Pawn Shows

Do any of you watch any of those pawn shows...pawn queens, pawn stars, etc.?

I find them fascinating. BUT I'm always amazed at people that want X amount for something and act so surprised when they can't get it.

Hello...it's a PAWN shop! lol

Me!!!

I love Pawn Stars. Some of the stuff on there is pretty neat to see but ITA about the prices. They're TOTALLY SHOCKED when they don't get the money for what the item is "valued" at. I laugh every time.

never heard of it. I think the closest thing I used to watch to this show is Road Shows (I htink it was called) where people brought their antique stuff to see how much it was worth.

we watch it now and then, they make me laugh
i tried to sell some diamond earrings at a local pawn shop and while i know they are worth 475 i was ok with like 200, they offered me $50!

I have watched it a couple times, but I just didn't get hooked!

And I just have to say.....everytime I see this thread, I read it as Porn Shows, not Pawn Shows.

now that's a ridiculous offer!

I like that one & one that I think is called "Hardcore Pawn?" I think it's funny of some of the stuff that people bring in, like on Hardcore Pawn, some girl brought in her stash of thongs. Really??? Who would want to buy your used underwear???

I've watched a couple of times and, yeah, people are weird.

And, having worked in the jewelry business, I know there is a big difference between replacement value and resale value on jewelry (or just about anything).
