In today's society, there are two types of people. The ones who know that the History Channel's top-rated reality show, Pawn Stars, is staged, and those that do not. If you happen to be one of the few people that still think Pawn Stars is real, then we should apologize right now because you are in for a big revelation.

Pawn Stars is a reality show filmed at Rick Harrison's Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. The show features three generations of Harrison's (Grandfather, Father, and Son,) running their pawn shop and interacting with random guests carrying some unique and valuable items.

Although it looks authentic, and the negotiating seems real at times, it is staged and rehearsed. The items that we see really do come into the shop and the sellers are real but that is where reality ends and production begins. Sellers are often brought back in after items are sold or not, and are filmed with one of the stars of the show taking a look at the item before making an offer.

Even with the staged deals and phony drama that seems to have been created for an increase in ratings, the show still does manage to bring in some very interesting items from sellers who normally walk away happy. Every now and then, a seller will leave and regret the decision they just made but that is far and few between.

Let's take a look at five sellers who regretted the decisions they made on Pawn Stars and 15 that loved the results of their appearance on the show.

Regret: 1984 Chris Craft Stinger 260

Even with the age of it being so old, this boat has really held its value over the years. Rick and the "Old Man" do not buy boats and they make it a big deal whenever one shows up at the shop. However, Corey decided to make a deal with a customer involving his 1984 Chris Craft Stinger 260 boat for $16,500. At first, Rick was angry, but after the boat got repaired, the total cost was about $4,000 to fix so they ended up spending $20,500 for a boat that was valued at $30,000 by an expert. The seller mentioned that he could not afford to pay for the repairs to fix it but, if he did, he could have earned another $10,000 by selling it himself.

Loved: 1602 Dutch East India Antique Bell

Almost every time someone brings in an item that was underwater, it has either very little value or is worth a lot with no middle ground. Most of the time, the sellers do not even know what the value is in the item they are in possession of is, anyways, so when they make a deal, they are normally happy.

This was the case when a seller brought in an antique 1602 Dutch East India bell taken from a ship that had sunken to the bottom of the ocean. Because of its great condition, no one believed it was authentic until an expert verified that it was actually the real deal. Once they found that out, an offer was made for $15,000 and the seller quickly agreed so she could use the money to cover her moving costs.

Loved: 1842 5th Edition Book of Mormon

The value of a book comes from more than just how old it is. This is especially true when dealing with books on religion. So when the owner of an 1842 5th edition Book of Mormon came into the shop, Rick had to call in an expert to help him figure out a price.

In turn, he brought in Rebecca Romney, one of the most intelligent experts the show has ever had, and she explained how important this edition was for the book. In fact, the value of this book comes from when it was printed. It was printed in 1842 and is the final edition printed before the founder of the Mormon religion passed away. She appraised it at $40,000 and the owner very happily agreed to $24,000.

Loved: 1932 Lincoln Roadster

It is not very often that Rick will close a deal using gold as the form of currency, but that was exactly how he was able to land a 1932 Lincoln Roadster off an owner who was very reluctant to sell it for anything less than $100,000.

After taking a look at the car, Rick figured he would have to repair some of the damage to it and offered him $95,000. But the owner quickly turned him down and would have left had it not been mentioned that he wanted gold as an investment. So he sold it to Rick for $95,000 and flipped that into gold.

Loved: 1715 Spanish Fleet Gold Coin

In 1715, 11 Spanish ships left Cuba, to head back to Spain, with an estimated 14 million dollars worth of gold and silver. The fleet also had close to 1,000 people on board the eleven vessels. Shortly after they departed from Cuba, a massive hurricane sunk the entire fleet, all 11 ships, and took the lives of the 1,000 people on board.

When the ships sank, they dumped all that treasure into the ocean and it continues to wash on the shores of Florida today. This coin was brought in by someone who had inherited it and was looking to sell it for $2,000. However, after an expert verified the coin to be real, it was valued at $18,000. The owner gladly agreed to Rick's offer of $11,000.

Regret: Civil War Clark & Sherrard Officer Pistol

Anytime someone walks into the shop with authentic Civil War memorabilia, Rick is all over it. He normally pays top dollar for it because he is not worried about a profit as much as he is worried about owning it. So when a seller brought in one of the rarest pistols used during the Civil War, Rick was all smiles.

Even the expert he called in talked about how he has only seen one Clark & Sherrard Civil War pistol, and it was in a museum. As he continues to examine the pistol, the expert mentions that others sold for about $80,000. It looked to be real until the final part of the pistol he was checking for authenticity, the serial number. He noticed the font was wrong and that it was not the real deal. The seller went from owning a pistol worth $80,000 to having a fake gun worth nothing. Rick did not even make an offer.

