PAWN SHOP FAQ
Have a question? We have answers!
What is a Collateral (Pawn) Loan?
  • A pawn loan is a loan that is secured by collateral held by the pawnbroker. The collateral that you bring in determines the value of the loan we can give you.
  • All customers provide collateral in the form of an item that holds value, typically items like; Jewelry, Tools, Electronics Game Consoles, Musical Instruments, and many more items. This eliminates the need to do a credit check and opens the doors to offer funding to individuals who would have otherwise been turned down.
  • Typically, loans are smaller, averaging around $200, although they can be as small as $20 or as high as several thousand dollars, depending on your needs.
Why would someone go to a pawnshop to get a loan?
  • Pawnshops offer the consumer a convenient and confidential way to borrow money in a very short amount of time (usually 5 – 10 minutes).
  • Loans are issued in cash, so you are able to use our loans for anything. Typically, loans from other lenders are only allowed to be used in very specific ways. Ex. Auto Loan or Home Loan
  • A cash loan can be funded without a credit check or legal consequences if the loan is not repaid. This means, our loans do not show up on your credit score or have any effect on them what so ever. 
How does a pawn loan work?
  • The process is much the same as any other lending institution, with the primary difference being the use of collateral instead of credit. With Loyalty Pawn we hold and store your personal collateral item until the loan is repaid. 
  • Pawn loans are written for four months (120 days).
  • At the end of the loan period, the customer is required to repay the loan in full plus the small amount of interest due, then the collateral is returned. If the customer cannot pay the loan in full, the option of paying only the interest due and rewriting the loan for another four months (120 days) is available. If the customer does not repay the loan in full plus the interest due or rewrite the loan by the due date (plus a 10 day grace period), the collateral is forfeited to the pawn broker.
  • All interest rates and terms of a loan are governed by the State of California and cannot be changed or modified by the pawn broker. A state licensed pawn broker is the only one who can legally write a pawn loan.
What is the loan procedure?
  • Bring us your collateral merchandise (see below for accepted items).
  • Tell us how much you would like to borrow.
  • One of our associates will evaluate the item(s) and discuss the allowable amount of your loan. This is a percentage of the value the broker believes the collateral would bring in a sale. Although the ratio varies across pawnshops and the type of collateral (say jewelry or a mountain bike), a typical loan is about 50 percent of the items resale value.
  • Present a valid, government issued photo ID.
  • Sign the required documents and collect your cash.
What items can I pawn?
  • We take almost anything of value. Common items that people pawn are gold, diamonds, watches, platinum, silver, and coins, as well as instruments, electronics, tools, televisions, laptops, iPhones, video game consoles, bikes, cameras, cars, collectibles, etc.
What items do you not accept?

Do most pawning customers lose their merchandise?
  • On average, 80 percent of all loans are repaid. Repeat customers make up most of our business, similar to any other lending or retail establishment.
  • Pawnbrokers know the vast majority of their customers because they often borrow against the same items over and over again.
  • It is solely the choice of the customer whether he/she elects to repay the loan.
What is the difference between buying at a pawnshop and buying at a retail store?
  • Price! Pawnshops can offer you the same quality merchandise as a retail establishment at prices ranging from 1/3 to 3/4 off retail.
  • Pawnshops are an excellent place to find great deals on Gold, Diamonds, Musical Instruments, Electronics, Video Game Systems, Cameras & much much more!
  • Make a fair offer; most prices are negotiable.
Is it true that you only sell used merchandise?
  • No its not.
  • Loyalty Pawn sells pre-loved merchandise in addition to new merchandise through our online eBay store AND our 4 stores located throughout the greater Sacramento area, including Roseville.
  • We have been in business for over twenty years, and pride ourselves in customer service and a clean, inviting and friendly environment.
How do I know that what I’m buying isn’t stolen?
  • Pawnshops are a highly regulated industry at the Local, State and Federal levels.
  • Every consumer provides government issued valid identification in a pawnshop whether selling an item or getting a loan.
  • Every pawn loan and buy is reported on a JUS123 form which is signed, thumb printed, and forwarded to local law enforcement to ensure that the item has not been reported stolen.
  • In California, every item sold is held for 7 days before the item may be resold in order to give law enforcement time to run the required check.
  • Pawnbrokers are governed by all of the major federal laws that apply to entities designated as financial institutions. The federal laws that regulate the pawn industry are the Patriot Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, as well as Data Privacy and Safeguard of Consumer Information as part of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Rules. Pawn shops that deal in firearms are regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Pawnbrokers may also be Federal Firearms License holders
