    I really like that you have prices on items. Very professional.

    There’s a local pawn shop that you have to ask the price of everything, and when you do the store owner pulls up the past eBay sales to decide what price to charge you for the product. He doesn’t have a clue what he all has, or what any of it is worth. If the product is unique then you might get a good deal, but that’s only if he can’t find an eBay price to quote.

    For customers bringing stuff in (I’ve only tested retro games) he pulls up the price charting website and decides his price biased on The lowest amount there. Which is always lower then eBay prices.

    If you call him out on it, and tell him to use the same website for both evaluations then he gets all pissie with the customer.

    Example. You want to trade Mario 2 for Mario 3. He looks on price charting to see the valu for mario 2 (let say it’s $5). The monitor is in view of the customer so you can see the price of $5 too. Right next to it you can see mario 3 valued at (let’s say $10). But he will close that webpage open eBay if front of you and search previously sold items. Then he will say that his mario 3 is worth (let’s say $35). When waiting for him to search eBay I can also search eBay on my phone to see that mario 2 is worth (let’s say $30). But he will offer you $5 on trade credit and then charge you $35 plus tax. I understand that pawn shops need to make money but use the same evaluation process for comparison.
