What ever you see, make them an offer for 1/4 less than what they advertise it for. Remember, they did not pay top dollar for it and all they want to do is turn some cash. Guns are always a rip off, unless its a hard to find model, then price is what you are willing to spend.

That's how I felt about going into a sex shop for the first time, but then, that was a sex shop, not a pawn shop. I am at a loss why you would be nervous about going into a pawn shop; do you think there is some social stigma attached to them or something?

Does he also own a white van?

There's a pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
And I walk up and down 'neath the clock
By the pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
But I ain't got a thing left to hock

She was peaches, she was honey, and she cost me all my money
'cause a whirl 'round the town was her dream
Took her dancin', took her dinin' till her blue eyes were shinin'
With the sights that they never had seen
If you should run into a golden-haired angel
And ask her tonight for a date
She'll tell you somewhere there's a rich millionaire
Who is calling again about eight

There's a pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
And I've just gotta get five or ten
From the pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Gotta be with my angel again

She was peaches, she was honey, and she cost me all my money

And ask her tonight for a date
She'll tell you somewhere there's a rich millionaire
Who is calling again about eight

And I've just gotta get five or ten
From the pawnshop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Gotta be with my angel again
Gotta be with my angel again

Pawn shops are like yard sales. You have to go to several and return every so often to find the deals.

Down there at the pawn shop it's only way to shop
Down there at the pawn shop if it's not in stone
Down there at the pawn shop at no end, no way to shop

Down there at the pawn shop what has been told
Albino made of stone just remember that it's flesh and bone

So, why I'm down here at the pawn shop
Down here at the pawn shop..down here at the pawn shop..down here at the pawn shop
What has been sold, not strictly made of stone
Just remember that it's flesh and bone

And I have heard, like dike-a-bird yeah
But just remember that it's flesh and bone
So why I'm down here at the pawn shop..down here at the pawn shop

Go!...right!...huh that's right

Down here at the pawn shop it's a nifty way to shop
Down here at the pawn shop it's another sold
Down here at the pawn shop what has been sold
Not strictly made of stone just remember that it's flesh and bone

What has been sold not strictly sold please remember that it's flesh and bone
Down here at the pawn shop..down here at the pawn shop

Down here at the pawn shop..down here at the pawn shop-yop-yop
Hu ooh go! see......
