NCRich 13,746 Posted January 31, 2020 LOL, I have never in my life been to a pawn shop. Maybe I should change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here you will find multitudes of firearms, electronics and jewelry...most of it stolen. I dont think you see a lot of watches because the store owners dont know enough about them to know if they are fake or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't frequent the shops, but I know that the pawn shops in Jacksonville near my beach place have the standard assortment of late teens early 20's stuff. Scuba gear, rims, stereo, i-stuff, some watches. Just representative of a very transient population. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbylah 135 Posted January 31, 2020 Back when I was dating my wife I asked if she wanted to go with me check out a pawn shop I had been planning to visit. She heard 'Porn Shop'. That was a fun conversation! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RussP 22,200 Posted February 12, 2020 The pawn shops that I visit have the likes of Loyal and a wide range of cheap(er) quartz watches. Your pawnshop seems almost 'upmarket' by comparison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyh7 235 Posted February 12, 2020 Pretty exceptional display for a UK pawn shop. Hard to be sure from the pics, but the prices look good too. Care to share where in the uk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyh7 235 Posted February 12, 2020 In the sunny South, Tony, haha It's grim opp north! I spent yesterday at an antique centre near Chorley, hoping to maybe have a look at some nice vintage Omegas. There was one (overpriced) Cyma, and loads of quartz Seikos and Casios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adit 642 Posted February 28, 2020 I tried on a nice Explorer with a jubilee bracelet. It was as-new and I liked it more than I thought I would...but then again, it was a genuine Rolex, so no surprise really I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
