Never tell upfront what you want. Just say I’ll wait for the expert to give his opinion

[@GenosGlory]

Fenway Park Yes thats true but for TV its a requirement to say how much you want for it. Perhaps he could have said just a couple of thousands more.

[@m0cachin0]

I think for TV they wouldn't let you talk to Rick without having that interview before had about the item, price etc.

[@JohnDoe-re4qy]

Only works for the more expensive items though. Probably not going to get an expert for a $300 item. That said, if it was worth a lot, I wouldn't take it to a pawn shop. 😝

[@fenwaypark1725]

John Doe I Know. Gee, he wants 12, expert says 10, Ricks gonna cut it almost in half. Unless you’re in hot water, ask around and pawn places last.

[@pauldavis5665]

Or better yet, get an independent expert to give their opinion. Why would anyone trust an expert that is one of Rick's buddies?

[@xghost03x4]

Can we get Pawn Stars to 2,000,000? Rick: “Best I can do is 300, I’m taking a big risk here.”

[@leir2005]

He should have asked for $30,000. Rick would have called in an appraiser who would have came in at $15,000 and maybe the guy could have gotten the $12,500 he was asking for.

[@fxexpert4541]

Only if the expert are paid actor..those dudes has reputation to take care of

[@justafloridamanfromthe75thRR]

Why would an appreraiser say it's worth more than it actually is?

That’s not how it works He was Being Generous Saying Rick could Get $10,000

Kudos to the guy for showing Rick that being a cheapskate DOESN'T pay off

[@mrschuyler]

So you want to meet the guy's price, which was $12K AFTER the appraiser said on a good day it would sell for $10K? So Rick is only a "good guy" if he takes a loss? You guys KNOW how retail works, right? You buy at WHOLESALE, not above retail. So now he can take it to an auction house and pay their percentage instead.

[@alexbeastav]

@@mrschuyler no but atleast go up $50. The guy was willing to go down on the price. He couldve had it

[@ferratorr1033]

Michael Schuyler You’re wasting your time there, it’s sad how many people just don’t understand how the simplest things work. Running a business doesn’t make one A cheapskate. It’s called running a good business.

[@triggerhappyreviews]

I think you should open a store. Then you should buy items at at or above retail prices and see how that goes for you. Obviously you know nothing about business.

[@thewheelies6801]

An original team photo of the 1914 Baltimore Orioles, featuring Babe Ruth, sold for $190,373 at the Lelands Spring Classic Auction last year. It was a good thing he held onto it - being a rookie pic, the $10,000 valuation was so under its value, it's highly suspect. I know collectors who would pay at least $100k for a Ruth rookie team pic in that condition.

[@rotterdanner6762]

Ricks fav trick; 'So what do u want for it'? (When knowing that the owner has no idea what he has valuewise) Lets say; 300 dollars.. Expert comes in. Values it at 2000 dollars... Rick offers 500 arguiing he is almost doubling up on his first demand. And then claimes its a fair deal 🤣🙃

[@EGarrett01]

I think Rick's favorite trick is to say "what's your best price" to try to get you to give him the absolute minimum then try to pull you down from there by counter-offering even lower. I always root for the seller to simply repeat their asking price when he does that.

[@mohdtaufiq2960]

thats how pawn store works bruh..

[@baph1612]

Scam 100

[@kimothy1701]

As we know 99% of these are all set up. If you are going in to a pawn shop to sell something you always go higher than what you want. He wanted 12500 he should have asked 15k. The buyer will then place his/her counter offer and you agree to meet somewhere in the middle. What gets me is if this photo has already been authenticated, then why is there no evaluation of its price for, at least, insurance purposes. There would be no way then for the “expert” to dispute this, especially as Rick would have told him what he was going to be looking at and how much he is wanting, so he under values it. Likewise if you went in to a store you would do exactly the same, Rick asks 10k you offer 6k. It’s an old system of bartering for goods that is still used in hundreds of countries, India, Goa, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey, etc, etc, etc. We have bought loads of things when visiting these places for far less than they were asking and a lot cheaper than we would have paid back home in the UK.

[@carlosmiguel4756]

He did the right thing, that photo is worth a lot more in auction in a few years. He'll probably get double or more of what Rick offered. Pawn shop is always a bad bad deal, use only if you need the money for an emergency.

[@1state152]

I always laugh when I hear the appraisers cause we all know they call there “friends” in they tell them what the customer wants so that they can make a lower appraisal lmao

[@mewgiah8057]

Normally I think Rick can be a jerk. But in this case his offer of 7k was actually reasonable. What is it with these people, who think they can get full retail price at a store - whose job is to resell it? If he wants 10k he should find a buyer that actually wants to purchase it for themselves. Or go to an auction and risk getting far less while taking a 15% cut. Just makes no sense why anyone would think they can get full price when selling to a middle man. Doesn’t work that way.

[@guitarsrcool4922]

@@hartnathan97 the seller said he thought he could get a quick buy but Rick's response was look around here at all this other stuff that he thought would be a quick sell. He's got a lot of money tied up in things that have probably been sitting for years not to mention the valuable space it's taking up. The longer it sits the more it's prone to theft. It disrupts your money flow. You can't otherwise spend that money on other things to invest back into your business.
