What is a Pawn?
A pawn is a form of loan based on collateral. A pawn loan requires no credit checks, and never affects your credit if you don't come back. The collateral is the item you bring in to loan against, such as a ring made of precious metals, a Rolex watch, or a Louis Vuitton handbag. We offer the best collateral loans available to the community; see below for the types of items we take as collateral.
The pawn process is as follows: we evaluate your item to see if it is eligible for a loan, and determine the amount we can offer you for it. The item remains yours, but stays with us under the contract until you pay back the loan amount plus some interest and fees. The interest and fees are set by the state of California and are highly regulated. Your item stays securely stored until you come back for it.
Contrary to popular belief, items on pawn are not available for sale to the public, as they are under contract. If you don't come back to pick up your item or renew your contract, we take possession of the item and can resell it to recoup the amount loaned against it.
What Items Do We Take?
We understand that everyone has different valuable assets, which is why we accept a broad array of items to serve as collateral for our loans. From electronics and jewelry to collectibles and tools, we believe in offering our customers a range of options to secure the financial help they need.

Preparing Your Items
How do you prepare for the process of pawning or selling your item?
When bringing in your items to pawn or sell, some items require more time to authenticate, test or verify.
Luxury watches, handbags and sneakers
Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour for our authentication process. In some cases it could take longer, but not usually. We use third-party software to identify whether items are authentic, as well as our network of professionals to assist. Watches must be in working order and have batteries already installed, if applicable.
Laptops, tablets, game consoles and other electronics
You must provide any necessary passwords. In some cases, you may need to change or remove these passwords. For Apple products, log out of the “Find My” feature and sign out of the iCloud account. You must also disconnect Apple Watches from the iCloud account. Turn off parental locks on game consoles and any other devices. We will not accept items that are locked, broken, outdated, or if passwords are unavailable.
Anything that needs to be charged or tested
Items must be charged to at least 50% battery when you bring them in, and must be fully testable. For any audio equipment, bring all cables, connectors or anything else needed to test the system. We must be able to see that the item is fully functioning.
