* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
** In Portugal and Spain it's called "The Price of History" (or, in the respective languages, "''O Preço da História''"/"''El Precio de la Historia''"). This is repeated with the spinoffs: ''Pawn Stars UK'' is called "The Price of History: United Kingdom" and ''Cajun Pawn Stars'' is "The Price of History: Louisiana".
** In Brazil it's called "Done Deal" ("Trato Feito"), with the spinoffs being "Done Deal: United Kingdom" and "Done Deal: Louisiana".
** In Italy it's called "Affari di famiglia" ("Family Deals")
* DiedDuringProduction:
** Richard “The Old Man” Harrison’s death on June 2018.
** Autograph expert Drew Max passed away of alcoholism-induced liver disease in April 2020.
* DuelingShows: [=TruTv's=] ''Series/HardcorePawn'', though it deals more with the drama of a pawnshop rather than the items.
** And ''Cajun Pawn Stars'', which [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin is a pawn shop in Louisiana]], and airing back to back with ''Pawn Stars.''
* InMemoriam: The "A Treasure Remembered" special, which was dedicated to The Old Man a few days after he passed away.
* InformedAttribute: For being a pawn shop, not a lot of pawning is featured. This is actually justified here because pawning is legally a form of banking and requires substantially more paperwork to feature onscreen.
* MemeAcknowledgment: After the bombardment of calls requesting ''Battletoads'', a copy of the game [[http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1sf1ul/watching_pawn_starsapparently_battletoads_is_rare/ appeared in the background of an episode.]]
* TheOtherDarrin: Other experts occasionally replace Rick Dale and Danny Coker, presumably because they're too busy with their own shows.
* WriterRevolt: Rick and Corey's fighting in the second season was artificial scripting caused by ExecutiveMeddling. After the bitterness started seeping over into real life, Rick told the History Channel to stop it or they would end the show/take it to another network, and they listened. This incident is referenced in the new version of the opening, where Rick mentions family being more important than business.
