Pawn Stars

The Gold & Silver Pawn Shop store seen on camera is a real store and is truly owned by the Harrisons. However, nowadays it has become more of a place for curious fans to drop in as opposed to an actual pawn shop. Due to Nevada privacy laws, the stars of the show cannot even work the counter in real life anymore during business hours. While the show spotlights customers and their artifacts they bring in to sell or pawn, it also pans in on interpersonal conflicts among the cast members. What viewers may not realize is that all of the items that are showcased have already been carefully researched with prices agreed upon before the camera starts rolling.
