Bear’s Trading Post is one of the 7,000 pawnshops across the country whose traditions go all the way back to antiquity. Christopher Columbus was an early recipient of a pawnshop loan--the Queen of Spain is said to have pawned her jewels to finance his expedition. Bear’s Trading post can be depended on for small loans to help ease today’s economic burdens.
When most people first visit this shop, they expect to see the stereo-typically grim pawnshop. You should see their eyes light up when they step into a clean, bright business with cases of fine quality merchandise. In their large jewelry selection, you’ll find diamond and other precious stone rings, gold earrings, bracelets, necklaces and watches, silver and much more. Sporting goods, firearms, tools, musical instruments and electronics are other specialties here.
Remember, when you need a quick loan or a bargain on fine jewelry or other quality products, Bear’s Trading Post is the best place to shop. “As printed in the business section of The Winchester Star® May 2000”

Historically, most pawn shops advertise to buy or pawn ‘anything of value’; however, Bear’s
Trading Post doesn’t make that claim. We deal in a very diverse and broad range of
merchandise but occasionally there are certain items that we don’t have a market for and
cannot accept. In such cases, we are happy to make recommendations and we will do our very best to point you in the right direction.
A pawn is a 30-day loan where we hold item(s) as collateral until the customer returns to
redeem his or her item(s) Pawn loans can be extended beyond 30 days if necessary, as long
as the customer returns by the due date to pay for an extension. We charge a very reasonable
fee for interest and storage. The fee varies depending on the amount of the loan and is clearly outlined in the agreement. We allow a grace period for loan payments and we don't charge late fees. All items in pawn are stored safely and out of sight in a secure storage area. When a customer opts to sell us an item it is understood that they do not want it back and that we will display and sell it in our shop. We can typically offer more money to purchase an item.
Must be over the age of 18 and have valid photo identification. The customer must sign an agreement stating that he or she has the legal authority to pawn/sell the item(s). In compliance with city ordnance, every item that we buy or pawn is reported to the Records Department of the WPD at the end of each day
Tuesday thru Friday 10:00am to 6:00pm, Saturday 10:00am to 4:00pm, CLOSED: Sunday and Monday.

Cash, money order, and all major credit cards.
We can put money in your pocket today, with no hassle and no strings attached. The auction
sites take several days for your funds to clear and leave you vulnerable to scams, refund
requests, and the potential for shipping damage. Not to mention the rapidly rising fees
associated with selling online. And why risk dealing with a stranger in an unfamiliar
environment, or worse yet at your home? Take the risk and uncertainty out of the equation by
safely selling your items to Bear’s Trading Post.
If it’s a time-sensitive inquiry, we recommend calling during regular business hours. If you’d like
to send us pictures of an item, please email them directly to BTPost@comcast.net
No, we do not.
