Pawn Stars Mixin’ It Up With iCarly Stars

Without speculating or assuming about the fans who routinely watch Pawn Stars and their taste in cable TV shows, I think it would be safe to assume that many of you have kids that watch iCarly, a Nickelodeon sitcom. The reason for bringing this up is that the most unanticipated and unexpected move has been announced; and you won’t believe it.

Later in 2012, yours truly, the boys from Pawn Stars – Rick Harrison, Corey Harrison and Chumlee (Austin Russell) –  have a guest spot on an episode of iCarly; unbelievable. These pawn shop celebrities in their own right have really crossed some influential paths just by being who they are in their own cable hit series. As unlikely as it may seem, the stars of iCarly will be hosting these guys as part of a story line that takes Sam and Carly on a road trip to the star-studded gambling capitol of the world, Las Vegas.

As it has been released, the need for some serious cash, quick, Sam and Carly stumble upon the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, aka Pawn Stars store, trying to pawn some stuff. From here, only your imagination can guess what will actually happen. Rest assured, any ideas that Chumlee will be any different should be tossed out the window. He needs to be himself, that’s what works in Pawn Stars, and it will work with iCarly as well. Perhaps, some serious teasing and taunting by Rick and Corey can yield some Three Stooges comedy to really add some humor to the set.

How ever it goes, it is a sure bet that the cast and crew of two very popular series will have a great time together. What else could anyone expect? When the worlds of Pawn Stars and iCarly collide, all bets are off, even in Las Vegas, on what comedy will ensue. In fact, I wonder if they have considered the combination of Spencer (the incredibly funny character from iCarly) and Chumlee experiencing a hillarious interchange would turn out? Well, I guess we will have to just tune in to find out.

Providing the best online shopping experience, a pawn shop provides the opportunity for anyone to sell designer handbags, pawn gold, or receive loans for jewelry. To sell watches Boca Raton folks have looked for the chance to rid themselves of unwanted pre-owned watches. They have chosen to pawn Rolex watches to take advantage of our great prices for pre-owned watches. The wonderful patrons of Boca Raton sell jewelry of the luxury nature quite often, so a great selection is comprehensive and incredibly beautiful to say the least.

Rick Harrison – Buy Gold Or Field Work?

Pawn Stars

Pawn Stars takes Rick Harrison out into the field more, making the show more interesting by not spending the majority of the time in the shop.

Watching a pawn shop show has just so long to be a series. This holds true for any cable or network series; the lifespan is finite. Making the material interesting enough to draw a large viewing audience is something that producers probably lose sleep over at some point.

Even so, the current task at hand will involve understanding what the viewing public want to see. Are they interested in drama, action, mysteries, comedy, and so on? The answer is what will drive the motivation to create something bold enough and cutting-edge to hit those elusive top numbers.

An example here is the Pawn Stars series on the History Channel, their content cannot be about clients constantly coming in to pawn gold, pawn jewelry, sell a watch, etc. No, they have to really beef up the antics or drama; make it interesting for the viewership. Industry trends have been for many, many years to include some form of conflict with humor and at least one person being clueless about most everything.

It appears that the executives over Pawn Stars is seeing the need to get the show out of the famous pawn shop and into the field more. This means that, to some extent, the items being sold to the shop will be bigger, stranger, and more challenging to make a profit from after committing to a purchase. All of this can really create a whole new appeal for those used to seeing words flying, pranks being played on Chumlee, or hearing the boss (Dad) make off-handed remarks ensuring that everyone remembers who is boss.

I say if they find that appeal factor to draw in larger numbers and a different demographic, absolutely fantastic! Why, you may ask? This is what creativity in reality shows is all about, connecting with those who pay the bills and look for entertaining television. Okay, Pawn Stars, go for it and all the best!

Dig Deep – Dig Often – Dig For Gold

Dig deep, dig often, and dig for gold. This little phrase speaks volumes when talking about pawn shops. The variance in what the pawn brokering industry will be glad to take off of your hands runs wide and deep; wide in the sense of a spectrum of items, and deep refers to just how much you want to pawn.

SACRAMENTO, CA - AUGUST 28:   Bill Cummings of...

The industry has been around for a very long time and has progressively done extremely well, especially in the past several years. Reason for a tremendous growth that most notably started about four years ago range from the rich off-loading discretionary luxury items to the less fortunate simply needing cash. Some of the most successful pawn shops are located in the more well-off locations around the country. Whether it is in some prominent locale in California or at some Boca Raton pawn shop, there is money out there to spend when the deals are too great to ignore.

What has transpired in these past few years is a market literally saturated by those who just had would sell jewelry, boats, cars, or pawn gold in any form. This unloading has created a very lucrative pre-owned market that those with discretionary cash can have a field day with when it comes to shopping for bargains. Deals on a Rolex, Cartier, or on some really elegant jewelry are almost unbelievable.

On the other hand, there are those who really do not have much to spend, but find the opportunity too great to pass up on some power tools, electronics, and outdoor or sporting goods. This inventory is a result of those who elected to dig deep, dig often, and dig for that unwanted gold.

Cajun Pawn Stars Could Be New Hit

Now, there is a point at which something original does not need a sequal or spin-off. Case in point, the hit reality show, Pawn Stars, is indeed a hit. The amount of attention Corey, Chumlee, and the crew receive has grown substantially since its debut. Being in its fourth season, there appears to be more of the same and less of Corey; he lost 115 pounds. At any rate, the whole notion that another pawn reality TV show is necessary or will be popular is a stretch at best. Move the concept to a part of the country where community spirit about being Cajun is strong and proud, then kick it a few times in the teeth and you get the Cajun Pawn Stars.

