-[Davey] What's up, Big Hoss?
-What's up? We've known Davey for years, ever since he showed up
to pawn a motorcycle. I gotta ask, why would you pawn
a bike like this? I gotta make payroll. I got employees
that count on me. What are you looking
to get out of it? I need to make 20 grand. It's a nice bike,
but we're looking around eight. Eight thousand?
Dude, I can't... Eh, that ain't gonna cut it. He's been a regular ever since, and he's got a shop
right up the street, so he pops in all the time. But he's a good negotiator, and he isn't afraid
to play the friend card to get what he wants. So, what you looking for? Well, I bought a condo
at the Palms Place and I want to put some decor
in it that'd be pretty cool. Anything particular? A "cool" in my opinion
and "cool" in yours are gonna be
two totally different things. I like to do local art,
if possible, you know? Keep somebody local.
Something that's cool. -Got personality.
-All right. -Come back here with me, man.
-All right. [Davey] We bonded over
our love for motorcycles. We've done a lot of road trips. Our friendship
is the motorcycles, but it's gone past
that point now. I'm family,
whether they like it or not. [Corey] You a Mohammad Ali fan? [Davey] I like the boxing,
but I'm not that big of a fan. Okay. This is really cool. This is his game-worn uniform,
Willie Mays. Yeah, but I'm not building
a sports bar, you know? Like, your dad's hood,
that'd be great in sports bar we could like throw darts at it
or you know... How'd you like to look at that
every morning when you got up? That's what you did. You kissed
him good night. [laughs] -Put that in my bathroom.
-Yeah. The bike would be great but we ain't gonna do nothing
with that in a condo. Do you already have stuff
you're trying to match or... No, the condo came turnkey
with the art in it and stuff, but I'm not crazy
about that art. This is cool. This is a Godard
and that's a local artist too. I didn't know that. He was a graduate
from UNLV's Fine Art program. He's known for painting
the grapes, and you know,
funny little scenarios. Like this is a DUI checkpoint.
[laughs] -Walk the straight line.
-He does some crazy stuff. It says, "Warning! May cause
flirtation with intoxication." I mean, his stuff really
got popular a few years ago. One of his paintings
actually hangs up in the Pentagon breakroom. I like it.
I like it a lot, Corey. How much is it? -It ain't cheap.
-No. Come on. It's gotta be cheap.
Come on, I'm family. I really like this painting
from Godard. But I'm not paying Corey
a large sum of money for a piece of art
to hang on a wall that is not, like, a Picasso. Um... I gotta price $2,000. Five hundred. I'm not gonna take
$1500 hit on it, man. [Davey] Come on! -[Corey] I'll go 1800.
-[Davey] No. Stop. -Eighteen hundred.
-No, stop. -It's a God--
-Eight hundred. -Eight--
-Drop the one. I can't take a $1200 hit on it,
even if I like ya. Eighteen hundred. Should we cut this
and stop it at a thousand and call a done deal? -No.
-Meet in the middle. Give me 1500 bucks for it. Don't even tell my dad
I sold it to you for that. -$1500. You got a deal.
-All right. I appreciate it. -Come-- I'll write you up.
-Hope your dad will be mad. I like that Corey started
with a $2000 sticker price. I woulda liked about 800. Maybe we settle at 1200,
but I'm okay with the 1500. [Davey]<i> Corey, what's going on,
brother?</i> -What's up, man?
-Not much. -How are you doing?
-Doing good. I spot a little Rupp I like.
A little scooter here. <i> Davey is an old friend of mine
and he's always trying</i> to use our friendship
to guilt me into giving him a discount. <i> You know,
I give him props for trying,</i> But it ain't gonna happen. I know I got a nice Rupp there. It was pretty much
Honda's main competition in the US. No one really made anything,
you know, this small. It was still
during that '70s period where people really
just still weren't cool with buying Japanese stuff. It comes out of O-H-I-O.
We love it. It was one of those things where
every dad that rode motorcycles wanted his kid to learn
how to ride 'em and this is, you know,
probably his first bike. [Davey] It's basically
what I started on. You know, I've been eyeing it
for a while. You know I want it. Too bad it's not for sale, man. Come on. Everything's for sale.
