Like them or hate them, pawn shops are a real world value assessment institution. If you really want to know what you have is worth, take it to a pawn shop, then add 20%.
Getting all worked up over a business you don’t understand is like trying to fly a jet and you don’t know how to start it.
What makes you think I don't understand it? I'm well aware they need to buy quite low in order to make a living. In this case, however, we're talking about a disparity between a $150.00 purchase for something worth $5,000.00 at auction. Might be legal, but that strikes me as a bit unethical.
It would be different if Rick thought it was worth $350, and paid $150.00 for it, and only later realized it was actually worth $5,000.00 at auction.
