If you need quick cash or have an attic filled with valuables you no longer use, consider taking some belongings to a local pawn shop. These stores resell high-quality items, from lawn equipment and jewelry to electronics, and are regulated by state and federal laws. Here are a few common items guaranteed to give you a high exchange rate at any decent pawn broker.

3 Valuable Items to Sell to a Pawn Shop

1. Jewelry

The price of gold was $606 per ounce in 2006, and in 2018 it reached $1,270 per ounce. Other precious metals have not increased so rapidly, but continue to rise as well. Precious stones also continue to grow in value, especially diamonds. Almost four billion dollars were spent on jewelry for Valentine’s Day this year, so pawn shops purchase these items as an investment. In fact, some of these items will continue to increase in value even if they don’t sell.

2. High-Quality Tools

The average worker cannot afford to purchase every tool from the store brand new. This is particularly hard for beginning mechanics, carpenters, and other contractors who must supply their own tools. As such, workers commonly look to pawn shops for high-quality equipment at a fair price.

3. Musical Instruments

Like blue-collar workers, musicians can face similar problems. Music programs at school are abundant, but they seldom have the instruments to loan out. Pawn shops are an excellent resource for instruments, amplifiers, and keyboards.
