Shady Secrets The Pawn Stars Cast Doesn’t Want Their Customers Knowing

9. Most Sales Are Staged

As previously mentioned, although they do a lot of filming for the show, there’s not a constant camera crew filming all day every day. If a seller comes in with a really interesting product during a time that there’s no filming taking place, producers will actually have that person come back during a filming period. When they come back, they’re sometimes asked to even reenact the entire sale, including the bartering, and anything they did the first time around when they sold whatever they brought into the store. The whole point of the show is watching random people walk into the store to try to sell a piece of history. Although there are some fake parts to a reality show, this definitely takes away the authenticity of the show, and makes things a lot less realistic, which can be a bit disappointing to fans.

8. The Store Is More Of A Tourist Attraction

As previously stated, the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop has become more of a tourist attraction than a pawn shop these days, and they can thank the show for that. So much people come from all over the world just to see the famous store that it takes away from the business. Which is probably why they started selling their own merchandise for the show (it’s a good idea, we can’t really blame them, to be honest). People are so caught up in taking pictures and they’re treating it just like some tourist attraction instead of a working store. It’s not detrimental, or anything, just a bit of a hinderance. There’s still profit being made everyday. In fact, the shop sees about 4,000 to 5,000 visitors on a daily basis. We think they’ll be okay!
