Breaking: Pawn shops are outperforming banks
If you didn't know, pawn shops are the "bank" for lower-income consumers:
• They lend when traditional banks won't
• They profit from rising gold and silver prices
• They see increased activity during economic stress
Historically, spikes in this ratio have preceded difficult market periods
Way back, we bought 100 units in a rougher neighborhood.
Kids kept bending the wrought iron fence bars to break into vacant units.
We put Crisco on every bar.
No break-ins after that. Kids didn’t want to mess up their clothes climbing a greasy fence.
Cheaper than off duty police

Victims:
How do victims typically handle it?
Right leaning individuals typically buy the item back for what we paid to acquire it. And move on.
Left leaning: want to get Police involved and drag it out in order to make everyone suffer as much as possible.
