PhilCastro Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've really been into Storage Wars lately I never knew about storage auctions before and if I ever get some money together it would be something I would like to try out some day I love American Pickers and Pawn Stars as well.

Count me in the weird, then. I'd love to do that for a living! I'm an unapologetic flea market/yard sale/thrift shop maven. I know a good deal about collectibles and antiques - been learning about them for years (it runs in the family). I learn even more by watching these shows. I sell on ebay so I'm always on the lookout for stuff I can sell. Or stuff for my collection. I voted for Cash In The Attic, which we get on BBC America. The hunt and then the auction is a great format. My husband pitched the idea to the PBS station he works for of doing this here in Seattle but they ignored him, of course. Now somebody else is doing it. I'm watching Pawn Stars right now.... Edited November 26, 2011 by HowItIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 American Pickers is one of my favorite shows. They have the coolest job ever. At first I thought it was going to be lame but after watching it I loved it. Pawn Stars is pretty good too. The worse has to be Hardcore Pawn.

Xanadoood Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Pawn stars!...love it. American pickers is cool as well...Storage Wars rocks. I love em all! Hardcore pawn is just ridiculous.

He always seemed to me to be the very epitome of the smarmy British chat show host. Or Dudley Moore playing one. Also think that the Hardcore Pawn family is totally obnoxious. Don't watch anymore.

liddybuck01 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 i don't watch any of these because most of them, like most reality tv, is fake. you can tell the people who come in are set ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they friggin' do is yell at each other and the customers the whole damn show. I like how Pawn Stars tells the story behind the items. All Hardcore Pawn shows is idiot losers bringing in old lawn mowers and out of date computers and then they bitch when they get offered 5 bucks.

Laaaaame While i've never frequented a pawn shop before in my life, I would guess that the way things go in Hardcore Pawn seems more real to how I think the day to day activities of a pawn shop would go, minus all the shouting of course Pawn Stars is my favorite though. There's always some cool items being brought in and the price haggling is always fun to watch. Especially when some dumbass won't take like 3,000 bucks for something.

Agreed The first couple seasons of Pawn Stars were really entertaining....and parts of it still is, namely the items people bring in and learning about them and their worth, but the show has become way too scripted and set up....they're playing up the Chum Lee stupidity thing and Old Man and basically making characters out of these guys...so it's really not reality TV at all...they're just playing the roles people want to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're taking Grandpappy's rifle from the war between the states, bring it into the Pawn Stars shop (you can email em and see if they take interest in your heirloom by the way) and you get a thousandand some dollars for it. And your grandpappy left it to YOUR daddy cuz he thought it'd get passed down. History buff here, love the show, but wonder at people sometimes.

Cowtothesky Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Getting a bit of overload from shows like this, but Pawn Stars is my favorite. Used to like American Pickers, but that chubby guy gets on my nerves now. The only thing annoying about Pawn Stars is how they obviously look up the items first and the main bald guy or his son will start spouting off this american history like they knew it off the top of their head. They probably know some things (lol), but it has been painfully obvious that they are trying to enhance this image that they are super smart about Eleanor Roosevelt's second husband's horse or whatever.

I don't think they are bullshitting. Being in the business as long as they have, they've acquired a lot of historical knowledge I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
