Was visiting my son's family in Taylor outside of Detroit a couple of years ago and decided to check out their pawn shop. It was easy to find a parking spot, I walked in and the daughter, Ashley was actually working the counter. I was looking at watches and she came over to ask if I needed help. Didn't buy anything but did talk to her a bit, she was extremely nice. Saw the son but didn't talk to him. Les came out and walked around the shop talking to customers. I was impressed. They seem like genuinely nice folks.
Oh shit really I live right in those where abouts....... flat rock if you know wheee that’s at
Robbie Bazemore i'm on my sister youtube acc and I have videos and you don't so stop hating
Bullshit
Grande Les 👍👍👍👍👍
This not a reply, just my thought. Seth always seems to want to challenge a customer he disagrees with to a one on one settlement. Seth comes around the counter all puffed up an states , well here I am, all 140 lbs. And surrounded by 300 lb. Security guards. Without Security Seth would have had a bowel movement. I wish Ashley looked as attractive as she feels. I am no T bone steak myself. So why do I watch the show, It sure beats the bachelor etc. Sleep well, everyone. Just my opinion.
longest hardcore pawn ad ever
Truth.
yup.
+Aron Kovacs Pretty much. I thought this was going to go into how crap the show is - but after like 45 seconds, I stopped watching.
+MaidenRocks99 same, well 1:47
the ads are adapting, taking on human form
I visited the pawn shop in June 2013 when my daughter got married in Detroit and I had a day to kill. There were few people in the store but they were filming that day. A producer asked me if I would consider "standing in line for about 20 minutes" so the background looked like the store was very busy. Almost all the customers in the store agreed to do this as well. I watched them film as a supposedly irate customer tried to return a TV that he claimed didn't work after got it home after purchasing it at the shop. The guy was joking and laughing between the 5 takes where they filmed him yelling and generally being beligerent as instructed by a producer. As part of the scene, he was marched out the door with his broken TV - 5 times. Not staged, no acting? B.S. The whole scene was scripted by a producer/director who coached the ALL players in the scene every step of the way. The show was totally fabricated, AND this scene made it onto a televised episode!
Yeah, it's obvious that it's all fake as far as their behaviour and outcome. And you can tell because nobody ever looks at the camera and they have a mic on them.
My girlfriend and I literally just met all of them, except for Ashley, last saturday 12/10/16, and they're awesome people! The store is a real pawn shop, but they are also very real people too. Real accommodating and personable if you're not ridiculous to them. Les even sent us to one of his favorite restaurants and told us to drop his name, how cool is that!! Great show, great people, it's how America should be in all towns, in all states, and how people should be anywhere in the world.
But you'll watch their videos though. Still, what a coincidence! I don't want inbred kraut white supremacists in MY country either! Maybe you're just jealous because you can't afford a German car, lol. Get lost Hillary.
Scheherazade Well there is, and there's nothing you can do about it, because you're a bitch.
+thagrammarnazi I can beat your ass, I live in Connecticut, where are you? Come to my state so we can chat homeboy
salvagedrover I love you
They seem nice if you are nice, but all people react nicely to people beeing nice, most of the time. Ashley has to be one of the rudest, most obnoxious people out there. No sense of costumer service.
Not scripted? .......and I'm King Auther, typing from the beyond.
+Joseph McNulty My liege!!
+Joseph McNulty
scripted yes. THEN acted by BAD actors.
+Joseph McNulty
youre a guitar expert! coool.
+Joseph McNulty 100% scripted, I know someone who worked there....they also said Ashley only shows up on days they are taping....the whole sister brother thing is ALL FAKE. Seth is a LIAR, he knows dam well if it came out as FAKE the gravy train would dry up....just like those FAKE REPO shows, most of what they do isn't even LEGAL.
Sox Celts
the WHOLE thing is sooooo FAKE.
the nutcases that rampage left and right are obviously coached and BAD acting.
ITS WHY I WATCH THE SHOW.
They have set ups that are scripted!
+Jim Key Yeah there's a lot of fake scenes on that show.
