these people walk in and sell some relic for what seems like pennies on the dollar
like, the dude has something that's appraised at 5 grand and sells it for 500
what is the point of this show
why would anyone do that
Easy cash. You might know something is worth five grand, that doesn't mean you know someone willing to pay that five grand. A pawn shop takes away the bother of actually finding a customer, and gives you cash immediately.

Because drugs.
Honestly, I don't know, that show is awful. They scam the people coming in over and over, that's the show. And after a while you start to root for the guys in the store because the customers are just so fucking stupid.

And Busou Renkin, because the authors' editors forced him to write another fighting series after the success of Kenshin, so he passive-aggressively wrote one that completely takes the piss out of every aspect of the genre until they finally cancelled it, much to his satisfaction.

Are they told that it is worth 5 grand?
on the episodes I have seen usually yeah
like any time they bring in an outside person to appraise an item the customer also hears what they say.
and even when they dont bring in an appraiser the people who work there are usually very up front about what they think something is worth. they are also very up front about the fact they are in it to make a profit and are not going to pay anywhere near what someone could in theory get at auction.
Maybe you didn't see Naruto fighting him? In any case, yes.
What happened:
Naruto bargained with Pain and used his Super Empathy & Hope Powers to win over Pain so Pain revived everyone he killed with his Eye Powers.
I read all of these spoilers and I am so so so glad I am not still watching Naruto. Are you fucking kidding me?

I backed Star Citizen because I know that in two years I'll be buying the game anyway, so I may as well spend the money now and get alpha and beta access.
I will go to Pawn Stars to get all my stuff appraised for free and then I'm gonna say "Nah, that seems low, I won't sell it" and then I'll sell it at fair market value and make millions.

I avoided watching Twin Peaks for over ten years now. Why? Because someone spoiled the series for me. Except, apparently they didn't. Apparently they spoiled a completely different show (I googled it just now). One I will probably never watch, so that's fine. But I had this idea in my head from the very first episode that the show was going to end a certain way. And it had nothing at all to do with that.
That said, I did think a few episodes ago "you know what would suck, if..." and pretty much predicted the last scene, which I then abandoned because I was sure the last scene was going to be something else based on the spoiler someone told me over a decade ago.
@Deebaser Apparently St. Elsewhere. I don't even know what the fuck St. Elsewhere is. Anyway, they told me the ending to THAT show but told me it was the ending of Twin Peaks.
Alright, I've gotta say.... If you want to have sympathy for female feminists, as a man? Have twins. Because God damn will you quickly start to hate the people that just have to point out that some things are actually easier when you have two kids at once.
My eye rolling muscles are so sore.
I don't understand what you mean here.
I have twin sons. The parents of single children very frequently like to try to explain to me the things that are actually easier when you have twins. It's annoying, especially since I don't make a habit if complaining about the many many things that are more difficult when you have two identically aged pre pre schoolers.

So should I assume that Leland also entered the black lodge, when he was younger? And that is how Bob inhabits them? By luring them into the black lodge and then letting them "escape"?

that is MIND-BLOWING
I can't even imagine how that must have colored your viewing of Twin Peaks.
But yes, definitely track down Fire Walk With Me. It's a weird movie and kind of unpleasant in places but it also has some really great scenes and if you're paying attention it does kind of satisfactorily explain what's going on and how [character] will get out of [situation].
Tuesdays are bread day, which means we get bread instead of rice. Which means generally they are not Japanese meals, so it is a wonderful change of pace.
Today was awesome. It was like rye bread and chicken seasoned in a western style and then chowder to dip the bread in.
Perfect cold weather food.

@Drez St. Elsewhere was a show about an underfunded hospital in Boston. Rather than being about medical mysteries, it was more of a drama about the everyday lives of all these people who worked there, and was famous for being really well-written and intelligent about various social issues; the producers went on to create "Homicide: Life on the Streets" and "Oz." It was kind of ahead of its time - it's much more like a modern serial drama than most of the action or mystery stuff that was popular in the 80s. It also launched the careers of several actors, including a few you may have heard of. And it had great theme music:
The end was controversial, but it's really just kind of a gimmick out of left field, like the end of "Newhart." It wasn't actually a show about a kid and a snowglobe.

The rationale they give for that is that if you sell it at an auction, you'll need to pay auction fees anyway and end up with about what the pawn shop is offering you.
What really blows my mind is how people walk in saying "I'm not selling for less than $X", then they end up selling for a fraction of that and walk out saying "it's a fair price, I'm happy with it." It's like a psychology experiment.
But you have to keep in mind that there's nothing forcing anyone to sell. I've seen people walk out without selling. People know the appraised value of their stuff. If they decide to take the money... whatever.
I do like the show though. It's entertaining, and some of the stuff they bring in is really cool and has interesting backstories.

To have a show with a title that makes people misread it as something porn related then let down when it's old people bargaining over useless items.
Because drugs.

yeah they bring some appraiser in and they appraise it
so the person selling the item is all "i'll sell it to you for that"
and then the pawn shop guy hems and haws about how he's got to make some money on it and etc etc
and the person walks out with like a third or less of the appraised value
Maybe you didn't see Naruto fighting him? In any case, yes.
What happened:
hit me up if you have questions
Soul Eater, because even though it's dumb it's got a really fun aesthetic going on
And Busou Renkin, because the authors' editors forced him to write another fighting series after the success of Kenshin, so he passive-aggressively wrote one that completely takes the piss out of every aspect of the genre until they finally cancelled it, much to his satisfaction.

It's Naruto. Why are you surprised?
Well, I can say this without spoilers:

I need to find Fire Walk With Me.
I MUST KNOW
I will say that it was super bullshit, and I think explicitly why I stopped reading at that point.
Though, to be fair, I like the fact that Naruto uses the power of pluck and empathy to convert all his enemies.
It was just a super cop-out that they revived everyone.
That is very possible.

I feel like watching it on Netflix is way better than waiting a week each time. It hasn't felt stretched out yet.
