Chumlee Screws Over The WORST CUSTOMER, Then This Happens (Pawn Stars)

[@danr5239]

Let’s be clear. Nobody gets “screwed” On this show. They all enter into an agreement. If the owner of the property is willing to take less than what it’s worth then that’s on them.

[@robpayne1956]

Correct Market value is determined by two people agreeing on a price the seller and the buyer. The word no is available at any time. And as a business you have to look at the purchase as a long term investment. It's not like they can just pick up the phone and call a buyer. To keep something for that long takes space and every square inch of space has a cost associated with it as does time.

[@Nookiee89]

This shop owners know all the tricks, there was this time I went to sell my Nintendo's consoles and they wanted to pay me 10 dollars for each console, and I went all through the subway with that consoles. I just leave them there, didn't want to get back with all of that

[@davefaust11]

Right.. they are pretty honest and sometimes the experts says it’s worth way more then what the customer originally asked for.

[@michaelmoore2052]

You are never going to get what its worth in the setting of a pawn shop. Its much closer in the range of 50-60% depending on what it is and the actual value of the item. The higher the value and rarity of the item, the more likely a pawn broker is going to pay a higher percentage of the total value. I've seen Rick shell out about 75% value for some really high priced items.

[@Shiny_J]

Facts 💯

[@cameronsimpson2173]

All of these prices seemed super reasonable. At Guitar Center, we could offer, at most, 65% of what we would sell it for. The percentage of most of these seem like 80% or 85% of what the Pawn Stars sold it for. No one got screwed, lol.

The shop owner has his or her investment to cover to begin with, then there are the operating expenses, employee salaries, taxes, building upkeep, mortgage and loan payments, utilities, insurance, etc. At 25% profit is pretty slim. It is not unusual for business to legitimately charge what is know as "triple keystone", that is three times the cost of the item sold. This is particularly true in the jewelry industry. I know.

I would love to see the people that make these videos try run a business... Cos apparently not selling at cost is "ripping people off..."

[@ovulatinggrashopper4703]

im so confused right now... do you realize that both parties understand the situation here. the sellers know that they wont get full value, they are essentially selling it to someone to sell for them. Some people don't want to look for a collector to sell things to when they know they can sell it to a place that collectors would go to buy that.. nobody got screwed.

[@trentfairley]

Agreed. I collect comics and I can straight up tell you that knowledge and connections is worth a ton. I could give a random person a Hulk 181 and they will have no idea what to value it at, how to sell it or why it's (or even that it is) potentially worth thousands of dollars. Nor will they know the steps they need to take to maximise the value by having it cleaned, pressed and graded or how to advertise it to the right buyers. What is happening here (for the most part) is that people are selling it to someone for a good price and the shop does the hard work from there. It's not like the average person has the connections or $3000 freely available to properly restore katanas.

[@Silvercrypto-xk4zy]

75% of retail is more than most places will offer, nobody got ripped off and definitely not screwed

[@alexdelatorre7374]

No one got scammed in this video, the pawn shop would go out of business if they bought everything for the exact price it was bought for

[@blackie75]

Let's be clear here...a pawn shop doesn't pay $40k for an item that's going to sell for around that price. 30k is pretty damned fair if you're gonna sell something that way, considering they have to pay taxes on the profit as well.

As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point. A pawn shop or dealership will never give you the best price on anything you want to sell. They need to make a profit when they sell it. Quite understandable. A better price will be gotten if a person sells their item to a collector who is going to keep the item.
