MAN: This is bad ass. RICK: It's in incredibly
good shape though. Christmas is coming up soon. RICK: (SINGING) Dashing
through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh. COREY: So what in the
world do we have here? Well, this is a family sleigh. It's been in my mom's
living room for many years. It's actually been a
Christmas decoration that stays year round. COREY: Hey, pops, you know
anything about antique sleighs? (SINGING) Dashing
through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh. [laughs]
- Thanks, dad. I appreciate that. Do you know how old
it is or anything, or? MAN: It was made
somewhere between 1850 and 1880, don't
know exactly when. These things were
used in wintertime outside when it was nasty. It's in incredibly
good shape though. MAN: It is in great shape. RICK: How much do
you want for it? MAN: $4,300. RICK: Not going to happen. I will tell you what, I'll
give you $1,000 for it. Ooh. RICK: Look at it from
my perspective, OK? First off, if I sell this to
someone who's actually going to use it, they're going to
have to redo the interior, and they're going
to bitch about it. If I sell this to someone who
wants to make it a Christmas display in their store
or something like that, they're a business
owner, they're cheap. You know what? I'm looking at what
I can sell it for. MAN: I understand. There is a very, very slim
market for cutter sleighs. So I will give you $1,000. I'm sorry, I just
can't go that low. RICK: OK. All right, thanks a lot, man. Appreciate it very much. Hey, how's it going? What can I help you with? Well, I have four pieces
of original Mad Magazine Don Martin preliminary
art of the cover, one of the Christmas issues. These are very interesting,
because a lot of the Don Martin art that's available today is
his black-and-white art that's actually inside the magazine. I think these are
much more desirable, because they are
related to the cover and because they are in color. COREY: Any idea how much
you're looking to get? I'm looking for $3,000. COREY: OK. I don't know how to put a
price on unpublished Christmas sketches, so I called
my buddy Chad to come down and check them out. What do you think they're worth? CHAD: I would put these at
somewhere between $400 to $600 per piece-- around $2,400 on the high end. You still have to get
them framed and things. COREY: I'd like to offer
you around $1,000 for them. Selling them for
$1,000, I lose money. OK, well, give
me a better number. $2,000. I'll do $1,200. Ah! If you do $1,500,
you have a deal. All right, I'll do $1,500. You got a deal. RICK: Hey, how can I help you? MAN: I got this tin box here. It's fairly old. I know it's old, just by
the date on the bottom. RICK: "Christmas 1914." This was a gift to
the British troops. While World War I was
raging on in Europe, Princess Mary in England thought
it would be very, very nice for all the troops
to get a present, so they came up with
this little brass box and they distributed
it to all the troops. It also had a little
thing of tobacco in it, and they determined that
the nurses should not get the tobacco
because it was not proper for a woman to smoke,
and that chocolate would have been the nicest thing. How much were you
looking to get out of it? $200. No. MAN: What's your best offer? I'll make this really,
really easy on you. I'll give you $100. No. I'd probably be willing
to take $125 for it. RICK: It's not going to happen. And the cool thing is Christmas
is coming up, so it'll sell. If you come in next
month, I'm going to offer you less, because I'm
going to have to hold it a year to sell it. These things sell
around Christmas time. MAN: OK. I'll give you $100. OK. All right, cool. All right, follow me.
We'll write this up. MAN: OK.
- How you doing, guys? How's it going? All-righty. What I have here
today is a storyboard from "How the Grinch
Stole Christmas" drawing, with the
signature of Chuck Jones. I got about 50 Grinches
in my family, so. RICK: [laughs] This is bad-ass. This thing barely happened,
because the networks were afraid of it. They told Chuck Jones and Dr.
Seuss, find your own sponsors and maybe we'll do it. But eventually, they found a
bank that would sponsor it. What do you want for it? I'm looking to get $5,000. $5,000 for-- These go for much more in some
auctions that recently closed, and this is signed. I actually know
a Grinch I can call who might help me out with it. He'll know more than I do. - The old man's coming to work?
- No. I'm going to call Chad. So what do you think? This is a-- it's a super
cool collaboration between Dr. Seuss and Chuck Jones. So how much do you
think it's worth? My feeling is it's worth
between $2,500 and $3,000. I'd give you $1,500 for it. Ah, can't go that low. $2,250. I'll tell you what, I'll
give you two grand for it. - 21.
- Nope. Ah.
Ch-ch-ch-ch. All righty, let's do it.
- All right. Cool, man.
