A pawnshop is a credit organization that issues cash loans secured by gold items, scrap and other valuable things. If suddenly the client does not return the debt within the agreed time frame, then the pledged item remains in the pawnshop, and anyone can purchase it in the trade department or pawnshop store.
Instructions
Step 1
Pawnshops are interested in the quick sale of pledged items, so their cost is relatively low. Therefore, many come to pawnshops to profitably invest and buy a gold product at a reasonable price.
Step 2
Get serious about choosing a pawnshop where you are going to buy gold. Make inquiries, and if the reputation of the organization is questionable, the purchase should be abandoned. Because sometimes there are cases when pawnshop employees collude with fraudsters and sell counterfeits under the brand name of gold products.
Step 3
If possible, consult with a specialist jeweler about the authenticity of the purchased item.
Step 4
Consider the piece of jewelry carefully before purchasing. Pay attention to the sample, it must be put on gold jewelry. Ask the seller for the documentation that should accompany the product being sold. It indicates, in addition to the name of the product, its weight, size, metal from which it is made. Check the compliance of the specifications indicated in the document with the product parameters.
Step 5
If you buy gold as scrap and plan to use it to repair jewelry or make a new one, then the fineness is very important. Pay special attention to it: does it correspond to the stamp on the product that you are going to restore.
Step 6
For some time now, pawnshops began to hold auctions for the sale of jewelry. To participate in such an auction, select a product in advance and indicate the price for which you are ready to purchase it. The declared price can be either lower or higher than that indicated by the pawnshop. The winner of the auction will be the one with the highest bid.
Step 7
Please note that pawnshops often hold additional promotions and offer good discounts, during the period of which gold items can be bought even cheaper.
