TL;DR

Pawn Pro buys, sells and pawns laptops, tablets, game systems, flat-screen TVs and studio equipment at its store on Washington Street SW in Covington. Every item is powered on and tested at the counter, so bring it charged with its charger, controllers or remote. Sign out of iCloud, Google or Microsoft and reset the device first; a locked device cannot be valued. Newer models with their accessories get the strongest offers.

Which electronics can I bring in?

The shop lists laptops, tablets, game systems, TVs, flat screens and studio equipment among the things it takes in every day. Phones, cameras and audio gear are worth asking about. The rule is simple: it has to work, and it has to be something people still want to buy. A current-generation console or a recent laptop moves quickly. A ten-year-old tablet may not get an offer at all.

How do I get the best offer on a device?

Charge it before you come in so it can be switched on at the counter
Bring the charger, controllers, remote, cables and the box if you kept it
Back up your files, sign out of every account and reset it
Wipe the screen and clear the dust out of the vents

A device still tied to an account fails the test, because nobody can resell it. Activation locks matter most on iPhones, iPads and MacBooks.

Is my data safe if I pawn a laptop?

Treat it as if a stranger will open it, because if the loan is not repaid, one eventually will. Resetting the laptop before you leave home is the safest step. If you are pawning rather than selling and expect it back, still sign out of banking, email and password managers. The device sits in storage for the 30-day term either way.

Can I buy used electronics at Pawn Pro?

Yes. Consoles, games, laptops and TVs that come across the counter go on the shelves at discounted prices, and the selection changes daily. Because stock is one of a kind, call (678) 712-9430 before driving over for a specific model.

Answers

Electronics: common questions

What electronics does Pawn Pro take?

Laptops, tablets, game systems, flat-screen TVs and studio equipment, among other popular tech. Items have to power on and work. Newer models with their chargers, controllers and remotes get the strongest offers, while older or damaged pieces may get a lower number or a pass.

Should I reset my laptop or tablet before I pawn it?

Back up what you want, then sign out of iCloud, Google or Microsoft and reset it. A device still locked to an account can’t be checked or resold, which makes it close to worthless as collateral. Bring it charged so it can be tested on the spot.

Do I need the charger to pawn a laptop?

Bring it. A laptop, console or tablet has to power on to be evaluated, and a missing charger or controller lowers what can be offered. Original boxes help a little. Cables, controllers and accessories help more.

Can I pawn a TV?

Yes, flat-screen TVs are on the list of items taken in daily. Bring the remote and the stand or the mounting screws, and check that the screen has no cracks or dead pixels. A bigger, newer smart TV brings more than an older model.

Do you sell used game consoles?

Yes. Game systems, controllers and games come through the store regularly and stock changes daily. Call (678) 712-9430 to ask whether a particular console is on the shelf before you drive over.
