Pawn Stars June 29, 2010

It's another of Pawn Stars night starring Chumlee. And that is not a compliment.
In the first episode, the first guy brought in a solar therapy device which is supposed to cure 1000 diseases. The machine would filter out the sun rays. Rick offered $100 and that is what it went for.
Next up was an airplane. They went to a desert area in a neighborhood, not an airport, to see the plane. The plane used to transport troops from the Royal Navy from Great Britain. in WWII. The interior looked like crap, but the plane was not completely put together. The guy wanted $60,000 and they had to call in an extra. They called in Jamie who is a pilot. The pilot said it would cost about $60,000 to fix up. Rick offered $25,000 and that was too low for the seller, so no sale.
The next guy brought in 2 western novelty dummies (fake people, not Chumlee and his twin). The Old Man offered $500 for both and the guy wanted $700 and that was the selling point.
The next guy came in with a receipt with Andrew Jackson from the War of 1812. Rick had some problems with the receipt and so another expert comes in. Dana came in and he said it was real with a value of $4-6,000. Rick offered $2500 and then $2800. Then $2900. And that is what it went for.
Rick had a big problem with the Old Man buying the dummies. The old Man defended the decision and he named the dummies the Ed and George.
The next guy wanted to sell a Peter Lik photo print. It is a picture of a pier going out into a lake or ocean. The guy wanted $12,500. Rick offered $4000 and then $5000. And that is what it went for.
In the 2nd episode, the guy brought in a mortar that shoots bowling ball. It was home built. Why? The guy wanted $15,000. Rick wanted an expert to come in and shoot it off. Sounds like a liability risk. They brought in the expert, Leroy, who was in the very first episode of Pawn stars, not starring Chumlee, I believe. Leroy didn't want to fire it. The seller wanted $15,000. Rick offered $4000. It went for $6500, if it fired safely. They lit the thing with a lighter and it the bowling went flying, probably at least 50-100 yards. It actually was pretty cool.
The next guy brought in a WWII baby gas mask, from 1939. Time for another expert, Mark from the Clark County Museum. The guy wanted $4000 and then $3000. Rick didn't want it because it was too creepy.
The next guy came in with 1965 for a Muhammad Ali and Floyd Patterson ticket. The ticket was never used. The guy wanted $1000 and Rick offered $200 and there was no sale.
The next guy brought in an antique spot light, maybe from the 1930's. They plugged it in and it worked. The guy wanted $500 and Corey offered $100 and it went for $175.50.
The next lady brought in antique railroad stock bonds. She wanted $350 and it was a sale, with out negotiating.
So, another episode of Chumlee, starring the Pawn Stars.

  1. The Peter Lik print is taken in the Florida Keys. It was either shortly before or right after he opened his gallery in Key West. Peter wanted images that tourist could recognize and relate to on their vacation making it an excellent souvenir if you have that kind of cash.
