            That 70's "Indian" dirtbike made me laugh out loud. Enfield bought the name for a few years too, I could make a million off those guys.

                  That's the thing about Pawn Stars. They need to offer below FMV because of overhead and that they may not make its estimated value. They also take chances on things that don't pan out. That's how business works.

                  I don't understand why the loons get so angry when they don't get what they think the item is worth. Take it somewhere else or list it on Ebay.

                    Obviously not the same ring this guy had, but this is interesting:

                      People think they have something worth millions and take out on the guy that tells them they got taken

                        I'm thinking though ......

                        Pawn Stars is an interesting show and gives you a little peek at how a pawn shop really operates, but Pawn Stars also disqualifies itself because they get paid for being on the show ... and ... the popularity of the show makes THEIR pawn shop unrealistic.

                        It's the same with American Pickers.

                        If you have your own show you can afford to make some bad deals IF you think it will get you good ratings.

                        That's the problem with reality shows ... There really is no reality shows.

                          You hit the nail on the head...especially with Pawn Stars.

                          They used to average 70 people per day...but thanks to being on TV...they now get 1000 everyday...lol.
