Metro Pawn is a proud member of The National Pawnbrokers Association, and the Minnesota Pawnbrokers Association, and adheres to all professional standards of both organizations. 
Pawn is as old as Saint Nicholas, who was known as the Patron Saint of Pawnbrokers. Nobody really knows how old it truly is, but the concept is simple: something of value is held in exchange for something else of value.
In modern times, Pawn is highly regulated. Pawn brokers take in merchandise of all sorts, everything from DVD movies to fine furs. In exchange, the Pawn broker agrees to hold the item for a fixed period of time and sell it back to the person who pawned it for a fixed price. If they fail to buy the item back in the agreed time, the item is available for sale to the general public.
So, what do we take in as pawn? The market is what sets the demands and standards. Sometimes we're looking for musical instruments, sometimes not so much. We're always looking for top-quality jewelry, tools and electronics.
And, here's something you need to know:
We are ethical, scrupulous business people who obey the law. We don't take stolen merchandise, and if it's at all questionable we'll contact the authorities. We don't break the law. Ever.
It's simple: when you need a loan, jewelry, guns, a handgun, electronics, a tool, a place to shop in Richfield, a place to shop in Minnesota, a pawnbroker you can trust, something close to Minneapolis, a Twin Cities place to find a bargain, you've found it in Metro Pawn and Gun. We carry a wide variety of guns, especially handguns from a number of quality manufacturers. We loan on pawn, and as a licensed pawnbroker in Richfield, we know Minnesota values. Our location just outside Minneapolis is convenient from anywhere in the Twin Cities, and when you come to our store to look at jewelry, you might find the electronics or a tool that you've been searching for but never thought of a pawn shop as a place to find it.

Whether it's a pistol you've had locked in the safe and no longer want, or hunting equipment you just don't use anymore, we're the pawnbroker to bring it to for the best price around. A pawnshop isn't just a pawnshop, it's an opportunity to save some money, or get some money from things you no longer need.
