That's on of the 1st things I do with all the managers and sales clerks.

I give them my business card with what I'm looking for and to give me a call when something comes in.

I do and get a lot of calls from many of them.

Managers and sales clerks move on, and you have to start the process all over again, so that's why I still have to go by on a regular basis.

You never know when a manager or sales clerk who used to give you a heads up on gear has moved on.


I've gotten some really good scores by the managers giving me heads up on guitars that are coming out that day.

I have 1st right of refusal with A LOT of the pawnshops.

I've been doing this a very long time with a lot of success.
