Pawn Stars Chumlee Gets RIPPED OFF FOR $1,399,999!

In season five, a man came in looking to sell an old baseball card that had been passed down from his family. The rare 1909 Siyoung card was in poor condition, but since Rick's expert was not available at the time, he decided to take a chance and got it right. a deal with the seller for $300, however, when the sports memorabilia specialist came to the

pawn

shop to look at the card later that day, he didn't have the best news for Rick since Siyoung was one of the most respectable pitchers in all time and He had such a great influence on baseball that he even had an award named after him.

This rare player card in mint condition could sell for over $10,000 at auction, but the card Rick had purchased was missing a corner and looked quite battered. The expert estimated its value at no more than $200 to $250, meaning that Rick had paid so much that he wouldn't even break even in the season 4 episode, Shooters. Rick was offered a custom 1915 Ford Model T, a first generation custom Ford model that has enormous sentimental value to any gearhead a grandpa new silver 1915 Model T cab according to Danny Koker this Model T cab had value estimated at $29,000 and Rick ended up buying it for 21k, this seems like a decent deal but it turned out it was far from it, the car not only had an aftermarket 4 cylinder Chevy engine but also a modern turnkey ignition system, as well as a built-in CD player, which is not good if you like old cars.

Rick finally managed to sell the car for twenty-nine thousand seven hundred dollars at a barrett-jackson auction but after commissions that left him with twenty-three thousand seven hundred and sixty dollars which gives him a profit of only two thousand seven hundred and sixty dollars plus the cost of storage, transportation, taxes, transfer and repair, and you'll see that ultimately this was a pretty big flop in season 16, a guy broke into the Gold & Silver

pawn

shop to get rid of a non-flaming thrower from Musk's boring company Well, he had certainly found the right man in Chumlee. Its asking price of $2,400 was still much more than Chum was willing to pay.

The Pawn Stars offered him $800 and although Chum was sure his boss wouldn't be happy, he just couldn't resist and finally made a deal at 2:00 PM as expected. Rick wasn't exactly thrilled and immediately had Chum call the expert Alex to find out if the flamethrower worked and although Alex was very excited about the item, unfortunately he valued it at around $1,200, this deal could have been a scam on my friend's part at first, but in the end it turned out that he He was the one who had paid a lot, he paid 49 dollars for it, no, you paid fourteen hundred dollars for it.

I offer you 1200 if it works. I love you. to see how it worked, luckily, Rick decided to let Chum buy the flamethrower for only $1,200, meaning he was actually the one who ended up wasting $200 of his store's money, while Rick and Corey are usually pretty sensible when it comes down to it. It's about costs. They just can't seem to help themselves when it comes to vintage cars, so when the father and son duo attended an auction in Florida a while ago they ended up making an impulse purchase, but unfortunately the 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner turned out to be quite a purchase. bad too.

Corey came across the vintage car at an auction in Florida that he and Rick were attending and it ended up being another impulse purchase after spending forty-five thousand dollars on the car despite knowing it didn't have the original Corian engine. Rick then decided to drive it back to Las Vegas, which obviously isn't a great idea if you're looking to sell the car or okay, don't even start after spending another seven thousand eight hundred dollars in commissions, the guys still couldn't find a buyer and since roadrunners can be found selling for between 30,000 and 50,000, it looks like this will turn out to be another big flop even though he is a pretty smart businessman in real life who started his own merchandise. company and opened a candy store with his brother, among other things, Chumlee still has the reputation of being the lovable fool on Pawn Stars and sometimes it seems like he is doing everything he can to maintain this reputation, most of the time it seems like he is Chumlee who is earning something. bad deals at the store and one of them was made during a season 15 episode when he made a rather unfortunate guess about the value of seven boxes of old comics;

