A pawn shop paying MORE than something’s worth?

They must smoking that $300 a lb weed
Spot isn't "what something's worth." Spot is merely the paper contract price, i.e., the price to hold a contract that says it's based on silver, but isn't really. It's a written promise that's well known not to be deliverable, so naturally it goes for less than the real thing in the hand.
