Yep. He did it to this one guy and he stopped for a second and a look on his face that said" F it, I got higher then I expected I would".
You mean pawned items? because the majority of transactions shown on the show are sales. two different things. Pawns that I can remember are: Dino teeth, a bicycle, guitar and Clinton's condom.

i just thought they wanted to be on TV.
I don't like it when folks try to re-negotiate an agreement.

Thanks for posting, I forgot to catch that episode too.
I hope some rich die hard fan saw that pays his offer.

Anyone going to a pawn shop expecting to get even 50% of the value of an item are idiots.

Love the show and loved the offer. The guy should just ebay it.
Was also surprised the collector was black. Most toy collectors are nerdy white dudes.

Oh, I see... yeah I meant come back to reclaim their pawn. I assumed that since it was a pawn shop that's how it was going down

I think Evilface should be wearing something to cover his mask... maybe a sheet. Also gif.
Well the Pawn Stars show isnt about the pawn side of the business really, its mainly about the historic stuff they get. And most of the time people sell rather then pawn it.

i watched this show for the first time the other night and i couldn't believe that lady with the flag that started at $23,000 and dropped to $4,000 right away.

Yea, it's Antique Roadshow for general stuff.

You Are A Tooooooy!!!
That’s pretty much the only reason I watch. I just love to see all the cool stuff people bring in. I don’t really care much about the employees.
I don't find the younger, extremely fat guys to be entertaining in any way.

riddle me this...what's the difference between "selling" and "pawning"?
Pawning is having them give you a loan and in exchange they hold an item of yours usually worth more than the value of the loan. If you don't pay it back, they keep your item.

Chumlee is kinda funny but the other one seems like an ass most of the time.
While I like this show it take #2 behind American Pickers on History.

Your comment is not funny at all.
I guess you cant help it since your from Texas. Glad to see how some people think.Exactly. Great historical items that people would probably never get to see because it was in some garage or attic. like the George Washington signed lotto ticket.
Chum and Cory? Chum is an idiot so he doesnt bother me but Cory is annoying. he acts like he's the best thing in the world.

That was an awesome vid man! I don't think any of us would ever see a transformers collection like that EVER if it wasn't for your vid, so thank you! Everyone always gets huffy when they offer such a low price for something worth so much, I understand why they do it but sometimes eBay or a private auction is just a better and more profitable way to go. Sometimes the pawn guys get it for cheaper cuz someone is desperate for cash and they hit a home run. But in this case the guy knew what he had! Too cool either way.

I love Antique Roadshow... its amazing what some of the stuff they bring in is worth and the stories behind how the items got there.
Don't see as much of that here, there's a bit and I think they try to play up that angle. But really its about the Pawn shop making calculated buys and maximizing their turn around.
I noticed when I moved here to Oklahoma that pawn shops were a lot more common, there's at least 5 in my town. Whereas the town I grew up in (about the same size) had one
I was pretty excited to check them out, but quickly learned the deals weren't good and most of the stuff was crap
