Pawn Stars Review: December 26, 2011

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a shout out to the unsung heroes for the day after Christmas workers- trash collectors and the people who work at the return counters at the big box stores.
Two new episodes today. in the first episode, the first guy brought in a Nicholas Tesla Prototype motor, the first one ever made. It had been in a vault at Cornell University. It's an induction electrical motor for AC electricity. For more information: http://www.invent.org/hall_of_fame/143.html Rick didn't know much about it, so time for an expert, Mark from the Clark County Museum. Mark said it wasn't the original motors and the seller disagreed. There was no sale.
The next guy brought in some anti gravity Nike Mags shoes. They look like the shoes that Mary McFly wore on the Back to the Future II. The guy wanted about $10,000. Chumlee revealed that he had 200 pairs of shoes. Chumlee came back with a bid of $1500 and there was no sale.
The next guy brought in a vintage VW Beetle that did not run. It was black with red doors, not very pretty. The guy wanted $7000 and Rick offered $3000 and then $4000 and that was the selling price. Rick wanted to make it a family project. That didn't work out so well as they had to take it Danny's Kustom Count auto shop because they didn't have the jack or the tools. They had the car working soon and it cost $3300 because it didn't have a fuel pump and starter.
the next guy brought in a Saleman's Sample Ice Box. It's a small ice box, about a foot tall and had a window on the door and was from the 1920's. The guy wanted $1000 and Rick countered $600. The guy came down to $800 and Rick came back with $700 that was the deal.
The next guy brought in a Breguet Lamborghini dash clock. Obviously, no digit, it had the hour, minute and second hands. The guy wanted $3000 and Rick offered $2000 and then $2300 and that was the selling point.
In the 2nd episode, the first guy brought in a 1500's Albrect Duer Print. http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/durer/
No expert available. Rick offered $5000 and the guy wanted $6000. Rick was firm at $5500 and that was the deal. They took the print to Brett for an appraisal. He said that the print was worth around $20,000 because it was not one of the first prints, it did come from original print plate. If it was the first print, it would have been worth about $350,000.
The next guy brought in a Spuds McKenzie light up decoration. Spuds was big seller for Bud Light in the 1980's. The guy wanted $100 and Rick offered $40 and that was the deal. More about Spuds: http://ask.yahoo.com/20060626.html



The next guy brought in a customized 3 wheel customized hot rod motorcycle, which had just about everything on it. It was a two seater It was an automatic transmission, a Mack truck horn and even a TV. The guy wanted $50,000 even though he put in $100,000. Time for an expert, Danny. Danny said The trike had a Stroker motor and was quite impressed, but not that impressed. He said the bike was worth about $15,000. Rick offered $10,000 and there was no sale.
The next lady brought in a pre-civil war Dageurreotype camera. Rick said it was not a Dageurreotype camera but still was a antique camera. The lady wanted $5000 and Rick offered $15000 and then $1750 and that was the selling price.
The next guy brought in a Boss Hoss trike motorcycle. It had a 1957 read end on it plus a large car engine and a reverse gear. The guy wanted $28,000 and Corey offered $15000. There was no sale.
