I’ve never been in a pawn shop.....where are they usually located?

Used to be in the poorer sections of towns and cities, now it seems they are everywhere. Middle class and upper middle strip shopping centers in my area. Most are in distress now and if you bargain with them you can buy lower than their retail prices. They got stuck with a bunch of inventory in the crash and are still digging out.

I know a pawn broker friend who got out before the crash, he is wealthy by the way, and he told me it was just in time. Few buyers too much stuff. I still buy from the retired pawn broker, lead dispensers and supplies, he did not auction all his inventory.

You can get some good buys at pawn shops. I also frequent thrift stores. I only buy something maybe 10% of the time though.

In large cities with drug problems it seems. Ask an addict.
