Thinking about pawning or selling some items for quick cash? Whether it’s an old gold necklace, a gently used power drill, or a guitar that’s been collecting dust, a little preparation can go a long way in helping you get the best offer. At KK’s Pawn in Middle Tennessee, we make the process simple and stress-free—but if you want to walk in feeling confident, here’s how to get your items ready.
1. Jewelry & Gold: A Little Shine Helps
While cleaning your gold or jewelry isn’t required, giving it a quick polish with a soft cloth can help it sparkle and show off its value. If you have original packaging or a certificate of authenticity for items like gold chains, diamond rings, or bullion, bring it along—it can speed up the appraisal process and potentially increase your offer.
Not sure if your gold is real? No worries. Our team offers free testing and appraisals. Find a location near you and let us take a look!
2. Electronics: Wipe Them Down and Bring the Accessories
Laptops, tablets, game consoles, cameras—if it plugs in or powers on, we’ll probably take a look. Make sure your devices are charged and reset to factory settings to protect your privacy. Wipe down the screens and remove any stickers or dust.
Don’t forget to bring chargers, remotes, or cords. Bundled items tend to get better offers!
3. Tools: Keep It Clean and Functional
We buy a wide range of hand tools, power tools, and lawn equipment. Make sure everything powers on, is free of rust or excessive grime, and comes with the battery or charger if applicable. While they don’t need to look brand new, tools that are well cared for will always fetch a better price.
4. Musical Instruments: Tune It Up
We’re proud to serve musicians throughout Tennessee, and we buy and sell all kinds of instruments—from guitars and amps to keyboards and brass. Before bringing in your instrument, give it a gentle wipe-down and make sure it’s in playable condition. If you have cases, straps, or accessories, bring those too—they add value.
