Where is this inviting place? Not a Curio shop or an auction house, it is a pawn shop in Pawn Stars: the Game.

Pawn Stars: the Game is a Facebook game that is made by A&E Television Networks on the basis of adaptation from Pawn Stars, the TV series in History Channel launched since 2009. Just like the family running a pawn shop in Las Vegas in the show, players in this game will be able to open their own pawn shops, set foot in this business and try to make a profit out of buying-and-selling.

Similar to the television series and true-to-life scenarios, customers in groups will come into pawn shops with items to sell. More often than not, these items will carry with them series of information, such as origin, prestige, quantity on hand, degree of rarity, and date of creation and so on. It is inevitable that there will be bargains between buyers and sellers. Customers will certainly have particular prices of their items in mind, while pawn shop-owners will also offer profitable prices based on their evaluation of items. As pawn shop-owners, players can pass on items directly, or haggle with customers to meet each other half way. Besides, players can also get items with lower price if they can make customers happy by offering candies, for instance. Once purchased, players can either stock items in inventory, or re-sell it with higher price for profit.

Besides, before the final confirmation of prices, players may sometimes consider to consult an expert about the real worth of a certain item. It will cost some money but it’s necessary, since some items may turn out to be fake or just reproductions which are indiscernible for amateurs. In addition, players may interact with each other and make friends, which will all the more help develop their pawn empires.
