Tips for Pawning Items at the Pawn Shop

Pawning” is a process in which you give the pawn shop an item in exchange for a cash loan. For example, you might pawn your television as collateral for a $100 loan.  If you repay the loan by a specified date after you pawn the item, you can retrieve your TV. The loan repayment amount will include interest and fees that are typically regulated by the state. If you don’t repay the money on time, the pawn shop takes ownership of the TV and can offer it for resale.  Most of the items pawned are reclaimed by their owners, but some are forfeited and provide inventory for the pawn shop to sell. Pawn shops also purchase items outright to resell.

NEWSFLASH - Gun Purchasing at Record High

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Post-holiday Video Game System Wonderland

With the Christmas rush behind us, Metro Pawn & Gun is teaming with fantastic deals. Video game consoles are a very popular gift during the holiday season. It seems as though one can barely keep up with the newest iteration of the Xbox or Playstation systems, and even variations within each product line. That original, black Xbox One seems dull when compared to the limited edition Halo 5: Guardians bundle. From the metallic blue accents and military insignias to the custom sound effects, this is dedicated to Halo fans, featuring content otherwise unavailable along with a custom controller and various other extras. But for those of us that may not be die-hard Halo aficionados, a stock Xbox One that came into our shop the day after Christmas may do just fine – especially considering the savings that are sure to be realized.

‘Tis the Season for Snowblowers

We have, thus far, experienced a rather mild winter here in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas – a few mere dustings of snow that did not persist for long. But winter is a long way from over, and just because we are not buried in two feet of white holiday jubilation does not mean we are out of the woods.

No problem – we understand the needs of our clients and have a solution.

Watching the Gold Market

January 2nd of the year 2000 would have been a great day to buy gold! At $288 per ounce, people that were watching the gold markets back in mid-1976, when one ounce of gold was selling for around $105, must have been kicking themselves for not having cashed in their savings account or college fund and bought gold coins or bullion. For those who did, August of 2011 was a happy month, as they turned their relatively meager investment into a $1917 per ounce cash portfolio!

Your Conceal And Carry Permit Connection

Since Metro Pawn & Gun offers a complete inventory of firearms, it is logical that we would provide support for a variety of firearm training and permit courses. We have a relationship with an independent contractor, Bold Enterprises, LLC, who provides Minnesota State approved firearms training for Conceal & Carry permits.

Upgrading Computers at Metro Pawn & Gun

It is no secret that when you purchase a new computer, laptop or tablet, it is virtually obsolete in a very short period of time. "Moore's law" is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years.  There is debate as to whether this period is two years on the dot, or eighteen months, or accelerating or decaying, but one fact remains – it will not be long before you feel the need to upgrade your computing device.
