Are items in a pawn shop stolen?

No! We work closely with law enforcement. Every item that comes into the pawn shop must be reported to the appropriate authorities, including the customer's information, a serial number, and a detailed description of the item.

How does a pawn shop work?

Pawnbrokers lend money on valuable items like gold and diamond jewelry, musical instruments, televisions, tools, firearms, and more. Customers provide collateral, allowing easy loans without differentiating risk levels. The loan period is 30 days with a 15-day grace period. Customers can redeem their item, pay a finance charge, or extend their loan as needed.

The main difference is price! Pawn shops often offer items at up to 90% off retail prices, with a variety of items available.
