I Met The Stupidest Pawn Shop Employee In The World Today.

The prices posted are higher than normal for pawn shops, but most pawn shops are going to be high. The show pawn stars have gave a bad out look that pawns shops buy things all the time. Most pawn shops are in business to give short term loans with high interest, hoping you fail to make payments and then after 120 days the item becomes their property at a cost of 10% item value. I use to be good friends with a pawn shop owner. he would use price guides to value items, such as Red Book. When these guide books are not good resources is when the pawn shop will price things crazy. Given that he may of bought this quarter when silver was at a peak, he will not change the price when silver goes down. He will let it set there till it sells are becomes a case piece. Most pawn shops owners kno .s very well. They make their business by knowing prices on items. If you take a 1932 S quarter in to any pawn shop they will be able to give you a history lesson. Pawn shops will never sell a item below cost if they can help it.
