[QUOTE="OdedPaz, post: 2055002, member: 21096"]I've been to their "store" a couple of times. The last time it was during a filming. Public entrance was forbidden, and only actors were in there, posing as customers. The people "coming in with their items" were well rehearsed and very well scripted. These items must be offered to the show via an online site, and then the producers vet the items, and give the Pawn Shop actors the info on the items, prices, etc. Once the filming was over, all the known actors were gone, the ones posing as buyers were gone, the production crew was gone, and it turned into a store selling modern jewelry, coins (including their silver & gold coins) and other items at exorbitant prices that seem off the charts to me (I think their own 1/10 Oz. gold coin with the old man on it was $275 or so and the silver was $50). Most of the back of the store is transformed into a gift shop, selling "Pawn Shop" show memorabilia, from $25 T-Shirts to $75 sweat shirts and the like. Nothing you see on this show is reality, nothing is real, and the entire show is made for pure entertainment, if you are entertained by this sort of show. And, by the way, ChumLee is very smart. He's making $25,000 per episode!!![/QUOTE]