Yes Definitely .
the one with the tow truck company trying to muscle in is definitely fake
yes, an 8diot can see it a mile away
I'M LES GOLD,
AND THIS IS MY PAWN SHOP, I'M THE PROUD OWNER OF AMERICAN JEWELRY AND LOAN, I WORK HERE WITH MY OVERLY OBESE BITCH OF A DAUGHTER ASHLEY WHO IS A LITTLE YELLOW JEWISH BEACH BEACH BALL AND MY FUCKING DICKHEAD SHYLOCK OF AN ADOPTED SON NAMED SETH. AND IF THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW AFTER 21 YEARS OF RIPPING THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF DETROIT OFF, IT'S THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH CRACK HEAD NIGGA IS GONNA' COME THROUGH THAT DOOR!
what are you talking about? Les is the one who actually cared to look at the burmese ruby
Σpsilon yep and les never bought that doctors van from a scrapyard he bought it of a seller coming in
It's nice to see honesty from the staff at Hardcore Pawn especially when it's televised. Les and his family run a proper business with the best intentions to his customers and staff. A lot of television programs are made up for the viewers but this is the real deal. There's not many people who would tell you that a $100 item is worth $10,000. Most pawn shops would not be so honest and make a huge profit. A little honesty goes a long way in my books!
they sold it for 5 times what they gave her they ripped her off simple
Ashley did not give a woman 10k for her ruby. In fact Ashley was the one person in the shop claiming they were all useless bits of glass. It was actually Les that said im sure this is a ruby and got it checked out. Ashley was just there when they told the woman how much it was worth. But it was 100% les who was on the side of the woman, not ashley
Not to mention in a separate episode Seth called an older lady back into the shop to talk about merchandise she sold.
Turns out it was worth significantly more then they thought, and Seth paid her extra to make it more fair since she needed the money so badly.
I read the title wrong
+MeLikeBigBoom lmao I think I understand what you mean.
Lmao that was funny
@Ray Perez Les 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is a true story. I worked at a car wash years ago and I was washing a Ford suv and I asked him where he’s from and he said Detroit. I said “oh so your into hardcore pawn”? And he’s like “wtf no....” he also heard wrong....I could of corrected myself but I just left the vibe very awkward
Great job all your videos. Here comes a like and a subscribed
Good luck getting to 1 million subs. Looks like youll have it soon
My wife and I were in that shop in 2013 when my daughter was in St John Providence hosp.They asked us if we would do a little skit for them to be on TV, we said yes. They were very nice people and it was a lot of fun, but we never saw it on a show.Oh well so much for our 15 minutes of fame.
"unscripted" lmao i'm out...
ikr
+Kappa right
+Kappa kappa
Yeh that's why there always fit with a mic when they go in lol
+Kappa I'm out as well lets take our business to Pawn Stars! LOL!!
If it were real, how come we have heard conversations that have taken place in "customers"' cars as they are leaving? Wardrobe are forgetting to recover the hidden mics before they leave the shop, I suspect. ;-)
I had a awesome experience at the pawn shop,i placed some items in pawn after my house was home invaded an I moved,recently,it was my birthday,an I asked to sell a bracelet,already in there for more money,(you can sell your pawned items)the guy told the girl to ask what I needed the money for,i said insurance,an tabs,its my birthday,he gave me the money,added it to my ticket,an said she's been a good customer,im not taking her jewelry,happy birthday,an wrote the loan for more,when no one else would help me,I love you guys,thank you
What does a guy getting killed 2 years after visiting the shop, in an unrelated incident have to do with the shop not being a safe place to visit.
I thought it said hardcore porn not hardcore pawn
SAME!
lol same. love the avatar. Empire something right?
+Florahitman no it's Hydra from Marvel comics
+Vincent Rodriguez I knew, it was from some comic company😅 Cheers
+Florahitman ok cheers to you as well
Totally real show. Like when they barge into see Les in his office and there just happens to be a camera man in there focused on the door waiting for it to open. Or like the very last episode I ever watched when once they barged in, during repositioning of the camera there was a brief shot of the floor showing three red taped Xs. Then Seth and Ash walked forward and stopped exactly were two of the Xs were. After Seth made his opening complaint Ash stepped forward to the location of the third X to run her mouth. All of which just happened to have left them perfectly framed up for other multiple angle camera shots. But the stars of the show say it's totally unscripted so obvious it has to be.
Xterraforce wish I could move your comment to the top! Looper can't be trusted! :)
It's fake, the customers are acting. Duh
I really enjoyed the show and wish it was still on the air very interesting info. Thanks
I laugh my face off every episode when Seth or Ashley (or even Les) step from behind the counter to accost an angry customer...knowing full well there is security there to make certain they aren't harmed. It's even funnier when they take it out to the carpark 'coz if their security went back inside without them they would quite literally crap their pants.
Another little known fact: before doing Hardcore Pawn, Seth Gold used to be the Scout in Team Fortress 2.
+KrossoverGod
I can never unsee it....
