Default Pawn Shop Bargains ...

Snag sez:

"I think we may see a change in that , Robert . At least around here , there
seem to be more people pawning stuff , and fewer buyers . Ten bucks profit
each on twenty transactions beats 40 bucks each on no transactions ..."

You are probably right. My reply was based on experience over 5 years old during the height of the
