Local Pawn Shops: Things to Consider

When Long Islanders are looking to buy or sell jewelry or other precious items or they need cash fast, there’s only one place they go: Gold Coast Jewelry and Pawn. Servicing Nassau and Suffolk Counties for years, the experts at Gold Coast provide high-quality services and always go above and beyond to meet the needs of their clients; it’s no wonder why they are the leading jewelry pawn shop on Long Island!

Perhaps you need some extra cash, or you just want to get rid of some unwanted jewelry and make some money in the process; either way, you’re probably thinking about visiting a pawn store. You’ll have no trouble finding local pawn shops, either; just type in “pawn stores near me” and dozens of results will pop up. Before you head to the first place you see, however, it’s important to keep in mind that not all jewelry and diamond pawn shops are created equal.

Unfortunately, too many places swindle their clients by making low-ball offers and the only one that makes out on the deal is the owner of the store.

When it comes to selling your precious items or taking out pawn shop loans, there’s no doubt that you want to get the best deal possible. To ensure you choose the most reputable facility, consider the following factors when you’re looking for local pawn shops.

Years in Business

New pawn shops seem to pop up on every corner overnight, and just as quickly as they open, they shut down. Be wary of brand new pawn stores that set up in sketchy locations and seem to be makeshift facilities; more often than not, these types of shops are scams and are only looking out for one thing: themselves.

The most reputable pawn shops have been in business for years and have become well-respected within the community. They aren’t there to take advantage of you; they truly want to work with you to help you find the best options possible. So remember, the longer the shop has been open, the more reputable it will be.

Reputation

Do some digging to find out about the reputation of the facility. Take a look at their website or search the Internet to see if you can find customer reviews. Ask people you know if they have ever used the local pawn shops you are considering and if so if they would recommend them. If you can’t find any info or if the info you have found is shady, keep on looking because chances are, the facility isn’t reliable. When it comes to securing pawn shop loans, the reputation of the facility is everything.

Ask About Credentials

Every pawn store that operates in the United States has to abide by federal laws. They must comply with the US Patriot Act, comply with the Truth and Lending Act, and comply with IRS codes. These facilities are also required to carry the appropriate state and local licenses.

Find out if the facilities you are considering carry the appropriate licensing, such as a pawnbroker’s license, a general business license, and a secondhand dealer license. Additionally, ask about the insurance that they carry; a reputable pawn shop will also have insurance that will protect your items against damages and theft.

If the pawn shop you are considering isn’t licensed and isn’t insured, be wary about doing business with them. If they aren’t compliant with the law, walk away. If you do business with a non-licensed, uninsured facility, there’s a chance that you could get in legal trouble or lose the items that you have pawned, and that’s definitely the last thing you want!

By considering the above factors, you’ll be able to find a reputable pawn shop that you can trust. If you’ve been searching for a reliable pawn store but keep coming up short – or you just don’t want to go through the hassle of doing such extensive research – visit Gold Coast Jewelry and Pawn.

I stopped in for some Christmas shopping and was amazed with all the beautiful jewelry they have. I ended up buying a few Tiffany & Co. items and a couple of great looking watches. This jewelry store is clean and beautiful. Their high quality diamond jewelry is amazing and the owners take the time to show you in detail the quality of their pieces giving me piece of mind with my purchase. Thank you much!!!
