Changes in DNA are not birth defects.

Yeah, I meant to mention that.

Pretty authoritative lurking!

Aliantha · 02-06-2013, 07:16 AM

Hey Lab, good to see ya.

There are many good things about the shop, and sometimes I don't point them out enough.

Today I was listing items on eBay, and the last item I put off until I can give it enough time to do it correctly. I realized it was my next item when I only had about a half hour to go. I think this one deserves about an hour of time.

It's a Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar, and it is... some years old. Where some is probably more than 30. It's in the original Gibson case. What I realized is that I didn't consider dating the guitar via the serial number. If this is something old, or rare, it could be worth...

Yeah: dot dot dot!

The pawn shop experience is definitely not Pawn Stars, but once in a while there is something like this, where we get something cool or interesting.

Like it or loathe it, shops like this provide a necessary service to people who rarely have access to any other form of in-time financial assistance. Better that than a loan shark.

It was an epiphany when I realized that my bank fees were much MUCH greater than the pawn interest fees. Around here the middle class is being raped in bank fees.
