      @@Sluicey They still deal like this all the time. My dad's side of the family has lived in Vegas since the 80's and my dad has been to this shop on a couple occasions when they weren't filming. They only put the good stuff on TV; you have to email them to explain what you have, send pictures, and if they think it's worth having on the show they'll invite you in when they're filming but you have to pay your own way and everything. Otherwise, the place functions like a normal pawn shop in the off-season.

      @pointblank2890 2 года назад +9

      Honestly, I agree. It's certain that Pawn Stars cherry picks what they show on the show, but even from this pitch video alone, everyone feels very authentic to who they are, and the Gold and Silver pawnshop still feels like a "wow" place to be.
      They didn't even need to exaggerate too much to make the pawnshop shine--its already in Vegas and sees a ton of strange characters pass by that would make for interesting TV. Either way, its brilliant to see what History Channel did in steering the direction of the show.

    • @TurquoiseStar17

      Cool thing is. I work at a pawnshop in Detroit that was approached by HBO way back in mid 2000s probably a bit before this pawn stars pitch. They were very similar to Hardcore pawn back then and that's the way the show was gonna be, but the mother of the family didn't want them to do it since she thought it would make them look bad. And then rest is history when they went to vegas and they started their show and made millions.

      @@senatuspopulusqueromanus5626 I'm exaggerating a little. This kind of raw show where they show a real pawn shop probably wouldn't work as a TV show but as a documentary it would have been quite interesting. Something like the Canadian documentary Broke which is about a pawn broker would have been good.
