Ep 2. High Roller

In season 10 episode 2 of Hardcore Pawn, entitled "High Roller," we once again follow the staff of American Jewelry and Loan, a pawn shop located in Detroit. This episode sees the team dealing with a variety of interesting customers and unique items.

One of the main storylines of the episode revolves around a man named Ronnie, who brings in a large collection of high-end watches to pawn. However, he is not interested in getting cash for them - instead, he is hoping to secure a loan against the watches so he can continue gambling in a nearby casino. The staff at American Jewelry and Loan are hesitant to give him the loan, as they know that he has a history of gambling addiction and may not be able to repay the debt.

In addition to Ronnie, we also see a woman named LaTisha who brings in a set of expensive designer purses to pawn. She seems to be in a hurry to get the money, but her lack of knowledge about the brands she is trying to sell makes the staff suspicious. Later in the episode, a man named Phil brings in a welder that he hopes to sell. However, the item is very bulky and difficult to move, and the negotiations between him and the staff become heated as they try to come to a mutually agreeable price.

Throughout the episode, we also see the interpersonal dynamics between the staff members at American Jewelry and Loan. Ashley, one of the employees, is frustrated with her coworkers after she is left to deal with a difficult customer on her own. Later, Seth and Les, the father-and-son owners of the shop, butt heads over how to handle a high-stakes negotiation.

Overall, the episode "High Roller" offers a glimpse into the fast-paced and often unpredictable world of pawn brokering. Viewers will be entertained by the colorful cast of characters who come through the doors of American Jewelry and Loan, and may even learn a thing or two about the value of items they have lying around their own homes.
