Went to their pawn shop last summer. Met Seth, had a nice conversation, and he signed my shirt. While I was waiting for my wife to finish her purchase, we asked if Les was there. The very friendly salesperson said yes and she would ask him to come out from the back. Les couldn't have been more gracious and even posed for pictures with us.
@jessica. What you believe is irrelevant. Facts don’t care about what you believe. The fact of the matter is the customers were actors. It’s very easy to fact check this with a simple. google search.
They should do a comeback season the show was entertaining especially when they argued with the customers. And that was like with every customer........................
As someone who's not a big fan of Ashley I have to say that I'm happy for her.....that show was killing her....everyone deserves to do what they want in life
*Visitors are often surprised to learn that the store still operates as a full-service pawn shop and that members of the Gold family are still heavily involved in the daily operations in the store despite their busy filming and appearance schedules.*
The difference was hardcore pawn ran a real pawnshop in a city, looked like every pawnshop I ever knew. I grew up in a consignment shop. Pawnstars was some kind of specialty product Las Vegas thing, that I knew a bit about, but as far as a pawnshop, nah, hardcore pawn was the real deal.
Their reactions are all unscripted but *some* of the people that stumble in there are definitely actors. People getting fired,family arguing etc was all legit.
So let me get this straight the head of security get arrested and fired then he opens up his own security firm? Gotta say mind is a little blown on that one.
How can one communicate to someone important enough to get this show back on tv. And more often than just on Sunday for a couple of hours. Only show I look forward to watching on Sundays. Want to see more of them.💕🔯
I believe that most of the major interactions were set up to make the show interesting. Some of the minor interactions are not set up but all of the ridiculous crazy people are sent in to act like fools but I think most of the generic customer interactions are genuine. Every crisis that the Gold family had on the show is totally scripted. That security guard who got fired for stealing while on the job he somehow magically shows back up on the job in a later season.
You would be surprised. A lot of those crazy people were more than likely real. I know someone that owned and ran a restaurant in that area and the story he telling me about their customers
I notice about Ashley like in Season 1, she was great but till the higher season, she became more stress and unhealthy after dealing work, family, and customers. I'm glad that now, she's doing well and she has her own job and looking more healthy again. Also, I wonder where's Rich now like is there any video of him of where's he now and what he's doing now in life after he was fired over a disagreement with Les.
@@ryulee1996 ,Ashley must NOT have direct contact with people, she is immature incurable and if she were to manage the shop she would close in less than a month. Google translate.
I remember reading somwhere that he stole gold because Les fucked him over not paying him what he was promised for being on the show. Which doesn't excuse stealing but Les is a greedy bastard.
Yep, and it's constantly flashing pictures of the 3 main characters while speaking about the others, which is a bit confusing to newbies... good show though
I loved the show!! Obviously alot of those times where ppl freaked out or did really crazy stuff like hide in fridge etc, was staged or something like that. Regardless it made for a great show. Plus the security guys got lots of camera time! Lol
@Sour Milk My "unpopular opinion" is shared by millions. Surely you've noticed the show was cancelled and has been off the air since April, 2015. It's now April, 2020, you know.

That's awesome. I love hearing stories of people meeting celebrities big or small and having good interactions.
What abt Ashley?
@@av1ana_ ummmm....did you watch the video???
@@brianbenoit6883 what do you mean?this is based on brasp32 experience not the video
@@av1ana_ Ashley doesn’t work there anymore she has her online jewelry shop instead (:
Hardores Pawn needs to come back asap that was one of my favorite shows!!
Les gold was the Paul Teutul sr. of the pawn business.
I miss the days when this was playing nf
i agree
audie xoxo They loved to hate her.
I love it
I don't care if this show was scripted or not, it was so addictive!
I think parts may have been scripted (drama between staff for example), but I fully believe the customers that came in were exactly what they were
@jessica. What you believe is irrelevant. Facts don’t care about what you believe. The fact of the matter is the customers were actors. It’s very easy to fact check this with a simple. google search.
I wish Hardcore Pawn was on Netflix I will watch it everyday.
Kevin Walker is it free I don’t have to pay .
Kevin Walker thank you so much my dad loves This show to I’ll show him this weekend .

They should do a comeback season the show was entertaining especially when they argued with the customers.
That was the whole show brainiac 🤣
They should do a comeback season the show was entertaining especially when they argued with the customers.
And that was like with every customer........................
It’s the Dick, No not trump this time Production company. That was a truly great show plus is had shots of Detroit very cool
All them arguments with the customers, were a set up, with paid actors.
As someone who's not a big fan of Ashley I have to say that I'm happy for her.....that show was killing her....everyone deserves to do what they want in life
NNNNO! NNNNO!!! SHE DOESNT! SHE NEEDS TO BE SHAMED FOR HER BEHAVIOR AND RUB HER BODY WITH HOT SAUCE!!

