<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 870817, member: 24633&quot;]I have an acquaintance who owns a small pawn shop in my area. I don&#039;t know about the laws regulating pawn shops in other states or in other counties within our state for that matter, but the paperwork he must complete when he buys an article from someone borders on the ridiculous.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He told me of one incident where the description of the item purchased failed to include the color of the box it was in, so the sheriff&#039;s investigator made him produce his records for the previous two years. They proceeded to &quot;nickel and dime&quot; him for things, like failing to mention that a black watchband was plastic rather than leather, to the tune of $8,000 in potential fines. He had to pay to have an attorney represent him, and was able to have most of the citations overturned, but it still cost him about $3,000.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Life as a pawn shop owner isn&#039;t as easy as some people might think. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It may interest you to know that on more than one occasion, I have sold him coins, not only for resale in his shop, but also because he has become interested in collecting. Unlike Pawn Stars, he usually pays me better than CDN Ask.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
