Owner: $100k - $40k - $35k - $30k Rick: I can't believe he wouldn't budge on his price

[@chrisd3037]

U should watch magic Murray's channel (the guy with tan hair)

[@triciabrown3035]

Houdini collectors (and they're out there) would payu big bucks for it!

Lol rite

[@dominikbogucki9774]

Anyone wondering, the man sold the jacket for 46k in a auction

[@jak._76]

Good. 25K is literally an insult to Houdini. Not to mention his original 15K offer.

[@jolloesteban7026]

Finally, a decent expert with good sources and accurate price range

hahahahaha i died when rick said "uuuhhhmm, i am thinking 15k" hahhahaa

[@CosmicGamingPlays]

Rick: *lowballs guy* Guy: “I’ll keep the jacket, thanks” Rick: :o

[@frankgonzalez3070]

"It's in rough shape and needs repairs" 100% correct since that is one of the reasons that this jacket is so special and deserving of way more than what rick offered.

[@mooneyes1114]

He would've called Rick Dale to restore it hahaha

[@rubbingisracing6951]

As a collector I would not want it if it looked new

[@funnykid4012]

Was thinking the same thing

[@mikenelson8377]

Damien Airalay yep! Rick just wanted something of such authenticity on the cheap, turn it around and sell it for 3-4 times the amount. The guy was very wise to keep it. He could easily get at least $50k for it.

[@Fireball006]

I mean he’s not gonna find one in better condition... like unless he goes back in time

[@nixomatt]

These comments are why I watch the videos. LOL

[@rjwalker6677]

Rick claimed the guy wouldn't budge on his price, but he did. He went from $100,000 asking price all the way down to $30,000. Rick was the one that wouldn't budge once he hit 25K. I think this one was Rick's loss. An original Houdini straight jacket would be like a holy grail to a Houdini collector. To the right collector or museum, I think it could be worth alot more than that 34 to 42 K estimate. I was amazed that Rick let this one walk out of his shop.

[@john-paulsilke893]

RJ Walker Rick knew it too but he’s not collecting this stuff, he’s selling it for a profit.

[@john-paulsilke893]

RJ Walker it was a borderline decision and they both made the right decision. We now know it sold for $47,000 but you don’t run a business with time machines. I’d say Rick was about 45% right and the seller was 55% in the right. In the end Rick screwed up but also didn’t lose either. He’ll keep making money with chopped up gold sold at 5pts under market to him and reselling when the market swings and gives him another point or two.

[@diogeneslantern18]

He is a shylock and a dunce.

Do you know what a pawn shop is? They arent ever going to pay the retail price. Pawn shops buy and sell items. If you arent making a profit on your items, you arent going to stay open. You clearly must be 11 years old.
