Everyone has a drill or maybe a circular saw lying around the house for home repair or improvement projects. If you’re a handyman who likes to tinker on the weekends, you might have a much larger collection of tools. When times get tight and you need cash fast, you can turn to your collection of tools to get the funding you need.
Tools are among the most popular items to take to a pawn shop to get cash fast. However, when you pawn tools, there are a few things you need to know to have the best experience. Here are three things to consider when pawning your tools in Scottsdale:
Name Brands
When you shop for tools, you likely look for name brands to know that you are buying quality. People who shop for tools at a pawn shop do the same thing. Any time you buy any product, a name brand lets you know that the product has been around for a while and that it has a reputation for quality.
Therefore, if you have name brand tools, you have a commodity that’s in high demand. You can expect to get much more for name brands than you would for other types of tools. However, all is not lost if you don’t have name brands. You can still get a good price for your tools if they are of good quality in general.
Condition of Tools
More than any other factor affecting how much you will get when you pawn tools is their condition. If you have name brand tools but they are old and in disrepair, they won’t be worth anything. Meanwhile, if you have off brand tools that are in like-new condition, you could get a good price.
When evaluating the condition of your tools, you’ll need to take into account whether the tools work, whether they have any mechanical glitches, whether the paint is worn away, whether all the accessories are included, and whether there are any cracks, scratches or broken parts. Look at your tools the way a consumer would. If you would still want to buy them, they probably have good value.
Whether You Need Them
Of course, when you pawn tools, you won’t have access to them for the length of the pawn loan, which could be a couple of months depending on the terms you negotiate. If you work with your tools regularly, you might not be able to go without them for this long.
You could negotiate a shorter term for your pawn loan, but you’ll also have to pay a higher payment. If you only need money in the short term and know you are getting a big check or bonus payment that you can use to repay the pawn loan, this may not be an issue. You just need to balance your need for the tools against your need for the money, and evaluate how long you can be without the tools.
