How Our Evaluation Process Works
Every item begins with a free evaluation, after which you can choose to sell, pawn, or trade depending on your goals.
1. Selling Your Items
Bring your valuables to our store, where we’ll conduct a free evaluation. If you agree to the offer, you’ll leave with cash the same day.
2. Securing a Pawn Loan
Not ready to part with your items forever? Use them as collateral for a pawn shop loan. You’ll receive cash immediately, and once the loan is repaid, your item is returned.
