I'm missing something here, I know it. My contact with pawn shops has been a bit limited - I bought a VCR at one years ago back in college and sold off a stereo I didn't use any more, but that's been about the extent of my contact.
There are two ways it works.

"Take this and give me cash so I can buy some weed, thanks goodbye"

or

"Hold this as collateral for a loan and I'll pay you a storage fee every month until I repay you"

If in the second example you miss a "storage" payment he can sell it to recoup his cash outlay.
