Pawn Shops, Pawn People & Pawning
Lately due to many circumstances we have needed fast cash. We went to pawn shops. This is interesting. One pawn shop looked liked a high end jewelry store with columns & bright lights. Another looked like a dark seedy alleyway pawn. The pawn people all have big guns holstered on their hips. That is strange to see guns out in open like that.The Pawn People are all as different as their shops. None of this looks like the T.V. shows about pawn shops. Mr. Well Spoken in the classy shop, Big Bubba in the alley shop.But the difference is in the money that's paid. The classy shop actually paid more than any of them. But if you want to buy things their prices are ok. Hubby bought a soldering gun with everything for $12.99. I would have bought a pair of earrings but we were there to get money not spend money. So hopefully I'm done with pawn shops. I don't want to get into the habit of going to pawn shops!

Mergie, what is a soldering gun? Nothing wrong in going to a pawn shop - if done for the right reasons! Whatever is the reason for you needing fast cash - I have it will be solved soon. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou must be in a bigger city than I go to. I have never gone to a pawn shop that anyone was wearing guns, so that is not always the case. You should be able to get very good prices on things at a pawn shop. But not when you are selling something to them!
ReplyDeleteWow, our pawn shop people don't carry guns either. That would be kinda freaky. :) Financial dilemmas are never a good time, hope it all works out soon.
