I am sooooo stupid. I have piffed two of them this week. These did not have cases but I bet I could have gotten $300.00 a piece. I just gave them away.
craigslist is for scumbags. I found my apartment on craigslist...
$500 for a gold tech is ridiculous. No way would I pay more than $350, maybe $375 tops for one.
We really shouldn't be laughing. People like this drive up the prices......eventually.
I would second wanting to see that seller get shot down by Old Man (for those unfamiliar with the show, that is what they call him) on Pawn Stars! If I were to want to open a pawn shop, I would first try to get hired as his assistant for a few years and learn from the best in the business. Also, he is definitely old enough to have used a DE in his day, and probably a straight as well.
I think it would be a lot funnier to watch the seller get shot down by Chumlee. He may be dumb, but he isn't THAT dumb to shell out $500 for a cased Tech.
The conversation would probably go something like this ...Chum is young enough to ask "What the **** is that?". They do have a lot of fun at Chum's expense on that show, though.
