Yeah but not quite the same, he at least was trying to be in someone elses
shoes. These shows I'm talking about all seem to have some kind of artifical
boundry for drama, we only have 10 days to put it on the market, two weeks
left to the season, the auction/storage shows with their bidding strategy,
that one really stumps me. "I stole it from underneath him", no you didn't,
he just quit bidding on it.

I have to admit, Pawn Stars is kind of my favorite but they are starting to
go with extremes for drama as well. It's one thing for someone to bring in
something they thought was only worth a few bucks then find out its a rare
high priced item, or the other way around, but really, some guy trying to
sell a Lamborghini Gallardo for basically the current market price. Then the
shop offers him like 95% of his asking price.

Stuff like that is just to add some dazzle since it's pretty obvious unless
they can buy an item for half of current market value, with rare exception,
is the rule.

I dunno if it's fraud but the show itself is really stupid. Think like
buying a car from Craigslist, sight unseen, just having it towed to a garage
and seeing what you bought then for the first time.

I mean it's really supposed to be surprising a vacant house was used for a
meth lab, has mold in it or the heating and a/c system needs to be replaced?

Supposed if the two guys were supposed to have some kind of psyhic powers
that fail them, it would make more sense.
