Why Would I Consider Buying From A Pawn Shop?
Pawnshops often have the same brand name items and comparable items at a very significant savings compared to original retail prices. Our pawn shop is regulated by the State of Florida just as any other business. Just as with any professional business you will find courteous employees always eager to help clients with their questions.
What Items Can I Pawn And How Much Can I Get?
We typically accept a variety of items from jewelry to electronics that are in working order. The value of an item is assessed based on several factors such as age, working condition, cosmetic appearance, missing documentation or parts and consumer demand. In order to pawn or sell goods a photo id, personal information and thumb print are documented.
How Do I Know That What I Buy Is Not Stolen?
All items taken at a pawnshop, whether loaned upon or purchased, are listed with a complete item and seller description. This list is provided to the local police and is required by law. The law also requires that these items be held for a minimum of 30 days (holding period) before they are available for sale in order to cross check for stolen property.
What Happens If I Can't Afford To Pick Up My Items?
As a borrower you have the option of making a 30 day extention payment or pay down the loan to ensure a continuation of the loan agreement. After the 30-day hold period has passed and the owner fails to pick up their pawned items, the title to the property passes to the pawnbroker and the property becomes available for sale in the shop.
Who Can Pick Up Pawned Items?
Only the orginal borrower may pick up items. The borrower must bring their pawn receipt, photo id and make payment of all applicable fees before the property is released. In the event that the pawn receipt is lost, a valid Florida Drivers License or State issued photo id may be accepted.

How Pawnshops Are Really Operated
Most people have heard of pawn shops, but many have ideas and images that are, shall we say, less than accurate on just what a pawn shop is and what we offer. The short definition - we offer a short term loan based on the collateral that you pledge. No credit check, no wait for approval by the loan officer, just fast cash!
When you have a loan to buy your home, you pledge the home as collateral in the event that you don't, or can't, pay back the loan. If you don't pay your loan back, your home becomes the property of the bank. We operate in much the same fashion.
You bring in an item to pledge for a loan, you leave the item with us, and we give you cash and a receipt to bring back. In Florida, the term of the loan is 30 days. You can pay the interest at this time and we will give you a "new" loan, again good for another 30 days. Most people do pick up their collateral and repay the loan, but when they do not, we in turn sell the items to recover our investment.
So, the next time you see the dark portayal of Hollywood's idea of a pawn shop, you will certainly know that it is by far from the truth. Now, we can't say that some folks haven't had a bad experience with someone behind the counter of a pawn shop, but, we guarantee that at Pawn King, you will always be greeted with a smiling face and treated with a taste of true southern hospitality. That is our promise and pledge to you!
