am always amused when he never manages to find anything worth much money.

Well, except he has found furs, but he has ethics about furs and doesn't deal in them.

Anyway, I suspect the same about a lot of those "reality" shows. Mr Pipi loves "Hardcore Pawn", which I suspect isn't quite as exciting as the show makes it out to be what with people going in and causing outrageous scenes. I suspect the producers hire people off the streets to go in and act like jerks every so often just to spice things up.

That being said, I still think Les Gold is an asshole. He's always going to kick someone's ass (easy to say with a monster linebacker type standing behind him). He can never decide what he wants from his kids...one day he's telling them to take the initiative and act like co owners, next day he's putting them down for doing the same thing. He tells them not to argue with the customers, then he argues with the customers.

Psychopath.
