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.

    TBF you just described most of capitalism.

    I don’t need a gun, but the pawn shop on my commute has some musical instruments in the window which intrigue me. I’m a serial hobby-starter, and prefer gently used hobby tools over new, because used items have less of an environmental impact than new items.

      Musical instruments are one of the better things you can find, and usually you can try them in store.
