Is the show PAWN STARS staged?

The History Channel’s reality series “Pawn Stars” is staged but there is no acting involved. The personalities seen in the show are real. Negotiations between the staff of Las Vegas’ Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and their customers are often edited for length. When a customer brings in a unique or interesting item, he or she may be asked to return to the shop so that the crew can catch the negotiations on camera.
