Who you gonna call? The Pawn Stars! The guys remember the 80's as they check out a replica of the proton pack from "Ghostbusters". Will they give this item a ghost of a chance? Then, a seller brings in an original work by the street artist Banksy. Can Chumlee convince the Old Man that street art is valuable? And later, Rick and Corey take their 1951 "Steve McQueen" Chevy to an auction. But when Corey sees a classic Plymouth Roadrunner, will he spend a king's ransom to buy his dream car?
Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison (or "The Old Man"), his son Rick Harrison (who opened the shop with his father in 1988), Rick's son Corey (who has worked there since childhood), and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
The series depicts the staff's interactions with customers, who bring in a variety of artifacts to sell or pawn and who are shown haggling over the price and discussing its historical background, with narration provided by the Harrisons and occasionally Chumlee. The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast.
Numerous local experts in a variety of areas also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned.
