Pawn star Review: February 14,2011

Well, Happy Valentines Day from Las Vegas, wedding capitol of the world, today is a busy day as thousands of couples will get married in Las Vegas today. They get married in churches, casinos, wedding chapels or in front of a judge and then most will visit the Strip afterwards.
In the Pawn stars first episode, the first guy brought in an old Pepsi Cola cooler. It was on wheels and the outside was metal and used in stores. The guy wanted $750. Corey offered $200 and then $350 and that was the selling price.
Question, why have we never seen any children in any scenes of the show? It's not illegal for kids to be in the shop and I have had my kids in the shop many times. Just wondering.
The next seller had the guys come out to his house to look at an old claw arcade game. It had an old looking crane and it cost 5 cents to play. The guy wanted $6000 and Corey offered $1000 and then $1500 and finally $1700 and that was the selling price.
The next guy brought in an electioneering device, made of cloth. It had pictures of President William Harrison on a cloth, who died in office after only 32 days. Rick offered that the Harrisons who own the shop may be related to President Harrison. Time for and expert. Dana was the expert and didn't know if it was real or not. Rick offered $50 and then $100 and that was the sale price. It turned out not to be William Harrison but a guy named Lafayette who was close to George Washington and the material was real. The material was worth around $300.
The next guy brought in some Cuban cigars from the 1940 that were in an unopened wooden box. The Old Man didn't think the cigars were any good. The guy wanted $600 and the Old Man wanted $50. No sale.
The next guy brought in a picture book and medallion from the 1936 Olympics that were held in Nazi Germany and but Jesse Owens showed them up. The guy wanted $100 each for the items.
Rick didn't want to buy it because the book was made by the Germans and had some Nazi propaganda in it.
In the second episode, the first guy brought in a 1941 M3 armored Scout Car. The engine was from the 1980s. The brought to a guy named David who is an expert in military vehicles. He is a new expert. He said the car was a piece car, not an original, with a value of $20,000. The guy wanted $19,000 and Rick offered $11,000 and there was no deal.
the next guy wanted to sell a Carlo Gambino check. Gambino was a mob boss in the 1920s. You may see some of his stuff in the Mob Museum that will open later in Las Vegas. Rick needed an expert, Drew. The check was from 1962. Drew said the check was real. the guy wanted $800 and Rick offered $400 and then $500 and that was sale price.
A lady brought in a 1988 Apple IIGS computer. I've seen them but never used one. they started it up and it worked and it played some games. The lady $300 and Rick offered $50 and then $75 and then $100 and that was the sale price.
The next guy brought in a 1880 from New Foundland, Canada $2 coin. The guy wanted $7000 and Rick offered $2500 and then $3000. The guy wanted $3500 and the final price was $3100.
The last guy had a 1937 Little Orphan Annie Decoder pin. Corey offered $25 and went up to $27.
Have a nice week and see you next week.
