COREY: What do we got?
This is some vintage hand restraints.
I have several pieces which you guys look at.
Wow.
Are you just into some really kinky stuff, or?
Yeah man, I'm kinky, all right.
[WHIPPING SOUND]
GARY: I'd like to sell my handcuff collection
today to do some much-needed remodeling for my house.
I bought my collection over the years because they were unique,
and now they're highly collectible.
I would like to get $12,500 for this collection.
My bottom line will be $7,500.
GARY: I was a correctional officer in my career.
Just been picking them up for the last 20 to 25 years.
These are single-hand restraints-- or commonly called
a Come Along.
If you were handcuffed behind the back,
and a prisoner was bucking, then you
would use one of these devices to help him get
to where you need him to go.
COREY: Yeah.
This was back when a handcuff was more of a torture device
than a hand restraint. GARY: Exactly.
COREY: Technically, they're supposed to be used
so you can't move your hands.
GARY: Right.
COREY: These, they put this on one hand,
and if you move they just snap your wrist.
GARY: Exactly.
COREY: So you just take this one and just slap it on.
Twist this thing.
No, don't you dare, dude.
Come over here, right now!
Get over here!
Just that little bit hurt, man.
COREY: How old are some of these?
GARY: This one-- patented 1894.
The Pratt combinations-- the first model came out 1916.
They almost all kind of look like corkscrews a little bit.
GARY: Almost.
Now that one hurt.
And then if you weren't satisfied with the--
you twist it.
COREY: Yeah.
I can see how that could be really effective there.
Oh, yeah.
This was one of my favorites.
These old handcuffs are pretty cool
and more than a little creepy.
Before modern handcuffs came out,
there was all kinds of torture devices,
and I certainly wouldn't want to be restrained in any of them.
COREY: How many do you have altogether?
I would say there's about 80 pieces in here.
OK.
How much are you looking to get out of them?
I'm looking to get $12,500.
COREY: OK.
You've got a lot of pieces here, man.
Do you mind if I have a buddy of mine come down
and just kind of take a look of them?
GARY: Who are you calling in?
COREY: He's a magician.
Magician?
And he has a humongous collection of handcuffs.
GARY: Oh, OK.
Why not.
A second opinion is always welcome.
They need to be informed on what these are
and how rare they are.
MURRAY: So here's why we called you up here, Murray.
We want to watch you get out of one of these.
Really?
[LAUGHING]
The reason they called me is because I'm
a massive collector.
And these handcuffs are extremely collectible because
they don't make them anymore.
MURRAY: Wow, you got a whole bag full.
GARY: Correct.
MURRAY: This collection looks really cool.
This is a policeman's hook.
GARY: Correct.
MURRAY: 1884.
That's a really rare item.
And then you have a Malcolm here.
These are, basically, the old version of a taser.
If you had these around someone's wrist,
you could take them down on their knees, instantly.
And it actually twists and actually puts pressure
on the prisoner's wrist.
GARY: Correct.
MURRAY: You know, what I really want
to do is I want to have a look through the bag
that you have all this stuff in. - Oh, absolutely.
- Is that OK? - Yeah.
All right.
Sure.
MURRAY: You really have a lot of stuff here, huh?
GARY: Oh, yeah.
MURRAY: Wow.
Look at all these chain nippers.
Whoa.
All right.
So what kind of weird dungeon do you have in your house?
No dungeon.
Just a game room.
Entertainment.
I'd hate to get entertained by you.
MURRAY: It's definitely entertaining.
So give me an idea.
What do you think all of it could be worth?
MURRAY: These are very collectible.
I mean, this is the Pratt Model One.
This one Houdini did actually have in his collection.
There's only 700 of these made in the world.
That's it.
Wow.
MURRAY: I mean, these alone are between $700 and $1,000 each.
I would say this collection would
be worth very close to $10,000.
I see at least $12,500, $13,000 in it.
That's piecing it out one by one, though.
If you want to sell this whole collection,
it takes a certain buyer.
All right, Murray, man.
I appreciate it, buddy.
- Thanks a lot, guys. - Thank you.
Good luck. Pleasure meeting you, man.
Pleasure meeting you.
This is an awesome collection, all right.
I'm glad Murray was able to tell us how rare
these restraints actually are.
They're definitely worth more than their weight
in scrap metal but selling them piece by piece
can take a long time.
You're asking $12,000 Murray says $10,000.
You know, who knows what I'm going to get out of them,
selling each one of these one-by-one.
What's the least amount of money you're going to take for them?
$9,000.
There's some rare pieces in here.
COREY: You know, it took you 20 years to get this collection.
You know.
I'd hate to see it take me 20 years to sell it.
Well, it won't take you 20 years.
Would you go $7,500?
$8,100 with the keys.
All right, man.
You got me. $8,100. - $8,100.
All right, deal.
Chum, you going to write them up?
All right.
GARY: $8,100 is going to get me a new kitchen.
And if I got the money, I'll start all over.