Everything's got a price. My dad's just in love
with this thing. He's never gonna part with it. I could find you a different one for three or 4,000,
restore it like this. I could find one.
But I can't deal with them. I got to go to an auction,
stuff like that, with you, I can go eye to eye.
We can make a deal. You know what? Give me ten grand
for it and it's yours. -No, 900.
-It ain't gonna happen. -See?
-[Davey chuckles] It's irrational and "unlogical" but he is in love with this
silly little motorcycle. [Davey] Where is your dad at?
I wanna deal with him. -Um, he's in London right now.
-Get him on the phone. [laughs] I can guarantee
that he won't sell it to ya. Come on. Get him
on the phone, Corey. Call your old man up. All right. I'll go call him
for you. It's on you. Yeah, but he's gonna yell
at you. So, I'm fine with it. That Rupp has been sitting
on his showroom floor for years and years. And I'm like,
it would be a lot nicer in my collection
than on their showroom floor, so I'm gonna make it mine today. [phone ringing] [Rick]<i> Hello?</i> [Corey] Hey, what's up, Pop? [Rick]<i> What are you doing
calling me?</i> <i>You know there is an eight-hour
time difference.</i> <i> It's one o'clock
in the morning.</i> [Richard] Oh, suck it up. [Corey] I have Davey Deals here
demanding I give him a price on the Rupp Roadster. [Rick]<i> Well, punch him
in the face. It's not for sale.</i> [Corey] I told him
it wasn't for sale and he pressed and pressed
and pressed and he wants a number. [Rick]<i> Tell him $15,000.</i> Fifteen thousand dollars
for that piece of crap? -[Rick]<i> Yeah.</i>
-All right. I'll tell him. [Chumlee] Rick. Bring me a gift. And I don't want nothing
from the airport. -[Rick]<i> Good night. Bye.</i>
-All right. Have a good night, Pops. Man, he was cranky. Big bitchy. [laughing] -Oh, that can't be good.
-[Corey laughing] -Did you get ahold of him?
-Yeah. I got ahold of him. He told me
to punch you in the face. I'm running. [laughs] I'm outta here. What's the real number
he said, seriously? For you? He said $15,000. Come on. It's ridiculous. I know it's ridiculous. But if
you want it that bad, pay it. When's he supposed to be home?
I'll argue it out with him and talk sense into him
when he gets home. All right. He'll be here
in a couple of days. All right, I'll just talk
to him then. -Better luck next time, man.
-Yeah. Corey gave me a lot of crap
today, but I will be back. He's just in a mood. It's his
way of showing love. <i> I see through him.</i> Rick. What's going on? [Rick] Davey. What's up? I need some money. Okay. I got a family heirloom.
Just check that out. -It's a kunzite.
-A kunzite. Kunzite. Are you sure it's not just
a fancy piece of glass? It's been in my family
for generations and generations,
that's all I know. They only discovered
this stone right around 1900. It hasn't been in
for generations and generations. A generation? [laughs] [Davey]<i> I come to see the guys
at the pawnshop quite often.</i> <i> They can retail the stuff
I can't.</i> <i> I'm gonna get 15 grand out
of Rick.</i> <i> I mean, it's gotta happen.</i> I'd rather have the money
than a pink gem. All right. Do you know anything
about it? Yeah. I guess it's an evening
stone or something. The reason they call it
an evening stone is because Kunzite can actually fade
in sunlight. It's a jewelry you're suppose
to wear in the evening. They're really rare. -More money? Cha-ching!<i>
-Um...</i> I'm gonna have Jeff,
my gemologist, check it out. Why? You don't trust me?
You don't think it's real? -No, I don't.
-Come on! You know it's real. I thought me and Rick
were better buddies <i> because I didn't think
he needed to see a gemologist.</i> <i> You know what I mean?
He didn't need no fancy machine</i> to see that it was real. He could trust me. What's up, man? Davey says this is kunzite. [Jeff] Well, that'd be cool.
Let's do some tests. When Rick walked into my office, I was pretty excited 'cause
I don't always see kunzite, <i> let alone of one of this size.</i> All stones have clarity
characteristics which can help identify them.
If it's glass... most likely, there's gonna be
air bubbles. And so what I can see in here... are occlusions that tell me
that this is natural. -So far, good news, right?
