I love the show. I think the selling of certain items at such low prices is a product of being in Las Vegas and the desire to give everything you own of value to the casinos.

When it first came out I thought "How ****ing stupid is this?" ROR actually talked me into watching it, and I don't think I've missed an episode since. Chum cracks me the **** up.

Best part of the show is Old Man's toothless bluster.
Worst part is Pops' incessant chuckling. Does he light up a fattie before EVERY show?

He does me also. He plays the perfect foil and I think he is much brighter than he lets on. I like the bald guy but the dad and his son could go away and the show would lose little~

The publicity that those businesses/appraisers get per appearance more than makes up for anything Rick Harrison could ever afford to pay.

Who knew that the world's foremost experts on seemingly every object in the known universe all live in Las Vegas and Rick has their phone numbers.

I liked the one guy who is an expert in 18th Century restraining devices. They failed to say he probably also runs the brothel west of town. |

To be fair, there isn't an INFINITE variety of things they review.
Lots of guns, lots of historical artifacts, some old weapons, a few motorcraft, then vintage machines in need of repair. And their historical artifact guy is an academician , and only offers authenticity, not appraisal.

I bet it's not as easy as you think to move that stuff. It's like a burglar needs a good fence. I'm sure the pawn shop boys need to know where to sell these things. I don't think anybody on ebay is willing to pay the shipping on those big signs they seem to like.

And they just have to call the kinds of restaurants that require flair.
