Looking for extra money? Considering pawning a gun that’s been shitting in a safe for some time? The process of pawning a gun is easy, but there are some things to consider before doing so. Before setting foot into a pawn shop, it’s best to understand the value of the gun that you’re selling.
A to Z Gun and Pawn has put together some other guidelines for when you bring a gun to a pawnshop.
Receiving a Loan From a Pawn Shop
In many ways, pawning off a gun is not much different from pawning any other item away. When bringing a gun to a pawn shop, they will give you a loan based on the value of the gun as collateral. If you’re unable to pay the loan by the date that was agreed upon, the pawnshop will be legally allowed to hold onto the gun.
The time that is allowed to pay back your loan will vary by the pawnshop. The average time a pawnshop will give you is about 1 to 2 months.
You can also think about selling your gun, especially if you don’t think you’ll be able to pay back the loan. Selling old or unneeded guns is a great way to make quick cash. Selling your old guns also gives you room to buy new guns. Just remember about the loan when bringing your gun to a pawnshop.
What Types of Guns Can I Pawn?
Most pawnshops will vary on the types of guns they accept. It’s smart to call the pawnshop you plan on taking it to so they can confirm if they’ll take it. If that pawnshop won’t accept it, chances are there’s a pawnshop around that will accept it. There will be a pawnshop in your area that takes it. A to Z Gun and Pawn will accept almost all firearms.
What is the Value of my Gun?
Before taking your gun to a pawnshop, it’s best to do some research online and with other gun enthusiasts to see what the value of your gun is. Not doing some research beforehand can result in you being scammed out of hundreds of dollars. You’ll also want to see what condition your gun is in. See how much people are selling the same gun online and use it as a base price for how much you want.
It will never hurt to have an expert appraise your gun. This is the most accurate and reliable way to know how much it’s worth. Search for appraisers in your area and see what they say. It could save you from being scammed.
Preparing to Bring Your Gun to a Pawnshop
There isn’t too much to do when bringing your gun to a pawnshop. Make sure the gun is locked and secured in a carry case and be sure to bring along your gun license.
