It's on the History Channel Sunday nights 9-10 pm (one is usually a new episode and the other is a repeat).
It's basically a show about a famous pawn shop in Las Vegas where individuals bring in all kinds of unique items (the shop owner usually knows at least something about most everything but will bring in expert friends of his for items that are worth a lot of money).
It is a bit like Antiques Roadshow but much more interesting and educational.
This pawn shop will buy anything of value if the price is right and they know they can make money on it. I saw them purchase a cannon from the late 1800's that was still functional (they paid $30,000) for it and they have purchased all kinds of interesting stuff.
It is also really interesting to see the negotiation take place between the owner and the person selling the item. He must do millions of dollars of business each year based on the items just on the show and it is quite amazing that people constantly bring in items that look like they belong in a museum.
