These pawn stars can be stupid at times

"I have no way to know if this is real or what it's worth"... 3 minutes later... "I have seen copies sell for WAY less than that." These guys are incredible.
What a pos
how do you think they got rich xD by giving people a fair deal?
When pawn stars appears in everybody’s recommend list again.

That’s why I love Chum. 🤦♂️ the Homer of Pawn Stars.
you know he is an actor right ?
@@steffanjensen9 what kind of comment is that?
@@lmd499 that chum is an actor?
Steffan Jensen It’s a stupid comment because everybody already knows that. You are reiterating some thing that is posted on literally every video
@@lmd499 hey man many of my fammily members think it's is real be nice.
That price is such a slap in the face. Correy should be ashamed of himself.
I'm sure he's crying into a pile of money right now.
The people selling high priceless items at a pawn shop expecting a huge return and settle of pennies should be ashamed of themselves
I know you hate Corey....so you want him to pay more than what it's worth and lose money.
You have to remember a couple things. These guys, even Chumlee who plays an idiot, they know what things sell for. They've been doing this longer than any poster on these comments. Corey said he's seen ones in worse shape go for less. I believe him. Ricks Pawn shop was doing well before the show so they obviously know their stuff.
@Stan lol i feel bad for you. You obviously would fall for their cheap scams
*guy comes in literally with the Mona Lisa*
Rick: best I can do is 32.50bucks because she’s missing eyebrows
Dont forget he'll have to have It framed
Is it a man or woman chum ask
Nah Ricks not that bad, Corey just lowballs everything
Where’d you come up with that number
You know nothing about the word PAWNSHOP.
$25,000 dropped to $4,000....No love
It's a scam! That's what they're good at!
Joselito Castaneda you know this show is fake right?
Yall hella stupid
I hate when customers are asked "do you mind if i call a friend to come look at it" and they respond "absolutely" or "sure". You just said you do mind if they call a friend and everyone acts like they agreed.

I'm sad that I have seen so many of these clips that I understood that reference hahaha.

Alex Jimenez thats why they cuches😂
he offers him 4 grand what a joke lol
why? maybe the 25 grand is a joke?
dxjohncenacaz This is an authentic original replica of the Declaration of Independence. With only 1500 being made well over 200 years ago. This is easily worth $25,000+

Wasn’t it actually signed the day before or something?

Edit your comment bruh
I just stole the real Declaration of Independence.
Rick: I'm willing to go 5.29 no higher.
Well nobody would want to buy a stolen item.
@@kakap0788 easier said than done
Riku Väyrynen Seen it happen and known people that do this all the time, so really it’s easier done than said.
N Yonemura I think he would offer more than that to Nicholas Cage
Kakap0 ... And you’ll be arrested the moment you tried to sell, one-of-a-kind items are easy to trace.
I would never sell such a special piece of American history. It's priceless to me. I have a little copy I bought 20 years ago at a shop where the real declaration of independence was signed and have other copies of the us constitution framed in my office. Would love to have a real copy like that.
Rick is far better than corey. Corey just wants everything for free basically.
Vignesh y - True.
Vignesh y he’s trying to set himself up for the future when pops and dad go in the dirt.
It’s because Mr Brown and Rick got along famously
Who wouldn’t tho
He’s gotta frame it...
Listening to Cory trying to explain history is like watching a dog breed with an ant.
Reading your comment is like trying to listen to Corey while he’s explaining history.
one of those went for almost 600k in a 2012 auction
Condition severely affects price. You wouldn't think it would affect it by hundreds of thousands, but it does.
runeforeva keyword auction
Andrew Fagence Yes, it absolutely can.
Andrew Fagence that combined with the fact it isnt the set price but instead the result of people fighting for it
that's what all business guys say, i got someone "who'd sell it to me for much cheaper"
"I've seen copies in better shape go for a lot less."
Raises his offer by 50%
A lot less than $25k, not his $4k offer.
Me: Hello. can i get change for this $100?
Pawn Stars: All i can do is a nickel and a high five
Typical asshole criticizing people for no reason.
Chris Thomson Is this your first time on the internet?
Chris Thomson Pretty sure there’s a difference between memes and typical jokes

I'll just phone a friend...lol
Bearded guy never tells about how much an item is worth.
Mandip Adhikari Well he's not an apraiser.
He is a historian first and foremost
if you look at the internet this item sold for 400-500k $ wtf L for pawnstars
He believes history shouldn’t have a value attached to it. It goes against his passion for history. To him, history is priceless . They explained this in an earlier episode.
And never changes shirt...
Every time you watch a episode. Take a shot when they say:
“Do you mind if I call a buddy down here?”
Cool so two shots 🤣

