Rick doesn't steal anything. Someone brings in an item, Rick offers them a price, and if they accept it and fill out the appropriate paperwork, it legally becomes his property. No theft whatsoever.
M. L. What he means he feeds off the weak if you come in with an expensive item and you don’t know your shit , their going to extort you in a legal manner because you didn’t do research on the item ,
The pawn shop I work at is charged $1.50 for every transaction as a "tax" so the cops can buy software to monitor each pawn or purchase we make. They have a dedicated officer who does nothing but work the pawn shop cases in the county. That's why it doesn't pay for us to do any transaction under $5.00 with that tax.
I was at my local Guitar Center last week and while there a cop came in. I ask what was going on and they told me that a piece of used gear came in and had been reported as stolen. When you sell something to Guitar Center (or anywhere in Indiana) you must have a valid ID and the item goes on "Police Hold" until it clears. So, some loser brings in a stolen piece of gear, has his ID photocopied knowing full well that the serial numbers are going to be ran against a database of stolen goods, and sure enough they drive right to to guys house and arrest him. How stupid do you have to be?
Marko Polo I have no idea. It had a serial number, that is all the guy said. Could have been anything. My point was that if you take shit that is hot to sell, either alter the serial number, use a fake ID, something! Otherwise you're a bloomin' idiot and you can expect the police to be at your door soon!
@@Ryan23H yea, except there are ways to sell stuff online without giving people your ID and other personal details. a pawn shop WILL NOT take anything from you without personal identification.
From my 17 yrs of Pawn Loss Prevention experience, less than 1% of all loans or purchases turned out to be stolen. Like Rick from Pawn Stars said "why would a pawnbroker even want to take in a piece of stolen merchandise?
Right you are! In the Pawn Broker business taking in stolen merchandise is the quickest way to get your license pulled. Working with the Cops is the only way to go.
Old Man, Rick, and Hoss said it stolen goods are more of a hassel then they are worth, they cost the shop money, Old Man calls them a pain in the ass, Rick and some of the main brokers don't want them, and stolen items bring the cops. once a crook fills out a ticket that data is sent to the FBI and when the item shows up as stolen the cops show up to raid the shop and take every item listed as stolen as evidence and during the time this is going on the crook is already in jail.
I worked in pawn shop in San Francisco in the 90s and that was true for our store as well. We didn't want stolen stuff no matter what kind of deal was being offered. People would try to appeal to a sense of greed that we didn't have.. The legitimacy of the business has more value than making a few fast and easy dollars. We always complied with the police.
ldchappell1 indeed buying a stolen item is the quickest way to lose your licence. once a stolen item is brought in the broker needs to file a report with the local police department and fax the same form to the FBI. if an item shows up a stolen they will take it.
+Tony Gallo Woah, now! Don't start quoting facts or making sense. Many YT commenters are just here to be jealous that Rick and his family have a successful pawn shop and TV show and/or call it fake or scripted. News flash: Yes, the TV show is scripted. Yes, they know what is going to be brought in and have the experts already on hand to come give their opinions on days they are shooting. That's why we only see the interesting and/or big money items on the show. But, it is still primarily a pawn shop, and 90+% of his business is people actually pawning items, not selling them outright. People that pawn items generally don't want to be on the TV show. I read his book, and have actually visited the shop last time I was in Vegas.
three or four ? Problem with youtube is, you get punished for your own random guesses & estimates. References & facts show people you took the time, & convince more people :)
potter j my reference is watching the show. And also having dealt with pawnbrokers and comparing prices they offer vs what's on the shelves. You can expect 10-20% the new value of the item, they will sell it for 50-60%
was window shopping for guns at a pawn shop in jacksonville NC, some tweeker came in with 3 sets of wireless headphones still in the box, obviously fresh from the store. they took her info and gave her money for the items. i asked them why they bought them when it was obvious they were stolen, they said that kinda thing happens all the time, they just report it to the cops and then their insurance company covers the difference xD
Well, THIS certainly cleared things up for me. Didn't know that pawn shops were actually honest (well, at least this one) in how they dealt with the goods being sold or pawned to them. To be completely honest myself, I was one of those people who thought that pawn shops were shady in how they obtained their items. However, this video cleared that up by saying that they didn't want to have stolen goods in their store--it's not good for business.

They have unlimited power over the USA's money, and the money of several nations around the world. Not sure if its a good thing but they've been here for like 200 years.
***** en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Bank#Banks Its 12 banks in a literal sense. Though you could be right that its one organization. or 12 it doesn't matter much either way TBH since they have too much power over the economy.
Imagine that a robber walked in the the pawn shop only for Rick to call in someone to check the item out to see if it’s legit and the guy rick calls in claims that the item was his. Idk if that made sense
This show, even though I like it, is NOTHING like a real pawn shop. Nothing. Most pawn shops are where the desperate go to get a little cash for their regular, mundane everyday items. TV's, DVD players and DVD's, game consoles and games, watches (Timex, not Rolex) and all kinds of power tools and garage items. Some have a few cheap guitars, amps, stereos and other odd ball items, but for the most part it's like going to a small department store. And their prices are very inflated. I recently priced a few items just to see if their was any decent savings. Nope. You may save 10 to 15% on average, a few items were 20% cheaper, but you have no idea of the history of the item and it may only last a week before it's fried. Shop elsewhere.
