Why Pawn at YPP
Here at Yankee Peddler & Pawn, we have everything. We mean that… everything! We aim to offer the widest selection of inventory as humanly possible, so when all other stores fail, when you can’t find it at a yard sale or another pawnshop, it’ll be waiting for you when you walk through our doors.
You might be wondering… why pawn? We’ve heard that question before, trust us! The negative stigma associated with pawn shops is not because the industry is untrustworthy, it’s because people don’t know what exactly it is that we do. Why would they? There aren’t many articles, press releases, or interviews about what pawn shops do and how they do it. There’s a serious lack of knowledge when it comes to the pawn industry, and we want to inform you so that there is no reason to be wary about visiting a pawn shop in the future!

Staying organized isn’t always an easy task, with balancing work, school, children, family, friends and whatever else life throws your way it is easy to get unorganized fast!

We’ve got your pot of gold at YPP!
Did you know, the price of gold is at a general all-time high since the financial crisis of 2008? In response to the crisis, gold hit a whopping $1,895 an ounce in September 2011… crazy huh? Regardless of the price of gold, it will always remain extremely valuable in society simply because it has for over 3,000 years already.
Now, gold isn’t valuable just because it is shiny and makes your girlfriend really happy (although those would be valid reasons). Instead, gold is valuable because of its chemical properties, its timeless appeal, its long term store of value, and the fact it has no counterparty risks. Basically what all this means is that gold is very hard to be destroyed, it is aesthetically pleasing, and its value cannot fall to zero. Would you agree these all seem like great reasons to invest in some gold? Now, we’re not expecting you to get out there, get your leprechaun game on and attempt to find a pot of gold under some illusionary rainbow, because we’ve already done all that for you.
Yankee Peddler and Pawn is feeling luckier than ever this March due to our wide selection of gold we have here for our customers, you guys! Our inventory is spread across our three locations in Groton, East Hartford and New London, and consists of pieces from name brands like Tiffany & Co., Michael Kors and Rolex. Every piece of jewelry has been appraised by our own professional leprechauns. So stop in today, you never know what you’ll find!
Your “One Stop Shop” for the Holidays
The holidays are finally upon us and we couldn’t be more excited. The weather is finally starting to feel like winter, the holiday decorations and lights are starting to illuminate the streets, and the holiday flavors and scents are starting to fill the air. I think it is finally time when you can listen to Christmas music with no shame. You don’t have to hear people complain, “What about Thanksgiving? It’s too early for Christmas”. Thanksgiving is over and everyone is now in full acceptance that the holidays are here. This begs to ask the question; have you finished your holiday shopping yet?
This time of year is all about giving and sharing moments with the ones you love most. Unfortunately, the giving season always brings out two kinds of people. First are the ones who have already finished their holiday shopping and have been done for a while. The ones that plan ahead and buy gifts throughout the year. In our opinion, the smarter and less stressed of the two. And second are the ones who most likely haven’t gotten anything for anyone yet. The ones who are going to panic in a few weeks when there are only a few days to spare. The ones who apparently like having the challenge of a deadline.
To those of you that waited until now, there is no need to panic. Here at Yankee Peddler & Pawn, we have everything you need to finish up your holiday shopping. We carry video games and consoles for the gamer in your life. We have cameras, drones, and instruments for the artistic one in your life. Our instruments have been brands such as Fender, Pearl, and Yamaha, to name a few. We have electronics like TV’s, phones, and computers for the techy in your life. And we have jewelry for the love of your life. We have carried brands like Rolex, Seiko, Tiffany & Co., Michael Kors, and Pandora. We are always getting in new items, so our inventory is constantly changing. Yankee Peddler & Pawn has something for everybody, no matter who you’re shopping for.
If you need to make room for new gifts coming your way or need some extra cash to finish up your shopping, bring in your gently used items to Yankee Peddler & Pawn and we will give you cash, fast. We value our customers and always present them with the best deal for their item. We buy items like broken or unwanted jewelry, tools, electronics, collectibles, and more. With over 20 years in the gold buying business, we can guarantee a simple and convenient process when selling your gold. We can quickly and accurately present you with competitive prices for your items, whether they are rings, coins, or jewelry. Don’t be taken advantage of at other places! The price of gold is at an all-time high, we guarantee to offer you the most cash for your gold.
Don’t put yourself through the stresses of holiday shopping. Stay away from the pushy crowds and the long lines at the mall or department stores. Forget those big box retail stores with their hectic crowds and save money with us at Yankee Peddler & Pawn. We specialize in used instruments, power tools, and fine jewelry. Don’t put your trust in online shopping to hopefully arrive in time. You never know what problems might happen with holiday shipping. Come shop at Yankee Peddler & Pawn and get what you want, when you want it, and always at a great price.
If you don’t find what you’re looking for at one location, don’t worry. Check out one of our other locations, located in Groton, New London, or East Hartford.
What one location might not have, one of the others might have something even better. If you’re looking for something specific, give us a call and one of our friendly staff members will gladly answer any questions you may have. We look to create lasting relationships with our customers so that we can continue to have their business in the future. We would love to help you finish up your shopping for the season. Hope to see you soon. Happy Holidays!
