Pawn shop agents really kill me. You spend a half an hour digging through all their crap tool piles looking for a gem or two, take the fist full up to the counter, and they automatically want $20 for what you have... $30 if their greedy. I had found the likes of an old wood handled VT Co. phillips screwdriver, a Duro Chrome combo, an NB 11 mm combo, a couple of old Crescent DOE's, a Channelock micro pliers, a DBE US Dunlap in great shape, and a Plomb WF-102. Maybe he's had a slow day, but I gave back the Crescents and a couple other forgwettables, and we were down to $6(really just wanted the Plomb). Added one tool back for another $2 and went back to the pile and grabbed a C-92 Craftsman 1/2" speeder(AA says 1932-35??) with like 98% of it's chrome still intact and it was only $2, but he wouldn't budge on the $3 price tag on the Dunlap. He got like half of what he wanted for the stash and I got everything I wanted for $10. He made money on the deal, whether he knew it or not...