+Charlie Foxtrot The 3rd The Pawnshop I went to was actually priced 10% higher than retail at walmart, needless to say I never went back. They're not bad places for common antiques like Nintendo 64's, items that you might buy out of childhood sentiment. But Ebay is generally much better. Cut out the middleman. You're right though Pawn Stars is dealing with higher class items, but they're in Vegas where they can, and have to.
Generic Scout Good shout. You nailed it all perfectly. Occasionally you may get a deal or find something rare...but for the most part, they're junk dealers.
Charlie Foxtrot The 3rd Trader markets are always preferable for me. Most of my goods either come from retail chains, or from privately owned stalls at the market. One is reliably cheaper and more diverse, the other is more reliable in quality and consistency.
Pablo Camacho Occasionally you will find those rare deals, but I never see them. These are pawn shops around Indianapolis IN, Perhaps in other cities they're more relaxed on the prices, but not here.
+Bob Vance The databases are hooked up to the pawn shop's. all bought items are placed on police hold to be cleared. Now its probably not a two way street. They see his comp, he doesn't see theirs unless he has friends on the force, which is possible.
my best friend is a cop Cory's statement is true every Pawn Shop is visited by the sheriff each day and the Pawn Shop has a direct line to the police. Every computer in a Pawn Shop is connected to the police and FBI databases. If an item is bought, sold, or pawned the person has to fill out a background check and this form is faxed to the police and the FBI. This form shows the item being bought, sold, or pawned and also shows if the buyer has any red flags also known in Cop Speak as 1099s. If the person is wanted or the item is stolen Cory calls in his muscle Antwan and the guy and the item is held until the police arrive.
I've pawned things before, they always take your picture, your ID, and thumbprint. The reason they have to hold on to your item for a certain amount of time after you pawn it is so they make sure it's not stolen. Cory was absolutely correct
I work directly with pawn shops and scrap metal entities. I actually setup the software system. The way it works is the pawn shops or metal recycling entities purchase a software that keeps and on-site database for their own customers kind of like a CRM system. At the end of each day they hit a button for close out and it generates a report that then gets sent to private third-party databases that charge law enforcement entities a fee to access the database. In quite a few states in the u.s. they use a system called leadsonline. In fact all GameStops in the nation use leadsonline as well as every pawn shop in Texas. So technically no the police computers are not directly connected in any sort of way. The police department pays a fee to be able to access the database that organizes and mines the data.
10 years later, first on my feed but I'm subbed to them. I first thought this was about people stealing from inside the store. I've seen this, I think.
I would love to see the episode where they say to the guy: "This story sounds like it's stolen. I am going to give you 2 choices here, A) you hang out and I look it up in the database to see if it is listed as stolen (whether they can do that or not) or B) you leave with it right now"...I would love to see how many people just pick up and go. It would crack me up!!
"its so easy to make it legally" sure is when someone brings you a $40,000 antique rifle in perfect condition, you give him $500 and a sandwich, then sell the gun for $70,000
1. No one is forcing the seller to bring the item to the pawn shop. 2. No one is forcing the seller to accept the offer. 3. If you want full value for your item, don't go to a pawn shop. 4. Just because they put a price tag of x amount of dollars for an item, doesn't mean they'll get x amount of dollars for that item.
I'm surprised that they don't have a camera system in there tied into their computers that has reference points for the items brought in. Giving the description to the cops of a guy with a scruffy beard seems pretty low budget.
Yeah, and they are in Las Vegas the King of the CCTV Cameras. Every Casino within 10 Miles of Rick's shop have "Facial Recognition" software at all their chokepoints of entry and exit. If a Pawn Broker wants to Lose His Ass he would deal in stolen merchandise. You are SO right with your comment.
Security cameras aside, they would already have the guy's photo ID on record in the shop which would have been suffice without verbally asking for a description. Unless the ID turned out to be fake.
Most pawn shops I've been to in Michigan have little cameras by the registers that they snap a quick shot of you with. Can't believe Vegas wouldn't have the same set up
lol noone has a gun to anybody's head when they sell thwm their items. you do know that all businesses sell you stuff for more than they paid for it right?
rking22594 Lol no shit sherlock. They thrive during recessions and take advantage of people when they are most desperate for money. I see they need a profit margin but there profit margin is around the 4 to 1 mark. It's robbery. It's like selling someone water in the desert dying of thirst.
Yes, because it makes perfect sense to buy something for $1000 and sell it for $1000. If your business buys $10,000,000 worth of merchandise a year, but pays $50,000 for utilities, $250,000 for the building, $1,000,000 for staff, $500,000 for restoration/appraisals/authentication, and who knows how much on other operating costs, they would have $7.2 million to work with. You can knock 1% off or $1 million for SHRINK, so $6.2 million. So 38% of the sale would go to overhead and theft. If they pay 50% value, they get 12% of the sale as profit. To expect more is idiotic.

