Good point, you are right. I didn't think about that when I typed my previous post. I think I'll never buy from pawn shops either.

I hardly buy anything from brick and mortar shops. I always find better deals on ebay, amazon, frys. best buy, walmart, and j&r. Buying something from a pawn shop seems too humble for me. You don't know where the damn thing came from.

Just picked up Wall-E and Casino Royale for $12 each at one of my local pawn shops...it pays to stop in there every week or so.

With the prices of some of the new discs, I have absolutely no problem buying used. Movie Stop, CD Warehouse, BBV, or a pawn shop, as long as it's on my list, I'll consider it. In fact, I prefer to shop there if for only "the thrill of the chase."

I picked up a sealed Coraline for $15.99 but passed on the sealed 300 digibook at that same price at CD Warehouse.

My local "freaky record store" is a hit or miss but last week they had Star Trek S1 for $40, not too bad.

Pawn shops are a different breed. Some have em, some don't. Some offer good prices, some don't. My best deal was for the Harry Potter trunk for $20 on Blu.
