![]() ![]() The interaction between the characters is highly entertaining, and somewhat informative as well. Personally I think you paint a picture here that these guys are crooks, when in reality, this is business as usual. Also how could they tell the buyer what they intend to resell the item for when they really never KNOW what they're going to get. And I also don't agree with your assessment of "the poor seller at their mercy due to lack of knowledge." Knowledge is something that can be acquired, and sellers should obviously have acquired some concerning their items value before entering the arena of buying and selling. Every single person is most interested in what they can get for their item. Your post suggests that the SELLERS of the items are not interested in the money, which is clearly not the case.

Steve, I'd like to know in your opinion, what exactly the value of "culture" is, as you state in your post. The scripted B plots provide no shortage of entertainment, thanks primarily to the people they center on. If you are a collector, then you should be doing your own homework on channels to sell through, and there are plenty of them. Anyone that stupid to sell so cheaply deserves to get hammered in my opinion. As to Steve's comments on collectibles I don't think they are making 10x what an item is worth. As Rick says over and over, I can't stay in business paying retail. It is funny when the expert says an item is worth 3000 retail and then the customer expects 3000. When they are unsure of an items value, they bring in experts in their field, and they do it while the customer is there. Although there are similarities to antique roadshow, these guys are offering INSTANT CASH in most cases. No different than any other wholesale to retail business. : Do your homework on current market values! I don't think in the case of Pawn stars that these guys necessarily make an offer based on what YOU think you should get for it, but rather, what they think or know they can get for the item. ![]() The most important point was, as with ANY business situation.
