FAQs

1.What type of Jewelry do you take for loans and buys?

We take gold, silver, and platinum jewelry, especially fine designer jewelry. We also take gold, silver, and platinum scrap, as well as estate and vintage costume jewelry.

2. What type of coins/bullion do you take?

We take gold, silver, and platinum coins and bullion. We do not take any pennies unless they are very rare and in excellent condition. Rare pennies are case by case.

3. Are your designer handbags authentic?

Yes, all of our handbags are authentic. We verify all of our handbags through a trusted organization, and guarantee they are genuine designer brands.

4. What else do you take besides jewelry and bullion?

For our non-jewelry and bullion related items, we take musical instruments, high-end designer watches, and designer handbags. We do not take any firearms, glassware, antique radios, tools, car parts, electronics, DVD’s or video games. Framed paintings, framed prints, designer clothing (brand new), swords, knives, antique firearms, digital cameras and replica swords are case-by case, and depend on the condition/ brand of these items, but you can always bring them in and we would be happy to take a look for you.

5. What is your layaway policy?

We do offer layaways. If you choose to put an item on layaway, we require a 10% minimum down payment. As long as there is some sort of payment each month, it can be as much or as little as you wish, we will hold your item for 12 months. If monthly payments are not received and 90 days have passed since the last payment has been received, the layaway is subject to cancellation with some and/or all payments forfeited. If you choose to cancel a layaway, it must be within 14 days of the original start date. Refunds will be returned in the same form as originally paid, or trade-in will be returned. If a layaway is canceled after 14 days, a 10% restocking fee will occur on the purchase sale price. No cash refunds after the 14 days have passed, in-store credit will be issued and can be used toward a new purchase, new layaway of equal or greater value, or existing layaway. You will have 1 year to use this store credit otherwise, it is expired and the credit is invalid.

6. What is a loan/pawn and how does it work?

A pawn is a cash loan you can receive in exchange for collateral (that is, your belongings). It is a good way to borrow cash quickly, and you don’t need to give us a credit score. As long as you have something of value that we can take, we can give you a loan. You must be at least 18 years old and have a valid ID to receive a cash loan. Read the first 2 FAQ questions above to learn what we can take for cash loans. All our loan customer’s items are locked away in a safe and secure area.

To redeem your loan, you have to pay back the money you owe plus interest. Our interest rates and loan periods are regulated by the State of Washington. Here in our shop, our loans are 90 days (3 months) long. If 90 days have passed and the loan has not been redeemed, we have the right to pull the items and take them out to the floor for sale. Loan customers can renew their loans before the end of the 90-day period, and have their loan extended for another 90 days. NOTE: Different states have different regulations for pawn brokers and money lending businesses. If you are outside the State of Washington, check your state’s pawn and money lending policies online or with your local pawn shop before getting a cash loan.