Loved: Paul Revere Custom Spoon

Just about anyone that lives in the United States of America should know about Paul Revere and his infamous "Midnight Ride" which helped save America from the British during the American Revolution. On that evening, he rode through the towns alerting Americans by shouting, "The British are coming, the British are coming!"

But that is not the only thing he did with his life. He was also a well-established silversmith that had a thriving business in the Boston area and one of his best works of art include dentist tools and eating utensils, like the spoon that a seller brought to Rick without having any idea what it was worth.

The seller needed to pay for his daughter's wedding and was hoping to make a deal. When he found out it was worth around $15,000, he was ready to make a deal and happily agreed to $9,500.

Loved: The Godfather Original Script With Autograph

It is not very often that the owners of Rick Harrison's Gold & Silver Pawn Shop make an offer so insulting that it becomes newsworthy. But that was exactly what happened when someone brought them an original script from the movie "The Godfather" that was also signed by someone named Al. Rick and the others assumed it was Al Pacino and the expert that came in had issues verifying it but that was because it wasn't Al Pacino's signature, it was the producer's, Al Ruddy.

But they had no clue at the time and decided to send an offer of $500 for the script. The seller of the item knew it was way more valuable than $500 and decided to hang onto it instead. After it left the store, word got around and it eventually got recognized as having Al Ruddy's signature on it. It sold at an auction for $15,000.

Loved: Stephen Stills' 1941 Gibson SJ-200 Guitar

Just because someone says their guitar was once owned by a famous musician, does not mean it is true. But if they can prove it, like with a bill of sale signed by that same musician, then it becomes something of incredible value.

That is exactly what happened when the owner of a 1941 Gibson SJ-200 guitar claimed it was once owned by Stephen Stills, of the rock group Crosby, Stills, & Nash, and brought it to the shop ready to make a deal. The guitar expert Rick brought in put the value of the guitar alone, regardless of who owned it, to be around $90,000. But once you prove it was once owned by Stephen Stills, it becomes closer to $110,000.

The owner was very happy with the appraisal and agreed to $85,000.

Loved: 1890 Vampire Defense Kit

Sir Phillip William Burne-Jones was a very good friend to Bram Stoker, who was the author that wrote Dracula. He once owned a Vampire Defense Kit that featured everything you would need in order to protect yourself against one of them. In the case, which is a piece of art in itself, comes wooden mallets, a silver crucifix, silver mounted wooden stakes, glass bottles of ether and chloroform, two small .5 caliber silver mounted percussion pocket pistols, a bible, and several other incredible items.

The owner of the kit obtained it through inheritance from his grandfather, who purchased it at an estate sale. So even though vampires are nothing more than a myth, this item has some real value and was valued at $25,000. The seller was willing to make a deal and they came to an agreement for $16,000.

Loved: Martin Luther King Jr. Vietnam Speech With Autograph

The value of any item of historical significance is going to be higher when it is signed, as are most memorabilia items. But this item was valuable for many reasons. Not only was it signed by Martin Luther King Jr., it was also a pamphlet of a speech he made coming out against the Vietnam War, the first time he publicly did so.

The man known for being a leader in the battle for equal rights in America was also a peaceful man. He fought using politics and speaking to people's hearts about who we really are as a human being. So it was a very big deal when he spoke against the Vietnam War in 1967. This item was verified by an expert and was valued around $12,000, which was a pretty big deal to the seller, who had no clue it would bring in so much money. He ended up striking up a deal for $10,000.

Loved: Jimi Hendrix's 1964 Fender Stratocaster Guitar

Jimi Hendrix is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Just like what The Beatles did to music a decade prior, he was able to take the guitar to a whole new level. He broke away from the traditional use of the guitar and pushed its boundaries while creating music that continues to be popular in 2019. His ability to invent a new sound using just his fingers made him an icon that died far too soon.

So when a seller brought Rick a 1964 Fender Stratocaster that was verified to have been personally owned, and used, by the man himself, it had to be worth some serious dough. The expert they brought in quickly valued it at $750,000 to $1,000,000 at auction and negotiations began. Rick offered $600,000 and the seller immediately started packing up his stuff because that was too low of an offer for something that could net $1,000,000, but the appraisal ensured the seller could find a better price elsewhere.

Regret: 1546 Isaac Newton Alchemy Book

Isaac Newton was one of the most famous philosophers in world history and very well could have been one of the smartest men ever to walk the planet. He was a physicist, astronomer, theologian, mathematician, and even wrote his own books. He was the reason for the scientific revolution, which has changed humanity and will continue to change the world for generations.

One of the coolest books ever brought into the shop actually came from Isaac Newton's personal library. It was called De re metallica and it was a book about the nature of metals. In other words, it was a book about alchemy and should bring in a good profit. Even after bring appraised by an expert, and given a value of $20,000, the seller ended up selling it for $7,000 because he has no clue what a negotiation should look like.

