Pawn Stars: Rick Spends MILLIONS On These Expensive Items

asking for the car is 125,000. I've done my homework on this car. I know its value. I feel like it's a fair price when I ask about the car. Well, I'm going to call a friend of mine to come here and help me calculate. the price, I mean, it's just that it's an

expensive

car, there are a million little things that raise and lower the prices of these things, okay, okay, so let me bring him here, he'll know everything there is to know about this car, fantastic, okay, if I was in this position I would go ahead and call someone to take a look at it, but I know the car is what it is and I think it will bring the value I am looking for now that it is a Kind of like a car lift. pull up your dress and look what we're going through here, let's get under this hood here first, sweetie, there's the hiccup man 289, it looks like it's a pretty well kept engine bay, you know, this is definitely a car that's been appreciated.

I can say that what really makes the difference right now is the test drive, which is the only way to validate if it is a true Shellby. I think it's the real deal, guys, do you mind if we take it for a spin on the Block, make sure there's no problem? Problems, everything is working fine, uh, yeah, that's it. Okay, okay, so I promise I won't break it. Okay, you promise hypo 289, let's do this. Watch out baby back in '67, when you drove this car, you were a little dumb. I mean, this was paying a lot. money to drive a Mustang, you could drive a Porsche for the price of this car back then, you know what I mean, yeah she's a good man, she's very strict, the test drive was amazing, man she's a Solid car, felt good, has really good power, you know? that car would get the goods when you step on the accelerator what do you think it's worth?

Well, it's a solid car, it runs and drives well, so I'd say $100-110,000. I appreciate you letting us take it easy. Ride down the road I appreciate what you said and we'll talk, we'll say how you got a great car, man, great car, thanks a lot, see you soon Lu, buddy, so what do you think? I think it's a great car and I. I rarely do this, but I'm not going to negotiate. I'll give you 100 grand. There is no money beyond 100 grand. None. Is it feasible that you can do 105? No, anything beyond 100 doesn't make a cent of sense.

Okay, so you're actually not going to go a cent, Mar, you've got a good deal. Let's do some paperwork and we can find out if my dad is going to yell at me for driving for a week. I imagine this. It was a good point for me to go ahead and let him pass and now he has the car. I got the money and I'm out of here. The Hard Rock hotel right off the Strip recently closed. The entire property was covered in incredible rock and roll photography, all of this stuff was sold when the place changed hands.

I was recently contacted by an individual who says he has all of these photographs and is looking to sell them. This sounds almost too good to be true, but you know what I just had. to check it out, hey Rick, how are you? You miss me, Richard, that's me and you have the Hard Rock collection. I'm sure they're all in the back come on follow me I'll show them I mean and you have all the pictures I do it that's an amazing find so here's W that's absolutely amazing yeah it's definitely cool, man, the Hard Rock Hotel here in Las Vegas was probably considered the most modern hotel, maybe in the world.

They weren't just memories, I mean, they were things. well this can be hung anywhere but a rock star's pair of pants has its place in society but not in every home exactly I'm looking to sell a collection of photos these photos were all at the Hard Rock Hotel on location more

expensive

suits and also in the lobbies a friend of mine works there and told me that this collection was for sale. He knew he had to buy it. I'm looking at $150,000 for this entire 50-piece collection. I think it's absolutely incredible. Okay, Deborah Harry, absolutely blonde. I guess this is a kiss in Japan, yes, a kiss in Kyoto by Bob Gruin and Bob is an amazing photographer.

He took the famous photo of John Lenon on the streets of New York wearing a little hat. Very good, sweet. that Michael Jackson playing basketball as a kid absolutely these are limited edition unreleased copies of Neil Preston and yeah the heart rock got it it's amazing I mean it's just amazing and what is this here so actually this is a collage also by Neil Preston about Leed Zeppelin, this is him on tour for seven years with these guys. I mean, he was around like in the Epic 7 when rock bands traveled around in their own Jets and the stories he must have, oh yeah, but this Rick is really what I wanted. show you this is the Holy Grail of the entire collection so this is at Wembley stadium in 1986 it's Freddy Mercury he was like no other singer in the world has ever seen um that's the opportunity to make money yes exactly this is another thing of the old Prestons, yes, David Bowie, for example, 1972, Bruce Springsteen in Japan, then we have Stevie Nicks in his dressing room, this is incredible, some photographers are famous and some of them are legends, so you acquired all this from the Hard Rock.

