- I'VE GOT THIS MARTIN TIPLE.
- I THINK IT'S
PRONOUNCED "TEE-PLAY."
I DON'T REALLY KNOW
HOW TO "TIPLE" IT, DO YOU?
ON TONIGHT'S EPISODE...
A CUSTOMER TRIES TO
SHOOT FOR THE MOON.
- WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS
THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
OF THE LUNAR LANDING
MODULE, APOLLO 11.
- IT WAS ONE OF THE
GREATEST EVENTS
IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.
HOW MUCH YOU WANT?
- $100,000.
- WHOO.
CHUM GETS HIS HARLEY
TRAINING WHEELS.
- I WANNA SEE HOW BADASS THE
HARLEY SCOOTER MAKES ME FEEL.
- I DEFINITELY DON'T
FEEL LIKE A BADASS.
- AND WE HEAD OUT TO
THE SHOOTING RANGE...
- HOWDY, BOYS.
- TO SETTLE A DISPUTE...

- HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?
- GOOD DAY, SIR.
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
- I'M DOING GREAT.
WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?
- WHAT WE HAVE HERE
IS THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
OF THE LUNAR LANDING MODULE,
APOLLO 11.
- OKAY.
UM, THIS IS PRETTY AMAZING.
THE LUNAR MODULE, AKA THE EAGLE,
WAS THE FIRST MANNED SPACECRAFT
EVER TO LAND ON THE MOON,
AND WE POURED
TONS OF MONEY INTO IT.
WE SPENT $50,000,
I THINK IT WAS,
DESIGNING A SPACE PEN,
A PEN THAT WOULD WRITE IN SPACE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE RUSSIANS USED?
A PENCIL.
- I CAME TO THE PAWN
SHOP TODAY TO SELL
MY APOLLO 11 LUNAR LANDING
MODULE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS.
THE PICTURES ARE
A REPRESENTATION
OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE
TO THE MODULES INSIDE
THE LANDING VEHICLE.
THE CONDITION IS GOOD.
IT HAS BEEN IN A SEALED
SAFE FOR, UH, MANY YEARS.
IT HASN'T SEEN THE
LIGHT OF DAY UNTIL TODAY.
- INCREDIBLE STUFF
HERE. APOLLO 11.
IT WAS ONE OF THE
GREATEST EVENTS
IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.
BUT I MEAN, IF YOU JUST THINK
ABOUT THE TIMELINE HERE, OKAY?
1958 WE PUT OUR
FIRST SATELLITE UP,
WHICH BASICALLY DID NOTHING.
IT BEEPED, I THINK.
I MEAN... AND THEN
12 YEARS LATER,
WE ARE LANDING ON THE MOON...
♪ ♪
WITH A ROCKET THAT'S,
LIKE, 300 FEET TALL.
I MEAN, WITH A COMPUTER
THE EQUIVALENT OF A
POCKET CALCULATOR.
WE WENT SO FAR, SO FAST.
IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST
ENGINEERING PROJECTS
THE WORLD HAD EVER SEEN.
WHERE IN THE WORLD
DID YOU GET THESE?
- MY, UH, GRANDFATHER.
HE WORKED ON THE PROJECT.
HE WORKED FOR
CORNING WITH THE TILES
AND THE HEAT SHIELDS
FOR THE MODULES.
- SO YOUR GRANDFATHER ACTUALLY
WORKED ON THE SPACE PROGRAM?
- YES, SIR.
- THAT IS NEAT.
AND DO YOU KNOW
WHY HE HAD THESE, OR...
- I THINK HE WAS GIVEN
THIS FILE AS A GIFT,
UH, WHEN HE RETIRED.
- OKAY, UM,
I'M ASSUMING THIS IS
LIKE A DESIGN LAYOUT.
OBVIOUSLY, ENGINEERS
WERE WORKING WITH THIS,
BECAUSE THIS IS JUST,
LIKE, X-ED OUT WITH A PENCIL.
- AND IT'S PRETTY
INTERESTING RIGHT HERE.
THEY'RE SAYING, LIKE,
YOU KNOW, "GET RID OF THIS.
WE HAVE A NEW PANEL."
THESE ARE X-ED OUT,
AND THIS IS NICE THAT
THIS IS DATED 1967.
SO THIS WAS DURING
THE DESIGN PHASE.
AND THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE
LUNAR MODULE RIGHT HERE.
THE INTERIOR OF IT.
- YES.
- THAT'S PRETTY COOL,
BECAUSE THIS WHOLE
THING LINES UP WITH THAT.
YEAH, SO WE HAVE PICTURES RIGHT
HERE OF THIS PANEL RIGHT HERE,
WHICH IS SUPER COOL.
SO HOW MUCH YOU WANT?
- I'M LOOKING TO GET $100,000.
- WHOO.
♪ ♪
HOW DID YOU COME
UP WITH THAT NUMBER?
- I DID SOME RESEARCH.
I LOOKED AT A LOT OF
ITEMS THAT WERE BEING SOLD
FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY
THROUGH AN AUCTION
HOUSE IN NEW YORK,
AND A LOT OF THE THINGS
THAT THEY WERE SELLING
WERE COMPARABLE TO
THE PRICE THAT I'M ASKING.

