just like arcade cab landfills, some of those arcade pcb's are ultra rare and at some times almost non existent, because if you don't know what you got, you throw it away.
Pawn shops are frequented by low-rent Black folk trying to fence they steal from vulnerable & elderly women >ayo how you mean five dollas? that some legit gold chain man, frick >no sir I'm afraid it's brass >BRASS homie? sheeeeit you cappin man, that some gold shit, I'mma need at least a band

I frequent pawn shops also but I'm not a Black person, I just like to buy things that are interesting
Best find so far was probably a Beretta 96D I got for like $250. Finish was all beat to hell and it looked like shit, but the barrel was in like-new condition. Sent it off and had it Cerakoted, and now it's one of my best shooters.
Probably missed out on some good deals on rifles, but I never really even looked at them until recently.
I've worked at a pawn shop and yes. Dealing with crackheads combined with people bringing you shit that's obviously stolen will make you hate people and life is general
they want you to haggle, and they overprice everything so if your a sped that hates confrontation you will pay the full price or just leave, best to avoid pawns or be ready to insult the man.
Imagine ever day for two decades or longer you have at least a dozen people come in and try to sell you broken garbage or obvious fakes then get pissed at you when you tell them
I somehow doubt it, all those cases of expensive "rare" games being sold for huge sums seem to have been scams or speculation based. Noone likes NES games enough to actually pay a bazillion bucks just to own something specific.
Anon, I'll share a secret with you. All that expensive artwork? Ridiculously high bids for various "collector's items?" That's how actual money laundering is done, not the /misc/tard type.
I've owned and sold several Warhols, one Basquiat, and one Lichtenstein. I had them legit, I don't give a frick if the art gallery was laundering some cartel or politician's money to me.
I got you, man. Personally I have "Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee” by Rembrandt hung in my man cave. Won't tell you how I got it *wink wink*. Us alphas gotta stick together. You interested in The Colossus of Rhodes? The thing is just sitting there on my drive way, I use it to help me park.

its done through watches, thats why rich people/politicans/saudis carry boxes full of them. when they travel (for business). no trail left behind and you can easily carry it with you on the plane.
this. it was unironically israelites fake selling video games to rig the market. not even a /misc/ sperg, that's just what everyone at that company that was rigging the vintage game market happened to be. A spade's a spade.
if you find a beta development version of something like Zelda or Mario it'll do massive fricking dollars assuming Nintendo doesn't send ninjas to kill you over it.
There are some exceptions but generally speaking this is true.
Nobody should be paying more than like 50 bucks for a near perfect condition Mario Bros cart. If there was proof it was Miyamoto's personal development cartridge or some shit though ok you can add some value, but still not the ridiculous prices we saw in the last couple of years while the auction scam was hittin the media
this might be the dumbest moment ever on this show. I don't expect the guy to know anything about video games or whatever, but the odds of finding the first NES built in some random deadbeat's storage unit are so infinitesimal that it shouldn't even be considered

When she walked in his thrift store for the first time, he had several NES-001 consoles sitting on the shelf. She immediately got dripping wet and tore his jean shorts off.
hate this shit. >oh look, it's some antique whatchamacallit, one sold for 2K! lets just add that to the tally LOL. >nvm the overhead involved with trying to sell some obscure, old thing that a niche group wants >the shipping costs >the rent on your shop >cleaning >gas
No no, you found a drawer full of un opened VHS tapes! WOW! thats 200 bucks right there HURRRRRRRRRR
I hate this show like you wouldn't fricking believe. Storage unit auctions were a well kept secret until this stupid ass show got big. Made good money off this since there were usually less than three people bidding and we all knew each other and made arrangements not to run the price up. Then this show came on and every moron in town started showing up thinking they were going to make a fortune.
>a box of old diapers?
>that's a 100 dollar bill right there, Brendo
yeah...says WHO????
>pat the NES wop
>oops, my collection 🙁
Shome choice stuff there in the mud.
easily fixable

>"You're money is waiting for you Larry...."
YUUUUUUUP
That guy ended up killing himself over this.
I sure hope so
he killed himself but not over this
what a moron. he lives in commiefornia, he would've been given a slap on the wrist for it even if he was found guilty.
I wish I could believe that
>I work here with my son, regular sized Hoss
why do pawn shop employees have such shitty dispositions all the time? Do they deal with bullshitters so often that they become soulless husks?
That combined with it not being honest work attracting shitty people.
>Do they deal with bullshitters so often that they become soulless husks?
yes

I occasionally pop into local shops looking for particularly undervalued guns. Hope I never end up with one with bodies on it.
Find anything interesting so far?

so you accept their first offer just to get away from them
Give them a good laugh by calling and asking for Battletoads. They love that. Really breaks up the monotony of their day.
It's not only retail but a form of retail where you have to haggle with the customer. Sounds like my personal hell
they want you to haggle, and they overprice everything so if your a sped that hates confrontation you will pay the full price or just leave, best to avoid pawns or be ready to insult the man.
Yes.
Imagine ever day for two decades or longer you have at least a dozen people come in and try to sell you broken garbage or obvious fakes then get pissed at you when you tell them
it's funny that both brothers have such similar tattoos
nice bait anon
Would there even be enough rich autists who give a frick about the NES to start a bidding war over it?
if it was an actual rare NES or game then yes. people would maybe pay peanuts for this one.

he meant it was their first console, first revision (still wrong), not the actual first one ever.
That’s a 75 dollar bill all day Brando
he paid 900 dollars for a nes? and it was broken too? nice
he bought the storage unit
then why kill himself?
He thought stealing from a cartel was a good idea.
no, anon

Is she still on the show? Hell, is it still on?
How tf did that 5'3" fat cholo pull a hot piece of ass like her?
And he runs a fricking thrift store man what the hell.

Yeah, that dumbass show expecting people to believe a fricking storage unit in goddamn Temecula had a fricking Picasso in it. What horseshit...
