Customer: "I have this item, I think it's super-rare"
Rick: "Well, let's call an expert and see what they think."
Expert: "Wow. That is a super-rare item. Easily worth $100,000"
Customer: "Great!"
Rick: "I'll give you $3.50 for it. I gotta make a profit too, ya know."
Customer: "Well, that's less than I was hoping, but okay."

hmm... I guess pawn shops in general are pretty stupid, as are the people who patronize them

I can't tell you anything about that.

Let me call a buddy, he's an expert in scripted television.

Hardcore Pawn. A few of their other American Jewelry and Loan stores closed down last year. I went into one with my baby mama to see if they had anything cool and this dude kept trying to sell me engagement rings. I kept telling him no but he kept on trying.

All of those shows sucked.

I did like American Restoration though. But I have 0 doubt in my mind that there was some fuckery going on with that one. Probably something like them having a team of 40 guys working on a project to bust it out juuuuust right instead of a small family working on the projects "The American Way".

He has on his podcast before, but there isnt much of a story. Basically he was asked to be on the show to sell his carts

As for the topic, the fun of the show was just seeing what was brought in despite it being scripted

Only desperate people go to pawn shops to sell things. Of course they're not making anything close to what they could.

Even if most of it was fake, Hardcore Pawn was still the more realistic depiction of a pawn shop tbh. It's not just people coming in with rare and valuable items while the owners joke around in the back. It's low-income people pawning whatever they can find to make ends meet.

At the time, the first couple seasons mainly stood out for the dynamic between the Old Man, Rick (bald guy), and his son/Chumlee. And that they were showcasing generally somewhat interesting wares that I don't think you'd expect to come across at just any pawn shop.

Show was dumb for sure, but people who think they should get full item value when selling to a pawn shop are equally as dumb.

i've said it for years. the only reality shows that are truly reality are cops, live pd, and to catch a predator. if it's not on that list, it's not real.

You think to catch a predator was real? There's no way with all the things they did that blatantly broke the law, that any lawyer could have told them, it wasn't all set-up.
