I have to ask:
Have you actually gotten such a deal in a pawn shop?
I like to visit pawn shope, because I never know what I'll find.
But I never see the deals you are talking about.
I have *never* seen a late model, desireable camera (certainly never a
reasonably new DSLR) for sale in in a pawnshop.
It is my extremely strong suspiscion that pawn shop owners have a list
of friends who get first shot at the good stuff - based on the fact
that the good stuff goes in, but never makes it to the shelves.
I can't even find any EF lenses for sale.

Anna Nicole Smith's family and
friends converged on the late
model's seaside mansion in the
Bahamas on Monday. It's chaotic.
Hundreds of people are waiting
outside the mansion's security
gate, and that's just the line
for the paternity test.
