The first episode was first seen on February 15, 2010. http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2010/02/pawn-stars-review-feb-15-2010.html
In the 2nd episode, the first guy brought in a 1915-1920 train set. This looks a very old Lionel set but from a different company. Lionel eventually bought the company. The guy wanted $850 and Rick offered $750 and settled for $850.
The next guy brought in a 1862 postage stamp and a coin combined. They brought in Dana, the expert. Dana has a web site and it says his office is out of Rancho Santa Fe, CA. That's just north of San Diego, so that means he has a very long commute to come and see items in the store. http://www.earlyamerican.com/Auctions/ClientPages/home.php
The stamp/coin was very rare. Dana says the coin could go for $4-6000. The seller wanted $4500 and the counter offer was $2000 and it sold for $2300.
The next guy brought in a 1980 Datsun 280ZX. It sounds kind of rough, like a missing cylinder. The guy wanted $28,000 but Rick wanted to give $4000 firm. So, it sold pending a mechanic looking over the car. The house mechanic decided it was not worth it so because of so many problems, so there was no sale.
The next guy brought in a James Bond screen play with the final draft script of the movie "Goldfinger". The guy wanted $1000 but settled for $500.
The final lady brought in a 1800's tricycle. It seemed to be in good shape but not all the parts were original. Rick believed it was a reproduction and it was a no-sale. The lady disagreed thinking Rick was wrong. In this case, I would have sided with the lady.
Another week done and another week closer to the season of reruns. If you want to come to Vegas and visit the store you better do it quick because if you come in the summer, it will be very hot in the store and waiting outside the shop. Trust me, it sucks to be standing in line when it's 110 degrees outside.
