He attended high school in Las Vegas and went to Arizona State University. Scot later moved to Lake Cormorant to help his family run Keller's Pawn.     [01:52] Scot encourages small pawnshop owners to go to conventions to meet with veterans in the business   [02:51] “For the amount of money you get charged, especially at the smaller conventions, it’s worth every dime.”   [03:14] Scot recounts in his younger days, the strategy he would use to get products at the flea market cheaper than usual     [06:30] Mississippi is lenient with the regulations. They charge 25%, holds for 2 months and allowed to hold buys for 2 weeks if they do automatic computer transfers to police and 3 weeks if uploading or faxing pawn tickets to the police   [07:44] Based on the zip code of the Keller’s Pawn, there are 2,200 people with a median income of $45,000 and a ratio of males to females is 75 percent to 25 percent.

But if they wanna take their time, to stay, absolutely stay!”     [12:06] Being able to play multifaceted roles to attend to your customers, gives you a better outcome   [12:46] “I have great customers that I see on bad days”   [18:58] Lessons learned:  Don’t be afraid to admit to mistakes Be willing to try everything, even if it doesn’t work Have fun
