From “The King of Pawn” to South Florida’s Trusted Private Buyer

For more than four decades, Jon Bragman has been a trusted name in South Florida when it comes to evaluating and purchasing high-value assets. Known early in his career as “The King of Pawn,” Jon made his mark by delivering honest assessments, competitive offers, and exceptional service in an industry often associated with the opposite.

Today, Jon no longer operates a pawn shop. Instead, he offers private, appointment-only consultations through Jon Bragman, Inc., a firm that focuses on the purchase of fine jewelry, diamonds, watches, gold, silver, coins, and estate collectibles—all in a discreet, secure setting.

A Legacy of Expertise in South Florida

Jon began his career in Miami in the 1980s and quickly became one of the most well-known figures in the industry. His sharp understanding of jewelry, precious metals, and luxury goods earned him the nickname “The King of Pawn.” While the business evolved, Jon’s values never changed—transparency, professionalism, and respect for the client have always been at the core of his approach.

Over the years, Jon transitioned from retail and pawn services to private buying, providing a higher level of service for clients looking to sell valuable items without pressure or middlemen. Today, Jon Bragman, Inc. is known for delivering honest evaluations and same-day payouts for clients throughout South Florida.
