A pawn loan is a collateral-based short-term loan. You bring an item, they assess its used market value, and lend you a percentage of that amount. The standard term is 90 days with 10% interest added every 30 days.

Example: Pawn a gold ring for $100. Pay within 30 days = $110. Pay between 30-60 days = $120. Pay between 60-90 days = $130.

If the 90-day deadline approaches, paying 10% of your outstanding balance extends the loan another 30 days. Their recommendation: visit monthly and pay 10% toward principal. This keeps interest from stacking up and you never risk losing your item.

If you're struggling with the principle amount, you can pay off the loan and immediately re-pawn the same item for a lower amount, resetting your interest calculations with a smaller balance.

If you prefer to sell rather than pawn, they make purchase offers on items they want in inventory.

Yes, they accept firearms for pawn. You must be at least 18 for long guns and 21+ for handguns. When you pick up a firearm, all ATF rules apply.

Less than 1/5 of 1% of items brought in are reported stolen. On the rare occasion this happens, they work directly with local law enforcement to return merchandise to victims while following Kansas pawn laws.

Inventory updates weekly. If they don't have what you're looking for one week, they may have it the next. Customers from across the country visit when in town. Follow them on Facebook for daily deals and new stock announcements.
