Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

Chapter 135 Portable Game Consoles

Before coming, he had already checked the prices of some high-value items online, including this Sony PS5 game console.

Online prices are roughly in the range of $300 to $370.

Irving's offer of $350 was higher than he expected, but he was still satisfied.

Dave had initially thought that Irving, who looked so young, probably wouldn't have much experience with recycling secondhand items.

Dave was relieved after hearing the other party's offer.

"Next up is this bread machine—"

Amidst the astonished stares of everyone around him, Owen quickly reviewed everything Dave had brought.

Apart from a few appliances and digital products in extremely poor condition that were unusable, Irving offered reasonable prices for the rest of the items.

Their professionalism impressed even the black bodyguards who watched the whole thing.

"Okay, all of these items have been checked. The total price is $2230. If you agree, we can proceed with the transaction now." After the last item was priced, Irving breathed a long sigh of relief.

Goodness, he had never quoted so many prices at once before; his mouth was dry from talking.

If Irving hadn't been certain that the other party was just an individual seller, he would have even thought that the burly white man named "Dave" in front of him was a scalper who specialized in recycling second-hand small appliances and digital products.

"$2230? No problem!"

Upon hearing the total price of the entire load, Dave hesitated for a moment before nodding: "But let's make it clear first, you have to pay me in cash!"

"Okay, I'll give you the receipt now." Owen pulled out a stack of receipts and gave Ayesha, who was standing not far away, a wink.

Ayesha understood immediately and quickly pulled Fiona along to begin moving the items one by one into the warehouse.

Carl, who had been staying far away in the corner, also came out at this moment and followed the two of them to move things.

"WTF!" The scene before Karl was a visual feast: a game console in good condition, a computer hard drive, a portable game console—all kinds of digital products instantly attracted his attention.

For a moment, Karl didn't know where to look.

But from Irving's perspective, all of this stuff was just secondhand.

The reason for choosing to acquire it was simply to fill some empty warehouse space.

While Irving went to get the cash, Dave pushed his trolley back to the pickup truck and continued loading things.

An hour later, the doctor, carrying a thick wad of hundred-yuan bills, happily got into his pickup truck and left the pawnshop.

Inside the pawnshop, various secondhand items were piled up like a small mountain.

After locking the safe, Irving went to the bathroom for a while.

When he returned and saw Ayesha and the other two picking and choosing among the piles of secondhand items, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

No, what are you three doing squatting there?

Those who know you might think you're sorting through secondhand items, while those who don't might think you're rummaging through a trash can.

Irving was about to lose his temper and remind the three of them to work properly.

Then Fiona picked up a box and exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy shit! This little toy looks brand new. If we raise the price and put it on the shelf, it'll definitely sell out in no time!"

"Sister, look! This portable game console is in pretty good condition. Could you ask Irving for an advance on his salary and sell it to me at cost price?"

"Don't even think about it, Carl. Every penny we have now is for a good purpose; we absolutely cannot waste it!"

"Oh well.

""

"Fiona, don't be so stingy. I remember Owen only paid $35 for this portable game console. I'll pay for it as a small gift for our lovely friend." Seeing Karl's pitiful look, Ayesha waved her hand generously.

"Haha, really? Ayesha, you're amazing! I declare you the most beautiful woman in John's Pawnshop!"

Carl's eyes lit up instantly as he held the portable game console.

Seeing the three of them completely absorbed in sorting through secondhand items, Irving sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

He could already foresee how joyful the atmosphere would be in the pawnshop after it all was over.

"Alright, Carl, don't let Ayesha pay for it. Consider this portable game console a gift from me."

C

Carl was overjoyed at receiving Ayesha's promise when he turned around and saw Irving walking up to him.

"Thanks, Owen." Carl chuckled. "I happen to know a bit about these digital products. Many of these things only have minor flaws on the outside. I can just take them to a repair shop, and with a little fixing, they'll be practically brand new. I can definitely sell them for a lot more money—"

"Alright, then I'll leave this to you." Owen stepped forward, patted Carl on the shoulder, and encouraged him.

Karl nodded, his eyes instantly lighting up.

For him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As long as he can prove his worth, he will no longer be a burden and can stay in the pawnshop indefinitely.

"Alright, you three, stop wasting time here. First, sort these things and move them to the warehouse. Today is a day off, so there will definitely be a lot of customers."

Upon hearing what Owen said, Ayesha and the other two quickly nodded.

Seeing that the three were struggling a bit, and seeing that there was nothing else going on around them, O'Neal immediately signaled to his teammates to help.

A few minutes later.

Just as Irving was busy entering the items into the computer on the cashier's counter.

A car horn suddenly sounded outside the pawnshop.

Immediately afterwards, a cute apricot-yellow Volkswagen Beetle drove up.

The car model is clearly a vintage car produced in the last century and is now discontinued.

In the curious light of Irving's gaze, the Beetle came to a steady stop at the entrance of the pawnshop.

Immediately afterwards, a short, elderly white woman got out of the car.

Irving estimated that the other person should come from a well-off family and be over 70 years old.

She was wearing a beautiful white tulle dress and a vintage-style floral hat, looking very British.

In Owen's memory, he had only seen this kind of outfit in some British TV series and movies.

Seeing the other person push open the pawnshop door and walk in, Owen immediately flashed a bright smile and said enthusiastically, "Hello, madam, how can I help you?"

"I'm here to pawn something." Elizabeth's mood improved considerably after feeling Owen's enthusiasm.

She slowly walked to the counter, took out a jewelry box from her small bag, and gently placed it on the counter.

"pawn?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Owen paused for a moment before realizing what it meant. He then took out a pawn ticket and handed it to the other party: "No problem, please fill in the item information and the agreed pawn period first."

"Just a reminder, ma'am, if you haven't redeemed the item by the agreed pawn period, then our pawnshop will assume ownership of the item by default."
