Pawn Stars: "I Gotta Make Money Too!" (8 BRUTAL NEGOTIATIONS) | History

few days ago i had a guy bring me in a 1909  west point cadet jacket being that the jacket   is 100 years old and it belonged to a famous  nevada general that's huge i want to buy it   but i have to have it authenticated first so i  told the seller to meet me at the clark county   museum so we could meet with my buddy mark he is  an expert on american military sit down please   this is the infamous jacket i told you  about ah yes i'm looking forward to this   i'm the administrator for the clark county museum  system which means i run the three museums that   are operated by clark county nevada now do you  mind if i open these up and take a look go ahead   what's interesting is not just that it's a  west point jacket but it's it was a man who   made quite a career in the military he became  a lieutenant general which is quite high in the   military and he was a nevada native this is  a very unusual thing as i'm looking at areas   like the button holes here the way that those are  lined you know the the way the stitching is done   all of that seems correct to me this this has  been added on and that's probably a later piece   you can see that it's it's a different kind of  fabric it's not the same fabric as here it's been   added on probably the original one got torn it's  not wrong in that it shouldn't be on there it's   but it's a later addition to the jacket and this  is very typical this when you look at the sleeves   this this striped lining very typical it's it's a  very typical material at the turn of the century   the wear seems correct and this would have gotten  a lot of wear because in west point she would have   worn this a lot i mean i i know what you can do if  you want to fake something i see nothing on here   that tells me that that's been done so if if this  was offered to me i would take it for the museum it looks right to the time period insignia is  right the construction is right the materials   are right i think you've got a very very nice  piece here thank you and and just a wonderful coat   i've dealt with a lot of uniforms over  the years in many museum collections   and it was very nice seeing one that is from that  time period in that kind of condition because it's   very good condition and was right so in your  personal opinion what do you think it's worth   i can speak to whether it's real or not i can tell  you what i know about it but you know i can't tell   you anything on the value you can check that on  your own i've been trying to get prices out of   him for years he won't give him period he just  tells you if it's real and uh that's why i come   and see him good thanks thank you i really really  really appreciate it i appreciate you bringing it   by thank you phil for coming in thank you  appreciate my uniform the moment mark said   it was real i knew i had to have it the question  was how much can i pay for it still make a profit   all right so we know it's real now so give me  my money okay yeah well let's negotiate okay   i'm here at the pawn shop for the last time i hope  and want to get down to the negotiations of the   grass ball tunic now that we both know the  jacket is real we got to come up with the   price a few days ago he came in and he wanted  3 500 but i got to get the jacket for much less   so um hey man the big question  what do you want for it 8 500 well that's what i want for it but as far  as what's reasonable uh yeah i'd probably go   around in the 3 500 price range on it it's really  really cool but it's so hard to price things when   there's only one of them this jacket is probably  one of the most uh significant historical items   you can have in your store it has a name behind it  yeah i know it's it's really really high in peace   i mean there's nothing you have here  that i've seen that comes close to what   what this would do for your store to have  have this kind of quality in your showcase   i got to make money and i just don't know  if i can on it that's that's the problem   you mean literally i think i'd buy it for 1500  bucks about uh about 15 cash and 12 12 in trade   that i can i go 1500 cash you know i mean i don't  mean to beat you up but it's just everything   scares me to death i'm getting fifty percent  of what i was getting for diamonds i'm getting   yeah i mean the prices have dropped that much  on everything well give me some trade give   me something i want to buy something from  your store give me 15 cash and five trade okay deal sounds good yeah we did get a deal we  did get a deal all right it's cool cause i didn't   think we're gonna be able to make a deal yep  well i'm happy with the deal he bought the jacket   and uh i got some cash and i get to go on a  shopping spree hey how's it going man what's up   surprise surprise mr t i pity the fool that's what  it was yeah this is cool we have the mr t snoopy   we got the talking mr t comes with a full  tool kit i didn't know mr t was a mechanic i love mr t because he was the first gangster  like on a weekly series plus i thought it was   dope i used to rock all the chains i want to sell  them because i grew up i want 300 the least i take   for him i don't know we can negotiate maybe 150.  