An old episode shows Rick Harrison buying a sub marine.
The woman who brings it in puts a $25,000 price tag on it as is.
She settles quickly for $3,000.
Ok Dicky boy, what's wrong with this picture?
Oh but wait, an expert says the sub sold originally for $150,000.
Cost to restore would be around $100,000.
Value as is, $10,000 and old Dicky boy is higher than a kite.

Just one problem.
It seems that the current owner had seen the original airing of the episode
and immediately called the Las Vegas Police.
Dicky had to wind up returning the sub to the owner.

So how come the History channel won't discuss the facts behind the scene
and continue showing the thievery?

When someone comes in with a vehicle the first question should be, "What
paperwork do you have that shows you legally own it?"
"Don't have any."
"Bye, have a nice day. When you have the paperwork, come see me."
I have as yet to see any one of them ask for proof of ownership on any
vehicle.

How about starting again little dicky. Are you saying the submarine
was stolen, and the woman who sold it to Rick was not authorized to do so?

Particularly a submarine.

You do know the show is edited don't you?

It's kind of like Storage Wars. The producers may put something of value
in a storage locker, when there was nothing of any value in the storage
locker.

Well a submarine doesn't require a vehicle registration from the DMV. BTW
everything the pawn stars buy that is shown on the show is paid for by the
production company and the pawners are paid for their appearance.

"Richard the Retarded" thinks TV shows are real life.

And then s/he takes h/er/is medications with h/er/is
nappy-time pudding-cup beddie-bye treat.

HTH.

I doubt they do that. I do like Storage Wars. I think Pawn Stars is a bit
crooked and a lot boring. But you can't pry me away from the television set
when Antiques Roadshow comes on.

bullshit.
all the sellers do is sign a release form.
all expenses are that of the pawn shop and the shop owns the items
purchased outright.
the sellers may or may not get paid.

The DIY network was looking to show the building of geodesic home from
start to finish. Who ever got the deal, would not be paid a dime.

Maybe not. But the woman did not legally own the vehicle, so the sale was
not legal.

Yes you should.
Mummies may have been found with hair on them, but not standard human
skeletons. It depends on the conditions under which they were buried.

FYI if you think these are real in the first place you are sadly mistaken. I’m sure there are some truths. But all of the shows are about entertainment. There was an episode on pawn stars about someone brought in a confederate soldier belt buckle with a bullet in it. That same belt buckle was on American pickers. Don’t remember which aired first or if it was determined to be real or fake.

The first rule of "Reality" shows is there's rarely anything real about them.

Ever notice that these "experts" always seem to be available at their beck and call at a moment's notice?
