[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1304044, member: 29581"]You're correct. The people coming into the Goldman's shop are bringing in items typical of a pawn shop, i.e. electronics, hand tools, some jewelry(a lot of which turns out to be fake or plated and not worth anything), etc. In response to vdbpenny: Pawn Stars puts out a casting call for people with interesting, or high valued items to bring by for the producers to examine and the more interesting and valuable items with the owners are selected for the show. I've worked in pawn shops, and done business with many, and that would be the LAST place someone with a high value item would go to sell it because pawn shops are lowballers. Most shops don't deal with firearms because of the expense of acquiring and maintaining a FFL, not needed for antique firearms. The most popular items brought into a shop are gold and precious stoned jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, and a small number of numismatic items. Documents from the 18th century, especially, any signed by a POTUS or some member of Congress or the head of an Government agency from that era, or 18th century era tintypes, etc., not even on a good day do they come into the shops. Pawn Stars is staged, 100%.[/QUOTE]
