Pawn Brokers or Small Time Loan Sharks
What do you do when you are not able to pay all your bills? You have depleted your savings, borrowed from everyone you know and love. You still do not have enough to keep the bill collectors from coming to your door and ringing that telephone off the hook.
What is the only recourse you have to do when you are down and out. The jewelry guns or knives or collectibles you have been harbouring trying not to lose takes you to the Pawn Broker. The only thing bad is the interest rates are so high you are probably paying more than three times or more what your stuff is worth to get it out.
Unlike the loan sharks that will turn your arm around until it breaks to get your attention. The pawn shop ends up with some of the things that you could not afford to get out and that hurts you in ways to, when there is sentimental value, to some of your things.
On top of all the injustice you are not getting a good price for your stuff because they know you are in dire need or the rings would not be coming off your fingers just to keep food on your plate or electric to keep your house functional.
It does no good to be discouraged because the law is on their side and you see more and more Pawn Shops going up in the neighborhood so it is big business for the few that will take the items and make more money than they need. It behooves me to think that people like that can sleep at night knowing what they do to people that really need some help and have no where else to turn. There should be more laws protecting us from load sharks of this nature.
Some people love to shop at these places but I really do not like how they got the merchandise and will not frequent this type of shop.
