How much money do you get from a pawn shop?
Since pawnshops typically offer somewhere between 25\% and 60\% of an item’s resale value, you’ll need to pawn an item worth between $835 and $2,000 to get $500.
What’s the most a pawn shop will give you?
Jewelry and gold is always a go-to item that pawnshops nearly always buy. Depending on what you own, you may get $100, $1,000 or more for your jewelry, coins, gemstones or scrap metal or silver. A gun, some power tools, a lawn mower or a quality stereo or laptop computer in working condition may bring $100 or more.
How do pawn shops calculate value?
How do you determine the value of the item? Pawn shops base the value of the item on current appraised value, its current condition and the ability to sell the item. Pawnbrokers use research tools that they have at their disposal to determine an item’s value and get you the most money for the item.
Do you get more for pawning or selling?
If you bring in an item worth $1,000, you’ll get only a percentage of that amount in pawn loans, but sometimes you’ll get a higher percentage if you sell outright. The cash amount you receive for your valuable item depends on the pawnbroker.

How do pawn shops determine the value of items?
A pawn shop will determine the price of an item for sale based on its current appraised value, the item’s current condition, and how easy or hard it would be for the pawnbroker to resell the item. Pawnbrokers have a variety of tools at their disposal that they use to determine an accurate, fair price for buying and selling items.
What do pawn shops normally take?
Pawn shops are usually only interested in pure metals, like gold and silver, and diamonds. They often turn down gold-plated items, as well as costume jewelry. Take your jewelry to an appraiser or jeweler for a free assessment to find out what your jewelry contains and what it’s worth.
