    You did the right thing walking away from that pawn shop. There is a reason they have a bunch of inventory not moving.

    @ancient_gaming 2 года назад +303

    It's a shame about the shop that didn't honour their price - I would assume they just looked up the game when they went to clean it. You absolutely did the right thing by not giving them your business and walking out of there. At least now we all know not to shop at Middleton Pawn - not that I would, given I'm not in the US!

    Firstly, you did the right thing when it came to the pawn shop. I understand shops being cautious of scams, but doing what they did do you will only cost them more customers in the future. Secondly, I seriously have to say thank you to Caleb for such a cool series and Riff for the funny edits. People can say what they what, but Caleb and Riff really are a great team.

      I’m in the UK so the laws might be different but from what I know it’s actually illegal to look at cctv if you’re not certified.
      Even if the cctv is for your shop, you’d still need someone to come and view it for you because otherwise if you take it to court, you could be accused of tampering with the evidence even by just watching it