I did. I have 5050 pieces. and how much do you want? I want 150,000 for him. Okay, it's a lot of money. I want to call someone to look at them and make sure everything is legit, so give me five minutes. I'm going to make a phone call. and we will leave there absolutely fine and I will return right away, no problem. I wish I was a rock star instead of a

pawn

star Neil, how are you doing? Hey, good to see you rich, Rich, this is Neil Preston, the legend. rock and roll photographer of all time, if you want to put it that way, I've worked very closely with Leed Zeppelin, Queen Michael Jackson, the list is pretty endless, a lot of them are yours and you just have a lot of questions, um, First of all, is that right? a whole Hard Rock jit, well I'll tell you that it all looks very familiar and it was definitely all hung up on Hard Rock, so you took the photo in '86, yes, that photo was taken at Wembley stadium in 1986, which It was the year after I lived, I mean, right at the bottom it says 13 of 15, so there were only 15 of these made and this is the correct number 13.

We had a platinum addition made from what is now a very famous photo of Freddy Mercury. then I signed it personally and wrote his name and where it was filmed and everything, and it's authentic. I mean they toured with them, right, yeah I did and I actually brought them a copy of my new Queen book and just to show them. there's the famous shot which is quite surprising, the son in the background and like L, I'm sure if he did that pose more than three or four times in a concert he would seriously hurt himself, well he was quite elastic, I must say uh. sometimes when the star is aligned you make it, Michael Jackson, yes, I haven't seen them in a long time because they were hanging on the rock in the heart of one of the restaurants and they are the only prints I have made from those frames.

See Michael when he was 11 or 12 playing basketball and these photographs were taken at the famous Jackson family compound in Enino, California so those are the only ones that exist and are correct, they have never been displayed anywhere else and, in fact, they are unique. okay, um, and everything is legit and great, everything is completely legit, legit, we can check all the boxes right, absolutely fine. I'm talking big money here. I just want to call Chad, my art guy, get his opinion and we'll go from there, no problem, okay, I'll be right back. Confirmed artist, it's 150,000 reais.

I have a lot to think about, so um. the Hard Rock collection wants $150,000 for 50 pieces this is probably the most incredible thing here what do you think $150,000 is a lot of money on the one hand, on the other hand I mean have you ever seen anything like that from Michael Jackson before Michael? Jackson is incredibly popular here and even more popular in Europe to this day, these alone as one of the Neil Preston's, if in good condition these could easily go for $40,000 okay so the first thing I did when I entered for the first time was that they caught me. eye and this so this is a platinum print it is the rarest print it is the most complicated to make just making this print if it were nothing it would cost $1,000 but this is one of the most iconic photographs, if not the most iconic photograph of the queen I know that 6 8,000 is not a problem, so if I buy all of these 50 pieces and sell them individually, I can probably sell them within a year.

I'd say that's about right how much you think I'll get retail for these things. it's really cool Neal Preston Led Zeppelin Bob gruan kiss the most iconic kiss photographer Johnny Rotten Michael Jackson Deborah Harry who doesn't love Deborah Harry let's all this together retail 200,000 okay if I get the stuff I'll give you a call and I'll make you knowing what happened maybe I'll pick up a part of you that's fantastic thanks man congratulations on the collection it's really cool thank you so much that's why you've been in the art business for a while. Okay, there isn't a gallery in the world that will pay $150,000 for $200,000 worth of art that will take them a year to sell, so this figure should be around 90,000, let's get to 130, most of the stuff I have to stake out. 95, how are you? 100 well, I guess I'll pay 100 grand, so thank you very much.

I'm going to call my store. I'm going to bring the truck here. I will pay you very well. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. You're welcome RI this is incredible now the only difficult thing is not to take everything home and put it on my walls