-Yeah. But I won't know
if it's a natural kunzite until I do other tests. -It's kunzite. It's a kunzite.
-No. We're gonna find out
if you're lying. This is
a refracted index machine and it measures the way
light goes through the stone. And from that, we can tell
if this is a natural kunzite or if it's something else. And I can see through here... it has the right refractive
index to be kunzite. -So, yes, this is...
-A real kunzite. It is a natural kunzite. [Davey] Ha? I told you.
I told you it was real. How much money? How much this goes for? Something of this nature
with this size and with this color,
I probably estimate $30 to $50 a carat. Okay. How many carats
does it weigh? 323.8 carats. So, we're talking
at $30 a carat, right at 9,600 bucks,
right in that neighborhood? -[Jeff] Yeah, ballpark.
-All right. Thanks, Jeff. Thirty to 50 dollars a carat
gives this a retail value
of somewhere between nine <i> and $16,000</i> . <i> Knowing Davey,</i> he's gonna try and squeeze me
for all it's worth. Well, it's real. I feel it's worth 15 grand. $9,600 if I need one.
I don't need one. Okay? [Davey] It's big.
It deserves big money. I'll give you five grand. I mean, just plain and simple.
It's gonna sit for a long time. Fifteen grand, five grand,
ten grand. I'll go ten G's. -No!
-Please? I have to mount it in something, which is gonna cost me
a fortune, gonna use a lot of gold,
there's gonna be a big mounting. -Where are we gonna end?
-Meet in the middle? -7,500?
-I'll give you six grand. -7,500?
-Six grand. -$6,500?
-[bleeps] I mean, things like this-- You're winning.
I was at 15 grand. Come on, Rick.
Be a little bit more reasonable. [sighs] -All right, 65.
-All right. Give me your ID. <i> I don't hate Rick. [laughs]</i> I like doing business
with Rick and Corey. <i> But sometimes they win,
sometimes I win, I mean...</i> Uh, this one, they won. -Don't make fun of my picture.
-[both laughing] I was much younger then.
[laughs] [Davey] Rick, Rick, Rick.
I got something for you. [Rick]
Davey Effing Deals, what's up? The oldest samurai sword
you've had in the shop. -Really?
-Case and the paperwork. It's all in Japanese? -Yeah, I couldn't read it.
-[laughs] Good luck with that. [Davey]<i> I own
a small car dealership</i> <i> and I took this crazy
samurai sword in on trade.</i> <i> I need to turn this
into cash ASAP.</i> <i> I went from my heart.
I trusted the guy I talked with</i> and he seemed like
a straight shooter, and we're here to find out
if I was right or wrong. Where did you get this thing? I took it in trade on a vehicle, which, I hope
I didn't hurt myself too bad, Well, the paperwork
looks awfully official. [Davey] It's like 1500-era. -Okay.
-The guy was really old that traded it in, so... I kind of tend to believe him
but it's a lot of money. Lot of money. -How much you want for it?
-$18,000. -$18,000?
-$18,000. Do you know
how to open this thing? You gotta push a button
of some sort with it. Because they usually
just slide out, I know the other ones up there,
they do. The pin.
You have to push the pin out. The guy showed me,
I didn't pay much attention. You didn't pay much attention but you gave
a lot of money for it. Well, yeah. [both laughing] Not the brightest move, but... -Rocco.
-Yes, sir. How does this thing open? <i> Typical Davey.</i> <i> He did a trade on this sword,</i> and had no idea,
anything about it. He should have had it
checked out. Especially, when there's so much
money on the line. Luckily, I have Rocco,
my best weapons guy at the store and he specializes in swords. Oh, boy. So, what is it? [Rocco] It appears to be
a samurai sword. To find out if it's real, I actually have to pull
the handle off here This is what matters,
right here. This is the name
of the master here. "Yasutsugu." And then it matches
the signature here. Yup. He was a prominent sword
maker from the late 1500s. Japan's metals
were very limited. So, they would pound and fold and make the strongest
blades ever compared to the poured steel
from Medieval Europe. Yasutsugu was a master
that's pretty well-known. He made a really good sword. All right. Big question is, this [beep] thinks
it's worth $18,000 'cause someone told him that. What's it worth? That's an actual samurai sword.
