Pawn Stars: 2/22/2010

Today's episodes are reruns from last September 27, 2009. http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2009/09/pawn-stars-blog.html It was also my first blog on Star Wars, before the pawn shop was famous. Next week brings new episodes of the show.
The lady who brought in the $20 bill, got $800 and they way she bargained, she should have gotten a job at the pawn shop.
Chumlee put down $3000 on a motorcycle that was sold to the shop and he got himself a Harley on a payment plan. Hopefully, he still has the Harley, but who knows. My guess, since he gets paid from the show, he probably has paid it and then some.
In the 2nd episode, a guy brings in a map from 1735 and Rick is right- there are very few basements in Las Vegas. It's a shame because basements are cooler and they would be great in basement. And the expert comes in to look at the map and the expert is Dana. The map came from the London Magazine. The guy selling didn't really look interested in the history, just wanted how much it was worth. The map sold for $550.
The next guy brings in a 2006 Yamaha dirt bike and it was hardly used. The guy wanted $2000 and the original offer was $1000 but sold for $1500.
Next up was a bad art work that was bought by Chumlee. He bought it for $300 but was worth about $1. So he was tested and he eventually passed. But no more art work buying for the Chumster. Chumlee was given a lesson in art buying. In the background, it like the Indian mini motorcycle was in the background. Could be wrong, though. Makes me wonder when they were taping because it looked bright outside but no one was in the shop.
The next guy wanted to sell a 1976 Piper Warrior airplane out at the North Las Vegas airport. This was a project plane that didn't go well.. The guy wants $6500 and it really looked ugly inside and out. along with the engine and the guy got the plane for $6500. Mojave Aviation did the work and Rick paid a total $21,500 and expects to sell it for about $25,000 and the test flight went well, they didn't crash. That's pretty good, since there were about 3-4 crashes at the North Las Vegas airport last year, including 2 fatal accidents.
Next week, new stuff.
