When you’re looking to make some quick cash or want to add a hard-to-find coin to your collection, visiting a pawn shop is the ideal solution. The helpful staff at the American Trading Company in Cincinnati, OH, can assist with any items you want to buy or sell, offering top dollar and friendly customer service.

If you've never visited your local pawn shop, there are three reasons why you should stop by soon.

1. Earn Extra Cash

After you've decluttered your home, selling items at a pawn shop puts a little extra money in your pocket. Even small items like jewelry can be valuable—and if you have an unusual or broken piece, a pawn shop is more likely than a traditional jewelry store to buy it from you. 

2. Get an Expert Appraisal

With over 50 years of experience, the staff at American Trading Company is well-versed in the value of rare coins, precious stones, and even scrap metal, so you will get a fair price for whatever item you’re selling. A reputable pawnbroker will negotiate a reasonable offer and you can agree or pass on their offer.

3. Find Quality Merchandise

Pawnbrokers make sure everything they buy is in good working order, so you know you aren’t buying something that is broken or in poor condition. Similarly, jewelry will be fine, high-end quality sold at a fraction of the retail cost. Since people always bring new items to sell, a pawn shop's inventory is constantly changing and filled with things you won't find anywhere else.

Whether you’re in need of extra money or are looking to buy a unique piece of jewelry, family-owned American Trading Company pawn shops can help. Call them at (513) 385-6789 at their Galbraith Road location or (513) 661-3633 at their Harrison Avenue location. You can also visit them online to learn more about what they buy, pawn, and sell, including rare coins and cash for gold.
