pawnshop
Trade-in loan store
A pawnshop is a business where people bring valuables—jewelry, electronics, tools, musical instruments—and receive cash loans using those items as collateral.
If the borrower repays the loan plus interest within a set period, they get their item back; if not, the pawnshop sells it.
Pawnshops also buy items outright and sell secondhand goods.
They serve people who need quick cash without credit checks, though interest rates tend to be high.
