I loved this series that I stumbled across when surfing on youtube. It's like a cooler version of the antiques roadshow. It's amazing how many people try to get one over on the guys by passing off fakes. They buy anything planes, canons, watches, swords, you name it. If they can buy it and turn a profit they are interested. Some real characters ! Very addictive viewing

loved this series, the harrisons come across as really nice people, you think of pawn shops as they are portrayed in film, dirty gromy places run buy dirty old men with no teeth, not so, the harrisons store is a bright airy place full of fascinating items, the harrisons show us the most interesting items brought in by customers wanting to sell or pawn, from civil war relics to pop culture anything and everything comes through the harrisons door, they get experts in to explain the item (if they can't explain themselves) them negitiate a price and end either by shaking on the deal or not. This is a relly clever way to give a history lesson, you are highly entertained by this peek into americana, it's fascinating and i highly reccommend
