    When I was a teenager I figured out that cash converters gave you a flat rate of $5 for any PlayStation or Xbox game unless it was a new AAA title. I used to go to EB Games and buy all of their $2 games on clearance without their original case (I bought so many copies of sonic tennis) and sell them to cash converters. As there were multiple cash converters and multiple EB Games in my area I'd spend the day hitting up each EB and buying every single game that was sub $5 and selling them to the multiple cash converters, I made about $300 in a month doing this. It's because of me that cash converters has a rule of not buying any game without it's original case.

      I had a similar situation. 7-11 had this promotion where if you signed up for their 7Rewards, they’d give you a ton of points, but they wouldn’t verify the emails were even real. You could type literal gibberish and they’d give you the points. I got a bag of chips and a brownie or soda every single day before school for a time period so long I can’t remember, it became routine until I graduated.
      On top of that, you could refer a friend for points. I had a main account that I would use the “new” accounts to refer to, and just had it stack points. It had somewhere in the mid hundred thousand points before it got reset and suspended.
      They’ve since added a non-voip phone number requirement, removed the refer program, and points now expire extremely fast so you can’t passively hoard even if you could. I’d like to imagine I single handedly made them change, but I’m sure other people were doing it too. I know damn well I abused it enough to cost them thousands.

Rotated to a different cashies in another neighbourhood, lasted 6 times there. Went back to the first one and got away with it a few more times because by then they had forgotten.

    I bought some "real" gold plated hoop earrings for roughly $180 from cash converters for my partner, brought them back in a few months later as we needed some quick cash for a holiday, I asked for about $90 but didn't mention and the EXACT person that sold them to me looked me in the eyes and said "oh these aren't real gold so we wouldn't sell them for that much", I then told them that they were sold to me as "real" gold from the same store, they literally froze for a second, went and talked to the manager out the back then came and said "sorry we shouldn't have sold them at that price we can do you $80".
    Offered me less still despite being made to look dumb.

      I have work in hungry jacks for five years so here are some pros and cons
      Cons:
      - Broken widows (store and our cars)
      - cleaning sh*t
      - angriest indian boss on earth
      - extremely busy or dead quiet
      - didnt get to clean the ice cream machine cause another indian manager probably thought i was retarded
      - cleaned bathrooms with enough chemicals to shorten my lifespan by 10 years
      Pros:
      - made friends as we suffered together
      - angriest indian boss on earth gave us extra $50 when we broke sales
      - the working environment was like family not the fake ones companies try to get you to work harder but actual family cause we suffered together.
      - learned how to talk to girls
      Angriest indian boss said during the start of employment: "you'll never find a more better boss than me"
      An after two years ive left and worked multiple jobs he is still right. ✅️

    In Brisbane a few years ago the cops actually got two stores under police funds and had actual police running the stores. They got so much stolen goods they started a second store for their crack down on crime. One store was west end and the other was marooka, Moorooka and Indropilly worked hand in hand with cops daily providing reports of stuff taken in for loans or sales daily, those two stores were owned by the same person, probably a ex cop by the chatter in population of druggies on streets. Once the people found out what the cops were up to they avoided those stores like the plague and drove to other side of Brisbane to sell their stolen goods. Now they just sell them online.

    A guy I used to know was a pro sax player and a junkie used to hawk his sax at the same CC regularly and would go and pay it out and get it back a few days later. Obviously it was an expensive instrument so he would get more than a grand for it each time. They made $thousands out of him. Anyway he got clean and was moving to Indonesia to live so he took his horn in one last time except he had swapped it for some piece of sh*t saxophone he had found. The guys at CC didn't even open the case as they were so used to him hawking it. So he took the money and was never seen there again.

    To add to the pawn shop stories, sadly wasn’t a cashies but my partners mums ex was this psycho methhead, had to do volunteer work for an early version of work for the dole at the local museum that had some shipwreck parts. Anyway one methed out day he decides to steal a cannonball from the museum, walk down the road to the pawn shop and tried to hock it off for money. Needless to say someone walking in with a cannonball from the museum a few shops down meant a call to the cops. He went to jail for it however, and that was the final straw for my partners mum and she left him after that lmao.

'Buyers' were told to offer the lowest prices, prices on sale goods was ridiculously high. Attic was haunted - never been that scared in my life. Turns out building used to be a police station in the 1850s or so and many criminals were thrown in attic cells, tortured and killed back then.

