[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1405303, member: 29581"]Jason, I never said pawn shops rip people off. What I did say was pawn shops are not the best for buying/selling coins from a customer's stand point. You should actually read all that I have stated about pawn shops and you will realize I have defended their reputations. NFN, the volume of numismatic business a pawn shop does would depend a lot on the size of the shop, IMO. The shops I worked in were not run down, or crummy. They were very reputable, and never did shady business like some, small percentage mind you, shops do. I've visited numerous pawn shops that have large inventories of coins, and some, you actually have to ask the staff if they have any because their inventory is that small. I've also done business with the Goldman's in Detroit, they don't do coins. Les' reason is there isn't much money to made from them. To each his own. In so far as speaking in generalizations, I'm speaking from my experiences, and in no way do I claim my experiences to be what every pawn shop does, business wise. Some are the same, and some are not.[/QUOTE]
