The modern pawn shop is a unique institution in today’s business world. It is a place where you can get a quick loan for items of value, or quick cash for items you wish to sell. You can also shop a robust and varied inventory of merchandise at remarkable prices.

Pawn shops may have received jaded reviews in the past – misconceptions such as being a great place to take stolen goods or that they basically dealt in junk. Neither of these can be further from the truth. Pawn businesses are held to the highest standards of accountability. We are not a flea market or garage sale where you can try to get a dollar or two for something that might have been slated for the garbage. In order to receive cash, whether in pawn or outright sale, the merchandise has to be in good condition, fully functional if appropriate, and re-sellable. Determining an item’s value and desirability is the first step in this process. You might have that ‘priceless’ quilt that grandma made for you as a kid, but that doesn’t mean anyone would be willing to buy it. However, the market would be favorable for items such as a used firearm, a home theater receiver, a gold coin and so forth. With extensive resources at our disposal, we can accurately determine what something is worth; this will help get you the most money in pawn or sale, and also provide proper pricing on things that we sell.

Close cooperation with law enforcement ensures that all products in our possession are legal and not stolen or otherwise in question. A pawn shop would be the WORST place to bring the car stereo that was ripped out of someone’s vehicle! We don’t see this happen often, but then again, thieves are not generally the brightest bulbs in the ceiling.
