Pawn vs sell New York: Which is the best option?

When you need cash quickly a pawn shop is a great place to go especially in New York. But how do you decide whether to pawn vs sell? 

Which is best - pawn vs sell?

Choosing between pawning or selling your items is very much a personal choice and largely down to your circumstances. There are two crucial things that you need to ask yourself:

1) Can you afford to repay a loan to get the item back within the loan term?

2) Are you willing to part with your item and potentially not get it back again?

If you can’t afford to repay the loan then you are probably better off selling items rather than pawning them, so you should select items that you no longer want.

If you don’t want to part with your item for longer than the loan term and then you should pawn the item. However, you should only pawn items that you are sure you can repay the loan on or are comfortable that you may not get the item back if you can’t repay the loan.
