that was a raleigh episode. from her reaction she must have had some idea of how valuable they were.

djv · #7 03-09-2010, 06:39 PM

I threw my ash tray out when I stopped smoking 27 years ago. Dam!

Glenn Quagmire · #8 03-09-2010, 06:46 PM

All that was missing was for that douchebag Ashton Kutcher to run out and say she was Punked. I might actually watch that episode...

I think the guy wanted something like $10k and Rick offered him $1k, then $1,500. Needless to say, no dealio.

GUY: but your man said it's museum quality.

Rick: Yeah, but a museum won't give you any money for it

Thanks. Thought it would be cool to rig my 55 fords ignition to accept a key like that. Talk about a head turner, lol.

No problem. Yeah, that would be original! Then again, you would probably have to explain to everybody what it was.

Oh, and not that it matters, but the "expert" who came in said the keys weren't actually for nukes. It was for some kind of Russian aircraft, can't remember what exactly though.

That's about right. And after the buddy shows up:

Buddy: Holy hell, this is the original Shroud of Turin! I just pissed myself! In this condition, you could expect to get anywhere from $4 - $6 million for this piece.

Rick: So what are you lookin' to get out of it?

Customer: Well, based on what he said, $4 million?

Rick: Scratches head and grimaces... Naaaah, I'm not going to be able to get anywhere near that. I could give you, say, $300 bucks for it?

Exactly.

Love to see Rick at the Antique Roadshow:

Well sir.......the "auction price is 2.9 million", but that's the "auction price". After the "handling fee" it works out to about 200 bucks. I'll give you 20 bucks for it. This is a business, I have to make a profit.

Oh and ya think that chick would be a tad more excited

Ah, that was it. Couldn't remember what they were specifically. I liked how the guy said he was happy they weren't for nukes, because now he doesn't feel so "creepy" for owning them.

Rick..."I just don't have many people coming in looking for Russian launch keys"..

I'll give you $1500.00....

how about the Las Vegas Palace 5.00 chip.....

$6,000.00 value....

Customer" I'm here to sell my 5.00 poker chip ..only 8 left in existence!"

Chum Lee" I'll give you 5.00"

Old man.."I'll give you 3000.00"

customer" How about 3,000.00 and the rat pack statues!"

Old man" hmm, i'm asking 600.00 for them and only paid 100.00...DEAL!!"

customers outside..."3,000.00 ..I'm going to the casino....".......

Our family really like this show....

MadJack · #22 03-09-2010, 08:37 PM

I've only BEEN to a pawn shop one time and everything for sale in there was for MORE than the brand new item. WTF?

Hopefully I'll never need their services.

No chit. Back in my early 20's, I thought I might be able to get a stereo cheap for my camaro. (yes I had a mullet too) Went to a pawn shop thinking I would get a deal on a stolen stereo, they were out of their mind with the prices. Never again, pawn shop people rank right up there with politicians.

Yeah, something about that show is addicting. I think I missed a lot of the early episodes, but I've been watching it regularly the last 5 or 6 weeks or so.

Rick seems to be a bit of a tightass with his prices, but the Old Man seems to be the biggest hardass of the bunch. I don't think I've ever seen him give anywhere near what the actual item was worth. If I walked in and he was behind the counter, I think I would ask for someone else.

And yeah, I caught the casino crack by that guy at the end. Hilarious. Didn't he say something like, "Hey, I'm in Vegas. What else am I going to do with it?" That guy has GA written all over him.

SixFive · #28 03-10-2010, 03:48 PM

Rick: "I'll give you hundred dollar bills". He says that to everyone he tries to rook, doesn't he?

Jack, u mentioned pawn shops. Pawn shops and people who go there all the time form a sort of counter-culture. my brother works next to one and does a lot of consulting for them on electronic items that they have no clue about. He's made a lot of easy cash buying stuff from people and reselling. People hard up for cash who don't really know what they have. I'm typing now on my new imac that a woman brought in last week. $450 in hundred dollar bills (+50)

People just light up when you talk i hundred dollar bills. That's why Rick does it. The next few months, we see people bringing in their 'tax money' purchases that they are now trying to turn over because they've already blown through their return. I'm trying to get my brother to write a book on all the characters he has encountered and things he has seen over the years.

There was a thread over at 2+2 last month showing the link to an ebay auction that was selling TJ Cloutier's WSOP Bracelet that he pawned and never went back and got it.

I think Cake Poker bought it and gave it back to him. He'll probably pawn it again.

MadJack · #30 03-10-2010, 04:12 PM

Here's a cookie somebody posted that looks like TJ

That was a hell of a thread too.
