'Tis the season to be merry and make some extra cash before the holiday! Christmas is the perfect time to declutter and sell items that are no longer needed, and there are plenty of things that Christmas shoppers are on the lookout for.
Whether you're clearing out your closets or looking to make some profit from your unwanted items, knowing the top things to sell for Christmas can help you maximize your earnings. From popular toys and electronic gadgets to unique jewelry and vintage collectibles, there are endless opportunities to cash in on the holiday season.
How Pawn Shops Can Help you Make Quick Cash
Our Queen of Pawns pawn shops are a great place to sell your preloved items for cash, especially during the Christmas season. It’s a quick and easy way to get rid of items that you no longer need and receive cash in return. We are always looking for unique and valuable items, and during the holiday season, we’re especially interested in items that people are looking to buy as gifts.
Our friendly, bilingual staff members are experienced in appraising items, so you can trust that you will receive a fair price for your items based on their value and condition. Selling the same items online can be time-consuming and often result in lower prices due to competition and fees, so stop by our stores and make selling your unwanted items all the merrier!
Will selling or pawning make more money?
It depends on what your goal is! If you need fast cash, it depends on what your goal is! If you need fast cash and don’t want to keep ownership of your item, we suggest selling it to us. On the other hand, if you would like to keep ownership of your items, then you can use them as collateral and get a quick cash pawn.
When you pawn, you will have 60 days to redeem your items. To extend your pawn for 30 extra days, you just have to pay our flat-rate pawn fee. Queen of Pawns offers the industry's best pawn rates, and we’ve been doing so since 1995. Since pawn contracts are collateral-based, they don't require credit checks and you can walk out of your pawns without repercussions to your credit. Pawn or sell you get immediate cash.
