Do you think he has mobster ties since he owns a Pawn Store in Detroit? You know Les the guy with the slicked back hair and gold chains with the leather jacket? I could see him being an enforcer since he stands up to all those hoodlums every single day in his store and takes no shit!

haha no

les gold is a pussy, him and his son only act confident in those tense situations on the show for 2 reasons...

#1 the conflicts are scripted so they have nothing to worry about.

#2 they have big, black security guards who have guns.

pawn stars in a way better show and i think the "old man" would run that shitty ghetto pawn shop outta buisiness if he ever wanted to set up shop in a shithole like detroit. on a side note, anyone else notice how fat the daughter has gotten on hardcore pawn?

Lol Les mobbed up HAHAHAHA that gave me the best laugh ive had all day thanks man..... That dude has absolutley no balls other than those black security guards now if its scripted i dont know .... but its quite amusing how he gets in these guys face and NEVER gets hit..... coincedence everyone in detroit is pussy??? doubt it

That show cracks me up. Everyone dumps on Ashley.

Pawn Stars might be a better show but it in now way represents what an average pawn shop is like. Hardcore is far closer to reality.

fair points although i would venture to say that neither one really portrays what a real pawn shop is like. where are all the drug addicts, bums, and alcoholics as they make up a significant % of pretty much any pawn shop. at least on hardcore pawn they have had instances where people have tried to unload stolen shit, while i don't remember that on pawn stars.

The shows funny, mobbed up, I doubt it, but you'd would have to think someone has tried and hake him down for protection at least once or twice over the years...

I have a friend in the pawn business. He said they are ALL staged. He, in fact was asked to take one of his expensive and rare guns into the store and pretend to be interested in selling it. Those birds are lousy negotiators too. I am sure Les is a pussy in real life as is his ass hole son. The daughter is a total bitch

Les is a colorful guy, but he should tone down on the phony tough guy BS, because when he and his kids went to that gun store {without security} he got thrown out, and never once got in the guy's face !!

As for his kids, who uses four letter F bombs towards their father ?? That's disgraceful !!

Outside of that, its pretty funny and entertaining !!

Les gold is a pussy? Thats not a pussy business my friend. So he shouldent have security guards? What would you do five felonies, wet a guy everytime he refuses to leave your pawn shop?

That's my wife's favorite show.Here's the thing nobody and I mean nobody walks in to a pawn shop with a 12 inch black and white tv and says I want 400.00 for this.I mean come on.Then they get thrown out and their basically just goofing around in the parking lot.You know in real life somebody would try to retaliate in some way.The Vegas guy is a complete cheap-ass joke.He needs an expert to come in for everything and even when the expert says its worth a grand,Rick goes I can give you 300.00 for it tops.Why,its just going to sit here,there's no market for it,but yet he will turn around and sell it for a grand.Cheap scape piece of shit.

Definitely not. I'm from Michigan and we think he's the biggest pussy ever. His son is an even bigger puss. "Say it to my face, say it!" They're screaming all this while their security is pushing back the customer. Plus, I saw an episode with a guy trying to pawn 20 grand watch right? It was fake, but I saw that same exact guy on Cold Case's episode "bullet".

Les Gold is 100 % Jewish.

And this is noteworthy because ........ (this is where you explain why you made this post, Snicker).

Yeah I know a few people who tried to become actors and all they ever wanted to be in a major movie was " Guy in the background"

I'd take a dumb up on her

But you know he won't .

Yeah, let's hear your explanation, Snicker.

Was that the first season? I'm pretty sure these show's are scripted right why would the show put that on the air, I think Snickers had his comment confused with the other thread about Les Gold and the Detroit Partnership where asked if he was Italian on is Mother's Side?

I saw that episode..Nobody in their right mind would get $5,000 for a counterfeit watch, give their real name and phone # and go back to the store again after they called you to come back...with the cash no less !!!

Snicker has DickNose as his lawyer???? Holy shit, he's worse off than I thought.

DickNose, take some advice and worry about your own shit. Snicker is quite capable of digging his own grave.

Idunno...but I´ve always heard that les is more.
