Knox Jewelry & Loan has some good deals if you check in often enough. While I don't like the idea of pawn shops in general, somebody needed the money and I might find something that will benefit me as well. While it's best to know about the quality of jewelry before purchasing here, you can often negotiate a decent price on some nice pieces. If you are looking for musical instruments, this is also a good place to look for guitars and drum equipment. Merchandise rotates, so check back when you can.