@@Noname-lk2ol what the hell lol
OMG lol
@@MaryJoan24 this is what drugs do to people
Glad Ashley is spending Gold time with her kids, she was the water to Seth's oil , never mixes
I watch the re-runs all the time, I wish it was still on the air. I hope Les and son are doing well.
Reruns are on our daily non cable channel in Tulsa
But not daughter
I really enjoyed the show 😊 if possible please bring back on regular TV, so everyone can enjoy!
Nem könnyű egész nap résen lenni ilyen emberek között.
Elismerésem!❤
We used to watch this show as it was always entertaining and some of the prices customers were looking for were unbelievable
Why was there just a flash of law and order svu and when they talked about his wife they kept showing his daughter lolol
I was thinking the same exact thing!
Really
They also did that when they spoke about Rich.
There wasn’t many clips of Lily (his wife) on the show
🎉@@bettyruiz5841
I always wondered if Seth would be as tough as he looks without the security guards helping him.? 🤔😆
Same here 😭
@@f.t.mspideyNO!
Customer: I’m looking to get $500 for my watch….it's all solid gold and diamonds.
Les: I’ll give you 10 bucks 😂😂😂😂
Ya that’s how pawnshops work ,bud
😆
Customer : ok I’ll settle for 450
Les: Ok 8 bucks !!
Nasty People...
Final offer
Great show! I love that the Gold family don't take BS from patrons.
It is so sad that employees stole from the family 😞😢 they don't deserve that treatment, they have compassion and have helped many
Miz Macleod, only Les, Seth couldn't care less about anybody but himself. Ashley left because of Seth.
The employees stole because it was written in the script
*Visitors are often surprised to learn that the store still operates as a full-service pawn shop and that members of the Gold family are still heavily involved in the daily operations in the store despite their busy filming and appearance schedules.*
The acting on the show was so weak but the show also had me weak ahahahha
The thing with reality shows is they make some of it to make it more interesting but the things that happen are things they will sometimes run into
Come back Hardcore Pawn,we miss the dramas
Ashley have come back. for that be a possibility.
The show suck
@@jeffreybrozek6217 ashely wont be back she isnt working there anymore
Love watching this show
I just started watching on the Quest channel. Great show. I missed out on it in the past because I stopped paying for tv programming in 2012.
That show is from 2012 anyway
I wish it would be back on because I loved the show, I would watch it ever time it came on.

They lost me when he said its unscripted. Such a joke

Blazed Bob the customers are clearly acting and suck at it
@@bsharp1981 Not all of them were actors actually.
I mean it is Detroit... hehe
DreamDemon Entertainment so they all just happened to be mic’d up
Id like to see this show return. Dealing with crazy customers in Detroit is dangerous.
If you're a racist, like this greasy family, sure.
Yes the most dangerous town..besides chicago in america.

I still find it hard to believe joe was thieving. I was wondering what ever happened to Rich Pyle. Thanks for the vid.
Definitely staged
Watch the video
Me gusta mucho ese programa yo lo vi doblado al español castellano., greetings from Guadalajara México.
I remember watching this show back in the day.
The store .. It's still running ..sure will visit if I ever visits .. nice !!!
I saw plenty of waist mic packs on people being escorted out of store!!!!!!!!! Great 👍 show !!!
Every customer gets issued one before entering the store just in case they get caught up in some Of The drama
@@garethhancock8525 No. The show is reenactments of purported sales just like pawn stars.
So let me get this straight the head of security get arrested and fired then he opens up his own security firm? Gotta say mind is a little blown on that one.
No, he got fired for theft. Then he opened up his own security firm.
I guess that's how they roll in Detroit.
@@jdavis37378 Try again. The show's producers paid for the cast's appearances, not Les.
@@LesterMoore BINGO !

We have a quest channel here in Minnesota where I am watching Hard Core Pawn re-runs right now. October 21,2021. Love this show.
One of my favs. Wish they were still filming
Their hiring
Hi I am from England love watching your show
The boss feels like a mix of snoop dog and dr phil
Fr
lol
Dr gero from dbz
That daughter has the biggest head I have ever seen. Literally
Incest , her and Seth were lovers too !
It’s her double chin ... her weight is really high.. plus she’s fairly short ....
On certain angles, Ashley actually looks pretty.
Shaped like a potato
😂😂😂

Childhood? Wtf? You must be like, 13😂
This show needs to make a comeback. They were the people I loved to hate
1:17 i really like the blurry picture
Wish they never got cancelled. I loved the show.
I grew up watching Hardcore Pawn, I loved it.
and Seth wore the same shirt every episode.
Chichlik they bought multiple of the same shirt
He also wore the same shitty attitude in every episode.
Probably shirts out the back people porn'd
Time is tough this days, gotta deal with this.

