Getting a pawn loan

October 17, 2008 · Filed Under Online PawnBroker, online pawn shop, pawn loans · Comment 

Getting a pawn loan online is fast, easy and discreet.  No credit checks and no interviews with the bank manager are involved in negotiating a fair pawn loan, and it is a lot safer and cheaper than dealing with a payday loan company or short term unsecured UK loan provider.

The reason why getting an secured loan with an online pawnbroker is so easy is because you send valuables, such as jewellery, gold or watches, to the pawn broker in order to secure the loan.  As the loan company has security for their loan, their risks are reduced, they can afford to reduce their interest rates, and this reduces the overall cost to you of  the pawn loan.  There are many other benefits of pawn loan to consider.  Even if you have a bad credit rating, you are still guaranteed to get a pawn loan, as long as the valuables you pledge cover the loan company’s risks.

And if you have a good credit rating, a pawn loan is a no-hassle way of easing short-term cash flow problems without any risk to your credit rating or overdraft - even if you ultimately fail to pay off the secured loan.  Borro.com is the world’s first online pawn shop, providing fair pawn loans in London, Oxford, Essex, England and throughout the UK.

Negotiating an online pawn shop is much more convenient and discreet than dealing with other UK pawnbrokers  The whole pawn loan process is managed end-to-end from the comfort of your computer at home, and online pawn loan companies like Borro.com provide a much more competitive valuation service and pawn loan to value ratios than the average high street pawn loan provider.

Pawnshops in London

October 16, 2008 · Filed Under UK Pawnbroker, online pawn shop · Comment 

None of the pawnshops in London is an online pawnshop.  The world’s first, and - at the time of writing this article - only online pawnshop is Borro.com, and this online pawnshop operates out of Oxford, not London.

The idea of an online pawnshop would be incomprehensible to those who started the first pawnbrokers in London but with the launch of Borro.com an online pawnshop is available everywhere in the UK - and not just in London.

London pawnshops invariably display the famous three golden balls - reflecting their origins, which trace back hundreds of years to the Lombards and Medicis of Italy.  However, when Borro.com decided to launch its online pawnshop in July 2008, it avoided the traditional pawnbroker’s mark in order to signal a new image - free from the outdated and unfair 19th Century associations from which high-street London pawnshops often suffer.

So, what does an online pawnshop offer that a traditional London high-street pawnshop cannot?  An online pawnshop is fast, easy and discreet, and is accessible anywhere a borrower has access to a computer.  By comparison, there are only around 500 pawnshops on high streets in the UK, and less than a quarter of those are based in London.  None of these pawnshops is an online pawnshop.

If you want to experience a new way to lend, try an online pawnshop.  An online pawnshop reaches the places that high-street shops can’t reach, and this has absolutely nothing to do with Heineken.  Anywhere your computer goes, your online pawnshop goes with you, whether you are looking for an online pawnshop in London - or whether you are trying to find an online pawnshop service anywhere else in the UK.

How do pawn shops work?

October 14, 2008 · Filed Under pawnshop · Comment 

Pawnshops are providing an increasingly valuable service in these days of the credit crunch, so, naturally, more and more people want to know exactly how pawn shops work.

Pawnshops provide a useful alternative when it comes to borrowing money.  Borrowers leave something valuable at pawn shops in order to get loans, and are given receipts in return.  Customers can pay back their loans to pawnshops at any time, but usually the pawn shops ask customers to pay back loans within 6 months.

Pawnshops charge interest on the loans, and this might be more expensive than banks or building societies, but customers who don’t have these options usually find pawn shops are much less expensive than payday loan companies or short-term unsecured loan providers.  When customers pay back what they owe to pawnshops, their items are returned to them.

Pawn shops are entitled to sell items left by customers who can’t pay what they owe.  Sometimes, pawnshops agree to extend the loan period to those who can’t settle their loans, but if pawn shops sell items after the 6 months are up, the customers continue to own their items, and can negotiate to get them back right up until the time when the pawnshops actually make the sales.

