Pawning has been a reliable means to meet our immediate need for cash.
A friend asked me for advice when they need additional money for paying tuition fees and other needs for their children . . . . bank loan or "sanglaan ?"
I remember our times of working hard for our family, our children during their elementary and high school, there were many times we need to solve financial needs to pay the tuition fees. (Thankful to our relatives who helped, but not that we always asked them.) Sometimes, we thought of bank loans but we did not try.
Our top options was to pawn our jewelry and gadgets. We brought our wedding rings, because those were gold that can be accepted at the pawnshops. Times also we pawned our cellphones.
We did asked to appraise our rings to two or three pawnshops first, different pawnshops have different appraisal values. We chose to pawn to the one with higher appraisal.
As those long story end, we were so thankful for those pawnshops that helped us to make our children graduated from elementary and high school.
Pawning is the easiest way than securing a bank loan. Pawning transaction is fast and easy. They will appraise the item and sealed it in a pouch, and you will sign it , for security and proves that it's yours. You will also sign the contract, you'll have a copy. Then you'll take home the money you need. The transaction will only take less than ten minutes.
