Hardcore Pawn Season 2 Episode 7 Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold is the seventh episode of Hardcore Pawn's second season, a reality TV series that follows the daily activities of a pawn shop in Detroit. The episode begins with a couple, Paul and Kristi, bringing in a unique item to the shop. The couple hopes to sell a "gold" nugget that they found on their property, which they believe is worth thousands of dollars. Ashley, the daughter of the shop's owner Les Gold, quickly inspects the item and determines that it is not, in fact, real gold.

The couple is disappointed but willing to take whatever offer the shop will give them for the nugget. However, Seth, Ashley's brother, decides to try and make a deal with the couple for the nugget. He offers them a significantly lower amount than what they were originally asking for, but the couple refuses the offer and decides to leave the shop. As Paul and Kristi are walking out, they tell Seth that they'll take their chances with another pawn shop in the area.

As the day goes on, the shop becomes increasingly busy with various customers coming in to either pawn items or sell them. A man named John brings in a unique item that he wants to pawn. The item is a samurai sword, and John demands that it be stored in a specific way because of its significance to him. However, Les is hesitant to accept the item, as he's concerned about the potential risk of storing it in the shop. Despite Les' reservations, the shop eventually accepts the sword and agrees to store it according to John's requirements.

Later in the episode, a man named Earl comes into the shop with a question for Les. Earl explains that he is in love with a woman who he believes is not interested in him and wants advice on how to proceed. Les gives Earl some advice, which Earl seems to appreciate. The conversation is a rare glimpse into the personal side of Les, who is usually portrayed as strictly business on the show.

As the day progresses, tensions rise between Ashley and Seth as they bicker over various issues, including how best to handle certain customers. Their arguments come to a head when a woman brings in a diamond ring to sell, and both Ashley and Seth are vying to be the one to handle the transaction. In the end, Les steps in and takes control of the situation, much to the relief of both Ashley and Seth.

Towards the end of the episode, the shop receives a phone call from Paul and Kristi, the couple who brought in the "gold" nugget earlier in the day. They explain that they've gotten a second opinion on the nugget and have been told that it is, in fact, real gold. They express their frustration with the shop for not examining the item more thoroughly and for offering them such a low amount. The call ends on a sour note, with Seth and Ashley expressing frustration with the couple's attitude towards the shop.

Overall, Fool's Gold is an entertaining episode of Hardcore Pawn that showcases the various types of customers and interactions that the shop encounters on a daily basis. The episode is particularly interesting for its glimpses into the personal lives and opinions of the show's primary cast members, including Les, Ashley, and Seth. While there are no major plot developments in this particular episode, viewers are likely to be entertained by the various antics and conversations that take place within the shop.
