Pawn Stars: HEATED MOMENTS with Customers

This was an affordable family boat. You know why? Because it was a small 17 foot boat. Not because it was fiberglass. No more wooden boats. The wooden boats were moving. Yes, fiberglass was coming to school in session. You just arrived at the schools. Sorry, this is my problem. with it it's like Lipstick On a Pig I mean, we have a terrible paint job, okay, it doesn't have the original engine. I realize all the flaws with this boat, that's not the point it's just the style and can you find one? find one, but it's still about making money and there's no money here for me.

Good morning friends, today we will show you all the

stars

in today's guitar market. A realistic selling price for this instrument would probably be twenty-five thousand dollars, that is absolutely ridiculous because it has been appraised over the years in the '90s, it was valued at a minimum of a hundred thousand and that was in the '90s. I only say this because I know what I just sold. I myself don't think anyone is going to take such a high step for that. Well, the guitar has been insured for a hundred thousand dollars or more.

I mean, I can insure my shoes for a hundred thousand dollars with an insurance company. I understand, but your number. It's not realistic, it's a really rare piece. The Les Paul prototypes at the Les Paul auction did not reach one hundred thousand dollars. Les Paul is credited with inventing the solid body electric guitar, which is why I give this one the 25,000 mark that I can in my eyes. I don't agree with your assessment. Oh yeah, we're right where we are. You know, it's really cool to see me see the guitar, but to be honest with you, I'm kind of glad I came out of there without a black eye.

I don't know what I know after 44 years. The Roman silver coin of Julius Caesar. A man named Ilya enters the store with a coin with a portrait of Julius Caesar from the month before he was assassinated. Well, I have a coin here. It is a portrait of Julio. Caesar from the month before his assassination. Okay, this coin is really interesting. Yes, is cool. Yes. I think I was actually Caesar in a different life. He is interested in selling the coin and believes it is a key piece for any historical coin collection. He hopes to sell it for forty-four hundred dollars but is not willing to accept a low offer.

I'm going to the store today because I have a coin with a portrait of Julius Caesar that I want to sell. I think it is a key piece for any historical coin collection. I hope to sell it for 4,400, but I love it, so I won't take any Lobo away from it. Intrigued by the coin and the historical significance it has after the assassination of Julius Caesar, there was a real power vacuum in Rome. and it wasn't until Octavio that he basically clarified everything. The best thing about this is that it is a 2000 year old coin with Caesar's face on it and I want it, however he is not an expert on ancient coins and calls David, an expert to evaluate. its authenticity and value, so are you looking to sell it?

Yeah, okay, how much did you expect to get? I made 4,400 please okay there are a million variables especially with ancient coins and frankly I don't know enough. I don't know if it's a good price or not. Do you mind if I have someone look at it? Please David confirm that the coin is genuine and authentic, but due to wear and tear in circulation it is valued at around fifteen hundred dollars, so is it real? Do you mind if I take it out and look at it? Yeah, sure, go ahead, the strike is perfect, the style is right, everything is fine, it's fine, it's perfectly genuine, so what do you think it's worth when you get a coin like this?

There is no shortage. from buyers when they are in fantastic condition, the best ones have brought in about two hundred thousand dollars each, that's fine, but there is a fair amount of wear that has been circulated and I think this is worth about fifteen hundred dollars retail, Minor, okay. Ilia is not happy with the price offered and becomes rude expressing that it seems almost ridiculous that someone would sell it so low, especially when they know its history. It seems almost so ridiculous to me that someone would sell it so low, especially when they know its history.

Well I'm basing it on what I've seen them sell, yes, stocks in Europe and the United States, but the decision is yours, thanks for coming, okay man, one last question, where can I get it? These, for such a low price, are swivel barrel rifles. A man came to sell two double barrel ball and swivel cap rifles to a

pawn

shop. What is this? They are hunting rifles. They are a 45 caliber two-shot percussion cap. They look twisted. These are the twisted weapons. They are old, possibly dating from the 1850s. Where did you get them? I'm a collector and bought them on a swap from some guy.

You can see the barrels rotate like this so you can load two shots at once, hit and then! twist it, take your second shot, I assume they were developed in 1870. The customer mentions that gun maker William Hart may have made the guns and that twist barrel rifles are quite rare and hard to come by, one of the interesting things in this is left handed oh okay that's something you rarely see I think so and from the inlays here I'm guessing this rifle was built by William Hart who is William you know I know he was a gun maker in XIX century. but I have not been able to discover much information about him by examining the weapons.