so you're mr t fan or who wasn't a mr t fan that's   a legend right here he's famous for being on the  a team and everyone knows what a badass he was   yeah i mean his real name is like lawrence carrod  i know he was a college football player that got   expelled his first year he ends up getting a job  as a doorman in chicago and his reputation kind   of got him a job as a celebrity bodyguard he meets  sylvester stallone who cast him in rocking three   that was just his catapult and everything else i  mean he had cartoon shows he was a professional   wrestler a team the list goes on and on so  where did you get this stuff actually um i   grew up watching him he was the first one in the  hood with the mohawk so we thought it was cool   my little cousin she had this one but these two  i had since i was a little boy okay mr t is one   of those immediately recognizable icons from the  80s and this guy's collection is awesome but i   just don't know how to put a value on any idea  of how much you want or uh three three hundred   three two three one two three damn hundred dollars  all right i have no idea what this stuff is worth   my man i'll tell you what man let me get a buddy  of mine down here who kind of specializes in   this stuff i don't want to make you an offer  without knowing exactly what it's worth okay   all right let me get my caller now be right  back he can call in this expert that ain't   nothing but more money in my pocket you heard  a guy came in looking to sell is mr t dolls   he was huge in the 1980s so they're definitely  worth something i just don't know how much so i   have johnny coming down to tell me what they're  worth mr t cool you couldn't have had the 80s   without mr t i mean he was my hero i mean to have  this back then i mean you're a pretty cool kid did   everyone wear this much gold in the 80s it was a  big thing man the story was he was a bouncer and   people that acted up he took their chains up and  accumulated all these necklaces and he wasn't the   guy you messed with of course you know he was the  man anytime you got snoopy wearing gold chains i   don't think there's a cooler snoopy out there than  the mr t snoopy mr t still has a huge nostalgic   factor for any kid that grew up in the 1980s so in  the collectible world who wouldn't want to have it   he wants 300 for all of it what's his stuff worth  all right well he looks in pretty good shape i   mean he's missing his weapons of course the snoopy  here looks like maybe the sun changes color some   but overall it's pretty clean for the taki mr t  we have the box here we've got all the accessories   as a group you're probably looking at 275 for  everything okay that's all i needed to know man   appreciate it cool man my favorite decade of toys  was the 1980s anytime you come in and see some   cool stuff to bring me back to my childhood  it's win-win for me every day damn i'm good   what did that man tell you it doesn't matter  cause i'm only gonna offer you 100 bucks   huh that's the magical mr t come on man  you know i got to make money off of it   we can't go a little bit i mean how about 1  40. when in the world are you ever going to see   a gangster snoopy with the gold chains  on homie i'll give you 110 dollars   uh 115. and we got a deal 115. all right  dude 115. you win write this guy up all   right come on hey 115 that's cool cause really  at this age what am i gonna do with a mr t dog   oh we ought to sow mr t earlier a guy brought in  an old gibson banjo these things can go for a lot   of money especially in good condition like this  one but i have no idea what it's worth so i called   my buddy jesse down to take a look hey jesse don't  quit your day joe right i know right you know a   lot of people don't know this is american this  is pretty much our instrument this was actually   really brought into the states and popularized in  the early days by by slaves believe it or not wow   this is quintessential 20s it's got the cool  inlays it's not extremely fancy you've got the   nice bridge set up you've got the grover tuners  which were the higher end tuner these actually   are original to the instrument they don't slip all  that much a lot of banjos are held in just by a   peg pushed through there everything on it appears  to be original and it's in decent shape let's open   it up and get an exact year to make sure there's  not screwy going on underneath here you know all right let's see you got the cool old gibson  decal in there okay all right and the serial   number says it is 8086-1 the this serial number  series starts in 1925 at 8 000 so it's 1925.   