It’s still on the TV, they changed the name to “Swamp Thing,” and the Gold family are the slime in the swamp.

Just look at the people that live in detoilet, it’s the culture

My dad and I would smoke weed and watch Hardcore pawn every time it was on. I never saw him laugh so much at anything else.
SM hope you get saved you need Jesus. Your dad poor poor role model
One needs weed to watch this crap.
Hell yea us to some dumbass people go in there you know
Comparing this to pawn stars is like comparing sesame Street to nightmare on elm Street.
👍
Sounds sensible security Joe steals then starts his own security branch lmfao
I remember reading somwhere that he stole gold because Les fucked him over not paying him what he was promised for being on the show. Which doesn't excuse stealing but Les is a greedy bastard.
Gotta start some how lol
They should have kept Rich he was great for the show.
Christopher Simpson, Les and Seth didn't like it that Rich was more popular, with viewers, than they were.
Yea really for sure After he got Leslie pregnant
The itchba Ashley through a tantrum because Rich knew what he was doing and would not kiss her butt. I like Rich.
He was alot of my reason for watching it lol
Era meu reality favorito quando morava na Itália....bem que podia passar aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷...big less...👏👏👌
If they brought this show back it would be a hit all over again! You can take that to the bank!
For idiots.
Im form spain i love this show, on tv they repeat all 2 seasons so many times
Are they till open in 2022?! I'd love to get their autographs!! I'm a big fan of theirs 🥰
They are still open the show is not .
The show is just a stunt.
the pawn shop is still run be les and seth to this day
@@jcc4543 it wasent staged
Great show-Lots of fans in Australia 🇦🇺

For some reason idk why me and my dad would laugh so hard at this show Hahahahaha I miss them days
Im in England so i only came across the Golds recently i must sat its been a fun ride thank you Les Seth Ashley and of course Lilly
That show is the Jerry Springer of pawn shows
I hear the British woman "Goodbye ladeeyy!!" LMADO!
I'd love to see a clip comp of all the clips shown in this!
Great piece!!🤘🍻🍻
Hay that lady was English.not British
I miss this show. And the 2 people I liked were Rich and Ashley
You liked Ashley??
I just found out about hardcore pawn. Please come back. Y’all are great !!!
This has nothing to do about where they are now.
Yep, and it's constantly flashing pictures of the 3 main characters while speaking about the others, which is a bit confusing to newbies... good show though
The son, daughter and father always reminded me of the McMahon's (WWE) for some reason! lolol
Wrestling is less scripted than this show.
Na alot of it is real. Definitely some actors here and there but all drama with people getting fired etc was all legit.
Blazed Bob nope. They got fired just for show...
Mr Pickles correct
Pawn Stars is more scripted!
@@TheRmm1976 lol no
He said wife but show les daughter?
D Ros the one beside les
yea and when he did talk about Ashley, he showed Byron like tf 😂😂
It's his wife / daughter
They’re from Alabama so that explains
Bruh Les looks like Dr Gero from dragon ball z lol
Anime is for weebs
This show and south beach towing used to be my favorite shows!! 😂❤

Anyone remember the Rolex when he gave him rubber bands I died
30,000 watch bands
That's a perfect example of KARMA folks!
Wouldn't it be justice for Seth that he gets the Pawn Shop and he has two kids that work for him and they act just like him and his sister. Hurah!
Sad.
I loved that show!!
Every one got ahead from being on the show. Even the staff that stoled.. (Gold is expensive) a ring is about $500 average

What about Bobby J???
He got a lucrative job as a lawn gnome in LA
A very close friend of mine was a producer on the show and said it was 100% scripted !
Les say is 100 real who lying?
So what…. It was entertaining, tell your friend to bring the show back.
Ashley widely popular? Lmao nobody liked her. Most people I know despised her.
I sure did
She seemed like kind of a stuck up C*** at times
I liked her
The whole damn family is one of the most unlikable on tv. Ashley is at the top of the list her brother is right behind her to.
We absolutely love this show so entertaining 💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Did anyone else keep hearing someone screaming in the background throughout this?
It’s the mother they locked her up
Love this show Got addicted to watching it
