<p>[QUOTE="blsmothermon, post: 931714, member: 26158"]Everyone has an opinion, so here's my <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/76/Two_cent_reverse.jpg/41px-Two_cent_reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> (2 cents). People do not go to a PAWN SHOP to sell anything unless they are desperate for fast cash. There's coin shops who sell on consignment, eBay, free or cheap listings in every classifieds section across the country, craigslist, in other words if you want to sell something a pawn shop is not the best place. However, if you go to Vegas and blow you life savings and have to get back home, that is why Rick and the boys are there. If Grandpa gave you his rare gold coin when he died and a bookie is about to have your legs broken, you go to Rick and fast. If you lose your job and need money to pay the bills then you go to a pawn shop to sell your unnecessary stuff. The pawn shops know that this is their function, so just like paying interest on a loan, you are going to have to accept a cut in value of the item you are selling as a fee for that service. Everyone is talking about profit and in my mind it is not about his profit margin. It is just like the $6.00 loaves of bread at 7-11, it is all about providing the service of instant cash and convenience. It is simply faster and easier to take your stuff to a pawnbroker than to list it in eBay, why then would you expect to NOT pay a fee for his services? Just my opinion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
