Pond shop owners, what was the best reaction you've seen from someone that trying to sell you

something that was completely worthless?

Having worked at a pawn shop before, I can say there are plenty of amazing stories of customers

in their antics.

Usually the best stories revolve around jewelry.

This one woman came in with a big gold-colored ring and wanted to get a few hundred

dollars for it.

Picking it up and looking at it, I could tell it was super fake, and I tried to explain that to her.

She wouldn't buy it because the street vendor told me it was solid 14 carrot.

I went and picked up our huge earth magnet and put it near the ring, and it shot right to it.

I explained that solid gold is not magnetic.

She was stunned and couldn't believe that she had spent like $200 for it.

I own a similar store. People still think their Beanie Babies have value. People also tend to think

what items sell for online or what they'll sell for at the same price and speed locally.

I worked in a pawn shop for a couple of years. The most memorable one was about 30 seconds. Large

sweaty man walks in with a belt sander, sets it down on the counter in front of me and

plugs it right in. Made direct eye contact and switched it on. The sander immediately made a loud popping sound

and smoke began to rise. Unplugged it, turned around, and walked out without a single word

between us. For a second, I thought he was just going to walk in and sand the countertop.

I worked in a small pawn shop for about three years, and my personal favorite was a greasy

guy came in and dumped out

a garbage bag of broken computer fans and a few assorted computer parts. We laughed for a few minutes