I read the title just wrong enough
lol me too!
lol
Hardcore corn?
Jose Cortes yeah kid
Hardcore Horn?
I love how everyone is so quick to judge wether a show is real or not. Just enjoy it. Tbh this shit funny when customers freak out
Les you have a beautiful family. Your children need to be thankful you include them in this program. Not having this business they might be on the wrong side of the area. Kids be thankful your father is still alive, my father died when I was 21. I would give anything to work side by side. Break a leg, thanks for all you do.
I can't stand the owners daughter. Who could listen to that whining all day?
Ugh! Agreed. What a bitch!
I feel the same. Bitch puts me off the show. Her face makes me angry lol
She's the reason I stopped watching lol
What do people have against Ashley? I think she's pretty savage.
they lied about her, the dumb bitch said those gems in the bag were just glass, it was her dad who had them tested by their jeweler the whole while dumb bitch was saying it was a waste time
2:25 that's not true... if you've seen the episode, you know that it was her dad, who insisted that the stones should be appraised.
Nice voice btw
Anda Niewiederrest exactly Ashley was trying to say none of it was real
I saw the show where the woman wanted $100.00 for her bag of stones. In reality, Ashley thought the stones were cheap costume jewelry stones. She didn't even know that the red stone WAS a Burmese Ruby. Les happened to see the red stone and brought it to the guy who certifies their stones who just happened to be in the store that day. The Gemologist authenticated the stone as being a rare Burmese Ruby. Bottom Line....Ashley didn't know her stones. This video wants to give Ashley all the credit when she was about to turn the woman down. Les and the Gemologist saved the day. Ashley is a joke.
Somehow the gemologist was there when needed, i bet that was also scripted
fermin benedetti ashley is an ugly pig
I remember that episode! Ashley is an ass sometimes
@@elbattarijamil7781 The Gemologist came later that day
@@elbattarijamil7781 Dumbass. Les was literally on the phone with him. So then they cut it to the point where he arrived.
My wife and met Seth in their shop while visiting the US. He was a very friendly down to earth dude. Not surprised he apposed the high interest thing.
okay so at the end the say the show is real.. but earlier they said that Les bought Dr Kevorkians van and had it for 20 years.. but on the show they showed him buying it....
+Frankie Theoret busted
+Frankie Theoret He bought it in 1997, sold it in 2014. That's 17 years, which is almost 20, like they said. They showed a picture of him with the proof of authenticity and that it was in fact located at the store. That's all the info I got out of the clip. I don't watch the show, so I don't know if he buys it in an episode or something. If he does buy it on the show, then yeah, busted.
shows looper doesnt do their homework either, they just slap shit together.. they could of easily did a snarky comment proving seth was lying.. dropped the ball completely.
***** Then yeah, they dun goofed.
Same reason, I really hate his girl.
Anybody else find a problem with most of these "Truths" in this video, The chick that had the bag of jewels, Ashley told to leave because the jewels "Where not worth anything, They are all glass". Plus, if the Golds give $10K for an item... that must mean said item is worth what.... 5, maybe 6 trillion dollars?
+Fred Bosco lmao
+Fred Bosco Generally, pawn and this kind of retail work on a 50% commission. So, actually, she would sell it closer to $20-25K more likely. It actually makes more sense to appraise honestly because it will increase your credibility for high value items, which garner the heaviest commissions. You can make one profit, or a bunch if you are honest, because it will gain more clientele. But, I do agree, "truth" is used pretty loosely in this context, especially if it's "untold" considering they literally said this was on a radio interview.
TropicalPriest You've obviously have never seen the show lol
sllimthg
What's your experience like in second-hand goods?
I've pawned, sold and bought from pawn shops for years and I'll tell you, watching these dirtbags on t.v., I wouldn't go within 100 miles of their shop.
Yeah its so real customers come into the store wearing wireless mic rigs.
I love this show ,Les is a great guy ,I remember watching the episode where he went down in the warehouse while hecwasvtrying to stock the showroom with tv,s that episode made me cry !
Is Rosie O'Donnald the Mother. They all have a Potato head look.
lmao
Stole the words out of my mouth lol
Les has a great face for RADIO !
"according go the owner its real" lol funny
I love the show & the Gold family, my question is when are they coming back to their show? A lot of my friends & l would like to know! I hope it is soon!
It was actually Les Gold who sold the ruby for £10,000. Not Ashley
It's hard to believe that it's real when there are multiple camera angles and no camera men can be seen.
exactly....
