Howard Pawn & Gold
A clearer, friendlier pawn experience.
Whether you need a short-term pawn loan, want to sell an item or are searching for your next piece of jewelry, start with a real conversation. We evaluate items in store and explain your options before you decide.
What we do
One stop. More ways to move forward.
Items are evaluated individually. Condition, age, ownership and current demand can affect whether an item is accepted.
Buy & sell valuables
Bring in items you fully own. Our team will assess condition, authenticity and resale demand before making an offer.

We evaluate precious-metal jewelry, coins and bars using current market information and in-store testing.

Layaway
Ask in store about putting an eligible purchase on layaway and the terms that apply.
Simple by design
