UT, in contrast, what percentage of those stored items might the pawn shop have been interested in (rough guess)?

There is nearly zero overlay!
The pawn shop will only take in things that have a predictable eBay value. The pawn shop needs a model number and a few eBay sales to show it can be sold again, with zero risk. So it does not deal in antiques.
Andy will only take things in that he secretly thinks have value. He doesn't bother checking eBay values of stuff. Sometimes he's right, other times he's wrong. It's not a good system, but there are a few things he actually knows about.
For instance, he has worked out that old gas cans sell for unexpectedly high numbers, and whenever he sees one, he grabs it up. (It's because the
new gas cans suck.)
He knows that there are certain sets of Ghostbusters action figures that will fetch really big bucks. After my time there, he now knows that there's also a set that fetches nothing, and he's stuck with a bunch from that era.
