When you're on a seriously slim budget, every penny counts, and pawnshops are an absolute godsend in your lofty estimations. Not only do they have an enormous inventory of games to choose from but you can use your possessions to buy them instead of of money!

Granted, once your guitar and your second controller have been chopped in (for far less than they're worth), you have to get creative. A truckload of CDs and DVDs will only be worth a dodgy looking copy of GTA IV and your prized Dragonball Z statuette collection might get you half a refurbished iPhone - it's all about innovation.

The one thing you never seem to use is your existing game collection and even when you do, you discover your favourite titles are utterly worthless - CeX are currently offering £17 for Ghost Recon: Wildlands... REALLY!?
