Arizona

Though one of the last states added to the Union, Arizona has been one of the country’s fastest growing states in recent years, and with that development has come the speedy growth of pawn shops in every corner of the state. In major cities like Phoenix and Tucson, and in smaller cities like Kingman and Yuma, Arizona’s pawnshops offer Arizonans an opportunity to buy, sell and pawn anywhere in the state.

In college towns with an active music scene like Tempe, Flagstaff and Tucson, musicians can find guitars and amps, bass guitars and other instruments at great prices in local pawn shops. Of course, anyone seeking a romantic gift can find bargains on diamond rings, earrings, bracelets, watches and necklaces at discounts not available at the mall. In Arizona’s approximately 166 pawn shops, bargain seekers can also find a wide array of antiques and collectibles as well as videogames and laptop computers, televisions, cellphones, PDAs, small electronics, cameras, even bicycles, motorcycles, cars and trucks. If you don’t like the asking price, try haggling a little: pawn shop owners are often open to offers. Throw an Arizona lowball out there!

Of special interest to Arizonans in need of quick cash are the reasonable rates pawn shops charge for borrowing small amounts of money, especially compared to payday advance outfits or similar sources of fast cash. Alternatively, those with an item to sell can simply negotiate a cash price with a pawnshop, which in turn will sell the item to the public at a deep discount.

Around the Phoenix metro area in cities like Mesa, Glendale, Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona’s pawnshops meet the demand for no-hassle loans and great prices on used goods. If you love swap meets and yard sales, give your local pawn shop a try!