okay what's the damn thing worth well  i've seen some of the master tones go   all the way up to ten fifteen thousand  dollars well okay but this is the tb3   this is the beginning of the line it's a  professional one but it's lower and perfect   it's it's for the professional guy that goes out  and plays but isn't uh you know making a ton of   money a 1925 tb3 probably a good strong nine  condition it's in good shape i'd probably say about 24 2500 in this condition i was thinking a little more i've did a little  research on the internet and the most expensive   one i saw was like five thousand dollars it was  probably like a four or five or six it probably   had a little bit different inlay on the headstock  and on the fingerboard thanks jesse you're the   best man thank you all right you know after  looking at it and seeing the condition of the   banjo i don't think it would be too hard for them  to get 2 500 for it on the open market because   it is a pretty clean original piece i know you  originally wanted five grand but that's not going   to happen i'll give you 1500 for it i was hoping  for 2 000. i can't go 2000 bucks on it i got to   make money on them and you know i'm assuming  i'll get 2500 bucks for it how about 1800.   i'll tell you what i'll split the difference  with your 1650 and that's the best we can do okay 16.50 all right it's a deal thank  you sir i made 16.50 on my banjo today   and i'm gonna give the money to my mother  and father uh so that they can enjoy it   i got this uh old pocket watch i'd like for you  to look at if you might be interested in okay   that's really really cool you want a few zias   no okay uh really interesting watch can you teach  me about watches not in front of the customer i come down to the pawn shop today to  sell my old antique fusey pocket watch   this watch is awesome because it  was all handmade the complete thing   i'd like to sell today because it's my hobby i buy  and sell watches so do you know much about it so   fusee from late 1700s isaac rogers is a maker  his name is on the dial and also on the back   when they wind it up instead of using gears  it looks like a miniature little bicycle chain   okay a matter of fact these chains are so small  they used to have little kids put them together   because their eyesight was good  enough and their hands were so small   and it's running and the movement is pretty  it was probably one of the most complicated   miniature machines made because every  gear in old uz is hand cut literally   a guy had a little piece of metal and him  with a little file had to cut every year   back in the 1700s they didn't mass produce watch  parts like they do today almost every single piece   had to be meticulously handmade so watches were  extremely expensive definitely a status symbol   you know with antiques a lot of times it's  really hard to date but the great thing is   it was the law in england that they had to  have the date on them this mark right here   the lion tells me that sterling silver this  one right here which is a crowned leopard   means it was made in london and this  date code right here tells me it was made   in i actually have an app that tells me the  date code because the code's really weird   oh really you have an app yes i have an app i'm  getting technologically advanced like the kids   and there it is 1772. cool a 240 year old item  like this is going to interest a lot of people   the problem is the watch movement the whole system  inside the watch is much prettier than the watch   itself how much you want for it i'd like to get  a thousand bucks out of that's not gonna happen   old english watches like this really all depend  on the way the case is made it's how pretty it is   and this is a pretty plain case um i'd give you  like 400 bucks for it 400 man i can't sell that   for 400 bucks i don't understand why they go for  so little you would think they would go for more   how about 700 i'll go 450. i'll tell  you what you make it five and it's yours   all right 500. all right you want to write them  up something that's because paperwork i feel that   i didn't get what i really should have got out  of the watch but i understand they got to make   money also so i can live with them hey how can i  help you got an old swedish carriage strong box   where in the world did you get this found  at a farm auction in sweden actually   so what were you doing in sweden chasing blondes came down to the pawn shop today to try to sell  my 1787 carriage truck i've had it for 10 years   and i'm just tired of looking at it figured  see if i can sell and get some money for it i   paid almost 800 for it i'd like to get that out of  it so do you know anything about it it's called a   fad screen in swedish they were the strong box for  their day you'd put it on the back of a carriage   it does look the period it's the right kind of  metal work they made them out of iron they had   steel back then but it was a good 20 or 30 times  as much as iron it looks like someone upper middle   class would have bought this thing back in the  day people traveling by horse and carriage had   to deal with highway robbers even in sweden so  to keep people from messing with their stuff   they kept their valuables