  • Hey.

  • How you doing?

  • Well, how's it going?

  • Pretty good.

  • What can I do for you?

  • Just came in to sell my helmet here.

  • How did you get this?

  • So we're at an estate sale.

  • Me and my sister and I came across and, uh, that was super cool.

  • Reminded me of a no old football helmet.

  • You know, from, like, the 18 hundreds of your football player or something Get used to be.

  • I feel like Magneto Xavier won't get anything from me.

  • I'm here the pawn shop today to try and sell my iron helmet.

  • It's really, really old looking and kind of just be something cool to have.

  • I've done a little bit of research on it, and I'm hoping to sell the helmet today, Here for about $750.

  • Man, this thing is sexy.

  • I'm by far no expert on these, but it looks like the craftsmanship of the time from the 6th 7th 8th century.

  • They obviously didn't have the same type of tools we had for precision cutting and stuff today.

  • So it just looks really, really cool.

  • It's an Anglo Saxon helmet, and they would have been warned by you know, all kinds of people.

  • Even the Vikings would have worked something similar like this.

  • I think this man out of iron, I'm pretty buff, so it doesn't seem very heavy, but I mean, probably weighs about 5 to £8.

  • Maybe.

  • I'm thinking if you get an arrow shot at your head, I'd rather have this than a piece of wood there, Right?

  • Yeah.

  • This is gonna protect you a lot more.

  • How much are you looking to get?

  • I want to get 750 for it.

  • Um, honestly, I don't know if it's worth $757.50 or $7000.

  • I really have no idea.

  • If it's really it could be worth more than that.

  • I'd like to have my guy come down to test it, see if it's from the period, and maybe we'll be able to make a deal.

  • Awesome.

  • Sounds great.

  • Find something to buy, Just in case you get some money from this.

  • Appreciate.

  • Thank you.

  • I'm really excited for an expert to come in and take a look at it.

  • I'm hoping you can authenticate it so I could get exactly what I want.

  • Hey, Bob.

  • How you doing?

  • Family.

  • How you doing?

  • Oh, whoa, it wasn't me.

  • Take a step back.

  • So that's what you called me down for?

  • I thought you said you had a sexy helmet.

  • Well, it was on me, so it was sexy for quite a few minutes.

  • No, it's not a sexy helmet.

  • What you've got appears to be unauthentic Anglo Saxon helmet.

  • But I find one in this condition.

  • You just don't find him.

  • Iron doesn't last for 1500 years.

  • What you find him?

  • They're usually powder.

  • So my guess this wouldn't have been found in the ground.

  • It would've either been in a bog or possibly a river someplace where there wasn't a whole lot of oxygen that could get to it to have it deteriorate.

  • What do you got to do to test it out and make sure it's really just little gun will shoot a little beam of X ray into it.

  • If everything goes right, the extra rough is going to show me the medals it's made out of.

  • That will tell me if his carbon steel, which is how it would have been made 1500 years ago.

  • So let's take a look at it and boots made 99.76% iron and then traces of copper, zinc chromium.

  • This is carbon steel.

  • So this is what it should be made out.

  • Okay, it's official.

  • It's a one in a 1,000,000.

  • I mean, it's that rare.

  • I've got goose bumps.

  • I just can't stand the expense.

  • I mean, this is Joe.

  • I got goose bumps now, too.

  • What kind of person would you know?

  • Collects them like this?

  • It's a museum piece or somebody who is a refined collector and wants to show off that man.

  • I've got something that nobody else has.

  • Its very desirable.

  • All right.

  • And the most important question.

  • What's it worth?

  • A lot.

  • 15,000 $15,000.15,000 dollars non Saturday and buy it for 750.

  • Shouldn't have called me.

  • Well, I appreciate you coming in My pleasure.

  • If I make a sale, I'll give you a columnist, You know, See you later.

  • All right, he said.

  • It's worth about 15,000.

  • It's a small market, but it is desirable.

  • Would you be able to take seventy five hundred seven?

  • No can do.

  • 7500 experts said a 15,000.

  • So I think we'll start at 15,000.

  • It's one in a 1,000,000 fund.

  • I'm not gonna be able to pay you 15,000 for you.

  • Got to give me some room in here.

  • What?

  • Give me a good number that you'd be happy with, uh, 11,000.

  • 11,000 is a lot better than 15,000 but still more than I want to pay.

  • 95 come up a little bit more than 95.

  • I know.

  • He was just telling you the rarity of it.

  • And the condition it's in.

  • I really can't.

  • 9500.

  • Leaves me a good amount of room and I have to sell it.

  • You could see her for a year, cause here for two days $10,000.

  • 10 big ones.

  • I'm not gonna let it walk over 500.

  • So for $10,000 you have a deal.

  • $10,000.

  • It's yours.

  • Pleasure.

  • I'll meet you over at the counter.

  • I'm in shock.

  • I had no idea was worth that much.

  • I can't believe I'm leaving here today with $10,000.

Hey.
