FIRST OF ALL THIS SHOW CAN SHOW YOUR CHILDREN WHAT BISNESS THEY SHOULD GET INTO. ALL THIS TAKES IS BACKING AND LOTS OF IT. IN THIS DAY AND AGE YOU SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PART WITH FOR A BUCK. THE UNFORTUNATE THING ABOUT THIS SHOW IS THAT THEY NEVER SHOW PEOPLE GOING IN TO BUY ITEMS. I THINK THAT WOULD GIVE THE SHOW MORE DIMENSION. THEN YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY ARE IN THE BIS. PAY LOW AND SELL HIGH IS THE NAME OF THE GAME IN NOT JUST THIS PAWN SHOP BUT ALL PAWN SHOPS. IF YOU EVER PAWN DIAMONDS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THEM APPRAISED BEFORE PAWNING THEM. I HAVE HEARD OF PAWN SHOPS TAKING OUT REAL GOOD DIAMONDS AND PUTTING IN EITHER CRAPPY ONES OR FAKES. SO BE AWARE OF YOUR DIAMONDS.

I love the show because I love "picking" and antiques. I find it educational especially when they talk about buying coins and how to determine which ones may be counterfit. All that "stuff" interests me, i.e. the history of the items, what items were used for such as the real small cannons used to announce a ship was coming in, the old clock made of mercury and the process it took to make the clock and how the men making the clocks would die young from the mercury. I am going to take a trip to Vegas soon and visit the shop. Will be fun to meet the family. I may even take a few of my items and sell them. I think they are fair and honest people. Who knows, there may be something in the shop that I just can't live without. I'd love to work there if I lived in Vegas because I'd always be learning something new.