in a strong box  it was basically one step below a safe   that steamed wood they'd use a steam box and  lay the wood in there to make it really really   bendable flexible and then they would put it  around a mold hand-hammered rivets they would   make the rivets and then they would hammer them  cold you can't hammer them hot in something like   this otherwise it'll burn right through it turns  right through this strong box is really cool   it looks like something you would see strapped  to a stagecoach in the old west the only thing   that's got me a little cautious it's swedish and  people don't collect a lot of things from sweden   okay now how much you want ford i'd like  to get the 800 back that i've got into it i would have paid you that years ago um the market  has changed these days i understand that you know   i'm thinking like 400 bucks where in the united  states people like to collect stuff from the   united states it's just sort of the way things are  um could you do six looks like an old pine trunk   son do three no offense but this is the age that  it is and it's a rare piece can we settle at five yeah i'll do 500. okay it's yours all right  um i'll meet you right up front we gotta do   some paperwork i feel bad the guy lost money on  this deal but you know what i don't feel that bad   story's got to make money earlier a guy brought  in a collection of stuff signed by orville wright   it's a really exciting find and i hope it's  all legit so i invited my buddy drew down to   take a look so is this the orville wright  collection or alleged override collection   i'm a forensic doctor examiner so it's who done  it every day very fascinating work well over ray   as you probably know is the first man to ever  fly what's really fascinating is they really   went like 120 feet the first one like baby steps  in the beginning a couple years later they built   another prototype and they were able to fly like  over 20 miles so but uh it was one little step at   a time it's fascinating story all the way around  so what do you think of the signatures well we're   going to take a closer look overwrite signature  is very valuable excellent we're dealing with   eight different documents and eight different  signatures i've never seen that before so it's   very unique collection all right one thing we  definitely want to look for is the different   pressure you know from lighter to darker that  usually indicates that it's been written by hand   uh pressure is light to dark we want to see yeah  let's really uh break down the signature okay   uh in the capital o we're always looking for looks  more like a d than than like an o and there's a   combination of the v and the i that uh always  want to see because that's always consistent   well i'm moving over to the licenses here okay  it's awfully light and ink well i don't know you put the evidence together i'm  impressed this whole thing is good yes   it's fantastic really excellent sweet what do  you think it's worth i'm telling you i'm not   kidding around retail wise all together at least  fifteen thousand dollars yes you are the man   when he told me that the retail value was  fifteen thousand i started thinking about   all the good things i could do with that money  thanks drew all right guys thanks for calling   me in thanks a lot take care congratulations all  right so how much do you want for all this stuff   he said 15 didn't he conservatively no no that's  15 retail that's what people ask i think drew's   figure might have been a little bit high i will  give you three thousand dollars for this stuff   retails really it's all over the  place really fancy galleries can   charge really huge numbers you know i'm  pawn shop downtown by the time i sell it   it'll be seven or eight thousand dollars  but remember i'm gonna have a lot of time   effort it's gotta be framed i understand the  retail part of it yeah and that you've got to   make money i'm looking at five that's like  a third of the retail i mean how much does   it cost to frame something it's not only that i  mean there's a whole process involved i'm paying   an employee every time he shows this to a customer  and they don't buy it i always shake hands on four   literally you could get the stuff at auction  for like four thousand dollars okay basically   you're at three thousand i'm at four thousand why  don't we just make a deal at 35. all right 32. 