A lot of items that are priced pretty high are oddball items, you have to consider in what type of auction you put it in, how much it&#039;ll go for, how many fees you pay, and how long it takes you to get your money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, you can get the quick money you were looking for, knowing that it won&#039;t be at full retail.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think Rick should start offering $9000 on $10000 oddball items? Honestly, not a lot of people have $10000 to spend, and then the people will start negotiating. Which brings me to my next point, they buy low, put some prices well over retail and let people negotiate down.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words all of this together equals one thing for the pawn shop, PROFITS. You think just because this is a TV show, it should be like Full House and everybody gets exactly what they want at the end of an episode? The store is a business, out to make money to pay their 30+ employees. So paying $1500 for something, knowing retail is $10000, and you put it up for around $8000, and sell it for $3000 or even $5000, you did alright. As for the seller who sold the pawn shop the item, that is just it THEY sold them the item, they agreed to it, the pawn shop didn&#039;t hold them down and make them accept their offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for that super bowl ring, it is more of a promotional gimmick, nobody in their right mind would buy that for $100,000, a more likely price would be below $10,000. It draws people in the store, and then while they are there, they see something that catches their eye...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
