• Sell Your School Supplies From Prior Years. Did your child grow out of the old calculator they used last year? Need something more up to date? Bring the old one to your local pawn shop to see what they will give you for it. While you’re there, you may find the newer calculator you needed already on the shelf for a great price.  You could also invite friends and family over and organize a swap to trade book bags, school uniforms, supplies and more! This is a great way to come up with items you can keep or sell outright for extra cash. You’d be surprised by how many items people close to you may have that are still in good and reusable condition.
• Musical Instruments. Pawn shops are stocked full of different musical instruments for band. All are gently used and in good condition as they have to be when taken in as a pawn or bought outright. These instruments are sold at a fraction of retail prices – and we all know retail price on a musical instrument can be very expensive!
