While not all pawn shops take power tools, a handful of them do. This means that people looking to either buy lightly used tools, sell their tools, or use their tools as collateral for a loan can. Here at Paradise Pawn in NYC, we have two shops in the Bronx that work with power tools. People can buy, sell, and pawn their tools with us. Of course, we often get a lot of questions, from what we buy exactly to how much people can get when they sell or pawn. We will aim to answer a handful of the most frequently asked questions in this guide, but if you have a very specific question, feel free to call us or visit one of our shops in person.
Where Can You Pawn Power Tools in NYC
Paradise Pawn in the Bronx has two locations that work with power tools. We work with major brands and take tools that are in great condition. We buy impact drills, floor sanders, and equipment frequently used by local contractors here in the city. Aside from us, there are a handful of pawn shops throughout the boroughs that work with power tools. But, in general, not all pawn shops take power tools, so it is always recommended to call ahead. Even if a pawn shop says that they take tools on their website or in social media, it can still be beneficial to call first to double-check if they will take your particular tool.
What Kinds of Tools Can You Buy & Sell at A Pawn Shop?
Every pawn shop’s inventory is going to be unique to them. Pawn shops generally only work with items they feel comfortable appraising and reselling. That said, it is common that pawn shops that work with power tools will work with the most recognizable brands and will buy and sell tools that are frequently used by local contractors. Again, a pawn shop is only going to buy something they feel they can easily sell. So they will only buy tools that are in working condition and have clear value.
How Much Can You Make Selling/Pawning Power Tools?
When you sell used tools, you are going to get a percentage of the potential resale value of the tool. A pawn shop will appraise the item based on its condition, age, and local demand. Based on that appraisal, they will offer you cash at a percentage of its value, so that they can make a profit selling it to a new owner down the road. In the case of loans, pawn shops will appraise the item and offer a loan for less than what they would have bought it for. In the case of loans, pawn shops don’t expect to sell the item, but rather return the item once the loan and the interest are paid off.
