Oh yeah, I agree. Trouble is, here in PA, we don't have pawn shops per se. We have places that buy used/estate stuff and then sell them marked up but there's no 'dealing' in places like that. Example; I went to this one guy I know and he had a basic Yamaha acoustic for $149.00 Couldn't deal on it. I checked on ebay and at Guitar Center. I could have bought new for around the same price. At it's a basic dreadnought. I have my Washburn dread and want something with a little better sound/feel.

Thanks for the thought though.
