well i went with my uncle to pawn a surround sound system thats about 3 years old and they gave him 5 bucks for it and told them the reason why was because its so old he could only get 15-20 for it i know pawn shops dont give much so they can make money but at least they could tell u the truth because if i had the money i would have gave him 40 for it because yes its 3 yrs old but its a sony 5.1 1000watt surround sound with progressive scan dvd player which even at walmart brand new is 150-200 bucks and they will sell it for probally 75 so i just wish they would be up front
