Anyone watch Pawn Stars on History??

[GTSLOW]

They had a bunch on in a row last night. First was a 60 something Shelby Cobra REAL car that the guy was paid to tow for free. It was the complete chassis (frame, body,etc.) even had the CSX. They bought it for 30k :wooo and dumped another 80k into it to finish it. What a dam find. Then some guy brought in a 1600's muskateer or whatever the hell those really old ship fighting guns were called.

Pretty dam good show.

yes i saw that.. i was like WTF with the cobra.. them guys have to be making some coin with the buisness and the show paying them...

[SSDude]

Watched a few, not to bad for something different. The Tomcat ejection seat was a crazy thing to show up at a pawn shop with.
The 2 pound Hotchkis cannon was the shit when they fired it off.

[0TransAm0]

i like how they always see if the guns fire AFTER they buy them... lol

[GTSLOW]

Did u see the question before commercials. About what that one guy lost the most money on??? It was like 45k for a pair of stolen earings or something like that?

[Flicktitty]

that shows pretty good, i watch it when i can.

only person on the show that is decent is the Dad (the bald guy) the rest are dumb.

[97z2801ss]

Pawn stars is awesome my dad started watching it two weeks ago and I seen it last night very interesting

The cobra body was not a real 60's shelby, just a real newer shelby.

[wikked]

Would a real '65 aluminum shell have zero rust? everything on that suspension looked like it was installed a few days ago, not 44yrs ago. Is it that hard to etch a CSX###### into a piece of metal?

I think the shop wanted their $80k to finish up an alleged real shelby.

The guy also said there was only 1 known geniune shell known in the world... yet they just happen to have another now! hah.



Watch it all the time though, check out the playboy episode with Peaches in it.... good god that chick is ridiculously hot.

[BOSS LX]

The real deal!:wooo

That is his 17 year old niece I think Christine was her name

Also, not hot!

[MoCkiN U]

Feel bad for the kid who brought in his grandfathers nautical clock gizmo. Said was scared to talk to his grandpa about it and wanted to sell it. Gizmo was estimated to be valued at $2K by the expert "if" it worked. What the grandpa could have told him was the shipping cork was in place and the clock wouldnt run with that so selling it for $750 when dude got repaired in 30 seconds when they pulled out the cork and voila...it worked. DUMBASS!!

I know. But if you look at their website it's being auctioned right now and it sits at $755.

[lasttimearound]

no shes not hot, thats the only picture i could find of a girl on that show, thats why i had the "??"

[MoCkiN U]

i admit I like the show but does the bartering they do ever feel fake to you guys? Also, I still kinda giggle at big boy getting that kite wrapped around the light pole. never said if they got it down or not

[GTSLOW]

:rolf that was funny as hell.

[srt4eh]

i dont think shes hot...but shes definately cute

Just so ya know. Yes a '65 aluminum shell would have NO rust if i left it in my driveway uncovered for the next 40 years. Aluminum doesn't rust.

Nice first post NEWBIE

[JaMichaels]

True, it wouldn't rust. But it does corrode, discolor, and pit. Soi don't think it'd look like that.

[URLOZIN]

Aweosme show! I watched it fo a few hours last night. That kite was hilarious!

[Prince Valiant]

Aluminum doesn't rust.
But it oxidizes...and when oxidation occurs to steel or iron, we colloquially refer to it as "rust."

AL just doesn't form the same red-brown color that we call rust, and is less prone to oxidation than iron and steel.

[TransAm12sec]

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the bartering is staged, but the show's still entertaining either way.

What happens when they pawn/buy something stolen?

[lilws6]

they loose the money on the stolen stuff is what i've heard i also like the show its fun to watch some of the stuff on there i have not seen the shelby one

[wikked]

What happens when they pawn/buy something stolen?

The cops seize the property and the shop is out whatever they paid for it.

[TransAm12sec]

Would the same thing happen if a regular citizen bought stolen property unknowingly?

[SSDude]

It can be confiscated

[BoosTT]

Cool show. A bit like antiques roadshow.

[wikked]

If they find you, yes :)

Pay with cash :shades

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

I watch it now and again and find it kind of cool and funny.
I cant believe they claimed that boat was worth 30 g's I mean I liked the boat but it was worth maybe half that.

[srt4eh]

I want to know who pawns their Volvo semi truck...

[PureSound15]

I like that show! I wasn't expecting the shalby to be real - I was counting on a FactoryFive or something.

[73MACH]

Have you noticed that when they ask how much the person wants for whatever they are sellng, they immideately cut the price in half! Always go high! Then work your way down still in your favor.

[wikked]

Yea, but they're not going to give you half, if you say $5,000 and it's only worth $1,000 :P

Some of those people cave way too early though, like that guy with the crotch rocket.
Then again, when you need money instantly, you don't really have a choice.
Great business to be in if you know a shit ton about that stuff :)

[MoCkiN U]

^ yeah 8K for a extremely modified busa??

[DirtyMax]

I was out in Vegas last week and my wife and I stopped at the store. The Old Man and Rick were there. Chumlee and Hoss were off. The store is a lot smaller in person than it looks on TV.