In 2006, this copy of the first “exact facsimile” of the Declaration was cleaned out of a garage and donated to a thrift shop, where it sold for the thrift shop “standard price” of $2.48. The buyer researched it, had it authenticated, and sent it to a top conservator. He then sold in 2007 at Raynor’s Historical Collectible Auction, for $477,000. After post-discovery press, the donor came forward (“I was the idiot,” he said). He explained that cleaning out the garage was part of his recent pre-marriage negotiation. Out went a great deal of junk-along with the Declaration that he had bought it at a flea market for $10 a decade earlier). We acquired this document for a client in 2008.
Man Corey, I bet your dad would’ve loved to have that for his own collection unless he already has one that is. Hard to believe it isn’t more valuable!
Best I could do is 4k and a copy of battle toads!

I would never sell that. Priceless in my heart.
Here's a lesson kiddies, once a buyer starts claiming what it's going to cost him to own what you're selling but is still interested in what you're selling Walk Away! Because you can get a lot more than whatever he is about to offer.
This piece needs to be sold at auction, not a pawn shop because a private collector will pay what you're asking and sometimes twice it's value.
agree
You never ever touch a document that old with your bare hands.
How about your teeth??
Bruce Villa - You actually do. Gloves can cause far more damage. As long as your hands are clean you’re fine. The fact that 41 people agree with you and liked your comment is very sad.
Ps. Just because Hollywood movies make a big deal about wearing white gloves doesn’t make it true.
It's acid free paper, if it wasn't there would be a ziplok bag of paper shards.
Eternal Resolute - you never touch your teeth with your bare hands.

How did you end up with this?
WesleyAPEX what’s up man love ur vids

Meth trip
Makes me think of that movie, ‘National Treasure’.
I would never take anything of value to sell to the pawn stars, they're thieves
A lot of people featured on Pawn Stars take their stuff there with the sole intention of selling it online after the episode airs. So, never say never.
As far as calling them thieves, I guess you don't understand the purpose of a pawn shop.
Nah man,I think you made a mistake calling them thieves...
FOR STUFF LIKE THIS (and many other shit) BOTH OF THEM I JUST HATE AND HATE WITH THE DEEPEST PASSION THERE IS !!! And so...
You know my brother those *HighRollerThieves* almost always (98% of them) are gentleman and very,very polite and generally people.But these two...
Well these two well fed pigs are just *_JUNKIES! JUNKIES PROVEN BY THE LAW (a few times) !!!_* And they also look like they somehow found themselves in a Pawn_Shop after some bad&fucked up trip...
*_p.s. Oh yes,I almost forgot,they are also totaly,uncontrollably & utterly stupid and their never ending atupidity grows from the day they were born (and it grows by the hour) !!!! Not even dear Lord could ever help to two stupid motherfuckers such as these two !_*
Apparently they are assholes too, a friend of mine was wanting to go into the shop but was shood out because they were getting the "actors" ready
You clearly dont know how pawn stores work
You can sell it more in an auction
William Stone and Mr. Brown got along famously
shouldn't they be wearing gloves to touch it
Active debate in the community of pros and cons of bare-hands versus gloves.
And frame it to stop folding.
youre thinking of your mom
"Pretty crazy it happened on July 4th" lol
They call in Mark Patton-Hall so often there must be a zipline between the Clark County Museum and the pawn shop.
More like they put down a trail reese pieces.
ROGER2095 I'm glad they do. He is by far my favorite expert on the show. I love people that look like they genuinely love the work they do.
David Castleberry you get it
This is a real deal in 1991 it was sold at 2,420,000 USD and the pawn stars just offer 6,000 that's hilarous
The quality of this one is what's hilarious.
Running From Fat Podcast dude its old, and repairing it or putting an anti corrosive chemical on it will erase its authenticy. You can not stop the age process in every living or non living things in the world.
Why would you take it to a pawn shop?
That was a Dunlap broadside. They were printed on the night of July 4th, 1776 and distributed to the 13 colonies to announce the declaration. One was sent to the king of England. The one in this video was printed 50 years after the fact
@@LongJumpingSurprise wow, you just owned @James Balladares,, that was ruthless
"OK, we've got limited space on this declaration, so everyone try to keep your signature's relatively small"
John Hancock: No
Seller: I have the Ten Commandments that God signed and Moses carried it around.
Corey: I know you're asking for a lot and it's gonna cost me a lot to restore it and frame it. I've seen lots of these around in better shape so I'm gonna offer you $400 and a free DVD of Pawn Stars Season 1.
Seller: lol, bye.
Lol 4 grand... these guys are such crooks
lvl 100 mob boss
They are successful business men
Airportris lvl 5 crook
Not too succesful dude
Buyer beware... also, seller beware. A pawn shop is often a last, least appealing resort for someone needing money for an object that a prospective seller values. No one forces anyone to go to a pawn shop to sell an item. And a pawn shop is relying on the seller's potential desperation for money. A seller can always walk away. Just because something might be worth X does not mean they will ever realize X for it.
I love how older American coins can go for hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet basically the closest replica to the declaration of Independence supposedly goes for way less.
I just don't get.
Coins are easier to keep, so they become more collectible
@@grond21 William J. Stone Copy of the Declaration of Independence sell for 1-4mil, not sure why this is valued so low

