Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Pawn Stars

The star of a Las Vegas-based, hit reality television show is a real-life con man, Gambling911.com can reveal exclusively!

"Pawn Stars," recently renewed for a second season, is one of the most popular programs on the American cable TV network The History Channel.

The show follows the people who run a pawn shop, Gold and Silver Pawn, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, and the customers who come in to the shop with a wacky variety of bizarre items they want to sell or pawn.

The pawn shop is located on a seedy part of northern Las Vegas Boulevard--the so-called Las Vegas Strip--and is near the Stratosphere Tower.

The shop is run by Rick Harrison, the star of the show, along with Harrison's father, known as "The Old Man," and Harrison's son, called "Big Hoss."

Amazingly--or perhaps not, considering the nature of the pawn business--Harrison is said to be a con man.

And the TV channel that broadcasts his show are the ones who outed him!

A blurb about "Pawn Stars" on The History Channel website, www.history.com, reads: "After 28 years in the business, Rick Harrison is an expert when it comes to spotting anything fake or stolen.

"As far as big-ticket items, Rick is the man for the job. Spotting a fake Cartier watch that most people would mistakenly purchase for $30,000 is just one of his many skills.

"Often acting as the middleman between his father and his son, Rick is the glue that holds this family and business together. Trained in the pawn business from the age of 13, Rick was born a hustler.

"He even dropped out of high school to pursue his $2,000-a-week business of selling fake Gucci bags. With enough money to partner with his father at the age of 23, he never looked back."

From illegal counterfeit designer goods peddler to reality show TV star.

Only in America and only in Las Vegas!

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

I think it's nice that rick and his dad joke about his kid taking over. I also like the little skits when they pretend they're upset with Corey. Chub lee and Corey are pretty well the poster boys of the all American dream, eat everything in sight, take alot of mind altering drugs , buy a bunch of shit with other peoples money, and get to be on tv. I have a friend who has a mentally challenged son and it's no laughing matter, but somehow rick has turned his sons mental shortcomings into the funniest thing on the history channel. Tell your dad to f&):@$ck off again Corey, it's perfect.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

ALL Pawn shop owners/employees con you (or TRY to con you) out of $$, not just the guy's on Pawn Stars, that's their frigging JOB, to make lots and lots of MONEY! With that said, Rick Sr seems pretty well educated in US History and well versed for someone who left school to go make 2k per week!.. I did like to watch the show once in a while just to see the antique and weird crap all these broke-ass, illiterate, trailer-failure morons bring in, but I quit watching cause I just couldn't stand stupid Chumlee who is a complete fucking retard! I WISH they would shit-can that big retarded sack of dog shit, I have never seen anyone that fucking brain-dead stupid in my entire life, even scripted you just cant be that fucking DUMB! That retarded, inbred, overgrown, dumb fuck has absolutely NO brains whatsoever and never does what he's told and has NO manners or class, If I EVER spoke out to my employers the way he constantly does I would have been out on the street jobless!, he should be fired and should also be butt-fucked for 72 hours straight by a big black Rhino with AIDS!! I like the Old Man, he's a fucking hoot and reminds me of my late grand father who would tell you like it is and never had any problem telling folks where they, and the fucking camel they rode in on could go straight back to! LOL .. Rick Jr (Hoss) is totally useless to the show and annoying, I'll bet he and asshead Chumlee gurgle each others gay ass-jizz-blasts every night, their a real pair of fucking Shrimp boat pirates! LMFAO! NoOcH!

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

To the author of the article, you are a FUCKING MORON. Who gives a shit if he sold some fake Gucci bags as a kid? I would too if it got me $2k a week. Also, to all of you other people commenting on this, you are also morons. Pawn stars is a good show. Of course it's staged and there is a lot of noticeable crap to it, but what show isn't staged nowadays? Quit being nitpicking little faggots.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

In actuallity your the moron. It's really sick that you'd stand up for those who enjoy ripping of people. Tells what type person you are!!!!!!!