Rick realizes that he doesn't know enough about weapons and decides to call an expert to evaluate their value. The rifles are quite rare and one is left handed. It's even cooler, but when you don't have all the original parts it's hard to put a value on them. What do you want for them? I'd like to get two thousand dollars each for them. Just by looking at them, you have to admit what they are. That's cool, do you mind if I call someone to look at this stuff? I mean, I just don't know enough about them. No, that would be great.

I would like to learn more about them myself. The expert expresses that the condition of the weapons is not good and they are not original, but are made from kits that use older and newer parts. These are not old guns from kits, they are making them where you find a lot of old parts like the lock and the stock, and you make the barrels, the metal is very old, the trigger guard here has a lot of pits, they were made in the decades from 1830's and 1840's, so this gun is a variety of older and newer pieces.

Great, explain that these types of weapons were developed around the 1830s when the percussion cap was first introduced, so this piece that William Hart says would have been recycled from the 1830s, possibly some of the pieces are 19th century, but unfortunately these swivel barrel rifles were made from scrap at some point in the 20th century. They are made to be collected, these weapons were made to be fired. Weapons like this have been around since the 1830s, but these are not those weapons. At first the customer was looking for four loaves for the pair, but in the end Rick paid 1400.

I mean, They're really great and I think they'll sell, but I mean, they are what they are, but they have a freshness to them. What is your body? 1500. Go to 14, we'll call it a deal. Okay, 14.50, $1,400, thank you. The deal was finally made but the client was still angry at the expert for not giving a higher price. Thank you, if I return, it would be interesting to have the same appraiser. Sometimes I would like to slap him, but that's just me. 1958 Glastron boat. a seller comes with a 1958 Glastron boat that he wants to sell with a boat that he wants to sell, so Chum and I are going to go check it out.

Oh, there's no story at all. This boat was manufactured in 1958 by a committed company called Glastron. There are probably only 150 of these ships left. Rick and Drumley are excited to see the boat as it has a unique and iconic design reminiscent of the famous 1957 Chevy. Oh cool, it was 1958 and everyone loved the styling of the '57 Chevy, so let's go out with it. boat that looks like a 57 chevy this 150 chevy they had a paint scheme they called black widow i don't normally buy boats they are money pits but this thing is cool it looks like the 57 chevy I bought for old man's birthday it's definitely tempting because it's an iconic icon the seller explains that he has another project in mind and is looking to get ten thousand five hundred dollars for the boat.

Today I went to the pawn shop to sell my 1958 Glastron C flight that I have. There's another project in mind and it turns out it's another boat with big fins. I would like to get 10,500 for that boat because you can't find another boat like that. Rick and Chumley inspect it and, while they appreciate the unique design and style, point out several problems. You have all the original chrome and everything appears to be here. This was an affordable family boat. But do you know why? Because she was a 17 foot little boat. No, because she was fiberglass. No more wooden boats.

The wooden boats were moving. Yes, fiberglass was coming to school in session. You just arrived at the schools. They noticed that the boat has a bad paint job and is not in its original condition. The original engine is missing. So what do you want to do with it? I want to sell it, for how much? you want 10-5, this is my problem, it's like lipstick on a pig. I mean, we have a terrible paint job, she's fine, she doesn't have the original engine. They also mentioned that these bows are difficult to sell and that I may not make an offer, the seller is disappointed and leaves the store.

I realize all the flaws of this boat. That's not the point, it's just the style. Can you even find one? The thing is finding one, but it's still about making money and there's no money here for me, I mean I wish I could do something, it's just that I don't even want to make an offer, there's a lot of work to do to make something actually available. okay, okay, okay, thanks for bringing it up. handsome hudson bay man a man walked into the pawn shop saying he had a rare and valuable item he wanted to sell came to the pawn shop today to see if he could sell my purse hudson or jay hudson bay is one of the oldest companies in In the world, I want to try to get a hundred thousand out of it, but I'll have to see what it offers.

