I did some research the other day comparing Ebay and some pawn shops in my area, and thought I would share what I found with all of you. If you’re looking to save money and get the exact product that you want, go to pawn shops, NOT Ebay! From my experience and what I’ve gathered from my friends’ experiences with Ebay, for a new product, there isn’t much of a discount–maybe 5-10% from the retail price. At a pawn shop, I’ve found brand new items discounted as much as 50%! When I compared the prices of items that I bought at pawn shops to their prices on Ebay, I found a significant difference. Pawn shop prices were consistently lower. Also, shopping at a pawn shop guarantees that you get your iteam the second you pay for it; you don’t have to wait for the item to ship like on Ebay! (and you don’t have to pay for the shipping fee). Because of these reasons, a pawn shop is just a better, more convenient place to shop. I encourage you to share your opinions on this topic.
