Most I can do is 1 episode and a half, taking all the risk here.

. . . which increases it's value in today's market!

That's so cool that Houdini's jacket was worth way more. It might be worthless to some people, but I think the fact of owning Houdini's straight-jacket would be priceless.

Can't believe he kept a straight face and offered him 15k when the expert literally said somewhere around 42k. This guy is way too greedy on making profits 🤣

Id think it was still worth way more than that to be honest!!

Thats Good to know, Well How do you get to know he sold the jacket in 2011?

I appreciate this comment

You're kind of always at a disadvantage when going into a pawn shop, because they deal with making deals on a daily basis. They know how to guide people to the price they want, they know how to read people to see if they're getting close to cracking on a compromised price. Really, it's important to prepare and know what you have before you even come in, and know the fair price is some percentage below market value. Hold steady at that, and know when you're too far apart to make a deal. Even a dry run at another pawn shop or two that you don't intend to sell to, is good for determining the value people are willing to pay.

The sad part is how heartbroken the lady was about the books, as she walked away she touched it once last time as a good bye.

Most pawn shops don’t negotiate🤣

😂

@@brandon_doe for real 😂 one offer and if you don’t like it there’s the door

Lmao 😂

Exactly what I was thinking

Because he let his feelings get involved with the gobstopper

@@brycebullard3619 what??

@@brycebullard3619 no way you got the link

That's a call for no negotiations needed

Its probably because he knows Rick is just gonna keep it tbh xD

@@on12fire So true. He has big clients always looking for certain rare coins. I would bet they have a few people that easily would pay 50k.

@@joeschmo247 Rick also has people that help him look for buyers but he will have to give them some percentage of that sale to the agent who’s working with them

Oh yeah prob 60 grand

He might've paid the 30k if the repairs had been done by magic 😂

It’s brutal the low ball excuses Rick comes up with. Almost criminal

Yeah that was one of the more ridiculous things I’ve heard Rick say. What did he expect? A price tag to still be on it?

to be fair there have been articles of clothing like George Washington’s jacket that were way older & in much better shape, plus the owner himself even admitted his family had played around in the straight jacket as kids

And Corey is even worse. Rick at least pretends to be offering fair. Corey just keeps his "I am ripping you off and there is nothing you can do about it" grin.

“But what about toilet paper?” “Best I can do is leaves.”

"After talking to my guy all I can offer is a bush". "I'm taking all the risk here and I have to pay to have it framed"

@@colincanzone8462 "If this was an auction you would be lucky to get a pinecone after all the fees."

Good enough lol 😂

“I take all the risk here”

Agreed, though these people obviously want to be TV.

thats a good point

Fortunately this is scripted tv show.

Everything on this show is staged. The show cannot even be filmed in the real shop. How else can you have every expert appearing within mins of being called. How else can you have a expert for every item that they are called for. Why isnt all pawn shops full of rare expensive items. There is no way that a single pawn shop will get as much rare items as this shop does in a short amount of time.

@@everybuddy5924 well, your point on how is simple really, they’re a T.V. Show and people come with there rare items to show them off

"I'm taking all the risks here"

@@Pratyush2124 Customer: Yeah, and I'm taking my highly valuable item back in the car and out to someone that will give me what it's worth.

No one forbids you from cutting out the middle man

Chum should be the real meme because he actually does that kind of stuff without exaggeration.

"I'm taking all the risk here and I have to frame it."

Unless you are in love television where the owners of the pawn shop would get crucified if they made someone a terrible offer and got away with it. It makes them feel bad and their first offer would be way higher than usual… plus he gets so much money from the tv, he could have bought those books for 5k and netted more money from the show and the item

@@conner.-.2590 pretty sure that they really did not make any money from the show

@@trashsombra2793 a 10 second google search said Corey makes 15k per episode why would they do the show if they weren't being paid

I could hear the sound of Rick rubbing his hands with delight when she said that

Dude sold it in 2011 for 47k

​@@5Backwoodsgood for him

I feel like it's worth even more than 45k. You'd think that would be 6 figures easy

Yeah, but that would be such a difficult item to sell. You would have to sit the person down and promise them that it’s real. There’s nothing that authenticates it even after this guy doing his research, there’s still nothing that actually authenticates it it could just be a coincidence, so Rick is taking a risk paying anything over 15 K.

