They didn't have any.
They took one of their prized possessions—The Star of The Empire, one of the worlds largest diamonds—to a famous yet discreet pawn shop outside of Las Vegas to ask for a loan.
The pawnbroker said "So I talked to my buddy who is an expert in diamonds to get his opinion. I can give you $200,000 for it."
Prince Harry said "You must be joking, I had this appraised at nearly 2 million pounds! Don't you know who I am, I'm a prince! My mother is Queen of The United Kingdom, Elizabeth II!!"
The pawnbroker said "$200k, take it or leave it. When you wish to pawn a star, makes no difference who you are..."
Coz a pawn would just go to the end of Britain and respawn as the Queen!
Finally my high school karate lessons came to some use.
"Once a pawn a time..."

to Hong Kong-based jewelry retailer Chu Tai Fook. Over the last few months as the protests in Hong Kong have become heated Mr. Chu has been on the side of the government which has caught the eye of the international gem dealers, causing him to become a bit of a pariah.
The diamond went up for sale his and the Chinese government wanted to ensure that world's most expensive gem got a fair price. Mr. Chu approached Southerby's who was hesitant to get involved in what could be deemed a political gem sale. Despite his protests none of the world's leading auction houses the answer was always the same, they would not do the auction. This is when president Xi Jiping got involved to ensure that some good news could come out of China.
Last week it was reported that Rick Harrison, from Pawn Stars, had approached Xi Jinping saying that he would hold the diamond but couldn't promise more than $500 USD from the sale of the pendant. This infuriated the Chinese president threatened to take down the reality TV star, but Harrison was adamant telling Mr. Pooh, "If Chu wished to pawn the star, makes no difference who you are"

I put up Punderdome cards on my door every day. Today's cards were too much fun not to share. What else can you come up with?

I was walking down the street when I found a gold chess set lying on the ground. I don't really need it, so I might just pawn it.

Hey Redditors, I am helping to host a trade show and the theme is "Game Changer." One subject line I made was "Still Pawn-dering about -trade show-?" and I am trying to keep it along the lines of Chess, Checkers, and Scrabble, or other board games. Thank you in advance for reading and/or your help!

Just head over to Gru Pawn.
"They have sold over a billion of cans of this stuff. You could say it has made the company A LOT of dough."
Quote from Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars. I find it hard to believe that he is not the face of Dad Jokes. There are at least 5 per episode. I can only assume in real life it is more like 20 hundred bajillion per day.
Usher at a baseball game last night was telling some of us that he had gone to play chess with his son, but some of the small pieces were missing.
Turns to a couple ladies, "do either of you know where I can find a pawn shop?"
They groaned. My girlfriend groaned. I laughed hysterically and shot water out of my nose.
He and my brother were driving back home from a vacation and stayed in a hotel last night. He said he was tired because they stayed up late doing things that “weren't appropriate" (he was joking obviously). I asked what and more brother said they were just watching pawn stars. Then my dad said “Yep, we watched a lot of 'pawn' last night." He then continued to chucked to himself.
