Let’s go Brandon!
@Real Ryder Brandon who?!
Would you do 1800?
Love this show ❤
I want to hear what an expert has to say about this piece…
20 bucks 😭😂😭
Everytime Rick doesnt bring in an expert, I believe that he doesnt do it because Rick already knows its worth and having an expert disclose it to the customer, would force Rick pay more than he would like to.
**in walks Steve Grad**
The expert will say whatever Rick has told him to say.
I think the value of that peice is in line with what the customer was asking… Rick’s offer was only about $1,000 over scrap value
That’s probably true… but it’s still a Pawn Shop. That’s just how any Pawn Shop owner will negotiate. The only time Rick pushes his offers up is when he’s looking at it as an investment for his own collection. If you really try to put yourself in Rick’s shoes… he has to always assume it wont sell. The only time he doesn’t worry about that is when an item is undoubtedly hot. Liberace doesn’t exactly have many fans walking around… at least without their grandson holding their arm, haha!
more like double scrap value.. But it wasn’t inline.. that necklace sold for $120,000 in 2018 🙂
@Wyn Williams wow! ,his offer was in line without any providence, its probably 15k just to buy one of these
@silence humility calmness it had a ton of provenance… And yes the whole is worth more then the parts in cases like that
The amount of good looking diamonds seems more than $3K value itself imo – rings with fewer sell for more eg engagement rings
I love how he says, “I could already see it in a display case, with a big fat price tag” but only offered 10K..🤣
Offers 10k sells for 20k or more
“Only offered 10K” let’s see you offer $10K for an old piece of jewelry 🤣 That’s a lot of money for any jewelry that isn’t a Rolex or ancient artifact.
@TonyisToking I’ve literally heard them say, “It’d be worth more if you had a picture of them wearing it.” Or, “If they were famous in Vegas, it’d be better in my shop.” This guy had both lol and Rick still tried to stiff him😅
I’m glad the man didn’t accept that offer…they where gonna offer it for sell at 20-50k in the pawn shop….smh
@Humble But Clowny, Rick tried to buy it without the Liberace provenance. But rest assured he would have included the Liberace provenance in his sell price.
Liberace was awesome. You could see his joy in entertaining and love of the music.
Definitely my fiances great uncle was a costume designer for liberace back in the day,
@Zachary camaj That must have been a nearly impossible job lol
I love when someone brings in everything properly to prove it’s real, Rick never brings in someone to say it’s value cause that’s when Rick tries to low ball someone dramatically
Would’ve been cool to see an expert put a value on this.
Every time he starts to explain all the details of the item to the customer I always have to say And here he goes with the history lesson again
Well it is on the history Channel 😂
I think he does it for the TV audience. It is a TV show after all.
Back in the 80’s my brother took our mother to Las Vegas, and they went to see Liberace. She was so thrilled when he came off stage and approached my mother, he asked her if she had any requests, and she said, can I dust your piano? Cracked me up.
Yeah I’m pretty sure she wanted to get blown out by Liberace
Get her too sing up the octave, with some rapid fingerings
Your Mom was awesome to say something like that , She gave him something to remember !
Good on the seller for not saying how much he paid. NEVER tell how much you paid for something
Right! You don’t want to feel humiliation on television because you overpayed big time for a golden POS.
He got in from an auction is public information 😂
Bought it for 4500
@Vehicle Ranks and sold it for 120,000
@OO🤪00 *source* “trust me bro”
Finally someone who’s smart enough not to disclose the paying price. That affects the offer for sure…
I’m sure if the guy took it to an auction house (like where he bought it from) he should get much better offers, especially if it was sold under like music memorabilia.
He bought it at an auction, and tried to double his money at a pawn shop, not to smart!
It’s smart but the fact that he didn’t say means that he got it for less. No point paying over the price he bought it for at auction unless the items price will keep increasing
“C’mon, you paid $1 for it in a thrift shop”
That’s nice Rick, it’s still worth what it’s worth. So many bad negotiators out there…
@Shawn Jarman too*
I love how he’s honest like I’ll prolly just buy more stuff at an auction I mean I would too lol
For those commenting that he didn’t even offer scrap value, he said about 3k in gold, 3k in dismonds. So he added 4k to it for the design/collectible value. If you’ve ever been to a pawn shop other than this one, most of the time they will ONLY offer scrap value, or a smidge above if it’s an intricately made piece
And that is my main riddle I got with this show, which I love to watch btw. Why do people come here. If they can sell it full price on ebay or anything like that.
@masterfu0 because you’ll sit on it forever waiting for the right guy to come through and pay whatever you want, and if its too much no one ever will. You can walk into his shop and get offers for a lot of money and let him worry about it. Thats what pawn shops are.
I did my own research on this piece and I believe after my research that it’s not a hard item to sell at a price tag of 80k
This is a demanded item to collectors
This episode is from 2014. The price of everything has shot up from inflation in the last 5 years alone
@QuorthonsInferno doesn’t change the fact 10 grand was a low ball
I saw it for 125k
@Thomas Lucas and I see three ranging from 12k to 23k. Really similar to the one in the show
I am an avid piano player and I assure you can affirm that Liberache is a badass
Greetings from all my heart to all the experts in all the specialties that you host. I wish them health, safety, success and progress in their work. With great thanks and respect.
Every time Rick doesn’t call an expert, he knows he can screw the seller!!! Good that the guy didn’t sell that piece!!!
I find that hard to believe on a scripted show
Yeah
10k for something with that many ounces of gold and jewels that they have the providence it was worn frequently on-stage by a famous musician is definitely a lowball.
I love how the most watched moment isn’t the price reveal or the deal made… But the guy dropping a sword in the back.
