At pawn shops,.....?

Question

is there a difference when you actually sell an item to them ( something you do not want back) and when you get a loan (something you do want back) as far a them giving you money?

Answer 1

My friend works at a pawn shop and she's told me that when you want a loan, they'll usually give you more than if you were to just sell it. Plus sob stories of why you need the money get you more as well. lol

Answer 2

An item you "pawn" for a loan won't be put up for sale until after the period of the loan has expired.

Answer 3

Yes. Interest on a loan.
