  • - Hey.

  • What's up, man?

  • Hello.

  • I have a 1956 Pez space ray gun.

  • Pez candy I always thought was disgusting.

  • They started off as an aid to get people to stop smoking,

  • you know.

  • So it was a little round tablet that tasted like mint,

  • but people didn't want to quit smoking.

  • So they decided to turn it into fruit flavored candies

  • and make it into stuff, you know, kids would like.

  • When I ever got one when I was a kid,

  • I would just tear the whole package

  • open and eat them at once.

  • I thought you said you didn't like Pez.

  • I didn't, but that's how I figured that out.

  • I'm here to sell my 1956 Pez space ray gun.

  • I had the opportunity to purchase

  • a very large collection which included

  • a lot of other vintage toys and collectibles.

  • And this Pez space ray gun was one of those pieces.

  • I don't have any personal sentimental value to it,

  • but it's very nostalgic.

  • This is interesting.

  • I mean, I love Pez.

  • Like in the '60s, they started making the 3D heads,

  • and they had the little comics on the packaging.

  • I was just at a candy convention.

  • I went to the Pez people, and they

  • gave me this Pez dispenser.

  • And I looked it up on the internet,

  • and it was already going for $200.

  • Yeah, I mean, the company's lasted forever,

  • and they're doing something right.

  • How would you use it?

  • Well, so it has this little piece right here.

  • The cartridge comes out.

  • And then you just put that down like so.

  • And you're on that.

  • And whenever you would pull the trigger there,

  • the Pez would shoot out the actual front of the gun.

  • OK, I'm sure that got discontinued pretty quick.

  • You have kids just sticking a gun in their mouth

  • and shooting candy, right?

  • That seems kind of bizarre.

  • So what are you looking to do with it?

  • I want to sell it.

  • What are you looking to get?

  • I'm asking $500.

  • OK.

  • I don't know what the market on Pez dispensers

  • is like right now.

  • And one of my biggest issues is there

  • was a massive influx of counterfeit

  • and fake Pez dispensers.

  • Mind if I have my buddy Steve come down and take a look?

  • Absolutely.

  • Got a Pez dispenser.

  • That's what you called me for.

  • I'm trying to put this thing in the candy shop.

  • That's a really cool piece for you to put in the candy shop,

  • although I don't know if you can actually legally sell it

  • or not.

  • No, I want to display it.

  • Why couldn't I legally sell it?

  • If you display it, you could.

  • Why couldn't I legally sell it?

  • Because it was actually taken off the market because kids

  • had a choking hazard with it.

  • Really?

  • So it was discontinued for that purpose, yeah.

  • When you told me what it was, I was like,

  • oh, man, I haven't seen one of these in so long.

  • You know, 1956, this was basically

  • the third item that Pez offered on the market towards kids.

  • Can I take a look at it?

  • Absolutely.

  • Awesome.

  • Overall, it looks like it's in pretty good shape.

  • And then it looks like you have your gun permit.

  • You can't have a gun without a gun permit.

  • You can't carry without the gun permit.

  • That's correct.

  • This was actually your instruction sheet.

  • These are not usually available with the guns

  • because this was the first thing that would go.

  • So it's neat to see that intact and everything.

  • So I think you've got a legit space gun from 1956.

  • So what do you think it's worth?

  • These are really desirable.

  • I think you guys would have no problem getting $450 for it.

  • - Well, I appreciate you coming. - Cool.

  • Thanks.

  • See you later.

  • Thank you.

  • See you later.

  • So remind me again, how much were you looking for?

  • I'm looking to get $500.

  • What about $250 bucks?

  • How about $400?

  • How about $300, you smile and shake my hand and say yes.

  • Oh, that's a tough one.

  • $300, smile, shake your hand.

  • OK.

  • Deal.

  • Chum, you want to write him up?

  • Sure, let's go write it up.

  • I'm thrilled that I was able to make a deal here today.

  • And while it wasn't exactly what I was looking for,

  • it's enough to buy my wife a wonderful anniversary gift.

  • Ed, do you know anything about a Pez gun

  • that we paid $300 for?

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Well, it says Chum put it on shelf 127, and it's not there.

  • I checked this morning.

  • So do you know where my Pez dispenser is at?

  • If there's a Pez dispenser missing in the store,

  • I would start with the guy who owns the candy store

  • across the parking lot, Chum.

  • Which is Chum, yeah.

  • I mean, he was really into it.

  • Well, I guess I'm going to a candy store.

  • There you go.

  • Have fun.

  • What's up, Rick?

  • Is that my Pez gun?

  • It's a Pez gun.

  • I don't know if it's yours anymore.

  • Why is it over here?

  • It looks so much better in here, Rick.

  • This is the candy store.

  • This is a natural environment for this thing to be in.

  • Those are the facts.

  • All right, you know what?

  • I'm going to make this really easy on you.

  • I'm just going to take $400 out of your paycheck.

  • Wait, can I get it for 300?

  • No, and the candy bar, I get that too.

  • Lame.

- Hey.
