The other day I had to take my Enfield into pawn for some extra income until my schedule picks back up, and I didn't want to drive two towns over to get the money(the whole cost of fuel vs. value battle) so Dad and I decided to give a closer, local pawn shop our business.
Now, I bought this Enfield from another pawn shop for roughly $300, and I know for a fact that they're going for just a smidge more than that online currently, but I wasn't expecting to get anywhere near that amount. So I bring it into the local shop, set it on their counter, tell them I need a loan on it, tell them a bit about it. What do they offer me?
Well, first they didn't want to take it, saying that nobody wants old rifles like that nowadays Riiiiight. Then they said they'd give $75 for JUST THE BAYONET. I was very insulted. I grabbed my rifle and I left. On the way out I muttered things that were most low-road.
We took it to the pawn shop I bought it from, two towns over, and $150 without even having to haggle. I probably coulda gotten more, but I don't want to owe more.
Anyone here ever get so insulted with what people have offered you involving your weapons that it just made you lose your cool? I know my old Enfield isn't much, but I know full well what it's worth, as well as what to expect out of value. But an amount that low.....That wasn't right.
I was reminded of the episode of South Park where Cartman says his mom does certain things to him because he couldn't get an Ipad...
