UT, how do I get the best experience pawning something? At work, they were throwing away bluray players from an old patent case. Most of them had been disassembled and really were trash, but a handful of them worked. And various employees got to take them home. I brought a Panasonic one home for personal use, but there was one left over that was put out for the trash. I took it, and want to pawn it because I can't be bothered with Ebay and shipping.
This thing is basically new, although the foam packing was thrown away. The remote control and batteries and cables are all still shrink wrapped in the box. It was a top of the line bluray player when it came out 5 years ago, and I just looked on Ebay and found only one completed listing (with 25 bids) for $320 and that was for a used one missing its remote. Other newer different models by this company go for a lot more and I think there are just fewer of this particular model on the market.
Should I call the pawn shop first and ask if they will buy it? Do I just show up with it? If these go on Ebay for $320, what can I reasonably expect to be paid for one? How long would they take to inspect the thing? It never came with any connector cables, just a power cord. Should I bring my own RCA cords from home so they can hook it up and test it, or will they have that stuff?
FYI, this is a Cambridge Audio azur BD650BD-B Region A/CU Blu-ray Disc Player
There's a pawn shop a 15 minute walk from my office.
