On July 25th, shown on the History channel, Pawn Stars buying a 1950 Shopsmith. I like to see if they even know what one is.

I'm sure they have a "buddy" that's an expert. Chum lee will pretend to cut off his fingers. The old man will complain they paid too much.
Yeah, I like to see some of the stuff that comes in... but they're always deferring to other people, old man is always complaining, and Chum is a complete halfwit.

Yeah, but I sure am entertained and learn something most of the time.
The expert will say its worth $1500 in like new condition at action.
So I am sure the seller wanted $1500 and then they will say that's not going to happen an buy it for $200.
I just hate how Rick always laughs and says that ain't going to happen
Why anyone would would try to unload goods at a pawn shop is beyond me. You would have better luck on Ebay or even Craig's List.

A pawn shop is instant cash and you can either pawn it for a loan or sell it outright for a done deal. You may get more money on the direct sale or you can take a little of the worth or the max the pawn shop will give you on a loan. E-bay and craigslist may take you a long time when you need some cash to buy a new water heater or food for the kids.
You all have to remember it is a show on TV, so you can be sure that 90% of it is scripted and planned so that the guys can be handy for the expert consults and to make sure that nothing is illegal or the customers who don't want to be on the show are not involved. This is not a "Real" Reality show, because it would have to be all hidden cameras to get the real truth. If you watch the other one that takes place in Detroit, you know it is all scripted and planned out, because if there is that many morons that come in, it would be hard to stay in business or not punch someone in the head!
Fun and entertainment with a little truth and information tossed in for good measure!

You mean like the "Sherock Lefter" I saw in the tool section of Craigslist the other day. The seller meant Sheetrock Lifter but it turned out to be a drywall cart rather than a panel hoist. Don't even get me started about all the "radio arm saw" (aka radial arm saw) and "saw-saw" (aka Sawzall) ads.
