Pawn Stars Review: September 5, 2011

Tonight, there are two new episodes of Pawn Stars.
In the first episode, the first guy came in with a German Military helmets, a Pickelhaube, from WWI. they had the points on them. One was an officer and the other was an enlisted man. Time for an expert, Paul. He said that there were some repairs done on the helmet but were in good shape. He thought there were worth about $2000 each. The guy wanted the $2000 and Rick offered $800 for both and then $1000. The guy was being quite stubborn but the final selling price was $1050. http://www.hessenantique.com/German_Pickelhaube_s/54.htm
The next guy brought in a WWII Blood Chit- directions for pilots. If a pilot was shot down, the pilot would give this piece of paper to a possible rescuer and it promised it would pay them for the rescue. Rick offered $40 and then $60 and then $75 and that was the deal. http://www.usmcpress.com/heritage/blood_chit.htm
The next guy brought in his Matchbox collection, which included most of the Matchbox cars. He wanted to pawn the cars and wanted $20,000. Time for another expert, Johnny, owner of Toy Shack. He said the boxes were the most valuable. He thought the collection was worth about $25 to $28,000. The seller thought was worth about $75,000. Corey tried to talk the guy out of the loan and the guy took the loan.
The next guy brought in some old Japanese video games. There were 3 games, Dig Dug, Super Dodge ball and one other Kung Fu game. I loved the Dig Dug game but never played the others . The guy wanted $4500 and Corey offered $450 and then $500 for the three and then $600. The guy then wanted $1000 and $600 was the selling price.
The next lady came in with a necklace given to her by Elvis Presley. It had over a pound of gold in it. The lady wanted $400,000. Rick offered $20,000. She came down to $250,000 and but there was no deal.
In the second episode, the first guy brought in a spoon owned by General Robert E. Lee and a pipe from Ulysses Grant. The spoon and Lee's name on them and the pipe had a cariture of Grant. The guy wanted $8000 and Rick offered $3500 and then $4000 and a selling price of $4100.
The next lady brought in 4 volumes of Don Quixote books. The books were the 4th edition which was printed in 1731. Time for an expert and said the books were worth around $1800 and Rick offered $1000 and that was the deal.
The next guy brought in a 1960's metal detector. Alexander Graham Bell invented the detector. The guy wanted $150 and Rick offered $50 and then $60 and that was the deal.
Thenext guy brought in a practice bomb from the Vietnam War. The guy wanted @200 and Rick offered $75 and the selling price $85.
The next guy brought in a horshoe from triple crown winner, Secretariat. He had also had some hair from the horse's mane. Time for an expert. Jeramey came in and said the shoe came from Secretariat and may have been used in a race. He thought the shoe was worth around $2000. The guy wanted $4500 and Corey offered $1500 and there was no sale.
That wraps another 2 new episodes of Pawn Stars. Hope your week goes well and thanks for stopping by.

  1. I watched an episode on the lady that brought a gold necklace in and she stated that Elvis gave it to her ,Every one thinks she is fabricating the story,well I hate to tell you this but it is true and she is for real, I think Rick passed up some thing he should have not passed .They stated that her name never came up when checking her out well thats because Kanani was her stage name when she was a polynesian dancer for Wayne Newton and had also lived with Wayne for quit some time.You ask how I know this well I lived with her brother for 16 years and she was kinda my sister in law.I won't tell you her real name to protect her,But the necklace I can assure you is very real. When I seen her on the Pawn Stars my mouth dropped as I couldn't believe what I was seeing,I replayed it over and over to make suer I was not dreaming.Rest assured it is her and the necklace is real .I hope you will pass this on to Rick and the other Pawn Stars people

  2. I guess you learn something Every day, the problem with her story is that she turned down 400,000! Heck Ginger sold her stuff for way less than that! Lol I can't say that I have ever heard of her but there were girls at Graceland all of the time. Looked like she knew Joe.

  4. She ASKED for 400 thou mate!Have you actually watched it you fool?
    A pawn will only give you scrap value for gold unless you can prove the Elvis connection it is scrap!In this case worth 20 thousand.No more no less!Pawn brokers are vultures that prey on the desperate,or in this case mad degenerate gamblers!

  6. I saw this episode and he wouldn't pay her the $400,000 so she refused to sell it..... She said she was a teenager when she met him and he gave the necklace to her just like his under age Priscilla. It seen like Elvis was a pedophile like R Kelly... Also I looked high and low for that episode and can't find it...

  7. I'm 63 years old. But I remember seeing her face with Elvis on the magazine years ago. She said in pawn Stars she lived with him. Interesting being that she was so much younger. She was there when he got his divorce.
