How much does a pawn shop give you for stuff you pawn?

Answer by  TMATM (499)

Pawn shops typically give you about one third of what they think they can sell the item for. There are books to give them values on some used items and jewelry, but most of them guess what they can sell it for based on experience from trying to sell similar items.

Depends on what you are pawning. A set of swords get around 15 bucks, even though you paid way more for them. Hand tools only bring in bucks if in sets. Air tools range from 1 to 15 bucks each. Cds and dvds 50 cents to 2 dollars.
