The difference
Pawn or sell your technology
| Criterion | Pawn electronics | Sell electronics |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Your technology remains your property. | Ownership passes to the buyer. |
| Getting it back | After repaying the pawn loan, you get your device back. | Getting it back is generally not possible. |
| Use | You make use of the value of your technology without parting with it permanently. | You give up your device permanently. |
| Payout | Payout after the valuation and conclusion of the pawn agreement. | Payout after your device has been sold. |
Many technical devices still have a high value even after some time. With a pawn loan, you can make use of this value without selling your device for good. Once you have repaid the loan plus the agreed interest and monthly costs, you will of course get your technology back.
