What is the difference between pawning and selling?

When you pawn, you are given the chance to redeem the item that you have put up as collateral until you pay back your loan and interest.  A sell works the same way as a pawn, except once you sell the item, it then belongs to the pawn shop.  The only way to get it back afterwards is to buy the item off the sells floor at sells price.

What items do you loan on?

We do loans on anything of value subject to managers approval.  Mostly all electronics we do not take any older then 2 years of age according to the manufactures date.  All televisions, dvd players, and stereos must have the remote before we can take it in pawn.  We loan on gold, diamonds, and platinum.

How do you decide how much to loan?

Items such as gold and platinum, we loan by the weight of the item.  Electronics depends on the condition, name brand, and model.

Do you take guns?

We no longer take guns or any weapons such as knives.
