Saving Money with Used Tools

Everyone owns and uses tools of some type at some point. It may just be the basic screwdriver and pliers in the kitchen drawer, or highly specialized tool sets of a professional in their given trade. The cost of such tools can range from fairly inexpensive to many hundreds of dollars. Some may be readily available while other unique tools may be more difficult to find.

Personal Electronics – Then & Now

Today, we live in the digital age of iPads, tablet computers and smart phones. Local device storage of media has given way to streaming services, with immense libraries of content available anywhere with one touch of your screen.

The Pawn Process

“Pawning” is a process in which you bring an item into the pawn shop in exchange for a cash loan. For example, you might pawn a gold wedding ring as collateral for a $250 loan.  If you repay the loan by a predetermined date, you can retrieve your gold ring. The loan repayment amount will include interest and fees that are typically regulated by the state. You also have the option to extend the repayment time frame, although this will incur continuing interest. If you fail to repay the money on time, the pawn shop takes ownership of the ring and can offer it for resale.

Collectibles at Metro Pawn & Gun

A collectible is an object suitable for a collection, such as a work of fine art, an antique or a rare item, but also includes a wide variety of items collected as a hobby, for display or as an investment whose value may appreciate. Vintage toys, antique firearms, old books, unique historical memorabilia and coins all make the cut, but are just a sliver of what can be considered collectible by those who collect. Scarcity, age and condition are definitely determining factors in the desirability and value of such commodities, but social popularity and perceived prestige can also influence the appeal. A pair of Yeezy Red October sneakers is certainly extravagant at $7,500, but to the affluent collector of footwear, they might be worth the price.

Home electronics have come a long way since the days of the cassette player connected to an analog stereo amplifier and a pair of speakers.

Surely you would need to purchase such items at a specialty audio/video establishment, right? Well, you can, if you want to pay top-shelf prices!

Buying a Rifle

The word "rifle" originally referred to the pattern of grooves called ‘rifling’ cut into the inside of the barrel. Rifles are used in warfare, defensive operations, hunting and shooting sports. At Metro Pawn and Gun we stock a large variety of rifles, including bolt action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, sporting rifles and collectible or antique rifles.

Scrap Jewelry

If you’ve ever accidentally left your gold bracelet in a pocket and unknowingly sent it through the washing machine, you are not alone. After such an unfortunate series of events, the bracelet may be clean, but had definitely seen better days.  It has been in your dresser drawer since then – perhaps waiting for the day when you might attempt to have it repaired.  Although this might fit the definition of ‘scrap’ jewelry, the fact that it is made of gold makes it valuable.  So what is the opportunity cost?  You could sell us the bracelet for cash, or let it continue to gather dust while anticipating a potential future restoration for which you will have to spend money.

Power Tools

Brand new power tools are expensive!  An average power tool can easily cost hundred of dollars or more. Mechanics, construction workers, handymen, and even the typical homeowner employ a variety of power tools on a regular basis. Metro Pawn & Gun offers an alternative to these steep prices while maintaining the functionality that many trades rely on for their livelihood.

Coin Collecting for Fun or Investment

Coin collecting is both a fun hobby and one that can be quite lucrative if you know what you’re doing. For some collectors, this is a very serious pursuit, while for others it may just be an enjoyable pastime. It often starts with children collecting various interesting or unusual coins, and may persist into adulthood with impressive and equally valuable portfolios. Whatever the case, coin collections can be worth a fair amount of money. If you are interested in pawning or selling your coins, or if you are looking for rare coins to add to your collection, Metro Pawn & Gun is the perfect place to visit.
