From an old saxophone to heirloom jewelry that is collecting dust, pawn stores offer excellent deals for your unwanted items. Pawn America has been in the business for over 30 years. According to their team, some items are much more likely to sell and command a high price than others. Here are four of the best items to pawn:

 

4 Best Items to Sell at a Pawn Store for Quick Cash

1. Jewelry & Precious Metals 

Authentic jewelry, including precious gemstones, diamonds, gold, and silver, is the most valuable item to pawn. Antiques and high-end pieces will get you the highest return, but you can also bring in scrap (broken, mismatched, unwanted) pieces, which can be used to create new items. Coins, Bars, and flatware made of precious metals are also valuable for resale. As with jewelry, antiques and rare items command the highest price, but scrap pieces can quickly add up as well.

 

2. Electronics 

New, high-end electronics are a hot-ticket item in pawn stores. These include laptops, tablets, smartphones, video game systems, televisions and digital cameras, as well as music equipment such as stereo systems and amplifiers. Many people go to a pawn store first rather than paying a hefty price at a tech store, so these items tend to sell quickly.

 

3. Firearms 

Most pawn stores are happy to buy firearms because they retain their retail value better than many items. Bring your unloaded pistols, rifles, handguns, revolvers, and shotguns in a locked case.

4. Musical Instruments

Musical instruments are another hot seller in pawn stores. Electric and acoustic guitars and basses, violins and cellos, horns, clarinets, and drums are some of the most popular items. Top brands include Gibson®, Fender®, and Yamaha®. The price will depend on the brand, type, and condition of the instrument.