If you want to complain about the pawn shop prices, blame the people who pawn an item, demand top dollar & promise they'll come back, but don't.

At the end of each day they hit a button for close out and it generates a report that then gets sent to private third-party databases that charge law enforcement entities a fee to access the database. In quite a few states in the u.s. they use a system called leadsonline. In fact all GameStops in the nation use leadsonline as well as every pawn shop in Texas. So technically no the police computers are not directly connected in any sort of way. The police department pays a fee to be able to access the database that organizes and mines the data.
10 years later, first on my feed but I'm subbed to them. I first thought this was about people stealing from inside the store. I've seen this, I think.
Plot twist: That "cop" was a theif.
I would love to see the episode where they say to the guy: "This story sounds like it's stolen. I am going to give you 2 choices here, A) you hang out and I look it up in the database to see if it is listed as stolen (whether they can do that or not) or B) you leave with it right now"...I would love to see how many people just pick up and go. It would crack me up!!
"its so easy to make it legally" sure is when someone brings you a $40,000 antique rifle in perfect condition, you give him $500 and a sandwich, then sell the gun for $70,000
Jesse Huck You're a special kinda person aren't you?
The police would confisgate it.
If thats what they accepted, thats what they accepted. I hope it was the best sandwich in the world.
1. No one is forcing the seller to bring the item to the pawn shop.
2. No one is forcing the seller to accept the offer.
3. If you want full value for your item, don't go to a pawn shop.
4. Just because they put a price tag of x amount of dollars for an item, doesn't mean they'll get x amount of dollars for that item.
Not even an entire sandwich
They'll probably just give him a piece of bread
I agree with everything they said and I especially miss the old man.
I'm surprised that they don't have a camera system in there tied into their computers that has reference points for the items brought in. Giving the description to the cops of a guy with a scruffy beard seems pretty low budget.
Yeah, and they are in Las Vegas the King of the CCTV Cameras. Every Casino within 10 Miles of Rick's shop have "Facial Recognition" software at all their chokepoints of entry and exit. If a Pawn Broker wants to Lose His Ass he would deal in stolen merchandise. You are SO right with your comment.
That scene was probably staged... I'm sure they have cctv camera's in which they can punch in the date and time and pull of the video of the suspect.
bisquitnspanky most locals this day and age that do any kind of retail sales are REQUIRED by law to have video surveillance
Security cameras aside, they would already have the guy's photo ID on record in the shop which would have been suffice without verbally asking for a description. Unless the ID turned out to be fake.
Most pawn shops I've been to in Michigan have little cameras by the registers that they snap a quick shot of you with. Can't believe Vegas wouldn't have the same set up
Rick & Corey are 100% Correct !!!
738 people tried to pawn stolen goods!
Customer:I have the ORIGINAL mona lisa
Rick: it's not stolen, right?
"Ummm...lemme phone a friend"
Why's it seem Chumlee's looking at every deal like, "Man, how much meth is THAT worth?"
If Chumlee was doing meth, he wouldn't be so fat.
If you think pawn shops don't deal in stolen goods, I've got a bridge to sell ya...
I’d like to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.
Sit tight.… I’ve got a buddy who is an expert on Brooklyn bridges.
Yeah, he’s definitely the Real thief
"There's 10 Trillion Dollars in this world"
NOT WITH THE FED!!
Printer go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
10 years ago, Rick look the same
‘ Their 10 trillion $ in the world and I jus want my
Lil piece of it ‘ best thing he has said
Cory lost a lot of wait over the years, good for him
Weight not wait
10 years later still in my recommendations
1:18 Chum the Snitch.
Still love that thumbnail
HOMER SIMPSON
neoarcadezr doh!
Rick: life is really good for me.
History channel: I’m about to end this whole mans career (literally)
Wait why
Irony...........crooks complaining about stolen good
lol noone has a gun to anybody's head when they sell thwm their items. you do know that all businesses sell you stuff for more than they paid for it right?
rking22594 Lol no shit sherlock. They thrive during recessions and take advantage of people when they are most desperate for money. I see they need a profit margin but there profit margin is around the 4 to 1 mark. It's robbery. It's like selling someone water in the desert dying of thirst.
You are a special kind of person aren't you?
Yes, because it makes perfect sense to buy something for $1000 and sell it for $1000. If your business buys $10,000,000 worth of merchandise a year, but pays $50,000 for utilities, $250,000 for the building, $1,000,000 for staff, $500,000 for restoration/appraisals/authentication, and who knows how much on other operating costs, they would have $7.2 million to work with. You can knock 1% off or $1 million for SHRINK, so $6.2 million. So 38% of the sale would go to overhead and theft. If they pay 50% value, they get 12% of the sale as profit. To expect more is idiotic.
+ that doesn't even include the amount that goes to the producers and co of the TV side of it.