33. deal all right good enough all right write them  up son go do some paperwork my man the wright   brothers are actually heroes of mine so having  this collection in my store is really cool what   a find earlier a guy brought in a cool painting  signed by leroy neiman i'm not really sure how   valuable it is so i called my buddy down to come  check it out brad what's going on man gentlemen   how you doing the guys usually call me down here  when they have a question about a particular piece   either value-wise or authenticity-wise or just  want to find out a little bit more about its   history what can you tell me about it leroy neiman  very distinctive style he was kind of the artistic   equivalent of ernest hemingway you know he's  a man's man he depicts a lot of heroic action   he used to have a expression fast brush strokes  make for fast action real bold bright vibrant   colors and a lot of flow and that's really what  he was renowned for leroy neiman's probably the   most famous american artist living today he became  popular in the 60s he was doing work with playboy   he was at all the super bowls all the major you  know fights and he became almost as famous as   the athletes that he drew images of do you have  any particular concerns that you wanted me to   take a look at for some reason i just feel like  it should have been signed up there instead of   down below like that that is a little interesting  because usually you'll have the printed signature   somewhere within the image however in looking at  the the print the signature's not separate it's   all one sheet of paper so with serographs you'll  get kind of a layered look so it almost looks like   there's a separate sheet of paper on top of  it but it's all part of the same piece you're   right so i don't think we have to worry about  authenticity or anything like that with this work   okay now we do have some issues condition  wise you look how discolored the margins   are and see how off-white and yellow it is  here that's a real concern in determining   the value of this particular piece all right  just kind of give me an idea of what it's worth i would say based on the condition that  it's in i would probably put a value on it   around twelve hundred dollars yeah that's not  exactly what i was hoping for it's about as high   as i can do on it i think appreciate it thanks my  pleasure initially things were sounding very good   until he started to get to the condition  and just how much that condition affected   the cost i got to make money too i would offer  you around 800 for it it's not like i'm making   a huge amount of money here  man the condition's just rough i understand that you've got to make money on it   and if 1200 is a value i'm  disappointed in the value i think your your offer is is fair so  um all right my man i appreciate it   i offered this guy a fair price and he took it  even though the conditions not great there's so   many leroy neiman fans out there i know i can  sell it earlier a guy brought in a baseball bat   in the early 1900s that's supposedly related to  shoeless joe jackson i'm not sure if it's real   or even valuable so i called in my sports  expert jeremy to come in and check it out   jeremy what's going on man corey how's  it going man so what'd you find this time   uh it's a spalding black betsy okay the guys  call me down to the shop anytime they have a   question about a piece of sports memorabilia that  needs more information about shoeless joe jackson   was widely considered one of the most natural  hitters ever to play the game and he even still   ranks third all-time in batting average he was so  good that actually babe ruth modeled his stance   after him and regarded him as the best hitter he'd  ever seen wow an old fan carved the bat out of a   piece of hickory wood they used tobacco juice to  stain it hence the name black betsy the bat became   so famous that the original black betsy sold for  nearly six hundred thousand dollars that's a lot   of money this may not be the original black betsy  that was owned by joe jackson but manufactured   bats of the all-time greats from this era are  extremely collectible okay we do see the spalding   model black betsy right there and we have the  logo mark we should see right here on the bat knob   again we do see spalding's trademark okay based  on the markings this dimension size and everything this bat is actually an authentic store  model bat from around 1915 through 1920.   all right yeah now as far as the value of  it we do have some condition issues here   the decal right here there's a lot of paint  missing then we can also see right here   on the bottom we have initials am inscribed  given the condition i would value the spat at 800 dollars 800 bucks huh yeah right  on my man i appreciate you coming in you   got it for it thank you seeing a bat that's  modeled after black betsy from joe jackson   is truly an amazing find well my man this is  definitely one of those times where calling in   a buddy of mine kind of screwed me um i'll  definitely give you your 300 bucks for it well let's talk about that a little bit because  he mentioned it could go for as high as 800 right   yeah man but i still have to sell it and i  still have to find someone that wants to buy it   all right so we're at 400 is that correct no i  told you i'd pay you 300. so you're asking me   for 400 now sure why not 400 is a nice price that  way you make money i make money everyone's happy   split the difference with me go 350. 350. okay all right deal man thank you thanks a lot  i'm really glad the experts showed up because   i'm walking out with more money that way
