I have looked at a few EBay stores and margins seem very low.

That's why it doesn't make sense that those people would wait in a long line for Gold & Silver pawn when there are so many other pawn shops in Vegas that DON'T have long lines.

Funny how the lines disappear when the sun goes down. <g> That's the time to go, although the "Stars" probably will be gone as well. Morning might be a good time to catch them, before the lines develop. The lines I've seen weren't all THAT long, anyway. It's not like the restroom line near the Circus buffet. --- Walt |
