We were driving through Longview on Monday and we saw a sign on the back side of a building that said Pawn Shop. Sure I've seen Pawn Stars, Cajun Pawn and Hard Core Pawn on TV and I've seen The Pawn Broker. I went into a pawn shop to look around when I was much younger, but I didn't fully appreciate how cool these places can be.
I've been to Goodwill and other thrift stores in the past and have been under-whelmed with what they have to offer and I rarely buy from them. It was at the pawn shop where I realized that you can find things of value that have been pawned and the things of little or no value end up at the thrift shops.
At this pawn shop I could have purchased a 25 gallon compressor, a 5,000 Watt generator, and a wire welder each for around $125. My wife ended up getting a cool watch and a digital camera. I bought a pocket watch to replace my cell phone since that is all I use my phone for and I bought a new two burner propane camp stove which REI has for $70. We got everything for $50.
I am now addicted to Pawn!
