I agree I was there in July, The shop looks huge on tv , but it is tiny.  The machines both looked like amateur resto jobs.  and 5500. for a 33 wow

They say the camera adds 10 feet (or is it 10 pounds).  tounge
Outrageous prices for sure - didn't someone say a while back that the shop in Caesars Palace had some crappy restos that they were selling for unreal amounts.

yeah i commented on that too.. I was out there 2 years ago and stopped in there, Cool looking store, easy to get sucked into, but unreal prices for machines that looked like my kid restored them.. I don't even think the machines where taken apart, just repainted, there was overspray on the old crusty origianal door gaskets, Handles, and coin door locking clasps where painted over, Insides where all spray bombed with silver paint. not even a nice hammertone job, just to recolor it and hide the rust.. Logos where hand painted , but again my 9 year has more artistic skill... not sure if they where ricks, or where they where done, but poor and expensive, like 9500 for this V81a!!!

         Here is a clip from the Pawn Stars series that I missed. I really wanted to see it because so many of my customers commented on what a beautiful job he did on that old Coke machine.  biggrin
        I know Rick didn't try and decieve anyone, but I wish the producers were a little more truthful.
        Hope the new show is more realistic.

Nor have I, but Ricks' web site  mentioned the move daye also has been changed to  10/25.  It  sounds that, since it is mentioned it will air  9:00 pm Eastern  mondays that it will rpelace American Pickers
at least for a bit.
