Something I've never seen before....probably due to the government shut down.

I was in a mall with my family and there was this line of people fenced off to sell gold and silver. I’ve been to this mall for years and have seen the gold buyer but have ever seen a line.

And of course there was a big sign in plain view while the sellers were doing the transaction.

All sales are final.

People are selling meaningful things, jewelry their grandmothers left to them and family heirlooms, so the can pay for their housing and buy food. This is so disgraceful. Trump should be impeached for this shutdown. It’s an abuse of power.

When you aren't getting paid, you will do whatever you can to bring some money in.

This works.
