Pawn Shop

A Pawn shop is a business that accepts collateral in exchange for a short term cash loan. These short term cash loans can vary from State to State. Pawn shops charge monthly interest at a percentage and usually a loan origination fee. The percent of interest your charged will vary depending on what state you’re in when you need a loan. A pawn shop is a very helpful resource for people who are strapped for cash and have no way of borrowing from a credit card or wish not to take a loan from a relative. Pawn shops will take any item of value such as TV, computer, jewelry and many other things with a value. So here is an example of a typical loan process using the state of Nevada’s guidelines and policies for Pawn Shops.

Let’s say you brought in a 14kt gold bracelet with diamonds. You paid $3000 retail for it 10 years ago but it only has an intrinsic value of $800 meaning that if it was scrapped for metal the Pawn Shop owner could melt the gold and sell the diamonds whole sale and get $800. So the Pawn Shop owner could safely offer a Loan of $700 with 13% interest and a $5 loan origination fee at 90 days. During the 90 days you have the option to redeem or renew the item with the Pawn Shop. If your money situation is still tight after the 90 days and you need a another month or so you can opt to renew the item with the Pawn Shop for another 90 days which essentially means you would pay the 90 days of interest thus far and loan origination fee of $5.

After renewing the item the loan basically starts over and the interest goes back to day one with the loan originating fee being assessed again for $5. The last and final step of the Pawn shop process is redemption or default. Redemption is exactly how it sounds. You would bring in your ticket, pay back the original loan amount and the interest accrued thus far along with the $5 loan fee. If you still cant come up with the money borrowed at the end of the 90 days and cant afford to renew you would then default on your loan and the Pawn Shop owner would then sell or scrap your item to get back his money.

A Pawn Shop would much rather have you continue to pick up your item and re-loan on it then for you to default. If you default on your loan its not the end of the world but Pawn shop owners to have a system to keep track of your loan history and will adversely affect future loans if your defaulting more then your picking up.

Wonderful experience, Nick and Laura made it seamless and stress free. Thank you! They also sell super cool items!!

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!

My wife cashed in some coins and we got top dollar. We have sold to others before but no more, we found a real professional store in Nevada Coin & Jewelry. “Thank You”

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Building had great security to helped me feel safe in handling my items.

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.

Professional, friendly staff. Knowledgeable and fair. An interesting experience and would definitely visit again.

Gail B.

The staff are quick at work but not too quick to make you feel pressured into buying items or selling your items. They teach you about the items and tell you if they have use for your items or not. If they don’t have use for your items they call other places to see if they have a use for the items. Great staff!
