    Pawn shops in my area not taking Bulova watches?

    So this is odd:

    I'm trying to get rid of this watch (never wear a watch never will) so I call all the pawn shops around and ask them if they take watches they ask what kind and instantly after I tell them Bulova they say no. Is there something wrong with this type of watch? I just want it gone .

    might've been high theft in the area lately and they have to report it to police/risk losing it

    Haven't heard of any pawn shop turning down a specific watch but I know the pawn shop around here doeesn't take watches at all. They say that with the different sizes it's hard to sell or w/e

    Just got one pawn shop that would take it... For 10 bucks. Last I checked the watch was worth 100 (Looked up the style number). I know they need to profit but holy crap .

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Usually pawn shops buy for 15% of what its worth. If you're lucky.

    Pawnbroker: Burnt my fingers, man.
    Louis Winthorpe III: I beg your pardon?
    Pawnbroker: Man, that watch is so hot, it's smokin'.
    Louis Winthorpe III: Hot? Do you mean to imply stolen?
    Pawnbroker: I'll give you 50 bucks for it.
    Louis Winthorpe III: Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is *the* sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!
    Pawnbroker: You got a receipt?
    Louis Winthorpe III: Look, it tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.
    Pawnbroker: In Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks.
    Louis Winthorpe III: Just give me the money.
    Louis Winthorpe III: [looking in display case] How much for the gun?

    In such kind of cases when pawn shop deny to take your thing which you are going to sell for money. Then try selling it online , today various sites are available where you can sell your things and get the cash.
