Pawn shops FTW!!!!!

I went to a few one day nothing worth commentating on. I think I need to go to a higher crime rate community to get some "steals".

I know its a business or whatever but damn. I had a house mate come up short on rent one month so he went to sell his DvD player and his TV. Damn shop only gave him 15 bucks total for both. I woulda just paid his way if I knew that in advance

You gotta realize that you can either pawn stuff.....or "sell" it. if you pawn it, they will charge you maybe $1.50 for every $10 they gave you toget your stuff back. the people dumb enough to give their stuff up for that cheap didnt want it back or never picked it up within the 30 days or so they giveyou.......most of the stuff is being sold now because they are broke and need the money.
 
yep, sellin to pawn stores is basically suicide.

Too bad there aint a single one within 30 miles of my dam house

pawn shop ethics...

[h1]DAVE RAMSEY: Ethics not jeopardized by pawn shop buying[/h1]

Dear Dave: Do you see an ethical dilemma involved in buying things like repossessed cars, houses that have been through foreclosure, or even pawn shop items? While these kinds of purchases can be smart and thrifty, I worry sometimes that I'm taking advantage of those who are stuck in a bad financial cycle. - Ryan

Dear Ryan: You've raised an important question. You sound like a fair and caring person, and I appreciate that. However, I don't think there's any kind of ethical issue involved when you buy items where you have nothing to do with their sale, and no control over it. If your intention in any transaction is to harm or take advantage of someone, then what you're doing is wrong. For example, you shouldn't loan someone money at 40 percent in hopes that you can take their stuff because they can't pay. I never make a deal that's not a win-win situation.

I buy lots of things at the pawn shop. If someone pawns something, and later I can get a bargain, you bet I'll buy it. As far as a house is concerned, is it worse for the other person to sell the house to you, or to go through foreclosure? With the latter, they've already been foreclosed on, so you're buying it from the bank. You're not taking advantage of them by doing this.

If someone is in a bad situation, and buying their stuff will help keep things from getting worse, that's a blessing. In some cases you're assisting them in turning their lives around
