If you’re an avid shopper or collector of rare items, chances are you’ve come across something interesting at a pawn shop near you. It’s a good place to sell old jewelry, collectible coins or even electronics that you no longer use. While some people might think pawn shops are seedy, many of them offer better prices than you would find at an auction or a retail store.

In the case of the show Pawn Stars, the EZPAWN is owned by three generations of Harrison men, including grandfather Richard “Old Man” Harrison, son Rick Harrison and his brother Corey. They’ve dealt with everything from rare gold coins to a hot air balloon and more. The show is very entertaining to watch and often features the team ripping off sellers who either don’t know what their items are worth or over-expect the price that will be paid for them.

Another big complaint is the fact that a lot of the time, the pawn shop workers are not real experts when it comes to appraising relics and antiques. They’re more jacks of all trades, which makes the appraisals that they give a bit broad and iffy.

Overall, Pawn Stars is an entertaining and informative show that is a must-watch for history buffs and collectors. I think it’s a shame that they can’t hire actual appraisers for the show as that could make it more credible. Nevertheless, the three guys work well together and Chumlee isn’t nearly as stupid as he seems.
