[@GeorgeSquare]

if he genuinely thought it was gonna go for 120-125k in the next months, there's no way he'd take it to a pawn shop and try to sell it for 80

[@KingRiverVlogs]

He might, if he needed some quick cash right then.

[@ericvi3921]

Because auctions take up to a third..... Which turns 120 into 80. Or 90 into 60. Oh and that's only if it even bothers to sell at a high price. Might only auction for 50 or 60..... Auctions are a gamble.

[@Shakester71]

A big difference from what something has sold for and what someone thinks its worth. Its like how most people overvalue their car based on sentiment, but when they look up its value in a blue book, they get shocked that its worth so little.

[@stevesalt8003]

Most of the stuff on the show is junk when you take away the history and sentiment. The coin is only worth it's weight in metal. However they'll always be sentimental collectors making this junk valuable.

[@roostertheCat]

Even if it did sell for $100-120k, you still have to deduct taxes and potentially auction fees from that. If you command a premium above the market value for a product, then don't walk into a pawn shop expecting to make bank.

[@CookinginRussia]

@HackFuey - Auction houses charge 10% typically. The most they charge is 30% and that's a premium place like Sotheby's and ONLY if the item sells for some very small amount because otherwise it isn't worth their trouble. Obviously you have never dealt with an auction house.

Because he would have to pay 25-30% commission in any auction, so if he sold it for £120k thats like £84-90k after the commission, Rick would have have known people who would have wanted it and he would have paid 0 commission.
