Personally, I avoid pawn shops. The mood that strikes me when I walk into one reeks of despair and greed. People hocking heirlooms and treasures in order to make rent, pay medical bills, and fix dope cravings met by buzzards behind the counter with zero compassion. Not for me. Bad ju-ju all around, and I don't care that I may be missing out on the gun deal of the century because of that. So be it.
If you pay attention at gun shows, you might see something as bad. Young kids selling grand paws favorite guns for penny's on the dollar. You might do what I've done and make a log on what I have and its value to help my wife when I kick the bucket . Hasbeen
