Ep 12. Bare Bones

Rick Harrison and his family-run pawn shop are back for another exciting episode of Pawn Stars season 3. In episode 12, entitled "Bare Bones," Rick and his team face some fascinating items with colorful histories.

The episode starts with a man carrying a human skeleton who is hoping to sell. Although Rick initially has reservations, he takes a chance and brings in an expert to check if the bones are real or not. If they are, they could be worth up to $10,000, but there is a catch.

Next up, a customer named John brings in a genuine giant Mammoth tusk, which he acquired from an auction house. Rick and his team are excited about the tusk but, as always, they need to make sure it is authentic and to do so, consult with an expert for an appraisal.

Another customer brings in an antique diving suit used by a famous diver in the 1920s. The suit is in excellent condition, but according to the seller, it has been cursed! The diving set itself is of interest to the team. Still, the story behind the curse will create a fascinating plot for viewers to follow.

Another seller comes in with a highly sought-after collection of military medals. Among the collection are a set of Purple Hearts, bronze stars, and silver stars. However, Rick is in disbelief when he makes a shocking discovery.

A 1906 Edison phonograph also makes an appearance in this episode. The seller hopes to get $20,000 for it, but with its age, the team is skeptical. They bring in an expert to find out if it is worth the asking price.

One unique item that catches Rick's attention is a set of mounted longhorns. The pair of horns are huge and catch the eye of a buyer from Texas. The team debates with the buyer about the price of the horns.

Finally, a seller comes in with a vintage Chiclets vending machine. The team is intrigued, but the seller has a high asking price. Rick hires expert Ray Tabano to appraise the machine and find out the value of the sought-after little gum packages.

In this episode of Pawn Stars, viewers will be thrilled to see Rick and his team negotiate with sellers, seek help from experts, and learn the history behind some unique and rare items. The show continues its legacy of educating viewers about the lesser-known stories behind these valuable items as well as providing entertainment.
