Whether you have electronics cluttering up your garage that you simply want to get rid of, or you need to make some quick cash, pawning electronics can be lucrative. If you want the best possible price, keep reading to learn a few simple steps you can take, then contact South Bay Jewelry & Loan at (310) 371-4571 or stop by to find out how much we can give you.
Improve Their Appearance
We are not likely to turn down buying something just because it is dirty, but sometimes it is easy to take dirt and grime for something more serious, like scratches that will not buff away. Take the time to make your electronics look as good as they can so that we can value them at their best – not their worst. Taking just a few minutes to thoroughly clean a video game console, for example, could increase the offer by as much as 10%.
Make Sure You Include All Components
It is very important that you bring all the components of your used electronics. Using the video game console example again, you should bring everything involved, including the console, controllers, the original box, cords, accessories, and the manual. Can you still pawn it if you do not have all of this? Yes, but to get the best price, bring everything you have.
Wipe Your Data
If you are selling something like a computer that has your personal data or files on it, wipe it before you bring it to us. Make sure that you sign out of all accounts. Not only does this help you protect your data from being used in a negative way, but it means less work for the pawnshop – which can help you get the best possible price.
Make Sure Your Electronics Are Unlocked and Reset
If you are selling a cellphone, tablet, smart TV, game console, or another type of electronic that can be locked, then we recommend unlocking it and resetting it. If the device is unlocked and all features are disabled, then it is easier for the pawnshop to sell it – which means the potential for more money for you.
