Got something you want to sell to the shop? Perfect! However please understand that we can only buy items when both the seller and item are in our store! If this is not something you can bring down to us we will not be able to buy from you! We cannot preview any item via mail, email, phone etc. the only way to have us look at your item is to bring it to the store, there are no exceptions! Please read the following FAQ for information on selling to us, and be sure to read the bottom of the page for advice relating to specific categories of items. If you can't bring your item here unfortunately we can't do business as store policy requires all transactions to take place in the shop.

Just tell the parking attendant you are there to sell an item, if you are a local you can show your Nevada ID to the doorman and skip any line.
Q. What do I need to bring?
A. Your item and a current, Government Issued ID. If you have any other documents, certificates of authenticity etc. for your item please bring them as well.
Q. Can I send an item to you to look at and maybe buy from me?
A. NO, DO NOT SEND US YOUR ITEMS. We get so many letters and gifts from fans in the mail it is impossible for us to separate them out. Any items mailed to us without specific prior approval from a manager are assumed to be gifts and we are not responsible for returning them.
Q. I'm in another State/Country, is it worth bringing my item down?
A. Due to the overwhelming volume of submissions we are unable to review items in advance at this time. Your best bet if you want to sell an item is to just bring it to the shop and see if we are interested. There are many other pawn shops and antique stores around that country that will likely also be interested in your items. We are always buying luxury watches, jewelry, gold and silver coins and bullion just bring them down to the shop.
Q. What is the best time to come to the shop but avoid the long line?
A. If you have an item to pawn or sell you always get to skip the line! Just tell our door person that you are here to sell/pawn us an item and you can skip the line. As far as slow times go they are usually in the morning between 9-10:30am or evenings after 5pm. Nevada residents always get past the line even if you are just visiting to look around, just show your NV ID to the doorman!
Q. Do I need to make an appointment for you to look at my item?
A. No appointments are necessary.
Q. Is there any way you guys can come to me?
A. If you are in the Las Vegas valley, and have a large collection, mobility impairment, work obligations etc. preventing you from getting to the shop, in special cases we can send a broker to visit you. Please email pawncounter@gspawn.com and put *Vegas resident requesting vist* in the subject line. As stated above, due to volume we can only get back to you if we are interested, no follow up is necessary. Please note this is only available in Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City, NV.
Q. I just want help identifying an item or can you tell me what it's worth?
A. Unfortunately we don't offer appraisal services and cannot value/identify/appraise any item that is not in the store. Please understand we are just a small family business and the sheer volume would overwhelm our small staff. You can try local antique shops, collectible stores, museums or the internet to determine the price of your items.
