Anyone still looking through pawn shops?
I keep trying, but most of the time, I can go to Sam Ash or Guitar Center and buy used gear for just as cheap if not cheaper.
I've (over the years) bought many a nice piece of gear at an incredible price from pawn shops, but recently, they're just not useful. I suppose if I had some other need near one and just stopped in to see, it's alright, but the last 50+ times I've been in one have been a waste of time.
Last good pawn paw was in 2005 when I got my Michael Kelly Dragonfly and my Yamaha FG335 at $300 for the pair. Considering the bass was worth twice that, I was pretty pleased. Saw a nice pedal board for $150 at a shop in Florida on vacation several years ago that had a couple nice pedals I knew were worth more than the asking price, but I didn't have the money to buy, nor the inclination to (couldn't very well drive back to Florida to return it if they were wonk...)
