Happy Thanksgiving – Start your Holiday Shopping with Us!

​Yes it has been a year already…Thanksgiving is really tomorrow!  The fourth Thursday of every November gives us a chance to reflect on the past year and the people that have made life special for us in one way or another, including wonderful families and caring friends.

We would like to express our gratitude to our wonderful customers and community for your patronage. Have a very happy Thanksgiving and we look forward to seeing everyone soon!

​Thanksgiving also kicks off the holiday season, and with Christmas right around the corner, it’s time to start shopping! While we all enjoy holiday feasts, spending time with loved ones and being off from work, gift shopping can be hectic in what is otherwise the most festive time of year. If you’re lucky enough to find a parking space at the mall, well, then you have to fight the crowds to find bargains (and regardless of sales, it can still become extremely expensive)! If you’re on a budget and fed up with it, have you ever considered knocking out some of your list in a friendlier (and much cheaper) environment? How about something non-traditional such as Craigslist, a surplus store, or a pawn shop?

​At American Pawn Gun and Jewelry Exchange, our most faithful customers come in this time every year to take advantage of our lowest prices on diamond and gold jewelry – and why not? Every piece is 40-50% off retail, has been refurbished to look like new again, and is sold in a nice gift box! But what about other goodies on Santa’s list? The fact is, all our merchandise is priced at half of retail, including a wide variety of gently-used electronics, power tools, leather apparel, you name it! And everything has been tested to function as if it were brand new.

We pride ourselves on selling the best for less, from stocking stuffers to a 60-inch HDTV. Check out our selection of gaming consoles for the kids. The fact that you bought a PlayStation 4 that was preowned as opposed to new won’t make one bit of difference to them, but the huge savings will make all the difference to you. How about car audio for your hubby? When he’s cruising around and cranking it up, he couldn’t care less that it used to be someone else’s gear…it’s his now (in fact, have it installed, and he’ll never even know)! If he’s not an audiophile, well I bet he’d smile to unwrap a new handgun or long gun – when it comes to men and their firearms, there’s no such thing as preowned – it’s all “new” to them!

Part of being the best pawn shop in Norfolk is working with customers to accommodate their individual needs, and for this reason we also provide an interest-free layaway program for anything in the store. Simply put 20% down, make periodic payments and get your items just in time for Christmas (you can layaway items up to 120 days). Being short on cash adds a level of stress that can put a real damper on your holiday season. However, if you’re responsible and don’t overspend, you can make a Christmas budget work.

Think outside the box, and you'll be glad you did! You’ll appreciate the ease of shopping at American Pawn Gun and Jewelry Exchange - let our knowledgeable staff help you with that gift list. It's best to get started early, while we still have the best selection...so come and see what we have!