- I MEAN, THESE ARE REALLY
HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT,
BUT $100,000 IS KINDA
OUT OF THIS WORLD.
OKAY?

THOSE NUMBERS...
THAT'S STUFF WENT INTO SPACE.
♪ ♪
I'D GIVE YOU, LIKE,
THREE GRAND FOR IT.

- HOW ABOUT FIVE?
- I'LL GO, LIKE,
$3,200. THAT'S IT.
- SOLD.

- HOW YOU DOING?
- HEY, PRETTY GOOD.
- WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
- WELL, I'VE GOT THIS
1950 MARTIN TIPLE.
- OKAY. PRETTY COOL.
I THINK IT'S
PRONOUNCED "TEE-PLAY."
BUT IT DOES SAY
"TIPLE." I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S A SPANISH INSTRUMENT, SO...
I DON'T REALLY KNOW
HOW TO "TIPLE" IT, DO YOU?
- I'VE GOT A 1950 MARTIN TIPLE.
LOOKS A LITTLE
BIT LIKE A UKULELE.
IT'S GOT TEN STRINGS.
IT'S IN REALLY GOOD
SHAPE, AND IT SOUNDS GOOD.
SEEMS LIKE IT'S IN
PLAYABLE CONDITION TO ME.
I'M HOPING TO GET
$2,500 FOR IT TODAY.
- PRETTY COOL INSTRUMENT.
YEAH, I THINK THEY'RE JUST
SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN A UKULELE.
THIS IS A REALLY
RARE INSTRUMENT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING
YOU SEE A LOT.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS FROM?
- YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN
IN MY FAMILY FOR YEARS,
UH, AND MY MOM GAVE IT TO
ME A FEW YEARS AGO, AND UH,
I DON'T REALLY PLAY IT.
IT'S JUST KINDA BEEN
SITTING IN MY CLOSET.
- WELL, MOM MUST REALLY LIKE
YOU IF SHE GAVE YOU A MARTIN.
♪ ♪
MARTIN IS SUPERIOR WHEN IT
COMES TO STRING PRODUCTS,
ESPECIALLY GUITARS
AND BASSES AND TIPLES.
AT FIRST GLANCE IT DOESN'T
LOOK IN HORRIBLE CONDITION.
IT'S GOT SOME NORMAL SCRATCHES
AND WEARS AND TEARS ON IT.
IT'S BEEN DINGED UP
PRETTY BAD RIGHT HERE,
BUT THAT SHOULDN'T
EFFECT THE SOUND QUALITY.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S
IN GOOD CONDITION.
WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKING TO DO WITH IT?
- YOU KNOW, I'M
LOOKING TO SELL IT.
- AND HOW MUCH ARE
YOU LOOKING TO GET?
- WELL, I THINK IT'S
WORTH, REALISTICALLY,
MAYBE AROUND $2,500.
- YOU KNOW, I REALLY
DON'T KNOW THE VALUE ON IT.
I DO KNOW THESE
THINGS ARE VERY RARE.
THEY'RE VERY HARD TO
SELL, BUT IT'S A MARTIN.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE
COME DOWN, TAKE A LOOK AT IT,
JUST KINDA GIVE ME A
BETTER IDEA ABOUT IT
AND WHAT IT MIGHT BE WORTH.
GIVE ME A FEW MINUTES, I'M
