When a woman came into the store to try and sell her unique looking brooch, she had no idea that she was holding one of the most expensive items to ever come through the doors. Apparently, she had received the brooch from a relative and was hoping to get a few thousand dollars for it.

After examining the brooch, Rick knew that it was worth far more than what she was asking for and offered her $15,000 instead. Even though Rick didn’t try to rip the lady off, it was later discovered that the brooch was a genuine Fabergé piece worth upwards of $80,000.

A private seller and classic car collector/enthusiast who calls himself “Uncle Phil” approached Rick with a 1932 Lincoln Roadster. Uncle Rock had bought the iconic car from a museum and wanted $100,000 for it. Unsurprisingly, Rick fell in love with the car but was still unsure about spending $100,000 on it.

Rick knew it would be difficult to find a buyer since there was such a small market for vehicles as specific as this. Finally, he offered Uncle Phil an amount of gold worth around $95,000.

When New England Patriots defensive back Brock Williams walked through the doors, there was little doubt that he was in possession of something authentic. As it turns out, he sold his New England Patriots Super Bowl Championship for just $2,000 as collateral for a loan.

The ring is made of white gold with 143 diamonds. Rick was interested at first sight, and since Williams never came back to pay off the loan, the ring legally belongs to the shop. In total, the ring is worth around $100,000.

Regularly, a 1941 Gibson guitar would be worth around $75,000, but after it was proven to have been owned by Stephen Stills, the price shot up to $105,000. Rick offered the seller $85,000, and the man handed over the guitar.

When a seller arrived at the store with 3,000 ounces or nearly 200 pounds of silver, Rick was impressed but also hesitant to make an offer. The seller had shown up with countless bags full of silver blocks that he wheeled into the store.

Supposedly, his father had told him to invest in precious metals and he listened to his advice. Now, he was ready to cash in. Obviously, Rick had the metal tested and it proved to be 100 percent silver. Rick offered $111,000 for the silver and the exchange was made.

Rick was quick to make an offer and flipped them for $128,000, around $32,000 each. Rick always makes it clear that if you ever have an opportunity to acquire gold, it’s in your best interest to buy it.

When a woman came into the shop with a ship’s bell that she said dated back to 1602, the Harrisons were skeptical about the whole thing. People come in all the time claiming they have something extremely old only for it to turn out to be fake.

Supposedly, the bell was from a ship owned by the Dutch East India Company, but it didn’t look like it had ever been in the water. Of course, the Harrisons called up an expert who said the woman was telling the truth, making the bell worth $15,000.
