HOW DOES PAWN WORK?

All About Pawning

You can get funds from a licensed pawnbroker by taking your item to the store where a dollar amount offered is based on the value of the item, not your credit record.

 

You can pick up your item within the law-allowed time period by paying the money you received, plus the specified interest and any service fees.

A pawn transaction amount is entirely

based on the value of your item. There

is no credit check, proof of employment

or income required.


Pawning is an easy and fast safety-net

option to quickly get the money you

need without penalty. It is private

between you and the pawn shop.

Here's How it Works

Don’t worry about your items of value – they will be stored safely and securely.

1. Bring in item for us to examine. A dollar amount may or may not be offered based on the item’s value.

 

2. If the pawnbroker decides to offer you money for your item, a pawn ticket is issued which is an agreement between the you and the pawnbroker.

 

3. Cash is given to you with an agreement that interest will be paid on the pawned item until you come to pick it up.

 

4. When you come to pick up your item, you will bring your pawn ticket and the original amount, plus the interest you owe.

 

5. Once paid in full, your item will be returned to you.
