<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1883269, member: 5233&quot;]It is true.&nbsp; Now, maybe different pawn shops have different price points...but the fact is, the lower they can buy something the better off they are.&nbsp; This has nothing to do with Pawn Stars or Rick Harrison or anybody...it&#039;s just how pawn shops work.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is (and was)...there are benefits to the seller too.&nbsp; Could you go and sell it elsewhere for more money?&nbsp; Of course, but it takes time.&nbsp; Pawn shops offer the ultimate in convenience.&nbsp; You can sell your item <u><b>immediately</b></u> and get <u><b>CASH</b></u>.&nbsp; The service cost for that level of convenience is you get a low price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I&#039;m not talking about legal interest rates on loans or anything like that as those are mandated by state law.&nbsp; I&#039;m talking about the value the pawn shop gives you.&nbsp; I seem to remember a thread where you went to a pawn shop and pawned some slabbed coins (I think one was a Bust Half) and they found the cheapest cleaned example that sold on eBay and offered you that much.&nbsp; You balked at the number but needed the money, so you took it.&nbsp; That&#039;s how pawn shops operate.&nbsp; It&#039;s not illegal, it&#039;s not even immoral (although I&#039;m sure you will think it is).</p><p><br /></p><p>I know we have talked about how you want to own a pawn shop and I think that&#039;s great...but don&#039;t try and tell me that are somehow a &quot;noble business&quot; (unless we are talking about noble metals).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
