Why do so many folks struggle with basic economics? If you sell to a pawn shop you will get less than retail because its cash now, no advertising, auction fees or waiting months to find the right collector. When the pawn shop employee tells you they're taking a risk, they are! The item might sit for weeks, months or years until the right person comes in and each month (or quarter) the shop is obligated to pay taxes on their inventory. You as a seller make a choice; unload the item quick and simple or wait. If you have something that might do well at auction please keep in mind there is a 20 - 30% auction fee that you'll pay before the auction house pays you from the sell.
Freezuh they're not worth that kind of money maybe if it's a Survivor well taken care of never been abused or never out in the weather especially bad weather I believe at the very most a bike like that would be worth between $1,800 to maybe $2,200 but I have seen bikes like that when I find them go for less than $1,000.
Corey: Geeze, these have round tires and handlebars...no one is looking for that now....no generator? Well, this is the best I can do man. $1.97 for the pair.
Any collector knows restoring a collectible item devalues the item so it's better to keep a collectible in its original form. In regards to the Schwinn Black Phantom, I own the original Schwinn Black Phantom that was used in the original Back To The Future film.

Its business at the end of the day, if the seller is happy to shake the hand at that price what is the problem ! there is no scam here, he could of walked away with the bikes.
@@nopalboxellanos925 that's a pretty good price but was it missing any hard to get parts or was it that it's going to cost you at least $1,200 to restore the bike?
@@nopalboxellanos925 you're right about that especially in small parts and decals it just adds up real quick especially when you go to Bicycle swap meets among friends do a little wheeling-and-dealing sometimes it can get out of hand but other than that that's what makes this Hobby fun.
That was a heck of a good price for the seller. If it weren't for the "show", a pawnshop could never make money paying $3k. I think a typical P-S would have offered $600 for the pair. I have an original Phantom & Panther and paid a fraction of that, without even bargaining. My gorgeous Green Plantom was bought in May 2019.
Why take them to a pawn shop unless there broke, sell via an auction or in a specialty online where you can set a reserve price. $3,000 he gave them away, I'd hate to be that broke.
Because this is a contrived show. This is all staged for TV, to give the show some material. I am not doubting the Pawn shop bought the bikes, but the guy probably got paid a lot more money than what was mentioned on TV.
If your dumb enough to go there and sell an item, you deserve what you get. I see it all the time, people are just plain stupid or just wanting their few minute of stardom
sl1950 sl1950 a pawn shop resell the items they get... of course they're going to lowball so that they can turn a profit. If the dude selling it wanted to get the full value of what they're worth he would go through the trouble of selling it himself.
$3,000 was a steal for the pair if in fact both bikes are entirely original in parts and no repo parts. My 1972 Apple Krate disk original paint and NOS tires and Accessories is worth near that price.

Freezuh they're not worth that kind of money maybe if it's a Survivor well taken care of never been abused or never out in the weather especially bad weather I believe at the very most a bike like that would be worth between $1,800 to maybe $2,200 but I have seen bikes like that when I find them go for less than $1,000.
Corey: Geeze, these have round tires and handlebars...no one is looking for that now....no generator? Well, this is the best I can do man. $1.97 for the pair.
If you want a decent price for your things, DON'T go to a friggin pawn shop!!!
If this was staged and they were actors, this was really believable
I would have paid 4000 for both... and still feel like I robbed them.
what a rip off, I also would have jump on both of those bikes at that price.
This guy got ripped off a good one. The chrome work would have cost that.
Any collector knows restoring a collectible item devalues the item so it's better to keep a collectible in its original form. In regards to the Schwinn Black Phantom, I own the original Schwinn Black Phantom that was used in the original Back To The Future film.
Its is very little money 3,000
Cory, since sir they were $54 new and now they are used I will give you $5 and a punch in the face
Scumbag, could have given him $4,000 and still made money on those beauties
I won't sale it for 3k,no way..!
Anyone know the daughters name for research purposes only? 🤔
Creep alert
Now those are some sweet bicycles not quite as powerful as the Mongoose 29 on Dorothy right Dorothy turkey correct and buck correct Joyce
@@awesomeone2979 mostly for children but I have seen some adults riding them what the 24in wheels or up to 26 inch wheels even I had a go at it riding one with 24 inch wheels back in my days in high school it was a blast that is one gets older yes you leave it for the little ones to have fun.
Its business at the end of the day, if the seller is happy to shake the hand at that price what is the problem ! there is no scam here, he could of walked away with the bikes.
@@awesomeone2979 you don't want to think that way pawn shops are there to buy and sell and to make money and they to have to pay for overhead.
