5 Things to Buy at an Arizona Pawn Shop

Shopping at a Phoenix, Arizona pawn store is one of the best ways to save money on the things you need. Whether you need something for your house or you are just looking to treat yourself with something nice, you can likely find it at your local pawn shop for a fraction of what you would pay retail – and you wouldn’t be sacrificing on the quality. In fact, for some items, the quality can be better because the item can be collectible or vintage.

Exactly what’s on offer depends on the pawn shop you visit. But here are the best 5 things you can typically buy at any Arizona paw store:

1. Video Game Systems

If you have kids, you probably feel like you are going to go broke trying to keep them in video games. Just as the novelty of one game system starts to wear off, a new game system is introduced for $300 or $400 a pop, and then you have to buy a bunch of games at about $60 a pop. Sometimes, the companies decide to compete and all put their must-have new gaming system out at the same time, and then your kids clamor to have all of them.

You don’t have to choose between putting food on the table or letting your kids think that you’re the evil parent who never wants them to be happy. You can still feel like you are giving your kids the finer things in life and save money by buying the video game system from the local pawn shop. In most cases, you can even get the system in the original box and with all the original accessories. Your kids don’t have to know you bought it – gasp! – used, and you get to look like the hero while saving a lot of money.

2. Musical Instruments

Kids basically drain money faster than you can make it. One of the most expensive things they will do in their education is learn how to play a musical instrument. Most kids have to take band at one point or another, and some actually enjoy it and decide to play for a few more years. At a minimum, you’ll have to buy that first instrument. But if your kid decides that music is his jam, you may need to buy many more upgrades over the years, as well as all the accoutrement, such as extra bows, mouth pieces, music stands, and so on.

Shop at a pawn store to save a bundle on all types of musical instruments. You’ll be especially grateful if your kid is the type who changes obsessions with the wind, deciding this week that he really loves saxophone and then next week deciding he can’t live without the guitar.

3. Jewelry

Treat your lady to fine jewelry and you’ll be living on brownie points for life. Gift her with diamonds or gold for no particular reason at all and you’ll take on mythic status. You don’t have to roll like a baller to have it like that. You can find beautiful gold, silver, and diamond jewelry at a pawn store for much less than what you would pay at a fancy jewelry store.

The great thing about shopping for diamonds and gold jewelry at a pawn shop is that you don’t have to worry about the quality. Diamonds, gold, and other precious metals and stones do not lose their value. In fact, they only appreciate. They are timeless in their quality. Gold and silver jewelry is also stamped to verify its value.
