Yes! But I bought it, so sorry you no get!




Saw it in the pawn shop case, at $30... Had the balls to ask for it at $20... settled on $25, ran home yelling hooray for me!

Needs cleaned up before it goes on ebay, but yeah... good stop at the pawn shop.

AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



You sir are a lucky man. I have two 940's one half serration and the other straight.

Good find! I had a similar event a few years ago. I found 3 different Pre benchmade Pacific Cutlery Corp at a pawn shop with $5 price tags, sold one for $350 and still have two!

[maldon007]

I put it up last night late, at $99 starting bid, it's at $109 now... Only 6 and a half days left!

Oh yeah, I took it all the way apart first, cleaned out the lint & gunk and gave all the steel parts a light oil... Now that it's real pretty, I REALLY just want to keep it

Oh yeah, since the belt clip was a little rough, I refinished it... soooo shiny

Here is the new one, they even had this one mislabeled as a smith & wesson swat knife... Which I think they had priced at $69 a few inches away



I give you, the Benchmade Mel Pardue Gentelmans Knife (not really giving it to you, unless you really want$ it)


Talked them down to $15 on this one... And they have one more I need, but I didnt have the $20 for the titanium Kershaw ATS34 (not shown, cause I didn't get it yet)







...me thinks some kid pawned his daddy's knives

Awesome find, guys. You'd be amazed at what shows up in a pawn store from time to time, and yes the owners ARE aware of the real value of some of what they carry. They just make too much to give a damn.

Case in point: I was looking for a handheld flash unit for my SLR camera and came across an old but perfectly functional Sunpak. Sunpaks are top of the line, professional grade flashes.

Their website: http://sunpak.com/sunpakflash.html

The one I was looking at had a marked value of $200. Their asking price: twenty. I asked the cashier if it was right, he confirmed it. I asked him if it worked, he thought so but sold as is. I gave him twenty dollars, went home and tested it. Worked like a charm and it's in my camera bag.

I went back the other day to pick up the titanium Kershaw they had for $29 (got them down to low twenties before, but didn't have enough to get both knives at the time)... And it was gone ...Oh well, someone got a deal.

But I picked up a ZOOM guitar amp (small practice) that is in great shape, but the speaker plate was (is) loose/stripped screws, for $20 out the door... Cleaned it up, it works great, fixing the plate now. Will be worth at least $75 or so when I'm done. This pawn is by far my favorite!

good scores!

some time back i got a brand new leatherman wave for 40.00.....

Great job!
I love the local pawn shops but lately they have been a little bare.
I hope they can stay in business... I love getting DVDs for $2

Not to turn this into a pissing contest because, God knows, my penis is large enough, but I can top your Leatherman Wave story.

About a year ago I was wandering through the local PS waiting for something to catch my eye. I noticed a pouch in the case that I thought would be useful for something. When the clerk took it out and I looked, I found a pristine Wave. The clerk thought there was something missing or broken but I couldn't see anything wrong with it so I bought it.

Purchase price?

$6

That's not a typo. Six US Dollars

My face hurt for 3 days from all the smiling...
