Tips and suggestions

We have compiled a check list for you to tick when looking for your next pawn shop.

This is a guide check list only with the intention of narrowing down what companies to use and what companies to stay away from.

  • Do they have their rates clearly advertised?
  • Is the rate they offer Excellent ok or bad in comparison with the best in the list?
  • Are they lending you the right amount for your goods?
  • When Jewellery, do they advertise the price they pay per gram?
  • Are they flexible on their loans?
  • Do they allow ending the contract sooner with a discount?
  • Do they offer insurance on your goods?

We have listed just the basics, the rest are common sense. One last thing, remember to keep on checking our website for changes on current and new pawn shops.

We hope this has been useful, and if you think we should add any more information to this page feel free to email your suggestion, we love hearing from our customers.

How Do Pawn Shops Work and how to use them on your favor.
Pawn shops generally charge very high FEES (interest) and have a bad reputation for taking advantage of people. But this is changing, thanks to websites like this one and the internet pawn shops are having to get more competitive. Therefore when looking for a pawn shop we have highlighted a list for you to keep into account when choosing a company:
  • Are you getting a good, ok or not so good rate?
  • Do they advertise their Loan rates on their website?
  • Do they lend you a fair amount on your items?
  • When Jewellery, do they advertise the price they pay per gram?
  • Are they flexible on their loans?
Always follow our comparison chart, as we have done the homework for you and working out the most suitable pawn shops and what goods they accept.
