Some of you people that complain about this need to get a life. This is not a retail shop. I don't even have a clue what is going on in some of these sellers minds. The expert says something is worth a grand, the seller immediately wants to get a grand and you're commenting on low bowling it.
IT'S A PAWN SHOP! This is how these businesses keep their doors opened. They are designed for people that need money quick and badly and/or don't have the means to actually retail the product and wait to get full money on it. The moment you step in a store like this you know what you're getting yourself into. That's why you need to be at least 18. You complain about price tagging these things way over the actual value? Again, it's not retail. It works both ways, not just for the seller. There's no negotiating in a retail store. But clients will want to get it cheaper cause it's a pawn shop. Of course if something is worth around $1000 they'll pay 600 on it and put it up for 1300. Those 300 are bargaining room. And if someone is stupid enough to just pay, then it's their fault. They have people to pay salaries too and do you know how much it costs to actually store something? There's no guarantee it will sell the next day. Some of you are even bitching they're bad actors.
Of course they are. They aren't actors. It;s just a pawn shop that the History Channel stumbled upon. Lucky a-holes? Yes! But you can't judge them cause they can't act. They are, or at least used to be just ordinary people. And of course Chum is no idiot. Did you actually think he was that stupid? Taking into consideration the items these people work with, he would have been fired in two weeks. The amount of general knowledge you have to have to work in a place like that is overbearing. Is it fake? Of course. Who would watch it if it wasn't? Do you know how boring that would be? It's a gold and silver pawn shop. 90% of business is made by people buying and selling gold and silver. Is the store just a tourist trap now? It is. It's normal and anyone with a lick of mind should have foresaw this. I don't understand why you people are bitching cause you had some fantasy expectations. I mean think about. If they actually stayed in the shop all the time on how popular it is, they wouldn't have a moments rest from the fans. Would YOU live like that? They're after money; now more than ever. Jeez!
The only bad thing I have to say it's that they've overreached. This show shouldn't have had more than five seasons. It got old really fast, mostly cause of lack of items. This has forced producers in the last three or four season to actually stage sales. And this is bad cause it;s the heart of the show we're talking about. I didn't care for the rest fake stuff so long as the buying and selling part were real. Ant it was real. Not anymore. The producers just want to milk this cow cause the show is very popular.
In conclusion, you have to view this show for how it is. Interesting if you wanna know things about history and other subjects. And really this is what interests me.
