The Fence: Pawn Shop Tycoon

You run a pawn shop. People come to your counter with things they want to turn into money, and a story about where those things came from. Some of the stories are true. The best margins are on the items you should not have taken. A career runs four years, one day at a time, in forty to sixty minutes. Each day somebody puts an object on your counter. You get a look at it, a look at them, and a price to argue over. Buy it or pass, put it in the window or the back room, and find out on the day a police officer walks in with a property list. - Four years running a shop where half the stock has a history - Appraise by eye first, then with tools you buy: a loupe, a scale, a serial number lookup, a shelf of specialist books - Every seller is a person with a story, and nervous is not the same as lying - Hot goods are cheap, profitable, and traceable - Police arrive with a list, and what is on your shelves is on you - A back room and out-of-town runners for stock you would rather not display - Your eye for a fake sharpens over the whole career, not over one day A clean shop makes a living. A dirty shop makes money right up until the morning somebody arrives with a list and starts reading it out. The tools tell you what a thing is worth. Nothing tells you where it has been except the person holding it, and they came here to be believed. Plays fully offline. No account, no sign-in, nothing runs while the app is shut. Free, with ads.