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Holy JUMPED-UP-JESUS! A pawn shop owner who's committed some shady, illegal merchandise trafficking? Way to go, gumshoe! That's F#@*ING BRILLIANT! Get a life, you cock-blocking hater. It's hard to imagine you could sound any more childish; did Mommy not hold you enough? Or maybe you're just an old-fashioned, stereotypical "Victim," unable to let go of a grudge from grade school? Now you're out there defending the rest of us, trying to make sure OTHER PEOPLE don't get screwed like you; very noble sounding, but until you can wrestle that victim/entitlement state of mind back into the closet(Where it belongs, with your OTHER skeletons), and realize that you can hate THE ENTIRE WORLD, but it won't help you. Until you purge the self-loathing that is the root of your problem. Now be polite, or someone will end up shitting in you AND your daughters mouths!!!

2011 Austin 'Chumlee' Russell Get daily news, spy shots and more! Here's a little celeb news to make you smile -- or cry, or maybe scratch your head, depending on your point of view: Austin "Chumlee" Russell from the reality series Pawn Stars is now motoring around Vegas in a Maserati GranTurismo. According to TMZ, the Chumster visited his local Maserati showroom last Thursday to give the car a once-over. By the time he rolled out of there, he'd talked down the dealer from an asking price of $100,000 to $85,000. Apparently, hanging out with expert hagglers has its benefits.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Half way through the first season, I started suspecting that this show was fake and completely staged. When I saw the segment about the crashed helicopter that Rick bought, where it was restored, I did a little web surfing to research the show. In the episode about the helicopter, the helicopter was completely demolished. There was little that was salvageable from the smashed up airframe, rotors, engine and cockpit that was strewn across the hanger floor. Rick bought this basket case for $10,000.00 and just happened to have a buddy who ran a helicopter F.B.O. at the local muni airport; this buddy was on scene to appraise the wreckage remaining from the crashed helicopter, where he told Rick the $10,000.00 was a fair price and that he could restore it for about $90,000.00, where Rick could sell it for $125,000.00. So Rick, who usually balks at buying anything reasonable, takes the leap and buys a crashed helicopter, that doesn't even look like a helicopter anymore. He pays buys the helicopter for $10K and lets his buddy restore it. Well in only two weeks, the basket case helicopter is "restored" to as good as new condition, where the cost of restoration is almost exactly as quoted by his "buddy" who is the helicopter expert. In the end of the segment, the old man is selected as the cast member to take a first ride in the newly restored helicopter. First of all, there is no way he could have restored that helicopter in two weeks. Just finding and ordering parts would have taken months. Additionally, airworthiness inspections for the various stages of restoration would have taken a couple months to schedule and complete by various FAA inspectors. The helicopter that was in pieces in the hangar was probably still in pieces in the hangar and the helicopter the old man flew away in was a completely different helicopter. As a former military aviator and owner of a couple general aviation aircraft, this whole episode stunk from the get go. There was no way that crashed helicopter could have been restored, at best it could have been stripped for a few parts, but most of it, especially the main airframe was tweaked and bent beyond restoration. The engine would have had to been completely gone through and rebuilt if possible because the aircraft had a major prop strike, most likely bending the crank and damaging the valves. The rotors were completely damaged, where the entire rotor assemblies, including the main rotor mast would have been replaced. It would have been much more cost effective to go out and look for the same type of helicopter in good condition that was completely airworthy and ready to go. Then there was the episode with the guy who was stuck with a glider/sailplane because he was owed rent by some tenants. The story goes that this guy rented a house to some people who came up short on their rent, due to financial problems, the tenants moved out and gave the guy the sailplane to pay for back rent. The guy/landlord who claimed no knowledge of sailplanes/gliders called Rick at the pawn shop and asked if he would like to buy the old sailplane. Rick comes out to the site(the rental house) and takes a look at the glider. After some haggling, and of course with the consultation of another "expert" buddy, Rick buys the sail plane and has it restored to sell it in the future. Well as it turns out, the poor landlord who knew nothing about the sailplane is actually an instructor at the local glider/sailplane field. The glider that needed restoration, the one Rick supposedly bought, was not the same aircraft that was supposedly restored at the end of the episode. For all of you that think people are getting ripped off by this show, you can relax. Most of the stuff on the show is never exchanged or sold, they are merely props brought in for filming the contrived episodes. Many of the people on the show, the people offering items to sell are just actors or people who were paid to bring their unusual items in for filming the episode. Most of the items restored by Rick of Rick's restoration are actually supplied by Rick, where some actor is paid to feign a desire to sell the item to the pawn shop. The gas pump, the coke machinge, etc. The coke machine that was supposedly restored is a completely different coke machine than the old coke machine needing restoration. The same gas pump(the green restored machine) that the pawn shop supposedly had restored, is now used as a prop for the new Restoration show. Sometimes, they have used the same actor to play different people as would be customers/clients. Additionally, some of the experts are located in California. Yeah, these same experts just happen to drop everything and run down to the pawn shop at Rick's beckon call. The expert just drops in and gives his two cents and walks out the door when finished. Rick's "thanks" is all they desire to keep them happy and to keep them coming whenever the Pawn Stars call.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Just another run down shit hole pawn shop in a bad part of town. Smartest guy in here is the big black dude sitting on his ass by the door, getting paid to look like a security dick. Don,t go in here expecting to see the so called tv stars cause they rarely are there, and even if they are, you may have to leave the store so they can film an appraisal --notice on tv that there's nobody in the store when they're doing a high price appraisal - that's cause they,re shy & don't want anybody watching them fucking someone up the ass. You can buy a overpriced underquality t-shirt from a rude bimbo that would be better suited sucking cock in the alley behind the store, use the shirt to wipe cum off your dck if she doesn't swallow it all

