Do you like to save money? I do. I am an expert, and I have some tips for you. There are several ways that you can use a pawn shop. You can get a loan on something you own that has value. You can buy things at great prices. I'll teach you about it!
Did you ever wonder how pawn shops work? In this guide, I will explain how a pawn loan works, and how we value your items.
You have never seen a pawn shop like ours. We clean, polish, and steam all of the jewelry that we put out for sale. That is why they shine like they do! We have over 300 gold rings in our display case. Not to mention our silver rings! We also have gold and silver necklaces and bracelets. How do we do it? We start by inspecting the piece.

They're pricey but beautiful, and in general, a good investment when bought at market value (they tend to go up in value.) This was a transitional model, they tweak certain parts of the watch as [...]
This came in one day. It was sitting on my desk in the back room when I came into work. "That's cool." I thought. And so it was. It turns out it is over 100 years old, possibly older. It appears to be Hetian jade, but I'm not 100% sure. I was excited to be able to play with it for a few weeks before it sold. It ended up going right back to China, after its stay in the [...]
