Pawn shops Are Great Places To Shop

This site has inventory from many pawn shops. Many will ship.

You can also use that site to get an idea of used gun prices in the real world.

Assuming, of course, Internet coomerce is the real world.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

A good place to look is when Gun Shops change ownership. I was shooting Thompson Center Contenders mostly because I love handloading and shooting "wildcats". This place had old stock that was priced like 20 years ago. So basically a third or a quarter of the current MSRP.

I bought all the barrels and flipped them at the next Gun Show. I sold everything I didn't want for myself in less than a hour.

I never would have never got into 22 Hornet if I didn't get that barrel for free.

As far as getting a deal from pawnshops or anything else, I look at it this way; if there's a $100 bill on the ground, I'm picking it up. If I don't, some one else will. It's all part of the game.

Let's be real. We don't know the history of the majority of used stuff being sold online or in person, especially firearms. Were the firearms sold because of divorce, separation, need for fast money, etc.? Who knows. If I held myself to that hardship standard, I'd very seldom buy anything used.

But again, if there's $100 bill on the ground, I'm picking it up putting in my pocket, and I don't care what the story is.

I'd be willing to bet that 98% would pick it up, too. The 2% wouldn't admit it!

I'm not one to blame the shops. Most of the shops I have been in do have a lot of little junk..orobably from poor folks I am not the cause of someone being poor and yep. we were poor when I was a kid. We did have food cause my father was a fisherman...so we had seafood...I no Longer eat seafood...and we ate game I got hunting from 9 years old. I did things to make money from the age of 10...I even got to keep a little. It was a family and we all pitched in. . I am certain there ae a lot more here that had it hard. Made me want to work to make 'nuff money to live. I'm sorry for the poor folk but it's not the pawn brokers fault they are in their condition...and I can guarantee you...there are some that helped the poor..
