Steve may be lucky the seller didn't run him through. That could be a sword cane.

ETA: It was sold new for $40.

Wow. Good find.

They're sold out too, he could have made a fortune. :haha:

Steve:

Poor guy, he needed that radio to see if she could dance on one foot. Now he'll never know. ;)

The end is nigh, part 27:

Steve reports that Alan is denying some? pawns because there isn't enough cash to give the pawners. This is almost certainly the end, and he just doesn't want to tell the employees. That is cash going out that would result in money coming in, either when the pawn comes out, or 5 months from now when the item is sold. It's guaranteed money, so this is really incomprehensible behavior unless Alan is thinking about closing in 5 months.

That sounds worrisome either way.

One less pawn shop ... what will the world do?
Seriously - Does this impact you somehow? If so, I'm sorry but only because of that.

It doesn't impact me directly any longer, but it's the slow end of a story I've been telling here for years. Let me know if it's self-indulgent.

No, not at all. This has been one of my favorite threads.

OK cool! I wasn't interpreting you correctly there I think.

Yeah there is no loss in the ending of a pawn shop. It would be different if it were really serving the community in any way, other than being the most convenient target of opportunity for reverse racism.

I do wonder how certain customers will manage their week-to-week lives, but not that many people are left, for whatever reason.

It will be a bummer in the tale department. I could replace it with tales from my gig but hippa and depressing sometimes.

Point of order.

You know there's no such thing as reverse racism, right? Racism is racism, and the "colors" of the racists are immaterial. A vs B, B vs A, A vs A, etc.

"You know... right?"

I beg of you not to use that construction when raising an objection

I know, right?
