Maine

The Pine Tree State of Maine joined the Union with the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and is known for its rugged beauty, scenic rocky coastline and, of course, Maine lobster. Maine is also home to 37 pawn shops, located throughout the state in cities like Auburn, Augusta, Bangor, Bath, Biddeford, Brewer, Brunswick, Cumberland, Falmouth, Farmington, Gorham, Kennebunk, Kittery, Lewiston, Orono, Portland, Presque Isle, Saco, Sanford, Scarborough, South Portland, Standish, Waterville, Wells, Westbrook, Windham, Winslow, Yarmouth and York.

If you are in Maine and find yourself short of cash, especially as a result of an unexpected expense like a car repair, one of Maine’s pawn shops may be able to get you over the hump. Pawn shops in Maine and elsewhere make collateral loans that require no credit checks or applications. You can get cash the same day. And pawn shops in Maine are regulated by the state, so the cost of borrowing is generally lower than it is at payday advance shops and similar businesses.

Pawn shops will loan you money in exchange for collateral like gold jewelry (like rings, bracelets, necklaces, anklets and earrings), watches, cameras, laptop computers, televisions, cellphones and smartphones, car audio, bicycles, musical instruments, antiques and other collectibles and MP3 players. Sometimes pawn shops in Maine even deal in snowmobiles, ATVs, motorcycles, cars and trucks.

In addition, if you’d prefer to simply sell your item for cash, pawn shops in Maine and most places will offer you a cash price.

For the bargain shopper, pawn shops in Maine can be a real eye-opener. Like swap meets, garage sales and yard sales, pawn shops offer great deals on used items and occasionally even have a once-in-a-lifetime “pawn shop treasure” available for sale. Even if you don’t get that lucky, you can still find discounts on jewelry, gems, necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings, laptop computers, guitars, bass guitars and amps, antiques, collectibles, TVs, mountain bikes, car stereos, iPods, iPhones, cameras and watches. Plus, pawn brokers in Maine are usually willing to haggle over price. Bargain well and get a sweet deal!