He should have sold them online
Those bikes are worth $2500-3k each
chumlee has a bank full of money and a head full of air
Guy found em free at a heavy duty trash pickup easy 3k profit
dude you got robbed wtf
check out my video. i bought one similar for 800. but its not restored
@@nopalboxellanos925 that's a pretty good price but was it missing any hard to get parts or was it that it's going to cost you at least $1,200 to restore the bike?
Gary Quail it actually looks very good unrestored. Everything is good watch my video on my channel, it’s the straight bar with a tank
Gary Quail it probably would cost a lot more to restore TBH. Even if you have all the parts, paint chrome and decals aren’t cheap
@@nopalboxellanos925 you're right about that especially in small parts and decals it just adds up real quick especially when you go to Bicycle swap meets among friends do a little wheeling-and-dealing sometimes it can get out of hand but other than that that's what makes this Hobby fun.
Here’s a little wake up call for all the people coming to this pawn shop, STOP COMING IN AND GET IT TOGETHER. THEY ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK THEY ARE.
does corey wear a bra?
The Maulers yeah him and chum are the same cup size.
I couldn't sleep at night treating people like Pawn Stars does.
D.B. Allen They don’t sleep at night, they are meth heads.
They're worth 3-4k each.
I have one I’ll sell you for $4k since that’s what you think they go for
That was a heck of a good price for the seller. If it weren't for the "show", a pawnshop could never make money paying $3k.
I think a typical P-S would have offered $600 for the pair. I have an original Phantom & Panther and paid a fraction of that, without even bargaining. My gorgeous Green Plantom was bought in May 2019.
Why take them to a pawn shop unless there broke, sell via an auction or in a specialty online where you can set a reserve price.
$3,000 he gave them away, I'd hate to be that broke.
Anytime a pawn shop say that not going to rich off of you there lying there going to make more money off you
If you want what it's worth, don't take it to a pawn shop.
Why don’t these people just sell them on the internet they’ll make more money then pawning them
Because this is a contrived show. This is all staged for TV, to give the show some material. I am not doubting the Pawn shop bought the bikes, but the guy probably got paid a lot more money than what was mentioned on TV.
Maxx Domrongchai Quick drug money, in this case coke for the hottie.
People always buy these bikes especially in cali
Yes this is a fake show. Yes it's staged. No one would sell to a pawn shop. It's for entertainment only.
Corey's a putz and so are the people selling the bikes Corey just said old guys are collecting them now 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That vato needs a class from Jamie Escalate on his ones and two's cuz he just got ripped off by that fat gringo, and smiled the entire time. 😆
Gringo? Yeah, Harrison is a really Italian name.
Looking to pawn or sell? NO ONE EVER PAWNS HERE.
Bike are like a new. 3k for 2 bike thats a rip off.
Every item is bought in by collectors and not for sale. Fake
The daughter was awesome. First time I've ever seen a woman not finish a guy's sentence for him
When he is talking
I'd buy them, $2,000 each all day.
Why do people go there and sell stuff for peanuts.Ever heard of the internet ???
pawn stars ripoffs
If your dumb enough to go there and sell an item, you deserve what you get. I see it all the time, people are just plain stupid or just wanting their few minute of stardom
sl1950 sl1950 a pawn shop resell the items they get... of course they're going to lowball so that they can turn a profit. If the dude selling it wanted to get the full value of what they're worth he would go through the trouble of selling it himself.
$3,000 was a steal for the pair if in fact both bikes are entirely original in parts and no repo parts. My 1972 Apple Krate disk original paint and NOS tires and Accessories is worth near that price.
JBL G
crappy restos loaded with repop junk, wrong color green, the list goes on. Pawn stars trash and garbage parade as usual
+JBL “azsting64” G you got that right
I know more then you will ever know ass. I'm a big time collector of Schwinn bicycles for years.
@@sting64az now there's one guy that knows more about Schwinn bicycles than any other person used to live in Southern California and his name is Leon Dixon the one man you would never ever argue with when it comes to these kind of bicycles this guy has a really big collection a balloon tire bicycles.
He's full of crap Schwann sells big time
Rip off.at time easy $7000
They were taken on this deal. My close friend and one of the best bicycle collectors, spoke with the old man while visiting, and showed the old man that nearly every part was a repop and not original. The old man was upset that hos shop was scammed.
They are worth more than that. He should have contacted Mike Wolfe from American Pickers and got $3K a piece minimum
Lo robaron compa. Disculpe pero la dama es muy bonita.
Fake
i cant stand listening to chumlee. He ruins the show. He just lucked out being part of this gig. He makes it awkward.
Just one cost $3000
