Anyone here ever pawned anything?

[JohnCU]

I'm bout to head back to college (and need some money) and have a nice amp and subwoofer sitting around, and there is a pawn shop down the street from me, think they'd take em? Like, do I have to have the original boxes to pawn them?

Pawn shops take just about anything. Don't expect to get much money for the items though.

I agree with minendo. I had a pretty nice pump shotgun that I used to pawn on a regular basis when I was desperate for beer money, and I got only $35 for it. It seems to me that I had to pay them back something like $50 or $55 to get my shotgun back though, which I did four or five times.

Haha... true, but you just can't beat those pawn shop owners.

ebay is way better if you want to get rid of stuff you will probably get 60 to 80% of what the value is new if it is a popular item

And he probably only gave you $5 and a 10 day window for it! (Yes, I'm stalking your threads, this is #1)

eBay is the greatest thing ever for people who want to sell their used goods. Retailers who deal in used goods always screw you over. I know at least with musical instruments, they'll offer you roughly 1/4 of the new price. I was once offered something like 70 bucks on a 500 dollar bass. :disgust:

I've never pawned anything, but I bought a 19" monitor from a pawn shop for $150 about 4-5 years ago

They probably got tired of having their stuff confiscated by the cops.

Great, my first Internet stalker. Just don't show up to my house and boil a rabbit on my stove.
