I don't mind Chum. There was one episode where someone brought in a pair of Michael Jordon shoes and Chumlee was the one who provided all the info on them, and how to spot which release they were. Cory looked kinda stunned. Chumlee does in fact know stuff!

I turn on Pawn Stars and American Pickers and the like when they are on, by my favourite is Oddities.

I work in the Pawn industry (EZPAWN), everyone asks us if we are like them and we AREN'T, we don't take ancient/historical items (there's an antique pawn shop a couple buildings down), we don't take handguns since 1999 after an incident.

We take in newer/technological items ans well as mostly GOLD; we definitely take in gold jewelry of any kind as long as it's real gold (not plated).

As the obvious one is that they are a family business, EZPAWN is a chained business by EZCORP. During training they did tell us about those shows. About 60-80% of the items in the store are props as well as if you got something unique to bring to the store to be on TV you have to get a reservation months in advance in order to be on TV about the item.

And we watch Hardcore Pawn to teach us what NOT to do for customer service.
