Colorado

Granted statehood in 1876, Colorado is known as the Centennial State and is home to over 200 pawn shops (252 approximately). From the large metropolis that comprises Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Arvada, Englewood and Boulder, down the I-25 to Colorado Springs, home of the Air Force Academy, from Fort Collins to Pueblo to the ski resorts of Vail and Aspen, pawn shops have long been part of the economic landscape of Colorado.

Famous for skiing and other outdoor adventuring, Colorado’s pawnshops are a good source for used skis, sporting equipment and fishing gear as well as hiking, backpacking and camping gear. Like pawn shops in most places, Colorado’s pawn businesses are also well stocked with televisions, computers, electronics, toys and games, videogame systems, musical instruments, cell phones, PDAs, laptops, DVD players and antiques. Not to mention a wide array of gold jewelry, rings, earrings, bracelets, pins and necklaces—all at discount prices.

Supervised by the state, Colorado’s pawn shops are also a valuable resource for those in need of small amounts of quick cash. Pawn shops in Colorado make collateral loans and buy items outright for cash. Temporarily cash-poor customers can bring in jewelry like a gold ring, necklace or bracelet, a guitar or amp, a TV or computer and either sell it for cash or take out a loan using the item as collateral. No applications or credit checks are required. To get the item back, the customer simply pays back the loan with a relatively small amount of interest. Pawn shops are frequently a superior choice for fast money, charging lower interest rates than payday advance outfits and similar businesses.

For bargain shoppers looking for a “pawn shop treasure” and must-sellers looking for cash to meet an urgent need, Colorado’s pawn shops offer an important option.
