No form of facepalm is good enough for this one.

'Well the thing is, these are just in that much demand anymore, but I've always wanted to have one. Tell you what I'll do, I'll give ya $10.00'

I loved the episode where Les' son complained about the Detroit casinos being a drag on t community while his store was doing a good deed by only charging 400% interest on loans.

digitalpirate		2012-05-10 11:43:54 AM

I had a feeling this took place in Detroit.

Citrate1007		2012-05-10 11:44:43 AM

"We have tour buses and people from all over the world coming here. They love the show and we're a great pawn shop," said owner Les Gold.

LIES! No one goes to Detroit on vacation.

They do if they're from Flint.

I think I know what happened.

"I'll check to see if it's counterfeit..."
"No, I will."

"Shut up, I'll do it."
"No, YOU shut up."

Forget the 'Florida' tag, we need a 'Michigan' tag.

Typical Hardcore Pawn episode breakdown

- Moment involving family drama
- Rare/unusual item that Les always "wants to buy", but the owner always asks too much, and they don't buy it
- Black person tries to pawn what they think is expensive jewelry and is told its fake and security kicks them out
- Someone comes in with sob story and takes a reduced offer on their item to get some cash
- The resolution/continuation of family drama from beginning of the episode which will spill into the next one.

/why yes, I do watch the show why do you ask?

They now have the Mad Max Experience where you are given souped up Ford Fairmont and you have to make your own way out of the city.

Yep. Pawn shops are largely part of the cash economy, so if you're only looking to launder a few thousand, selling your fake 20's in bulk at 20% face value is a lot easier than buying a bazillion packs of gum. They probably didn't buy only because the cameras were rolling.

People will do anything to get on television, it's amazing what doors open for you the second you walk around with a film or video camera.

Marshall Willenholly		2012-05-10 12:01:41 PM

Wait, some guy needed some quick cash, so he decided to pawn his MACHINE THAT MAKES CASH! I don't get it?

Then what? Pass the bills themselves? It's way too risky. They would have busted them anyway.

You forgot:
Black person comes in with crappy item.
"I want 50 bucks for this crappy item"
'No, your item is crappy. I don't want it. I wouldn't take it for free'
"Oh Hells naw, you goin' BUY my shiat or I ain't leaving 'till you give me 50 dollars."
'I don't think you understand how this works. I don't want it, therefor I am not buying it'
"Nope. You goin' buy this, and you goin' buy this now!"
*security* Time to leave
"This is bullshiat, ya'll. Just give me 50 dollars!"
*black person is escorted out. Leaves item on counter and walks away*

Icetech3		2012-05-10 12:04:48 PM

Makes me proud to be from detroit:( And i don't know why people watch that show, i suppose if you didn't grow up with the natives it might be kind of funny...

Not all the negros are total Chud

StreetlightInTheGhetto		2012-05-10 12:16:22 PM

My friend cashed a paycheck at a Detroit party store, and found out later they gave him all counterfeit twenties. So he just spent it all at the party store.

/one way to keep your money local, I guess
//he didn't know how he was gonna react if they refused the money they gave him, but they were smarter than that apparently

Mr.Tangent		2012-05-10 12:17:14 PM

I was hoping this was the other pawn show. Would make for some hillarious TV.

Rick: "Let me call my guy who specializes in counterfitting equipment"
*dials police*
Rick: "Yeah, ah I got this guy here who wants to sell me some counterfitting equipment, wanna come down and give me an estimate?"

let the hilarity ensue.

No all people looking to unload worthless shiat in Pawn Shops are like that. Race does not enter into it.

This is my buddy Frank from the FBI's counterfeit money division. He would like to take a look at your stuff and he'll tell us if it's real or not, as well as what it might be worth.

*Frank pulls out handcuffs*

It appears your items are genuine. Frank estimates its value at 5-10 years.

Woman is escorted from store screaming threats, yet still signs the release to be on the show.

I've been watching this show, and as fluff entertainment it's alright i guess, but i freaking can't stand the daughter anymore. Yeah, the brother's a real dick, but she is just annoying, and she enjoys making all the drama worse by screeching. So help me if my boyfriend's prediction comes true, he thinks she is going to leave the show and start her own pawn shop and have her own show. Who would watch that? I wouldn't watch that.

A lot of sweaty nerds who wish they could get with her? I'm sure they all think the same thing of the new chick the pawn stars guys hired.
