Thinking of visiting a pawn shop. What should I know?

So, I've never been to a pawn shop before. I'm curious what's there, but TV makes them seem shady and odd. What should I know before I visit? I'm sort of expecting a cross between an antique and a thrift store, that sort of vibe.
I'm in the USA and don't intend to pawn anything.

It's just a store. Sometimes you can haggle. Sometimes there's screaming deals. I bought a Nintendo Switch for $150 a month after it was released.
Not so much of a deal after the second month.
I see what you did there. I'm wondering if others don't get it, or just don't like the joke.
It took me longer than it should have to get it.
I am missing the joke entirely
Replace "a month" with "per month"
OH
damnit I'm an idiot sometimes
Switch and a miss
If they still have it it's worth more than a brand new switch, the first models are sort after because you can jailbreak them