Rick greeted him with a friendly smile and asked him what he had brought. The men brought out a small piece of intricately crafted jewelry that they claimed was a Hudson Bay Gorge that was built around 1700. I have a main Hudson Bay Gorge from around the year 1700. Hi Rick, what's up? Rick had heard about the beautiful Hudson Bay before, but he had never seen one in person. These go back a long time, I mean. Even the Romans had them, it was to defend themselves from a knife or a pain in the neck. I know that the Hudson's Bay Company was one of the oldest companies in North America.

They were a commercial company. You know, they basically traded with the Indians. Hello, old Rick. he made Pioneer be in his store maybe an hour to use something like that. I don't think it fits your head. Parker knew they were highly sought after by collectors and historians, but he was skeptical of the man's claim that this one was worth it. 100 thousand dollars, it seems they made it, it could have been a trade piece for the Indians, it is Venetian glass and the glass beads are completely normal. They had to change something to the Indians for this.

They didn't want cash, they didn't want coins, yes. I wanted things and how much do you want for them for about a hundred thousand. You know, I don't see that happening. Rick noticed that the metal was a strange color and didn't seem to match the description of the beautiful Hudson Bay that he had read about. He explains that zinc wasn't isolated until the 19th century and that this ruff can't be from the 18th century because you see this strange shallow gray patina on the top, yeah, okay, that tells me right away that it's nickel silver, okay , they are right. about 20 zinc 20 copper 60 nickel zinc was not really isolated until the 19th century the men seemed surprised Rick said that based on his knowledge and experience, the gorget was worth significantly less than a hundred thousand dollars and he offered the customer a thousand dollars for the piece. but the customer refused and left the store disappointed.

What are you talking about? Sonic, you're out of line. Basically, I'm just trying to tell you that I'm not being harassed yet. I've seen auctions for these things and they usually go for around $1500. Okay, I'd offer you a thousand dollars. I know you're smoking, but that's not going to work, so I'm going to grab my things and leave. Have a good day. The Blue Gospel of Sammy Mosley. Guitar, the customer selling this guitar claims that it is a prototype of the Mosley semi personal guitar. I guess it's a guitar, not just any guitar, this is Mosley's prototype semi personal blue gospel guitar, a Moe right.

Hallelujah, the seller claims that the guitar is fine. known and included in the celebrity registry and wants to sell it for a hundred thousand dollars, so if this is the real prototype of the gospel there will definitely be a market for me to sell this, how much do you want for it? Well, it's the weirdest. The prototype guitar that exists at a high energy auction would cost between 200 and 250 thousand. I know this is not an auction, but I would actually accept a hundred thousand for it. Rick asks the expert to verify this piece. The expert inGuitars said it is well documented and probably dates back to 1967 or '68 and confirms it as the prototype gospel guitar.

It is a fairly well documented guitar. There are a couple of things I can get a date on. The Mosley tailpiece for one of the most correct in California. pickups the style of the knobs I would say this guitar is probably 67 or 68. the serial numbers ga-009 this is the prototype gospel guitar, however the expert rated it at 25 Grand which made the customer very sad. What do you think it's worth? I have seen one of the major rights of Johnny Ramon that was very well documented and played guitar and sold for about thirty five forty thousand dollars on the guitar market.

Today, a realistic selling price for this instrument would probably be twenty-five thousand dollars, which is absolutely ridiculous because it has been appraised over the years. In the '90s it was praised for a minimum of a hundred thousand dollars and that was in the '90s. I'm just saying, knowing what I just sold recently, I don't think anyone is going to step up that high for it. Well, the guitar has been insured for a hundred thousand dollars or more. I mean, I can insure my shoes for a hundred thousand. dollars with an insurance company. I understand, but your number is not realistic.

The cold sculpture a customer brings a statue to a pawn shop claiming it is a limited edition bronze statue by French sculptor Emile Piccolt from 1888. So what can you tell me? This thing was made in 1888 by French culture Emil Picard. Okay, Rick, that's a quality piece. I don't know the sculptor. The cold was an artist in France. He was born in the 1830s, around 1915. He did a lot of methodological things. Rick inspects the statue and tells the customer that it is not original and is probably a replica. He points out specific details of the statue, such as a crack in the patina that indicates it was later recast.

The patina looks good. What doesn't look good is There's some pity here and that crack there is from when they did the casting, it didn't happen later, if it's an original the casting will be fine, to be honest I don't know how to answer, I think this was probably rephrased. 40 50 years ago, long after Bacall's death, the client becomes defensive and insists that the statue is authentic, why would they do that? That's exactly what I'm saying here, you have the Francais collection, you see this, yes, he says made in USA below. If this wasn't made in 1888, the original was made in 1888.

