I just sold a $35,000 customized 1954 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop, to a guy who said it was worth $3000, for $500, after haggling him up from his $300 offer, so I'm getting a kick out of the meth I bought with the profits.

I don't watch the show often, as I can't stand that guy's laugh.

But, I did enjoy it when they switched things up a bit and documented people trying to purchase an item in the store - they apparently have some neat things we never get to see. Do they still do that?

cman: Isnt the term now "nuked the fridge"?

"Jumped the shark" is TV shows. "Nuked the fridge" is movie series.

It's an entertaining show. Clearly setup, but still fun.

Only ONCE have I seen someone pawn something on the show.

As much as I love this part of the show, I'm more of a fan of the Storage Wars random valuation method.

Hester: "That couch? $500.00."

Odd or perfect timing? Pawn Stars is on RIGHT NOW!!

That mashup retails for about $4,000. But people really only want Miranda Cosgrove, and I've got to make a profit, so I'll give you $300. If you throw in Jeanette McCurdy, we'll make it $500.

I'll bet'cha Freddie has to pawn the HD camera to get bail. Or Spencer has his soda bottle robot with him and pawns his 'art'..

/but so help me god, if Rick 'has a guy', i'm done.

Writing kid's shows is easy.

Yet most are terribly done. Sad really. iCarly is actually a pretty fine show at times. I don't get why more kid's shows can't bother to make even a basic attempt to be good. Probably because that fat guy who produced All That is too busy pimping out the child stars.

Did someone say iCarly? (She's legal)

Mad_Radhu: I don't know, but let me call a buddy of mine who's an expert in television shows jumping the shark.

LOL...hey that was funny. That happens in every show

I watched a couple episodes of Storage Wars; I agree it's ridiculous. I couldn't believe how dumb some of those people were. One auction this guy's wife bid so that nobody bid against her and they got a storage unit for cheap. Then the camera was interviewing one of the other guys who said something like "If I'd have known she was married to that guy I wouldn't have let her have it." You're running a business. You don't bid on a bunch of inventory you don't think is worth your time just because it might be worthwhile to someone else, purely out of spite. Then that same doofus was complaining about how he had overpaid and couldn't make a profit on some other unit. Well, perhaps you shouldn't buy inventory just so someone else can't have it. At the end of the episode he said something like "well, I got burned on this one. There's nothing you can do about that. It just happens." It'll happen less if you have some shred of business sense. Just foolishness.

Are you being funny or do you actually have such a friend? Because...

Umm...the Fat Guy who produced All That is the one that does iCarly, also, so I guess he is not pimping out all the stars

BTW, iCarly is a good show....much better than a lot of the prime time crap on the non-kid channels. And, Jennette McCurdy is just adorable (and legal)

Being funny. Elephant balls from Zambia will get you put in jail...

...to be honest, I'd say this was a JtS moment for iCarly more than Pawn Stars.

Hardcore Pawn is where it's at.

Is iCarly still on? My daughter loved the show for awhile but stopped watching as she got older. Seemed long enough ago I just assumed it was done by now.

UCFRoadWarrior: Umm...the Fat Guy who produced All That is the one that does iCarly, also, so I guess he is not pimping out all the stars

I'm aware of that. But there are no iCarly related rumors. Unlike every other show he's been involved in.

Let tell you, it's really fun eating a girl who can do that with her legs and yes, yes she is legal...

Solid Gold bars?? Well, there's really no market for those, but I'll give you $50 for 'em

Quite possibly the iCarly kids are well-adjusted and squared away....and of course, filthy rich

Heck its not just Dan Schneider shows....seems all the shows that ever had kid actors, some of the kids go wayward. Maybe not all Diffrent Strokes crazy...but someone always seems to crash

Really? Because the little bits I've caught as my sisters' kids watched were absolutely grating. It's like they wanted to write a cartoon, but needed a vehicle for Disney Simulated Child Droid #624.

In all fairness, the dude runs a pawn shop. What did you think he was going to offer? He's in the business of reselling things for a profit. If you're stupid, lazy, or desperate enough to bring your priceless antique to a pawn shop rather than an auction you're going to get pawn shop prices.

It's way better than the American Picker guys though. "This antique is worth $5000 but I'm going to tell the little old lady who owns it that it's worth $10. Aren't I great."

fusillade762: I see ads for a new one on The Travel Channel. It's like Storage Wars but instead of storage lockers they're bidding on unclaimed luggage.

I've only watched the show a couple of times and think those guys are a bunch of con artists who should be brought up on fraud charges. Blatantly ripping people off in some businesses will even get you tossed in jail. For example, an art appraiser who tells you your long lost Van Gogh was actually done buy one of his less talented students but will give you $500 for it, then turns around and auctions it for a cool million will get into a shiat-load of trouble.

They're pawnbrokers. That's like, half a step up from carnies...

No need to insult carnies! There sorta people.

That show jumped the shark long ago... Just about any show now is only good for a season or 2 before some one farks it up.

NO! A show written for little girls doesn't appeal to you. Go figure!

Neither does Winnie the Pooh, but at least that doesn't set my teeth on edge..

They are the same, they want to double their money. Even then there have been times where the person really lowballed the price and they offered more. Rick will usually offer 50-60% of the lowest estimated price. At least Rick doesn't have to ship something back to their office or pay for hotel bills. I would expect the AP guys have a higher overhead percentage wise than the a pawn shop. Now granted these are tv shows, who know what never sees the light of day.

The real iCarly, not her big nosed blonde friend
