so how about 15 grand for the car you got a deal hi and welcome to space-bound where today we'll be looking at ten of the most expensive buys in hardcore pawn history number ten $2,800 Gretch electric guitars in a very touching episode from season eight perfectly titled sets soft side we get to see exactly that seem happy everybody has bills to pay and it's sad when you see people fall behind one such family on hardcore pawn fell under and as a result brought in a pair of Gretch electric guitars they received from a close relative without even a bit of negotiation they accepted Seth's offer of $1,800 for the pair however it's revealed that later in the episode after Seth had the guitars serial number checked that he mistakenly paid the family too little for the set in an act of kindness Seth called the family to have them come back into the shop where then after explaining what had happened happily gives the two another 1000 for the remaining amount equaling up to 2800 in total for the pair of Gretchen whatever it is I help you to be well number 9 $5,500 chopper in a season 4 episode a man was looking to get a deal for his snazzy-looking chopper which was originally built and given to him by his brother 113 motor the 113 motor on this bad boy alone was worth about $7,000 but when it comes to pawn shops you can always count on the customer being in need of easy money fast and then you can get yourself rolling you can you can break this chain a bad luck falling under hard times the seller was looking to get around $10,000 for the bike but Seth had other plans in mind at first unwilling to give up more than $5,000 for the sake of building a profit the man did eventually managed to persuade Seth into coughing up a modest $5,500 for the beauty it's not exactly what our bike owner was hoping for but let's hope at least it helped him and his family out a little bit for the time being number 8 $6,000 storage unit on the rare occasion where a deal happens off the American Jewelry and Loan property lesson Seth were brought out by their friend Tim to check out a storage unit he had purchased for $2,100 rummaging through the piles of garbage clothes and furniture les eventually finds something to make the trip worthwhile a limited-edition coke bronze eagle statue only 75 of these special edition eagles were manufactured and realizing the potential les shut out a quick offer of $3500 it's not so easy though and Tim knew that if les is interested it's got to be worth something going all-out les manages to talk his friend down to a firm six thousand dollar deal which is still an impressive three thousand nine hundred dollars turnaround from the storage unit plus les still has his own opportunity to turn a profit number seven $7,000 76 Bricklin rolling onto the parking lot in style our Detroit based pawn brokers found themselves in front of a 1976 safety white Bricklin not to be confused with the more popular DeLorean go back to the future relatively difficult to come by there were only ever 17 title Brooklands in the US and with only 29 thousand five hundred miles on its life less of course just had to jump on at the opportunity this is one of the coolest cars I've ever seen but because of the considerable amount of work that had to be done to the Bricklin including a repainted body and set of tires along with an entirely new exhaust the car's value was drastically diminished so there was no actual purchase made here but les and the owner did come down to an agreed loan of $7,000 this is one of those things I would have loved and fought for a pawn shop and on the off chance that the original owner never paint his dues technically les did buy it number six $8,000 party bus originally taking apart a 38 passenger 1989 neo plan bus and converting it into a full-blown party bus for bachelors our seller in this situation was looking to sell it off in hopes of upgrading to a larger bus for his limo service company craziest things I've heard about my party bus are lap dances for the drivers as tips it's definitely one of the shops more questionable purchases to come out of the show but with Ashley and less on board figurative and literally the only thing stopping them from making a deal was the price six grabbing an abaya six grand a less immediately saw an opportunity here when the owner dropped down from twenty thousand five hundred to fifteen thousand meaning that he was desperate in a moment of desperation after refusing less as six and seven thousand dollar offers the man broke and gave up on the need to be sterilized hunk of bolts in metal for eight thousand dollars eight thousand the track no way number five ten thousand dollar Burmese Ruby um I have these biggest stones that I found out out of my grandmother house she just passed not too long enough following the unfortunate death of her grandmother a woman by the name of crystal whom ironically enough brought in a bag full of gems was