I don't even know why people would go to a pawn shop for something this expensive. Professional guy guesses $50k wouldn't surprise him at auction.. and sells for $27.5K? I mean some people are desperate for money asap but that's such a horrible deal. What's stopping this guy from selling at an auction or another source for more at least?

If you want to see some nice antique guns you could watch C&R Arsenal and Forgotten Weapons channels on youtube. This show is so cringy.

RICK: Hey. How can I help you? I'd like to try and sell this Colt revolver. [MUSIC PLAYING] RICK: This is cool. Do you know much about it? PAUL: I know it's an old piece-- I want to say 1800s. This is a very early Colt Single Action Army. This is-- this is 1870s, and everyone wanted them. And they also had the world's greatest advertising campaign-- God made all men, and Colt made them all equal. The Colt Single Action Army, really, was just incredibly revolutionary. I mean, this was the most high-tech thing around in the 1870s. Before this, it was-- you've seen the old movies, them, you know, packing the guns with gunpowder and putting a ball in. This-- this had cartridges. This was super accurate. This had interchangeable parts. This shot straight. It didn't break. I mean, it was just a high-quality gun. And this is an incredible set of grips. You have a federal eagle here. You have the shield, the lances. These were twice as much money as any other comparable gun to them. This is the dream gun of every Colt collector. If you have ever seen a Western, you've seen this gun. I want this thing. I want this thing. I want this thing. But I have to make sure everything checks out. So where did you get this thing? PAUL: I'm a bail bondsman, and somebody put it up for collateral. And they never paid off the bond, so they surrendered it. This is an appraisal on it. I took it in for $25,000. That's what they owe. That's what I'd like to get. OK. Um-- and they're saying an obvious factory reversal of the numbers. It's often the case with arms engraved and nickeled. So you want 25,000 for this? Yeah. RICK: Do you mind if I have someone take a look at this thing? I mean, I just have a lot of questions on the gun. I mean, it's really weird that you have two serial numbers on the gun, but if everything checks out, maybe we can make a deal. PAUL: Great. OK. Hang on five minutes. I'll get him down here, and we'll go from there. OK. RICK: (SINGING) Ah. Wow. It's a pretty neat gun. My big fear with things like this is, usually, when it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true. What do you think? I mean, at first look, it's-- it's gorgeous. What's really nice about this is this is a known pistol. This has been in two books, and one of them is the Colt Bible. So it's a Single Action Army, seven and a half inch barrel, which was the standard cavalry length. The Single Action Army changed everything. I mean, this is the gun that won the West-- also known as the Peacemaker, the Colt .45. I mean, this started it all. RICK: Cool. ALEX: The grips are the thing that makes everybody go wow. You see this here, this high relief? These are Civil War scenes. Colt didn't make that grip. There was a retailer-- the largest retailer of firearms in the United States was Schuyler, Hartley, and Graham. This style grip is extremely rare. You see it more on older pistols-- percussion pistols. But on a Single Action Army, this grip is-- these are hen's teeth. RICK: All right. But there's some, really, weirdness with the serial numbers. ALEX: Most Colt collectors go, I want all matching serial numbers. But I think it's a pretty fair assessment to say, look, these were hand-stamped. They were making them-- thousands-- and shipping them out. And that could just be a simple mistake. It could drive the value down a bit, but there's so much right about this beautiful gun that, you know, for me, I would still want it. RICK: So we have an 1876, really fancy Colt. You got a piece of magic here. RICK: OK. So what is this piece of magic worth? ALEX: [SIGHS] I would say that, at auction, I would safely guess that this would sell for $35,000. If it went above $50,000, it wouldn't really surprise me. Wow. I was thinking it was going to be a little bit less than that, but I'm not surprised. I mean, it's a beautiful piece. [SIGHS]. OK. Well, thanks, man. ALEX: You are welcome. Appreciate it. ALEX: OK. Thank you. ALEX: This gun is an excellent buy for the shop. The model is known as the Peacemaker, but if Rick can get a good deal, it'll be known as the money maker. All right. So $25,000-- no problem. [DRAMATIC WESTERN MUSIC] I mean, what's your best price? You give me $40,000, I walk out the door. No. At $40,000, you're walking out the door with the gun. PAUL: Even though you can sell this for $55,000, $60,000 here? No, no, no. He says maybe. $35,000. I'll go $26,000. $27,500, gun's yours. We got a deal. Great. I'll meet you right over there. PAUL: Honey, pack your bags. Because I'm taking this $27,500, and I'm going to take the whole family on vacation.
