That second pic is funny as shit, but I don't get the ripoff aspect. I mean, it is the same principle as selling your gear to GC. They aren't going to pay you retail, or even used price similar to CL. They are going to pay you half of what they can sell it for, if you are lucky. They have to make money. They have overhead and expenses. It is a business. They also let you just pawn shit there and get it back and they make the interest. It's not for everyone, but it is for people that need quick money. Notice where they are located and you can see how they can be so successful.
