What makes Larsen's different from a traveling buyer?
Larsen's is a local Main Street business, not a temporary buyer. We explain evaluations clearly, test or weigh in front of you when needed, and let you accept, decline, ask questions, or take your items home.

Pawning & Item Evaluations
For the full process, visit Pawn Loans. For item examples, see What We Pawn.
How does pawning an item work?
You bring in an item as collateral, we evaluate it, and we make a cash offer based on the item. If you accept, we hold the item while you repay according to the ticket terms. When the amount due is paid, you get your item back.
What is the difference between pawning and selling?
Pawning means you use an item as collateral and plan to get it back. Selling is an outright sale where you receive payment and the item becomes ours to resell.
What kinds of items can I bring in for evaluation?
Common items include gold and silver jewelry, watches, tools, power tools, select electronics, musical instruments, coins, silver bullion, non-firearm sporting goods, fishing gear, optics, and some collectibles.
Do you check credit?
No. Pawn loans are collateral-based, so the amount offered is based on the item, not your credit score.
How long do I have to repay?
Terms are explained when your ticket is written. For questions about an existing ticket, call (605) 845-3759 or stop in during business hours.
Can I get a ballpark answer by text before coming in?
Often, yes. Text clear photos and a short description for a quick first look. Final offers are made in-store after hands-on inspection.
Can I extend or renew an existing ticket?
In many cases, yes. Options depend on the specific ticket and item. Please call or stop in to discuss your situation.
What do I need to bring?
Bring valid government-issued photo ID and the item you want evaluated. Original packaging, accessories, chargers, cases, receipts, or documentation can help on some items.
Where can I find pawn shop statistics?
For national pawn shop data, see our 2026 pawn shop statistics guide.

How do you determine what my gold is worth?
We confirm purity, weigh the item, and calculate an offer based on metal content, condition, item type, and current market pricing. We explain the process before you decide.