+Lacey Forever It's just called good camera work. Not an excuse for it being real though.
+Lacey Forever WORD. !!! Finally someone gets it. Congrats to you.:-).!!!! The face to face profile side shots HAVE to be staged. Just look at how they are done. Director,. "O.K. Seth call him a lair". O.K. Person, Cuss Seth out and threaten him". O.KKK. Ready.! Set.! And ACTION.!!!! More fake than Wrestling.!!!
+Aaron Price Exactly as fake as wrestling*
They don't script this garbage on the fly.
I've been there when they were filming. the camera crew is 3 people, a cameraman a sound guy and a guy holding the boom mic.
It's not real... I live near Detroit, they go on Craigslist or EBay and look for locals to come in and act "abnormal", email them and set a time and day for them to appear on the show
What did you type in to find that on craigslist?
They go on eBay to look for actors yeah that sounds legit.
+KYSchallenges Sounds VERY True to me They get an appearance fee to have their face on T.V. Why would someone just walk off the street with all the cameras and such just to pick a fight.
+Aaron Price Ratings
Lmao @ that shoe being unscripted! I only needed to watch 3 minutes to notice it was very, very rehearsed.
What if a fan comes in and tells Les "I'm a big fan of your show" what would Les say?
Probably thank you for watching the show can I sell you an autograph?
Please tell me they do change their underwear at least. 😂😂😂😂especially Ashley
Les is a hero of mine because he tells it just as it is. One of the first things I heard him say was "everyone tells lies". As I'm someone who deals with the general public every day that is soooo true. As for that Ashley creature? She's just the most horrid kind of person who'd ever want to encounter behind a counter.
Been there in 2015, the store looks bigger and nicer on TV than it actually is.
At last, an honest pawn shop show! I used to have to pawn, back when I was in the Navy and short of cash for a trip home, and the local shop, in Norfolk, Va, was the first place I would go for a loan. They were always courteous, never demeaning, and their rates were the best around! (Better than borrowing from a shipmate, at least!)
The customers are acting bro.
I still think this show is Super scripted.
obviously you dumbass
def man so scripted not even funny
+Mike Morris
That's because it is ;)
the shop is famous now so I'm sure a bunch of people go in and act a fool simply to get 10 secs of fame
clusterfuck3
I don't doubt that for 1 second!
The show is fake, I stopped watching
right..ugh..too messy
+Tiara Robinson Every time i see it i feel dirty and need a chemical bath.
+fragwits That's the truth! "Reality" TV is as fake as it gets.
+Queen Heavenly (Angel) I think you're right. Most of the arguments might be staged. Who is NOT going to take advantage of the cameras and all the rest just to be on T.V. Also, Way to much editing in the plots to be very real.
there was a guy who was selling some items on metro Detroit craigslist that said the show contacted him and offered to pay him a set amount for his item and a bit more if he would "act crazy"
I am glad to see they have honor.
I had them on my FB and they used to leave messages on it.
I always enjoyed this show and I wish I could still see it on TV
Why the fuck was this recommended for me so much?
What? No.
Ashley didnt want to buy the stones. Les had to overrule her to get them appraised. Only then did she care.
I saw the episode about the van. that's awesome
I'm glad that van was sold. I am sure there has been so much "energy" in there for those ghost hunters. :-o!
My favorite episode was the black lady who had a fake ticket to get her pawned ring back
+May I. Tutchem Had an attorney and everything I remember that one.
i clicked on the video expecting the truth about hardcore porn. But i was wrong.sigh. boring.
hater
+Anonymous Anonymous It was gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8
+JoshxIZ Truth is it's all scripted BS
I'm shocked how the way those customers act, a fight hasn't happened. but it's probably because of how big the security is.
A guy in the Toledo Police Department told my dad that when searching for a piece of evidence they called this place asking if they had it. They (one of the people on the show) told them they didnt have it, but gave them a couple of suggestions for Detroit pawn shops that might have it.
the show isnt fake. i thought that episode when the security guard got arrested for stealing was fake so i looked into it and he legit did 4 years jail time for it
You swear?? dayumm I was sure that was fake. I'm gonna look that up now
Neopet Swagger mdocweb.state.mi.us/otis2/otis2profile.aspx?mdocnumber=537702
why would it be fake lol
+Me Mr. Who? So they have saucy shit to put on tv.
Neopet Swagger It wouldn't be fake regardless fuck the TV show they're trying to run a business.
Wow, I can't believe Seth actually had redeeming qualities. Good man.
