- Harsher in Hindsight: The arguments between Les/Seth versus Ashley, which led to her storming out on several occasions, can be harder to watch knowing that Ashley eventually left the family business citing familial disagreements. Likewise, Bobby J, the Butt-Monkey of the series, also left the store after the show ended, and he has since stated on social media that he felt being taken advantage of by owner Les Gold.
- Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: A common criticism of the show. Unlike its rival Pawn Stars where the main characters play off each other's strengths, many viewers found Seth and Ashley to be extremely childish and unpleasant towards each other for the sole sake of playing up the "Sibling Rivalry" aspect, even outright being condescending towards customers because they simply had a bad day, things that would easily got anyone else fired. On one occasion, Ashley blew off customers and colleagues because nobody wished her a happy birthday. On another occasion, Seth made a huge mistake in not banking on time during a holiday, leading to a shortage in cash. He blew up at Ashley for informing Les about a what is essentially a seriously mistake that could've costed thousands.