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

The pawn shop is located in the seedy part of Las Vegas ( need I say more?) I've watched and I am just amazed at what people take for their items. I don't understand their mindset. When people go to Rick's pawn shop they either are in need of money or they want to be on TV. What really amazes me is that they take a quarter of what its worth while Rick stares them down. If you really want to stick it to them, just place a bigger price on it and negotiate it down to the price you want. Of course the item has to be worth it to begin with. The phrase....."what's your concern about this" is done to often and sounds as lame as the ones saying it.. they really need better writers. Chumley can't be that uneducated, but then again art imitates life. If you like the show then watch it, if you don't then don't watch it.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Agreed about watching and not warching just know the shows transactions are 99% all fake !!!!!!! A fake show with fake idiot cast members !!!!! Thank god for this because I'd feel really sorry for those that would be getting SCEWED BY THOSE GUYS !!!!!!

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

How every episode of Pawn Stars goes. Guy goes in to Rick Harrison's pawn shop, asking for change for a dollar. Rick says, "Let me call a guy to take a look at it. He knows all about dollars." Rick goes back in the store room and does a cut scene with the cameraman. "This is a US Dollar Bill. It's been the standard for economies around the world for generations, and I'd love to have it for my shop...but I'm going to have to get it for the right price." The expert comes in and says, "Well, it's a genuine dollar bill. You can tell from the picture right there in the center of Washington, and the number ones in all four corners. I'd say it's worth about one dollar." Rick says, "So, do you want to pawn it or sell it?" The guy says, "I'd like change for it." Rick says, "Well, what are you looking to get out of it?" The guy says, "Well, your friend says it's worth a dollar, so I'll take four quarters." Rick says, "Look, in perfect condition, this would be worth a dollar, but this dollar is NOT in perfect condition. The best I can do is 25 cents. Besides, there's just not a market for this kind of stuff. I mean, I have overhead. It will sit on my shelf for years, I'll have to get it cleaned up and framed." The guy breaks down and takes the quarter. Chumley says, "How do you change a dollar? Is it like a transformer?" The old man says, "Shut up, Chumley! That was a month's pay back in my day."

