%% I called another gunsmith on that Remington also, before I bought it. Winchester, Marlin, S&W+ Colt's hardly ever go wrong, even though one of my Marlin has a broken firing pin. Good place to buy some stuff...................................................................
Pawn shops are a buyers market. A persons loses the minute they walk into one to pawn something. if you have gold or jewelry the best thing is to just sell it outright, not pawn it. Pawn shops are great places to shop, not to borrow money. If you are that strapped for cash you want to pawn a ring, you would get more money selling it and saying good bye to it.
that's another argument -but when I had no money I walked everywhere and lived on porridge for 2 weeks-with no money for heating. We are all equipped to deal with finances differently and no amount of education seems to change that. I do feel that the media keeps banging on about how 'we're worth it' to keep the consumer eager to spend. I think the lady in question has learned her lesson, so maybe it's no bad thing if others learn too.
