Extra cash from those that actually pick up pawned items and sell items left for a profit over the loan. Did you know the 3 balls symbol on pawn shops are a code amongst pawnbrokers saying that only one in three will actually come back for a pawned item. I worked for one once years ago. I have bought all of my power tools and jewelry from pawn shops since.

They buy for cheap, and usually sell for no less than 4 times what they purchased the item for. They also loan money, and as with any loan, they charge interest.

They give you 10% of the value of the particular item, if you don't come back to get it, they sell it for what they think it is worth.
