Why Do People Use Pawn Shops?
Pawn shops are a great place for a small denomination and sometimes larger denomination collateral loans. If you only need a small amount of cash and can pay it back quickly, a bank loan isn't going to be a viable option. Most loan providers do not offer the same type of loans, and almost all of them will do a credit check first. If you are unemployed, a payday loan won't be a possibility either. No one at a pawn shop cares about your credit score or outstanding loans at other financial institutions.
Instead, you can use your valuables as collateral against a loan with your desired length and a specified interest rate. It’s for this reason that pawn shops outshine the rest. Pawn shops lend any amount of money, Whether you need a small amount, like using a very basic ring or necklace, or an enormous amount, such as a high-end car might pawn for thousands.
Find out your loan term and interest, leave your information, take your slip, and out you go, money in hand. Find you need an extension? Go back, pay the interest on the slip or whatever amount your particular shop requires and you have more time to come up with the agreed upon price.
Need more money? Take in something else to use as collateral for another loan. Lose your job? Can't find a new one? Decide you need the money more than the item you used as collateral? That's alright too. The pawn shop will just keep your item and sell it themselves. No collectors calling, no dings on your credit score and therefore, no problems.
Most pawn shops pawn the following:
- Guns
- Hand and Power Tools
- Electronics
- Game Systems
- Jewellery
- Gemstones
- Diamonds
- Cars
- Watches
- Gold
- Silver
- Coins
- And so much more
Pawnbrokers also do simple buying and selling of items. You might get more money off of Ebay or Craigslist, but taking it down to the closest pawn store is a fast and hassle-free way to divest yourself of your unwanted heirloom jewellery, spare car, or old Nintendo Wii. Going to a pawn shop is also a great way to find excellent deals on items you do want, and the contents of the shelves vary from week to week.
So do the smart thing, get a short term loan or just sell your valuables for extra cash. The point is, you can only score when visiting a pawn shop.
