Ep 7. Bossy Pants

In season 6 episode 7 of Pawn Stars, titled Bossy Pants, the series continues to follow the daily business operations of the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada. The episode opens with three generations of the Harrison family, including Rick, his father Richard (aka The Old Man), and his son Corey, all working together in the shop.

The first item brought into the shop is a 1797 Spanish military cutlass. The seller's grandfather served in the Spanish-American War and brought the cutlass back as a souvenir. The seller hopes to get $1,000 for the item but Rick is hesitant to give such a high offer, given that the blade has been sharpened and the handle is not in its original condition. After some negotiation, they agree on a price much lower than the original asking price.

Next up is a set of vintage Disney character marionettes, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck. The seller inherited them from his grandfather, who worked at Disney studios in the 1960s. The seller hopes to get $2,000 for the set, but Rick has reservations about the authenticity of the items. He calls in an expert to determine the value and origins of the marionettes.

In another segment, a seller brings in a rare case of Civil War medical instruments. The instruments were used by Confederate soldiers during the war, and the seller is looking to get $7,000 for the lot. Rick is impressed with the unique items and calls in a historian to authenticate the instruments and provide some historical context. The historian provides some fascinating insight into the challenges and advancements of Civil War medicine, and Rick ultimately decides to make an offer on the items.

The episode also features a set of World War I propaganda posters, advertising the sale of war bonds. The posters are in excellent condition and the seller is looking for $10,000 for the lot. Rick calls in an expert appraiser who values the posters at a much higher price, and Rick is excited about the prospect of adding them to his collection.

Throughout the episode, the Harrisons encounter several colorful characters, including a man dressed in a zoot suit, looking to sell a vintage saxophone; a seller with a tattoo of his grandfather's face, hoping to make a deal on his grandfather's jewelry; and an eccentric collector offering a wide range of odd and unique items.

In addition to the usual buying and selling, the episode also shows the Harrison family engaging in some friendly competition. The Old Man challenges Rick and Corey to a game of poker to see who can win the most money. The family members engage in some playful trash talk before sitting down to play, and tensions run high as the game gets underway.

Overall, season 6 episode 7 of Pawn Stars provides viewers with a fascinating look into the world of vintage and collectible items, as well as the unique challenges of appraising and negotiating their worth. The Harrison family continues to entertain and engage viewers with their expert knowledge, witty banter, and occasional competitive spirit.
