If it was me, and I decided I want it, I would tell the pawn shop owner (not some clerk) that "I want to buy it, the this is all I have" - then lay $600 cash on the counter.
Once that's done, I wouldn't say one word until the shop owner responds - remember, he who speaks first, loses.
( Even a fish wouldn't get in trouble, if it would keep it's mouth SHUT )
If he says no, then take your cash and WALK AWAY - there have been a few times when I never made it to the door before I got called back to do the deal.
