When people think of pawn stores, they usually think of a place to get a quick loan in exchange for certain personal items that are used as collateral, but pawn stores also sell many things. Most of these items are being sold because a borrower defaulted on their loan. The following are a few of the items for sale that are often the best buys at a pawn store. 

Tools for home repair and improvement
For the do-it-yourself home improvement type, a pawn store can be heaven. The type of inventory you will find includes everything you will ever need for any home project. The tools you need for many of these projects can be expensive. Tools such as circular saws, routers, drills, socket sets, tool boxes or anything else you need to build or repair can add up to a price that makes the project too expensive. This is true because many of these tools will only be used occasionally. With the prices found in pawn stores, you will be able to build up a large collection of tools to tackle any project you are considering. 

Rings, bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry
Pawn shops are known for their selection of jewelry, especially rings. If you are looking for a ring, you will likely save a substantial amount of money buying from a pawn store. This is true because often a pawn store is attempting to get back the money they lent, but was not repaid. If you find a ring that you want, you can have it resized at a jeweler for a reasonable cost and still realize savings. The jewelry inventory of a pawn store is always changing, so to find something you really like, you will likely need to spend a few weeks shopping. However, this is dependent upon the number of pawn stores in your area. 

Bicycles for both children and adults
Bicycles can be expensive when purchased brand new, but many of the bikes found in pawn stores will be discounted, even for a bike in like new condition. They are usually in good condition, because they were used as collateral for a loan. This is true for many times found in a pawn store. In addition, they are often on sale, because they take up valuable space in the pawn shop retail shop area. 

Shopping at pawn stores is just one of many ways to help stretch your money and live better. Other ideas can be found if you click here.
