Life can be unexpected. Even though most of us would like to have some money set aside for a rainy day, life circumstances sometimes may that difficult. Job losses, health problems and vehicle problems happen to hard working people every day. Where do you turn when you need some extra cash?

While some people are able to go to a bank for a loan or ask a family member or friend to borrow money, not everyone has that option. Instead of turning to a bank, family member or friend, why not consider borrowing money from a pawn shop? Pawn shops are a great alternative to a bank loan and certainly beat borrowing money from a loved one or friend.

The traditional sign of a pawn shop

Times are tough. When you are facing an economic hardship, you can bring in your valuables to a pawn shop and get a pawn loan. Pawning your valuable items will allow you to free up some cash without having to permanently part with them. However, some people find that after pawning their items, they no longer need them. In this case, they simply allow their pawn loan to expire without reclaiming their items.

In these difficult economic times, many people are worried that they will not be able to pay off their pawn loan in time. Because we understand the challenges people often face, we offer extensions on our pawn loans at Hat City Pawn.

We will work with you so you won’t have to worry about not being able to reclaim your valuable items. Extensions have fair terms and allow people to reclaim items that may hold sentimental value like wedding rings or jewelry that was received as a gift.

Even though you may have never considered borrowing money from a pawn shop in the past, it is worth stopping by your local pawn shops. People are often surprised at the professionalism and friendliness of their local pawn brokers. Many find that their pawn shops are their “go to” places for pawn loans, shopping and selling unwanted items.

You never know what you’ll find at a pawn shop, which makes it exciting. Whether you need some cash to get you through to your next paycheck or simply want to free up some cash by selling a few items, pawn shops are always a good option.
