I like it though I don't watch it every week. The Old Man and Chum are the best.

I like it. They put enough emphasis on the history of the items that the people don't bore me as much as they would otherwise. And the fact that they always get some really eclectic stuff due to their location helps.

It is a great show with a little bit of everything. I just don't like Marks forced fake laugh when wheeling and dealing.

I like the stuff they bring in and whatnot, but honestly the people that run the place get on my nerves. I understand WHY they do the stuff they do, but they treat some of their customers like crap.
I still get it recorded on the DVR, but I prefer Auction Hunters myself.

I know it's an original picaso but there just isn't a huge market, I can go as high as 200$ and that's it I gotta make a profit.
I feel like half the shows go that way.

I'm starting to enjoy all the spin-off shows that use the same title method of just using "pawn" as a substitute word for "porn." There's already Hardcore Pawn and Pawn Queens. I''m just waiting for Gay Pawn, Interspecies Pawn, and Midget Pawn.

One of my favorite shows on TV, maybe even my absolute favorite. It's crazy what some people have sitting around their houses.

I really enjoy the show. I just wish they would show what happens with some of the stuff they buy more. Do they actually make a profit or not?

I love this show. You see some neat stuff, and learn about the history. I take the "reality" of the show with a grain of salt, but I do know it's a real pawn shop in Vegas, but like any real Pawn Shop, 90% of their product is jewerly and electronics, stuff people get rid of when they lost their entire savings at the Blackjack table.
Hardcore Pawn is disgusting, yet strangely addictive to watch. It's sad seeing so many people hit rock bottom that they need to sell their personal items, some that are priceless to them, just so they can pay rent, bills, or to get that fix of their drug of choice.

I'm sure they do too..I would just like to see sometimes if the sword he paid 2,000 for he gets 4,000 for or something. Though I guess if people know he's doubling on them maybe it hurts in the future?
My favorite I have seen so far is the guy who went in with a show room car from I think the 50s and got 95,000 for it. He didn't want cash, he wanted gold!

I will say this: If I never see another reality/documentary show where a guy crosses his arm and tries to look tough for the title card, I will be peachy keen.

Smart too, because he said while the dollar is dropping in value, gold is increasing. He didn't strike me as the guy who really needed that $95k right away either.
