Can't see why people hate Rick and pawn shops for what they do. Of course your going to get less than what your item is worth. They have to make their money and in the end they just offer a price and if you accept it then its your own fault.
Another cool show is hardcore pawn on trutv. Now since its on TruTV some parts are probably fake, but its a pawn shop in detroit with 90% of their customers are black... Needless to say Hellblazer would go ape shit if he watched one episode.

What a coincidence! Saw this show for the first time yesterday.
Was told a story by someone who appeared on the show. He had an old car that he wanted to sell to them. Off-camera they asked him to rip out some interior part so it'd look more worn, and agreed to pay him $3,000 for doing so.
On-camera they said, "well, this part of the interior has been removed..." and they didn't buy it.
He still got $3,000 off camera just for appearing on the show and ripping out part of his car.

This doesn't surprise me one bit, I definitely get the feeling that alot of it is staged when I watch, but that doesn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying it. Some of those super old school guns they bought like the Blunderbuss or whatever were sweet as hell.
Those memes are hilarious btw
My local shop sells anything over $500 in value on ebay with the exception of guns.
I could make about $200 a week extra from my pawnshop by just buying stuff they have to move.
If you like pawn stars, look into a show called "Storage Wars".
Basically, when people can't pay the fee to keep their storage locker, the entire locker is auctioned out. The buyers can look but can't touch prior to bidding.

This is an oldie but a goodie. What's funnier is I have a friend who does this kind of buying/flipping shit for a living and he's exactly like this guy.
Yeh, i have friend who buys and sells mac books on craigslist. It cracks me up, he's a pro at the shit.
Any one else notice that the shop doesn't look anything like it does on TV. Do they have a studio in the backroom or something?

That's a great show too. They find some pretty crazy shit. Pawn stars is entertaining from the host to the clients that come in.
So how rich are the pawn guys getting from their show? The pawn shop looks like a real money making machine in its own right. I was in Vegas recently, and the Pawn shop was definitely mentioned as a tourist destination.
Get a bit tired of Rick's smoker laugh.
