Down here at the pawn shop

[Undertoad]

That's a good plan and a good way to handle it by them. If they know you're not dishonest, and you're a regular, to give you cash.

It might work like this: they can't test certain items, or don't know how. So they put those things out at around parts price; and if they come back, they'll sell them out on eBay at parts price, meanwhile you're invested in store credit.

In the ghetto, a lot of items come in as suspect. Not that they were stolen, but they were clearly part of a dumpster dive or seem to be from odd circumstances. A poor person comes in, digs into a plastic trash bag, and says "I have this stereo (a 30 year old piece of shit), this clock radio (a 40 year old piece of shit), and this thing I don't use because I don't like it (an uncharged iPad 2 covered in syrup)." And you say, what the fuck?

So you offer $20 for the lot and throw the shit in the trash, and hope the iPad is serviceable; if it can't charge at all, it goes for parts:

But if it can charge, how long do you work with it until you say, well yeah this thing "works"? And what are your risks, selling it in various ways?

so apparently this just happened today in front of you know where. Details are still coming in but, you know, random craziness in the hood. Steve has video of this gent disrobing, surrounded by cops, in the very middle of Broad St.

...and he was hauled off in an ambulance shortly after this. Word is, his bag of weed had something stronger in it than he expected, and so he began doing a striptease up Broad St.

I have heard of people around here getting nekked after getting all doped up on goofballs... bath salts and what have you...

[xoxoxoBruce]

Just wanted to show them he wasn't armed.

[Undertoad]

Right now word is he began stripping before the cops took an interest, but Steve promises more details later.

[Pamela]

So, it's NOT true, what they say, after all!

[Clodfobble]

I like how the one cop has already got his gloves on. Smart move.

[Happy Monkey]

Looks like he's trying out for the part of Daffyd Thomas.

Thank you so much, Pam.

I feel just a little less weird knowing that you saw it, too.

Well...that you didn't see it, either, in this case.

What he did is very dangerous. Some cop might mistake his toy for a real gun.

See dis?

[Undertoad]

Yup. It's funny cos the horizontal siding in the Pbg shop is what we had. Makes it easy to hang and display items.

[xoxoxoBruce]

So does my podiatrist for displaying shit they sell.
