day weird
Pawn Stars: All The Presidents’ PawnAntiques Roadshow: Election CollectionI guess I should be glad for the election night counter-programming, but man, these are pretty desperate. Also, I can’t stand Pawn Stars. A summary of an average segment on the show:
Seller: I’ve got this unique item that I’ve been holding onto, but I really need money to pay my [rent/medical bills/car repair/college debt/other emergency expense]. I had it appraised and I think I’m asking is fair.”Pawn Shop Guy: OK, but how about I offer you a lot less?Seller: OK, how about I adjust my initial offer down a bit?PSG: I’ll give you a little more that *my* initial offer, but still significantly less than you are asking.Seller: Well, I’m desperate, so yeah, I’ll take your offer.PSG: Then we got a deal! (shakes hand)Later:PSG: OK, let’s do some minor repairs and make a shitload of money on this!
Wow, so much to ignore!
