You go into to a pawn shop or a jewelry store to sell something and they tell you it’s out of style, the quality is mediocre… You sell it for dirt and then you turn around a week later and go in to buy the same thing from a different sales person who doesn’t know you’re the one who sold it to them… And it’s a masterpiece of rare quality.

Pawn shops, jewelry stores can afford to pay dirt cheap prices because of the people that go in there all the time either “D”esperate or with no clue what they’re selling. And that’s what screws over legitimate customers going in to sell their goods.

A friend of mine says something is worth what people are willing people are willing to pay for it. Apparently that holds true for what people have no choice but to sell it for as well.
