How Do I Contact the Experts on "Pawn Stars?"

Are the experts who come on “Pawn Stars” paid by the pawn shop and/or the TV show or do they just do it for the free television publicity? If they just do it for the publicity, is there a way I can contact them directly? Do they charge for appraisals? I have a couple items I don’t want to sell right now but I want to make sure they’re not fake and how much they’re worth.

First things first. The experts on "Pawn Stars" are not paid.

According to DeadlineHollywood.com, “They work without a script and they’re not paid a dime, but being on the show has boosted their businesses and made them brand names in the appraiser field."

One of the most frequent experts has been Mark Hall Patton, administrator of the Clark County Museum in Henderson. Affectionately known as the "Beard of Knowledge” and “the world’s only rock-star museum curator," Hall-Patton has become such a celebrity that the Clark County Museum’s attendance has nearly tripled since he first started appearing on the show in 2009. “That’s why I do it — to showcase the museum and get people out here,” he told an interviewer.

Similarly, other experts appear on the show to benefit their businesses, which have boomed since the show first started airing; they also claim that they’re recognized all over the world. A couple of the experts have gone off to star in their own spinoff shows.

According to a recent World Famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop newsletter, anyone who has an item of interest for "Pawn Stars" can feel free to contact them. The email address is: [email protected]. In the subject line, let them know you have an item that they may want to check out for the show. Even if you don't intend on selling it right away, they might make you an offer you can't refuse.

I’m in the doghouse now

Thanks! Mrs AC asked what I was looking at on the internet and I answered “Las Vegas pawn stars”.  

I think I’m sleeping on the sofa tonight!

Show Cost

Are Vegas shows going to reduce prices back to pre pandemic soon ?

They're very useful

Pawn shop types are good for appraising the worth of your goods. 1. Show it to them. 2. Ask them what they'd be willing to pay for it. 3. Multiply by twenty; that's what it's actually worth.