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

This guy who posted on 8/23/2011- 21:25 hit the nail on the head when he gave the run down on what goes on during an episode of "Pawn Stars" this is pretty much how any object that might have a little bit of obscurity is treated, and frankly, this is a perfect to-scale representation of how the negotiating goes. He gives the chump price right off the bat, and he finds off if the person is a chump and he can get the item for cheap. However, people who are stoic, and keep bargaining seem to fare better than those who cave after two or three offer/counter offers. I agree that Rick does huff and puff and tout about his knowledge, while I will admit that he is pretty knowledgeable about a lot of things, though there are times where I want a customer to correct him and say no, you are wrong, here is why, but that would just end up with that guy getting booted out of the store and it never making it past the editor. As far as all of the people complaining that he is a con-man, has anyone ever been to a flea market, or to a farmer's market? Hello, if you are buying a "Gucci" Bag for 25$, then first of all, you are better at managing your money than anyone who pays that much for a handbag, second of all, if you are buying a handbag from a guy named Rick, Larry, Tron, or Buzz in a booth at the local fair or farmer's market do you honestly think that you are buying the genuine article? If so you need to take some Ginkgo Biloba and read a little bit about Economics, and Psychology. Also, by the very fact that you are purchasing a counterfeit bag off of a "Con-man" you are guilty of being in possession of said counterfeit bag, so it is a circuitous argument. As far as the people that are complaining about pawn shops being a rip off, well they have a service that people "Choose" to use and no one is holding a gun to anyone's head saying you have to sell it at this price, I know several times, after watching people get items appraised and then sell them to the pawn shop for 3-4k below retail, if they just had some patience and sold it out right, or to a collector, put it on consignment somewhere, or sold it online, they have their avenues other than pawn, but its Vegas and most of these people are getting ripped off, just so they can go get ripped off by the Casino's which always have the odds in favor of the house. So while many people have been complaining that he is a thief, or a jerk, anyone who has been in business knows that if you aren't firm and don't adhere to your business principles and you give everyone with some sob story a break, you are going to go out of business. I agree that I see trades and sales all of the time where I am honestly like, Hell, I would buy that off of you for more than he is offering. Though, they don't always come out on top, they buy crap that is worthless, they make mistakes and have to eat the loss, it is a business after all. And most of the time people that are selling things at a pawn shop, don't always have the best business sense, need the money that very second, and the people that find things that didn't cost them much and just are happy to have a reliable place to go where they can sell an item that is unusual, or unique. It is exacerbated because this Pawn Shop is in a seedy part of Las Vegas, and after all it is Las Vegas, and people need money to gamble, and they are desperate to pay off a marker, or to have money to blow, while they try to win back the loan against their 401k. I personally don't and haven't ever dealt with a Pawn Shop, but they wouldn't be around if there wasn't a demand for their service and people weren't willing to take such a hefty risk. You might as well call all of the people that are buying up gold "Con Men" because they may only pay out 75% of the market value of Gold, so you might as well call anyone that makes a profit off of supply and demand a "Con Man" because in order to run a successful business, you have to make transactions that are profitable for you while providing an item or service to another individual, or entity. Otherwise you are a charity, and just giving stuff away. Anyhow, I know this has been a long rant, though the show is entertaining to quite a few people, or it wouldn't still be around, and it is actually educational, because every time I watch it, I feel like I am learning more of what I wouldn't do if given the choice. Anyhow, that is how I see it. I enjoy the show and if you hate it and think they are bastards, then don't watch it, problem solved.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

I stopped watching the show after I learned that what expected, they're all con-artists. His stupid fat slob of a son wouldn't even have a job if it wasn't for his conartist father Chummly just goes with the flow and is an innocent victim of this conartist family and probably paid pennies to follow the con-artists lead ....

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Well, maybe. I knew from the show Rick is formidably intelligent, and this just confirms it. And of course the buyers had to know the bags were not the real thing. Rick profited off the status-striving of customers who wanted to look like they could afford a Gucci bag, or guys who wanted to impress their girlfriends, something like that; but Rick was not a con man. Gucci didn’t lose money because these people never would have bought a real one anyway. As for the slur about this reality show and some of the silly, mean-spirited comments here: People come into the pawn shop, Rick doesn’t waylay them in an alley. They come in to turn unwanted items into cash to splurge with (I never heard anybody say they wanted it to pay for a grandmother’s life-saving surgery), and 75% of the time, the customer isn’t satisfied with Rick’s final offer and is free to walk out again. The show is a delight, though Chumlee could use acting lessons, and I didn’t care for the script in a rerun I caught the other day, where Corey was disparaging his little female cousin.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

So let me see. If Rick sells fake Gucci bags and commits a felony, it's ok because the people wouldn't have bought a real Giucci bag anyway ?? Man you're one warped sick individual and must have been educated in a barn. You're as sick as Rick Da Dick and his merry band of thieves at the "Pawn Shop". They rip people off and take advantage of people daily. I just home they eventually end up where they all belong, in a jail cell ...

