Selling
A simple, one-time transaction where we purchase your item outright for immediate payment.

Visit us in the Clark Building, Downtown Pittsburgh, for in-person appraisals and same-day payment. Perfect for those who prefer face-to-face evaluations.
Online / Mail-In
Start your transaction from anywhere in the United States using our secure, insured shipping service. Fast quotes, prepaid shipping labels, and expert evaluations — without leaving home.
Pawn In Store Process
Visit us at the historic Clark Building in Downtown Pittsburgh.
Bring the item you’d like to loan against, along with any valuations or certificates, to help our experts provide an accurate appraisal.
Once in the store, our experts will do a thorough valuation, taking all variables into account to determine the market value of your item.
Based on this market value, we calculate the best possible quotation for your loan amount.
We will give you an obligation-free loan quotation based on the value of your item.
You decide if you’d like to proceed.
Should you accept the quote in writing, you will receive immediate payment via cash, check, or wire transfer.
Your valuables remain safely secured in our insured vault for the duration of your loan — protected and untouched.
Repay the loan, with interest, as per the agreed terms — or earlier if you choose — to reclaim your item in full.
