this is really cool how much were you
looking to get out of it fifty five
thousand it is really cool but I have my
doubts how you doing oh pretty good what
do we got here
it's an old 1847 Colt Walker pistol cool
how much you want for it well I was
thinking fifty thousand so if you don't
mind I'm gonna call a friend I'm gonna
get him down here have a look at the gun
see what he has to say okay
you look hand cannon up in the
dictionary you see what Colt Walker I
mean if this is a big gun the key to
determining value on a gun like this is
to really find out which Colt Walker
brevet that it is okay and there is
basically only one that has a lot of
value made in Belgium okay you should if
it was made in Belgium find a Belgian
proof market it would be L G leash
that's what they'd stamp on the gun
here's the deal I don't want to be the
bearer of bad news but I can't find a
proof mark the Belgian proof mark on it
without the proof mark it's impossible
to tell what this is where it's from I
wouldn't let this gun go for anything
less than $10,000 I don't think yeah
there's there's no way I could pay that
well what's it worth to you like three
grand would you maybe entertain six nope
thank you
appreciate it hey how can I help it I
have a letter written by Franklin Delano
Roosevelt in 1922 cool let me see it is
it an amazing how presidents usually
write like doctors dear al would you
have a talk with my old friend Robert
pratter he has an insurance matter which
has already been well taken care of
by mr. but Larry scribble-scribble
Franklin D Roosevelt yeah so basically
it's a letter he's ready to some guy
named al hoping he takes care of some
insurance matters yes okay so how much
you want to get out of it 15,000 15,000
do you mind if I have someone look at it
I have a friend she deals and documents
like this okay great
all right so whip out the apparatus
here what I have is essentially a
dossier of different secretaries who
signed FDR's name over the years you can
see how many different secretaries there
were and what we really need to compare
it to is the signatures of Roosevelt's
own handwriting from about 1921 to 1923
the D and Franklin D Roosevelt tends to
be pretty different you can see here it
almost looks like an N or even a W so
you think it's legit yes now what do you
think it's worth 1,500 how much do you
want now I don't know if I would want to
sell it now all right sorry for the bad
news I've got an 1884 Colt that was in
the Wyoming range Wars and the book that
goes with it there's nothing like a good
book after a good shooting so how
exactly did you get the gun my father
got this from the great great
granddaughter of Fred Coates who was one
of the guys in the Wyoming range Wars so
who exactly was Fred Coates he was a
sheriff in the area that was hired by
the land barons to drive the little guys
out of town either by hanging or killing
so depending on which side you are on he
was either a villain or a hero
exactly so what proof you had at this
Blancos I have a letter from his
great-great granddaughter who she
inherited it from how much were you
looking to get out of it
I'd like 55,000 so let me get someone
down here okay now one of the things
that kind of just jumps out at me
immediately is this documentation is
done in two different ink colors and
then this part that directly references
the Colt
is listed in a different ink color so do
you think this actually blogged Coates
it's really hard to make that connection
we can't say definitively that this
particular gun was owned by Fred Coates
I'd give you like 1,500 bucks
yeah I don't I'm just not gonna be able
to do that I think maybe I'll see if I
can maybe get some more provenance
better luck next time you know I have a
book that I'd like to sell it was Harry
Wright's baseball score book from 1876
okay Harry Wright was one of the
innovators and baseball organized
managed and played centerfield for Red
[ __ ] pretty much the first professional
baseball Tim 1876 it was the Red
Stockings red seconds true how much do
you want for it well I'm thinking in the
$5,000 range
do you mind if I have someone look at it
is a day Harry write book well we'll
know for sure he goes on all up here he
writes books I've seen he's signed it as
a score yeah right here on the bottom
there's a section we have score now on
this page right here it's blank as well
as this one on this one we do have a
score are low it's kind of tough to read
but it's definitely not Harry Wright's
signature there okay you're looking at
maybe 500 bucks thousand I mean do you
still want to sell it once I still want
to sell it how about 400 mmm how about
eight how about 400 how Bette eight
realistically I give you 500 bucks for
it okay I've got a custom motorcycle I
want you to take a look at I got a back
lot over there I'm gonna bring it around
yeah sure all Riley Trebek hey thanks
what can you tell me about the bike man
it's a 2006 Thunder cycle it was
designed and built by Eddie Trotta this
was really cool and he built this bike
for the actor James Caan the James Caan
seriously what are you looking to get
out of it 20 mm let me ask a buddy of
mine who will know a little bit more
than me you mind if I hear it start up
now sure Wow nice bjaaland dog Chris
what do you think it's worth ten
thousand you told me you wanted 22,000
for the bike I mean the only way I could
think of selling this bike is pulling
the motor pulling the trans and the
drivetrain out that being said I can get
that drivetrain used for about five
thousand bucks I couldn't let it go for
that we're too far apart thanks for your
time thank you
you
