Pawn Stars is a very informative reality show because you will learn a lot, not only about
American history but also to the world history. This TV show airs on Channel 11
every Saturday at 9:15pm. The World Famous Gold & Silver pawnshop
is located in Las Vegas, Nevada and it is owned by the Harrison family headed
by Old Man, Rick and Big Hoss with the help of the funny guy named Chumlee.
Many
people are going to the pawnshop to sell their antique items such as gun,
sword, appliances, clothes, and different memorabilia’s. Every item has an
equivalent value of money from hundred up to thousand dollars. But there is
also a time that the item has no value because it is just a fake or a
reproduction.
If you’re
watching this show, you will admire the trading skills of the stars. You will
learn how to deal with people in terms of pricing an antique, according to its
historical value or base on the demand of the market. If they are not sure
about the details of the item, they will ask the help of the expert. From there,
they will know how much they could offer to the customer. Most of their customers
are expecting to get a high amount of money after they heard the suggested
price of the expert. But of course, it would become lessen when the stars begin
to offer their own price. They are explaining that they need to earn from that
item. They are not a collector, they emphasize that they are sellers. They
could half the price or they will add a small amount of money if they are
really interested to get the item.
The
pawnshop has a limitation in setting a price. So, it’s up to the costumer if
they will grab or refuse the offer. Some of them would accept the offer because
they don’t really need that item anymore or they really need the cash. But you
would also laugh because some of them will only use the money to play it in the
casino. Maybe this is just a natural because they are in Las Vegas, which known
as the gambling capital of America.
Aside
from being an informative show, Pawnstar is also very entertaining. The stars
are always teasing each other. You will laugh to Chamley because of being
clumsy. In some episodes he broke some antique collections. There was also a
time that they got an album of Bob Dylan and Rick ordered to Chamley to sign it
up to Bob. Chamley found the singer, but he asked him to sign the album with
his name. So, who’s the crazy collector who could buy the album of Bob Dylan
with Chumlee’s name?
