I'm bored at work. Ask a Montana pawnbroker anything
Coolest gun you have/had in stock?
Actually just what's the most interesting thing you've seen working there
>>28897880
Brown and Rodda pepperbox is nifty
>>28897860
I live in Montana, what city you in? Got any used 45-70 lever actions or Glock 19s?
>>28897860
Since your entire economy has utterly collapsed due to the oil industry cratering I bet you have lots of stock.
Do you have a lot of shit super cheap?
Also do you have a Gun-broker account?
If yes to the first two; Can you hook a brotha up?
>>28897910
Bozeman, no and no.
Merwin and Hulbert is cool too.
>>28897860
Cool RPD.
>>28897860
Most Bubba'd gun that has ever graced your shelf?
>>28897860

How much do you think a Springfield xd .45 is worth?
1,500 rounds. Working, no dings, original shit that it came with plus an extra magazine.
I want a cheap 9mm. Im broke, getting broker, and cant afford to feed my gun lust at .23-25 cpr.
Was thinking about a s&w sd9ve trade, and $50. Would you go for that?
>>28897860
Im moving up to Montana in a few months, where abouts is the shop if you dont mind me asking.
>>28897923
Is your boss' son a furry faggot?
Just asking because I worked with a guy who bragged that his family had a pawn shop in bozeman.
>>28898350
Does your state require any kind of licensure for still ownership? In my state I think any still over a gallon on something has to be registered with the liquor commission regardless of its purpose.
>>28898498

>>28898506

>>28898507

>>28898442
Nice, I'm in Philipsburg, haven't seen any around recently. Then again not really liking for them.
>>28898607
Apparently federal law is, according to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau:
>§5601. Criminal penalties
>(a) Offenses
>Any person who—
(1) Unregistered stills
>has in his possession or custody, or under his control, any still or distilling apparatus set up which is not registered, as required by section 5179(a); or
Though the page that redirected to the text of the law (http://www.ttb.gov/spirits/home-distilling.shtml) didn't include the "set up" statement. It says:
>Within title 26 of the United States Code, section 5601 sets out criminal penalties for activities including the following. Offenses under this section are felonies that are punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both, for each offense.
> 5601(a)(1) – Possession of an unregistered still.
Which implies that they interpret "set up" as merely possessing. That being said, I still would like to start my own unregistered still and engage in hobbyist-level moonshining.

>>28897860
Is it true that you have to suck 1000 cocks to be a pawnbroker in Montana?
why are all you faggots asking him how much shit is? just ask him what his shop is and go check in. if you want to see where the market is, open up gunbroker and check. stop cluttering OP with this shit

Maybe twice a month. Everybody knows everybody so it's hard to get away with. Plus pawnbrokers are the only people who will give shitbags loans, so they have to be mighty stupid to fuck us over.

Why won't the local pawn shop buy this printer I found?
it's not stolen or anything, they just say they don't want printers. Where can I hawk this fucking piece of shit printer I dumpster-dived? I need money. It's not for crack, it's for dildos, just in case you were gonna accuse me of needing money for nefarious reasons.
>>28898651
>>28899190
What beauty? It's just another AR.

>>28903934

>>28904012
Has "Pawn Stars" made it easier or harder for your business?
Do you call in experts?
>>28903647
Depends on their business model, but for the most part they're ok in Montana.
>>28903650
I feel obligated to tell you to stay out of Montana, especially if you're from the PNW or really any coast.
>>28903916
Dunno, cheeki breeki? I've been crying myself to sleep waiting for you...
>>28903934
Electronics are instantly obsolete, and the profit margin on them is negligible to being with. Then every idiot and his mother accuses it of being broken to try and talk down the already shit profit margin.
>>28904198
I only rarely call in experts, I know 95% of what I need to know already, and the other 4.9% I can google. The only discernible affect of the show is occassional annoying people who come "to experience a real pawnshop".
80% of our business is almost guaranteed because our clientele are addicted to one thing or another. Gamblers, druggies, boozers, or just people who are plain bad with money.
If I'm bored tomorrow and this thread's still up I'll post some more cool shit we have in on pawn.
In the meantime have a durr.

Do you ever feel bad because pawn shops are like parasites that profit off the hardships of others and their unfortunate bad decisions?
>>28906322
I'm not at work yet, I'll show later.
>>28906328
The type of people who use a pawn shop regularly are so profoundly bad with money, and with managing life decisions, that they will throw away their money on something anyways. If they didn't spend money on pawn interest they'd be spending it on more booze, or something else worthless. If they're going to throw away their money anyways, I might as well be on the receiving end. So no.
It's not that hard to live your life in a way that you'd never have to pawn your shit. So no, I don't feel bad, hardships for these people are self inflicted.
>>28897963

For knife anon
>>28898742
its not hard. we did it with zero knowledge of how it worked and some pre historic googling about 10 years ago or so. we made it out of a pressure cooker, empty paint can and some tubing from home depot. it looked janky as fuck but it worked pretty well. i dont remember the exact ratio of stuff but it was cornmeal, sugar, yeast and water. sometimes wed sub out the cornmeal for potatoes, molasses, corn flakes, chocolate chip cookies etc. the cookies one tasted legit like a cookie but it was subtle, not like those disgusting flavored vodkas. we would mix up the mash ingredients in 5 gallon paint buckets and put them on the balcony or in storage closets for 2 weeks until it was done.
>first time testing still
>put it on stove, turn burner to high to boil mash
>boiling
>turn it down to low
>too late, its overflowing into the tubing and spraying hot rotten whiskey mash all over the kitchen floor from the worm box
>later redo it, find out where on the burner knob will keep it at 175 consistently. make a hash on the burner knob and just turn it to that whenever cooking mash. takes for fuck ever to get that hot so just hang out and watch tv until it gets done.
>get annoyed with a bunch of 5 gallon buckets full of mash all over
>decide to get 55 gallon garbage can and mix mash in there
>leave to go eat dinner
>come back a few hours later
>smells like someone took a shit in the apartment
>mash is bubbling away
wed test if the mash still had the bad stuff in it by dipping a popsickle stick into the fresh moonshine, and if it burned red or yellow wed toss it until it burned blue. to test when the mash was getting low on alcohol wed do the same thing but if it burned and then flickered out we knew to toss the mash out and start a new batch. when its fresh out of the still it still smells a little ripe, so we would run it through a brita water filter a few times until it got rid of the fermented smell. then you have fresh clean high proof liquor.

quick and ghetto whiskey recipe for anyone that cares to try it
>get jack daniels smoking chips from home depot
>get 5 gallon water jug from supermarket
>acquire vanilla extract and real maple syrup
to emulate the effect that storing liquor in a barrel has, i would burn the woodchips with a blow torch until they were completely charred black on the outside. put the liquor in the jug, stuff the woodchips into the jug, give it a good shake. put a tiny amount of extract and about a tbsp of maple syrup. do not go overboard on the woodchips or you will have a cloudy, overflavored mess. let sit for one month.
strain it out through a cheese cloth, bottle it. it should be roughly the color between jack and crown if you did it right. and it actually tastes like pretty decent whiskey.

If you want to grossly overpay for one you can. They also make them in smaller rounds albeit still grossly overpriced.
