Pawn shops prey on lower income folks and like payday loan places ought to be run out of business. with electronics stuff you want some kind of warranty. sure it might work at the pawn shop, but what happens when you get it home and it overheats or breaks? your out 225.
i'm still iffy on actually buying anything from there but i certainly think pawn shops have their place in society. however i do 100% agree that payday loan places should be put out of business

Pawnshops around us have a 90 day warranty on them.

is $225 for a used ps4 a good deal? my local pawn shop has one and have been thinking of getting one for the bf. new still seem to be sitting at about $350.
My 2 cents:
1-Consoles from pawn shops (and most other things from them) are not taken care of very well by the original owners. I have this thing about people making poor decisions in life, having to sell their stuff, and then trusting they had enough sense to take care of it prior to pawning it. Doesn't seem logical.
2- When the next iteration of the PS comes out, the new(er) version of what you are looking at will come down in price. This holds true for all electronics,cars, etc.
3- Learn to love Slickdeals. I see consoles up there on sale constantly.

if you have prime go on amazon warehouse they have a 20% off sale for prime day buy a used one there, they have bundles for 340 used before adding the 20% off at least you will have some peace of mind on the purchase.

Do you have a local Gamestop? I buy my kids used consoles there because if I get home and they don't work, they'll replace them.

yeah, was just dragged there by bf yesterday but was distracted by the pokemon accessories. the pricing online is $315 for a used one. doesn't seem worth it to save $35 might as well just buy new in that case.
