You see them in various parts of town and you have been wondering just exactly what is a pawnshop, how do they work and why are they becoming more common place?

Pawnshops date back to ancient times and are one of the earliest recorded lending institutions. During the late Middle Ages the House of Lombard in Europe had a group of pawnshops. The sign of the House of Lombard was the three golden balls and this sign was associated for years with the pawn industry.

The pawn industry came to America with the first settlers and in the early part of this century pawnbroking was regarded as the main source of consumer credit. With the rise of large consumer credit institutions, such as finance corporations, savings and loan associations, and credit unions, the pawnshops are no longer the major source of consumer credit. However, they still play a vital role in the area of providing consumer credit. The tremendous demand of relatively small borrowing unavailable from other sources is the main contributor to today's popularity of pawnshops.

If you are interested in saving money and finding great values, the pawn shop is the place for you to go. The pawnshops have it all. All we are about is a quality merchandise at outstandingly low prices. Pre-owned merchandise of excellent quality can be found on our shelves every day at the lowest prices. Every time we loan on an item we expect that some day it could be on our shelf for sale. Therefore, we will only deal with good quality merchandise. Also, the pawnshop is an established business. The pawnshops are not here today and gone tomorrow like the flea market, auction sale, garage sale, or the guy selling out of a van on the side of a road. Today's pawnbrokers are in a constant race after a good reputation. They are regulated and licensed by the state to ensure they do not deal in stolen merchandise. For the same purpose all transactions are closely monitored by law enforcement agencies.