    Thank you for acknowledging us French as the world’s biggest whiners, when you claimed the title at the start I was about to whine about it. Our foundational myth is about the consequences of ignored whining: before whipping out the guillotines, we sent notebooks full of whining to the King and only after they were ignored did we resort to violence.
    One frenchman’s whining can safely be ignored though. Just be careful you don’t let too many congregate and whine, because then it’s either no train service for a week or a prison fortress siege to gather enough ammo to overthrow the government

    when i was real broke around 2014 i sold quite a few things or loaned them for nothing even close to their original value, even if they where brand new ..sometimes i lost the stuff i loaned to them because of being unable to get back the money in time so i'd loose all sorts of good things. On-top of all that paying loan fee's to them each week with somewhere over 20% interest subsequently becoming poorer exponentially quick. at the same time my bank would often go into overdraw costing me an extra $15 each week due to too many things coming out all the time like CC repayments and sper (state penalty enforcement registry - qld fines) (fine for not voting and it transforming into a suspended license which caused me to be arrested, finger-printed and lopped with huge fines/loss of license) and due to having no license I had to ride everywhere which as a cleaner meant riding to 3 clients houses a day around bardon/indooroopilly area and giving most of the profits of said cleaning to the monopoly whoring me out 'Absolute Domestics' whom apparently earned a lot of their initial capital (or at some point along the way) to access the point they're out now of being so big, by supposedly being trophy hunters in their leisure time in Africa, think elephant tusks etc. it was a fkd time. porn shops will drain the life out of anyone regardless whether they're meth heads or not :( evil company and should be shut down

Then i'd head up the Princess Hwy for a 5 food groups nutritious kebab at Brothers Kebabs. Fully sic bro. Only 3 sleeps till Christmas. Choice

    I was a reasonably good Pawnbroker for a number of years. While it's a pretty tough gig to run straight (ish), I totally believe with good staff it's doable. And If you want work stories that your too afraid to tell your family..... then I would say go get some.

    Speaking as a pool player I can give a reason why they cut a little through your precious hundred dollar graphite pool cue that in reality should be worth twenty bucks at best, and that is to have a groove that the fishing line doesn't slip off, as jigging for tuna is a far better use for it than playing pool.

      glad you found an actual reasonable and compassionate person. CC stories don't end well very often. And in my experience their staff have no qualms in profiting off what they basically KNOW is theft. And have no qualms in backing that business model up with illegal force and operations.

      Pawnbrokers, Metal Dealers, and Scrap Dealers.
      Part 1. Pawnbrokers and Cash Converters.
      § 66-385. Short title.
      This Part shall be known and may be cited as the Pawnbrokers and Cash Converters
      Modernization Act. (1989, c. 638, s. 2; 2011-325, s. 2; 2012-46, ss. 2, 4.)
      § 66-386. Purpose.
      The making of pawn loans and the acquisition and disposition of tangible personal property by
      and through pawnshops and cash converters vitally affects the general economy of this State and
      the public interest and welfare of its citizens. In recognition of these facts, it is the policy of this
      State and the purpose of the Pawnbrokers and Cash Converters Modernization Act to do all of the
      following:
      (1) Ensure a sound system of making loans and acquiring and disposing of tangible
      personal property by and through pawnshops, and to prevent unlawful property
      transactions, particularly in stolen property, through licensing and regulating
      pawnbrokers.
      (2) Ensure a sound system of acquiring and disposing of tangible personal property
      by and through cash converters and to prevent unlawful property transactions,
      particularly in stolen property, by requiring record keeping by cash converters.
      (3) Provide for pawnbroker licensing fees and investigation fees of licensees.
      (4) Ensure financial responsibility to the State and the general public.
      (5) Ensure compliance with federal and State laws.
      (6) Assist local governments in the exercise of their police authority. (1989, c. 638,

      course not all pawnshops give enough of a shit to record all their transactions or big ticket items, even, but these comments sound like its the wild west out there lmao. If something of mine was stolen and ended up in a pawnshop, and it was provable, like having a custom engraving, there would be no asking to return it. It would be demanding my shit back from the store and they'd have to oblige.

After two years of trying to get rid of it, my boss sold it to me for $250 staff price. Took it to cashies and they gave me $315. Went in for a look for years later and it was still sitting there with its $650 price tag 🤣

    About 15 or so years ago, was waiting for my mate opposite a Cashie's while he was in the corner store getting a drink, as I was rolling a cigarette I watched a drunk bloke walk down the road, stroll into the guitar store right next door to the Cashie's, grab a guitar then walk out of that shop and into the Cashie's to sell it before walking into the store my mate was walking out of to get some beers. All while the guitar staff just sat there looking confused and not knowing what was going on. 10/10 skill fo that drunk.
