EXPERTS ACTUALLY SAVED Rick Harrison From Losing Everything 

Thanks, saved me from not continuing the scroll

Thx

Thanks for saving me the time hoss!

I too was disappointed.

Thanks

I have a Chinese made US 100 dollar bill on the wall next to me. It is not US Currency and is clearly made with Chinese caricatures on it during the printing process. You can look them up to see what I have. These bills are used in the Chinese banking system as a training tool for tellers handling foreign currency. But I have been told possession of the bill is illegal. Wrong!

Exactly. If its obvious not real. They would have to collect monopoly ever made

Here’s the deal: it is illegal to pass counterfeit bills under the pretext that they are money. But, if you pay money knowing it is counterfeit, it is a work of art. It can be traded as a work of art. A really good immigration of a $20 Bill could be worth more to an art collector than $20.

I have a couple hundred dollars bills with Trump giving two thumbs up.

True

the title or the tits?

Obviously all of pawn stars is scripted lol

Yup

What about the turtle shell?

@@Delcat42 he wouldn't "lose everything" over that. He'd be fined.

@@klaatubob "Lose everything" is hyperbole yeah, I just wasn't sure if animal remains carried jail time in his state. Thanks!

Even though it's nostalgia what can you do I mean the owner wouldn't be stupid enough to go spend it so a $500 wall art or paper weight I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Look at the channel that posted it.

It's all pre recorded

It’s called editing 😂 might have been the next day or theee days later for all we know.

somw times it takes a month :/ wish it was really this fast lol.

vegas is a small town...

The entire show is scripted, rehearsed, and acted out. True that the people bringing stuff in are not actors (except during the taping of the show) and usually have the things they are trying to sell, but they are contacted by the show’s producers and offered money to come and play the parts. The experts come to the tapings as needed just like any other scripted television show.

You are correct sir

Which item(s)

It's true, go to any coin show. you'll see a guy that is a few counterfeit bills for sale.

Right. I can print either the front or back of a bill with a high resolution printer and it's not near being "counterfeit". Then there is stage money used in movies and TV.

I read an article in a coin collecting magazine long ago. It said that if you find that you have received a counterfeit bill, you are not allowed to keep it, spend it, sell it, or destroy it. You must turn it in to law enforcement.

And only has one side.

More negotiation took place in the red light district.

The fkn lady with the missle had me dying... She literally said ok we have more I'll take 550... Like wtf how TF did you get it in the first place... And why tf do you have more 😂

She said how she got them and said she had a bunch or whatever word she used to describe many

I would further state that the bill had only half the printing on it. There is no place that it would be accepted as legal tender.

But that wasn't what was attempted. The attempt was to sell the bill, knowing it to be fraudulent, and selling it partly for that reason. There was no attempt to use it to purchase something.

You do not know etf your talking about

It's completely fine these guys are going to idiots

Made with front counterfeit printing plate. Not usable as bill, but maybe possible to copy print?

It's illegal to own, pass, sell, etc. with intent to defraud, that "expert" doesn't know wtf he's talking about. A quick search would have told him that.

@@motox20half of these experts are morons and on ricks payroll

Wearing rubber gloves damages surfaces. They wash and dry their hands thoroughly right before filming, which is the proper handling technique of delicate paper.

The people selling them don't use gloves either... And neither does the shop...

​@@benjaminmorris4962that's not the point. This is her world, she should wear protective gloves.

Honestly the industry standard is clean dry hands. Especially with old paper products, they found that it's safer and non damaging to the products.

@@joshuakendrick6650 This isn't true. Clean/dry hands are recommended by library of congress when handling ONLY old books because people feel it reduces their finger dexterity and could lead to torn pages. These recommendations are also concerned about dirt which isn't the danger associated with handling old documents. skin oils are damaging to documentation and if handling something outside your collection gloves are indeed a good way to go. A direct quote from the national archives "Wearing gloves is necessary whenever mounted prints, drawings, photographs and fine bindings are handled"

Well, it will be hard to sell and I have to have some margin to make a bit of money out of it.

Thanos i want 600 trillion for the infinity stone, Rick best i can do 50 bucks.

