A pawn shop will let you put your tools or whatever up ad collateral and loan you money.
Flea markets are like huge garage sales

I'm too lazy to explain, and you're too lazy to use google. Have a great day.

Pawnshops offer collateral-based loans -- meaning the loan is secured by something of value. You take in something you own, and if the pawnbroker is interested, he will offer you a loan. The pawnbroker then keeps your item until you repay the loan.

have you never been to either?

People that go to pawn shops are in denial that they're trashy.
People at flea markets give no fricks.

Both sell what appears to be junk. The difference is that pawn shops gpcan loan you money if you give them something of value as collateral. If you choose to just keep the money, then they keep the collateral and sell it.

What starts out at a flea market ends up in a pawn shop.

where do flea markets get their merchandise? is it items that people just drop off when they want to get rid of it or do said people sell it to the flea market?

I'm sure there are 100 different ways they source it, such as:
- make it
- steal it
- buy cheaper from other retailers
- buy cheaper from garage sales
- find in the side of the road
- buy wholesale

Flea market has a lot of diff vendors. Pawn shop is brick and mortar and never moves

Flea market = newer junk. Located in rural redneck havens. Trashy white folks.
Pawn shop = used junk. Licated in more urban settings. More typical black folks.

Flea markets don't have thier own reality porn genre.

and
Flea market vendors call it a good day if they make $100.
Pawn shop owners make bank. Lots of money in taking advantage of the poor and stupid these days.

Some flea markets are legit, at least the 2 in Houston and the one in Memphis. I've gotten some legit deals on car audio and some decals made. One even had a barbershop that was open on Sunday's inside which was good for me back when I was working 6 12's.

I am part owner of a pawn shop,we are not located in an urban area,and we try not to handle junk.
Guns,musical instruments,good tools/equipment and gold jewelry. That's about all we deal with.
We sell some new "low end pistols",because they are good sellers,but we don't like to take any in on pawn. Really, this goes for any low end items.
We try to keep our quality high.

Most flea markets that I've been to were piles upon piles of junk. Pawn shops on the other hand, is the place to go for nearly brand new guns, tools, sattles. etc. for sometimes excellent prices. I've got 2 out of 16 guns that didn't come from the pawn shop. To answer your question a pawn shop will loan you money that is borrowed against the item that you brought it. It is ofcoirse paid on rediculously high interest and the money you receive is usually 1/3 of what the item is actually worth. If it's not paid in time, the item belong to the lender and is put up for sale. Flea markets are just stores really

A lot of flea market vendors skirt the following requirement that Pawn Brokers have to meet (as well as second hand dealers).
That is from the Shreveport Municipal Code but it similar in almost all jurisdictions.
At one time, many vendors in flea markets rotated in and out so as not to be "continuously" operating a business. Not sure if that has been tightened up. Makes it a lot easier to sell stolen goods if you don't have to meet reporting requirements.
quote:
All pawnshops and pawnbrokers within the city shall file a daily record with the police department of transactions made in jewelry, clothing, firearms, furniture, auto tires or accessories, and all other merchandise or junk of any kind.
Effective January 1, 2005, all daily records shall be filed electronically to a law enforcement web site designated as an agent of the police department for the sole purpose of collecting such records, or in such other form as may be permitted by the chief of police.
