Went To The Pawn Shop Yesterday...

You know, if the guy's that stubborn, take them off display, put them away till his price comes back (could be a while) and put something in the display case that'll move and make some revenue, instead of frustrating himself and potential customers.

If he sold move and moved his prices as spot moves and operated on a margin he'd probably do better. Like what APMEX & JM Bullion do.

It's weird isn't it? to me it makes sense to take a $20 loss and put something up that's gonna sell for a $40 profit, so there wipes out your loss. Plus business's can write off loss's. Oh well, I won't understand, and I'm guessing there's a reason. There isn't a lot in the shop though, just a bunch of ugly morgans for $25 and tax and THE ugliest "walking liberty's" you've seen. They have walls full of your pre-made typical chains, in the same pattern you see everyday. I mean they don't have TV's or anything, it's weird... but they do accept credit cards, so I know it's gotta be legit somehow. lol.

That is super high I laughed at mine selling a 40% half for $4. I'm getting 90% walkers for $7 right now at my favorite coin store.

My local pawn shops prices vary. I've picked up some what I thought were some good deals. I bought 2 1901 o Morgan's and a 1992 ASE for $20 a piece. He has some other Morgan's for more which some are nicer and he's sold me some junk silver right at spot. But then he has some basic wheats for .50-$1.00 and some other random things way overpriced. Seems to me it's hit or miss there and I only buy when I feel I'mgetting a good deal.

Laughing at you guys but not in a bad way. You gotta know how Pawn Shops work to understand them. Pawn shops aren't in the retail game; not really.
They are in the high interest loan game.
What they make off the stuff they sell is FAR below what they make in loaning money out to the ignorant and unwise that are their primary customers. Most of whom are repeat customers, many times over. Normal rates run 30-50 percent interest (on what on average is about one third of the perceived retail value of the item). Most of the time people pay up and retrieve their items, frequently at over what a new one might cost. Even if they make all of the payments except the last one, once they default the item will be sold for what the perceived value was at pawn, so the profit margin may go as high as 100-150% over the loan amount.
That $100 dollar item you bought there was probably pawned for $30 or less. The pawn was paid back $20, but went south and forfeited for $10. $100 purchase +20 pawn payments, $120, minus 30 dollar pawn equals $90 profit. Jewelry frequently pawns at less than 10 percent of retail value as pawnbrokers routinely discount stones and only offer value for scrap gold/silver.
