Selling or pawning: what’s the difference?

Both start with an in-store evaluation of your item.

An outright sale

Sell your item

Bring in an item you no longer want. We evaluate it and make an offer. If you accept, we purchase the item and pay you the agreed amount.

  • You receive payment for the item.
  • Ownership transfers to the shop.
  • There is no loan to repay.

A direct sale, with no pickup date to manage.

A loan secured by your item

Pawn your item

Use an eligible item as collateral for a short-term loan. The item stays with us while the pawn is active.

  • Review the loan amount, charges, and dates.
  • Keep your pawn ticket for your records.
  • Repay the amount due within the redemption period to get your item back.

Borrow against your item with the option to redeem it.

How it works

Bring your item in, ask questions, and decide after reviewing the offer.

  1. Bring your item

    Visit with your item, a valid photo ID, and any accessories or paperwork that go with it.

  2. We evaluate it

    We look at condition, brand, completeness, and current market demand to determine an offer.

  3. Review your options

    We explain the purchase offer or pawn terms, including the charges and dates for a pawn.

  4. You decide

    If you accept, we complete the paperwork and payment. For a pawn, keep your ticket and plan for your due date.

Common questions

How do you determine what my item is worth?

Condition, brand, model, accessories, resale value, and market demand all matter. Precious metal values also depend on metal content, weight, and current market prices.

Can I discuss my item over the phone?

Yes. Call with questions about your item or the process. For an accurate evaluation, bring the item in so we can inspect it in person.

How long do I have to pick up a pawned item?

Check the maturity date and redemption terms on your pawn ticket. Call us if you’re unsure of your deadline or the amount needed to redeem your item.

Can I renew my pawn or pay down the balance?

Ask us about paying the monthly finance charge, reducing the principal, or paying the amount due to redeem your item. We’ll explain the balance, charges, and timing for your pawn.

What happens if I don’t redeem my item?

An unredeemed item can be forfeited and sold after the allowed redemption period ends. Contact us before your deadline to discuss your options.

What if I’m unsure whether you accept my item?

Give us a call. Tell us what you have, its condition, and whether you’re interested in selling or pawning. We can help you plan your visit.
