Using a Pawnshop
Jamaica: I need to raise some cash right away. I?m thinking of hocking a few things. You?ve used the pawnshop down the street before, right?
Nolan: Yeah, a few years ago when I lost my job. I needed a short-term loan to tide me over until I could find a new one.
Jamaica: Is the place legit?
Nolan: It seemed to be. I have no complaints.
Jamaica: That?s good. How would I go about pawning 2 something?
Nolan: It?s pretty simple. You bring the pawnbroker 3 something that?s worth money to use as collateral 4 and then you get a loan for a fraction of its value. Then, you have 90 days to repay the loan, plus interest and fees.
Jamaica: How do I redeem 5 my item?
Nolan: You just show them your pawn 1 ticket.
Jamaica: That sounds pretty simple. What if I can?t repay the money by the deadline?
Nolan: Then you forfeit 6 your item. The pawnshop tries to sell it to recoup the money they lent you.
Jamaica: Okay, I?m going to do it. I?m going to pawn my collection.
Nolan: Your collection of what?
Jamaica: Action figures. I have the entire collection of ESL Podcast action figures. There?s Jeff, Lucy, Warren, Jessica, Adriano, Pao, LeeAnn, Alison . . .
Nolan: I said something worth money, remember?
