A few people have posted about deals they have gotten in pawn shops. I checked out a few shops in Denver, Co. while on vacation and found little but high priced junk. One inch micrometers, regardless of make or country of origin (China!) $29.99. No name dial calipers, 49.99. One shop had a Starrett mic, chipped carbide on the spindle and the anvil, rachet missing, still $29.99. Do the guys just use some trade publication and look up an avarage value? Hand tools, wrenches, sockets, etc., were priced the same way, no deals. Is luck and persistance the key? Or is it just a geographic thing?
