I go to pawn shops all the time.
I just bought a camera that was on sale for 199.99 (216.00 with tax) at Office Depot, regular price 249.99, I found the same camera at a pawn shop off SW Military, I can't remember the sticker price but it was 25% off and the total came out to 120.00, that's a savings of about 100.00....
Needless to say I took the other camera back to Office Depot.
I'd be interested to know what pawn shop you are referring to.