If pawn shops sell items for more than the amount owed, customers are entitled to receive the balance. If pawnshops sell items for less than the amount owed, customers continue to be liable for the shortfall.

Amongst all the pawn shops in the world, Borro.com is the world’s first on-line pawn shop providing a truly end-to-end service throughout the UK.

Jewellery pawn shops

October 13, 2008 · Filed Under jewellery pawn shops, pawn shops, pawnshop · Comment 

When are jewellery shops, pawn shops?

When they’re jewellery pawn shops! Actually, pawn shops are invariably jewellery pawn shops.  Jewellery is the most common item used to secure a loan in a pawn shop.  However, jewellery pawn shops often take other valuables as pledges too.  So, if you want to raise a loan on an expensive watch, a piece of art, an antique or some memorabilia, visiting jewellery pawn shops could be very worthwhile.

Borro.com is the first and leader of jewellery pawn shops on-line

We loan against art, antiques, watches and memorabilia.  Valuers in jewellery pawn shops like Borro.com are well used to dealing with other valuables as well as jewellery, and if you apply for an on-line for your jewellery loan with Borro.com, you will get a fast, easy and discreet service - end-to-end - on your computer.

On-line jewellery pawn shops like Borro.com allow a borrower to get a provisional valuation for their jewellery, gold and watches.  Then, the on-line jewellery pawn shops arrange for shipments of jewellery from the borrowers to the jewellery pawn shops, where loan offers are confirmed on receipt.  As pawn loans are accepted, on-line jewellery pawn shops wire money directly into borrower’s bank accounts, and later, loans are paid back to the jewellery pawn shops in the same way.  When loans are paid off, on-line jewellery pawn shops send the jewellery, gold or watches back to the borrowers.

Pawn Shops in Vogue

Pawn shops in the UK and the US are now being patronised by the chic

As even they struggle to raise a loan from baled out banks and mortgage lenders.  One chain of pawn shops in the UK holds a huge art collection pawned by a well-to-do patron, while a chain of pawn shops in the US recently lent $17,000 on a historic Philadelphia fire hat worth around $50,000.  The same chain of pawn shops in the US holds 30 guitars, worth $170,000, from a Grammy Award-winning Philadelphia musician who is over-extended on property.

A respected economics expert observed “Upper-income people are in pawn shops in force nowadays, needing money right away to meet payments.  Even middle and upper income people are visiting pawn shops in their search for a loan.  They’ve borrowed so much, their credit-card bills are high, and their house values are going down.  Pawn shops in the UK and the US are providing highly appropriate solutions to such people.”

A UK pawnbroker said, “The upper middle class is visiting pawn shops in their area, because they are feeling the crunch like never before.  They’re bringing diamonds and gold to pawn shops in increasing numbers to pay for margin calls on stocks.  These people are used to paying their bills, no problem. Now it’s a whole new world.  So maybe they won’t go on holiday this summer, and they’ll pawn jewellery to fix the roof.  Without the service provided by the pawn shops in their area, they would have few options.”

UK Pawn loans online

October 11, 2008 · Filed Under Online PawnBroker, online pawn shop, pawnbrokers, pawnshop · Comment 

As we continue to suffer from the credit crunch, increasing inflation and falling house prices, more and more of us are turning to UK pawn shops.

There are over 500 UK pawn shops, and recently Borro.com became the first ever UK pawn broker to launch a fully on-line pawnbroking service to those seeking a reliable UK pawn loan.  UK pawn interest rates may be more expensive than banks or building societies, but it is much easier to raise a loan from a UK pawn broker. A UK pawn loan will cost you a lot less than an equivalent loan from a payday loan company or an on-line short term unsecured loan provider.  Because a UK pawn loan is secured by valuables lodged with the pawnbroker, UK pawn brokers don’t need to run credit checks, and UK pawn brokers don’t report defaulters, even if the loan is not paid off.

