| MCB Member  Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: East Lansing, MI  | Pawn Shop Finds I always stop in at the local pawn shops looking for some good buys. Of course, I find the Stingrays for $50 and other cheap Brass Eagles at outrageous prices. Over the last two weeks, I have found some good finds. Last week, I picked up a almost new Tippmann Custom 98 for $30. I couldn't believe it. Yesterday was my best find yet. At the same store, I picked up a black VSC Phantom with 45 grip and nonCCI t-stock. This gun has minor scratches on it, and it needs a good cleaning from old paint. Before I tell you the price, remember that they are selling Brass Eagles for $50 or more...I picked up this beauty for...$45. I love my pawn shop. I will have to go back in next week. |

| Lord humungus the Mod  Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Home Finally!!! | A buddy of mine purchased a mint SB pirrahna and a mint green raptor for $35. I keep holding out for one of those 30 dollar Kp finds... You have to figure though...usually when a Pawn shop buys something from you they turn around and resell it for double. So your $45 Phantom was probably purchased for around $20. To bad the kid selling it needed his crack fast. -Jake

| Active Member  Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Ottawa, Ontario | My local pawn shops go to the other extreme. There is no frigging way I'm paying $300 (even Canadian) for a stock classic autococker. I keep sticking my nose in those places hoping to find a cheap phantom or VM. Or a working X-Box under $120.  |

| Active Member  Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Western WI | Pawn shops around here usually do have some old paintball gear, but want way too much. For some reason, nearly all of them have Sheridan XTS' in the $50-$75 range. Other markers I have seen include: an old mag for $75, various BE Raptors, and a Tippmann 68 Special. About the only thing I was ever tempted to buy was an old Indian Springs hopper for $5. I really should go buy that... -Dan
