Aren pawnshops notorious for stolen goods?
As in any industry, there are people in the pawn business whose scruples are lacking and whose ethics are questionable. That said, ours is one of the most carefully scrutinized industries there is. Pawnshops are strictly licensed and regulated, and every single transaction is carefully monitored and reported. At American Pawn Exchange, we will not accept an item whose serial number is missing or altered, and we test all goods such as diamonds and gold for authenticity. We have been in business for nearly 30 years and are well respected in our community. You can shop with us with complete confidence in our integrity.
