A Business Tip From Rick

Posted by Michael on Aug 20, 2012 in Gold & Silver Pawn, Our Show | 14 comments

“Set yourself apart. As a small business owner with big competition, we had to figure out a way to be different. We saw an opportunity to invite people to sell their rare and unusual items at our shop, in addi

tion to conducting our usual pawn business. Now, when the big corporate pawn shops get an item they don’t recognize, they send the customer to us. ” ~Rick Harrison

   To Rick Harrison,
   Dear Mr. Harrison,
   My name is Joe Pollock and I live in Moreno Valley, Calif. I have a set of 6 poster gloss finished pictures approx. 18″ wide by 28″ long taken on the Moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Michael Cooper, and Buzz Aldrin. I received these as a gift from JPL as I worked on several sub-assemblies which were installed in the space capsule. These are very rare as they have the lense markers on them and the size they are. I have keep them in a picture tube for 43 plus years now, so they have never been exposed to light and are in excellent condition. I was told when they were presented to me to take good care of them as there only 1,500 sets made and they were all being given to people like myself.
   Sincerely, Joe

     Jonathan,
     You have to keep trying, most days they get slammed and can’t answer the phone. It’s best to call after 5pm here.
