zero personality + charisma


The US version works because Rick has charisma, the Old Man and Chumless add humour and Big Hass adds.... more weight

When they auditioned for this UK version, did they look for the most boring pawn brokers they could find?! None of them have any personality and the items are boring.

The US version works

Because Rick -mostly- gives fair (and often times MORE than fair) prices, for the stuff he buys (unlike the old man & Corey; & these guys!). As this show proves, there -probably- isn't another pawn shop in the world which will pay (such) great money (Cajun Pawn Stars) and just that fact alone is what keeps me interested...

Rick isn't cheating (desperate) people, who mostly (seem to really) need cash (since they're there, selling), out of their money; minus the traders, ofc. (& the few we've seen, who are there to cheat him, lolz)

.. How capable (of running a business) and confident (in the estimates; and knowledgeable, with the markets) you gotta be, in order to do that - is another thing that's pretty awesome about teh Pawn Stars (US). :)
