Do most pawning customers lose their merchandise?
On average, 70 to 80 percent of all loans are repaid. Repeat customers make up most of a pawn shop’s business, similar to any other lending or retail establishment. Pawnbrokers know the vast majority of their customers because they often borrow against the same items over and over again. Pawnbrokers offer non-recourse loans, looking only to the item being pledged to recover their investment if the borrower chooses not to repay the loan. It is solely the choice of the customer whether he/she elects to repay the loan. Unlike other type of loans if a customer decides not to redeem the item in pawn then the item becomes the property of the pawnbroker and the pawnbroker puts the item out for sale. In the case of scrap good and damaged jewelry the pawnbroker will send that off to a refiner to be melted down. Sometimes a pawnbroker wholesales items to other retail outlets o wholesalers.
