Pawn Stars Review: October 31, 2013
Happy Halloween and hope everyone had a nice Halloween and got pretty of candy.
In the first episode, the first guy brought in a metal Coca-Cola school crossing sign from the 1950's and weighed about 100 pounds. The guy wanted $5000. There was rust on the back, so it wasn't it in the greatest shape and Rick offered $400. The guy went to $3000 and there was no sale.
The story line is that the store brought in an efficiency expert. They brought in a fast talker, Brad Sugars. http://www.bradsugars.com/ /among other things they talked about cross training the different employees. Chumlee wanted a bunch of free stuff like a ping pong tables, nap stations and free food. Chumlee converted a desk into a ping pong table and a relaxation room. The acting was really, really bad in this segment.
The next guy brought in a Colt Dragon pistol. The gubn had a name on it, J.P. Coles. The guy wanted $13,000. Time for an expert, Craig. He said the was the gun was legitimate and worth about $8500. The seller went down to $12,400 and Corey offered $9000 and no sale.
The next guy had a Muhammad Ali picture, a picture painted by Ali. It was a picture of a ship going through a channel, on a river, with a lighthouse. The guy wanted $5000, It did have Ali's signature and it was time for an expert. The expert said the painting/print was real and it was worth about $1000, Rick offered $600 and the guy came down to $800. Rick offered $700 and that was the sale price.
In the 2nd episode, they were talking about Halloween and what costumes to wear. Turns out the old Man doesn't like going under ladders and Corey is afraid of trees.
Speaking of Corey, he is starting to grow a beard.
Corey and Chumlee were the Blue Brothers and Rick was some guy from Breaking bad. Corey came as Beavis and Butthead. Corey then went as Peter Griffin, the Old Man was spider Man and Rick went as Bruce Willis in Die Hard.
The first lady brought in a 1977 Mattel football game. I had this game when I was a kid. The seller kind of looks like Ashley from Hard Core Pawn. The lady wanted $90 and Rick offered $25. The lady offered $75 and Rick went to $40. The lady went to $45 and that was the sale price and the game was Ricks, for himself.
The next guy brought in a 1933 Plymouth. all the parts were there and the guy wanted $30,000. Time for an expert. Steve came as the expert- no more Danny. They took a drive in the car but the owner would not let anybody drive it. Corey thought that was suspicious. I saw a car like this on the highway this afternoon, though I don't think this was the car. Steve said there was a hiccup in the engine. Steve said the car was worth about $25,000. The guy wanted $20,000 and the Old Man offered $16,000. The guy went down to $18,500 and the Old Man offered $18,000 and that was the sale price.
The next guy brought in a 1800's Derringer pistol. The guy wanted $5000 and Rick offered $600 because it was missing pieces. The guy then went to $4000 and Rick offered $850 and there was no sale.
That ends another 2 new episodes. I hope you have had a Happy Halloween and thanks for stopping by.
The Plymouth is now in my garage in NewZealand.
