“I will not be bartered with.” proceeds to take $400 less than he originally asked

Pawn Stars was a wild show to watch at the time, one minute someone's trying to sell a moldy quarter that George Washington's brothers ,cousins, nephews, former roommate sneezed on. Then 10 minutes later some bozo comes in with a once in a lifetime priceless artifact that's worth a gorgellion, only to be sold for like 3 sheckles and a pat on the back.

Chumlee was easily the most popular person on the show. Apparently they WAY played up the stupidity, which isn't a shock.

The man selling the register is my cousin Chad. He was on a Vegas trip with friends so the entire trip was basically non-stop drinking (he was super drunk when they filmed this.) My family shows this episode to everyone they meet, they're so proud he was on tv. I feel bad for him since I know he is embarrassed as hell about it.

I worked at a pawn shop when this show was in its peak popularity, which encouraged everyone to bring in super niche antiques and when we'd all be like "sorry I have no idea what this is or what its worth" they would ask us to call our experts... and I had to explain that we didn't have those. There's another pawn reality show that was wiiiiild, Pawn Kings? all I remember is the door security dragging someone out w a fake rolex or something (way more realistic pawn shop xp lol)

Anyone else notice Chad wants to ask some poor girl to get married while wearing a game over bride and groom shirt? Lol

When Grandpa Harrison passed away, his wife received 49% ownership of the pawn shop. Rick has refused to allow anyone to go over the pawn shops books. Theres a real nasty legal battle going on right now moatly because third parties are pushing Ricks mom to sue her son. In fact the 81 year old woman has sued a company she owns 100% of.

This show has always been one of my biggest guilty pleasures. I know it sucks. I know every word is scripted. I know all of the sales negotiations are settled beforehand. I could still watch hours and hours of this show and never get bored.

I’m here to watch Chris James on Chris angel :best I can do is pawn stars

Yeah, Chum losing weight probably does have to do with the History Channel money. And all the meth he was buying with it.

I lived near the Pawn Shop for years and it was always weird walking by the giant line of people out the door attempting not to make awkward eye contact

Imagine if that book was legit, the way they're thumbing through it and getting their greasy mitts all over it would be so painful 😂

I have never heard of Rick’s laugh being described as holding in a cough in class 😂😂😂

I can't believe my mom loved this show as much as she did. Between this and Storage Wars, she'd never stop watching them. 💀

I know of a couple that went to Las Vegas solely to go to their pawn shop. Not for the sight seeing, landmarks, history, not for the casinos, not for the bars, nightlife … nope. Pawn Stars. They flew all that way from the east coast …. to be shuffled around in a line in a store to stare at stuff no one could buy (unless they brought a lot of money) … a store where the cast wasn’t even working at due to the show’s popularity. All most could buy was Pawn Stars merch lol. To say that couple wasn’t the brightest is an understatement. I guess they expected to walk right into the pawn shop like they do in the show and meet them one on one or something lol. I found it funny because it was only then they had the realization it was fake and swore to never watch it again after that.

So the guy wants to marry his girlfriend but he’s wearing a tshirt that depicts marriage and says “game over”?

This was an ingenious move by history Channel along withbstorage wars. They tricked a bunch of people into learning as long as they thought it was trashy TV about people getting swindled

Ricks laugh sounds like a diesel truck trying to start up on a cold winter day.

This is at the time where no one could tell Chumlee what to do because he got that "fuck you money" from the history channel.
