I have often been checking my local pawn shop for any deals on laptops. I’ve noticed they don’t seem to know what they are talking about. One debated that the same gpu laptop was being sold for a price online. I explained that was a listed price not a sold price and the same laptop gpu with better specs was less expensive new. He said the one online there is also refurbished. I explained the difference between refurbished and resell. Mind you this was after I pointed out that it was a 4050 NOT a 4070 which is quite the difference after it finally logged in to look at the nvidia panel. I obviously didn’t buy. Fast forward a little over 4 days I come in and notice a new laptop. Attempt to check it and see what’s in it by logging in. Worker says that’s just how they are they never have passwords. I explain the others have always had the same one and this would be the only one. She stared at me like I was stupid and kept repeating what she said. I gently closed the laptop and said “I think I’ll decline , have a good day” and exited and upon turning to leave I notice the tag on the previous laptop STILL says 4070!! Will never buy through that store after that.

Anyone else have experiences like this? Or is my local store just dumb?