I love that Chum is wearing basketball shorts and socks with sandals at work lmao

Haha so funny!
He knows he can get more in a private sale or auction, so a pawn shop was his first stop. Brilliant.
Corey: I can offer you 4 bucks it's only a piece of paper and its folded
funny thing was he later took it to auction and It sold for $226,871

“It’s pretty crazy it happened on July 4th” 1:28
They lose too much business by low balling folks like that
I agree some of there offers are really insulting.
Lol no they don’t. They’re millionaires. They have plenty of business and it hasn’t slowed down in many many years. They just deter people like me or you. You got to understand that they’re in Vegas and Vegas has people from all over the world going there and bringing their items they want to sell. Also they have a tv show so people want to be on it and they’ll sell for whatever price than they normally would. I’ve been there 2 summers ago and I missed the whole crew by a few days because they all literally take the entire summer off for vacation. I talked to a really cool employee they have who pretty much told me a lot. Because I was pretty upset that I missed them, especially by a couple of days. I like rick. Most of you all hate him. The reason why rick is who he is and has what he has is because of who he is and how he does things.
You trolls don't talk about banks like that every pawnshop has the same motto buy low sell high I bought a guitar off of Rick 10 years ago and he gave me good deal also pawn shops make there money in pawn deals that's where the money is like that super bowl ring Cory gave 2000 dollars for ring is worth a lot more than 2 grand and he owns it
Bobby G. this show is filmed on a studio set designed to look like the original shop. They are almost never at the original shop even when not filming.
Or save money lol
National Treasure 3: guy brings in Declaration of Independence. Guy wants $10000000000 for it. Rick: Best I can do is $4.00. Guy: Deal.
If it was the Original Declaration Highest I could could go is $3.99
Dylan 😂
"I have to make money somehow..."
Dylan YOU SON OFA BITCH 💪💪
thats a risk, but they can do is 30¢
Someone just sold justin bieber hair for $11,099 and decleration of independence $3.99

Yes.

