| Did You Know? The money changers of Jesus’ time served two purposes. First they exchanged Antiochian Tetradrachms for the local currency (shekels), exacting a fee between 4% and 8% for their services. Second, they functioned as bankers and lenders. In the well-known Gospel story, Jesus overturned their tables because he didn’t feel the gates of the Temple were the right place to be conducting that business. In fact, such moneychangers set up shop there as a service, to deal with people who came to pay their half-shekel Temple tax. The Rabbis insisted it be paid in silver didrachms of Tyre, which nobody carried. | About Pawn Shops
People who’ve never been in a pawn shop have all kinds of misconceptions … and they may be a little uncomfortable because they don’t know what to expect! Well, at Reliable Pawn Shop, we want to solve that mystery!
First, know this: people from every walk of life use pawn shops --- business people, working people, the gal in front of you at the grocery store, that middle-aged lady sitting in the pew next to you at church. So don’t feel funny about needing a little help to get you through that temporary cash crunch. That’s why we’re here.
Donald trump calls it “leveraging his assets”. Reliable’s customers call it “pawning”. Second….if you come to Reliable Pawn Shop and borrow money, we --- you and one of our professionally trained staff members --- decide upfront on the loan value of the item you give as collateral, the length of time in which you will repay the loan, and how much the loan will cost you. If for some reason, you choose to not repay the loan, all we do is put the item out for sale. No surprises there!
| Did You Know? Throughout history, pawnbrokers have been helping people. The Bible offers references to pawnbroking, and in Deuteronomy 24:6-13 it states: "No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge, for he taketh a man’s life to pledge." What this means is: you should not take as a pledge anything a man needs to make a living. The same chapter also says: "Thou shalt not go into his house to fetch the pledge. Thou shalt stand abroad and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring the pledge...unto thee." Interestingly, often the debtor’s children could be used as a pledge (2 Kings, 4:1-7). Also in Deuteronomy 23:21 the people were told not to take interest from their own countrymen – only fromforeigners. | Third, here’s what we don’t do at Reliable Pawn Shop ….we don’t ruin your credit….we don’t hassle you at your home or work…we don’t sue. Unlike any other form of consumer credit, if you don’t repay your loan at Reliable Pawn Shop, nothing happens to you ---- nothing!
