John,
I think that it was mostly meant for the entertainment value and I do enjoy seeing some of the things brought in. But how many big Pawn Shop owners know every customer by name when they walk in. Some they don't know but the majority they do and I have seen a couple of really interesting old guns and clocks. I really like the one where the guy brought in the Ship's Chronometer and didn't know what it was. They bought it for almost nothing because it didn't work and then had a clock expert look at it and he just removed the small blocking strips that were installed to keep it from bouncing around when being moved and it worked like new.