Loved: Mary Fords' 1961 Gibson SG Les Paul Guitar

The Gibson Les Paul is one of the most famous electric guitars in music history and has been used by musicians from all musical genres including classic rock, jazz, country, blues, and heavy metal. It was also the guitar used by Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin,) Slash (Guns N' Roses,) Eric Clapton, Gary Moore (Skid Row,) Peter Frampton, Pete Townshend (The Who,) Ace Frehley (KISS,) Joe Perry (Aerosmith,) and Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top.)

As luck would have it, the nephew of Mary Ford, who was married to Les Paul, decided to bring in Mary's personally owned 1961 Gibson SG Les Paul Guitar that she also used when traveling around the country with Les Paul. When the guitar expert came into the shop, he knew it was going to bring in a ton and valued it as high as $150,000. After hearing this, a deal was made for $90,000 and both parties walked away happy.

Loved: Faberge Spider Brooch

One of the coolest moments in the history of Pawn Stars was when we all realized that Rick Harrison was not a bad guy that tries to low-ball everyone out of their items so he can turn around and make a fortune off of them. It was during an episode where a lady brought in beautiful spider brooch she had inherited from her grandmother's estate where this was made clear. She really had no clue what it could be worth, but was thinking closer to $2,000.

After analyzing it, it did not take Rick long to figure out that he was actually holding something worth about seven times what she was asking for it. That was because it was a Faberge brooch and anything related to Faberge brings in a ton of money. So when the seller asked for $2,000, Rick countered her offer with $15,000 and she nearly fell to the floor. After making the deal, she walked away with more money than she could have ever expected that day.

Loved: 200 Pounds of Silver

Since 1969, the value of Silver has gone up fairly steadily with a few years of extremely high prices mixed in. The sudden spikes in value over the past fifty years are related to various reasons. The Hunt Brothers tried to corner the market in silver back in the late 70's and helped to drive it up a year while the debt ceiling crisis of 2011 was another factor.

The episode where Jeff, a seller, comes into the shop dragging along 200 pounds of silver was from 2012, when Silver was around $31 per ounce. Jeff invested in the silver in 2000, when it was valued closer to $5 per ounce. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that it was about a $15,000 investment in 2000. So when he sold it to them for $111,000, just 12 years later, he was happier than a clam in the sand.

Loved: 1922 Proof Peace High Relief Dollar Coin

Do you play poker? Have you ever been involved in a house game where one of the other players ends up putting up a coin that is considered to be the most valuable in U.S. American history? Many coin collectors chase after this one but rarely do they find it in such good condition.

That was the case for this seller, who claimed he won a 1922 Proof Peace High Relief Dollar Coin in a card game and was looking to get $20,000 for it. That leads us to believe it was part of a bet in the same range and he was trying to turn it into cash. But to his shock, the expert came in and valued the coin to be worth between $50,000 to $100,000. He would strike a deal to sell the coin for $80,000, four times more than he walked in thinking he would get for it.

Regret: Super Bowl XXXVI Ring

Since he pawned off his 2001 Super Bowl Championship ring, Brock Williams, former New England Patriot defensive back, has since disappeared and no one even knows what really happened in his life to force him to make a decision like that. He refused to sell the ring for $15,000 because he just needed a loan of $2,600 for a few weeks. That meant he was returning to get it one day.

It has been years and he never came back for it, meaning it now belongs to Rick and is legally his to do with as he pleases. Sellers have 90 days to return to buy back their item or it becomes the shop's.

Brock Williams continued playing in the NFL for a couple seasons so one should wonder why he never came back for it.

Loved: 1951 New York Yankees Autographed Baseball

The 1951 New York Yankees was very special and not many sports fans know about its' significance to the sport of baseball. Not only did this team feature six Hall of Famers, it was Joe DiMaggio's final season and Mickey Mantle's first. It was the only time two of the greatest players the sport has ever seen were paired together.

Both of their autographs, along with the rest of their teammates from the 1951 MLB World Championship New York Yankees, signed this ball and the seller was looking to make a deal. However, even after he had someone authenticate the autographs, Rick still only offered $800 for the ball. The seller could not imagine making that kind of deal and walked. Good for him because it has been sold at auction for $15,000 since.

Regret: Cigar Humidor Owned by JFK

John F. Kennedy is one of the most memorable Presidents in American History for many reasons besides being the only one to lose his life in front of thousands of people while riding in his car through Dallas, Texas. Because of his popularity, anything he owned has serious value. The more unique they are, the greater the value. A cigar humidor should be considered unique, right?

The owner of Cigar Aficionado magazine seemed to think so when he bought one for close to $500,000. The difference was, the one he bought was not used by JFK, just owned by him. The one that came into the shop was used by JFK and had documents to prove it. After trying to come across desperate, the seller ended up selling it for $60,000. The value remains in question but it is safe to say, it will easily sell for much more one day.
