  • - How in the hell did you get this through my door?

  • Whoa.

  • That is amazing.

  • These can go for a lot of money.

  • I own a really expensive book.

  • I would have sold it for less than $50,000.

  • COREY: What do we have here, and how in the hell

  • did you get this through my door?

  • Very carefully.

  • I came down to the pawn shop today

  • to sell my pinball machine.

  • It's a 1972 Williams Line Drive Baseball pinball machine.

  • I used to be a pinball wizard.

  • But I'm just too old now.

  • This is a rare find.

  • The big feature on it is it's got this animated back glass

  • where the players--

  • as you score runs, they will actually physically get

  • up and run around the bases.

  • OK.

  • These old pinball machines are really cool,

  • and the market's pretty good for them.

  • If I can get this for the right price,

  • I should have no problem selling it.

  • What are you looking to get out of it?

  • $5,500.

  • COREY: $5,500?

  • That's a good deal based on this condition.

  • I just kind of feel like that's probably

  • what I'll get out of it.

  • I'm gonna have to resell it.

  • I gotta make money.

  • I'll-- I'll do $3,500.

  • What would you say the $4,000?

  • $3,750.

  • You got a deal. COREY: Deal?

  • All right. Cool.

  • Thank you, sir.

  • I paid $800 for it.

  • I'm thrilled with $3,750.

  • RICK: Hey.

  • How can I help you?

  • SEAN: Coming here to sell a couple

  • of my Norman Rockwell prints.

  • "The Little Spooners."

  • RICK: This one's definitely cool.

  • SEAN: I came down to the pawn shop

  • today to sell my Norman Rockwell lithographs.

  • The least I would take would be probably $5,000 apiece.

  • The other print we have is "Dressing Up."

  • And there was only 60 of these made.

  • RICK: I mean, this is really neat.

  • These can go for a lot of money.

  • When people mention American artists,

  • one of the very first people they think of

  • is Norman Rockwell.

  • No one expressed American culture like him.

  • Now, the big question is how much do you want for these?

  • $8,000 apiece.

  • All right.

  • Let me get someone down here to take a look at them.

  • I just need his advice, all right?

  • SEAN: Sounds good.

  • Pretty cool.

  • What do you think?

  • BRETT MALY: Yeah, this is fantastic.

  • This is actually one of Norman Rockwell's

  • quintessential images.

  • I mean, you see this one on everything

  • from calendars to mouse pads.

  • And this work was a cover of the "Saturday Evening Post."

  • It's one that he's really renowned for.

  • RICK: So the big thing-- what do you think they're worth?

  • BRETT MALY: "Dressing Up" is not going to have the value

  • of "The Little Spooners."

  • I can't see a value on this more than about $1,000, $1,500.

  • "The Little Spooners"-- this one I could see

  • in the $8,000, $9,000 range.

  • RICK: OK.

  • So what's your best price on them?

  • I think I'd like to hang on to "Dressing Up."

  • "The Little Spooners"-- how about $8,000?

  • I'd give you, like, $4,500 for it.

  • How about $7,000?

  • I'll tell you what, I'll go $4,800.

  • Could you go $5,500?

  • I'll go $5,000.

  • All right.

  • I'll take $5,000.

  • All right.

  • Sweet.

  • Just follow me up.

  • SEAN: He needs to resell them and make a profit.

  • So I'm happy with it.

  • [CHA-CHING]

  • So what do we got?

  • My Ultra4 race car.

  • COREY: It's kind of like a hybrid between a Trophy Truck

  • and a Rock Crawler, right?

  • BILL: Yep.

  • [TIRES SCREECH]

  • To race Ultra4 competitively, you'd better spend a lot

  • of money and a lot of time.

  • You can't have another hobby.

  • RICK (VOICEOVER): Top speed in it-- what's that?

  • 100 miles an hour.

  • You want to show me?

  • Absolutely.

  • Once they see this car going, they're gonna want it.

  • CHUMLEE: Whoa.

  • Woo!

  • Awesome.

  • COREY: This thing is pretty bad ass.

  • I could see having a lot of fun with this thing.

  • We both know once you build this stuff,

  • you never get your money out of it.

  • BILL: That's why I'm only asking $50,000.

  • I'll do $20,000.

