FAQs

What items can I pawn at Pawn USA?

We accept a wide range of items including gold, silver, and platinum jewelry (even broken pieces), luxury watches, electronics, tools, musical instruments, and more. If you’re unsure, just give us a call or stop by — we’ll be happy to take a look!

How does pawning work?

Bring in an item of value, and we’ll assess its worth. If you accept the offer, we’ll give you a cash loan with your item held as collateral. You’ll have 30 days to repay and reclaim your item, with the option to renew for another 30 days if needed.

Is my item safe while it’s in pawn?

Yes. All pawned items are securely stored on-site in a protected, monitored environment. We treat your belongings with care and confidentiality.

Do you run credit checks for pawn loans?

No credit checks are required. Your item secures the loan, so your credit history doesn’t matter.

What’s the difference between pawning and selling?

Pawning is a loan — you get your item back when the loan is repaid. Selling means you’re handing over ownership permanently in exchange for cash. We offer both options and can help you decide what’s best for your needs.

Can I shop your inventory online?

At this time, our retail items are available in-store only. Inventory changes frequently, so stop in to see what’s new!

Do you offer layaway?

Yes! Put any item on layaway with just 20% down and take up to 90 days to pay the rest. It’s a great way to secure something special before it’s gone.

Do you repair jewelry and watches?

We sure do! We offer full-service repairs including ring resizing, clasp and chain repair, stone replacement, watch battery replacement, and more. Bring your item in for a free repair quote.
