    'Cash Converters' or as I call it, 'House of broken hopes and dreams' :D

    Now I love cash converters (and their ilk) and all their random stuff, but the terrible prices they pay to buy 2nd hand goods and some of the dismal stuff they sell just puts me in mind of poor desperate people, peddling their meagre possessions for pence as they slide inexorably down the slippery slope of misery to the ditch of financial gloom.

    One I went in was selling old picture frames for about 50p, which means some poor sod brought them in to sell and presumably received about 5p to go towards their rent/drugs/pimp costs etc. Desperation indeed.

    There are some Cds in my local Cash Converters which have been on the shelf for a good couple years. Every time I go in to check to see if they have any half-decent or interesting looking Cds they have, they are still there.

    Just shows you can't even give away Steps & S Club rubbish :o
