Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 'Something Just Snapped': Consumers Panic Search "Pawn Shop Near Me"

I'm still sitting here impatiently waiting for all of these cheap trucks, atvs and boats to hit the market.

Choices made by individuals. I don't feel it's my place to concern myself, with others freedom of choice. As long as it's legal, and doesn't injure anyone.

I have picked up a couple nice rifles from pawn shops already this year.

Never understood why some people make such a big deal out of how long or how much so one else spends on a vehicle. Doesn't make a rats azz to me if people want to drive a truck for 3 years or 20. Many people get a lot of pleasure out of owning a newer vehicle. Its no feather in anyones cap if someone wants to drive the wheels off a beater.
None of us needs what we own. We own stuff because we enjoy it. No ones business other than the people paying for it.

Agreed 100%, except for those on the dole.

Poor get poorer, and the rich get richer. A lot of people look middle class, earn middle class, but spend like they are rich. That doesn't work out well long term. Middle class folks can't afford a 60k truck and an 80k boat.

Extravagant debt is a societal issue that affects our National community as a whole. This will become more and more evident as people default on their loans, or worse.
Student loans are a good example. How much less would people be paying for a college education if the education industry wasn’t artificially inflated and propped up by the federal government?

Agree with ya

One man's pain is another man's gain.
I love pawnshopping.
I have found some smoking deals over the years on firearms and posted em on here at various times

Having a good customer and owner relationship is always a plus too.



And yes their are more guns filling up the shelves at the 5 pawn and or LGS combo shops around here.
I highly recommend this shop if you are ever in Clarksvegas.
Largest selection of New and used guns in town, and no sticker shock pricing for this day and age.


Anyways a bunch of tards nation wide who didn't have a pot to piss in to begin with.
Except to squeeze every penny for their fuuuked up vices priorities
Are now selling off their Biden bucks schit in droves waaay more than they were doing 12 to 18 months ago.
Schit they was never able to get ever before.
Same type of people bemoaning why ain't their any more stimmy checks.

Some blew their stimmy checks
Just think welfarites and lowlifes gone wild with other people's tax dollars back then and even more so to this day in so many dominoe affect ways...


Some spent it constructively
Some saved it
Some even applied every fuuking bit of all those stimmy checks into paying their fed income taxes.....
Which resulted in staying even or slightly above sea level net gain.



I feel 0 remorse for the vast majority of these people pawning items.
They shoulda planned their path better long ago in the land of opportunity.

Especially if they are Liberal Socialist Democrat constituents and living off my nickel as a way of life to begin with.

I see their types and demographics in pawnshops all the time
White trash " life success story" types to NAPA,s.

And yes the economy totally suuks.
Honk for Joey...
C19 scam and election fraud.

And here is where we are at now...






Anyways here is what I scored in a pawnshop earlier today

The stress from being up against it all the time creates all sorts of problems in life, from health issues to relationship issues. It's the reason many employers look at credit rating (or proxies where illegal) when evaluating new employees. The inability to manage money creates all sorts of issues at work as well.

LOL, mystery solved, it was just r-five-oh looking for deals.....

Be careful that your outgo does not exceed your income
because then
your upkeep can be your downfall!

ya!

GWB

And even if you can keep up with the Joneses, then there's the Smiths.

I make that search every time I visit a new city. I keep hoping to beat the $300 deal I got on a ridiculously accurate Sako Deluxe L579 with Weaver 6x scope.

Sounds like CF will be Pawn Shop Crawling this week-end (instead of Bar Crawling).

Be sure to bring the wife or GF, they may spot a deal on some jewelry.

Several years ago I scored a Sig model 556 in 5.56. This is a piston powered piece and kind of odd to lots of folks. I’d wanted one for a while and these cats really didn’t know what they had. Pity…LOL! It was so full of grease and break in powder and crap. No wonder they couldn’t make it cycle right. Broke it completely down and detail cleaned, assembled and has never ftf/fte w anything you can run thru it. I love pawn shops!

A smart pawn broker wins when he buys and wins again when he sells. A good friend if mine owned a pawn shop, and I have found that he is an outstanding resource in gauging the economy.

What is your friend saying about today's economy?

I’ll see him next week when I get back from the beach. I’ll try to remember to update the thread. He also owned a lot of rental property. Another reason for him to monitor the economy.

At least sime of this is summertime related. At least around here. Criminals don’t like to be out stealing stuff in the dead of winter. Thieving picks up during the warmer seasons. Pawn shops are a great dumping ground for lots of that type of stuff.