I still can't believe it's completely unscripted. I haven't watched it in awhile, but I remember seeing a lot of fishy shit.
I wish I could go in there and when he says 'Whats the least youll take for this?, I would say "Whats the most youll give fort it!
I literally watched the Ruby episode on cable today for the first time lol. I miss the early 10's we ran tru it too fast
Coolest item ever on Hardcore Pawn GO
keep it up looper you are doing great
Love the vid. Could you please tell me what the music track in the background is called? I've been trying to find out for ages. Thanks!
+Looper the horse
+Looper SILVER SURFER STATUE
Jack Kevorkians van was pretty cool. Not something you'd expect in a pawn brokers. I liked the alligators, and the stripper pole and sex table were pretty cool.
I've seen them be rude as hell to some customers and I don't know if that is supposed to make it more appealing and add more drama or what? If I had to choose between Hardcore Pawn or Pawn Stars, it would definitely be Pawn Stars. Ashley seems like someone that I couldn't be around for very long without losing my temper!! I just don't like that chick, she's too damn rude.
+walking back81 They're in Detroit, I'd be rude if over half my customers were crackheads too, the Pawn Stars guys are "nice"because there are cameras there
+Anibal Perez I've been to Detroit many times, I had to go there on buissness a lot over the course of a few years. I saw the biggest rat in my life there!! People say that rats are big in New York but I've been to both places and Detroit is just a nasty place. Abandoned houses and stores with Graffiti everywhere so there might be something to what you said about the crackheads. Although you said that the Pawn Star guys are only nice because the cameras are there, but they are at both locations and only one group of people are rude. Pawnshops are generally associated with people that are in a tough spot and need cash quick, also one could argue that their main clientele are typically drug addicts or just shady people in general. I know not everyone that visits a pawnshop is a criminal or a less then desirable person but they can sometimes earn that reputation especially if there location is in a bad area but truth be told you can find some good deals at pawnshops.
+walking back81 Thank Democrats for running that city into the ground.
+AdderTude Lol i bet you are republicans because only a rep will claim that democrats destroyed the city while it's the republicans that did. Congrats for being biased.
+Jordan Ashlee Drzinski I'm just an average person that has absolutely No contact with the goverment except for when they take my money just like they do to everyone else, and it's just as much YOUR fault as mine. The truth is that You know nothing about me and to sit there and blame a complete stranger for something that is obviously out of his control, it just shows how ignorant you are!! I know nothing about you but I can already tell that you blame other people for your mistakes, I've met people like you before and it wouldn't surprise me if you went as far as blaming other people for you being over weight too!! LMAO. What a sad little person you must be. LOL. I bet you hear this all the time but Your Ignorance is showing!!!
I actually enjoyed watching the show hardcore pawn because it helped me learn about what to look for in life when it comes to buying stuff and reselling it and how to negotiate reasonable prices. To buy it and how to double my investment.
From what I see these are honest decent folks trying to make their way in the world of pawn brokering in a tough neighborhood
That show is as real as that photo they have of big foot.
You can be sure that a lot of the customers were producer setups, and while the owners of the pawnshop may not be aware, a lot of it is in all likelyhood scripted.
Hey what ever the scenario, they sound like honest business people. I hope to visit there this summer on my trip to the Henry Ford.
The vw van that Zak Bagans bought he has it on display at his museum in Las Vegas
You're kidding me right? I thought you guys were doing a good job and I could believe most of the video up until "it is 100% real". Unbelievable.
I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop, I work here with my old man and my son, "Big Hoss". Everything in here has a story and a price. Something I've learned over 21 years in the business is that you will never know what's coming through that door.
My son and I stopped there about 2014. It was just like it was on TV. Kinda scary.
I would like to know what kind of necklace does Less wears?? What kind of links does it have? Thank you.
B.S. Hardcore Pawn is the studio wrestling of reality t.v.
I remember i used to stay up late to watch this on tv because i thought it said hardcore porn 😁

good for you seth for explaining the business to non business people.
Ashley didn't find that gem she didn't think the gem was worth anything Les is the one that had the gem looked at and found out it was worth a lot
With just one episode, I knew this show was fake as hell.
Jarod Smith season 1 was totally legit actually. But the action wasn’t enough for the viewers apparently, so they started having scripted incidents in the next seasons.
All reality shows are. This is a well known fact
No duh why didn’t the angry customers attack the camera men?CAYSE THEY WERE ACTORS
@@andy783 maybe cos you got 3 to 400 pound monster bodyguards that will jump on your head... you go there and try and see how you fair ..
