The unpredictable economics of pawn shops

When we had our first child, I’d take over the early morning feeding while watching episodes of Pawn Stars on Youtube.

Each episode would be around twenty minutes, which is how long it took our little guy to finish a bottle, and it was some fun mindless entertainment.

Yeah yeah, I know the negotiations and sales are pre-planned. A bit of Las Vegas kayfabe.

But I enjoyed it.
