Coronavirus ... and if needed, money !!!

Circumstances sometimes develop in such a way that sometimes we urgently need cash. Moreover, in coronavirus times, the reasons can be very different, including tragic ones.
In the USA, it is not customary to "shoot" the top ten at a colleague at work until payday, or bypass relatives and friends, begging for money "on an honest, noble word", promising to give it back after a certain time. Agree that your American colleague may not even understand the request to borrow $ 200 and, at best, will politely refuse. And close people, although they would be happy to help, but here's the trouble: money in America must work, and therefore rarely linger with anyone in large quantities. As a rule, they are invested in stocks, bitcoins and real estate or settle on long-term accounts, from where they can be pulled out before a certain period only upon payment of a fine. What is left to do? You can get a loan from a bank, but on the security of real estate or business, and only if their price has increased compared to the one for which they were purchased (availability of equity). In the face of the pandemic, many small business owners are in dire straits. So is there no way out?
Of course have. This is a service, or rather assistance, which has been provided by a pawnshop for many years, where Russian-speaking employees work. The pawnshop A-1 Pawn Brokers, located at 2131 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11223 tel. 718-627-2622, is an ancient invention of mankind. A pawnshop is a specialized commercial organization, the main activities of which are the provision of short-term and long-term loans secured by the precious property of citizens. Loans secured by property were established for the first time in the 15th century in France by immigrants from Lombardy, from where the word "pawnshop" originated. The borrower, handing over his thing to the pawnshop, can redeem it within the state established by law or by agreement. In this case, the redemption price is determined as the amount issued by the pawnshop, plus 4% per month. A thing that was not bought out by the owner from a pawnshop on time goes to auctions and is sold. Sometimes we forget about the presence of such an institution, but it is in it that you can instantly and easily get the right loan at a small percentage, without having to deal with the execution of numerous documents. Well, and old grandmother's jewelry, gold items and collectibles can be found in almost any family and can be pledged for some time without much damage.
A similar credit institution exists in South Brooklyn, in the center of the Russian-speaking community. It has been in business for about 30 years, and for the past 14 years has been located at 2131 Coney Island Ave. (between Ave.R & S). The pawnshop is licensed by the state, operates in accordance with the law, never violates its obligations to borrowers. Russian-speaking employees will answer all your questions in detail, both in person and by calling 718-627-2622. And loans can be taken for a period from 1 to 6 months at 4% monthly.If it became possible to redeem your collateral faster than a month, then no additional payments, except for the agreed 4%, are not charged, If, on the contrary, money was not found for 6 months, then the pawnshop usually meets the client halfway and, after paying the commission due to him for this period, renews the storage agreement. As a pledge, items made of precious metals, silver cutlery, collectible gold coins, diamonds of any size and shape and serious jewelry, watches of famous manufacturers (Breguete, Rolex, Cartier and others), crystal (from Tiffany, Van Cleef and other firms similar level). The company employs very high-level appraisers who understand all the intricacies of the jewelry business, and the loans offered are the highest possible for the pledged items. By the way, some goods can not only be pledged, but also sold at a great price. There is no need to spend an entire day driving to 47th Street in Manhattan, paying $ 40 for parking when you are offered even higher rates next to your house. It is especially profitable to pledge or sell gold products, since the prices for it are very high today, only it is necessary to take into account the daily fluctuations of the market and not consider the numbers heard some time ago unchanged (they can be either higher or lower).
In conclusion, I would like to wish all readers of our newspaper to always have at least as much money as necessary and never run out of it. But if difficulties arise - do not hesitate to come to the pawnshop at 2131 Coney Island Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11223, where you will always be helped in difficult times.
