From the counter to cash
How it works
- 01
Bring it in
Walk in with the item and a government-issued photo ID during store hours. There is no appointment to make.
- 02
We evaluate it
The item is inspected at the counter while you wait. Gold is tested and weighed, electronics are powered on, equipment is started.
- 03
Take the offer or leave it
You hear one number for a loan and, if you want it, one to sell. Turning both down costs nothing.
- 04
Leave with cash
Sign the ticket and the cash is yours the same day. A pawned item goes into climate-controlled storage until you pick it up.

Answers
Questions about pawning and selling
The short answers. Anything else, call the counter.
What do I need to bring to pawn something?
A government-issued photo ID and the item itself. Georgia law has every pawnbroker record your name, address and ID number for each pawn or purchase, so a ticket can’t be written without it. Chargers, cases, boxes and paperwork help the evaluation. No appointment is needed during store hours.
Does a pawn loan check my credit?
No. The item you leave secures the loan, so there’s no credit pull and no application. If a loan isn’t repaid, you give up that item and that is the end of it: nothing goes to collections and nothing is reported to the credit bureaus.
How long does a pawn loan last?
Every loan is written for 30 days, the period Georgia law sets for a pawn transaction. Pay the interest fee and the loan rolls into another 30-day period, and you can keep renewing for as long as you need the item held.
Can I sell an item instead of pawning it?
Yes. Ask for a loan offer, a purchase offer or both, and take whichever suits you. Selling ends it the same day. Pawning keeps the item yours to pick back up. Trade-ins toward something on the shelves are accepted too.
