How Pawn Shops Work

If you have never been to a pawn shop before, or even if it has just been a while, it is a good idea to take a few minutes to learn about how they work. While most people think they are just a place to sell your items, the fact is they are much more than that. We offer a number of great services to the NJ community, and are always looking to help in any way we can.

The following are the most common areas in which we serve our customers. Take a moment to read through them and see if any of them would be helpful to you. If you have any questions at any point, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We can be reached by calling (201) 354-5515.

Offering Great Deals

Since we buy so many different items from our customers, we have a large and ever changing inventory of items for you to purchase. Many of the things we buy, such as antiques, watches and jewelry don’t really break very often so buying them used is no problem. Our customers can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars compared to buying a similar item brand new. In some cases, such as when buying antiques, you simply won’t be able to find them anywhere else at any price.

When customers want to buy an item from us they simply come into our shop, find what they are looking for, and make the purchase. The entire process is very quick and simple.

Buying Your Items

In addition to selling items, we also buy many different things from our customers. If you have something of value, such as gold, silver, watches, jewelry or other items, we would be happy to buy them from you. To do this, you simply bring your item into our shop and have one of our pawn brokers take a look. We are experts on these types of items and many others, so we know how much they are worth. We’ll do a free, no obligation appraisal, and then make you an offer to purchase your items.

If you decide to accept our offer, we’ll have you fill out some simple paperwork. Once done, we’ll pay you cash on the spot. This is the fastest and easiest way to get money when you need it in the Bayonne area. Of course, you are never obligated to sell your items to us, so there is no downside to bringing something in to see what it is worth.

Pawning Items

Another option that many people like is pawning their items. This is somewhat similar to selling their items, except you will have the option to get the item back within a certain amount of time. For example, if you need some extra cash for a car repair and you have a nice watch, you can consider pawning it.

We will determine the value of the watch, and after the paperwork is filled out, we will give you a cash loan for the value. If you are able to repay that loan within the specified amount of time, you’ll get your watch back. If not, you can either request an extension or we can sell the watch to cover the loan. This means there is no risk of you defaulting or having a negative item on your credit report.

Whichever services you are interested in, we are here to help you every step of the way. Please don’t hesitate to stop in our shop anytime, or give us a call at (201) 354-5515 to learn more.
