    Haha, I enjoy it. Always catch myself watching like 4 episodes in a row. It's pretty sweet. Some cool shit comes through there

    If Corey was twice as smart he'd still be stupid.

    I couldn't see selling something for $200 when two minutes earlier an appraiser told me it was worth $900.

    The first time I watched it, I thought it was stupid, but now it's one of my favorite shows on TV... I'd like to spend some time looking around that store.

    It's worth $900 if you find the right buyer at the right moment... and if you need to sell it, and can't find that person, then it's worth whatever you can get for it.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    yes I love it, it is the west coast trash version of antique road show (pickers is the trailer trash version)


    people here seem to forget the pawn shop is a business to make money. You can't buy something worth 600 and sell it for 600 and profit. Most places like this will give you 50% of value max, like a car dealer. If I buy I new car and drive it off the lot, and then put it in reverse and sell it the next moment I'll get maybe half. I just got 1500 for a car they sold for 4200


    it is all about the cash on this show, and if you are going to a pawn shop you really need cash!

    Pretty cool show. I was shocked the other day when I read this is one of the highest rated shows on cable...something like 6-7 million people watch an episode. Crazy.

    I was just reading that Rick Dale, the guy that fixes the Coke machines, gas pumps and motorcycles is getting is own show now. I also read that the shop use to have about 40 customers a day, now they have over 1,000 and are expanding the shop by 60% due to the success of the show. I don't watch anything but sports on T.V. but that show has me hooked for some reason.

    I like the gigantic Portrait of Jim Morrison in there,

    Hmm, I gather from the posts here that this is not a show about sexy chess-masters getting wild on a chess board.

    Disappointing.

    sadly i watch it. :lol:

    but yeah, some people are stupid and do seem to get ripped off. hate the people that go in and don't know anything about what they are selling and say, i have no idea what this is worth, what will you give me for it. i'd be getting $ signs in my eyes with those customers.

    I love this show! Not quite sure why its on the History channel, but whatever.... I dont watch anything else on the History channel so i guess they're trying to widen their demographic.

    I like to see people go in there, like Im not leaving with less than X dollars....
    Then the big man comes out and is like, no way in hell im gonna give you anymore than x
    and there just like, ok, good deal :lol:

    suckers!! just go sell your shit on ebay if u want that much.
