You're right there! I recently moved to a new town and found a pawn
shop that had pretty reasonably priced machinist's tools, old but good
quality. I bought quite a few over the next year, then walked in one
day to find all the prices quadrupled. They wanted $12 for a tubing
cutter that costs $3.50 new on any hardware store. The guy killed the
goose. I haven't been back since.
