I've been watching on netflix. I've watched 18 episodes in 2 and a half days! Lol! This show appeals to me on so many levels. Cars, bikes, guitars, antiques, haggling, buying low and selling high. There is so much drama. There are 3 generations working there. It's set in Vegas. Love it!

Just that he's their scapegoat.

I watch it all the time,best darn show ever.
I especially liked the one where Rick sent chum to get Bob Dylan's autograph, on Self Portrait LP.
Mr. Dylan makes it out to Chumly,Rick was not happy,gotta love the chum.

Yep, we get it up here in Canada too. Love the bit with the "1960" Les Paul Custom that turned out to be a '70s vintage

Wasn't there an episode where the lead guitarist from cheap trick wanted to sell his Les Paul?

DUDE! Episode 15 season 2!!! Dude brings in a french double barrel, flint lock, shotgun type thing with a bayonet from the late 1700's I think? And it was amazing!! He traded even for a 197? Les Paul that looks brand new. It was an excellent transaction!!

Seen a lot of these shows. Actually like it quite well.
Saw some really neat stuff when I was Pawn Broking.
Though most of it came to me because of my gunsmith position.
Don't get the idea that operating a pawn shop is fun.
Most of the people are mad at the world or trying to sell what they just stole.
And can't understand the shop is "investing" in there merchandise, so your prized possession is worth 1/5 to 1/3 of wholesale market value.
Not what you paid for it
F'n sad really.

I got all excited when I first read the name o' this thread, cuz I thought you were talkin' "porn stars," but saying it with an accent.
Ah must say that Ah have never met an ackshul pawn star before, Ah've only seen 'em on the screen...
