Look what walked in>>>>>>
So, I own a small pawn shop in a very small town and I am a WIS at heart. I don't see high end timepieces come in often. But today a man comes in with this Sub and it is love at first sight!(I am weak for Subs). We come to terms and now, needless to say, it's on my wrist! And on my drink, I just got home.

I never understand why people would go to a pawn shop...sell it yourself if you need cash that bad

He might need the drink more than you after the sellers remorse sets in.

Cool story, nice to see someone with an actual interest in a watch at a pawn shop as opposed to simple opportunists. Congratulations and wear it happily.

People go to pawn shops because they need money on the spot....if they want to sell themselves, it could take days...maybe even months....that's the difference.

Don't get too attached until the expiration date on the load passes. The owner may miss his watch and pay you off.

Im guessing that since he took it home...
that it was SOLD to the pawn shop as opposed to a loan...
