Lodians flock to ‘Pawn Shop Insiders’

Dan Smith of Lockeford lingered patiently in the makeshift waiting room near the vending machines. His 12-year-old son Danny Smith clutched a cardboard box stacked full of comic books from the early 1970s. Were they worth a small fortune? The pair hoped so.

"With Christmas coming up, things are rough right now. I'm hoping for $200 for the whole box," said Dan Smith. His number was called, and the father and son marched out to a table set up with a laptop, an iPad, a small jewelry scale and some magnifying glasses.