If someone offered me $25,000 for an old jacket, Houdini's of not, i'm selling ! honestly some of these guys....

@@MrManfly so if you had an envelope someone told you had $34-$42, you'd take $25 for it?

*BEST I CAN DO, 16.98 AND NOT A PENNY MORE* *THERE'S NO GUARANTEE I'LL BE ABLE TO GET RID OF THIS LATER* *THERE'S A LOT OF TWENTIES OUT THERE*

No, I'm with Rick on this one.

I'm going to tell the truth, the last lady was not very intelligent and you can tell it by her reaction during Rebecca's evaluation. But yes, it's was a win-win negotiation.

I am very interested in what Rebecca would have to say about the peices that 1 could bring.

only one book was 1500-1800 and there is 4 books so it was far from a fair offer... she got robbed XD 6-7k in value sold for 1k ....

to be fair I wouldve just kept them for their historical value. myabe in 20-30 years they will be more expensive specially in that condition

So true, at this point is not about the money, it's about the sentiment. Even I felt the excitement when the magician expert pointed out the details.

Same. Like some things people sell on this show is crazy to me. I could never sell Houdini's authentic jacket or a guitar signed by Jimi Hendrix or something. Like people are wild.

Probly worth millions at this point

Isn't that just the low self esteem thing though. Anyway, so people come over, and then you show them this jacket from Harry Houdini and the only people that would really care, or like other magicians, if you show anyone else, they'll only care for literally 10 seconds or less

He was smart to keep it, especially after its been authenticated

@@sleepingbanshee_ they showed the proof

@@sleepingbanshee_ all he needs if that picture to go with it

He offered 25k

But then goes up from 15 to 25 Lmaoo I’m glad the man left with the jacket

Depending on resale value and popularity, you are at most going to get 40-60% of whatever you are selling. Thats just the way it is at pawn shops. Part of that is risk.

Professionals considering at auction prices that more specialized stuff takes specialized auction houses with connections to those specific buyers depending on auction house thats 30% right off sale price. Most are closer to 5-15% BUT auctions don't always workout. Another item pops up that competes your buyer might use up funds maybe people invited for your item "specific" interest end up going to another auction have family event get delayed. Top all this off with authenticators they are really saying "pretty sure this is real" good forgerys pass initial testing. If it fails later he eats cost if it comes up stolen he eats cost. Expensive items are low turn over taking up inventory space contributing to high insurance waiting for auctions more rigorous testing etc. So yeah cool item might go for 800k. BUT if he pays 700k auction house takes low 5% 40k he made 60k. Woo BUT money was tied up for 2yrs until then. Meaning he couldn't accept 700k worth of other deals that might have been flipped in month for 20-30% markup. Losing far far more than 60k in opportunity cost. Take for example straight jack houdini guy went and sold it got 45k which sounds great but overseas auction was prime auction to sell it at so could have done worse. Guy at best walked away with 40k and as little as 31k. AFTER a year of ground work calling people arranging it AND paying extra for a more official authentication. 25k not a entirely bad offer after all.

You also forgot the “let me call a guy”, or “the problem is, I just don’t know enough about it.”

Not true. Rick usually starts at 50% of the value and negotiates from there.

@@dasparado 😂 so true

I would never sell it

He sold it at an auction for $46,980 according to google

Should have gone to a museum of such theatrical props

Houdini's holy grail? best i can do is less than half price.

Same lol likeeeee whaaaa

It's more amazing they come in within a few minutes. Must have 100 experts located a block or two away.

The show and people and items are pre screened and determined if they are interesting enough for tv before hand. All the people walking around the shop are also extras. So while it is scripted the people and the actors are legit.

