The Pawn Shop Experience

This isn't your father's pawn shop!

What in the world am I talking about? Some of you already know without me going into any kind of description. Some of you can sense what this may be about, especially if you have been to a pawn shop recently; especially in the Boca Raton area. Let me begin by tantalizing you just a bit. Many of you reading this will be able to identify with a situation where you did not have a whole lot of money for something that you desperately wanted or needed. I can also safely say that for most of you a pawn shop was not your first inclination for making this purchase. At any rate, this item you absolutely had to have was out of your reach, financially speaking. Then you visit with a friend or family member and they tell you about a great deal they got at the pawn shop. An “Aha moment” explodes in your mind. That’s right; I could have gone to a pawn shop and saved a bundle.

Why didn’t you think of that before? One reason is that too many of you don’t have a good picture in your mind about a previous experience somewhere else and assumed that another experience would end up the same. Or, you did not want to give it another chance. Fair enough, with this being a  natural reaction. However, let me interject a notion that is also just as fair. Perhaps, the day you went in to make a purchase your anxiety level was elevated due to a stressful situation, or you knew that it would turn out to be a poor experience because of what you listened to some else say and let their opinion taint your impression. Either way, this would not give the pawn shop a fair chance right off the bat. So, try an experiment and get the “fever”.

Take a trip to your local Boca Raton pawn shop with one specific item in mind that you have been considering to purchase brand new elsewhere. Browse around and see what is in the inventory. Two things now will need to happen to give this experience a fair chance. One, ask a representative to  help you locate what it is you seek. Two, if the item is not there, ask the representative to see if there is one located elsewhere that they can get for you to purchase. Service is one of many reasons that will play a factor in you wanting to give them your future business or not. I think that if you go into the purchasing endeavor with a positive attitude and with all of the desire to find what you desire, the experience will be much better than you ever anticipated. Happy shopping!
