Some people still haven’t caught on. They remain trapped in the deconstructive programming that only brand new or department store purchases hold value. An equally punitive way of thinking is that pawn shops are seedy, dingy establishments of unethical business transactions. Queen of PAWNS is not the first but is in good company of classy pawn shops that are changing the paradigm of pawn. All kinds of people from all walks of life use and benefit from our services as a pawn shop. At our stores we see people as people - some have very modest earnings or lifestyles and others have financial wealth with extravagant tastes. Bottom line is, pawning is smart money, no matter the size of your wallet.

How the Rich Stay Rich

Most of us wish we had more money. Often, it’s not about making more money but rather spending what money we have more wisely. Look at how many broke lottery winners we have in this country. Jennifer Derrick, financial advisor from SavingAdvice.com writes in her entry Even the Wealthy Need a Budget, “Many people think that becoming wealthy they no longer have to budget. Those who want to remain wealthy and grow even more wealth continue to budget. Money is best managed when every dollar has a purpose. This is true whether you are just getting by or your last name is Trump.” Ask any accountant, the simplest way to maintain wealth is to spend less money.

We All Need “Stuff”

From cell phones to cars to computers, tools, jewelry, entertainment and sporting equipment - we live in a culture where we need “stuff.” At Queen of PAWNS we believe in never having to pay full retail price for the stuff you need and want. When you purchase from pawn, it is far more affordable - so you can get the stuff you need and still have room in your budget to get what you want. And truth is, no one needs a Rolex watch, what a person is paying for when they purchase a Rolex is status. Be the smart one who purchases that kind of status for thousands of dollars less than the poor chump who payed full price.

How Queen of PAWNS Is Changing the Paradigm

Our stores are beautiful, our staff is friendly and well informed and our merchandise is top quality. We think of pawn loans and pawn sales as smart ways to handle personal finances - for people of all tax brackets. Come on by and see what we mean when we say, “Be Smart, Buy Second Hand,” and catch on to the new paradigm of pawn.
