Hi Lau, are you finally making the move to Mauritius?  I am planning a trip to Mauritius in December for a month.  I must say I have never seen a pawn shop in Mauritius but will ask my Mauritian friends for you.  I have a feeling there might be something of this nature in Flacq one of my friends sold a gold ring to a place that might be a pawn shop there, but maybe it's not called "pawn".

It has been a long time since I last saw a pawn shop in Mauritius. The only ones I ever knew were in Port Louis and as far as I know, both of them have closed down.

You could always put an ad in your local shop - but if they are ordinary mugs, bowls, crockery etc you could always donate them to the local church or give them to either your maid or one of your friends maids :)
