That old dude on Pawn Stars can really put a value on things.
For an ex Navy man. He's still runnin a tight ship out in Vegas...
Like some of those old shooting irons they bring in there.

Wouldn't you think that if they were paying little to nothing for stuff, they wouldn't want it advertised on national TV?
He was PISSED! VERY funny. He bought it at a gunshow and was told it was purchased from an "estate". LOL - a term that means, bend over and be prepared to take it HARD.
Pretty drama free show. I'm impressed.
Of course Rick had never seen one so had to call in his "Expert" Neither one could come up with a value and then they discussed the legal aspect of transfer, and ownership and how because he didnt have an FFL license the desk would have to go through one, or a licensed gunsmith would have to "DeActivate" the gun before anyone could buy it..Oh yea , his "Expert" also said another thing is that it was a concealed weapon which also made it ilegal.[:0]
You Arizona guys, I can understand maybe a Pawn shop not buying it if it isnt a licensed FFL, but can you not sell to a private person in Arizona without transfer??
was professionally restored it would be worth $2000. "And how much would that cost?" "about $2000 dollars". [:)]
Pawn Shop owners are typically VERY wealthy people....the ultimate Capitalist, buy very low and sell for market value
I;'ve got a friend that runs his dad's Pawn Shop, he sells me stuff all the time for way below market value, but he is still making a profit because desperate people give things away.
I watched a guy walk in and pawn a mint UZI for $200.....If I had the cash on me I'd grabbed him and drug him outside and bought it for $250....he didn't care he wanted the money NOW. that UZI went up on the wall for display for over a $1000
I think you missed some of that gun shop owners remarks. He said IF it

This pretty much sums it up. I watched the same episode and the prior owner of the Colt pretty much ruined it by trying to clean it up