I say “…kick it in the teeth…” because the folks have apparently not entirely welcomed this show to their neighborhood, and yet, they are going to get this nation-wide coverage anyway, like it or not. Some comments on the Internet are not even close to being favorable. It makes you wonder what the producers, creators, and so on, were thinking and who they did not bother to speak with to get a feel for the cultural response to their idea. Of course, all of this is opinion that opposes the new series.

On a lighter side, the show is promoting a little twist to shake up the usual pawning aspect of the show. For example, instead of seeing a lot of people sell gold, jewelry, or their fancy watches, you are likely to see a bovine beast traipse across the floor or a donkey grace the television set. Yes, this will be entertaining to some. Let’s agree to give this series a chance and see just how much it makes you laugh and smile. Who knows? It could be a huge hit and become a pleasant surprise.

Is My Rolex a Fake?

Counterfeit Rolex watches siezed by the US CBP

Fake Rolex Watches

It’s Friday afternoon and you have dropped by the local hangout with some friends from work. On the way there, you were approached by someone who claimed to have genuine Rolex watches for a huge discount. Already you are suspicious, but you decide to indulge the poor soul who you think is just trying to make a living. As he unfolds the sapphire colored velveteen material, giving the illusion of royalty being the previous owner, you see these impressive looking watches. The problem now is trying to figure out if the  merchandise before you is actually real or fake.

This little scenario is one that has been touted over the years many times. Whether it is seen in the movies or real life, it is an experience some have had. But, let’s put this into perspective and consider that the opportunity for you make a legitimate purchase from a dealer presents itself. For anyone who has desired the feel and look of a Rolex on their wrist, the compulsion to make that purchase can be intoxicating. To the buyer, beware. There are some considerations that become essential before going down that engrossing road of a Rolex purchase. To protect the initial investment of such an endeavor, a certain amount of knowledge is valuable, indeed, incredibly valuable.

If the luxury of locating an expert on Rolex watches is available, take full advantage of getting his or her advice on any watch you are considering. In fact, it is safe to say that most “legitimate” Rolex dealers will have at least one person on staff who can divulge all of the details of the watch, and how they are significant in being able to identify an authentic Rolex. By far, this is the best advice, suggestion, reminder, etc. anyone can provide.

Take Care of that Rolex!

Spending any time at all researching and deciding on whether to invest in a Rolex or not is extremely wise. With such an investment comes the need for understanding how it retains and increases its value over time. This not only establishes a baseline from which you can monitor the growth of your valuable investment, but it provides necessary information for developing a timeline of when you want to receive the dividends for your patience and wise choices.

Part of the care a Rolex watch needs actually has to do with using it. Wearing the watch is part of its design. The movement of your wrist works as a motion that winds the watch, thereby keeping it in working order. Some may choose to wear the luxury watch on rare occasions to avoid lack of motion and any kind of routine for seeing that it stays wound up. Furthermore, taking into consideration the purpose of purchasing the Rolex, extra care may be required to see that no scratches or other damage occurs to devalue the investment.

However, not using the watch at all would require a disciplined routine that keeps the watch working and not just sitting for long periods of time with no movement of the mechanisms inside. In fact, by allowing the watch to stop and not run for periods of time will damage the watch via stagnant gears. One suggestion is to identify a Rolex expert and discuss with them a recommended care and maintenance plan for protecting the watch from any kind of unintentional damage or misuse. Being knowledgeable about the Rolex can only help to ensure its care and longevity for the current owner and someone who will invest at some future time.

A Rolex watch is durable, luxurious, and designed for use in elegant and active environments. Frankly, it is entirely up to the owner as to what he or she plans to do as a strategy for protecting their watch investment. Above all else, having a long-term plan in place on how the watch will be used, if it is to be used at all, and what they expect for a fair return is indicative of a very smart and conscientious investor. Someone like this is destined for a wonderful and exciting retirement.

Pawn Stars How to Spot a Fake Rolex: Boca Raton Pawn

Pawn Stars Boca Raton Pawn

Left: Real, Right: Fake

Pawn Stars is one of the most popular TV shows today.  It is about a pawn shop and its staff located in Las Vegas.  The owner is a middle aged man who works with his father (the old man) and his son.  The show gives great insight into how a pawn shop runs and how people make deals.  The only problem with the show is most of the items getting pawned on TV have something to do with history because it is shown on the History Channel.  You never see anyone coming in trying to pawn a Rolex watch.

I work in the pawn industry in a local pawn shop as well and we get preowned luxury watches like Rolex, Cartier, and Breitling every day.  The hardest thing a pawn shop has to do is decide whether the watch is authentic or a fake.  Rick, the owner on Pawn Stars, shows us how to do so in this video on YouTube.

Rick definitely has some good tips but I have a few problems with his analysis.  He says that every Rolex is made perfectly and if there are any defects at all then it is automatically fake.  This is not always true.  A lot of people who buy Rolex watches change the dials or bezels.  They use aftermarket parts that may not be made as well as real Rolex parts.  When this happens it may seem like the watch is not perfect.  In order to decide whether it is a real Rolex, look at the movement.  Only a tenured expert, representative of the watch company in question, or watchmaker can confirm whether the watch is authentic or not based on the movement.

His advice on the magnification, however, is dead on.  Most fakes do not use a 2.5x magnifying glass.  It is easy to see when a fake is placed next to a real Rolex that the magnification is significantly different.  Also, the model and serial number should be between the two lugs.  If there is no model or serial number or they are engraved in a strange direction you can assume the watch is fake.

Getting fooled by a fake Rolex can be extremely costly.  For example a new Rolex Submariner costs over $7,000 while a fake Rolex Submariner costs between $10-$200.  Dishing out that kind of cash to find out the watch you bought is fake is something that no pawn broker ever wants to experience.
