cash converters

[pi]

However I did find a bargain at a local pawn shop the other day. Ended up paying $75 per bag

wonder how much did they pay for it? :/

I think that someone who didn't know any better got shafted

Most pawn shop business is cash loans rather than buying and selling.
This is a common misconception aided by the reality TV shows I suspect.

It's highly likely they are the result of a defaulted loan.
Some people will only want a small loan in relation to the collateral they have to offer, so that it is easier to repay.
Unfortunately life can throw curveballs and people with solid intentions of redeeming their goods are all of a sudden unable to.

Nice pickup by the way.
Obviously the pawnbroker is not a stacker...

I wet into a cash converters a couples of times to look for bargains and didn't like the deadbeats and drug addicts that hang around them. So ditched the idea of buying anything from there coz don't want something I buy to be covered in drugs or stolen.

just found out they suppose to keep everything for 3 months before selling in case any item is stolen. and the ID requirements is BS.