Sounds like Rick worked at GameStop. 😂

@@onetwo6039 Who do you think they learned it from? =P

I doubt Rick even has 2 million euros.

if you payed cash for something you that cost like lets say $30 you could slip that in between as a real $10 and probebly get away with it.

Such a mark!😂

What’s wrong with it?

@@johne9898not enough aliens

One day you’ll miss it

If the artifacts are real, then that makes it a history themed show and the show fits on The History Channel.

Human history is a joke, so it fits

I agree, I don’t think it’s illegal to have a bill that’s OBVIOUSLY counterfeit. Otherwise Monopoly money would be illegal. For once I think Mark was wrong about an item.

counterfeit is counterfeit. Do you want to depend on a government agency being logical about weather you are or are not going to jail?

Counterfeit bills are NOT illegal to have. They are only illegal to try to use as real bills.

Until you try to use it a counterfeit note is art.

​@Caderic they absolutely are illegal to have. Why do you think cashiers can't give them back? They are illegal to even possess

"You got car PAYMENT money" would have been more accurate. 😂

Matchbox collectibles?

He didn't say it would be a *good* car...

He never said it'd be a porsche. You can buy a car for 2k, or 1.6k.

Kia?

“Daniel…”

@@DrFranklynAnderson "what? he was asking if we were russian spies"

@@jbjstyx "My name is Skywalker. Luke Skywalker. My dogtags are lying." (I love that someone else got that reference.)

Nyet?? Could that b qwik-hand for 'not yet'? 😂 Sorry, I've had too much coffee...

"Of course not, Yankee comrade. Dos ven Don ya!"

And then played “Happy Together”. 😁

Yeah but they didn't want any strings attached to this item.

​@@user-kl6ef1tn5g I see what you did there 😂🐢🐢

Yep, why it would easily be worth 50 thousand

But they didn’t. It was Lindbergh’s quack medical pal who killed the baby. Then they framed Hauptmann.

I know we all laugh at the way he negotiates, but that's the one time where I feel like that was just short sighted. These people are rolling in cash. I am quite sure that $500 was nothing and that someone out there would gladly pay more than $3K for *original* evidence from the limburgh baby case.

yep surely you would be better off at an auction if you wanted the big money yourself rather than giving the pawnshop half the winnings XD

Aren’t those the words Indiana Jones said to Panama Hat (Paul Maxwell) when adult Indy recovered the Cross of Coronado in the Last Crusade?

"So do you!" - some Nazi dude in an Indiana Jones movie.

So your grandfather's belongings belong in a museum?

@@diamondjim7560 Close enough. It was "That belongs in a museum!" @elessartelcontar9415 It was Panama Hat that said that to Indy in response to the previous line. Don't know if he was a Nazi or just some greedy bastard.

They belong to their owners.

You know. I decided you get my internet comment award. I snickered. Thanks.

You can find any number you like in any bar, stadium or gathering of more than three people. Ever second f'wit is an expert, in their own minds. Actual experts are drowned out by them.

Well, it's Vegas.

It's like everything exists to feed to gambling machine.

It's all a racket. The experts they bring in (and it's a pretty regular pool that they use) get first dibs on the items they assess.

He really tickled my anger bone when he said that.

1500 is a lot to me I can do a lot with that much money

He probably wanted it for his personal collection

Fair my ass. One guy came in with a sword worth 10k bought it for 3 and sold it for 13...don't give me that fair crap

@@Ryoga100 that’s kinda off topic, I was just saying he barely went lower with sell price for grenade. People need to resell for profit, generally it’s a “buy for 1/3 price, sell for 1/2 price”. Was just saying he didn’t mess around with price for grenade. Edit: if you want a maximum price, sell it yourself. I legitimately run an antique store. You need to understand how profit works or walk away. If you can sell a 10k item yourself doit, that shit will sit in my store for years. I’m not a collector, I’m a seller.

Fair is what a person is willing to sell for. ​@@Ryoga100

$2000 was the sale price in 2007 and the guy hasn't seen one since.

Fully-semi-automatic letter signer.

Like selling it?

​@@Dr.Claw_M.A.D. selling it as a counterflow bill isn't defrauding anybody.

