Jason
America's #1 Thrifter

Jason has sourced and sold it all. He lives in fabulous Las Vegas and thrifts and sells his finds both domestically and internationally. He has victoriously survived a rapidly changing ecommerce world by adapting the businesses that he started on Ebay and Amazon over 20 years ago.  

He experienced his public rise to fame as the fun loving and adventurous half of TV’s “Thrift Hunters” duo (Spike TV; A&E Australia 2014-2016). He can currently be seen on History Channel’s Pawn Stars as a professional thrifter who brings in many treasures each visit. Jason has been thrifting his entire life,  and he has turned his passion into a lucrative career that has opened many doors for him socially and professionally.

Smith is a champion of all things small business, and he speaks and trains people all over the country, helping other entrepreneurs and hobby enthusiasts turn their passions into profits. Jason was called twice to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC to represent small business owners in front of the U.S. Congress to lobby in support of the Marketplace Fairness Act. 

He is the founder of “The Thrifting Board,” a Facebook group of more than 57,000 members, and “The Secret Beach Club,”  also on Facebook, which is a smaller group that dives much deeper into all aspects of being a successful thrifter. He is also the host of two hugely successful Youtube shows, “Thrifty Business” & “Selling Past Your Expiration Date, Being Thrifty Over 50.”   While thrifting is his passion, his love is for all things tiki. When he is not thrifting or teaching, you will find him at a local tiki bar drinking his favorite fine rum cocktail.
