Rick tengo un cuadro de 1874 de jesucristius de 14 colores degabriel max el austriaco coleccion pribada del museo demanhatan cuanto balera el cuadro
Bonjour du Canada Escuados are from Portugal not Spain
Seller: I got this super rare diamond that was on an asteroid
Rick: how much you want for it
Seller: $250,000
Rick: that’s a lot of money, let me call an expert to see if it’s real
Expert: wow this diamond is a one of a kind. This is the holy grail
Rick: ok but how much is it worth?
Expert: this could sell for 1 million
Seller: wow! That’s great.
EXPERT LEAVES
Rick: so how much you want for it?
seller: you heard the guy 1 million
Rick: LMAO, $20,000 dollars is my best offer and I’m taking a huge risk
Sir i have old coins here ..how to sell in your pawnshop
RIP, The Old Man. He loved silver. He wanted to melt a silver Mount Rushmore sculpture because he would rather have the silver scrap. 😂. RIP, Richard Harrison!
He did. However, silver has been one of the absolute worst investments over the last 20 years. It was actually worth the same in 2008 as it is now.
@gene bigs yep, but lots think it’s undervalued. I think cryptocurrency destroyed all of that because why wouldn’t I store my wealth in something so much more portable
@watchdealer11 cryptocurrency isn’t the best conductor of electricity known to man. It’s is also completely imaginary, where as silver isn’t.
@Tony Soprano But….he was a soft jelly roll. He literally looked like he never did a day of hard work in his life. Soft lil adorable hands, triple chin with jowls, big ol’ belly….he looked like Santa’s stunt double. But I enjoyed watching him, he was cool.
I can’t imagine the disappointment of their ancestors/grandparent ‘s spirit watching them pawn off their most prized possessions to some bald guy in Vegas 😩
You’d think they had better things to do.
And then they rush into the nearest casino and blow all the money on the slots machines.
Does that mean they wouldn’t be disappointed if they sold them to Corey or Chumlee or Rick’s dad since they had hair?
@AudieHolland I would hope that they would blow their money in a casino at the slots soon after that since it’s rare to see the seller get a higher offer than they came in asking for, so it’s disappointing to not see them take that offer.
The luck that is involved in finding a coin like some of these is just about the same as winning the jackpot on a scratch off or a lottery
I love it when an expert comes in and values an item higher than the initial asking price 😊👍🏻
I do as well but I’m still skeptical I still think they undervalue these things.
@James Fair of course they do. The pawn shop is the one giving them money for their consultation and evaluations. They obviously want to keep that relationship going, so they’re going to quote the low end of the price range, since that is better for the shop.
@RavenCoder the history channel is. Its all a setup with a fun format for tv
@smokeysify History Channel is the distributor, not the producer of the show. That would be Leftfield Pictures. I’m not sure how much they pay expenses, but any shop that deals in antiques will have outside consultants to detect forgeries and provide valuations on any expensive purchases. You don’t stay in business by spending $20k on a fake Pollock.
Yeah. At least the experts are not lowballing these people
Imagine Rick trying to negotiate his own Bar tab…
I negotiated bus fare for A F’s mom. I would’ve sprung for an Uber, but she wouldn’t give up the brown eye
Rick really looked like he was having a hard time trying to decide whether or not to pay $11,000 for an $18,000 coin.
Exactly
I think he was lamenting he didn’t buy it for $2k when he had the chance.
would sell for way more on the right action
Agree ahahaha. Poker face lolz
I would have told him 15k bottom dollar
You can tell the people who have never owned a business. “Sounds like $18,000 to me…”
You should always start high. Pawn shops will low ball you otherwise
you can tell the people who dont realise this show is fake….
@Milan Shah But it comes across as ungrateful if you’re asking exactly what it’s appraised at. He should have asked no more than $17,000 after the expert said it was $18,000.
@BardiaSaeedi It doesn’t matter if it’s fake. Whether or not it’s real, is completely irrelevant. Also, unless there’s proof that it’s fake, like behind the scenes footage to prove it, then it’s just your opinion.
Indeed.
lesson: never give your valuable collections to your grandchildren 🤣🤣
Lesson: If you have something valuable that belonged to your grandfather, sell it.
@lazer 23 Be smart to know that its valuable. Most people sell their grandfather’s valuable collections for dirt cheap.
I was thinking the same thing.
Mine are being buried with me
I’ve been a Pawn Stars fan for a very long time and I love every era of the show, but this video was the first time I’ve watched some of these older clips since they aired and holy cow I think the editor was on something when he prepared these. The speed adjustments in the second clip are an absolute earsore.
I really do appreciate all the hard work that the team has put in to improve the cast performances and presentations, particularly during the COVID era. It’s older clips like the ones featured in this video that truly showcase just how much progress everyone has made.
A visual was an earsore? Huh. That’s a new one.
Seller: “I have the holy grail Jesus drank from”
Rick: “Lemme call a buddy, he was one of the 12 disciples”
😄😄😄😄
There’s one particular disciple you wouldn’t want to be calling…
It’s a used cup. Best I can do is 10 bucks.
Got to get it framed trust me I’m taking all the risks
@Maurice O’Ray II OMG!!!! 😂😂
None of the customers in the background have ever spoke once in a single episode, man I love how Rick only sells to the mute community. Great guy.
@William Wilson wooooosh
It’s edited to be mute they are talking
@Michael Gillilan no they are paid extras
it’s a TV show. to have someone speak costs money and messes with the sound
Seller: I got this super rare diamond that was on an asteroid
Rick: how much you want for it
Seller: $250,000
Rick: that’s a lot of money, let me call an expert to see if it’s real
Expert: wow this diamond is a one of a kind. This is the holy grail
Rick: ok but how much is it worth?
Expert: this could sell for 1 million
Seller: wow! That’s great.
EXPERT LEAVES
Rick: so how much you want for it?
seller: you heard the guy 1 million
Rick: LMAO, $20,000 dollars is my best offer and I’m taking a huge risk
Take it or leave it 🤷♂️
I would have thought that first coin was fake. It looked to perfect. Awesome it was real and worth a bunch. Seller made out really good and got his price. 9000 dollars more than he was asking. Cool that Rick has the experts to help. Made a difference here. Was fun to watch. Great video
Assuming any of that interaction was remotely real, the seller completely screwed himself. It would have been EASY to get another 10k for that coin if he didn’t bring it to a pawn shop lol
@bigbowlowrong You go to a pawn because you need money. It’s probably too big of a hasle to find the right buyer if you are in need of cash
i have quite a few roman ancient coins that are authentic/purchased directly off catalogues which i also have.. inherited. theyre in perfect condition.
Me encanta sus programas y también todas sus Notificaciones porque de verdad Aprendo A negociar mis Monedas
nothing better than Rick hearing the price he wants and quickly going from smiling to acting all conflicted, just so the seller thinks he’s getting the better of him.
The old man was one in a million
Imagine all the great stories that man had.
And he was so cool
I love his attitude
it’s a shame the script didn’t allow him to mention anything about himself beyond “I was in the military”
You know the show was nearly 100% scripted, right? Unless you knew him personally, none of what you said is true. He was playing a character, as they all were.
I love that your upfront about everything. That you lay it all out like it is. Also your videos are very informative so thank you.
Coins are slowly but surely fascinating me. Both gold and silver
I like how everyone expects full price at a pawn shop lol. Expert says it’s worth 10 grand, customer wants 10 grand knowing it won’t happen 😂😂
