Evaluating Rare Collectibles from Underwater Guns to Cold War Keys

See how the Harrison family navigates the complex valuation of items ranging from potentially illegal underwater weaponry to authentic pop-culture relics and military history artifacts.

Short Summary

  • Secure a top-dollar offer for a uniquely authenticated fragment of DB Cooper’s ransom money.
  • Determine the substantial hidden costs required to make a high-performance dragster race-legal again.
  • Confront the legal complexities surrounding underwater spearguns classified as potential firearms.

This segment showcases five vastly different items brought to the shop: a rare four-barrel speargun, keys rumored to launch ICBMs, Joe Exotic's documented wardrobe, a fragment of DB Cooper’s dropped cash, a custom dragster, and luxury designer chairs. The segment tests the shop’s ability to source specialized expertise for items whose value relies heavily on their provenance and legal standing.

Guy with spear gun got ripped off big time. Not his fault the guy wanted to do it "legally". I would have walked and sold it in a Florida or a coastal marketplace add.

I gotta say the DB Cooper piece is classic Rick. There's no room for a markup, but it's so cool. When is another one coming in? Never, right?

Every time Rick complains that an item would be hard to sell, I'm reminded how popular this show was and that he got paid to advertise the stuff. And that advertising had reruns. Im sure he sold every single "hard to sell" item very quickly.
