Your local pawn shop will buy and pawn used electronics like computers, current game systems and other lightly-used electronics depending on their estimated value, working condition and the demand of the item. It’s important to note that electronics don’t typically hold their value over a certain period of time. This will be the main consideration when a pawn shop is valuing your electronics.
Pawn Shops typically look for electronics that are less than 2 years old. Dealing with outdated technology puts the transaction at too great a risk. Electronics in good shape are easier to sell than ones with flaws, which means they can get a higher loan. Because around 20% of objects brought in for pawning are not redeemed and must be sold, it’s a greater factor for the pawn shop. Electronics depreciate quickly, so there’s a higher chance you won’t be able to acquire the expected value if you want to sell. Customers may be disappointed with electronics if the iPad they brought in as collateral a year ago does not match the initial price.
