    You are going to sell a bottle of wine to a pawn shop? Plus I can't understand the whole idea of driving far to get to a pawn shop. The appeal is that easy to access. The whole business model is aimed at people who are too lazy, desperate, or stupid to sell their items at value.
    That would be 408Mike.

    I would recommend taking it to a wine place, not a pawn shop to sell it - if it is worth that much.

    Retail $2700, pawn shop will give you $600-800 if you are lucky.

    Shit put a fucking ad on Craig's List.

    These guys make a living off robbing people blind every day, I knew a guy who owned one and he told me how he gave people peanuts on the dollar for anything and everything.

    Vanity wine market small.

    LOL LOL. I don;t even know where to begin. I was picking out bordeaux's from my dad's wine cellar at 2 years of age. I was actually going to give you advice but you're not worth my time with how insulting you can be. GL selling at 20% of its value. That is if you don;t drink it yourself

According to a separate source, the time behind bars changed Jarrod for the better. “Living alongside the murderers and rapists made him realize he was going down the same path. He’s not a bad guy. He went through a dark few years there and drugs were at the root.”

    Jarrod is reportedly bound and determined to stay on the straight and narrow, and his new-found success on Storage Wars should help make that a reality.

    And what about Brandi Passante? By now most of you have probably seen the above mug shot photo featuring a woman that looks sort of like Brandi Passante crying (99% chance it’s not her btw), but has she ever run afoul of the police? The answer is yes, although nothing as severe as Jarrod’s drug conviction.

    According to online records, Brandi was arrested for drunk driving in May, 2007 and pleaded guilty in October of the same year. Her punishment was three years of probation, mandatory three-month attendance at First Offender Alcohol Program, and $390 in fines. Unfortunately, Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante’s mug shot photos were not available online. If there’s someone out there in Orange County with some connections at the county courthouse leave a comment below or drop us a line at starcasmtips (at) yahoo.com!

    In the end I think it’s obvious Jarrod and Brandi have gotten their acts together and are headed to bigger and better things. I’m sure some fans will criticize this article and accuse us of being negative, but I think Jarrod and Brandi’s past is integral to understanding their story and only makes them (and the show) that much more interesting and positive.
    I went to the same high school as Brandi. I didn't know her very well since she was a senior when I was a freshman, however her brother was in the same class as me. He was definitely the class stoner and all around bro-tard. From what I heard Brandi was also a stoner and drunk as well.

    So a basic Jennifer Aniston type. Who the hell here thought this show was real again? If you watched the show even twice you'd know they're doing camera setups and post take cutaway shots.

    I'm sure they are pretty selective as to who gets on TV, but there is a line around the corner at 10 AM every time I've driven by.
    So you can definitely talk to someone about selling that.

    There is a bar in Greektown in Detroit that is called Marylin's on Monroe that actively collects Monroe Merch. Good bet they'd listen to an offer. www.facebook.com/marilynsonmonroedetroit

    Mike would never make it on TV for Pawn Stars. He probably could for Hardcore Pawn though. He could go in there and try to sell his stuffed animals full of cum and lunch meat. When they refuse, he starts crying, then goes crazy.

    Hester has Marty Singer representing him?? Oh shit, he don't fuck around like that.

    By David Perel - Executive Vice President/Managing Editor Radar

    A trail of emails and receipts will help prove that Storage Wars routinely faked scenes in the wake of Dave Hester’s multi-million lawsuit against the reality show, sources close to the situation charge exclusively to RadarOnline.com.

    What’s more, producers were so brazen about planting items in lockers during the show’s first season that they often did it in front of cast and crew members in the middle of taping, a source tells Radar.

    Radar broke the story that Hester sued A&E and the show’s production company. Hester charges in court papers that the show is rigged with producers routinely placing valuable and interesting items in storage lockers to be “discovered” by the bidders for dramatic effect and increased ratings. He claims the show fired him after he loudly complained about the escalating practice.

