I'm watching Storage Wars Texas for the first time right now... Is it normal to have an urge to punch Victor in his smug rear end in a top hat face?

Even though he virtually admits on camera that he's not like that at all and they make him play up the sleazeball role so that the show has a 'villain'. Look at him when he's getting something appraised, and how genuinely enthusiastic and interested he gets. I'd say that's a lot closer to the real Victor.

Why do you have to go and bring reality into this? Harsh man.

The Chumlee surveillance video was amazing. As was Antoine shaking his head at the thought of having the Klingon sword. I'm disappointed with the lack of Pawn Stars discussion.

They are burning through gun appraisers like nothing. Wonder if they pay these guys jack poo poo and they get pissed and leave the show when nothing comes their way. The latest guy has some pretty bad Alzheimer's. Found this interesting post on some military board looking for info: quote:I just watched an episode of Pawn Stars where some poor sucker brought in a Colt mod. 1873 Peacemaker, screw in frame (all screw in frame pistols were made for black powdeer cartridges, later smokeless guns replaced the screw in frame with a spring loaded button to release the cylinder for cleaning), black powder revolver made in 1884. It was nickle plated and in very good condition. The star of the show told the guy that he didn't think that they were normally nickle plated and had to call an "expert" to evalluate it. The "Expert" looked at it and commented that the loading gate had a different serial number than the frame, bbl and grip frame. His "expert" opinion was that the loading gate had been replaced at some point. The "Expert" put the vallue at between 4 and 6 thousand dollars. The star of the show offered the guy 2 K citing the mis-matched serial numbers on the loading gate. That pistol was worth about 12 K. The "Expert" doesn't seem to know that the numbers on the loading gate are "Batch Numbers" and never match the numbers on the gun. I've been collecting Colts for about 40 years and have NEVER come across an 1873 with a number on a loading gate that matches a serial number. I have several NEW IN BOX pistols that have never been fired. None of the loading gate numbers match. That guy has been screwing his customers big time!

Add him to the list of bad appraisers (along with the guy who somehow misidentified a signature as Al Pacino's when it was some producer instead.

I kinda liked this show, although I was flipping between it and Monster Man. What I saw though, I enjoyed. I'm glad there were some loose items as well as boxed miscellaneous stuff to bid on instead of just mystery suitcases/luggage. Some nice amps and guitars and that painting! I didn't get to see what the items were worth though. I'll see if I can catch a rerun this weekend.

So maybe he got tired of driving to Vegas every week to shoot a 5 minute scene. I know his replacement was the Gatling gun guy who Rick drove for four hours to see, so I can imagine that guy got sick of the drive as well. Or maybe they're getting a TV show or something.

I wonder how many celebrity car enthusiasts (or car enthusiasts in general) are raging about Danny telling Rick to not buy Jackie Gleason's limo because of how much money it'll take to fix the cosmetic problems. I did love the build up before Danny told them the truth since it actually seemed like he was going to give an estimate.

Yeah, but if you're gonna try and sell Jackie Gleason's limo, you gotta at least run it through a car wash. That car was filthy.

Pawn star did an episode showing "The Wright Stuff" and I found myself wanting to punch the guy who was selling Orville Weight memorabilia for his gambling fund. Took 1/5 their worth too without any remorse.

I didn't know that on American Restoration (which is on right now), Bretley is Kelly's (Rick's girlfriend/fiancé) son. Now it makes sense why they keep him on even though he's this show's version of Chumlee.

There has to be meth involved somewhere.

The Pickers guys are getting pretty insulting with their prices, especially Frank. $75 for that bar? Really? The toothbrush holders weren't cheap enough at $5 each? You had to knock the poor woman down to $2 each?

Thing is, something that rare isn't worth what the seller is willing to sell it for. It's worth what a buyer is willing to pay. Take it to Southeby's and see if he get's $50K. That dude in the Cajun Pawn Stars pilot episode that had not one, but two brother sister sets of $5K/$10K notes wasn't asking $650K for one note.
