This same Pawn Shop mis-identified a rifle a few years back. I ended up with a NIB M1A Squad Scout for ~$420. Occasionally, shop screw ups can work to your advantage.

Sheesh! What did they take it for?

So you went back and pawned a fake Eotech with this new learned info, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU? :P

Wrong. I'd be way more invested in the spelling of Dr Pepper.

Seriously though, I don't see it that way. "Doing what I'm told" doesn't earn a pass, in my opinion.

The next time the waitress tells you the 'vegetable of the day' is corn. Set her straight and tell her that corn is not a vegetable, it's a grain.

No, but I know caveat emptor.

I know how to say ‘Pongo las manos Arriba!” In a menacing tone of voice as a round gets shucked into the faithful old 12 gauge pump. Talk about a fight stopper. It do work well on most occasions.

I have related this story a couple of times here but I will throw it out there again;

Went into a pawn shop and saw a Bersa .380 pistol with a price tag of $450 and a description as a Beretta .380.

I pointed this out to the manager and told him that a new Bersa .380 was less than $200.

This dickless wonder looks me in the eye and says “ it is a rare mismarked at the factory Beretta and that is why it is priced at $450.

At that point I may have said a couple of things questioning his intelligence then walked out of the store.

My pal who has a super strong spring in his Delta Elite 10 mm said he had a Bersa .380 and was the best and most accurate pocket pistol he ever owned. Somebody might should give them a hint to raise the prices.

Send a letter to their Corp.....if they have a FB page, put it on there, as well.

That won't do anything, they'll maybe lower the price and sell it still.

Same idiots that old me a military surplus Romanian AES-10B was "new" and they couldn't budge on the (over)price. Chain pawn shops are a rip-off, the only time I've ever found anything close to being a deal was at locally-owned ones...

I don't even know what a Eotech is!!! . They had it tagged, simply, as a M1.

How much did they want for it? Century started importing them again with a $1,500 MSRP!!!
This is the only place I have seen them in stock and apparently people are buying them. Man did I get lucky on mine.

Hey, shop at pawn shops if you like, but I'd rather buy at a quality store than some low dog store.

Oh, oh, but you can get some good deals.

Yeah, and if pigs could fly they'd have wings.....

Every now and then a tree rat finds an acorn, but not you, ya cheap bastid......

This was many years ago, when you could still find them for around $500 or so...
