FAQ

We follow the rules of the Virginia State Law, which says that you need a valid US State issued photo ID or military ID to pawn an item and get a loan. 

Pawn shops have been around for hundreds of years. The premise of the business is quite simple:

1. The items will be bought by the pawnshop.
2. The item will be pawned. This means that the pawnshop will take possession of the item and issue a loan to the customer. If the customer pays the loan back, with interest, within the period of time specified on the pawn ticket, the customer’s item will be returned.

A pawn loan is a quick, secure and easy way to obtain the cash you require! All you need is a valid state-issued ID and your personal property to use as collateral.

If your ticket is lost or misplaced, you must have your valid id that matches the name and information we have on file from when you did your pawn transaction. Take care to not lose your pawn ticket, as someone could use that and come in and pick the item up with that ticket.

We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Paypal as methods of payment. No business or personal checks are accepted.

An item that is in pawned at B&B Pawn can be picked up with the matching pawn slip or the ID of the person who did the original pawn. If the pawn slip is lost or destroyed, then the only person who can pick up the item is the person who put it in pawn with their matching ID.

We take computers, cameras, smartphones, tablets, tools, musical instruments, four wheelers, dirt bikes, sporting goods such as all types of firearms, snowblowers, generators, air compressors, collectibles, large screen TVs, stereo equipment, speakers, DJ equipment, and of course all kinds of jewelry and gold, especially unwanted broken and jewelry gold!

Evaluating merchandise, new and old is something that we do everyday. Our shop specialists use many tools and sources of information to determine the value of your item. The condition, brand, reliability, rarity, size, style, etc are all things that we look at. We look at eBay and other online vendors to help us determine a fair market value.

B&B Pawn buys all items and selling is a great way to get extra cash quick.  But if you don’t want to part with your item, a pawn loan is a great option, as you don’t have to give your item up and can come get it back after paying off the loan.
