How We Value Items

Authenticating Gold & Diamonds

When jewelry is the collateral for a pawn loan, our professionally trained staff will authenticate the precious metal and diamonds that adorn the piece. We will always ask your permission to test your item before we begin the authentication process that includes a visual inspection using a jeweler’s loupe, weighing the item, sizing (determining carat weight) any diamonds and noting the cut/color/clarity of each—you may know this as the 4 Cs. In addition, we will test the metal using a special acid that determines the karat of gold. This process does not damage your jewelry. It is done to ensure a clean test so there are no false readings on your item that may detract from what we can loan you.

Testing General Merchandise

When it’s general merchandise you want to pawn—TVs, stereos, DVD players, cameras, power tools, etc.—we will test each item to ensure it is in good working condition. That includes, but is not limited to, a visual inspection, plugging in an item and turning it on, and noting if any accessories are included. The better the condition of your item, the more money we can loan you. This is true for any collateral you bring in to pawn.

New vs. Pre-owned

Our pawn loan values are based on pre-owned retail prices, not what the item cost when it was new. Any collateral that is turned over to us and made available for sale is pre-owned and will be priced accordingly on our sales floor. The pawn loan amount we give you is based on that anticipated selling price. Items are researched and reviewed to ensure that our pawn loan values are in line with the general marketplace for pre-owned merchandise.

Overall Condition of the Item

The condition of an item is always taken into account during the appraisal process for a pawn loan. If one 32-inch television comes in that is in perfect condition and one 32-inch television comes in with a chipped base, we will loan more on the TV that is in better condition. This is true for any collateral.

Safe and Secure

While your item is in pawn, you still own it. Your item is safely stored until you come back to pay your pawn loan in full and claim your merchandise. When you give us an item of collateral for pawn, we keep all accessories (remote controls, cables, etc.) with your item, and place it in our secure facility in an area designated by your pawn loan number. The Gun Shop is fully insured for the total loan value of the collateral we keep.

Our team members are professionals who are trained in all aspects of the pawn industry, including extensive education on the products we receive and sell. They are required to complete several continuing education courses each year, and attend additional educational courses each quarter as new products/services are implemented in our pawnshops. Our team members take pride in their work and it shows—from their consistent dress code to the way they greet customers and confidently handle pawn transactions—they are professionals who are ready to help.

Our pawnshops are routinely audited by an Internal Audit & Security Department, and work closely with local law enforcement officials.

Am I getting my money’s worth?

This is a question that crosses everyone’s mind at some point or another. We know that the more you understand the factors involved in determining a loan amount, the more satisfied you will be, and the more likely you will be to return to our store. So, in an effort to help you better understand how we operate, we’ve put together a list of answers to some of our most common questions.

How does a pawn loan work?

Pawn loans are a quick and easy way to borrow money without a credit check or hassle. Loans are based on the value of your collateral, not your credit rating or pay schedule. A typical pawn loan has a term length of 30 days/one month. If you cannot pay back your pawn loan in full, we offer extensions to give you extra time. You may also choose to surrender your collateral as payment in full.

We provide pawn loans on a variety of items, including gold and diamond jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, tools, and more. Simply bring us an item of value, along with a valid photo ID and we’ll get you money in minutes after your loan is approved.

What is a extension?

If you are unable to pay back your pawn loan in full on its due date, you may get an extension. With a extension, you pay the interest that has accrued on your pawn loan in full. The principal pawn loan amount remains the same, as does the interest rate, but the due date is reset for the full loan term, 30 more days.

Will I lose my merchandise?

The majority of our customers repay their pawn loans and pick up their merchandise. If a customer chooses not to repay the pawn loan, the merchandise/collateral for the loan is forfeited.

How do you determine an item’s worth?

We base pawn loan amounts on the value of your item—its current appraised value, its current condition and our ability to sell the item. We use all the research tools we have at our disposal to determine an item’s value and get you the most money we can.

The appraisal process varies depending on the type of item—for example, jewelry is evaluated differently than a DVD player. We research and review items to ensure that our pawn loan values are in line with the general marketplace for pre-owned merchandise. To obtain the item’s retail value when it was new, its pre-owned market value, and how to determine its condition.

How do you determine the condition of an item?

The condition of an item is always taken into account during the appraisal process for a pawn loan. If one 32-inch television comes in that is in perfect condition and one 32-inch television comes in with a crack in the case, we will loan more on the TV that’s in better condition.

When it’s general merchandise you want to pawn, we test each item to ensure it is in good working condition. This includes, but is not limited to, a visual inspection, plugging an item in and turning it on, and noting if any necessary accessories (such as remote controls) and manuals are included.

The better the condition of your item, the more money we can loan you. This is true for any collateral.

How do you determine the value of jewelry?

When jewelry is the collateral for a pawn loan, we test the precious metals and diamonds to determine its worth.
The diamond testing includes a visual inspection using a jeweler’s loupe, weighing the item, sizing (determining carat weight) any stones, and noting the cut/color/clarity of each—you may know this as the 4 Cs.
In addition, we test the metal using a special acid that determines the karat of gold. This is done to ensure a clean test so there are no false readings on your item that may detract from what we can loan you.

How do you determine the price of gold?

The price of gold is based on market values, the price for which is routinely reviewed and updated. Prices can vary greatly as the loan amount for 24K gold is significantly higher than that of 14K gold.

Can you give a quote on an item over the phone?

Unfortunately, we cannot give quotes over the phone because loan amounts vary greatly depending on the condition of an item. For general merchandise, we test each item to ensure it is in good working condition. This includes, a visual inspection, plugging an item in and turning it on, and noting if any necessary accessories and manuals are included. The better the condition of your item, the more money we can loan. And for jewelry, we test to ensure diamonds and gold are genuine. This testing includes a visual inspection using a jeweler’s loupe, weighing the item, sizing (determining carat weight) any diamonds, and noting the cut/color/clarity of each—you may know this as the 4 Cs. In addition, we test the metal using a special acid that determines the karat of gold.

Why does the loan amount differ from the selling price at local retailers or even at our store?

Our pawn loan values are based on pre-owned retail prices, not what the item cost when it was new. Any collateral that is turned over to us and made available for sale is pre-owned and will be priced accordingly on our sales floor. The loan amount we give you is based on that selling price—and our ability to sell the item.
We offer you as much as we can while still allowing room to pay for the cost of storage, insurance and other costs of doing business.

Is my collateral safe while in pawn?

While your item is in pawn, you still own it. It is our responsibility to keep it safe and in good condition while it’s in our care. When you give us an item for pawn, we keep all accessories (remote controls, cables, etc.) with your item and place it in a secure area. Your item is safely stored here until you come back to pay your pawn loan in full and claim your merchandise. The Gun Shop is fully insured for the loan value of the collateral we keep.

Are pawnshops regulated?

Yes. States have regulated the pawn industry for decades, and most pawnbrokers are licensed and regulated by local authorities as well. We are subject to such federal laws as the Truth In Lending Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Patriot Act, and Federal Trade Commission Rules on Data Privacy and Security Transfer. At the federal level, we are regulated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), (ATF), and the Treasury Department.

Are pawnshops stocked with stolen merchandise?

Less than 1 percent of items are identified as stolen goods.

Pawnshops are actually the worst place to try and get rid of stolen merchandise, despite what you see on television or in the movies. Pawnshops are highly regulated, work very closely with local and federal law enforcement officials, and train their staff to be on the lookout for and identify stolen property. In addition, The Gun Shop utilizes an Internet-based crime-fighting tool called leadsonline.com, in which every pawn transaction is shared with police departments nationwide on a daily basis.
