pickers and pawn stars

American Pickers and Pawn Stars are going to Sturgis. Priemiers November 5th. 9:00 pm eastern on History Channel.

I would much rather watch the grass grow than watch them two fools on pickers.:gaah: They make fun of people:banghead: by braging how they bought an item cheap and :banghead:how much money they are going to make on it.:shocked:
Again, this is only my opinion:yes::yes::yes:

 

[Arr MiHardies]

The pawn stars guys are complete ass holes. I know from experience. I used to work for them.

 

[Bob Denman]

But still... digging around in Sturgis??? :shocked:
There's got to be something cool to be found in that area! :thumbup:
Even though I agree with Arr...

Me and my buddy from Pass time at Sturgis this year.

Not a fan of the "pickers". Like to watch pawn stars because I am interested in stories and information about antiques and stuff. The show is starting to degrade towards "cornball" trumped up incidents and interaction between the players though. Watched a few episodes of Counting Cars also--but that one is pretty "cornball" from the get go. I like those old cars he fixes--but oh the stuff you have to endure with the rest of the program.

We were planning on checking the pawn store out during our trip to Vegas in December--but I am guessing the "bosses" and players wont be anywhere to be found.

unless things have changed, they actually do run the store during normal hours. Though I understand the line to get in now in massive thanks to their tv show.

I thought the hornets were bedded down for the winter. Guess I stired them up.

 

[Bob Denman]

Well if you want to stir up the hornets; all you needed to do was bring up helmet usage... or tire pressure... or favorite oil brand... or which bike is best... or what tires to use... or... :roflblack::roflblack: :thumbup:

 

[ARtraveler]

Don't forget about octane usage in the :ani29:'s.

Re: Pawn shop in Vegas: I wont stand in any line to get in regardless.

We went to the Pawn Shop last year when we were in Vegas. It is not what it looks like on the show, small and not any of the stars were seen by us. It was sort of crowded inside and outside, but I wouldn't go back.

It isn't much to look at at all and neither are any of the other buildings around it. Never went in but drove past it when we were in town for meetings. We stayed at the Southpoint Casino.

 

[Arr MiHardies]

I don't think I've ever met a more crooked pair of guys. Only thing positive I have to say is they do know their history.

 

[Bob Denman]

Well that sure was putting it nicely... :shocked:
With the business that they're in; what else could you possibly expect? :dontknow:

As you say it is your opinion and you are right to express it. However, I watch it regularly and really never have seen this display of making fun of people you refer to. In addition, They are in business to make money but again not the amount of bragging you allude to. I have seen them actually give more money than a seller is asking when the seller does under price an item and also give some rather expensive items to museums and collectors. Showing how much they can potentially make on an item is not bragging simply the American way and good tv. This opinion, to me, sounds like something our present administration would say. They have the stores and the employees and bills to pay, why are they not entitled to make a profit?
Just giving my opinion on the issue which I'm sure you will agree I have a right to express too.

 

[Bob Denman]

Admitedly; it's not a show that I watch; but if we're gonna start a debate, can it be about something a bit more substantive? :shocked:
Like speeding tickets, or gun ownership, or oil brand... or... :roflblack:

 

[Clicker1944]

Yes!!!! Not worth arguing over TV shows....agreed!

 

[Bob Denman]

Do you wanna tackle helmet usage again? That one is always worth about three pages, and a couple of sets of bruised feelings! :roflblack: :joke:

 

[Clicker1944]

Naw...let's go with guns. That's always get's the blood flowing too!:roflblack: (no pun intended):joke:
