How do I pawn an item?

When a customer brings an item to Pawn Express for a pawn loan, the first thing we will do is inspect the item to determine its value. Loan amounts vary according to the item’s value, condition and ability to resell. Pawn Express structures its loans for 30 days from the issue date.

How do I repay the loan?

On your due date you have 3 options for repayment:

  • Return to pay your loan in full and reclaim your item(s), to equal the principle plus interest.
  • Customer may choose to renew the loan (if applicable) by simply paying the interest/fees due. In this case, the loan would be extended for 30 days from its original due date. Extensions can be done as many times as needed. There is no limit for how many times a customer can renew a loan.
  • Don’t return and Pawn Express will keep your item(s). This is considered a forfeit, and has no impact towards your credit and eligibility to do business with us in the future.

How do you determine the value of jewelry?

When a customer brings in jewelry as collateral for a pawn loan or simply to sell, we use specialized tools to test precious metals and diamonds to determine their worth. Part of the process includes testing the metals with a special acid solution to determine the karat of the gold. This is done to ensure there are no false readings on your item that may prohibit us from giving you a loan on that particular piece. Diamond tests include a visual inspection using a jeweler’s magnifying glass/loupe, at which point the sales representative will take note of the size, weight, clarity and color of the stone(s).
