Whether you’ve fallen on hard times and are looking for some extra cash or you have a lot of extra tools that you don’t really use, selling any tools you don’t need is a good way to make some money. However, if you want to get the most out of your tools, you’ll want to follow a few important steps.
Here are some of the best tips for preparing to sell tools to a pawn shop that you should keep in mind.
- Make sure you have every component possible. While you can sell tools that are missing a few attachments or minor pieces, you’ll likely get more money from your tools if you have every component possible. This includes instruction manuals, cords, and anything else that came with the tool when you first purchased it. Even including the original packaging is a good idea.
- Try out your tools before you bring them in. The pawn shop owner will want to make sure the tools you bring in actually work before they buy them from you, so save them the trouble and make sure you test out the tools before you bring them in. For tools that require a charge, make sure you charge them so that they can be tested out at the shop.
- Clean off your tools. Sometimes, heavy dirt and stains can take a long time to clean off, and many pawn shops will lower the value of the tools if they have to clean them on their own. Cleaning off your tools and presenting them in the best condition possible can help you get the best price for their value.
