Who owes whom money (and what amount)? Yes, this is a purposefully complicated exercise meant to attempt to illustrate a point.

Pawnshop#1 should be out $250 for being stupid enough to pay $250 for something it already paid $100 for! and you should have to pay $50 for making me strain my brain trying to follow your example
