That's a joke. Why did you sell it? Was the emergency that urgent that you got rid of all that stuff for 1/10th of it's price. You could've sold everything on eBay and gotten about $500 within a week IMO.

Pawn shops just give you a small loan using your stuff as collateral. You aren't necessarily selling the stuff.

I am apparently young and naive, someone explain to me how the pawn shops work? I thought you just took [censored] there and sold it? Guess not...

I needed some emergency money one time and tried the pawn shop route. based on that horrible experience, I'm guessing $20?

Edit: $60, you did pretty good! I tried to pawn a newish tv, a gamecube with 5 games, a great stereo all together worth around $1500, they offered me $50 and made a joke about junkies. I told them to go [censored] themselves and they called the cops and said I must have robbed someone's house (obviously, I hadn't, but I look like scumbag so they must have assumed)

I think Pawn shops generally do 10%. Maybe even less. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Out of curiosity, how much interest did they charge you, and how long do you have to get it back before they sell it?

They don't sell your stuff until you fail to repay your loan. I have no idea how long they give you to repay, though.
