What Happened To The Gun Expert Sean From Pawn Stars?

Sean Rich vs. Pawn Stars
A little over a month ago, my husband and I were watching Pawn Stars, you know, the "highest rated show on cable television." Anyhoo, we wondered where Sean Rich, the expert in antique arms and armor, had gone.



They paraded a few new gun "experts" on the show, but it just wasn't the same. That night, I was inspired to compose Sean an e-mail. I looked-up his email address at Tortuga Trading (his store) and this is what it said:

"Hi Sean,


Why haven't we seen you on Pawn Stars recently? We miss you!


Rachel and Rob"


A few hours later, this glorious letter was in my inbox:




"Hello Rachel and Rob,
Thank you for the e-mail. At the moment: Unfortunately, to make a very long story short, the production company and History Channel wanted me to sign an ‘exclusivity agreement’ to lock me down, control me, my business, future, my appearance, how I make a living to provide for my family, and expect me to do it for free or very little money without any negotiation (with no guarantee of being used !). So basically, I told them to ‘go pound sand…’
Please understand, that my decision has nothing to do with Rick and the Harrison’s, I love those guys. It is the unfortunate nature of the production company and Network greed when they have a successful show. Who knows, if enough fans cry out, maybe they will get the message and come back to the table of ‘reality’…
Thank you for your support !
Sean Rich

I don't know about you, but I think we should all "cry out" and get the History Channel execs to return to reality!

We loved him , and kept saying where is Sean . Shame on the history channel.

Put Simply: We want Sean back. He's interesting, knowledgeable and fun. Pay him his worth and put him back on the show. While I enjoy the Harrisons, they are not exactly brain surgeons.

Sean is the best at giving his expertise on rare and historical guns and other weapons. The best part was watching Rick and his sons (Including Chum) go out to Sean"s and fire the guns. Its ridiculous what the History Channel was trying to do with Sean. I think they'll come around and we'll see Sean back but fans like us need to voice their opinions. Tim

That sucks! Sean is awesome and does not surprise that the History channel would try to screw the little guy. I just lost a whole lot desire to watch the Pawn Stars now :(

Bring Sean back!

I think if you are going to start something like this you should at least have a link for a petition or something similar for people to 'cry out'. I'm with you though, bring Sean back !
