The ULTIMATE pawn shop find

Found this jewel at a local pawn shop. Had to pick it up. Got it very cheap! Pretty obvious the pawn shop didn’t know what they had. Or the person that pawned it for that matter

What if it was stolen?

Just to make all of us cry a little in our sleep - how much was it?

good find…price?

What if it was stolen?

If it was the inevitable viral spread of these photos will find the owner soon!

Why were you in a pawn shop in the first place?

And then you took the bike to school for a photo opp? :slight_smile:

Actually I think the brakes are worth more then the whole bike on ebay…

oh my god. how cheap?

$400

nice find. realistically, how much is it worth (ballpark?)

$400

Wow.

nice find. realistically, how much is it worth (ballpark?)

Used to be $300ish per brake, might not be anymore with the Omega around.

Thats my bike!!! Thanks a lot dude for finding it for me, been looking for that sucker for over 20 years now. PM me for my address, and thanks again…

Might as well add this to the “Low Budget Rides” thread … #smh

Wow. Clearly I’ve been searching in all the wrong places… :wink:

Wow!

Cheap? I’ve gotten hookers for less.

As someone who had a bike stolen recently, I have learned quite a bit about the market for stolen bikes, and I think there is a very good chance that the bike is hot. You should check the serial number with the National Bike Registry and other registries of stolen bikes – like stolenbikeregistry.com. You could also report it to your local police department to see if they have a report on a bike matching that one. All the pawn shops I called when mine was stolen swore to me that they check serial numbers when they bring bikes in, but I’ve heard from many people including police officers that many pawn shops deal in stolen bikes. Also, the thief may have pawned it before the police put the serial number in the database. Let your conscience be your guide.

I applaud you sir.
