Do I need an appointment to visit Broff's Diamond and Loan?
No appointment is necessary.
However, we do recommend making an appointment if you have a large number of pieces.
How long does the average evaluation on watches, gold, and jewelry take?
Most consultations are completed within 15 minutes. However, more extensive evaluations for luxury watches or diamond engagement rings may take longer.
Still, we strive to balance thoroughness with serving our customers as quickly as possible.
Do you consider broken watches and jewelry pieces for collateral loans?
We do take jewelry in broken condition. Any damage to the pieces is noted on the ticket you would receive and is photographed as part of your file.
However, we do not accept damaged watches as we cannot guarantee or predict that a piece can be repaired if you forfeit the item. Therefore, you cannot use a damaged watch as collateral.
What is the biggest loan I can get on my watch, jewelry, diamonds, or gold?
The value of the loan we can offer is entirely based on the value of the items that you bring to us as collateral.
Nevertheless, our loan minimum is $200, but we can loan up to $100,000.
Do you accept credit cards or debit cards for loan payments?
No. We only accept cash, money orders, or cashier’s checks as payment for loans.
Can I mail in my loan payment?
Yes, you can mail your payment to us. First, please call the store at 412-566-1728 to verify your payment amount before sending anything. This ensures you don’t accidentally send a partial payment if your monthly maturity date falls between when you mail the payment and when we receive it.
Once you have the correct amount, please include your yellow pawn ticket and the money order. Make the money order out to: BDL Acquisitions or Broff’s. Upon receiving your payment, we will process it and mail a new yellow pawn ticket back to you.
Can I check my loan balance or pay online?
No. We don’t have our database of loans accessible online. To pay on a loan with us are to come to our store in person or mail in the payment.
Can someone else pick up my loan items for me once my debt is settled?
How much interest does Broff's Diamond and Loan charge on a loan?
By law in Pennsylvania, we can only charge 3% per month at a fixed rate. So, if you borrow $1000 against your jewelry, we charge you $30 per month that your pieces are with us.
Our rate is better than a bank loan or credit card and doesn’t require a credit check. In some cases, our fees are even lower than the cost of renting a safety deposit box.
How long are your loans for?
Our loans have a six-month term. However, you only pay for the months you use. For instance, if you bring your pieces to us for a loan and return after one month to pick them up, you would only owe one month of interest in addition to the loan principal.
Do I have to make a monthly payment?
No, there is no minimum monthly payment on our loans. While a monthly interest fee is added to your balance, there is no required payment. You only need to pay when you want to pick up your items or renew the loan for another six months.
You are welcome to pay whenever you like without penalty, but you are only required to pay at pickup or renewal.
