2. Evaluations Are Inflated For Drama
When it comes to reality shows, it’s all about the drama, and Pawn Stars is no exception. Many times, people come to the store bringing in items with no price, and it’s hard to come up with one. They even have their own price for the item, and those don’t always fly with Rick. That’s when they turn to Rick’s “friends” or the experts come in to give an evaluation on the item. They tend to go for the higher evaluation simply because it brings the shock factor. They want you to look at an item and go, “Wow! I never knew that could be worth that!” We have to remember that it’s a reality show and they’re trying for the best ratings.
1. The Guys Don’t Actually Work
Many people walk into Gold and Silver Pawn shop expecting to see the Old Man, Rick, Corey, and Chumlee working behind the counter. However, if you’re looking to walk in and get an autograph or a selfie, you might be a little bit disappointed. The stars of Pawn Stars don’t really work behind the counter at all anymore. Due to their extreme fame, they aren’t really able to. In fact, with all the money they’ve made over the years, there’s no reason for them to actually work. The only time you can actually catch the guys in the store is when they’re filming. The show leads you to believe that they’re always hanging around in the store and you can just walk in and chit chat with them. But fans will be a little let down when they visit. You can still check out the store, though and buy some merchandise.
