<p>[QUOTE="Pilkenton, post: 870967, member: 23961"]People are comparing this pawn shop to others. This is a TV show. If it's on the show, I betcha Rick and them have no control over what is bought or sold. The show probably foots the bill if something is bought. I'm almost positive the show rounds up all these oddball people with their oddball stuff...if these guys are even real customers or just actors. Selling fighter plane ejection seats bring in more ratings than someone pawning their high school class ring because they lost too much at the casino.</p><p><br /></p><p>These so called experts, if they are real, wouldn't bother going to anyone's shop to appraise anything unless there is something in it for them. Maybe it's free advertising, or a check in the mail...nobody's gonna do it for free.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is reality TV. The wilder the better...whether it's selling Soviet ICBM launch keys to a pawn shop or singing "Pants on the Ground" on American Idol. Just like Judge Judy, there might be a winner and loser on the show, but NOBODY walks away empty-handed. Yeah, this pawn shop is legit, but would they really buy an old sundial from you if there were no Pawn Stars?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
