Seller "I don't know what it's worth" Rick "Well then....... Let me call my buddy who won't give us a price"

[@chaoboj]

And then after the sale he calls the buddy who gives him a price :D.

[@BlueLineChop]

Yeah MHP is a joke. Just cause HE runs a museum he won’t give a value. Idk why rick won’t tell him what he usually tells the customers which is “I GOTTA MAKE MONEY”

[@demtsar4329]

Lol

[@phettumbling9863]

David K Rick should've called Mark and Alex at the same time, at least the seller had an idea regarding the market value of his rare WWII bombsite.

[@redshark1611]

Lol

[@phettumbling9863]

"Lemme call a guy that will not give you any idea of it's actual retail price."

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

Yeah he's always got an interesting story, but in the context of what this show is actually supposed to be about he's no help whatsoever. Rick always just ends up guessing (aka lowballing) and the seller has no idea what he really has.

[@rg7792]

@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg I guess most sellers at the pawn shop buy it for less and Rick knows that.

[@BlueLineChop]

Yeah I can’t stand MHP

[@mikebutler4189]

He needs to know if it is legit first. Not all appraisers are authenticators. An appraisal is worthless if you dont verify it is real first.

[@BlueLineChop]

Mike Butler clearly. But we’re saying the seller got cheated.

[@bicpapermate]

I always think that when Rick says "Sweet" it means he would have paid more if he had been pushed a bit.

[@otaimaksimaify]

No it mean he will double or triple the value later 😂

[@Miller_Lite]

bic papermate it seem he wanted to laugh when he said it, that’s why he just kept looking down

[@stevenARTify]

I've noticed Rick never looks at them when he shakes their hands. He looks away

[@PunJee]

Rick: ‘This is incredibly rare and there’s a huge market for it’ Also rick: ‘This is going to sit on my shelve for months cut me a break’

[@MikeHawksBig69]

1. Seller doesn’t know the value. 2. Rick doesn’t know the value. 3. Rick calls a guy who won’t give a value/price. 4. Rick calls a guy who knows the value after he bought it. Rick knows he scammed that dude.

[@jeovanneramos5066]

Not the only time .

[@divyanshubisht8680]

The irony of Life is I can't find myself growing up but seeing Rick & Cena getting old!

[@Supervillain725]

Rick: "I might actually keep it then." Old Man's ghost: "Ricky goddammit, what did I tell you and Corey about keeping stuff??

[@chaoboj]

Why didn't Rick call the guy that actually gave an estimate market price when the customer was in? That is kind of shady.

[@Rockito456]

You can't trust anyone that comes in on this show. Best bet is it do their own research and counter properly.

The tyrants reign has ended.

[@Nexxarian]

Rick didn't bring the second guy in when he needed an expert because he knew he'd give it an actual value in front of the customer. Customer probably would've asked for 2k, and it would've been negotiated down to probably ~$1300 at the most. Rick saved himself hundreds of bucks by doing this.

[@xiMeSsi]

Of course he did! But the the offer was fair and cash in hand. He could've called no expert, and tried to get it for $300 bucks.

[@necrobrux8444]

World record any% speedrun of Rick scamming someone

[@sherylannnarvasa6922]

The word 'iconic' is so iconic.

[@epicbear4679]

Every pawn stars episode be like: 1. Person comes in with item 2. Rick geeks out about it, gives a lot of cool info and is excited about the item 3. Calls in an "expert", which usually says the item is worth a good amount 4. Rick offers less than a quarter of what the item is worth

[@F87Zach]

0:10 dude had no reaction 😂

[@him050]

I don’t know why they call this guy when they need a price. He’s a historian, not an antiques dealer. He’ll tell you exactly what it is and where it’s from and that but he doesn’t tend to know how much they’re worth.

[@manishjoshi2857]

Coz it's the history channel who pays for his presence.. even has a red uniform

[@StevenHanover]

He authenticates that it is not a fabrication or knock off. The price is irrelevant.

[@him050]

Haha shady move

[@scotthamp384]

That's not true. Rick had called Mark to look at railroad passenger cars from the 1930s and Mark said that the cars were with either $1 million each or together, I don't remember which

[@sanugp4990]

Nice 👍

[@xnightmare86]

INSANE

[@Richaag]

The B-24 Liberator bomber was manufactured by Consolidated Aircraft, not Douglas. Hard to believe this guy is the CEO of a company dealing with military antiques and didn’t know that.

[@BK-uf6qr]

1:06 Expert #1: “naval plane…probably…Mark 15”. (Mark 15 is a torpedo). Sells $1,000. 2:35 Post Sale Expert #2: “bomber…B-17…B-24”. 4:12 Then says “mark 16”

[@overheatedeskim054]

He tried to mug that guy off. He had the expert that doesn't give prices before he paid $1000 and then bought in the guy who can price it afterwards

Wow, to be able to tell because of where the wear and tear is, to be able to differentiate what type of plane it was on 👍

Salt water corrosion means naval aviation. Army Air Forces bombers that made it back to base intact never spent much time exposed to salt water.
