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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In 2014, Corey “Big Hoss” Harrison went through a dramatic transformation. He had lap-band surgery intended to treat obesity by slowing down the consumption of food thus reducing the amount of food consumed. In the end, the surgery paid off.

However, that’s not really true. The cast members, in fact, do know these experts but are not actually close friends with them. In reality, during the planning phase of an episode, when the cast has an extremely rare item ready for them to identify, the producers search and hire expert appraisers. Also, some of the experts that are called in to identify the items will do the job for free just to be on Pawn Stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Richard Benjamin Harrison Jr., who is also called “The Old Man” or “The Appraiser” in the TV show, was the man that started the whole business. He was the patriarch of the Harrison Family and started the Gold & Silver in 1989. Though he always appeared on the show since the first episode onward, many devoted fans knew something was up. People started speculating that the Old Man couldn’t appear on the show and it seemed that the fans were right. Richard passed away in 2018 after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
8. Friendly Experts<\/h3>\n\n\n\nSource: history.com\n<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhenever there is a scene where the cast cannot find the answer for an item and need to call an expert for advice, the actors claim that the experts they call are their close personal friends that they trust to appraise the item according to their expertise. However, that’s not really true. The cast members, in fact, do know these experts but are not actually close friends with them. In reality, during the planning phase of an episode, when the cast has an extremely rare item ready for them to identify, the producers search and hire expert appraisers. Also, some of the experts that are called in to identify the items will do the job for free just to be on Pawn Stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In 2016, police came and raided his home in response to serious assault allegations. Also, during the police raid, the police found his hidden stash of illegal weapons and drugs. Later that year, Chumlee pled guilty to the multiple felony charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Before Rick married her in 2013, Deanna had problems with her previous husband. Her ex-husband, who coincidentally has the same name Richard, was arrested for assaulting a student in a high school where he was working as a janitor. Richard tried to avoid jail time for years while his trial kept going on. However, as of 2018, he was caught by the police and is now in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Although Chumlee is one of the show’s fans’ favorite, the producers initially wanted to focus only on the Harrison family and leave Chumlee to work in the background as a silent employee. In the end, the producers decided that they needed a fourth cast member into the show that could show humor. As one of Corey’s best friends and actual employee for the Gold & Silver for five years, the producers finally chose Chumlee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Some of the weirdest items that were shown onscreen are human skulls in a bag, a one-person submarine, and even old Japanese erotica.
