Art Conn had only $2.00, but he needed $3.00 for cab fare. So he went to the local pawn shop and pawned his $2.00 for $1.50. Art then bumped into Duncan Drivel and hold him that he would sell his $2.00 pawn ticket for $1.50. Duncan agreed. Since Art started out with $2.00 and he ended up with $3.00, who is out the extra dollar and why?

This is a "confuse the reader" type of riddle.
Here it is in non-confusing detail.
(This is a "solution" I suppose.)

Start:

Art: $2.00
Pawn: A ticket
Duncan: $1.50
Total: $3.50

Art pawns his $2.00 for $1.50.

Art: $1.50, a ticket
Pawn: $0.50
Duncan: $1.50
Total: $3.50

Art sells his ticket.

Art: $3.00
Pawn: $0.50
Duncan: A ticket
Total: $3.50


Edit: You could say Duncan is out the dollar because as described above, in the act of pawning $2.00 for $1.50, what Art did was actually buy a pawn ticket for $0.50.
Then he ripped Duncan off by selling him a ticket worth $0.50 for $1.50, thus making his profit of $1.00.
