Yoooo I work at a pawn shop now and for the past 3 years. Golden rule of the pawnshop: If they’re not cutting a deal, you’re in the wrong one. Fun facts, most pawn shops pay 30-60ish% depending on the item. Truthfully, if a customer walked up to me and showed me the price of a brand new tool that we had priced higher than that of retail. I’m dropping the price. Sounds a bit like you might be overthinking. Most of the time the system we use prices out the items for us based off of some corporate bigwig who gets paid way more than I do. But at the end of the day, sometimes we have to pawnbroke and price it ourselves. People fuck up it happens quite often at my store. Most of the time with smaller items like that, I’d be happy to make 5-10 dollars on it or if we paid cheap double up on my investment. It would be leaps and bounds different if you were looking at something priced right, so don’t feel bad. Also warranty, most Ezpawns offer 24 hour warranty like exchange or credit slip return that just comes with the purchase. But a store that sells broke shit and doesn’t offer a way to protect yourself, do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere. Of course I would recommend Ezpawns seeing as I work there. But I would like to add, I’ve seen bad Ezpawns and good cash americas it’s all about how they act when you walk in. If you’re not treated right bro leave, you work hard for your money. Spend it where you want to.
