This place looks like they carry high end stuff...not the normal garbage found in most stores and what better place than to set up in Vegas.
I have to imagine most of the people coming in there are pretty desperate and that's why he can get away with offering $.25 on the $1.00 for most things....he pays cash on the spot.
I do agree it is fun to watch ARS and watch tears come to someones eyes when they realize that a family heirloom that was given to them was worth 5 sometimes 6 figures. You can just tell that they need the money and it is a life changing sum for them."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

I will says the person pawning or selling is ripped off - just like someone trading in a car. A knowledgeable buyer can get a deal because it isn't an auction.
my brother likes it I watched it once and got boredComment

the guy says yeah man don't worry, as soon as the kid leaves the guy takes it and puts it in his trunk and starts bragging on how he will get $500 for it on ebay when he gets home... I called him a dick and never went back"Time to nut up or shut up"-Tallahassee

The mark up in any normal store is %50 - %100. So what I see is the guy buys at a price he can make a normal markup on.
The people who try to sell at market value are wasting there and his time. I think they even noted in the show they don't come to a agree ment on 2/3rds of the people who come in.
Ever try trading in a CD or DVD to a record store? they only give you about 1/3 of the price they want to sell it at. (why do we call them record stores there is no records in them)Comment

I love the show. its amazing the little odds and ends you can pick up watching the show.
I would love to see someone bring in a Mego and see what they offer them.
I love the grandfather in the show. I would say back in the day he would have been bad dude to cross.Last edited by mitchedwards; Sep 25, '09, 7:20 PM.
