Ep 2. Grumpy Old Man

In Pawn Stars season 8 episode 2 titled "Grumpy Old Man," the crew at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop encounters a few eccentric and ornery customers. First, a seller brings in a vintage coin-operated scale that he claims to have been used by Abraham Lincoln and has a handwritten note verifying its authenticity. However, the authenticity of the note and the scale itself are called into question, leading to a tense negotiation between the seller and the pawnbrokers.

Next, a man comes in looking to sell a vintage bicycle that he believes is a rare racing model from the early 1900s. The bike is in rough shape, and the pawnbrokers question its authenticity and value. They call in an expert to help assess the bike and determine if it is worth the asking price.

Finally, a woman brings in some antique dolls that she inherited from her grandmother. While the dolls are in good condition, their creepy appearance results in some hilarious reactions from the pawnbrokers, particularly Chumlee. As they attempt to appraise the dolls, they delve into the history of the toy industry and its shift towards less unsettling, more realistic dolls.

Throughout the episode, the pawnbrokers also deal with the challenges of running a business and the difficulties of working with difficult and stubborn customers. The tension between the buyers and sellers, as well as their interactions with each other, add an entertaining element to the show.