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

YOU are the dumb ass- How the hell is that ripping people off? You can't pay full retail for items! It's a BUSNESS!!! They have to make a profit too. That is NOT ripping people off.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

It's a person't own decision what they want to do with their belongings. If you do not like the show then stop talking about it. It is staged ect. but who cares, obviously it is popular enough to have more than one season. All pawn shops rip people off.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

There are a lot of absolutely, undeniably, INSANELY STUPID reality shows on tv these days that actually suck brain cells out of your head. Pawn Stars is entertaining, with some unusual things you don't see every day. So is it corny? Staged? Who gives a rats arse? It's enjoyable to watch.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

For Rick! Matt Dillon of "GUNSMOKE" was a "U.S. Marshall" not a "sheriff"

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

To Rick! Matt Dillon of GUNSMOKE was a "U.S. Marshal" not s "sheriff"

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

I used to watch the show because the items were interesting. But now some of the items coming in are staged and played by actors. Wish they stopped showing the fake, unfunny little skits at the end of the show. Get rid of the old man, he's worthless and only has a presence because of script writers(and many takes). Poor script writers at that. But it works for the naive and uneducated. Get rid of the that fat tub-a-goo(not Chumlee). The brain-dead, bloated, saggy quadrupole-chinned son. The only time he has any knowledge of anything is when it's scripted in. Like gramps, both are useless. Chumlee is supposed to be the comic relief. But it's so blatantly staged and not funny. Just another "Reality" show that is setup, over produced and edited from many takes. Your average sitcom is more true to life than any reality show.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

I think they ALL need to lose weight. and lots of it. they will not live long the way they are neglecting there health. so all the money in the world won't do them any good. UK

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Businesses need to buy at wholesale and sell at a slight discount to the retail price. They have cover employee pay, utilities , and the cost of being ripped off. People know what they are getting - FAST cash. If they want full retail, they can sell it themselves, and wait.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

People on here are idiots!! Conman seriously!! It's a pawn business that's how they are run. All pawn shops are the same they do the same thing. People who say he is a command have no idea how to run a business or about over head!! Get a clue!! It takes money to make money anyone who walks in can walk out and take their stuff with them. If they don't like the offer leave and go try to sell it yourself. Clueless people on this site

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Pawn stars is great, I'm from London UK and think Chumlee is as funny as hell. He may come across as a dumb arse but i reckon he knows he is funny acting the idiot and capatilises on it. After reading a few comments on here I think it is fair to say that if people want or allow themselves to be ripped off then its no ones fault except theirs. Pawn shops are in it to make money pure and simple and good luck to the guys. Cant wait for the new episode to start..

it script

GO TO A PAWN SHOP IN YOUR CITY .THIS SHOW IS FAKE.I LIKE WATCHING IT.THE PAWN SHOPS I WENT TO DONT HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN WITH HIGH DOLLAR ITEMS AS THIS SHOW DOES.MY UNDERSTANING THIS SHOP IN A SEEDY AREA AND HAVE ALL THIS CASH ON HAND.MAKE ME LAUGH .IF THE FAMILY HAS THAT KIND OF MONEY WHY THEY HAVE TO WORK .. COME ON IT JUST A SHOW...

Re: it script

your an idiot they let tourists into the shop fag and yes they do have expensive items on hand

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Okay, shut the hell up. I looove this show. It's me and my boyfriend's favorite and don't you think the appraisers stop them from making scam offers? It's true. Pawning is a BUSINESS people. Rick needs to make a profit and he takes a lot of chances by buying shitty gas pumps, etc. He has people put thousands worth of work into these items and never knows ahead what the bill is gonna be. On another note. I LOVE Rick's laugh. lmao.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Yes!!!! Best laugh EVER!!! ( :

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

I enjoy the show. I do think that some of what we see on the show is a little exaggerated, but that's for the drama of it. Seriously. I think they all play a role -- the sellers and the buyers. It's TV and it's entertainment. Take it for what it is. Who really cares if some guy gets $60K for $100K item and you/we think its ridiculous. Guess what people......they have $60K more than you/we might have. What I find worse are those 2am and 3 am infomercials about buying and selling real estate. Those are your con artists!

