So, I’ve never been to a pawn shop before. I’m curious what’s there, but TV makes them seem shady and odd. What should I know before I visit? I’m sort of expecting a cross between an antique and a thrift store, that sort of vibe.

I’m in the USA and don’t intend to pawn anything.

      No, you’re not getting shot for that.

      And it absolutely depends where you live. But hard pawn shops, where they’ve seen enough shit, haggling will make your price go up or just get you a “get the fuck out.”

      Proximity to weapons is a reasonable indicator of what kind of place you’re in.
