TYPHOON on Pawn Stars
 

My 9 year old daughter wants to go to Las Vegas and be on Pawn Stars. The problem is what to try to sell them. I figure we could bring Randy and see what we get but I don't know how much to ask and who could be the expert to judge the value and condition.

Ive been there 2x and have yet to see the "pawn stars". Typically there is a line to get in and its not that impressive once your there. Maybe you have to set it up prior

He could be a good backup Throttleman for me.

Ill give ya 10 bucks :D

Chumley
 

Bring the boat and let Chumley drive it; they have him test all of the dangerous weapons........ LOL

Watch the show all the time. My friend was at SEMA this year and stopped at the Pawn Stars Shop and said it looked nothing like the TV Series and said it was a dump.

Did anyone see the episode where Big Hoss bought an old Cris Craft about a 30'er with twins. The mechanic got it running and told them it would sell for mid $30K as I recall. It was a $hit box with alfa drives and had to be from the 80's. After that I have my doubts on there numbers. LOL

Chris Craft
 

It also overheated and toasted an engine.

I saw that episode the other day and for the first time it was a subject I knew about, and their numbers were way off. So I'm with you, now i'm skeptical about all their stuff.

what was it?

Chris, I think thats even a differant one with there body shop guy. He also has a show and did a fix it up boat. you are right, he tosted a motor on the show doing his sea trial. LOL

That was the last time I ever watched the show. It was just too fake. If they actually bought that boat they took a major bath on it.

Ive learning in life that most things are all theatrics

I saw the episode, the boat was a mid eighties 31' Chris craft Stinger with one motor down completely, and the other not running. They gave @ $16,000. LOL, they took it to a shop where for about $5,000. they rebuilt one engine , refreshed the other, completely buffed out the oxidation on the gelcoat, and redid the crappy interior. (wish that shop was close to my house!). Then some joker (expert) tells them and the viewers that the boat is worth $37,000. That's when I knew the show was Bull****

Yup al for show jusy for rating. Every show is similar. the towing shows, pawn shows, storage shows. Its all fixed for entertainment.

I watched the episode where they bought the "Silent Scope 2" video game console (full size arcade model). It is languishing on their ebay account for $1599 (they bought it from the guy for 600 or 700).

The most clever thing they did was sell the silver coins with the old man's engraved picture on them. They bought the 30 lb brick of silver from a customer and Rick had it made into coins that they are selling for double the silver's actual value ($65 is the price on ebay). So it is a souvenir that could actually go up in value.

Not sure you will ever see those guys in the shop if they are pulling down millions of dollars a year as "quasi- tv celebrities."
