In the first episode, the first guy brought in nose piece from the SR-71 Black Bird supersonic spy jet. It was signed by a pilot. For for info: http://www.wvi.com/~sr71webmaster/sr-71~1.htm
The guy wanted $1500 and Corey offered $1200 and then agreed to the $1500 without a fight. The Old Man then questioned whether the purchase price was too much.
Corey brought in Matt, the Blue Angel pilot and Matt said the piece was not titanium but a composite of different metals. Matt said the writings on the piece were genuine and it was worth about $1500. Oops. Corey did let something out the bag on how some employees are paid. If an employee sells something, they get paid a commission on the items they sell.
The next guy brought in a solid bronze canyon, possibly from Europe. It was just the tube, not the wheels or supports. It may have come from the 1570's and came from a ship. Time for an expert. Mark from the Clark County Museum came down and said the images were wrong and the cannon was a reproduction for decorations. No sale.
The next guy brought in a huge pair of Levi's jeans. They were promotional items that were in stores. The size were W 75 and L 45. The selling price was $150 after some bartering.
The next guy brought in a large motorized homemade scooter, a stand up and ride. The the scooter can get up to 50 mph. It scooter had gears and a muffler and sounded like a small motorcycle. The guy wanted $2100 and Corey offered said to try sell it to a motorcycle company and there was no sale.
The next guy brought in a Snoopy and Red Barron music boxes that were miniature airplanes. One of the music pieces, Snoopy, did not work and no sale. Reminds me of this song:
In the second episode, the first guy brought in a 1890's Tiffany pocket watch. Rick said it was a basic pocket watch made in a factory, instead of being hand made. The guy wanted $10,000 and Rick offered $4000 and then $4200 and that was the selling price.
The next guy brought in a card collection of Garbage Pail kids. It was a spoof on the Cabbage Patch kids. Time for an expert. Johnny from the Toy Shack came in and they were collectible. Johnny said they were off about $350-400. The guy offered $200 and Rick offered $150 and that was firm and the selling price.
The guys went to a man's house to check out a Mercedes Benz Unamog. It was a 4 wheel drive off road supply vehicle. The guy wanted $22,000 and time for an expert, Danny.
Danny came in to check it out. He said the engineering was very good. They took the truck off road in the small desert area by the guys house and they were being thrown around. Danny said the truck was worth more than $18,000. The guy still wanted $22,000 and Rick offered $15,000. The guy went down to $18,000 and Rick offered $16,000, firm and that was the sale price. Seems like the guys were pretty tight on the bartering today.
The next guy brought in a sign from the Berlin Wall, that separated East and West Berlin. As someone who remembers the day the Wall came down, this would be an interesting sign to have.
The sign was in English. The guy wanted $800 and Rick offered $250 and Corey then offered $350.and that was the sale price.
The guys were talking about racing and who was the better driver, so they went out to Pole Position in Las Vegas:

The guys met Matt Kenseth who raced them and lapped them quickly but Rick beat Corey and Corey supposed to wear a pink T-shirt for a week, which he refused to do.
That wraps up another 2 new episodes. Next week, there will new episodes, but at a different time, 8:00.
Thanks for stopping by.
