Interesting. I don't watch that program. And I've never been in a pawn shop. I've got friends that swear by them, but they know what they're buying(jewelry mainly). Though I'd still argue it's a typo. My dealer can't sell these machines for $500 because people want NEW for that amount of money. I've seen them go for anywhere between $300-1,000 on ebay and CL. So...it would definitely be worth the call if someone is remotely interested in it.