  • Could you do $42,000?

  • $25,000.

  • That's-- that's--

  • If I pull my lights, my nav--

  • Nope. BRETT MALY: --and my comm--

  • Nope.

  • I'm taking it all. $25,000.

  • How about $27,000, and I throw in the trailer?

  • We can do that. All right.

  • It's a deal.

  • Thanks.

  • CHUMLEE: Dude, when are we taking

  • this thing out in the desert?

  • Like I'd let you drive this.

  • [CHA-CHING]

  • RICK: Hey, Bernie.

  • How's it going?

  • BERNIE: How are you, Rick?

  • Can't wait to see this stuff.

  • BERNIE: This is it--

  • the Mouse House.

  • RICK: Whoa.

  • BERNIE: I've been collecting Mickey Mouse and Disney

  • things since about 1968--

  • before it was pop chic.

  • RICK: You are looking to sell some stuff, right?

  • BERNIE: Well, I've got a couple pieces

  • that I can show you that I think you'd find rather interesting.

  • Come here.

  • Let me show you.

  • I have probably the largest accumulation

  • of what they called Old King Cole store displays.

  • This is a Mickey, Donald, and another Mickey.

  • RICK: Amazing.

  • BERNIE: They were made by a company called Old King Cole.

  • There were very few made.

  • And very few survived.

  • RICK (VOICEOVER): I want these store displays.

  • I'm a closet Disney freak.

  • This is stuff that will never come my way again.

  • I need to have this.

  • So how much were you looking to get out of these?

  • I need $15,000 on the Donald, $25,000 for the pair.

  • And this one over here--

  • $12,000.

  • So if I took them all?

  • $35,000, Rick.

  • Would you go $30,000?

  • BERNIE: You're gonna negotiate with me?

  • RICK: Can we meet in the middle?

  • BERNIE: That would be $32,500, wouldn't it?

  • RICK: Yeah.

  • Congratulations.

  • You made yourself a hell of a buy.

  • RICK (VOICEOVER): I'm absolutely giddy.

  • Let's go look at some other stuff.

  • All right. RICK: [LAUGHS]

  • Hey, how's it going?

  • MAN: Pretty good.

  • This is "The Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation,"

  • otherwise known as "Jay's Treaty."

  • This is Thomas Jefferson's personal copy.

  • Whoa.

  • "Jay's Treaty" was a very unpopular piece of legislation.

  • But it was really significant because it

  • was our first major treaty with another country.

  • So if this book actually belonged to Thomas Jefferson,

  • we're talking a lot of money.

  • This is super exciting.

  • I'm assuming you want to sell it?

  • Is that why you're here? MAN: Yes.

  • Yes. - OK.

  • And how much are you looking to get out of it?

  • I'm looking for $75,000.

  • OK.

  • I'm gonna call a friend of mine.

  • I think he'll actually pee himself over this thing.

  • MAN: OK.

  • [LAUGHS]

  • MAN: If he expresses an opinion with which I disagree,

  • I won't hesitate to set him straight.

  • [VOCALIZING]

  • If this is what you said it is,

  • I'm gonna be a very excited person.

  • Jefferson had a secret way of marking his books.

  • He would put a T--

  • his first initial, T--

  • in front of the I page.

  • That is what they should look like there.

  • That is an awesome piece of American history.

  • RICK: Now, the big question is what

  • do you think this would go for?

  • BOOK EXPERT: If I were offering this to one of my good clients,

  • I'd probably put a price of $75,000 on it.

  • So--

  • OK.

  • What's your best price?

  • Well, $75,000 is my asking price.

  • I'm a buyer at $40,000.

  • I know that seems a big stretch from $75,000.

  • MAN: I could take it down to $60,000.

  • RICK: I will go $47,000, and I am--

  • I am skittish at that.

  • $50,000.

  • That's it.

  • Let me have it for $48,000.

  • I-- you know, I--

  • MAN: It's got to be $50,000.

  • It's got to be $50,000.

  • RICK: Oh, my god.

  • I cannot-- I cannot go below $50,000.

  • Deal.

  • Sold.

  • I'm very pleased to have gotten $50,000 for it.

  • I would have sold it for less than 50 grand.

- How in the hell did you get this through my door?