GONNA MAKE A PHONE CALL,
SEE IF I CAN GET
SOMEONE DOWN HERE.
- SOUNDS GOOD. THANKS.
♪ ♪
- SO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
- WE HAVE SOME PISTOLS.
THERE'S ABOUT 13 OF THEM.
- INTERESTING. SO
WHERE'D YOU GET THESE?
- THESE WERE MY
GRANDFATHER'S GRANDFATHER'S.
AND THEY'VE BEEN PASSED DOWN
TO ME, UH, ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO.
SO DID HE ROB BANKS, OR...
- I'M HERE AT THE
PAWN SHOP TODAY
TO SELL MY PISTOL COLLECTION.
I DO BELIEVE MOST OF THE PISTOLS
ARE FROM THE 1860S, 1870S,
SO I'VE KEPT THEM IN THE CASE.
THEY'VE TRAVELED WITH ME FROM
STATE TO STATE AS I'VE MOVED.
THEY'RE IN REALLY
GOOD CONDITION.
I FIGURED THAT NOBODY ELSE
IN THE FAMILY WANTED THEM,
THAT I WOULD GO AHEAD AND
SEE WHAT I COULD GET FOR THEM.
I'M HOPING TO SELL THE
ENTIRE COLLECTION FOR $6,500.
- DEFINITELY GOT
SOME COOL STUFF.
THEY ALL LOOK LIKE
THEY'RE .32 RIMFIRES,
SO I GUESS HE
COLLECTED .32 RIMFIRES.
- THAT'S WHAT HE LIKED.
- WHAT'S .32 RIMFIRE MEAN?
- IT WAS A POPULAR
CALIBER BACK THEN.
AFTER THE CIVIL WAR,
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE
MAKING GUNS FOR THE WAR
WERE MAKING CIVILIAN
MODEL GUNS LIKE THIS.
.32 WAS NOT A SUPER
POWERFUL ROUND.
IT WILL KILL YOU, BUT LESS
EXPENSIVE GUNS COULD SHOOT IT.
IF YOU HAD MONEY, YOU'D GO
BUY YOURSELF A COLT ARMY,
OR YOU'D BUY
YOURSELF A REMINGTON.
IF YOU DIDN'T, YOU
WOULD BUY ONE OF THESE.
THIS WAS ACTUALLY
A DECENT LITTLE GUN.
REAL CONVENIENT
TO SLIDE INSIDE A BOOT
AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
THIS WAS AN INEXPENSIVE
WAY TO DEFEND YOURSELF,
ESPECIALLY OUT IN THE WILD WEST.
YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF EVERYTHING HERE.
UM, YOU KNOW, CAN
I MAKE A PHONE CALL
AND SEE IF I CAN GET
A BUDDY DOWN HERE
TO LOOK AT THIS STUFF?
- YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.
- YOU WANNA GO GIVE ALEX A CALL?
- YEAH.

WANT FOR THESE THINGS?

PROBABLY ABOUT $500 EACH.
- SO THAT'D BE $6,500.
- YES, SIR.
- OKAY, UM, THAT'S
A STARTING POINT.
I MEAN, YOU GOT
SOME NEAT STUFF HERE.
- OKAY.

OKAY, UM...

CHANCE ON LOSING THEM.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
'CAUSE I'M SORT OF BUYING
A PIG IN A POKE HERE,
I'LL GIVE YOU $3,500
FOR ALL OF THEM.

LOWER THAN I WAS THINKING.
COULD YOU DO, LIKE, $5,500?

