How does a Pawn loan work?
Pawn transactions are transactions in which you “PAWN” a personal item in exchange for an amount of money for a specified period of time (30 days at Half Interest Pawn). Your item(s) serve as guarantee for the money borrowed. On your due date you have the option to pay your transaction in full and redeem your item(s); or you may choose to extend the transaction by simply paying the interest/fees due. You don not need to wait the full 30 days, you can get your item(s) back anytime.
Another option is to not pay the pawn transaction in which you will forfeit the items presented for pawn.

What is the difference between a pawn/loan and selling my item(s)?
Pawning an item means that you are using your item as collateral to secure a loan. After appraising the value of your item, Half Interest Pawn will work with you to determine the loan amount. You then have 30 days to pay the loan + Interest and you can get your item that you pawned as collateral back
Selling an item at Half Interest Pawn is simply that: selling an item to the pawnbroker, You no longer own it and we are now the new owners of your item(s)
