If they can't make a deal, the seller has the option to take the item to auction. Catch is, of course sometimes it gets higher money at auction, and sometimes not, so the gamble aspect is key to the show format.... Anyhoooo, a young lad brings in a ultra rare REMCO limited edition release spider man pendant made of solid 18k, made in like the late 70's. The young fellow had a COA signed by none other than his mother, which in my eyes made it clear that no doubt the item was 100% authentic, but not so much to the pawn guy, rof.... To make a long story short, he offered 300 for it max, and I was like YOU FOOL, go at least 4 or 5, it is like almost a half oz. of 18k, attached to a cool limited edition item you will NEVER see again. Anyhow, it sold for 750 at auction, so they understood the gold factor combined with the unique rarity of the item. He did offer half that, and he has to double his money, so I guess his offer was spot on, but still I would have considered four hundred for that rare piece, knowing it could bring more one day..... So, just wanted to share that, especially since the pendant was gold. If I ever come across one at fair price, may have to pull the trigger. I did a search on ebay and found a seller who makes them with real diamonds, as Spiderman's eyes are diamonds,and they are priced real fair I'm humble O, even in this rough economy, at just a tad bit under 7 FREAKIN GRAND lol..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Diamon...em27c10f5980 Edited by Silverhawk74 12/17/2011 11:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

That was the best part of that episode, I was literally laughing out loud watching the show. Report this Post to the Staff
Silverhawk74 Pillar of the Community United States 3670 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 12:25 am Lol CBN, good stuff eh. I have seen some great items thus far on that show, perhaps my favorite thus far being that fantastic Wooly mammoth tooth that the old guy who looks like Santa Clause bought for 1100 cash.... I think fossils would be a cool thing to collect/invest in, as it would be another item if protected like a baby, and only displayed would always hold its current value, or exceed beyond in in better economic times. And, you just don't find complete examples like that too often it appears.... I am mainly focused on Pm's right now, but one day who knows, lol....

Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 12:59 am Interesting, That is probably one of my favorite items on the show as well. That tooth was still a lot of detail on it, considering the age. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes 12/18/2011 01:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
schmidty Pillar of the Community United States 677 Posts	Posted 12/18/2011 01:59 am I saw that episode as well. I thought the best part was how the kid was sure it was worth $20,000. But then he was happy with the $750 at auction because it was more than the dealer offered. That sort of thing seems to happen a lot on that show. They give the dealer a very unrealistic price, but are happy with much less at auction as long as it's more than what the dealer offered. People are weird. ha-ha Oh yeah...I gotta agree that the COA from mom was pretty dang funny too! Edited by schmidty 12/18/2011 02:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

So smart strategy, they know they are gonna have to come down big time. Santa Clause again got that great Charley Chaplin first edition print of a book that Charley wrote in limited numbers way before his fame, and the binding needed to be replaced. He started at like 7 grand and ended up selling it for 300. The seller explained he bought it for 7 bucks at a thrift store, so sometimes you just gotta take the most offered and run. He did low ball offer on those Belgium dueling pistols, and I was like go more they will bring a killing, and they did get up in the teens at auction, like 1500 seems like.... Another interesting offer, was on those old 200 year old medicine balls from the head hunter tribe that used human skin they think to make the balls. He wanted like 11 grand, and the dealer offered way high at 1000 dollars, as he likes unusual items in his store back in North Carolina. Well, the seller was dreaming, I said he was foolish to pass on 1000 dollars, and they sold at auction for 375 bucks. The look on his face, you could tell his stomach turned instantly. Serves him right, he got greedy.... Edited by Silverhawk74 12/18/2011 3:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
