Balance pawnshop prices
Bringing this over from GitHub
Feature you are requesting.
The prices of the items in the pawnshop, the items that you sell basically (Rolex, Gold chain, jewels, bongs), should be adjusted.
What are the benefits to your feature?
Rolex sells for $200
Gold chain sells for $200
Jewels sells for $250
Bong sells for $200
Well, a gold chain or a rolex has the same value as a bong, for some reason, and it kind of don't make any sense.
The jewels are just $50 above the bong price as well.
Either the bong price should be lowered, or all the others should be higher, since they are more precious.
It would just make more sense this way. The rolex, gold chains and jewels aren't that common as well.
Anything to support your feature request?

To explain these prices a bit:
Right now unless you get something valuable like a laptop or a pack of 10G drugs, or some advanced lockpicks to compensate, or even a key (which implies for it to be used and put yourself at risk even more) breaking inside a house could get you no profit - if the lockpick breaks at the first house you hit and you don’t get anything of good value from inside. This has happened to me plenty of times.
Just like selling drugs, this is something illegal that should make you money, because it’s a pretty risky job, since you can’t even see if the cops will be waiting outside for you when you are gonna leave the house.
Last time I robbed some houses, I’ve done a mass robbery of 12 houses in total. And what I got was:
~ 4 laptops
~ 3 bongs
~ 4 rolexes
~ 3 gold chains
~ 3 jewels
~ 1 advanced lockpick
And some small stuff like a combat pistol, a shotgun, joints, food and water.
Sell everything at the pawnshop (except the lockpick) and you’d make right now around $11,000. To do this I’ve used around 4-5 advanced lockpicks, bought at 2.5k each -> 10-12.5k investment. So overall I believe robbing houses should yeld a bigger profit for every house you rob, not only when you get a key, drugs, laptops or advanced lockpicks, which are rare.
