Don't know if anybody else on this List watches 'Pawn Stars,' but
pawnshop-owner Rick's biggest peeve is customers who try to 'restore' an
original item--thinking it makes them more presentable and hence more
valuable--which always, ALWAYS, reduces the value to collectors (and to him).
He'd rather see a rusty old Colt Navy with a banged-up wooden grip than a
shiny, polished-up one with a new pearl handle.
