Did no one see Pawn Stars this past Monday with the 1922 Peace High Relief

Outhaul

So, at the hammer price he netted just shy of $5k over his cost. That's a huge gamble for less than $5k.

I've read reviews of the store (on Yelp) that say the Pawn Stars are only at the store when they tape, and when they do tape the store is closed to the public, so maybe some of the other customers in the background are actors.

I’ve been there before and the doors are closed and bouncers are at the doors so no one comes in to do business. The line forms outside and when they are done taping they let the mass of people in and everyone buys the over-priced trinkets for sale. It’s a circus. I was fortunate, there were about 200 people in line, I walked up and said hello to the bouncer and opened the door and walked right in. They were just finishing up taping. I took some pictures and someone yelled no pictures. The only one left was Chumley. Got to meet him, have photos and autographs and then I purchased a few things and left. Then I went over to Fish Tank and they were just starting to tape and met everyone, had pictures and they all signed a cap I purchased. It was a fun morning.

Thanks for sharing. Having been an extra on the TV show Hawaii Five-0 I always find it of interest to hear the behind the scenes experiences of others as well.

It is always a matter of luck as to whether you get to interact with the main actors. In my case I got slotted into a scene that led to a person to person encounter with the two main Task Force members McGarrett and Dano that included an off the screen conversation between takes. Suffice it to say both were most gracious to those of us in lessor roles.

I would have offered the coin on the BST site and

Saved the vig.

DVP only.

Would it still be there?

All about the PR and he probably got 105% of hammer or better. He did okay. (edited to add, this is just speculation on my part of course).

I must admit I stopped watching this and the picker show

When them pickers showed up around here Frankie arrived in a limo and the Wolfe guy rolled up in a Winnebago with his family. The actual show has them freestyling up on the place in their van. Lies are no longer considered lies around here. Now it's just entertainment...….or politics. lol

Thank you for sharing as well.....very cool story. One of my favorite shows.

Several years ago I bought an interesting antique at an auction just because I was hoping to sell it on Pawn Stars. Thought it might be fun to see Chumlee try to set it off. I emailed the show a picture and got back a polite email basically saying "we'll be in touch". Never heard anything more though. That would have been a lot of fun. I would have sold it for $1 just for the chance to be on the show. I stopped watching some years ago when it became clear how staged it was.
