Obscene. And worse if it's a Christmas gift.

I used to be a Star Wars fan. But this movie made me hate Star Wars.

Just a hype-driven money maker-merchandising scheme to sell complete crap.

After almost 40 years we're still stuck on Star Wars? How lame.

Looking for guitars is like listening for architecture.

Considering I buy most of my tools at the Pawn shop, I see tons of guitars. Not a far stretch to think guys in construction or bands might need some extra scratch every once in a while.

Have to know the owner/manager, because they are the only ones who will deal on the price. I assume thats the same way for guitars.

I just find the price of the same drill he might have on display. If its $100 new and he wants $90, I'll offer $50, knowing he paid $30, then we settle somewhere between $50 and $90.

Need to ask one of the regular employees how they price something, like a Blender or TV. They offer 30% of retail value, so you basically know what these guys paid and if the item is out on the floor, that means the guy didnt come back and they are out the 30%.

Pawn Shops are not like Pawn Stars. People dont come in to sell things, they come in to PAWN them, thus the Pawn shop paid or loaned even less for the product.

They offer warranties on everything as well.

You still need models you're interested in, before you can try them out.

The ones I listed are some of the best that are made, as far as I'm concerned.
