It is better to know and understand the law when it comes to buying and selling new or used military gear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When selling used or new military gear, it is important to be honest when selling the items and not to sell someone else’s things. If someone is still in active duty, don’t sell those items. There are many military surplus stores who will purchase unwanted, used military gear. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are lots of things to consider when selling used military items, and what to do if pawn shops won’t purchase it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What you need to make sure of before you sell your military uniform is that you have just recently gone into retirement and you won’t be needing it anymore. Of course, make sure that any insignia, badges, or names are taken off of the uniform before being sold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A pawn shop is a collector of items, they don’t want just any uniform that has been worn. It needs to be of value in order to be sold for money. Set a minimum price before going in to sell it, then negotiate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is entirely dependent on the state that you live in. States where a military base is near may not purchase because of an excess of military gear, some may not purchase because of personal preferences. Some pawn shops don’t want to deal with assumed repercussions, so inform yourself before selling to just any pawn shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How a Military Surplus tore works is that they purchase your old things in order to repurpose them and sell them at a lower cost to civilians. There are many across the United States, and someone can even start their own. You can either sell or donate them to these stores and they can resell them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever you are selling can be used or not, but will vary in price depending on the wear and tear they come with. Even if your items are privately manufactured within the military, surplus stores may still purchase them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What you are selling and military stores are purchasing is going to be military grade, which means that it has to meet the standards set by the Department of Defense. They need to be Army Regulation approved in order to be worn while protecting the country; Military Surplus stores will check for the same set of guidelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Sell to a Pawn Shop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
