I don’t know what was nicer, the lady understanding Rick having to make money off of it by halving her price down or Rick being honest by giving her an extra grand
i find both really cool, unlike 99% of the comment, complaining about it.
NWAZ flatEarther it’s a reality show
I like turtles
@The_ConQueeftador he sold that for 9k man lol bot 100k
NWAZ flatEarther it sort of is how this show works is they do reenactments after the actual event
“ill take 5000”
rick: “Best i can do is 6000”
looool
Yo deadass🤣🤣😂🤣
and he sold it for 9grand
Alex wow rick I don’t think that was him
Even Rick feels bad about scamming sweet old ladies, huh.
Lots and lots of respect to Rick for doing that
One of the best experts – it’s be interesting to see a series on what he does.
She wanted $10,000, and was shocked when it was worth that much. Then she lowballs herself 😨
jms980 she didn’t lowball herself. She understands how this kind of transactions work and she was willing to take 5 grand for that. It’s not lowballing, it’s a smart move: she avoided a long, annoying trade by demanding a fair price (or just little lower than fair) since she just wanted to get rid of that.
It’s called humility.
She’s just a kind old lady. Bless.
I would hav kept it
She wanted 5k she doubled the initial price to have same room to negotiate in a pawnshop
Did Rick just offer more money than he was offered?
Now this is truly subverting expectations
They are on tv they need to.
unlike dnd
he sell this sword about 8000
@pretty boy It was sold by 9000 to Dana White
robTCGZ what a nice guy aye
“I want $5000.”
“You’re taking all the risk, I can only do $6000.”
Chris of STARS That is very rare
hahaha
He just sold for 30000 to Dana White
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
“i don’t take advantage of people”, said no pawn shop owner ever in history
Cameras
When ur on tv it matters
Unless you’re on national TV, that is…
They’re already rich. They can afford to be ethical.
it is already on history 🥴
He’s not taking advantage on that old lady. Respect!
I’d say cameras, but maybe not
You know the show is scripted right?
He did. That swords worth atleast 15,000 according to how old it is and the stories behind it. He also is a sword collector he knows how much it’s worth.
@Wynn Ahn He also knows he has to get the sword restored as best as possible from an expensive sword restoration expert.
Then there’s the matter of whether or not he puts it up in an auction which auction houses usually take a cut out of.
You also have to wait for potential buyers and that could take months or years. Where would she know where or how to sell it?
If you post it on ebay or something, people might not believe it. She’s an old lady, people who go to pawn stuff want or need money asap, that’s why they go there. doyyyy.
@Wynn Ahn But he sold it to Dana White for 9k. I mean, after Dana bought 60k worth of other swords, that’s fair.
Compassion and consideration from both the buyer and the seller.. Hats off.. Do such people still exists on this planet..??
“I’ll take $5000″
Rick :”$6000”
“$4000 take it or leave it”
Rick:”Sorry we couldn’t make a deal”
😂
“Come back if you change your mind”😂
Lmao
im taking all the risk here.
Hajjajajaja
Since his father sadly left us, Rick is not only the brains there, he is the soul of the shop. It’s awesome to see how he makes business…
Corey would offer 1 thousand dollars and a bucket of fryed chicken, if that much…
I love the way Rick is quick to say an asking price is too low and offers a better deal. That’s good honesty right there.
if there were no cameras involved, and no tv show and rick was in a lot of debt he would have gave her 5.
40% margin is still robbery
Even though the sword was not very old, but it has a very historical value during the meji period, which is almost the end of the samurai era. Really hope this sword can be returned back to mother land of Japan and kept it in the museum. 🙂
Rick is a great guy … So honest and will offer more then the asking price if his friends give him and indication that it’s worth more
don’t be fooled, if the cameras weren’t rolling he’d barter her down to $3,500
I am absolutely addicted to these! I wish there was thousands of new ones 😂.
Of all the experts that Rick’s calling in everytime the samurai guy is my favourite.
Man just observe how he respectfully asking for permission to touch every sword on that shop and checking it with passion.
He probably genuinely enjoys his work and craft more for the work than the $
@Mike agree
And on how he pay respect for the swords.
Him, and the Museum guy (refuses to put a price on anything). They both are great 👍
Japanese people have a high respect in their selves
I think Rick was taken back by such a reasonable offer and her charm. How many times have people come on the show and immediately ask for the same amount as the apprised value.
man, you gotta love Rick. from his sense of humor to this show of honesty even when dealing with business where people are usually cold about it. Rick is fair. I love to see it
I sometimes get frustrated with Rick due to his stubbornness on some deals, but I gained a lot of respect for him for what he did here. Great dude
