Acordion: 33 dollars
Gasmask( I bought this one ): 2 dollars
MP3/cd player: 40 dollars
samovar( small one): 12 dollars
WorldWar2 desert raiders gloves, hood and glasses: 25 dollars
Camera(nondigital): 2 dollars!
and a damn TV: 40 dollars

holy shit.. this gasmask rules, i almost died by being in it, becouse i forgot to remove the filter-cap..

Any other expiriences in the pawn shop?

We lack real pawnshops, but being next to the military base, we have dozens and dozens of military surplus stores.
I entered one, and they where selling 50 pound Bomb casings.
The kind they dropped en masse during WWII.
Found also a Vietnam era machette, AK-47 clips, dummy practice grenades, mock training rifles, kevlar helmets, used gillie suit, hellva lot of rifles, a marine sword, commando knives, and stuff that looked like loot from around the world.

I going to buy one of them bombs when I can scrape enough money together.

I bought a vietnam era flak jacket and a SWAT tactical load-bearing vest and a MP retractable baton at my local surplus store (though the only thing used was the flak jacket)

I got a super good deal because the buddy thought I was a Canadian Ranger (not a park ranger) for some reason and gave me 50% off everything.

I have no military experience at all

Pawn shops are closing up rapidly because of a genital wart on the penis of creation...Ebay

I doubt it. People that frequent pawn shops arn't the type to use a computer. Or have a credit card.

If it's anything like my city, its for getting some money for crack after throwing a shopping cart through someones window with crack withdrawl stregnth and cleaning out thier house.

it used to be that one could visit a pawnshop and find all sorts of stompboxes, guitars, etc...now it's all online.

the guy who owened the place. Apparently he was a ranger himself. Maybe I accidently said the secret sentance or something.

Samovar = A big Russian Tea maker. Except this one is small.

I sold my Baptism cup at a pawn shop for 30 Australian dollars to help pay for a Beastie Boys CD.

You are so going to hell for that.

Evil Robot · #16

I hope nobody finds a vodoo related use for that cup....

30 to *help* buy a Beastie Boys CD? how many oz bucks does it take to buy a CD?

Zhukov · #18

This one was $AU40. At the time that was about $US20. It was Hello Nasty. Well worth Hell.

How much are they in the US or Canada?

AChimp · #19

Most CDs here are $17 or something.

Evil Robot · #20

Pop that fucker in your CD ROM and look for stuff other than what you think is there.
edit- just a hunch!

I just love estonia (sometimes..), that our country doesnt know the word EBAY or Internet, Hell, If I ask someone what computer do you have, they say: Windows 98!11!!

Anyway, pawnshops rule hard, too bad that most of the stuff is broken

Atleast not the gasmask i bought..
