That's the catch, of course. The pawnshops pay next to nothing for most
items. But how are you going to "intercept" the stuff you want before
it ends up there?

If you want the bargains, you need to find the item before it lands in
the hands of the pawn shop dealer. The problem is that your competition

at garage sales, estate sales, adds in the local paper, auctions, etc.
also?
