Is anyone really finding gems at pawn shops anymore?

Yeah, it seems almost everyone is getting wise to selling online or at least checking what things are worth. The people who used to see 80's metal CD's and said "look at these 80's metal garbage CD's, let's just get rid of em" now look online and see some are worth $$ and no more dollar or two 80's metal CD's in their bins or racks. I do find some rare gems occassionally still, which is cool.

The only pawn shops in my neck o'the woods are in areas where I don't feel safe going to. So for all I know there could be treasure troves of Hard Rock and Metal CDs in them but I'm too chicken sh*t to find out. :lol:

 

But hey, I may have to go to Paterson for Jury Duty next month, maybe I'll have time to look a few of 'em up on a lunch break. Ya never know.

speaking of being scared to go in a pawn shop. one time when i was in a pawn shop in the bad area of town several years ago the place got held up! No kidding! The guy behind the counter hit a panic and button and the cops showed up and stormed in, arrested the guys and left. I sat there crouched on the floor watching the whole thing! Hard to believe but this is a true story, no bulshit!! I had found 2-3 good things when the whole thing happened. When the cops drug the guys out I got up and walked to the front counter. The guy behind the counter told me take the stuff I had and go ahead and leave(he was pretty rattled!). This was about 7 years ago. I think i've been back into a pawn once or twice since! Once in the while i'll still risk my life to find quality cds!!!

True story!!!!!!!!

Maybe it's my low standards, but Seattle surprises me daily. Still a pretty good place with many stores to chose from!

 

That said STAY AWAY! :)

 

Yep! I agree!

Nah CD's are gone the way vinyl started to go and VHS tapes pawn shops are not really taking them anymore the digital age has arrived, starting to head towards the collectors only realm.

    • Bringing politics into a post about a band we are all here to celebrate isn't a good look, and that's coming from me, a right winger, because somebody would like a proper real release as in the original artwork and the way we bought it in 86 isn't being a right winger, it's being a good audiophile, I too think it's absurd to finally give this album a proper release after waiting so long for it, then to completely alter it for the sake of what? it's a re-release, that is going to be bought by people who already know what it is, and not some clueless stick figure buying it on a whim, It just kind of feels like a slap in the face, primarily because we all have a semi good idea as to why it's being changed, and that isn't right wing, that's actually left wing these days, so should I not buy it cause its altered? just to make a political point? I mean since you aren't concerned about him being offended? well I guess I could be labeled "others", and I would think you'd be a bit more understanding why someone would be irked over the decision, and it aint because they voted for Trump or Biden, but if me and him don't buy it you'd be losing a sale right? you can say you don't care, but if everybody didn't buy it to make a point, then you'd care, so why play to the people who aren't going to buy it regardless? instead of the people waiting decades for it to be released? that's all he's saying, you don't gotta be an asshole. If you knew him you'd know how horrible calling him a right winger is to him, as I assure you he's not, I feel I gotta say something, I blew it off originally but since the curtain got pulled back I feel the same way he does, but I'm not gonna fight over it, and it is a valid feeling and im sure others possess it, so you can call me all the names you want, talk about my mom, or my ex, you can trash me and my politics, I welcome it, but you really don't gotta bag on somebody for being a little put off over a 1st time release and the only CD release of an album many of us here love, BTW, regardless what you say to me, I'll still buy it, and I still appreciate what your doing even if I disagree with how your doing it, cool bro. now lets here what a fascist i am.
