Well, didn't see any scrollsaw there, but I doubt I would have
bought one there anyway. Of the prices I looked at, I think all of them
were as high, or higher (most), than new prices. And, most of the stuff
was far from new.

Pawnshops buys ain't no bargains anymore.

When the gambling boats came to town, pawnshops sprung up around them
like dandelions after a spring rain. I used to drop in once in a while
expecting to find a bargain or two. My experiences were much the same
as yours. Worn-out tools for nearly new prices. I don't even bother
going in anymore even though there's practically one on every corner.
I don't know much about how the pawnshop business operates, but they
must be making their money some other way.
