Default Pawn Shops

With the ecomomy the way it is there has been reports of people finding deals at the pawn shops to save money. This got me thinking if there were some good deals out there to be had on leathers, bags\luggage, or just parts and accessories at pawn shops. Anyone ever find a smokin deal ???

I rarely find a deal at pawn shops. Every shop that I have been in was full of junk that was priced too high...Now, if you get in the good graces of a pawn shop owner, you can get some deals. I have a buddy with an arsenal of guns, litterly a walk in gun room at his house. He has guns he says he has never fired. He told me he got them cheap because he had a buddy that owned a pawn shop that would call him up and give him first pick of guns at a discounted rate.

I traded a fishing net and a lace bra for a full suit of armor!

I agree that pawn shops are full of old junk that is overpriced. go to Ebay, it's better because you can bid on chit and you might not have to pay full price. and you can buy it in your chonies at home chillin!

Pawnshops prey on people in hard times,during they 4$ gas prices last summer they bought gold and jewelry cheap.Some buy stolen goods from desperate crackheads.I never step foot in these shysters places and I don't want something that some desperate person had to sell to buy groceries.It's tainted goods.

Funny (or not), I've always felt the same way. Never wanted to gain from someones bad luck....Never have been in one.
