What brands are respected freestyle BMX bikes? I thought Mongoose where cheap kids bikes but they're everywhere. From what I can tell I should be looking for one that's 20". I'd like to ride street and vert for now and am looking for something under $150.

Answer
20" has a lot of possibilities... it would take a while to find one under 150, i would expect to find one under 200. go on danscomp.com , they have a lot of bikes. heres 2 under 200

Do pawn shops have a set price for items they buy?

Like lets say you wanna sell a guitar to them. Do they already know without looking at it that the most they can spend on it is lets say $40 because they might sell it for $120. (electric guitar, decent brand) or are they actually willing to spend a little more because they know it might be worth it. Or another example is with a bike. I own a Trek mountain bike worth about $900 retail. going about $500 used. I took it to a pawn shop the other day and tried to sell it. Before the lady even looked at it she said she can only pay $25. She explained that those bikes are going for about $100 new. But she ASSUMED I had some cheap kids bike. So do they have a set price on what they can spend on certain items?

Answer
Business owners are free to set the prices they will pay.

Many pawn shops avoid high-ticket items for fear of them being confiscated as stolen. Perhaps if you brought in a sales receipt and confirmed product registration to prove ownership.
