Down here at the pawn shop - Page 68

It must have been an interesting buy-in: Steve posted a Facebook picture of himself wearing a tactical vest, handcuffs, and a 70 lb carbon fiber compound bow.

I don't think we are allowed to buy the bow, so probably something weird happened.

Maybe Steve bought it for himself. Once in a while, you'll get that opportunity: the pawn shop doesn't want to buy your thing, but I will buy it from you, from my personal wallet, for $10.

Let's hope Steve doesn't use that stuff to start robbin' people, you know, like robbin' the hood.

BigV · 04-11-2014, 04:19 PM

don't the handcuffs and bow work at cross purposes?

sexobon · 04-11-2014, 04:59 PM

Nah, occasionally placement is a little off and handcuffs keep 'em from hassling you while you get your arrow back.

Hoyt Carbon Matrix, or Hoyt Carbon Element, by chance?

If so, vurry nize.

Turns out Alan decided the bow was legal to buy. Sometimes you just don't look this kind of stuff up in the books. I didn't see it myself, just the pic.

Just like, last week, I was selling a bunch of WW2 memorabilia and it included a mighty trench warfare knife, and a bayonet for the M1 Garand. Stuff is so old they couldn't hurt anyone if someone did try to stab you. But they were bought in, although it is weaponry, and I sold them. (There was also a gas mask and a pair of Army issue binoculars. I guess we briefly became Pawn Stars for a day.)

Sometimes I get to write a more colorful eBay listing.

My eyes kept trying to cross whilst reading that.

ETA: Nevermind, the listing didn't display properly the first time. The lines of text were all overlapping on first viewing. It's all good now...

glatt · 04-16-2014, 03:00 PM

Nice copy. Will it sell?

Undertoad · 04-16-2014, 03:14 PM

It should go for like $350-400. I don't know why it has that display problem... I saw it too, and then, same thing, it cleared up... can't address that right now...

Nice eulogy/tribute, Tony.

Should have been a paperback writer.

But WTF?

Very nice! I hope you get a little boost in the bidding due to the entertainment value.

Spexxvet · 04-18-2014, 09:11 AM

This might be the most compelling thread in The Cellar. Thanks, Tony

as you were

Undertoad · 04-18-2014, 09:16 AM

Thank you sir. It is 100% true as I have noted before.
