Pawn Stars March 15, 2010

Well, it's Spring in Las Vegas, with a high temp. of 71 but a lot of snow in the mountains. So, we have winter and Spring at the same time.
Well, today's episodes were from August, 2009. I apologize in advance because I was not able to capture everything.
The first episode was when a guy brought in a blunderbuss. He got money and trade, which included an engagement ring out of the deal. If you were his future wife, would want an engagement ring from a pawn store? The gun worked after a couple dry runs. It turns out that it was the most expensive gun ever sold at the shop.
Another lady brought in the Rat Pack photos and got $400 for them. There are at least 2 Rat Pack imitation shows still in town that you can see on the cheap.
In the 2nd episode, a guy brought in an old jousting helmet. It turns out to be fake. The seller almost had a heart attack, even though the piece was still worth several thousand, but there were problems with the gun, including a bolt and the top of the helmet.
Another guy brings in a very fancy motorcycle to pawn so he can make payroll. He wanted $20,000 but got about $10,000. Don't now if he ever came back in to claim the cycle.
Another man brought in a 1884 Springfield Trapdoor. The man wanted $1600 and got $1500. They took the gun to the the range. The gun worked and looking back at all the episodes involving guns, I don't think a gun has ever failed on the range and no one ever got hurt.
The next guy brought in a Ms Pac Man game. The seller wanted $200 but got $175. It cost $350m to fix. We have seen this in the shop selling for $1000 and after a couple of months, the game disappeared, probably sold. I love that game and still love to play it whenever I can find it.
Oh well, another episode and now, time to BBQ in the next week.
