What Is a Pawnshop?

A pawnshop offers loans advanced against collateral. Collateral is merchandise that you own that you offer in exchange for cash. You may repay your loan plus interest within a set amount of time in order to reclaim your property. This is a pawn and is most useful when you need quick cash and may not have bank approved loan merchandise such as a vehicle or home that you may borrow against. Also, you still have the right to your property as long as you can make a monthly payment to extend the period of your loan. Your property is safe and secure and unavailable to the public for as long as you choose to extend your loan. This process is pretty easy and takes minutes. The only requirement is that you are 18 or over and have two valid forms of identification. We also purchase and sell goods directly. We hold that merchandise for a security check and then it is available to the public for sale at a fraction of the retail cost. We buy, sell and pawn a wide variety of merchandise. Please contact us with any questions about specific merchandise to pawn, purchase, sell, or trade.
