Pawn shops do not have the greatest reputation. In the minds of many people, they are shady and a little scary, run by creepy-looking boys, and filled with desperate customers. But according to Birnholtz those stereotypes of the pawnshops are not grounded in reality.

Go to a pawnshop today and you’re probably in a clean, well-lit store, full of used quality items. Some even turn to Instagram to sell their luxury goods. And the idea that pawn shops are filled with items of dubious origin? It’s just not true, according to industry groups, who say that less than 1% of the items that people try to pledge appear to have been stolen. Legitimate pawnshops check ID and cooperate with law enforcement to ensure that the things they sell are not stolen property.

What Pawnshops like and don't like

If you plan to pawn something then here are some things you should keep in mind.

Don't try to pawn items that are old, poor quality or too large. These items will most likely not be accepted.

Items that are ok to pawn include: working newer computers, fi****ms, jewelry, musical instruments and good quality hand tools

‍Don't be surprised if most pawnbrokers seem rude when asking about the items that you are wanting to pawn. Pawnbrokers are legally obligated to verify if you are the legal owner of the item. They will ask you questions about the item until they are comfortable that you are the true owner.

If you are trying to pawn an item and it gets accepted, you will have to show government issued ID. This is required by law.

Pawnshops boost your local economy

Did you know that there are approximately ten thousand (Yes, 10,000) pawn businesses in the United States?

That is ten thousand locally-owned small businesses in communities all around the country.

And - did you have any idea how many jobs these businesses create? Try over seventy-three thousand!

Our country is built on the backs of small business owners, and pawnshops are a huge part of that.

Quick Side-Note: Did you know that during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, many pawn shops were deemed essential and stayed open, offering their services in a safe and professional manner?

Pretty cool stuff when you think about it.
