A pawn shop is more than just a gold buyer, because at a pawn shop you have the option of getting a cash loan for your gold.  Both pawning and selling your gold jewelry can provide a great solution when you’re in a pinch and need some money right away, but there’s a difference between them.  Normally, unless you have a loan history, you'll get more cash if you sell your gold, as opposed to getting a cash loan. When you sell your gold, you receive money in exchange for your item, which will then be legally owned by our store.  On the other hand, when you get a pawn loan for your gold at our store, you still own it.  However, you have a limited amount of time to repay the loan, or to make an extension payment within the agreed timeframe, so that you can redeem your pawned item.  You can also extend the due date with a payment, and you can pawn your gold more than once if you encounter financial problems later.
