I hate to say this about television, since I have a television show, but it's just mind-numbing to me.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
When the premiere of the show came out, we threw a big party, and, like, five minutes into the party, me and Corey walked out of the party and said... 'No one's ever gonna watch this.'
Quote by -Rick Harrison
There's only so much stuff you can buy. I have to retail the stuff. Stuff that's really really weird - it's cool, but who are you going to sell it to? I do collect some stuff. In the end, I have to run a business.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
When you endorse a Republican, everyone sort of frowns on you. I don't know why, but hey.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
The best part of my business is working with my family, and the worst part of my business is working with my family.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I had this when I was 17 years old - a 1969 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with no backseat. I paid 150 bucks for it, I think, rode it for a good six months, and put four or five quarts of oil a week in it.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
The Obama administration made it illegal for me to loan any money to anyone in the military. I have one compliance guy just for a pawn shop. It's everything from Homeland Security, FBI, the local police department, IRS - all these regulations I have to keep an eye on constantly, and it's just overwhelming for a small business.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I compete with the 'Welcome To Las Vegas' sign for the number one non-gaming tourist attraction in Las Vegas. I get more visitors than the Hoover Dam.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
It amazes me. I'm just a fat, middle-aged, bald guy, but people still want to meet me.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
You can have a soda every once in awhile, but don't drink a gallon of it a day.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
It's the only pawnshop I know that's got real Picassos hanging on the wall. I have Salvador Dalis on the wall. I have LeRoy Neimans.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
My wife got all freaked out when we started doing the reality show because she said she saw all these reality shows, and everyone was getting divorced.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
There are a lot of weird things you might find in your basement or your attic that may have a lot of value.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I read a book every night. I really am that nerd, so when I get to go to the Smithsonian and get to go in the back rooms and play with stuff, things like that, for a guy like me, that's amazing.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I meet celebrities all the time, but I have no idea who they are because I don't watch television.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I probably have 15 to 20 Dalis in the store. The secret to buying Dali - never buy one made after 1970.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I discovered at age 13 that if a spoon had 'Sterling' on the back, it was worth money. I'd run around a swap meet and find 20 in a day, make 75 to 100 bucks by finding silver spoons.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I'm a dad with six kids, and I'm trying to teach each of them a little bit of morality.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
If the economy is bad, I might be bringing a lot of things in, but it's difficult to sell, and the opposite when the economy is good.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I've worked with and talked to poor people my entire life, being in the pawn shop business.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I have people coming to me with endorsements all the time. I've turned down endorsements well over $1 million because I didn't like the company.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
The part I hate is when we go out to eat. My youngest son, who's 11, doesn't like to eat in more fancy restaurants, so we often go out to places like Red Robin and such. Well, as you can imagine, in that kind of place I probably have to jump up about 10 times during a meal to take a picture with somebody or sign an autograph.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
Most of those who pawn things and want to borrow money don't want to be on television. That part of my business you don't see, and I do five or 10 times as much.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
Five or 10 years from now, people are going to be sitting around going, 'Wasn't there a show about four fat guys in a pawn shop?' And I am sitting on this really nice piece of property on Las Vegas Boulevard. Why not?
Quote by -Rick Harrison
'Game of Thrones' really is an amazing series. Political intrigue, and then they throw in a little magic. I mean, it's got a dragon in it.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
For years, I pitched a reality show because I thought it would be good for business.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
You have to have what your customers need because if you don't have what your customers need, you're not going to have customers.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I am just a normal guy, and suddenly I am really, really famous. It's definitely got its perks; I never have to wait in line at a restaurant.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
There's a million things wrong with government that need to get fixed, but none of its ever going to get fixed unless we start educating our children better.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I believe that capitalism is the one thing in this world that's brought people out of poverty.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
My dad had always bought and sold gold and other stuff. In '81, he went broke because of real estate, so he moved us to Vegas and opened a small second-hand store. We always wanted a pawn license because there's a lot more money in that.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
I read science books, chemistry books, history books. I read that stuff for fun.
Quote by -Rick Harrison
Most people don't realize the amount of tax forms the small business guy has to go through.
