Title: Dang it - one of my favorite pawnies is shutting it's doors!
Post by: bonneyman on September 06, 2019, 03:18:37 PM
Just found out this morning. :'( Can't tell you how many tools, drills, DVD's and camping stuff I've bought there over the years. Heck, even got my personalized doorstop from them!
Owner has had evough, said she wants to retire. So I went in there and they had a nice box of plastic ammo containers with snap lids. Grabbed about 10 of them in various sizes and styles - figured they could hold driver bits, drill bits, barrel brushes, and allen wrenches. $1 a piece.

Oh, here's my door stop.

Darn, that's like losing an old friend.

Have had several auctions close over the years so  I feel your pain :'(

I'm gonna cry the day Phil closes his doors for good.

 I'm sure there will always be a secret "backdoor" wherever Phil retires to for his "special FOP "Friends of Phil" customers.

I feel your pain George. When our friend moved to Idaho and took his pawn shop with him we were totally bummed. He treated me good on tools and other things. :(

You should buy her out and take over, George - then you'll ALWAYS have first dibs.  :)

FOP,,,,,,,,,,,,now that made me chuckle.  I likely will need to find a way to peddle tools after I retire so maybe a part time store called FOP Tools :))

An interesting idea. I wonder if my 401k could handle it?   ;D
