pawners
Collateral loan seekers
Pawners are people who pawn items—leaving possessions with a pawnbroker as collateral for a loan.
If the pawner repays the loan plus interest within a set period, they reclaim the item; otherwise, the pawnbroker sells it.
The pawners lined up outside the shop on Monday mornings.
