I’m friendly with a guy who owns one, and it seems that all the private owned pawn shops have specialties. Like one specializes in audio equipment, another guns and stuff, and another tools, for example. You’ll get the best deals selling to a guy who specializes in what you’re selling, but he also knows how to price his stuff. If you go to the audio guy and look at his tools, you can typically get a better deal that shopping for tools at the tool pawn shop. The pawn shop off nw27th (ish) and may has some tool deals sometimes, he mostly sells audio equipment. Great guy. I bought a brand new dewalt biscuit jointer off him for $40 a few years back, and got a few wrenches off him too. I hate to put this out in the open, but I don’t turn wrenches much anymore, so I guess I can spread the wealth. Pawn sharks in Newcastle was my used tool honey hole after the tool stall at old Paris closed down. Bought a $2200 set of  1 3/8-2 1/2 wright combination wrenches from them for $400 out the door. Sold them a year later for triple what I paid because they were just so dang heavy. The beam on the 2 1/2” wrench was the same size as my wrist. Another memorable deal was when I picked up a lightly used long handle flex head snap on 1/2” drive ratchet off them for $35. Keep an eye on them, they have a 40% off sale on everything in their store once or twice a year.</blockquote>
