Some of My local pawn shops will rip you off here in Canada, some may be reasonable but not the best. (I would have my Pinger and Neo Slide with me.) Since I live not very far from our fore mentioned pirate I am familiar with some of the sources of the bullion goodie are and I have had some nice buys from some of those retailers. I still regularly buy from VBCE as my most trusted retailer.

And man, I came so close to buying a full tang Chinese Dao sword from a New Westminster Pawn shop.
