Pawn Stars Review: April 25-26, 2010

Well, tonight's episodes are reruns from last night. Apparently the History Channel is putting the new episodes on Sunday and repeat them on Monday. Found out the hard way last night. Funny thing, there was only 1 advertisement from Subway and no one ate a foot long . I guess last week was a one night stand. Somehow, in Las Vegas, that seems normal.
In the first episode, which is a repeat from last night, a young man brought in a Revolutionary War era bond from Massachusetts, from 1775. The bond was worth 5 pounds. They brought in the expert, Dana who determined it was real and he got $12,000 and a very good guitar. Did he get $12,000 in cash? The bond was printed by Paul Revere. Dana holds auctions for early American artifacts.
Just curious, what if the experts are wrong? Is the pawn shop responsible or the expert for the financial loss?
Then Rick and the Old Man went to a man's home to look at a 1965 Impala station wagon. the guy said it was a chick magnet. Umm, no. It turns out that he put in a bigger engine than the original and the air filter didn't fit. Not a good idea in Las Vegas, to run without an air filter- too much dust. So, it was a no sale. the guy then proceeded to do burn outs in the road, thereby pissing off the neighbors.
Then Cory and Rick went to a house for a 1946 Seeburg Jukebox. It looked ok from the outside, but the inside was in rough shape. They bought the jukebox for $400 and took it to Rick's for restoration. The restoration cost $3800 and the jukebox could sell for $6500. The sound quality was so-so.
The next guy brought in a replica 1909 fire engine which was made in 1981. It was more like a circus piece than a fire engine. It had an umbrella, horns and it is something you may find up in Baraboo, WI. at the Circus World Museum. There was no sale.
In the second episode, the first guy brought in a 1884 colt 45 revolver. Rick brought in an expert, another Rick, who said that it was an original, except for a small piece. They guy wanted $400 and then Rick offered $2000 and it was sold.
The next guy brought in a some presidential campaign buttons. They brought in Dana and within about 30 seconds showed that the pins were reproductibles and not original. The set came from the Kleenex Company. Hopefully Dana gets expense money for these visits, especially this visit.
Lately, the guys said the Old Man takes nap on the job. The Old Man says he is just resting his eyes. Chumlee says he also takes naps at work. Well, it turns out Chumlee supposedly takes his naps in the parking lot. Sleeping in downtown Las Vegas, on Las Vegas Blvd and close to the back alley is not the smartest thing to do. Can you say mugged or murdered?
The next guy brought in an espresso machine. The guy got $1400 for the machine and grinder. Chumlee made the Old Man some coffee and the Old Man Loved it. That's probably the first time the Old Man gave Chumlee a compliment.
The last guy brought in a antique spinning wheel. The man said his grandmother had it and it was gathering dust. Unfortunately, it turned out that the spinning wheel was for show so there was no sale.
Thus ends another night of Pawn Stars. Remember that Pawn Stars are now on Sundays with repeats on Monday.