- HEY, WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?
- THIS IS AN 1892
DRYPOINT ETCHING
BY PIERRE-AUGUSTE RENOIR.
- ALL RIGHT. RENOIR,
THE GUY WHO BASICALLY
STARTED IMPRESSIONIST PAINTING.
HOW I EXPLAINED THAT TO MY
KIDS WAS IMPRESSIONISM: BLURRY,
REALLY BLURRY,
AND ABSTRACT WAS
LIKE, "WHAT THE..."
- I'M HERE AT THE
PAWN SHOP TODAY
TO SELL MY 1892
PIERRE-AUGUSTE RENOIR ETCHING.
THIS PIECE WAS A
DRYPOINT ETCHING
DONE BY RENOIR A
LITTLE LATER IN HIS LIFE,
BUT IT CAPTURES WONDERFUL
EMOTION INSIDE OF IT,
AND I JUST LOVE THE
LITTLE CHARACTERS
SITTING BY THE LAKE, WHO
ARE HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
I'M HOPING TO SELL THE
PIECE FOR $2,000 TODAY.
- THIS IS INTERESTING.
RENOIR WAS PAINTING
IN FRANCE IN THE 1860S,
AND THE AMAZING
THING WITH RENOIR IS,
WITH HIS IMPRESSIONISM,
HE CAPTURED MOVEMENT.
YOU SORT OF GET THE SENSE
THAT PEOPLE ARE MOVING AROUND
AS OPPOSED TO EARLIER PAINTINGS
WHERE EVERYONE WAS
IN A POSED POSITION.
AND AT FIRST, ALL THE
ART CRITICS HATED IT,
BUT WHEN THE PUBLIC STARTED
PEELING OUT SERIOUS MONEY
FOR ANYTHING BY RENOIR,
THE ART CRITICS SUDDENLY
REALIZED, "OH, I GUESS I WAS..."
YOU KNOW, THEY WOULDN'T
ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG,
THEY JUST STARTED
GIVING HIM GREAT REVIEWS.
AND BY THE 1890S,
HE WAS THE MOST SOUGHT
AFTER ARTIST IN THE WORLD.
- MM-HMM.
- I KNOW A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THIS RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN TELL THE WAY
IT'S PUSHED INTO THE PAPER
THAT IT'S A REAL ETCHING.
I'VE SEEN THIS IMAGE BEFORE.
- MM-HMM.
- IT STARTED OFF
AS A LARGE IMAGE.
- YES.
- THAT WAS COLORIZED...
- MM-HMM, YES.
- AND GOES FOR HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS NOW.
AND THEN HE MADE
THIS MUCH SMALLER ONE
FOR THE MASSES.
- MM-HMM, YES.
- SO HAVE YOU HAD ANYBODY
LOOK AT IT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
- NO, I'VE NOT HAVE
ANYBODY TAKE A LOOK AT IT
OR APPRAISE IT.
- OKAY.
UM, BIG QUESTION. HOW
MUCH YOU WANT FOR IT?
- $2,000 FOR IT.
- OKAY, UM. ONE
PROBLEM I DO SEE HERE,
THIS PAPER WAS ORIGINALLY WHITE.
- AH.
- OKAY?
THESE THINGS WERE
PRINTED ON EXPENSIVE PAPER
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO
LAST FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
- YES.
- SOME FRAMERS ARE CHEAP.
OR PEOPLE JUST DON'T
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
- MMM.
- AND THEY WOULD PUT
NON-ACID-FREE PAPER
BEHIND THE PRINTS,
AND THAT WILL LEACH THROUGH,
WHICH TURNS IT YELLOW.
- UH-HUH.
- LET ME CALL IN MY ART GUY.

HAVE HIM LOOK AT IT, OKAY?

I THOUGHT ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST,

ACOUSTIC GUITAR COMPANIES
ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
BEEN AROUND SINCE PRE-CIVIL WAR.
WELL, YEAH, THESE ARE GREAT.
THEY WERE USED IN A LOT OF
JAZZ AND FOLK BANDS AT THE TIME.
THEY WERE MUCH
LOUDER THAN A UKULELE
HAVING ALL THE OCTAVE STRINGS,
SO THEY COULD REALLY CUT
THROUGH AND GET OVER THE SOUND
OF ALL THE OTHER
INSTRUMENTATION WHICH,
OBVIOUSLY, A LITTLE
UKULELE WITH PLASTIC STRINGS
COULDN'T DO, SO IT'S
A GREAT INSTRUMENT.