I don't believe you, okay, I mean, I just don't see 1800 here, it's an American foundry in the 1950s, what you've seen and can try are two different. stories, but Rick remains steadfast in his assessment of him and ultimately refuses to purchase the item the customer leaves dissatisfied. It's not as old as the state says. I do not care what you say. I don't care what you tell me, but I know you. "I'm full of you, you know it's okay Antoine, I got it, I got it, that's just what I'm saying, we could be wrong, we don't know we're in business to make money when we're not comfortable with something we do." I'm picking up my 1995 World Series ring.

A customer named Terry walks into the pawn shop looking to sell a 1995 Atlanta Braves World Series ring. I have the Atlanta Braves World Series ring. 1995, oh, that's a great year the '90s team got. They were there seven times and finally won the World Series in '95. They're like the Buffalo Bills of the '90s, they just couldn't do it. Corey and Chumlee were ready to deal with it and evaluate the ring after a brief examination. that the ring was a staff ring that typically sells for less than a player's ring. The first championship rings were awarded to the Giants in 1922, when they beat the Yankees.

The design was fairly basic and only featured one diamond, but in the 1970s championship rings became more eye-catching. with lots of diamonds, so it's not a big surprise that these things can cost a lot of money. You know, there's a pretty big difference when it comes to staff and player rings. I mean, everyone wants a player's ring because he was a bad guy who actually won the World Series. Terry was hoping to get $13,000 for the ring, but Corey and Chumley offered him $4,000. They wanted to make sure they were getting the best deal possible, so they decided to call in an expert to verify authenticity and value. of the ring, do you mind if I have a friend, come and take a look at it, how come what?, uh, I'd like to get the money and get out of here, you know, right now, if you have to make me accept an offer, I'm going to offer you four thousand dollars because it's a staff ring.

My guy could come and tell you it's worth a little more. Ah, that's fair, okay, let me call him and I'll be right back after a thorough examination. The expert confirmed that the ring is just a sample ring. Unfortunately, this isn't even a staff ring. This is what they call a seller sample that is provided to the team so they can look at the ring and see if they like to try it on and they make them from there. We know this for two main reasons: one, the inside of the band and it doesn't have Johnson's logo on it and he also gives it to Turner, which is Ted Turner, the owner of the team.

Turner isn't a guy who needs to sell his ring or sell it to make a few quick bucks, so there's no doubt this is what we'd call a salesman's show. Terry was shocked to learn that the ring was not authentic. Really disappointed, they brought in a Bozo from the street. I don't know where it came from. All of a sudden he walks in the door and he's a baseball expert, so I don't know. He disappointed me a lot. Fred Coats, Pistol, 1884 Colt revolver. Believed to have belonged to Fred Coats and used in the Field Wars. I have an 1884 Colt that was in the Wyoming Field Wars and the book that goes with it.

There's nothing like a good book after a good shot, that's what I always do. Let's say the current owner is trying to sell the gun for 55,000. He came here today to sell a gun owned by Fred Coats who was intimately involved in the Wyoming Wars. I'm hoping to get 55,000 but I'd settle for 45,000 because my mom is the money, but the authenticity of the gun's history and its connection to the coats must be verified by an expert before any sale can be made, although it is definitely a cult of the Single Action Army. These are considered better days, the nickel wears on you.

I can say I was in someone's holster every day. You know, I know what a revolver like this is and this shape is worth it. My problem is that I need to find out if this trainer really owns it, so let me get someone here and they will tell me. If it really belonged to this guy, okay, I'll be right back. Rick called the expert and after examination the expert felt that this is not authentic proof so it appears to be a notarized letter providing some of the provenance of the particular piece that was passed down through the Coates family now One of the things that immediately catches my attention is that this documentation is done in two different ink colors and then this part that directly references the cult appears in a different ink color, you too?

