Beverly Hills Pawn is an American reality television show that premiered on the Reelz channel on June 6, 2013. The show revolves around the everyday activities of the Dina Collection, a high-end pawnshop located in Beverly Hills, California.

The first season of Beverly Hills Pawn includes 14 episodes, with each episode focusing on different rare and valuable items brought to the pawnshop. In the pilot episode titled "I Want to Buy an Island," viewers are introduced to the cast of the show, including the owner of the Dina Collection, Yossi Dina.

The episode opens with Yossi Dina discussing the concept of pawn shops and how they differ from retail stores. He emphasizes that pawn shops provide people with a safe and secure option to get quick cash, but at a higher interest rate. Dina highlights that the Dina Collection is different from traditional pawn shops because it deals with priceless and unique items, making it an exclusive boutique.

The first customer of the episode brings a rare and valuable cigar box to the pawnshop, hoping to get a reasonable price for it. The box belonged to the customer's grandfather, who had received it in Cuba in the early 1900s. Yossi Dina examines the cigar box and its intricate carvings, revealing that it is a rare collector's item that can fetch a high price at auctions. After negotiating with the customer, Yossi agrees to buy the cigar box for a significant amount, earning the first profit of the show.

The next segment of the episode introduces a father-son duo who wants to sell a miniature version of an actual ship. The miniature was made using the same materials and techniques used to create the original ship and is a handcrafted masterpiece. The father explains that the miniature has been in his family for generations, and he wants to get a good amount of money for it to pay for his son's college tuition.

Yossi Dina examines the miniature, impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail. He makes an offer, but the father wants to think about it before making a decision. In the meantime, Yossi continues with his daily activities, meeting with potential clients, and examining various unique items.

Another customer brings an actual metal detector to the Dina Collection, hoping to trade it for another unique item. Yossi Dina and his team examine the metal detector and confirm that it works perfectly. After learning that the customer wants to buy an island, Yossi offers to trade the metal detector for a small island in Panama. The customer seems happy with the offer and agrees to complete the trade.

Later in the episode, Yossi and his team have an unexpected surprise when former heavyweight boxing champion, Evander Holyfield, pays a visit to the Dina Collection. Holyfield is looking to sell some of his memorabilia, including his robe from the famous "Bite Fight" with Mike Tyson. Yossi is thrilled to meet Holyfield and examines the robe, joking that he can still smell Tyson's teeth marks on it. After some negotiations, Yossi and Holyfield come to an agreement on the price for the robe and Holyfield walks away with a sizable amount of cash.

As the episode comes to an end, Yossi reflects on the diverse and unique items that come to the Dina Collection. He states that every item has a story, and that is what makes his job exciting and entertaining. The pilot episode of Beverly Hills Pawn is a fascinating insight into the world of high-end pawn shops and the exclusive clientele that frequent them.
