Stopped in a local Pawn shop yesterday to see what kind of tools ended up there. I was impressed with how many, especially air nailers and circular saws.
What further impressed me was the prices. I think everything was marked way up for used tools. Anyone ever bought tools from a pawn shop? Are the prices negotiable. For example there was a Skil Plunge Router 1 3/4 hp., obviously used but ran OK, for $75. I would think as a used tool it would be a good price at $35.
Saw all kinds of air nail guns with what I thought high prices for used, but if prices are negotiable there was some nice tools there.
Can those folks be argued down? I know that you can debate any price with anyone but is that the standard in a pawn shop, should you expect to pay less than what they have the things marked? If so, what is reasonable to expect?
