Deal and no deal at local pawn

Eh the dreaded Pawn Shop I have done a tid bit of research on pricing there They Pawn Shops claim they pay 65% of the value it is more like 10% if the seller is lucky.. Now I have had one (Pawn Shop) suggest I allow them to post it on Gun Broker well they (Pawn Shop) "SAID" only 20% of sell value will be kept plus I`d pay for shipping. When I asked why shipping is charged at both Ends? I got a run around of me accusing them of dishonest practices. I asked please bear with me Why am I charged shipping as the Buyer on Gun Broker I pay the amount I am to pay PLUS a shipping fee. Why does the seller need to pay? About that time a few heads snapped up at the counter and I was escorted Out. Pawn Shops are RIP OFF Artist Occasionally a good deal can be found but Eh Big Box and Pawn Shops basically Triple charge out and Any weapon Worth up to $500 If I can get $100 out of the shop I am doing good. $600+ if $150 is offered I am Lucky. Pawn Shops USED to be reputable dealers those days collapsed in the 90`s. Glad you got a fair offer

I am not a wheeler dealer. I don't negotiate. I've always lost on everything I've sold. When I go to a pawn shop, I act like I'm in a retail store. That's the price? Ok, here. I was happy with the offer, I guess I could have gotten a little more if I wanted to play the game, but I don't play. They knew I was a sucker when I didn't argue. A couple days later, I called about the P380. I talked to Queen of the Pawn Shop, she said it was still there, I said $334 right (that was on the tag I thought), she said yes. I went right up there ready to pay $334++. One of the guys, maybe her hubby, I don't know, helped me. When we got back to the counter, I said $334? It was actually $324, I said that's better, and he says "I quoted you $275", I just looked at him, I knew he was helping me out. The Queen yelled out from the back $334! HE yelled back "I quoted him $275". Maybe he felt sorry for me because I'm a sucker. But I'm not a wheeler dealer. When I sell something, it is to a wheeler dealer, and I get screwed. But, they aren't all bad. Maybe he only gave $150 for it, or less, which make me wonder what's wrong with it. This is one of those, it's either good, or it's real bad. Most reviews are real good, but there are bad ones. I'll get it to the range in a couple weeks.