I cussed at the monitor when dude said 4k for a original copy lmao gtfo Pawn Shops are crooks
No, they give you half of what they can sell it for, that's how they stay in business.
CHUM: "It's a really weird coincidence that it was on July 4". LOL, Chum 😊
you think it was not staged?
@@goober208 Well, he is American, so it is believable.
Goes from the asking price of $25,000 to $4,000 Grand. Right then and there I'd have said F-U and left. And he gets a mere $6,000. That document in my opinion even in the shape that it's in. Which isn't "that" bad. Would be worth $50,000+
Lionel Wan If I had that amount of money to spare. Hell yes. It's gladly part with 50k to own that piece of history. There are people who'd part with millions to own it.
They said there was about 1500 copies, so it's not like it's super rare. As Corey said, he could buy a copy in better condition for less money than what the guy wanted.
sold for 400k lol
not the same copy. this is folded up . the one sold for 400k is rolled up
1500 were *made*. Only a fraction still exist.
Corey's transformation into Carol from Where the Wild Things Are is almost complete
Ricks wife: " Oh baby give me the whole 5 inches ".
Rick: " Best I can do is 3 and I'm taking a huuuge risk here".
No chill 😂🤣
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
"John Hancock wasn't afraid of being hung" I would think not lmao
If he says 6 grand, why would you even say, I’d come down to 18. Is he expecting Corey to say oh yea okay now that’s a deal!. People annoy me
No he is expecting more money than $6000 saying he wants $18,000 shows him that he wants the offer to go up.
People who downgrade actual Collector's who know their history and information annoy me. The man asked for a very low price in the beginning.. The fact that he even offered 6k is fucking ridiculous. $22,000 when it's worth about $50-60k.
You obviously have poor negotiating skills if this annoys you
adam perea it's called haggling. He wasn't expecting Corey to agree but was testing how far Corey would come up.
Casey23UA1 I’ve seen every episode at least 3 times. It happens all the time and they RARELY come up to something close to their counter offer. If he said 6k I would of countered with something much lower than 18k. If I was willing to let it go.
It’s got some damage 🤣 Chumlee
I'm curious. What if someone brought in a genuine one, declined the offer, and later returned with a really good fake one? Sounds like a good way to rip them off.
"Pretty amazing it was signed on the 4th" lol
offers 4k then they will frame it and ask for 50k ..... pawnstars is about making $$$$, you hardly ever see any sales on the show because it would expose how much they exploit the sellers....
its not exploiting...its running a business. If you want full retail price, don't go to a pawn shop. The pawn shop does not give too fucks about the item, they are looking to make a profit off it.
He bought a katana for 6k sold it to Dana White for 9k so not that bad
I got one question for you: name me ONE business that is going to pay anyone the full retail value for any item? Do you think WalMart pays $2.79 for the milk it sells for $2.99?
It's not exploiting if the seller is stupid enough to sell it after the expert says what it is worth lol. That's all on them if they hear it can sell for say 30,000 and then take a offer of 16,000. Plus it's a pawn shop! No one who is going to resell something would pay that it sells for
"It's pretty crazy it happened on July 4th" xD OH CHUMLEE
he’s being ironic
2:18 NO, HE SAID “do you mind?” THEN THE GUY SAID “ABSOLUTELY” MEANING HE DOES MIND
Meme Vault every time on this show. It bothers me more than it should.
Guy: I have hitlers teeth
Rick: one sec do you mind if I call up hitlers dentist
Do you mind if i call a friend of mine to come down and take a look at it?
Every episode of Pawnshop is not complete without that phrase.
next up " i found earhearts plane"
Rick: il give you 10 bucks
Me:I have Jesus
Correy: I’ll give you 3$
God: I'm so gonna smite him.
Honest Dave
God: I’m bout to end this man whole career
I have the original Declaration of Independence.
Corey: I’ll give you 20 bucks for it.
The Americana Week series was led by the only known privately held copy of the celebrated William J. Stone facsimile of the Declaration of Independence for which provenance can be traced back to a direct ancestor who received it in 1824. The historical printing sold for $975,000 (estimate $600/800,000
And here we have the bill of rights
- Rick "I'll give ya 5 bucks for it"
Pawn star will never die out
Seller : hey I’ve got the original Declaration of Independence right here
Rick : let me guy my buddy George Washington so he can help us out
2:03 BOOOTY.
If he auctions it he could potentially get in the $100,000 range!
Keyword potentially!!!! Or it could go for $2000. You go find the guy with the shitty condition piece of paper, offer him 25000 and then take it to auction and get $2000 Because you took the risk then come on here and tell us how much money you lost. Damn im tired of people like u who think the pawn shop is just full of dumb people when i bet you have never owned a resale business in your life
$615,000 - 2.4 mil.
Smart guy didn’t get scammed
Corey was looking to maximize profit beyond belief with this one. 4 grand and then probably turn around and sell it in the 6 figures. That’s insane.
I wonder how many ‘friends’ the pawn stars have..
Corey asking rick for 15 dollars for a field trip as a kid
“Best I can do is $4.50”
Where would Corey have come up with the other $10.50?
@@Steveman27 woooooosh
@@vatogamer4882 He'd probably earn the rest of it by just washing Rick's car or something.
Hard to say for something like this. Condition is everything for buyers. Whatever is is worth, it will never lose one cent of the value it has and will only go up.
Customer: I have the sheet Jesus was wrapped in when he was placed in the tomb. I'm asking for $50,000.
Corey: I'll give you some bubble wrapper and a used condom. It's the best I can do I'm taking all the risk.
“Here I have the great pyramid of Giza” “best I can do is 3.50$ with a lollipop”
He probably shaved off at least a grands worth , by just unfolding and handling this old piece of paper.
Corey: Let me call a buddy to get a better idea of what this thing's worth.
Also Corey: I've seen copies that go for a lot less.
"moved with his uncle to the colonies in 1804"
I'm pretty sure the united states was a nation at that point
Expert: “Wow it’s in mint condition, it’s the closest you’ll get to the real deal, this could easily be worth thousands of dollars!”
Rick: “Best I can do is 15 dollars and a kiss on the cheek.”
A copy of the Declaration of Independence is so much more than 6 thousand dollars.
Pepe he sold it for 500k on ebay lmaoo
A copy went on online and sold for 500k this is a huge L for the pawn shop, they could have paid 25k for something worth way more then that
Always blows my mind all these documents are handled without gloves. Makes me question if the item is as fake as the rest of the show.
I like how this guy who is a curator of county museum in Nevada is somehow an expert on whatever random item gets brought into the shop.
It’s funny how they didn’t ask the pro for the worth of the copy lol
i dont think that expert ever puts a price on things
He works for a museum. Museums will never appraise and price point.. just authenticate.
Stephanie Brown ah okay thanks for clarifying that!
Watching this on the 4th of July hits different
"I need change for a $20 rick". "The best i can do is $5" :D
