hey what do we got here hey there how's it going i have a uh i guess album of old german money
okay where'd you get this um got it from my great grandpa and when he passed away i kind
of acquired some of his stuff all right it's um not geld i have no idea what that's okay
that is emergency money if suddenly government came to you and says you
can pressure your own money what are you going to do um print a lot of it
i'm here at the pawn shop today to sell an album of old german money i don't know much
about this but it looks like artwork and i think that's pretty interesting i'm hoping to sell
the album for about two thousand dollars it's interesting in 1919 at the end of world war one
the treaty of versailles was destroying the german economy okay i mean with this treaty the french
could just walk into germany and take stuff and leave and there ended up being currency and coin
shortages in germany so they basically went to all the cities and said just print your own money
okay so next thing you know every city is printing their own money what ended up happening in germany
was hyperinflation like before world war one a loaf of bread in germany caused
one mark in 1923 it cost you 100 million marks wow it's just massive inflation oh this is great 5 000
million marks oh yeah it sounds legit all these cities had a chance to print their own money so
they put like legends from those small towns on it because some are really colorful some of
the engravings real nice some of them are just hideous like this guy's like tied up
and getting burned at the stake or something like that this stuff was really really weird
so would you say it has any historic value or anything like that a little bit but
the stuff's not rare it's kind of cool though
um yeah it's kind of neat you know what i mean how much you want for it
honestly i was expecting 2 000 when i walked in the problem is it's a really small market and
there's a lot of it out there um i'll give you 200 bucks for it if you can go higher like maybe 250.
you know what i do 250. all right man thank you i do yeah i appreciate it i'll meet you
right over there and we'll do some paperwork okay thank you you gotta admit you'd have the
opportunity to print all the money you wanted to you'd probably print a lot hey how's it going
hi what do we got here i brought you an antique national cash register okay where'd you get it
this was gifted to me by an uncle of mine did you give you a receipt
i'm here at the pawn shop today to sell my antique national cash register
i got it from an eclectic uncle that gifted it to me about a year ago considering the age it
appears to be in great condition it's made out of nickel-plated brass i'm hoping to get a thousand
dollars for my cash register this is really cool this is i think a model 95 made by national cash
register everything about this company was great it's one of the very very few companies
that's been around for almost 150 years when they started off in 1884 their big problem
was convincing store owners that he needed a cash register he had sales people walk into stores like
you need a cash register well why let's place put your money well i got a box underneath the counter
and eventually what really got stores buying the cash register was ncr actually started a
campaign on like did you get a receipt for that because usually when you went to store
and bought something you didn't get a receipt this thing spit out a receipt every day and
you would know how many items were on account that made it a lot easier to keep track of what
you were selling so by the 1900s cash registers started becoming the standard in most stores
so national cash register ended up dominating the market so much
the government actually sued them under anti-trust laws because
basically every cash register in the united states was made by ncr does it work uh i don't know okay
so we have these letters right here those could be assigned to different cashiers
or different departments at your store so we're going to go on account category d
7.39
it definitely works so at the end of the day it would tell you how much you're supposed to be in
your drawer it just made the end of the day for a busy store a lot easier so what do you want to
do with it i'd like to sell it how much you want for it well it looks good it works i'd like to get
a thousand dollars um i'll be honest with you the most i can ring up is 800. i'll put a 1500
price tag on it maybe i'll get that maybe i'll get less they sit around for a long time they're heavy
they take up a lot of room you do nine eight hundred bucks is more than fair on this thing
let's do eight all right sweet got a deal i'll
meet you right over there we'll do some paperwork thanks cha-ching