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

You guys forget that this is las Vegas. He is giving the cash upfront so most of them can go party! To them it's a good deal so why are you standing up for people that don't want or need you to?

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Selling fake gucci bags does make someone a con-man, that is ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with selling fake bags, people buy them knowing they are fake because that is all they can afford. He never hid the fact that he was selling fake bags and offered them at a very discounted price, which is why he sold so many and made so much money. This is very very far from being a con man, not even in the same ballpark. Maybe you should do a little research before writing a dumbass article.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Oh, puhleeeze. I have been watching that show since it began. It is so easy to see by watching that show that Rick is a con man and he really isn't that good of one if I can see it. He is the most obvious con man I have ever seen. He refuses to pay someone what something is worth. He would rather go without it than pay for it.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

IS NOT, ALL PAWN SHOP,S. CAN MAN. ; ] ALL I SEE AND WENT TO OR. THEY HAVE A COLD. OF NUMBERS THAT THEY. PAY FOR IT. AND WHIT YOU PAY FOR IT. YOU NOW IT. YOU SEE HOW MUCH THEY MARK IT UP. THEY PAD $20.00 AND SALLY IT FOR $75.79 OR SO. THAT MAY NOT BE THE SAME. BUT YOU GET IT. ( R,A.H. )

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

i went to pawns shops in my area this dont happen in real life.the show is script... it a show .has good rateings.if they have that kind of money to buy all the costly items people bring in they dont need to work...go to a pawn shop in your area .the staff dont act like they do.all i see is people bringing in is tools cameras lawn mwers tv etc.. nothing like they get on the show..... it kinda like the antique road show pawn shop..

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

Ummm duh.... Its not like the pawn star people ever said "hey this is what all pawn shops are like" This pawn shop made a lot of money and are now able to get big ticket items. I bet the fact they have the show now also helps because people think "hey I have some really cool items I want to sell how about I go to the pawn stars shop and sell them." This is a real pawn shop it just has earned more fame and now is able to obtain more worth wild items to sell. If you go to the shop you will be able to buy almost any item in the store (for the right price) like any pawn shop or you can sell and pawn items you own. Just because its on a show doesn't make it a fake shop it just makes it more popular

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

where in the hell did you get" the old man" he must have been a homeless goofy fucker on the strip. What a dumb goofy shit. As ole jed clampitt would say"pitifull"

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

I assume you haven't seen his mansion? Goofy, maybe. Certainly not homeless.

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

I think you guys are all missing the point and are being harsh. Pawn shops offer a 'certain' service for a 'certain' clientele. You forget this is a business and EVERYTHING is negotiable. Rick doesn't "MAKE" people sell their stuff cheap, but if he is going to resell their stuff, he needs to make money. It can't be sold in a day, and there is always much risk. Some of that risk deals with the unknown element and just because someone comes in to sell it doesn't mean someone will come in to buy it. It may sit around in the business for months and sometime years before the right buyer comes in. Very simple... time equals money... risk equals money. The clientele needs money quickly... They are ALWAYS welcome to say NO, they are ALWAYS welcome to ask for more... there is a reason they take his offer and it is largely because they do no believe they are going to get any more money from anyone else. On pawns, Rick is cheaper and safer than a loanshark. If you don't pay the loan, he puts your stuff up for sale instead of breaking your kneecaps. KLP

Re: Pawn Stars Vegas Reality Star is a Real Con Man

its funny reading all these comments, none of you own a business it seems. The day end goal of any business is to make capital, bottom line. If you think your going into a pawn shop and walking out with more than you paid in most cases, your an idiot. Great show, great people, all i see is a bunch of losers with no money saying how bad the show is. Get a life losers. bunch of trolls.
