[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1874705, member: 711"] I was in a pawnshop several years ago looking at an average CZ-52 which was worth, at the time, maybe $125. It was marked $400. I told the pawnshop guy that if he sold it for that, he should go to confession. He explained that while he and I both knew what the gun was worth, some ignoramus was going to come in, try to lowball him at $250 or so, and get a "steal" for $295 out the door. I said "you are a child of satan--go in peace." He laughed and told me never to get into the pawnshop business if I wanted to succeed. Having said that, there are some pretty good pawnbrokers out there. For many, ethics is something that sounds a little like the name of a classic car. . . CB [/QUOTE]
