Super Pawn (Posted on 2006-04-07) Difficulty: 1 of 5
Bob has an idea on how to make some extra cash. He pawns $30 at the local pawn shop for $15. Then he goes to the pub next door and sells the $30 pawn ticket to Jim for $20. It looks like both make money on the deal. Is that true? Who gets the short end of the transaction? Is it Bob, Jim, or the pawn shop?

Question What is a pawn shop? | Comment 3 of 7 |

I'm obviously retarded, but what exactly is a pawn shop?  When you say that Bob "pawns" $30 for $15, what does that mean, and what is the point of such a transaction?
