So, I’ve never been to a pawn shop before. I’m curious what’s there, but TV makes them seem shady and odd. What should I know before I visit? I’m sort of expecting a cross between an antique and a thrift store, that sort of vibe.

I’m in the USA and don’t intend to pawn anything.

    Pawn shops take advantage of the lowest and most vulnerable of society. They buy something from somone for a tiny fraction of what it’s worth, and then sell it to you for almost-new prices.
