Pawn Stars

I was watching Pawn Stars last night when somebody brought in a Pioneer Centrex 8 track tape player/recorder with 45 tapes and someone else brought in two Weltron record players. PS paid the guy $330 for the Pioneer with the tapes and the Weltrons went for over $500 even though one didn't work right. It was interesting as they were listening to the Pioneer when there was no amp or speakers showing. I think the show was about ten years old.

I saw that last night too and also noticed there wasn't any amplification so maybe it was too hideous to show.
They were playing the Steppenwolf tape tho...:thumbsup:
 
I seem to remember some show, maybe Hard Core Pawn or something similar, buying some white van speakers.
I cringed....
 
That show is lame - I don't think Rick Harrison can make a decision to make an offer without calling in someone to give a value.
 
Most of these type shows are fun to watch, but mostly just for show after all. Like storage wars and the genuine Rolex watch still in the original case and box, yeah sure.

Actually they all know too much about most everything that comes thru their door. I get it tho - its TV and 'Reality TV' at that. I really don't expect any more than what I get when I watch it.
I probably can identify with "Old Man" dad, grandpa, Richard B. Harrison more than any of the rest. He was pretty cagey and I don't think much of that was an act.
Sure was a slick Imperial he drove.
 
I know a guy........who was on Pawn Stars.

Seriously.
Lived across the street from me, graduated in same class as me.
He was selling a rare book he'd gotten at a garage sale.
I had it DVR'd but it was lost when my cable dvr box croaked.

Plus the show is totally rigged. I know the son they call Big Hoss.

While I was in Vegas I had a long ride in a cab and the driver told me that the customers in the store during the show are staged. When filming they just let a few people in to make it look like real customers are shopping. When I went to the store you could hardly walk through the store for all the racks selling cheap Pawn Star swag. I guess they move it all out of the way for the show. The store is acually pretty small.
 
I have been to the store also and it is usually packed. Staged yes, but I don't think it is rigged or fake.
It would have to be staged somewhat otherwise it would be a mess to film.

Yep 100% right. Like the “Pickers” antique store in Nashville. Bunch of stuff that’s nots for sale and T-shirt’s and hats.
 
Friend of a friend owns a guitar store in Phoenix, he was invited on the show to fake sell some super rare guitar. He was called into the store as the appraiser to appraise his own guitar. Only show not fake is Antique Roadshow.
 
Most of these "reality" shows make me cringe with the unbelievable unrealistic setups. The awful moonshiners absolutely stunk on ice, I only see bits of them them when my SO is hospitalized and bored crazy.
BTW, I had a pawnshop for a couple years.
