Pawn Shop

 

Pawnbrokers are popular because the customer can get money for goods, and buy the goods back within a specified time if he has earned the money to repay. If not, the goods are forfeited. 

 

Has someone created a pawn shop in miniature?

 

This is the place for the picture.

Background information

There is a furtiveness to the pawn shop, pehaps because the pawnbroker takes the chamce that the customer is not trying to fence stolen goods, or perhaps the desperation of customers. Since the broker has possession of the goods, the loan does not affect the customer's credit rating. Items pawned include: jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, furs. See the background in the video of "The Pawnbroker" above. In the States, guns are sold within lawful criteria. St. Nicholas is the patron saint of pawnbrokers. The symbol of a pawnbroker is 3 spheres suspended from a bar.
