It used to be the ones in Nashville,Tenn. or in towns with large military bases where you'd find the widest selection. Hard times are resulting in a booming business for pawnshops. And since their records of transactions are open to law enforcement, you can make a purchase without feeling that you may be getting stolen goods. It helps to take your time and carefully examine items before the purchase.It's also fun to try to get the listed price lowered. Overstock means bargains.
