Frequently asked questions
How do cash loans work?
Bring in an item you own, we appraise it on the spot, and offer you a cash loan based on its value. We hold the item as collateral and you leave with cash in hand, usually in just a few minutes.
What does “no payments for 4 months” mean?
For the first 4 months of your loan you do not need to make any payments. After that you can repay the loan plus charges to pick up your item, or extend the loan by paying the renewal fee.
How do renewals work?
Pay the renewal fee before the due date and your loan extends for another term, so you keep possession rights to your item. You can also pay and extend online with MobilePawn.
Should I sell my item or take a loan?
If you want your item back, take a loan and use it as collateral. If you no longer need it, selling outright usually puts more cash in your pocket. We are happy to quote you both ways.
Do I need an appointment to sell gold?
No appointment is needed. Walk in during business hours and our staff will evaluate your gold while you wait.
What kinds of gold do you buy?
Rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants, class rings, dental gold, coins and bullion, in 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k and 24k.
Is broken or damaged gold okay?
Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings and tangled pieces are all welcome. Gold holds its value by purity and weight, not condition.
How do you determine what my gold is worth?
We base the offer on purity, weight and the current market price. If a piece has resale value as jewelry, that added value goes into the offer too.
How are stones and designer pieces evaluated?
Diamonds, gemstones and recognized designer pieces are reviewed separately from the gold weight, since branding and stones can add real value beyond the metal.
Am I obligated to sell after an evaluation?
Never. The evaluation and offer are free. If you would rather keep your item or think it over, that is completely fine.
Can I bring in other merchandise besides gold?
Absolutely. We also buy tools, electronics, guitars and amps, collectibles and more. Bring it in and we will take a look.