looking to get maybe a hundred dollars to help pay for funeral expenses the intrusive Ashley had little hopes in the jewels believing they were just mere glass costume accessories but good guy less on the other hand wanted to give crystal the benefit of the doubt he's getting that lady's hopes up for nothing the shops gem expert bob was coming in later and had them tested at the risk of missing out on a good opportunity lo and behold Ashley was right for the most part out of the bunch came a unique Burmese Ruby Valley dat Wow ten thousand dollars the deal of a lifetime naturally crystal was a static after leaving the shop with a life-changing amount of cash is that what I think that is absolutely holy and as for Ashley well let's hope she learned her lesson to not doubt everything and be a little bit more optimistic $10,000 number four $14,500 1941 Chevrolet in a very early episode of hardcore pawn we see less purchase a 1941 Chevy for five thousand eight hundred dollars which at the time was one of the show's biggest and riskiest buys skip forward three years later we're in season six now and the classic car is still just collecting dust and room in the storage warehouse so let me tell you the great news I sold that 41 Chevy challenged by his two kids Seth and Ashley to finally sell the vehicle as a means of saving face he does just that and actually earns himself a modest fourteen and a half thousand dollars for the red buggy that's a car that I paid fifty eight hundred for I got fourteen thousand five hundred bucks I'm not you think that a return rate of nearly a hundred and fifty percent that less as kids would actually be contented with the outcome but yes not don't worry though less old buddy some of us just wish it were that easy number three $20,000 kevorkian van definitely one of our core pawns more morbid purchases has to be that of dr. kevorkians van people from all over the country would come here for physician assisted suicide a forever icon in lasting part of Detroit's history during the early 1990s dr. Jack Kevorkian euthanized more than a hundred and thirty locals in his historic 1968 Volkswagen minibus until selling it to a scrapyard in 1997 for a hundred and fifty bucks it's all original - when Jack turned it in less would inevitably become its future owner purchasing the death 'mobile for a cool twenty thousand dollars 20-some odd years ago I'll flip for 20,000 the segment in which less buys the van after winning a $20,000 coin flip in the season 6 episode less mojo was all staged as a means of attracting people to the show the scene was filmed and aired in 2013 and in 2014 less sold the rust-bucket of the mini busts to zak bagans of Ghost Adventures for an assumed $32,000 number to 40,000 watchbands for a watch for this purchase it really depends on how you look at it following a series of bad buys from salesman samples of pools to taxidermy less a streak would eventually come to an end in the season 7 episode after selling a unique Breitling watch for $42,000 to a trusted friend and collector Gary you're gonna do again it depends on how you look at the situation because rather than receiving a traditional cash payment American Jewelry and Loan were sent a hundred 30 cases full of watchbands about 40,000 to be exact you mother the following episodes more or less follow les as he tried to make things right eventually offering the band's at $2 apiece if that were the case then realistically they would have doubled what Breitling watch was worth as it would turn out though Seth revealed on Facebook how les managed to just break even on how many watch bands he sold to a wholesaler with a few autographed versions being sold on the business's website so to say hardcore pawn' got their money's worth in the end in finally number one $67,000 Ford Mustang the series biggest exchange comes from the premiere episode of season 4 when a couple toes in their extraordinarily rare 2009 Lela Coca Ford Mustang Lee Iacocca Mustang 1 out of 45 you can't find these Mustangs anywhere as a way of celebrating for its 45th anniversary since first introducing the Mustang only 45 leaves were ever manufactured with that in mind the gang at American Jewelry and Loan knew they had to strike a deal and after some hard negotiating they do just that on the low end a limited-edition Lakota Mustang could reach about $80,000 but less and Seth's expert skills managed to bring the price down to a cool 67 thousand dollars not a bad days of work the deals done this is the most amazing car I've ever seen and with that being said that concludes what are 10 of the most expensive buys to come out of hardcore pawn' feel free to comment down below on what you thought about today's video and maybe leave a like if you enjoyed also don't forget to subscribe and push that notification bell to see more space-bound videos soon lifted this one in the very near future and have yourselves a excellent day