It's got all the paperwork. It's in excellent condition. It's a $15,000 to $20,000 sword. -Told you.
-[Rick laughs] [Rick] Thanks, Rocco. -I'll deal with it from here.
-Right on. Thanks, Davey. I'm walking out of here
with $18,000. Come hell or high water. This is gonna be a battle
of the salesmen. He does it all the time,
but I am Davey Deals. So, we are definitely
gonna go at it. [Davey] What do you think? I'll give you ten grand for it. -Eighteen.
-Ten grand. Can you take it
to an auction or something? Is there some way I get $15,000
out of this? Come on. Um, not from me. Even if you bring it
to an auction, you get 15 grand,
they take 15 or 20 percent. I mean, I'll go like 12 grand.
Man, it's... I gotta resell it. -Well, let's trade something.
-What are you gonna trade for? You got all
the tacky jewelry you need. Tacky jewelry. [chuckles] I've been eye-hustling
your sand rail since you got it. Can we do something
with the sand rail? And then I'll get
a good fuzzy feeling like I didn't get burned
on the sword. I took in a four-seater
sand rail about a year ago. I paid over 18 grand for it,
had the transmission rebuilt and put hours and hours of fun
into this thing. -Let's go take a look at it.
-Yeah. You better have Rocco
put that thing back together -before somebody gets cut.
-[Rick laughs] [Davey] I love the cooler up
in the front. [laughs] Can you get it in to reverse. Your son keeps reminding me
about when you broke down -the tranny went out on it.
-I had the tranny rebuilt. Right. Will it idle? It sorta idles. I mean,
it's got a big blower on it, -and everything else so...
-And it's built, right? -It's gonna bap, bap, bap.
-Yeah, when you cruise around, it's fine. It's in great shape. I've had a blast in it
for over a year now. -Should we start it?
-Jump in. All right. <i> I have a bit over $20,000
invested in this thing.</i> But I know
when I fire this thing up, Davey is gonna give me
anything I ask for. [engine revving] -[Davey laughs] Oh-ho-ho!
-[engine humming] Now that I have Davey
hooked on this thing, I gotta make sure
I get my money out of it. No matter
how bad I want that sword. Well, I definitely wanna make
a deal, so let's make it happen. Okay, so give me
the samurai sword and ten grand. Samurai sword, three grand. Fifteen, three,
that gives you 18 for this. That's what I paid for it. So, you've had it for a year. You break even.
I mean, that's... No, no, no. I'm not
in business to break even. What do you mean?
This is our deal. No? -No, I know it's our--
-Money deal. It's like four grand
to get the tranny rebuilt. So, I'll go five Gs. I'll split the half
of the tranny with you. Five grand, samurai sword
put you at 20 Gs. No, no. After your 12 grand,
that puts me at 17 Gs. I'm still losing money. So give me the samurai sword
and eight grand. That's like the best I can do. All right. You got a deal. -All right, man.
-All right. I appreciate it. It'll stay in the family,
you know that. Okay. All right.
Let's do some paperwork. I walked in here, trying to get
$18,000 cash in my pocket. I ended up giving them
$8,000 cash out of my pocket Don't know how they do this,
but they do. I guess
he is the better salesman. [Corey]<i> Davey Deals.</i> -What's up, Corey?
-Come down this way. I got some stuff
you guys are gonna love. Five items. Two action figures. One for each of you
to play with. -A lunch box. Board game.
-Okay. And the<i> TV Guide,</i>
all signed by Dan Haggerty, the Grizzly Adams. You see the resemblance?
He looks just like Corey. -Yes, I do.
-[Rick laughing] Step off the beard, all right? -[laughing]
-[bear growling] [Davey]<i> I gotta be honest.
Didn't really watch the show.</i> <i> I've met Dan Haggerty
a handful of times.</i> <i> Very nice guy. Big guy. Ha.</i> <i> But the show itself, I didn't
really pay attention to.</i> I'd like to get
$100 an item. There's five there,
so that would be 500. [Rick] This is definitely cool. I liked this show. Did you ever watch<i>
Grizzly Adams?</i> Barely. I remember him
living in the woods with a bear, and that's about it. This was loosely based on a real guy nicknamed
"Grizzly" Adams. This was in the Sierra Nevada
mountains back in the 1800s, and actually had
some pet bears. He used them for pack animals and he took people out
on hunts and things like that. And PT Barnum heard about him,
eventually hired him, and did the trained bear thing
in the circus. And then, in the '70s,
they came out with a movie. It was a colossal hit
and they made it a TV series. When the movie<i> The Life
and Times of Grizzly Adams</i> hit the screen in 1974, <i> it was a smashing success.</i> <i> And after the huge success
of the TV series</i> M*A*S*H*, it was pretty common
for big hit movies to turn into a TV series. The action figures are cool.
