Pawn shops are hit and miss on this sort of thing. Sometimes you can end up with a bargain but they seem to charge as much as they can in the hope of catching an impulse buyer.
I noticed that the local pawn shop was selling a Celestron 130 EQ Astro(master?) but they did not have a price listed on the trading post. I was looking for a small scope for my Son. I went down to have a look and they were charging the same price as brand new. It had a little bit of damage as well.
I mentioned this to the owner and his response was, "make an offer". I didn't want to play and walked.
