Answer:
This is someone who mediates the sale of a small item from one person to another.
Having said that, it's not like you approach the pawn broker and say "I have a watch to sell" and then he goes out and finds someone willing to buy your watch and then gets you together (for a fee). You go to a "pawn shop" and give them your watch in exchange for some money. Someone else comes along and buys your watch. The pawn shop keeps the profit. It's not radically different from say a consignment store, except usually a pawn broker will have some period of time that they will hang onto the item (before putting it on sale) and you can come back, pay what you owe, with interest, and reclaim your item. In this case, the money is considered a loan, and your watch the collateral.