@@lorincborbaszoltan it is a show you num num, ofcourse its scrypted.

And the “expert” are just chosen to be TV likeable. Most of them know their stuff but they’re not actually friends with Rick.

@@TheJanko301 First off, no need to be rude! You’re under no obligation to be rude. Second, that’s not how you spell “scripted”. Third, you do realise they live in Vegas.

The everlasting gobstopper was evaluated at 45k so rick got burned for it haha . His childish memories took over him on that sale

Or they agree to sell it maybe at a lower price than the auction BUT they get paid money so that compensates the loss ?

Wow the rest of us didn’t know that you’re a smart cookie

I don't know. It's definitely staged, at least in part. The customers never say anything about being on TV and they never look at the camera, though I suppose that could also be edited. The other customers don't crowd around to look. Experts are readily available at a moment's notice, and some even mention having researched the item. So it's prepared in advance, people are told how to act, and so on. But perhaps they are real customers with real items that they want to sell. It's a very popular pawn shop and they clearly do buy and sell all kinds of things, which you can see if you go there. So maybe they make a list of people and their items, they plan ahead with the experts, they schedule the negotiation, they instruct customers to not crowd around or look at the camera, and so on, but they're real negotiations. The non-negotiation parts do seem totally scripted, and there are some items that are probably scripted, like that car-eating mechanical dinosaur they once checked out, or that time Corey bought I think it was a hot air balloon and then Rick wanted to give it back. But the regular stuff, I don't know.

Pretty sure the items are fake tbh. There's no way they'd be handling those books like that if they were real. The "expert" was even waving them around like they were worth $20 when she was talking

​@@JACpotatosyes, and the time she handled a leaf of the Guttenberg Bible with bare hands!

The Point is that the worth of its weight was exactly 20 bucks back then. And it was a 20 bucks coin.

Yeah...I try not to think about all the MTG and Pokemon cards my mom tossed out and sold in garage sales when I moved out after high school. Those cards were all from 94-99.

Nothing that's mass-produced now will ever have value in the future: there are simply too many of them. All of these things in the show that have value a hundred or two hundred years later were, even at the time, quite rare.

@Abel B. : That's what I was thinking, you never go to a pawn shop to get an appraisal, you go to a numismatic expert in valuable coins. He could've sold that coin at a collector's auction and got a lot more, but then of course there would be commissions.

@@brianlanders5306 auctions has fees and you need the right buyer if you have all stingy people that wouldnt pay more then 40k for it after everyone involved takes there cut they would be lucky to break even. and like pops said " were in the bizness of MAKING $$". not breaking even. never go off of the max # pawn 101.

@@meatyface2947 : What part of commissions did you not understand? That can range from 5% to 50%, the higher the value the less the commission. You must've never been to an auction. If you think you'll break even, unless you paid way to much to begin with.

The guy's a talker. he only hears numbers and when he hears numbers he only thinks cash. He's probably never actually worked with money before so he doesn't really know what he's doing. He got into the bail bondsman career because he knew he could make easy cash off of it instead of going okay I know that I'm probably going to get screwed at least a handful of times

I don't think it was an MS-63 it had scratches

@@wagstaffe7 It could have been graded MS63 by PCGS or NGC, yet that is certainly taking a chance. It is a good thing that they did not go any higher than 34K for sure. It looks like a MS, and a Grader could have given it a MS60, MS61, MS62, MS63, or MS64. That being said, a 1861-S, presently on PCGS Price Guide is worth between $17.5K for MS60 to $80K for MS63. If it grades MS62 they have more than the money they paid, they are OK.

@@wagstaffe7 it wasnt graded fool

That's because coins were the old man's thing. After leaving the Navy, he originally opened a coin/collectible shop, and it was Rick that convinced him to turn it into a pawn shop.

They are playing off each other both for the show and the customer. Even if this show wasn't set up, you could see it in the old mans eyes that the deal was already done, he couldn't take his eyes off the coin.
