I could have absconded with a real steal on a brick of.22lr about a week and a half ago. I went into my local pawn shop just for a look see and noticed that they had sold a good portion of their guns which is unusual for this shop as they're fairly high on their used guns also they're only two doors up from the gun shop which sells more guns in a day during normal times than any other shop I've regularly visited in my life has in a week.
Anyway the owner was sitting in his office and was on the computer and working the counter was a young lady in her early 20s that I assume was his daughter. I hadn't seen a thing I couldn't live without but while browsing the handgun case where there was also some ammo I seen a brick of Armscor .22s. I didn't have any of that brand at home and hating to walk out without buying something, the girl was keeping a constant eye on me, I ask her what they wanted for them, I was thinking per 50 round box. She pulled the brick out looking for a price and turned it over and said $5. I said, for that big box? She said yes and I said lay it on me.
I didn't look at on the way home but kept thinking she made a mistake or somehow in pawnshop trading the guy made a great deal and decided to pass it on to the customer...not. Getting home I turned it over and in black marker it said $5@ per box. I knew than the girl had unknowingly gyped her dad out of $25-30.
Next day I went back with the brick minus one box I kept. Went in the shop repeat scene, I seen pop on the computer and daughter behind counter. I wanted to keep her from getting a butt chewing so I walked down the counter a few feet and she kept pace, I than told her that when she had sold me the ammo the day before she had made a mistake. She looked at me worried like and ask how. I proceeded to explain when dad came out and ask what the matter was, so I explained what had happened and how looking at the writing I could understand. He slid out the remaining 9 boxes and slid one over to me and told me to take another for my honesty.
