From Wiki..... He also owns a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Maserati GranTurismo, Cadillac Escalade, Range Rover, and a 1964 Impala SS.

Something going for him? Yeah. Money. Lots of it.

Money will solve a lot of legal problems.

That’s an old pic of Chumly. He has slimmed way down.

“The whole show is clearly concocted.”

My brother and his youngest son stopped in there last year - Rick, his son, Chumlee, and the Old Man (who had passed away) hadn’t actually worked the counters for years. They talked to one of the security guards who said that, once they started getting famous, the place got packed as people just wanted to meet them. For some time now, the counter workers look for interesting items and notify the show when they have something they think will be worthy of air time. When they film, they close the store down and shoot the episode. All the drama between the characters is invented...

All that being said, I like the show as I like to learn about cool items...they should just lose the little drama crap and concentrate on more items...

I’ll vote for him as Nevada Governor. And I’m not a Nevada resident.

I took a couple of years off after I retired to search records of my ancestors. I worked part time at a large pawn shop just to bring in a bit of cash.

I would guess that 70% of their profit was from interest on pawned items or sales of items never redeemed. Of course we never had an expert to consult with.

The only part which is a bit realistic is bargaining for items we bought.

Absolutely right.
No one would want to open a business under that kind of regime, and that’s what they will use to justify the government becoming the sole owner of businesses. (Communism)

The thing is, what’s a felony gun charge behind the iron curtain of NYC, NJ, etc., is just what’s legally sold to millions of people in the free states.

It’s disgusting to think that a 15-round magazine for a Glock 19, or an AR-15 sold legally in Texas will get you thrown in jail on felony charges in a few states.

Agree. Great description. BurnMe has no clue about reality. Like most Democrats.

"Why would I want to open up a business if I'm not going to make any money?"

Patricia Schroeder would send him to re-education camp!

While running for president in 19xx she said that, "Businesses have got to learn that the purpose of a business is not to make money but to provide employment for the workers."

Almost a direct quote from one of the villains in Atlas Shrugged.

“I remember when he was arrested. Never heard any more.

The whole show is clearly concocted”

True story, five years ago I was contacted by a talent Booket from Pawn Stars to possibly appear on the show. She was trolling eBay for listed items that she felt could make the cut on the TV show. Deal was I had to drive to LV from So Cal. on my own dime and Hotel bill to POSSIBLY make it on the show. Of course even had I made the cut I knew Rick would be undercutting the price I wanted so ultimately I declined come out to LV. Eventually I sold the rare vinyl record LP for $1200. Not a bad $60 investment from 15 years earlier.
