TYLER — This may be a good time of the year to consider a unique pawnshop based in Tyler. IPawn is an online pawn operation targeting both businesses and individuals. CEO Ben Dekalo says he keeps costs down by asking that you describe the item and what you think it’s worth. Dekalo says the item is overnighted to Tyler. When iPawn gets the item, it is evaluated, and a binding offer is provided. If the client agrees, Dekalo says iPawn transfers the money to the client in no time. Dekalo says iPawn charges 1 to 2% interest. Regular brick and mortar pawn shops may charge up to 20%.
