difficult to hold anything with them retracted when you can't bend your fingers

unless they retract all the way back to the proximal phalanges

i worked at a pawn shop for a while. ime they're not nice places

they are however great places to get weird poo poo for cheap, so it's impossible to say if they're bad or not

i worked in one for 5 years and learnt a lot about hifi, jewellery, cameras, and bunch of other weird poo poo

the one i worked in was pretty nice as these things go though (nuttalls in chch for those cursed enough to remember christchurch in the 90s and early 2000s)

i wont shop at most of the pawn chains here because for some loving reason they fingerprint you not only when selling but also when buying

their rates are bad aren't they? not quite loan shar, but not much better, right? and if you are going to them it means you've already or are currently about to be squeezed by some other part of the system

before ebay they were where you took poo poo you wanted to sell but didn't want to put out a classified or whatever and deal with that. it's not all stuff in hock

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
not everything is in hock, but ime people selling stuff to a pawn shop need the money and don't have better options, and since the business model involves paying pennies on the dollar for everything, it tends to be exploitative no matter what

idk, my job was just testing and fixing poo poo. i wasn't legally old enough to work in my province, but there's a certain moral flexibility in some of these places.

did anyone ever try to literally sell some weird poo poo

i've found a duck decoy carved out of cedar that i'm going to paint or draw on or something. i also found a big bag of tangram blocks that i gave to my nephew, and a pretty decent end table for $20. you can also find poo poo like japanese katana swords and fantasy knives for your already extensive yet incomplete collection

the one time I need to go to a pawn shop, it was the one place I knew where I could buy one of these cheaply (mine was black):



i was moving out on my own, and being economical by buying one device instead of two. Ended up using it for a little over seven years
