<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 973622, member: 19065&quot;]The show is sensationalism on the order of PT Barnum, &quot;A sucker is born every minute.&quot; In this case the <i>suckers</i> being conditioned are the audience, ooh-ing, ah-ing and persuaded into believing the hype about selling to pawn shops and the blunt laugh-in-your-face values Rick passes down to the contestants who get selected to sell something on the show. Pawn Stars / The History Channel is bringing the low-brown version of PBS&#039; Antiques Roadshow to the cable subscribing couch potatoes by waving outstanding gimmicky headlines in episode trailers/descriptions. Don&#039;t drink the koolaid and sell to Rick and the gang folks! If you take any lesson away from the show, do your homework and avoid the Pawn dealer when you need to sell something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