Dealing with a UK pawn broker on-line, like Borro.com, is fast, easy and discreet.  The typical UK pawn broker on the high street may not be conveniently located near everyone, and the storefront image of some UK pawn brokers may not inspire a great deal of confidence.  Also, the valuation processes of many high street UK pawn brokers may be much more simplistic than Borro.com, who provide very competitive loan to value ratios.

Until now, the traditional image of UK pawn brokers has been stuck in the 19th century.  Now, on-line UK pawn broker - Borro.com - is offering a new way to lend.  Check out the world’s first on-line pawn broker, the leading on-line UK pawn broker, Borro.com.

Short term loans no credit - a real solution

October 10, 2008 · Filed Under Online PawnBroker, UK Pawnbroker, no credit check loans, pawnbrokers · Comment 

Short term loans no credit is a rather dysfunctional phrase, but short term loans no credit is exactly what people with bad credit tend to Google when they are in need of a short term loan with no credit checking involved.  Borro.com online pawnbrokers advances no credit check loans for people with bad credit or no credit at all.

Short term loans no credit solutions with no risk involved

The short term loan process is simple and does not involve checking customer credit ratings. Borro’s short term loans with no credit are an ideal, risk-free way to raise money.  Even if you fail to settle a short term no credit check loan, you will never be reported to any credit rating agency. This means you will not risk turning a good credit rating into a bad one, or a bad credit rating into a worse one, and you will keep your debts under control.

Why Borro’s Short term loans with no credit checks are better than other UK loans

Although some short term, loan companies claim to provide no credit check loans, it is not always the case. Most short term, small cash UK loan companies cannot afford to risk losing money on unpaid loans and will most likely sell the outstanding debt to a collection agency and report you to credit agencies.

Borro’s low rate loans are also cheaper than other UK loan companies and lower than most UK pawnbrokers.

Selling on eBay to cover debt?

October 9, 2008 · Filed Under auction sites, eBay auctions, how to make money online · Comment 

You may be wondering how to make money on eBay, but imagine if the best selling eBay items that are tucked away in your closet can be used over and over again to raise £100 to £100,000 using Borro.com, the UK’s leading online pawnbroker.

People that sell items on eBay UK to cover debt can now enjoy the best of both worlds by pledging jewellery or other valuables as security for a loan from the UK’s only online pawnbroker and get the items back once they have repaid the loan.

Selling on eBay or other auction sites is an ideal way to make money for people that do not want to keep the items but if you want to hang on to those cherished valuables, an alternative to eBay selling would be lodging them with Borro.com, the worlds first and only, end-to-end, online UK pawn shop.

Just imagine if Ebay.com offered people the opportunity to borrow from £100 to £100,000, between one and six months secured against a best selling eBay item. EBay com would have nothing to lose as the loan would be secured by top selling goods.

Thinking of what to sell on eBay to make money?

Auction sites are not necessarily the quickest solution to a short term cash flow problem.  Members that want to make money on eBay, must be willing to spend money. To sell an item on eBay, members need to pay for every uploaded picture, there are eBay fees for selling, selling limits, not to mention the eBay registration process, plus many of the things for sell on eBay require approval. Some eBay shoppers will only buy top selling items from eBay power sellers which means, your best selling item can be left on the shelf until you have reached the eBay power seller status.

Here is a better alternative to auctioning off valuables, if you are looking for a fast way to make money

Instead of selling eBay com to make money, consider using Borro.com.  Borro’s loan interest rates are lower than local pawn shops or UK pawnbrokers, certainly better and for longer than common payday loans because there is no bad credit rating risk since Borro’s innovative pawn broking service does not require credit checks.

Check out eBay listings to see if you’ve got a best selling item to auction then check out Borro.com to see how much you can borrow by pledging the same item instead of saying goodbye to it on auction.
