Can you pawn a broken TV?

Typically not. Pawn shops spend money for three reasons: to make loans against collateral (pawning an item); buying an item with the intent to resell it; or buying it outright because it is something the pawn shop wants to own. In the first case, a broken TV has no value to loan against- it’s broken.

Can you pawn a TV without the remote?

Happy pawnbrokers make the best offers, and few things put a smile on a pawnbroker’s face like an item that’s complete. For TVs, that means including the original box, remote control, power cords, and HDMI cables. While pawn shops will accept TV’s without these items, they will certainly sweeten the deal if you do.
