National context

• Loan amount: 25%–60% of resale value. Shops lend a fraction of what they’re confident they can resell the item for. The National Pawnbrokers Association reports the average US pawn loan is about $150 (NPA data via AmeriSave).
• Redemption rate: ~85%. The NPA reports that roughly 85% of pawn customers successfully repay and reclaim their item — a pawn loan is a temporary liquidity bridge for most people, not a sale.
• No credit check, no credit impact. A pawn loan is secured by the item itself. Default means you lose the collateral; it does not appear on your credit report and cannot damage your score.
