Bruce Duncan cashed the check in June (seven months ago at this point) and has refused our phone calls. After researching, I've learned this guy operates out of his residence in Northbrook, IL. The Better Business Bureau gave him an F rating, with six complaints filed within the past three years and three within the past twelve months (make it four). His 'business' is not BBB Accredited. Further, according to the Washington Post, Duncan was sentenced to 10 months in prison in 1991 and fined $47,000 for helping to place mounts of illegally hunted endangered animals in the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. This is not someone you want to do business with. Note: he refuses to operate via email or on paper.

Now I know pawn shop prices are no where near retail and I'd only receive a fraction of the pawn price, but I was offered $25 for all three combined) Might be a nice place to get something for your lady or unload high-end estate jewelry, but I would not expect a "pawn shop"