I think this actually belonged to the coats, basically, with what we have here. It's very difficult to make that connection. Rick offered him fifteen hundred dollars, but he immediately rejected the offer. I followed the ancestor. I did it all. I'm serious. It goes straight to the Fred coats. I know you wanted more than $50k, but the offer I'd make you is for a cold, beat-up Single Action Army, so if I give you like $1,500, yeah, I'm not going to do it, I'm just not going to be. I can do that I think maybe I'll see if I can get more Providence better luck next time thanks Photo of Abraham Lincoln Rick has a client who claims to have a photo of Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd yes I would like to sell a photo of Mary and Abraham Lincoln, I think in 1863.

I thought Abe just took pictures by himself, what are you talking about? Oh, he's right, are you jealous? Rick has serious doubts about the authenticity of the photograph and calls in an expert Maureen to help him. Rate it Maureen, how are you doing? Here we go, gorgeous, this is supposed to be Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln. Yes, I have my doubts. Do you mind if I take a look? Maureen examines the photograph and points out several differences between the individuals. in the photograph and the real Abraham and Mary, like the differences in the shape of their noses, eyes and faces, this is a really beautiful photograph, it is the Amber type, as you know, the Amber type, they enhanced the cheeks and the lips to make them look more real.

So Abraham Lincoln was a very distinctive looking individual and he had a particular style of beard. You have to look at everything in the photograph, from what they're wearing to what type of image it is and then what's going on with the face. She also uses facial comparison. software to compare the photograph with known images of Abraham Lincoln. I know why you think this is Abraham Lincoln because he has that sort of gaunt shape on his head, but there's another thing we can look at and that's the facial comparison software, so it actually sets one face on top of the other they have to be same size every size of them, what is that?

Resize the heads, then I use a caliper and check the eyes and they match. Maureen concludes that, in her professional opinion, the photograph is not of Abraham and married to Todd Lincoln, but I've been doing this for a long time, and a lot of people come to me saying they'll come to me in 10 years to be honest with God. I know what you think. this is worth a million dollars no you would like it to be worth a million dollars and all I'm saying is that in my opinion it's not Abraham Lincoln someone is making a mistake so your opinion is that it's not real it's not thanks for coming Rick Thank you Maureen for your experience and inform the customer that this deal will not happen.

Well, you heard Marine. Okay, so I appreciate it. Like I said, we can agree to disagree. Yes, thank you very much. Incredibly, the customer's behavior towards Maureen was rude and unprofessional. but I feel like an expert I look for other things besides just the face I look at the clothes I look at the background if I look anything goes it's not a problem it's your career you have the right to discredit yourself Angel Cruise painting the The client is trying to sell a painting that he believes is the oldest known by Angel Coos, an American painter known for painting American Indians.

I believe this is the oldest known painting of Anger House and I believe it was painted by him when he was approximately 12 13 years old. years, okay, I know he did some impressionist paintings, do you know how to differentiate between impressionism and post-impressionism, not blurry, extra blurry, the client wants to sell it for fifty thousand dollars, what did you want? I was told it could possibly be worth between 75,000 and 100,000 for the right collector, but I would feel comfortable letting it go for around fifty,000. Rick is skeptical about the authenticity of the painting and he will need to verify the history and authenticity of it before making an offer. something here I don't know if it's 50 thousand dollars, but there could be something here.

I have a friend coming anyway, so tell him to look at it, I'll get his opinion and we'll go there, okay? when I arrive here. we'll come and help you sounds great ok thanks. I think when the art appraiser comes in and looks at the painting, looks at the paperwork that I have, I think he'll say it's real, so he called Brett to talk about the painting after taking a closer look at it. Brett determined that the paint needs some repairs that will cost around five thousand dollars. You know it's in bad condition. It would take a lot of restoration just to bring this to truly marketable.

Please indicate how much it would cost to repair this. I'd probably be looking at about five thousand dollars. I think if you used a really competent conservator, they estimated that once the paint was repaired it could be worth around twenty thousand and if it were restored, what would it do? I think it would be worth it to a fine art collector if it were restored, it could be for the name, it could be a piece, you know, maybe twenty thousand dollars, but that's all you can put on it at the end, the deal is I didn't, I know it's not what you want to hear, no, I mean, but if you listen to it, you understand what he has to say, yeah, I totally get it, I know you wanted 50 grand for it, but I just don't see for a deal to occur. here it's too hard for me to sell it okay have a good man thank you very much this is where we will end our video we hope you enjoyed watching it be sure to comment hit like and subscribe buttons hit the notification bell . for more videos like this and share this video with your family and friends see you soon
