Pawnshop Loan Quiz

Pawnshop loans give consumers short-term cash if they are willing to “sell” (or pawn) an item to a pawnbroker for possible repurchase by a specific date at a prearranged fixed price. The goods they pledge serve as security or collateral for a loan. If the consumer does not pay off the loan within the agreed upon time period, the goods are lost.
