Pawn Stars Review July 5, 2010

Another hot week in Las Vegas, with high temps in the lower 100's. (But no humidity) Sorry to hear about the heat wave on the East Coast but welcome to our world.
The first guy brought in an Civil War era flask. A flask is used to liquor into battle or in Wisconsin, to Badger and Packer football games. The guy didn't know what it was worth and then said $800. Rick offered $500 and it went for $600 for the flask. Mark came in and looked at the flask and a note that was enclosed in the flask. Mark didn't think the note was real, but the flask is authentic.
The next guy brought in a contract that the band "Who" signed to perform at Woodstock. The guy got it a garage sale. The contract was worth $4500. The guy wanted $5000. But the counter offer was $100. Hmm. The next offer was $200 and that was the selling price. I would have hung on to it and put it on E-bay. The Old Man and Corey gave it to Rick but it turned out the contract was a fake.
The next guy had a "high speed" washing machine from the early from around 1900 and the guys went to the gentleman's house to look at it. The cost of the machine, when new, would be about $5. The guy wanted $500 and a counteroffer of $200 and it sold for $250, cash money. The home these guys went to a house in the winter time and close to Mount Charleston because of the snow in the mountains. (And there is still some snow up at the highest levels of Mount Charleston)
The next guy brought in two antique dueling pistols, perhaps from the 185's or earlier. The Old Man wanted an expert, Sean, to come and take a look at them because of the lack of markings. Sean came in and showed the proof marks on the barrel that could be removed. Sean said they were real and said the value was $5500 to $15,000. The guy wanted $5000 and the counter offer from the Old Man was $3250 and that was the selling price.
The next guy brought in a 1948 Cleveland Indian pennants (Drew Carey, are you reading?) The were framed and one of them had the names of the players on it. The guy wanted $600 for both and the counter offer was $500 and that was the selling price.
In the 2nd episode, the first guy brought in a Remington 6 shot revolver from the late 1800's. It was from the Honduran army and associated with Teddy Roosevelt. The gun had no serial number and it was broken. They brought in Sean to check it out. Sean said it is real and that is a rare gun though the Roosevelt story wan not able to be verified. Sean said the value would be around $10,00 to $30,000. The guy wanted $10,000 and the counteroffer was $8,000 and then $9500 and that was the selling price.
The next guy wanted to sell a 1937 John Deere tractor. And the reason why it is in Las Vegas? Plow the desert? There are no farms in Las Vegas and I doubt there were farms out here in 1937, unless you lived north of Las Vegas. The thing is in good shape, visual wise but they did not know if it ran or not. The guy wanted $5000 and the counter offer was $2000 and there was no sale.
The next lady 12 frosted Disney figurines. The lady wanted to sell but didn't know what she wanted. The Old Man offered $250 for the collection. And the lady said it sounded reasonable and there was a deal.
The next guy wanted to sell a basketball arcade game from Romstar. It's a cross between a pinball machine and shooting game. Corey and Chumlee had a contest and it was a tie. The guy wanted $800 with a counter offer of $500-600 and so there was no sale.
The next guy brought in a Civil War era bugle. I looked real old, not like the bugle Radar played in M*A*S*H. The guy wanted to sell it and wanted $1000 and then went down to $500. They wanted to bring in an expert but the guy was in hurry. So, the guy got $150 for the bugle. So, they bought in Mark to say if it was real or not. Mark's beard is getting pretty long and he is now wearing glasses but hey, who cares. Anyways, the bugle was a fake. Meanwhile, they are going to try and sell it. Don't buy it.
The next guy brought in a clock Richard Nixon gave to the guys grandfather, the forign minister of Israel. The battery compartment was corroded, so the value went down. Rick offered $500 and the guy counter offered $1200. Rick offered $750 and that was the selling price.
And at the end of the show, Chumlee bought the bugle at cost and it sounded like a moose bugle.