The seller had originally asked for $2,000 before settling with Chumlee at 500 this This is how you do it yourself in this business when these will be worth five thousand dollars. I'll be the one to receive the reward after an expert reviewed the comics and concluded that they would sell for about $200 if the pawn The

were lucky, naturally Rick was pretty upset about the whole thing so they're basically worthless nothing, no, they're worthless, thanks for stopping by anytime, I appreciate it, okay, thanks for the bad news, every time someone offers up pawn

stars

for an old car, they have a It was pretty hard to say that no, but unfortunately that has lost Harrison's shop quite a bit of money over the years in season two, for example, Rick was offered a 1964 Austin-Healey sprite, a small British sports car designed to fit in bike sheds which originally cost around eighteen hundred. dollars according to the owner, the car was in very good condition and only needed a little tune up even though the car would not start when Rick wanted to test drive it and decided to make an offer since Austin Healey's are popular collector's items. in the U.S.

The owner wanted to sell it for $10,000 but Rick beat him to it and finally bought it for only half that. It seemed like a good deal at the time, but when Rick took the car to his friend looking for a simple solution to resell it at a higher price, he received bad news instead of the three-for-$400 tune-up Rick had been on. expecting. He came to know that it would cost him around six thousand dollars to fix the car, that is, a thousand dollars more than what he had paid for it. To begin with, this started. I should have told him to call a tow truck.

I gave him five thousand. This might be one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made knowing that he had made a huge mistake. Rick obviously wasn't looking. I can't wait to tell the old man and for good reason, although no money was lost yet as Rick decided to try to sell the Austin-Healey in the condition it was in, the old man was clearly not at all happy with the mistake the old man made. rich. from the hip sometimes it hits the mark sometimes it misses the damn target and that costs us money and I hate losing money on an episode of Pawn Stars a studio musician named Vic Flick came to Rick Harrison looking to sell a 1961 Fender Stratocaster Rick He decided to buy the guitar for $55,000 since it had a lot of history and had been played by great talents.

However, Vic Flick isn't exactly a legend or even a household name and most of the songs the guitar was used on weren't exactly big hits, so When Rick set the resale price at $90,000, the guitar started to gather dust until the next auction came around, but things got even worse for Rick, as the Fender Stratocaster eventually sold for just $20,000, leaving Rick with a loss of $35,000. Rick is usually the one doing the preaching. caution when it comes to expensive items that need authentication, however, he was the one who made a big mistake in season 6 when he was offered a book that was supposedly signed by baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson, whose signatures are one of the rarer to find even.

Although Rick was skeptical about the whole thing, since it is the most forged sports signature in the world and the seller's certificate of authenticity was also quite questionable, he decided to purchase the book for $13,000; However, after spending all that money, his book expert Rebecca told him. that the signature was probably forged and when Rick got a second opinion from an authenticator, here's the devastating news that not only was it fake but it was also ridiculously poorly done, great job son, pretty much like a lot of things who say it's fake, just shut up. A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro z/28 is an absolute classic, so Cory couldn't resist when he was offered one.

He purchased the classic car for a whopping $40,000 simply because he wanted to own the car personally, however, his father was having none of that. Instead, he complained about Cory's wasteful habits and tried to sell the car for $65,000 in various places. Ric later dropped it to $50,000, but the Camaro simply didn't sell and a quick look online will show that even today Haggerty values ​​the car at just $36,000, which is 4 grand less than Cory spent on it and, Far from generating profits for the pawn shop, as mentioned above, the guys at Gold & Silver Pawn Shop loved classic cars, in fact, they liked them so much that they can't seem to. to learn from past mistakes when it comes to vintage vehicles in the season 3 episode, case closed, for example, a woman offered them a 1974 Lotus Europa, a fairly small car that was quite popular in its time and one Only 9,300 were produced between 1966 and 1975, so Rick knew this was a pretty rare offering and ended up purchasing the car for $13,000 despite its popularity and impeccable condition;

However, the car sat in the shop for a year, which finally led Rick to give it a try. I sold it for $1,000 less than I had paid for it but it wasn't until Pawn Stars brought the Lotus to eBay that they finally sold it for fifteen thousand three hundred and fifty dollars for it although this was more than I had paid for it. with shipping costs to the winning bidder, Ric was left with a marginal or possibly even negative profit.
