Which San Diego Pawnbroker Gives Big Cash Loans?
To better serve the San Diego community, San Diego Jewelry Buyers (SDJB) has announced it has increased the firm’s limit on collateral cash loans to $250,000 for customers who want to pawn diamonds, estate jewelry, fine Swiss watches, and other luxury assets.
According to SDJB president Carl Blackburn, the San Diego pawnbroker has increased its cash loan limits due to the declining accessibility of mortgage loans from traditional banking institutions. “The economy has unexpectedly put so many individuals and businesses in a tough spot right now,” says Blackburn. “Many just need a little extra cash until the economy turns the corner. We are fortunate to be in a position as luxury pawnbrokers where we can help them through this rough patch.”
Blackburn says that the benefits of SDJB’s collateral cash loans are that they do not put a customer’s credit rating at risk, and there never are any hidden fees or surprises. When a customer want to pawn jewelry, diamonds, or fine watches with SDJB, they know exactly how much monthly interest will accrue. If a loan is defaulted on, SDJB always notifies the client before selling the collateral. Cash loans begin with collateral valued at $2,500.
San Diego Jewelry Buyers also provides a high level of customer privacy. No credit check is ever required and the company never voluntarily discloses information about its clients and their transactions. Although San Diego’s leading provider of pawnbroker services, SDJB is a pawn shop like a Rolex is a wristwatch. “Our convenient downtown offices provide a welcome level of comfort, dignity, and confidentiality to our clients,” says Blackburn. “We treat them with the respect that they deserve. We’re also easier and friendlier to deal with than a bank.”

KUSI TV Talks to San Diego’s #1 Gold Buyer
KUSI News, San Diego County’s most-watched television news station, has delivered a special report titled “Selling your gold? Don’t get scammed!” Conducted by Emmy award winning reporter and former CNN anchor Sasha Foo, the report on San Diego gold buyers and gold refineries provides useful information for San Diegans thinking about selling their gold jewelry, gold chains, gold coins, and other gold items.
Sasha Foo explains that while legitimate gold buyers operate in San Diego, others are not as “straight up.” According to the special report, one less-than-straight San Diego gold buyer is the nationally advertised Cash4Gold, who ran a TV ad during the Super Bowl this year. Sasha Foo reports that Cash4Gold has received a basement level grade of D- minus from the Better Business Bureau.
To learn more about the complaints lodged against Cash4Gold, Foo interviews Sheryl Bilbry, a BBB staff member in San Diego, who identifies some of the problems which Cash4Gold customers have reported:
“They told me that my gold never got there; they told me that within 10 days I could get my gold back, I can’t get them to send it back; they didn’t send me as much money as they told me they we’re going to send me. So a lot of misleading activity going on with that particular company.”
In contrast to Cash4Gold, San Diego Jewelry Buyers (SDJB) is presented as one of the legitimate gold buyers operating in San Diego. Foo interviews SDJB’s owner who tells gold sellers that the selling process should simple and straightforward:
“When you are calling on the phone trying to get a per gram price for the day that you are coming in, if the person on the other line doesn’t want to give information, that should be a red flag… Don’t be bullied. Transactions should be comfortable.”
