FAQ's
Q: What is a pawnshop?
A pawnshop is a lending institution where an individual can get a cash loan based on the inherent value of his/ her merchandise. Q: How does the pawning process work?
A typical transaction starts with a potential borrower bringing an item he/ she wants to use as collateral into a pawnshop. The pawnbroker then determines how much to loan on the given item. In general, the pawnbroker will loan out however much money the borrower needs, though considerably less than the resale value of the collateral. If the loan, or at least the interest is not paid off in a specified time (usually four months), then the item is forfeited and can be sold by the pawnbroker. Q: What kinds of items do pawnshops take for collateral?
It varies by pawnbroker, but most accept various items for collateral including jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, firearms, vehicles, tools, antiques, memorabilia, and sometimes even furniture. Q: Who gets loans at a pawnshop?
People from all walks of life take their merchandise to pawnshops. Throughout history, people have used pawnshops as a source of capital in times of need and also as a means as to finance business ventures. Additionally, many people who do not have bank accounts or credit cards would find it impossible to obtain a loan from any other legitimate source than a pawnbroker. Put simply, pawnshops are a convenient source of money for individuals in need of a short-term loan. Q: What kinds of items do pawnshops sell?
In addition to items that have been forfeited by the borrower, pawnshops also sell items that have been purchased outright. Pawnshops are generally full of used goods, but pawnbrokers often purchase new items such as guitars, guitar strings, microphones, etc. At the request of a customer, pawnshops can also order goods and jewelry at a lower cost than many retail establishments.
