Our process is quick and easy. A loan value will be determined within a matter of minutes, and you can be on your way with cash in your hand moments later. All business done with Manhattan Buyers Inc. is strictly confidential.
How do I know that my jewelry will be returned to me in the same condition?
Your jewelry is safely packaged and labeled with a unique loan number. The package is then stored in a secure vault. Upon repayment of the loan, the collateral is returned to you.
Your jewelry is insured by Manhattan Buyers Jewelry Insurance Policy
New York State mandates that loans are written for three (3) months.
First, you will receive the money. We can provide cash or check. Regarding cash, we are fully compliant with US Patriot Act Laws regarding the distribution and collection of cash.
Second, you will receive a loan ticket. Do not lose the loan ticket, as it is necessary to redeem your merchandise. The ticket will provide a description of your merchandise, the amount financed, all charges, and the terms of the contract. Any person who presents the loan ticket can redeem the merchandise, so: DO NOT LOSE YOUR LOAN TICKET!!!
You may request Manhattan Buyers to re-pledge your property for an additional one (1) to three (3) months. If agreed, a new ticket will be generated after all interest and fees are paid. You must contact us by email or certified mail if you are not able to pick up your loan. As a courtesy Manhattan Buyers provides a one (1) week grace period. If did not contact Manhattan Buyers within that time your loan will be sold off.
The borrower can redeem the loan at any time before the end of the loan period, and will only be charged for that period of time which has passed
