Ep 2. The Shocker

In Hardcore Pawn season 6 episode 2, titled "The Shocker," the staff of American Jewelry and Loan tackle a variety of unusual customers and bizarre items. Les Gold, the owner of the pawn shop, must deal with a tense situation as a customer becomes angry about the price he's offered for his items. Meanwhile, pawnbroker Ashley Broad tries to negotiate with a man who brings in an unusual shock device that he claims was used in BDSM practices.

Throughout the episode, the pawn shop staff faced a variety of challenges and confrontations. Les Gold and his team had to deal with a man who brought in valuable items but was unwilling to sell them at a reasonable price. At the same time, an individual tries to pawn a jacket that is covered in blood, leading to alarm and confusion among the staff. The episode also features an odd interaction between a customer and Seth Gold, Les’s son, who tries to convince the customer to sell him his prosthetic leg.

The most memorable moment of the episode comes when a man comes into the shop seeking to pawn an unusual item: a shock device that he claims was used in BDSM activities. Ashley, one of the pawnbrokers, is tasked with appraising the item, but she’s unsure what value to assign to it. The device is covered in spikes and wires, and the customer cheerfully explains how it was used to shock people during BDSM roleplaying.

Ashley is mortified by the device and struggles to come up with a price that is fair for everyone involved. The customer insists that the item is worth a significant amount of money, but Ashley can't bring herself to touch it. Instead, she tries to get another staff member to help her appraise the item, but no one else wants to come near it.

In the end, the encounter with the customer and his shock device leads to some hilariously uncomfortable moments. Ashley ends up refusing to buy the item, much to the customer's disappointment. The staff and customers at American Jewelry and Loan are left to wonder about the strangeness of the items that come through the shop, and Ashley is left to deal with the terrifying but memorable experience of handling a BDSM shock device.

Overall, Hardcore Pawn season 6 episode 2 provides viewers with a glimpse into the often unpredictable and bizarre world of pawn shops. The episode features a variety of unusual scenarios, from dealing with customers who refuse to sell at a reasonable price to confronting the unique challenges of appraising unusual items. Despite the often unpredictable nature of pawn shop work, the staff at American Jewelry and Loan remain professional and composed, even in the face of unexpected and uncomfortable encounters like the one with the man and his shock device.
