-
Hey, how's it going?
-
Hey, man.
-
What is this?
-
This is a Frostmourne sword from the "World of Warcraft."
-
"World of Warcraft"?
-
RICK: That's a video game, right?
-
I think it's, like, the biggest video game of all time.
-
RICK: Chum, you know about this, right?
-
How big of a nerd do you think I am?
-
[SWORDS CLANKING]

-
TYLER: I have a "World of Warcraft"
-
sword that I'm hoping to sell it today.
-
I'm a pretty big gamer.
-
I was really into "World of Warcraft" for a long time
-
and just recently decided to move on to other things.
-
It's still on its original box.
-
I have not taken it out and played with it much.
-
So as far as I can tell, I think it's in perfect condition.
-
RICK: OK.
-
Can we see it? Is it--
-
Yeah, sure.
-
Let's take it out.
-
Here, I'll help you.
-
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
-
Whoa, that thing is pretty cool.
-
RICK: Here.
-
CHUMLEE: Let me hold this right here.
-
Let me check this thing out here.
-
Whoa.
-
This thing is bad ass.
-
What do you think this is made out of?
-
RICK: The blade looks like it's made out of steel.
-
The "World of Warcraft" came out in 2004.
-
It was huge.
-
The game was so big that in 2008,
-
Epic Weapons actually started producing
-
weapons from in the game.
-
RICK: So this sword is the real-life version
-
of the sword used in the game?
-
TYLER: The sword is called Frostmourne.
-
This sword belonged to the Lich King
-
in the third edition of the game.
-
So what do you do in the game?
-
You just fight other people?
-
Yeah, I mean, there's all of these different characters
-
that you can fight against.
-
Or me and you could be on separate computers
-
fighting each other.
-
So you can fight real-world people,
-
and you can fight other characters that
-
are controlled by the game.
-
OK.
-
Is this one of those games where people stay up two
-
or three days and play it?
-
Sometimes people play this-- they play for days,
-
and days, and days, and days.
-
Oh, check it out.
-
Go ahead. [MUSIC PLAYING]
-
Hold this bad boy.
-
RICK: It's--
-
Hold it like a real sword.
-
Don't you feel bad ass?
-
No, I--
-
I feel kind of silly.
-
To be honest with you, you look kind of silly.
-
It looks way better in my hands.
-
You afraid I wield the power, Rick?
-
Frostmourne hungers.
-
I have no idea what you just said.
-
Please put it down, Chum.
-
How much you want for this thing?
-
I'm thinking $5,000.
-
RICK: Really?
-
I have no idea what this thing is worth.
-
So can you call up Steve for me?
-
Put it down.
-
I was gonna take it with me.
-
No, you're not going to take it with you.
-
Give him a call, and he'll help us out.
-
I'll be right back.
-
OK.
-
[SIGHING]
-
CHUMLEE: "World of Warcraft," the game of all games.
-
"World of Warcraft" is huge.
-
It's incredible what "World of Warcraft"
-
has done in the world of gaming.
-
It's one standalone game.
-
And Blizzard Entertainment, the company that kind of
-
created the whole thing, has netted around $9 billion
-
on the game.
-
RICK: That's a lot of money.
-
CHUMLEE: So this is the Frostmourne sword.
-
What do you know about this thing?
-
Well, you know, video game memorabilia and props
-
have gotten really, really big.
-
This sword in the game is the Lich King's.
-
You definitely had to have this sword if you wanted to be
-
one of those top-tier players.
-
So this sword became one of the most desirable pieces
-
of memorabilia, something that, hey,
-
if I couldn't get it in the game, at least
-
I could take it home.
-
RICK: OK.
-
So is this thing authentic, or is it just a knockoff?
-
So let me take a look at it.
-
Do you mind if I--
-
Sure, go ahead.
-
Now it's in dangerous hands.
-
[CHUCKLES] These things, they're amazing.
-
There's a couple really unique traits about it.
-
One, you do have the Epic branding and logo
-
on the back of the sword here.
-
And on most of the replicas, it doesn't actually
-
have the black laser engraving.
-
So this is definitely an authentic one.
-
You're looking at one of the most desirable pieces of "World
-
of Warcraft" collector items.
-
RICK: OK.
-
That said, what's this thing go for?
-
STEVE: Well, you know, these things have sold for as
-
much as $5,000 at one time.
-
However, you're going to have to find someone who actually
-
wants an authentic one.
-
Someone might be satisfied having a replica
-
hanging on their wall.
-
I think you probably are going to be able to get somewhere
-
around $1,350 for this.
-
OK, thanks, man.
-
No problem.
-
Thanks, Chum.
-
RICK: All right.
-
He just told me it's going to be hard to sell.
-
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
-
Yeah-- boy.
-
I'll give you $600 for it.
-
I mean, I don't think I can do $600.
-
Could I get $1,000 for it?
-
I have to resell it.
-
It's going to sit there for a while.
-
I'll make it easy on you.
-
I'll go $750 on it.
-
I'm not going to go a penny more.
-
I'll agree to the $750.
-
OK, $750.
-
[MUSIC PLAYING]
-
Go write him up, Chum.
-
Leave the sword here.
-
I will put it in the box.
-
You want to play with it, don't you?
-
No, I don't want to play with it.
-
I'll meet you right over there, write it up
-
while he plays with the sword.
-
Cool.
