"who are the usual clients for purchases?"

Not to over-simplify, but it's people looking for a bargain. Locals from all sorts of occupations, plus travelers who say they stop in every pawn shop they see.

"Sort of like a concentrated garage sale."

I don't know about the 'concentrated' part but thats exactly how I look at selling the un-redeemed stuff. It's tough selling used items. Someone walks in and looks interested in something I have for sale I'll do my best to make sure he walks out with it. It's not like Lowes where there's a stedy stream of buyers walking in every day. The only things I put price tags on are the long guns, if someone wants to buy something they have to engage me to find out what it will cost. That's my opportunity to feel them out as to what kind of buyer they are, so my opening price may vary somewhat.

"Guns are overpriced. I bought a new Ruger cheaper at Wally World."

I'm sorry there are shops like that. Nobody will make a statement like that about my place. There's no point in buying used unless it's a good deal.
