In February, the festival season is in full swing. With the Spring Festival, Valentine’s Day, and the Lantern Festival all coming one after another, major pawnshops are launching special promotions: up to 95% off on jade items, 95% off on diamond jewelry, and 97% off on watches, among others.
Many people still remember the traditional image of a pawnshop — the “when†character on the sign, the two-meter-high counter, and the loud voices from the station cabinet. This was the pawnshop that people used to associate with. However, today’s pawnshops located in busy urban areas have changed significantly. Only a few still keep the traditional “when†character on their façade, subtly reminding customers that these shops are a modern continuation of the old-style pawnshops.
Pawnshops have also gone online — they now operate as Taobao shops.
Originally, pawnshops were meant to handle various pawn loan services. They functioned as informal financial institutions that specialized in issuing mortgages and pledges. However, since it's a pawn, there are strict rules: if an item isn't redeemed within a certain period (usually five days), it becomes an "absolute" item. These items can then be auctioned or sold in the second-hand market. For consumers, this makes pawnshops similar to a second-hand marketplace — like Taobao, but with physical items.
After the Spring Festival, reporters visited dozens of pawnshops in the capital and found that sales of second-hand goods were quite slow. Some pawnshops had very few items on display, while others saw a steady flow of customers.
Throughout the city, the main items sold at pawnshops include jade pendants and ornaments. Diamond jewelry, platinum, K-gold, and watches are less common. However, despite the limited selection, there are still many high-quality items available, such as A-grade jade ice bracelets, Hetian jade ornaments, gold jewelry worth thousands, and even diamond rings. It's not uncommon to find items that have never been used before entering the pawnshop. For example, some luxury watches from brands like Rolex, Omega, Longines, IWC, and Vacheron Constantin are labeled as either "unused" or "used."
So, what makes shopping at pawnshops attractive, and how much can you save?
It's reported that a watch that normally costs between $50,000 and $60,000 can be purchased for as low as $20,000 to $30,000 at a pawnshop. Some jadeite pendants can be priced at just one-third of the market value. Many regular customers in the capital visit pawnshops like they would a mall, browsing and buying what suits them.
But when shopping at pawnshops, there are some things to be careful about.
Most pawnshops have signs stating: “Items sold are final, no returns or exchanges.†Therefore, it's important to choose a reputable pawnshop and avoid making impulsive purchases driven by low prices.
When shopping at pawnshops, timing is crucial. Pawnshops often deal in rare and valuable items — from diamonds and jade to cars and even houses. To find good quality items, preparation is essential. Gold jewelry, for instance, is always a safe bet, as its value is well-known and the price at pawnshops is usually lower than the market rate. Similarly, fine diamonds, though limited in supply, can offer great investment potential. So, knowing when to shop is key.
Careful inspection is also necessary. Beyond timing, consumers should pay close attention to the authenticity, quality, and craftsmanship of the items. For example, gold jewelry from formal stores typically has marks like 24K, 18K, 14K, or 999, 750, 583. Platinum jewelry will have a Pt mark, and silver jewelry may show 925, prime, or Tibetan silver. In addition to checking the markings, weight and hardness are also important factors. For luxury watches, examine the logo, dial, case, and serial number carefully. For diamonds, check color, clarity, cut, and carat. Recently, there have been cases where fake moissanite rings or counterfeit gold necklaces were passed off as real. If in doubt, it's wise to consult a professional appraiser before purchasing.
Lastly, always ask for invoices and certificates. When pawning an item, pawnshops usually require the customer to provide the item, ID, and invoice. For diamonds, an authentication certificate is needed. When purchasing an absolute item, make sure to request an invoice and certification, especially for high-value items like diamonds and jade.
