Pawnshop(典当行)are not malls. You can borrow some money at pawnshops if you leave something as a pledge. You can also take back what you left if you return enough money on time. But if you can’t, the owner of the pawnshop will sell your things. Pawnshops may be large or small, but they are all full of different things.

Few people want to go to the pawnshop unless they need much money. But sometimes people do want to sell things. Most pawnshops accept many kinds of things,including jewelry(珠宝),watches, clothes and so on. So the owners of the pawnshops must know a lot. Because some things may have been kept in a family for many years, the owners of the shops have to tell how old they are,whether they are real or how much they are worth. The owner of the pawnshop might buy it at a low price and then try to sell it for a higher price. About 25% to 35% of their money comes from selling things.
