Homeless, I'm not an autoharp player but I've seen enough of them for sale to think that 79 USD would be a lot to pay for a pawned autoharp. A quick check on eBay turned up several for significantly less money. If you like the one at the pawn shop, tell them the price is too high and all you can afford to spend is 50 USD. Those shops are used to haggling over price.
