a good place to hock your items when you are down on funds,they have a huge variety of items in store from jewellery to music equipment.

Westend lends money for items of value such as jewelry, electrical goods, laptops, computers, mobile phones, power tools etc - almost anything as long as it has real value. They operate on the basis of buying goods and selling goods and loaning against peoples items. The loans do have very very high fees, off memory they are in the percentile band of over 200% per annum. Ofcourse the fees are usually calculated on a montly basis and you do have a time limit to pay and retrieve your pawned/loaned goods.
There store is rather basic and the prices they charge for items for sale could be quite abit lower as they are high and most arent brand new anyway.
always read the fine print and proceed with caution and knowledge.
