Mattglet,
Good guess there, but that's not it!

Very good guess, but still not it!
Clue number 2: If you leave your goods in me too long, they will disappear.
At least, my socks keep disappearing there if I leave em too long.
Clue number3: My balls hang down in front of me.

The universal symbol for a pawn shop used to be three golden balls, linked in legend with the bags of gold that St. Nicholas gave secretly to three girls without dowries. (The beginning of Santa Claus!)
And pawn shops used to be like a combination of a loan shark and rental storage. People would pawn valuables for a lump sum and pay interest every week until they could redeem them. I think it was "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" that described poor people in the early twentieth century pawning suits, and paying a dime every Saturday to get them out for church on Sunday. Since the suits were brushed and stored in camphor all week, it amounted to a storage service. Of course, if they fell behind in the interest, the items were sold.
That was a cute riddle.
