>That object is worth $1,500 so i'll buy it for $500 and then i'll sell it to someone else for $1,500 that way i'll be making profit and you won't
Why aren't these fuckers in jail for scamming people?

Jewery is a practice old as time, there’s a reason it’s legal.

idiots that don't know how capitalism works.

same reason people pay $1.50 for a can of soda instead of buying the 2L bottle for half that.

wow that was hard

Has no one heard of the internet on this fucking show?
>No deal, thanks for the appraisal though

True capitalism is when it's $2+ for a 0.5L bottle of water but $1 for the 2L bottle of water.

It goes like this:
You're free to find a private buyer or sell it to a pawnshop for a quick buck. You are also free to open your own pawnshop with all the liability that comes with it. Ultimately it's up to the individual.

>I have this random doodad that only 200 people in all of America would be willing to buy
>It might take months to sell it
>I could always go to the Pawn Shop and get rid of it and get a fraction of the money back, but at least I'll have money today
That's the mindset of the idiots who would actually sell valuable items to a Pawn Shop. Alternatively lots of people who are lousy with money will "pawn" valuables just for temporary cash and pay a small monthly interest fee until they have the money to get the item back. It's generally very stupid to Pawn stuff and especially stupid to just sell to them, but that's the business. At least they are the real scumbags aka Payday Loans.

>scamming
They're willing to get the item off their hands immediately versus waiting an unknown length of time for the right buyer to show up to purchase it for what it is allegedly "worth". It depends what the person that has the item values more: a moderate chunk of cash NOW, or a potentially larger pile of cash down the line at an unknown date

I have this stolen item. I could sell it but that would tie me to a chain of custody based off of insurance, police reports, and serial numbers. Or I can just get cash from this pawn shop and live to steal another day.

This. It’s not their obligation to help some bottom of the barrel schlub who wants to make a bad decision.

But prostitution is the oldest profession of all time so why is it illegal?
John Walker
Business 101: You never charge based on what anything is worth - you charge the maximum that someone is willing to pay. And you pay the least amount that someone else is willing to sell it for. This is the way the world works and I hope you're underage for your own sake.

Nobody sells to pawn shops unless they're retarded or desperate. The only time I've even been in a pawn shop was when I was a teenager and needed money for beer and cigarettes. Non retarded, non desperate people just sell things themselves. Usually online nowadays since it's incredibly easy. I'm amazed there are even still this many pawn shops in business.

I literally just bought a collection of Magic the gathering cards from a local pawn shop for 320 bucks that was worth 6.5k minimum.
I feel like I scammed the pawn shop who did no research, and the pawn shop scammed the crackhead who brought it in.
Isaac Kelly
I go into my local pawn shop to buy xbox games for 2 dollars each every now and then. Each time, the people there selling things are either junkies or illegal immigrants.
Robert Smith
Pawnbroker here. The bread & butter of our industry is interest on loans, not purchases. If someone really wants to sell I will give an offer but almost always suggest that they take the time & effort to sell their property on craigslist / offer up / ebay / in order to get the most money possible.
I've never really watched much of this show but what I've seen is clearly scripted. I'll stick around for a bit to answer questions if anyone wants to know how a pawn shop operates (in my area at least).
Brody Martin
how many times have you been shot?
Isaac Gutierrez
How often does an item turn out to be stolen? & If the police take an item the store paid for as evidence, do they reimburse you the store it?
Luke Morales
Not once in 16 years, knock on wood. We have 3-4 armed guards at any given moment, & there's no less than 3 firearms behind the counter.
Leo Miller
how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood
Sebastian Reyes
good for you for being cautious.
James Moore
What happens if the merchandise is hot and you gave a loan or bought it? The Pawn Shop would have to turn the product over to the police right?
Nicholas Flores
it's 50% a service. walk in this door and trade an object for as much cash as he'll fork over.
>no researching
>no talking to multiple people
>no debating
>no effort on your part whatsoever
if you wanna put in effort for more money, sure go for it. conider how much your time is worth while you look for the one guy on the planet who gives a flying fuck about the ultra rare 3 of them in the world misprint dollar bill with a testicle on washington's left eye
Carter Diaz
Very rarely. I'm in a large metropolitan area, in a well-established shop with maybe 50-100 loans per day. In 2019 I think there were 2 police holds throughout the whole year. Used to be more back in the day.
The laws in our state are very gray when it comes to reimbursement. I think there's only one statute in which a victim is legally required to reimburse the shop, and that's if they willingly decline to participate in prosecution of the alleged suspect. Otherwise there's no explicit legal process and it's more of whoever you can get the money from (if at all).
