what a fucking ignorant and hypocritical argument that is.. That is truly amazing coming from someone of your experience...

Porn addicts? yes, thank you that makes up about what? .1% of our business?? we deal in adult entertainment and porn subscriptions and last I checked we don't accept hawked jewelry as a form of payment.

Must be like visiting a fast food kitchen or something...

How much can i get for my 24k Gold dildos?

are they still Juicy ? :Graucho

I've been to the pawn stars shop a couple of times... It's really not that interesting, it's basically a gift shop for fans of the show. If you actually wanted to do some business you have to call them and make an appointment.

BTW this is how they make a lot of their money: http://stores.ebay.com/Gold-and-Silver-Pawn-Shop

It's all about trademark and not uniqueness of name. As long as the US company does not have a registered trademark in Canada for that name, the Canadian is free to use it. I am not sure the US company could even register it as a trademark in Canada unless they were doing business in Canada.

So you will find some big companies like Toyota have trademarks all over the world for both their name and their logo and they qualify since they do business in the countries. But Jim's Place might be owned by a bar owner in London, and he may never register the name of his bar as a trademark and there could be a ton of people using the same name all over the world and it would be all perfectly legal.

pretty scant page to make money from :winkwink:

i've been there, it's a $20ish cab ride from Wynn.

Only if I gambled all my money away, maxed out my cards, and sold my return flight ticket, and my gf refused to turn tricks. Would i visit the pawn shop

24000 feedback is a lot of transactions... I'm just saying they don't just throw the stuff they get into the display case in the store.

50 trips to the Pawnshop! :pimp

Not that I would have a problem selling porn to anyone over 18 nor would I have a problem buying merchandise from people who were selling it because they had a gambling addiction.

Do more people have gambling addiction than porn addiction, very likely so.

The ignorant thing was your comment on how hard it would be for you to stomach watching someone sell something to fuel their gambling addiction. It's business, our business of selling porn isn't any more righteous than someone running a pawn shop. Hell most people could argue what we do is 10x worst. Porn has it's own set of moral dilemmas, which you seem to have no problem stomaching those.

Funny story: Before the show was on, I won 700 at the casinos and walked back there to see if I could get a good deal on a watch. There was a FRED watch that I really liked with a 1200 price tag on it. I was dealing with the grandson (the bald guy's son). He held it up to his dad for 3 seconds and said, what's the best we can do in this? He said $300. I am pretty sure the dad thought I was selling this watch and they were buying it. I quickly said, cool cool, and went to the cash register. The guy in the back sized it for me and said how great this watch was and they go for over 2000 new. They polished it up and it was the best deal I ever got. It must've been some football player's watch since they took 6 links off it. There were some sketchy ass meth heads in there, that I never really see on the show. Wish they had an UNCENSORED DVD of the whackjobs that roll in there or the hookers trying to barter for better deals. You feel the eerieness of all the engagement rings there....its so pathetic.

I wanna go there with some bullshit item and a photoshopped certificate and practice a civil war story or some crazy meeting with a celebrity just to see if I could pull it off.

that is the real world of pawn:winkwink: if you like that, check out Hardcore Pawn show, thats the real thing

Why does Chumlee not wash his hair or maybe even anything, it's fucking nasty dude has lots of cash now and even if he didn't buy a bottle of shampoo for 99 cents lol wtf.

But hardcore pawn is great and real guys come in after being up for 3 week on crack and think they are going to get enough for an uncut kilo of pure coke for a busted stolen xbox they dropped on the way in and then threaten to kill the older sleezy guy in the leather jacket and the big gaurds pull him out and throw him in the street lol.

Sure it wasn't hardcore pawn?

I would like to, but let me call my friend who knows about visiting pawn shops

you are correct , it was :thumbsup

:1orglaugh Good one, sounds like such a tool, then ends up paying too much for the shit:winkwink:

amazing!

YES , Love a big white screen:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

hardcore pawn is fake ,and so is pawn stars in part , it is television with actors coming in as people wanting to pawn stuff , kind of dumb .. pawn stars is the more realistic one of the two , but still not quite "real"
