I went there yesterday specifically to see the Shelby Cobra. THEY SOLD IT! To some guy in the U.K. I did see the barber chair they had redone. None of the guys from the show were there. They are all off on Sunday. They had at least 10 employees working there and I counted 48 customers in there all at once. The place is very small. I almost felt like I had to get out of there because there were way too many people. 99% of what they have is jewelry. Lots of it. My wife picked out a couple things and I got what was tagged as $210 worth for $140. It's cool to be able to haggle with them on the price. Some guy came in with a painting saying it was an original Picasso wanting to sell it but the employee said only "the old man" or Rick can make offers on paintings and they are only there during the week. They had some nice firearms like old Winchester rifles but they were not for sale. I did see an old Colt Navy revolver and the price tag was $6,000. Overall I didn't see anything I would really want. I'm not that into jewelry but my wife could have stayed there for hours looking at all of it. I do have a couple things that might be of interest to them. I'm thinking of going back during the week and finding out how to go about getting on one of the shows selling them something. We'll see.

that's really awesome, I love that show, and I usually watch all the new episodes. Rick is a money-maker if he offers you something you know it's only 20% of what its worth, HAHA i don't blame him, thats why he is rich!

I wouldn't mind working there, but I think Chumlee would either get on my nerves or be hilarious, or both lol

I was a little disappointed when I left. On the show they make it sound like they got all this cool stuff in there and before I got there I was worried that I'd want to spend a ton of money. But it's mainly jewelry. The only 2 things I saw in there from the show were the barber chair and an airplane propeller that was supposedly from Charles Lindbergh hanging on the wall. They had lots of old coins and an area with a lot of junk like old VCR's, tons of DVD's, old cameras, game systems. A Wii with no box for sale for $150. They had several HD monitors and some art work that I couldn't make out who did it or the price. My wife want to do all her jewelry shopping at pawn shops from now on.
 
that's awesome, I love that show. It looks like they've got a lot of stuff there though when you watch the show, swords, knives, clocks... but it all seems really expensive. Kind of surprised to hear it wasn't filled with stuff like you said. Still would like to check it out, but that's a far trip just to check out a pawn shop. Cool to hear from someone that actually went there.

Actually, they did have some decorative stuff sitting on shelves. Clocks and statues and stuff but nothing that really drew my attention. I did see the stuff on shelves you see in the background on the show when they are looking at something to buy. There were just so many people in there it was hard to get around. They have a 20 or so foot curved display case going right down the middle of the store with other display cases on each side. People were jammed in there looking at stuff on both side, it was crazy. I guess the prices are high because they know people are gonna talk them down. I saved $70 off the price tags but who knows if I got a deal or not.
