I used to find some great stuff at pawn shops, but that was a long time ago. They have gotten pretty pricey as of late

yeah, the internet killed 99.99% of the good pawn shop finds. So easy to do research, no more saying I'll give ya`150 bucks for that old strat from the 50's :lol: :LOL:

was the reserve met? It looks like it at $110k. That isn't a lot of profit for those guys they typically want 40-60% profit margins so I was thinking they want $180 for it :)

Especially if it cost 90k and then you take out Ebay fees and all. Joke all you want, the guy then has a business to run with actual overhead, and payroll, and taxes and consultant fees. Those guys he calls aren't his friends doing him a favor, and even if they are...they are most likely expecting consulting fees. Nothing is free in this world. Bottom line is, if someone that brings him something felt like they could do better on their own, they would.

The maximum eBay fee is $100 - so as long as they didnt pay via PayPal I think they did OK :lol: :LOL:

"9.0% of the item's total cost to buyer with a maximum charge of $100.00."
