CHUMLEE: How are you doing?
Good. How are you?
I'm good. What do you have here?
Some 1920s Paris Metro train car seats, not from Paris--
Paris down the street.
[LAUGHS]
Pretty cool.
Yeah, that's our Paris down the street.
Yeah, [LAUGHS]
I'm coming to the pawn shop today
to hopefully sell a 1920s Paris Metro
train car seat that I have.
I've had it for about two years now.
And I love unique antiques.
But we're remodeling.
And at this point, we could probably
use a little extra money.
So we thought, well, maybe somebody else would enjoy them.
Well, where did you get this?
I picked it up at a little antique shop.
And I originally thought they were San
Francisco trolley car seats.
But then just looking at the back enameled panel,
I found out they were actually from Paris, from the '20s.
CHUMLEE: Yeah, these do look like they're from the 1920s.
But the Paris Metro had been around
for a long time at that point.
The underground transportations had kind of a service
around 1845, when they first started
talking about building them.
And then in July 1900, the first line was created.
It was known as line 1, and it still runs today.
Oh, I didn't know that.
This looks like it would have been from the second class
because there was first class and second class up until 1991.
OK.
CHUMLEE: And the first class were
nice, padded comfortable seats.
And these don't look padded to me.
More comfortable.
[LAUGHS]
CHUMLEE: Yeah, let me see.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah, I mean, they're not bad.
But if you had a long ride, that's kind of, like--
it makes you sit--
Good posture.
Yeah, it makes you sit very proper.
Right.
Let's take a look at the back over here.
Yep, it has the number II on it, which
lets you know that this was not the first class,
it was second class.
[LAUGHS]
This is kind of the coolest part about it, I think.
I agree.
It's definitely got some wear and tear.
But it's in pretty good condition,
overall, for as old as it is.
So how much are you looking for?
I like to get $2,499 for it, if I could.
How about $700?
That was a little lower than I had hoped for.
Any way you can go a little bit higher on that?
I could probably do $1,000.
But it's a specialized sale.
And this could take a long time to get rid of.
Could you do $1,300 by any chance?
[SIGHS]
How about $1,200?
If you could just do the $100 more,
that would be great, if there's any room.
CHUMLEE: You know what?
I don't see any point on passing on it over $100.
That sounds like a deal. - Great.
CHUMLEE: $1,300?
Yes.
Let's write it up.
TAMI: All right.
I was really happy to make the sale today.
I didn't get asking price that I wanted for the train seats.
But I really felt the $1,300 was a really fair price,
and excited to have that, and put it toward the home
improvements and a trip to see the grandkids.
