He reminds me of those people that everyone thinks he's an idiot and can proceed as an idiot but deep down he's not that dumb but actually a genius

Eh, I don't think Chumlee is a GENIUS, but he definitely isn't a complete dumbass or anything.

He has smarts but the show might of edited them out

Maybe, or maybe he was just a lowly...whatever is low in a pawn shop.

Or maybe he really did smarten up over time. Since they were teaching him on some episodes.

My only question is that: WHY WOULD YOU SELL (RARE) HISTORICAL ITEMS TO A PAWN SHOP?

Desperate for money?

Don't care about the significance?

You're significant other doesn't care about the significance and wants it out and you care more about your significant other than the item?

You want someone who'd truly appreciate it (full appreciate it) to have it?

Well the reason why I ask the question is because Pawn shops try to buy the merchandise from the seller then sell it at a higher price (even though it's half off of retail). I understand it's for profit (I work at the pawn industry) but I couldn't price history.

Well, it's the same for any other item-supply and demand. They don't buy items that they think there is like no demand for unless they can get it really cheap?

And they usually call in an expert and they price it at auction prices?

I don't know much about pawn except around here...they like to screw you on both ends. I get better offers from gamestop for gaming things .-.

I work at a pawn shop (EZPAWN more specifically) and we do sell games between $2.99-$14.99. and when someone wants to sell them its 50¢ each (or a dollar I can't remember) and when someone want to pawn/sell DVD we take them in at 50¢ each because there's a low demand for them all because of Netflix and movie streaming. Blu-Rays $1 each.

Anyway video games/ gaming system are right now for us are selling through the roof because it's cheap and we can add in a warranty that costs 10% of the price and that includes the hookups, and a controller.

Nice. Sounds like a decent deal at least. Although I know quite a few people get shafted pretty badly selling items to pawn shops....

Well it all depends what's going out there, online is the best way to find the prices and it' depends on the age of the product like we don't take cassette players, analog TVS anymore because their too old and it depends on the condition of the item whether it looks like its taking care of or if it beating to a pulp.

I don't the characters in Pawn Stars, minus Rick, but I do like the items and the history.