@Eagle1 u should keep your hands of your mum ... It's just not natural
I had a bad experience looking to buy some equipment from this place, i was looking to purchase a backpack leaf blower until noticed it was only 30 dollars cheaper than a brand new one and it was very worn. I'm guessing it's a small amount of ppl still buying and selling to pawnshops, with apps like letgo you'll get more money and pay less than you would dealing with pawnshops.
Les is a cool guy in real life and is really nice. I didn't think he'd be so friendly. His lake house is next to the house I'm renting in Michigan.
"We wear the same clothes for continuity purposes" more like you film the entire season in one day and pay a bunch of people to come in and create drama.
+Trevor Meyers lol ikr.
All they ever offer is $50 for everything.?
$4
Give me $100, and I'll take that $50 off your hands.
pawn shops treat everybody like crackheads you have $340 stuff they only want to give you 50
+simon barter Someone brought in a silver Lee Iaccoca car I think it was and got $60,000.00 for it. They got screwed. He could have gotten much more going to a classic car auction. Meecon Car Auction I think it it is. Classic like that one go for $XXXX,XXXX00.00 dollars all the time.
They give 50 for an High end item, then turn around and sell it at top dollar.. pawn brokers are evil sharks
All I know is what I've seen. I have been to both American jewelry & Coin and Gold & Silver pawn Shop. When in the Vegas store I asked where Chumlee & Rick were & was told they only come in during filming.When I went to American Jewelry in Detroit (on a Sunday) Les was behind the counter waiting on a customer.
Im from the world of Downunder & i watch the Hardcore Pawn all the the time & someday when i get to the USA, im going to go to the D & see & chek out the shop for real, oh yer, keep up the good work the Gold family.
Hardcore Pawn is a scripted show just like all the so called reality shows
+Nancinmofo90266 ok
Some are more real
Real? So people always walk around wearing wireless microphones?
+paddy msg How am I a "Poor ignorant bastard". I have been working in commercial Television since 1997. I have shot video in large open areas like that--and unless someone is mic'ed up... the audio SUCKS. Plus, it's kind of funny that people will go in and try to pull some shit--but have no problems doing it in front of a minimum of 3 cameras... If you think this is REAL, and not reenacted/rehearsed--then I will take Will Rogers' advice about arguing with an idiot.
Boom mics
paddy mcg you’re fucking stupid
surprisingly yes they do it even where I work except my place isn't a reality show I hope.
dialingdust in this case, it’s fake. Apparently someone from the area saw one of their friends on the show throwing a fit and said that person would NEVER act that way. I don’t doubt that there are places out there who deal with these kinds of people but this is just flat out fake. But still funny af
Actually the one about Ashley finding the Burmese ruby isn't true. Les took a chance on the bag of stones because the young lady needed money to bury her grandmother and the guy that appraises the gems is the one that found it .
I happened to be in Detroit trying to work at the time around mid March 2010 I believe Southern raised from Texas I went to see the pawn shop but they were closed. The next day I went back and introduced myself to Ashley Seth and Les and of course the 7 foot gentleman that gave me a personal exit with assistance.....I never did find that manager guy I was looking for...... The watch?? I had the gold family autograph it and now my episode has hit just shy of 13 million views on UA-cam I'm ready to sell the watch and donate 51% of the money to Les Gold choice.... Monster deals season 3 episode 7 I believe..,. UA-cam search man gets snatched up..... The gold family are extremely nice genuine people it was my pleasure.....
dude how did i end up here
There. I watched it. GET OUT OF MY RECOMMENDATIONS
that van featured in an episode where the "owner" brought it in and wanted to sell it to Les. Looks like it was already his and owned it for 20 years.
"I'm here to complain and make a big scene at your Pawn Shop!"
"Okay, hang on. We need to put a lapel mic on you first. Oh, and can you sign the waiver so we can use your likeness and voice on TV?"

I don't care what you lot say, I've got the hots for Ashley.
hear hear buddy ..
I always liked it when a customer would get angry talking to one of them thru the glass windows. Ashley or Seth would then act all bad ass and tell them they were not afraid of them and offer to come out to the sales floor. Then they would...but there was ALWAYS at least one, some times two, security officers standing right beside them! Really brave. Both are total assholes.
yall need to revisit the scripted part, i live in michigan, i have been there, and you even said that the counterfeit guy signed a waiver to be on the show. I walked in there just to take a look, and they asked me when i came in the door, and then they asked everyone else who came in the door too.
