What is the purpose of all the bizarre pawn shows recently? I guess there is Pawn Stars, where guys obsess over junk piles looking for the next big thing; Hollywood Treasures, looking for the priceless memorabilia; and we found a new one last night, Oddities, a pawn shop dealing in the macabre.
It is always random people who have random things. I guess people watch it to see what odd person is going to bring in the odd thing. Maybe people like to see the haggling? People pay a lot of money for what looks like junk. I guess it is all about the eye of the beholder. The wallet may have something to do with it too.
I guess it has something to do with American Roadshow, where people brought in things they thought are worth money. Everyone wants to find that item which will increase their wealth. A few people get surprised pleasantly, but most walk away disappointed.
It is grandma's toe clippings! They are worth money...to grandpa.