    While the network has previously insisted the show is not faked, Radar has now learned that a series of emails and receipts can help prove items were planted in lockers, especially during the reality show’s first season.

    “There are invoices, checks and other documentation where the production company actually compensated cast members for supplying items that were planted in the lockers and then ‘discovered’ on camera,” one source with knowledge of the situation told Radar exclusively.

    Here’s how it worked, according to the source: During the show’s first season, producers asked some cast members to provide interesting items that were then planted in lockers and discovered on camera. Those cast members already owned the items so the production company then paid them a “rental” fee for the on-camera usage of the items. This left a trail of emails, receipts and reimbursement checks, Radar has learned exclusively.

    “There are emails to certain cast members about items. Certain cast members then sent the production company invoices for items they ‘discovered’ on camera that match the story lines – items they already owned,” the source told Radar. “And then there are checks where those cast members were reimbursed for the items they planted that were discovered on camera.”

    Some of the receipts and reimbursement checks are extremely clear about the item being referenced, and those items match what was found on camera!

    The evidence is beyond compelling, says the source, adding: “I don’t see how the network or production company can say this never happened.”

    Not all cast members supplied items to be ‘discovered.’ For some, the items were provided by the production company, sources tell Radar.

    And just as damaging for the network and production company is that the items were planted in the middle of taping an episode, leaving many eyewitnesses, an insider tells Radar.

    "There were many times when a bidder was going through a room they bought and suddenly the production company would stop taping,” the insider revealed. “Then they would take the item to be ‘discovered’ and place it in the room right in front of the bidders and some crew members!

    “This was especially true during the first two seasons. Then they would start filmingagain and the bidder would suddenly ‘find’ the planted item!

    “It’s so obvious it’s ridiculous.”

    A&E and the show’s production company have not commented on Hester’s lawsuit or updated their denial that the show is staged.

    Auctioneer Dan Dotson told Radar the show is NOT staged, pointing to a series of protections that are built in to prevent unauthorized people gaining access to lockers before they are sold.

    But those denials are just a smoke screen, two sources close to the show told Radar independently.

    “The lockers were salted AFTER they were bought,” one source said. “So Dan’s explanation about how there are seals on the lockers and no one can get into them is simply wrong in this case."

    And another source added: “There was also a time on the show when a locker was quickly described as something like a ‘special unit,’ disguising the fact it wasn’t a real storage locker and in fact had been completely rigged by producers.”

    Beverly Hills top attorney Marty Singer of Lavely & Singer is representing Hester and his lawsuit refers to meetings with top executives where Hester objected to the “salting” of lockers.

    Hester and Singer have not commented publicly on how they will proceed with the lawsuit.

    But one source close to several people on the show told Radar: “There are so many people who know what was going on, so many people who were eyewitnesses to the show being rigged anditems planted that it’s hard to understand how the network and production company will be able to stick to their denials about that.”

    I watched this show a couple times. How anyone could have ever believed this was not staged was pretty amazing. The same people always won the locker, that should have been a clue.

    The tilt factor in this show was when one someone would pick up a wrench and say "that is $10". WTF? You can go to Home Depot and pick up a better brand new wrench for $8. And when someone would get some piece of shit appraised for $5,000, as if someone would actually pay $5,000 for said piece of shit.

    American Pickers? Anyone ever seen that POS? Same thing, the scenes are staged and the store they are "picking" for does not even exist. The lady with the tats all over her tits is a professional actress, and the short fat guy is simply a high school buddy from the main dude who became a "picker" when he started on the show.

    I sure hope Chopped is not staged. That would be a crushing blow.

    I think the fact they win every locker is deceiving. I think they do a ton of lockers, and they obviously edit on the ones they don't win. As far as the prices they give shit. It's obviously ridiculous. I love when they add up the numbers. It makes them look like such fucking idiots.

    Chopped is the shit

    It's easy to spot the fake items. Oh look an authentic poison dart blower in a locker full of clothes!



    Also, how did a 750k suit become a multi-million dollar lawsuit?
