FWIW..

Check out the interior with an inspection mirror and flashlight. Look for cracked braces, previous repairs and general condition. Might be clean as a whistle in there, might not be, but it's best to know what's going on before you buy. (Take my word for it. It's no fun finding a cracked brace after you get home from the pawn shop. I learned my lesson) If it happens to have stuff going on inside, the pawn shop may not be aware of it..That might give you bargaining power if you can point out obvious problems.

Good luck.. Pawn shop finds are very cool, IMO.. I like to make the rounds at least once a month. Matter of fact, I stopped by one local shop yesterday.. Nothing of interest though.
