    Is there a big demand for crustaceans where you are?

    Couldn't sell prawns for free here.

    Best start by getting a few tattoos on your face.
    Maybe some weapons.

    I get the feeling this is not the first time you have used after hours to get some quick answers on some dubious money making scam btw.

    First rule: You have to wear a string vest, braces, a ridiculous hat and constantly chew a tooth pick.

    Second rule: You must use the term bucks, eg. That Rolex is worth fifty bucks.

    Third rule: When asked by a customer if you have any guns for sale you have to give them a funny look.

    well there are 3 rules to running a pawn shop.

    - always refer to a "buddy" of yours who specialises in the item to check it out
    - claim there is something wrong with the item so the asking price goes down.
    - then low ball the shit outta them. Ideally only giving them 2% of the value.

    Call it the Rook Takes Pawn Shop.

    That would be ace.

    A few pit falls: The Bishops don't lioke losing their flock, the knights like to use them for jumping over, rooks will drop the hand on them when there's nothing much else to do and the King and Queen like'm for cannon fodder.

    Shimmy your way through those busybodies and you should be good to go.

    How does one become a "pimp"?

    You would need to get a licence from the central bank, as pawnbroking is a regulated activity.
