Also the same shop that offered me $50 for a pristine Electra Amsterdam 9 speed, so I would honestly like to lowball and see if they go for it. Principal, ya know

Some ridiculous former owner put bike shop bumper stickers on both sides of the top tube, and there's a small ding in the top tube just forward of the cable guide. Overall it is clean/shiny and looks to have minimal mileage.,,,,BD
This is NOT the bike in question, but the frame is the spitting image. Same color and graphics. Yep, it has downtube shifters.

Check the price tag for a letter code. If you can crack the code, you'll know how much the pawn shop has in the bike. Letters that are repeated are probably zeros. Look at some $20 items and see if the first letters are the same. If they are, then the first letter is probably a 1.
Common codes are:
MONEYTALKS M=1 O=2 ...S=0 etc
MARYLOUISE
BLACKHORSE
VOLKSWAGEN
DAYORNIGHT
NIGHTORDAY