​@@Dr.Claw_M.A.D. In what way would selling it like here be defrauding someone? He didn't try to pass it as a real bill. You're silly

Good insight on the way you think

It's actually quite rare for professional appraisers to do that since their entire career is based of their reputation. If they give too many garbage evaluations they'll stop getting work. At least in markets with objective pricing factors like antiques and not subjective like art

Yeah , but they already have a relationship and they give considerable fair appraisals and that’s why give ranges 10 - 15K so he knows the low is 10K and offers them 3K but then sells for 12K. They already know and have their thing amd you should get your own appraisal if you want a higher value. So won’t matter either way. It’s called business relationships buddy.

​@@nassimessayli8845 it's important to understand the estimated value is what the appraiser thinks it SHOULD sell for and not what it WILL sell for. A pawn shop wants items that they can turn a quick profit on because if they spend 20k on an item that has a very slim buyer market there's fair odds that it simply just sits on a shelf and that 20k is basically dead in the water. That's why you see pawn shops very heavily low ball an appraiser's estimate. The goal is to find the lowest value the seller is willing to part with their item for both to maximize profit on the resell and minimalize loss if the item does not find a proper buyer. The key factor for the seller to make more more money is to actually negotiate. Because the initial offer from the pawn shop is the lowest value they think they can buy for it's up to the seller to deliver counter offers to raise the pawn shop's buying offer.

Which is illegal in various jurisdictions.

I understand your thoughts on this but go ahead and try to get $12k for a set of documents and medals on the open market and have to deal with the flakey public in the process lol my guess is these people have tried to sell on their own but probably get lower offers than Pawn Stars will offer. Which is also why the consignment side of things is such a big part of businesses in the sales industry.

Smart people own pawn shops or NEVER enter one. Best you get from the pawn shop is 1/4 of what you could get from a private sale.

It’s a show. It’s not real

You are never getting full value selling to a pawn shop. At best you will get about half.

@@darrenhill3514 Yeah, I think people underestimate how difficult it is to sell these to the general public when only certain collectors would be interested, and of course, the pawn shop has to mark them up for profit over what the experts deem their worth is.

Who cares

It’s totally real…

Real shop, real items, real offers but It’s on TV so I think most understand it’s scripted…

Reality TV isn't "scripted" as much as cherry-picked and assembled. You have to imagine each time they call in an expert that guy isn't just gonna show up, say five lines and then leave, he's probably there for a good bit of time plus the time waiting for him to get there. Each one of these deals of which we see five minutes on TV, probably took a couple hours IRL plus two or three whole other deals that day that weren't spicy enough for TV. And you can tell by people's pacing and tone of voice that the dialogue is all clipped together, this show doesn't seem as bad mostly just condensing long discussions, but a show like American kitchen nightmares seems like it's fabricating whole narratives by piecing things together out of context. This show probably synthesizes drama that way the odd time, when it needs to.

@@gangstadrz9326 You commented so.... you.

Stopped watching it because he’s just too frikkin annoying with his sarcastic he he he and the yyyya, not gonna happen. He just comes across as a snot and treats people like they are stupid. Not a fan

they know regular standard stuff that walks in the door on a daily basis, but obviously the items shown on the TV show are unique and special and not items that they would see on a regular basis. That is why they do not know everything about every item and the show producers then script the show to bring in an expert, which always seems to be available right away, to evaluate the item. Then a price is negotiated, a deal made or not and the customer walks out the door and gets paid for his/her appearance on the show.

“My wife says”, well there’s your problem.

​@silentepsilon888 And I would be surprised if none of them had interest in certain types of products. One might be a movie buff for example.

Lol

In many states like AZ the concealed weapon would not have to be removed .

Beginning in 1990, an embedded (not printed) security thread was added to all bills except the $1 and $2 bills.

Real Good Point...👍

Doesn't matter it's still legal to own 😂

@@Unknown_Ooh they just said it ILLEGAL to own and should be handed to authorities.

Its a pawn shop, you give up some of the value of the object(s) for not having the hassle of trying to find a buyer and negotiating along with transporting/shipping the objects afterwards.

Even if it wasn't, still not illegal to own.

If his hand moves at all.. lol
