There are times where you flip through the channels or go through the internet and see videos of Pawn Stars. Sometimes you tell yourself, “Oh, this seems interesting” then go on to “how much are they gonna take it for?”. Well, you have to admit that the show is pretty addicting. Everyone will get sucked into the amazing and funny world of the Harrison Family. Fans of the show just cannot get enough of Rick, Big Hoss, The Old Man, and Chumlee, and the hilarious bond between everyone doing their jobs right in front of the camera for a reality TV show.
It may seem odd, but not everything we observe that happens in the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop is actually the way it is in reality. Another odd thing is, whatever drama is going on behind the scenes should be its own reality spinoff.
Here we will cover the top 15 juic Pawn Stars facts that every TV lover must know about!
1. Hate Surprises
You might think that the Pawn Stars love to be surprised for what item is next on the agenda. No. These guys do not like to be surprised. During the production of each episode, they know every item that’s going to pass by them. It is mostly the producers that are heavily involved in choosing the right items for each episode. Even all of the spontaneous moments are calculated.
2. Memorabilia
Even though the Pawn Stars cast does make money from being on television, the Gold & Silver remains a functioning pawn shop and has been since 1989 by the patriarch Harrison Clan. The stars mostly get their profits from their show-related memorabilia. Because of more than 4,000 visitors a day, they usually make at least an easy $8,000 per day. However, do not expect to show up in the pawn shop and be able to meet up with the cast members. When the cameras are off, sometimes the members will stay in the shop and do meet-and-greets, but most of the time the cast will go home and let the other employees handle the shop.
3. Stolen Diamonds
Although the Pawn Stars are generous with their offers, some clients will actually try to sell items that are not theirs. For example, in one of the episodes, Rick bought a pair of diamond earrings for $40,000. Although it turned out that the earings were authentic and real diamonds, the person selling them did not actually own them. The diamonds were actually stolen and sold on TV through the Pawn Stars. The bad news was the thief burnt through all of the cash before the police were able to maintain the situation. This caused Rick to return the jewelry without any compensation.
4. It’s Broken
The Pawn Stars always had trouble, especially with people trying to sell to the cast some stolen goods. However, in some cases, stolen goods might be considered a small case compared to when the cast lost money due to their own actions. Once, Chumlee leaned against a stand-up bass that they had just bought. However, the bass was fragile and could not stand straight. This action caused the bass to topple over and break on the floor. Like one of Chumlee’s shenanigans, he tried to hide the destroyed item by shoving the broken parts back inside the case. Of course, moments later his friends found out. The broken bass cost the cast $20,000.
