I’m not talking about “these shows”, I’m talking about this one show. The people coming in are obviously real, because, anyone who goes to Vegas can see the real place, with the real people lining up to get in and try to get on TV. This isn’t exactly a well kept secret.

The people coming in are obviously real.

Well, they've included Ron Dale, the brother of Rick Dale of Rick's Restorations. The show never disclosed that 'Ron" was Rick's brother.

RIck Harrison bought a beat-up Vendo 39 Coke machine from Ron Dale, then sent it to Rick Dale for restoration.

And restore it Rick Dale did.

Restored it so well it came back at the end of the show as a Cavalier 79.

Or when Jim Waters, Las Vegas Actor, sold the 18th Century flintlock.

And don't get me started on any of the hinky transactions involving appraisals by Cowtown Guitars' co-owner Jesse Amoroso. It's easy to appraise a guitar when the person who brings it into the pawn shop is one of your employees, such as luthier Rod Miller. Especially when the guitar's listed on your Cowtown Guitars website. And an expert luthier like Miller 'thinks' his '72 Les Paul Custom is a '60.

I think some transactions are real, but clearly not all of them.
