The letter above was sent to an boy with autism who wanted to pawn a Game Boy.
From the LVRJ: The cast of “Pawn Stars” has given one young boy a lasting memory after being made an offer they couldn’t refuse.
Reddit user MrsLeslie posted on Wednesday a photo of a note Rick Harrison of “Pawn Stars” had written in response to a fan with autism who had written to him.
The boy, referred to as Little J, is a huge fan of “Pawn Stars,” set at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, according to MrsLeslie.
MrsLeslie said that, according to LittleJ’s mom, LittleJ wrote to the show’s cast and offered to sell them his GameBoy for $30.
“I added a cover letter describing J and his autism — and although I told them that I didn’t expect them to actually buy his GameBoy, I did ask if they could at least reply,” his mom is quoted as saying.
Harrison responded, but went one step further, enclosing $30 to pay for the GameBoy.
“I’m donating the GameBoy back to you for being such a loyal viewer, so keep enjoying it and think of us when you play with it,” Harrison wrote.

In the first episode, the story line was Chumlee and Corey went to Henderson to get hamburgers. They started by taking the Old Man's truck without permission. While getting the burgers, they saw a 1962 Corvette and they decided to chase he car but instead the truck broke down.
The place they went to, Hometown Classic American restaurant, which, if you know Henderson/Las Vegas, is across the street from St. Rose Hospital on boulder Highway and near Lake Mead. The road they travelled doesn't look like a road they would go on to Boulder City, about a 15 mile trip. They actually could have walked to the Clark County Museum, where Mark works. They went walking in the desert and ended up by the PRO Gun Club. http://progunclub.com/ But that store is in Boulder City, and it is in the opposite direction of where they are supposed to go.
They shot some machine guns and were really bad shots. And the guys from Danny's shop came down and they also took some shots.
And no one brought back the Old Man his hamburgers. In the end, Chumlee had to take the Old Man on his errands.
(BTW, the hamburger place they went to kind of sucks, at least the one time we went there) S, this story line is full of crap... like most story lines are.
The first guy brought in a medieval mace.
The good wanted $3800 and time for an expert, Craig.
Craig said the mace came from the 1500's and was used as a weapon. He said it was worth $2500and the customer disagreed. The customer wanted $3500and Rick offered $1800 and then $2000. He then went to $2100 and that was the sale price.
The next guy brought in a 1893 English made pocket watch. Rick offered $100 and then $120 because there were many old watches out there and Rick was firm on the price. There was no sale.
The next guy brought in a cap gun collection. They looked like guns used in the wild west of the United States. The guy wanted $250 and time for an expert, Johnny. The holsters didn't go with the guns and the holsters were worth more money. He said the collection was about $135 and Rick offered $60. The guy went down to $85 and Rick offered $65 and that was the sale price.
In the 2nd episode, the story line was Chumlee playing on the computer while looking at his stocks he has purchased. He wanted to use to the profits to buy a Lamborghini. Chumlee went to his financial advisor and he found out he has to work a lot to buy the car. It also turns out to be a day trader in the stock market and he lost most, if not all of his money. Corey did buy Chumlee a toy Lamborghini.
The first guy brought in a Charlie Chaplin's driver' license. http://www.charliechaplin.com/
The guy wanted $8000 for the license. Rick offered $3000 and then $3400 and there was no sale.
In the background of one of the shots, they showed the biggest Ferris wheel in the world, the Linq:
Rick then sent Chumlee to do something with a picture frame and the seller had a Picasso for sale. The name of the piece was Goat Skull on Table.
Chumlee called Rick to see if he wanted to buy the painting. They wanted $16,000 and Rick/Chumlee offered $11,000 and that was the selling price.
The next guy brought in a 1940 Sports Sedan. It was supposed to be owned by Fidel Castro from Cuba.
The guy wanted $35,000 and time for an expert. Steve was an expert and he said the car was modified quite a bit- engine and transmission and the brakes sucked. He said the car was worth about $14,000 and the owner strongly disagreed. Corey offered $15,000 and there was no sale.
That ends another 2 now episodes of Pawn Stars. Thanks for stopping by and I think there are 2 new episodes next week.
