I talked to an employee at the Gold and Silver shot the other day and said the lines are still there. If you do go and visit, take it easy and beware of the heat. O course, if you are a local, you can skip the line and walk right in, with Nevada ID.
The story line is that Corey was really injured with an Achilles tendon injury and is wearing a
In the first episode, the first guy brought in letter by Napoleon Bonaparte. http://www.biography.com/people/napoleon-9420291
The letter was framed and came with a picture. The letter was in French. The guy wanted $10,000 and Corey offered $1500. The guy went down to $5000 and then $4000 and Corey went to $2000 and that was the selling price. Rick made Corey go to UNLV to make sure the letter was real. He met with Greg, a History professor. He said the letter was from the Battle of Austerlitz. http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/napoleonicwars/p/austerlitz.htm
It turns out that this letter was a replica/fake and $2000 down the drain.
The next woman brought in Continental currency/coin. Rick weighed the coin and it weighed too much, so I was fake/replica coin. No sale.
The next person brought in some police badges from The city of Las Vegas and from the Clark County Sheriff's department from the 1940's. One was a for a Special Deputy, a badge used by people to get themselves out of trouble. The other was the police commissioner badge of G.F. Schenck. The guy wanted $850 and Rick thought they were fake. Time for an expert, Mark. He thought the police commissioner badge was real along with the special deputy sheriff's was real.
As an aside, I have to disagree because the Las Vegas Police Department had police chiefs, not police commissioners: http://www.oocities.org/soho/museum/9837/lvchiefs.html Even Mark said that the badge was done for advertising.
The guy wanted $850 and Rick offered $500 and then $650 and that was the sale price.
The next lady brought in a replica pogo stick of the first pogo stick. The lady wanted $50 and Corey offered $20 and that was the sale price. Corey ended up running over and breaking the pogo stick with his truck.
In the second episode, the story line was Rick was taking guitar lessons and he took the lessons from Jesse from Cowtown records.
The first guy brought in a 1st American edition of Jules Verne of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_the_Sea
http://www.online-literature.com/verne/
The guy wanted $10,000. Time for an expert, Rebecca, from Bauman Rare Books: http://www.baumanrarebooks.com/about-us/locations/las-vegas-nv.aspx They are located in the Palazzo Casino.
Rebecca said the book was real and rare-50 copies. She said the book was not in good shape and worth $12,000. Corey offered $7500 and then $8500. The guy came down to $9500 and that was the deal. The guy totally schooled Corey in negotiating.
The next guy brought in an antique cork screw. It is a large piece because it was made to clamp down on a bar/table: http://www.corkscrewsonline.com/corkscrews_for_sale_catalogue_home.html
Rick had to make sure it works so he brought a bottle of wine from the backroom. The guy wanted $10,000 and Rick offered $100 and there was no sale.
The next lady brought in a jacket and banner signed from Metellica. http://www.metallica.com/
The lady wanted $5000 and time for an expert, Steve and said the signatures were real and worth $1500 for each item. The lady wanted $4000 and Corey offered $1000 and then $1500. The lady went down to $2000 and Corey went to $1750 and that was the sale.
In the end, Rick was still trying to play the guitar with the other guys trying to help.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you stay cool this next weekend.
I loved watching pawn stars. I always get amazed by the antique stuffs that people are bringing there to sell. It's a cool show.