I like 'em 'cause they are still in the packaging.
Lunch box is cool. -Does it have a Thermos?
-Yes, it does. -And he even signed the Thermos.
-No way! -Ah, bonus!<i>
-TV Guide.</i> Number one magazine
in the United States, they used to make
50 million copies a week. -Nice.
-So, it's not exactly rare. -But it's signed.
-By Dan Haggerty. How much do you want for it? One, two, three, four,
$500. No. It's cool stuff
that's from the '70s. It's all in the box.
But the problem is, it's<i> Grizzly Adams.</i>
It's not<i> Star Wars.</i> Okay? But it still got a value. I'll give you 150 bucks
for all of it. What? One, two, three,
four, five. See, Davey?
Here's the great thing. You don't know
anywhere else to bring this. No, I don't. You have no idea
what it's worth. So, guess what? -You get 200 bucks.
-200 bucks. Aw, you came up a little bit. -I give you 200 bucks.
-This isn't fair. Okay, take it somewhere else. -You want the 200?
-No. -See ya.
-Wait! 200 bucks.
If you want it, I'll get it. I'll buy lunch, 250. Two hundred bucks. -All right. Give me 200.
-All right, deal. -Meet you over there.
-What a tough grind. -Pack it up and go over there.
-All right, dude. I'll get even, you know that. I try my hardest to be
a tough negotiator with them, but the guys beat me up
and it was two against one. I had to just fold.
You can't win. [Davey] Oh, yeah.
Craps, craps, craps. Threes. -What are you doing?
-I'm gambling. I got a Cragstan crapshooter... -Okay.
-...toy. -Crapshooter.
-Yup. Crapstic. Cra... Cragstan. [Davey]<i> I found this particular
toy in the back of a car</i> <i> I had bought from an auction</i> <i> and it was up
underneath the spare tire.</i> <i> So somebody had it
pretty well-hidden,</i> <i> probably for a long time.</i> And I think that the toy
is in excellent shape the fact
that the box is with it, I think that makes
a huge difference also. I've seen this before.
They're pretty cool. This is probably, -Assuming 1950s, 1960s.
-Yeah. Um, I don't think
they sold well. And the reason why is... you're not gonna sell
this to kids. We had a much more
conservative world -back then.
-Uh-huh. You didn't buy kids anything
to do with gambling. Oh, okay. So Rick, what is it
exactly supposed to do? Well, according to this,
vinyl face with chewing motion and see him roll the dice
out of the cup. -I imagine the dice will go--
-Yeah. So, have you put batteries
on it? -Ah, I didn't try it.
-All right. -Let me get some batteries.
-Okay. Sounds good. No wonder these were not
big sellers in the '50s, '60s. I mean, what kid puts
a gambling device on his wishlist? But what the hell. I'm an adult,
I think it's pretty neat. [laughs] So, let me see
if I can make it work. And... -Nothing.
-Nothing at all. The thing is, you have
something that's like in perfect shape
but it's broken. Still, it should worth like
150 bucks. Don't you think? No, I would have give you
150 bucks for it if it worked. -Okay.
-His clothes are in perfect shape,
his hat's in perfect shape. Everything in this thing
is perfect. I mean, I could sell
the thing for like 250. If it worked. Okay?
But it doesn't work. So, I'll give 25 bucks for it. Well, it should be worth
probably 75, don't you think? I'm happy to have sell it
to someone whose got another
of these things that can put the parts
together and fix it. -So, 75?
-So, 25? -Sixty-five.
-So, 25? Fifty. We meet in the middle. -There's a little money there.
-Fifty bucks. I can't get hurt. -Come on up front.
-Cool. I'm actually surprised
he gave me the $50. I was expecting him to be
his cheap, normal self.
