About Cash Converters

Cash Converters is a unique and exciting international retail concept. What began in Perth Australia in 1984 is today a dynamic international franchise group with over 500 stores worldwide. Cash Converters specializes in the buying and selling of quality second-hand goods - jewelry, TVs, stereos, tools, electrical goods, etc. Bright, well-merchandised stores with trained, uniformed staff service the customers who receive cash for their goods when they sell and a 30-day warranty on products when they buy. People have been trading goods for hundreds and hundreds of years. The primal instinct to exchange one thing for something else probably pre-dates written history. It's an instinct that drives bargain hunters to garage sales and auction lovers to on-line sites.
The desire to strike a deal, to barter or to think you have obtained something for virtually nothing is the reason Cash Converters came into existence.
