Advantages: Sell unwanted items without going to carboot!

Disadvantages: You may not get what it is worth

Cash Converters is a modern take on an old fashioned idea - the Pawn Shop. Everyone needs a little extra cash when times are tight. Cash Converters serves several purposes. It can be a source of cash in exchange for something of value which you own. You can leave something of value with them, and borrow money on it. This is much the same as the old Pawn Brokers. You can get an advance on your next set of wages. This may be the only way some people can get a very small unsecured loan.

You can go into Cash Converters and buy the pre-owned goods at prices that reflect their condition.

You can find anything from jewellery, small electrical goods like computers, Televisions, exercise machines games and bric-a-brac. Because of the nature of the supply, you never know what you might find in cash converters. One store will have completely different goods from the next, so if you are looking for something particular, and you don't see it in one Cash Converter store, try different stores the item will be sold at a price that is higher than the owner received and the proceeds kept by Cash Converters.

I have bought a small games console for £30 that would have cost £80 had I bought it new. The type that grandchildren want today and want replaced tomorrow. It was perfect for the purpose and lasted just a long as the £130 Nintendo DS I bought her!

Obviously it is a business and must make a profit. The price Cash Converters will pay for goods is much lower than they will sell those goods for. So, don't expect to get rich on the proceeds, and don't expect to buy goods there at knock down prices.
