Needless to say they were way off on price.

I think the key to Pawn Stars is it's a business that happens to be on tv (staged yes) rather than a tv show that runs a business. Their bottom line on goods & pricing supercedes anything that might work for better ratings- hell, their ratings are partially driven by the stuff they just look at. That's rather insane.
The gattling gun they went to look at was completely sweet and ya they were way off in price but I cant hit the seller on it. He knew what he had and he didnt want to budge, someone may pay his price someday.

I also really enjoyed the episode where Corey took in the green monster head made of plastic that belonged to the monster from Stretch Armstrong. His father and Grandfather were ripping into him until they had the toy guy come in and inform them that it was the holy grail of all toys, even without the body.

Classic

The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things. The swineherd cannot already be wed to the princess when he embarks on his adventures, nor can the boy knock on the witch's door when she is already away on vacation. The wicked uncle cannot be found out and foiled before he does something wicked. Things must happen when it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever.

The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
