Are you Serious it’s all staged and scripted to some extent. The typical nobody who goes into the pawn shop... even for a potentially smaller business transaction, will almost never see any of the stars of the show at the shop (unless show filming is being done). If someone does have a rare/historical/potentially big ticket item that would be good for the show, network/show producers arrange a meeting between the potential client and Rick or whoever from the show. The star from the show then researches the item and figures out if he will set up a meeting with an “expert” to provide more info. When the client meeting occurs, everything is hashed out (including an agreed upon outcome... whether it’s no-deal or what the price will be) off camera before show filming begins. The on camera interaction between the star from the show and the potential client... and sometimes an “expert” is mostly just an improved act for show. Everyone who appears on the show obviously has to sign a waiver. Rick has the money to pay out a mil for anything he wants. People who have all the money get to be patient enough to wait until the deal is right for them, if you get my drift (the person is desperate enough to get on their knees and basically give it away at around 25% of its actual market value) 😉
Jared Carrick I know it’s scripted lol but I’m waiting for Rick to have a script and say “get out” when a customer says a ridiculous amount of money for what they brought in
Fun fact, both the guy who brought the game in and the expert they brought in both work for heritage auctions and have been creating an artificial bubble for retro video games for years. Also heritage auctions is owned by the same company that owns wata games, the grading company. So yeah. What they're doing is extremely illegal.
@@daniellarsonfanwork2024 there's a great video on x play about it, basically the people who sold it also bought it at the same auction it's dumb, it's all fake value , a scam.
so for those watching this who are unaware theirs some very strong evidence that watta and heritage auctions have been colluding to manipulate the market on sealed video games. for example it turns out the guy who came to the pawn store to sell this video game actually has a business relationship and is friends with the watta guy who came in to give the estimate on the game. a fact that was not disclosed to the pawn star team or anyone else.
Yeah. He asked for a number he knew was outlandish (the most expensive sale of of a rare game prior to this being sold for 100k was a copy of Stadium Events that went for just over 41k) on purpose just to get attention while ensuring Rick wouldn't even try to call his bluff and make a deal.
"there is no ceiling." Says the man profiting from (and allegedly involved in) the recent and rapid 6500% price inflation of collectible games just at the start of that inflation. At the point that this video was posted, $100k was the most expensive game sale ever made. Edit: I see there are others watching this after the video by Karl Jobst. Good on ya, you absolute legends, taking the time to follow-up on sources.

This is like literally the holy grail of video game and mario history, its basically priceless. In 5-10 years this will probably sell a million or more
what about a hundred years? I mean, video games are the newest big art form. How much would a sealed, mint condition first theatre play, music composition, book or film go for? The more time passes, the higher this thing will go, dramatically.
Its literally an unsealed version of the test release of the game that started a multi billion dollar industry. The older this cartridge gets i could see it going for well over 1 mil
There simply aren't enough people with 1 million dollars to throw around for it to realistically sell at that price. There is only one of them in existence, so it may legit be valued at that price, but nobody except Jeff Bezos is able to buy it. Maybe a history museum of popular culture, or something.
He also offered good money for a "Wanted" poster of a famous killer, but that's because he wanted to buy it for himself. The poster though belonged to a museum and the guy wouldn't sell it. (He brought it in to compare go a fake poster a customer has brought in to try and sell)

Owner: “I have a sticker sealed original Mario for NES” Rick: “Chum can you come help me with this” Chumlee: “wow yea this is the sticker sealed version, I don’t know much about this”
I didn't think of this; the idea that he never intended to sell the mario game and that it's really just a flex. explains the insane high price that doesn't move.
It's a piece of something else than History. A piece of History is the chair Lincoln seated at Ford's Theatre, LIberty Bell, or the car Kennedy was when he was assassinated in Dallas.
A loose cart for Mario is like $10 and complete in box is probably about $30-$50 off the top of my head so he probably has another copy. Also the original super Mario brothers is playable on most modern Nintendo consoles via virtual console and Nintendo switch online
This is one of those deals that's doesn't actually close, where the seller gets to advertise his rare item and Rick gets to look like a businessman who deals in super rare and expensive things.
Everett01 It’s much more nefarious than that. The grading company and an auction house bought the game for $100k, just to create hype and a market for their “graded video games” trash. Now the “experts” that own the game are “estimating” that their own game is worth 3x what they paid for it.
Mike Doyle If Pollock can smear paint on a canvas and have it sold for millions, I don’t see how one of the rarest video games of all time couldn’t. Not to mention it’s Mario-one of the biggest pop-culture icons of the past 40 years.

ZonedOutFN they didn’t. This is all horseshit. Game never sold for 100K. These first print sticker sealed Mario Bros aren’t super rare. The market has been cornered by certain individuals to make it seem like they are super rare when there are a good. It out there. The person who owns heritage auctions was also the person who won it in the auction. 1 bid for $100k. Pretty convenient. SMH. So much false information circulating nowadays I feel bad for the investors coming in dropping money on these games that are nowhere near rare. I’ve been collecting since 2008.

Actually no, this guy sold this for $2 million in an online auction shortly after this aired. He knew exactly what he was doing bringing this on this show and that's why he's a multi millionaire and enjoying his elder years in nice easy retirement.
@@MOG0311 you need to check out karl jobst's video on this. It went for 2 million, to a "group" of people that included the ones grading it and auctioning it off. That makes his appearance where he claims the value is far higher than it truly is, FRAUD, since he was personally profiting from making those claims.
sounded like a reasonable price for such an item, the expert said theres no ceiling and the market is still young as games are only now being viewed as historical and art pieces, so in 15/20 years the price should be a lot more. and the fact rick didnt try and barter with him for a lower price really shows this item was out of his league
@@yugiohpokemon5285 Yeah there is, even if you had the most rarest rare of all rares in the world of collecting it can be basically valueless if it prices ridiculously high. No one's gonna pay something like that for it. The guy should take the first 300k+ he gets. Who knows how many of these are still available, untouched, sitting in some old warehouse's darkest corner.
@Samuel Layton Eh. Only if your life revolves around video games. There have been much more interesting items on the show than a old video game in good condition. E.g. The two thousand year old mummy mask and 600+ year old samurai sword(s).
The video that just came out highlighting the collusion between the seller and the buyer has been very eye-opening I do not trust wata nor any sealed graded video game price at this time
I still have all my PS2 games and old consoles like the game cube, Gameboy, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, and some old very old consoles like from 1970s and a old pac man arcade machine. There in great condition now I just need a expert to tell me the price on them. Probably have 700$ at least worth of consoles and games.

He ain't getting that delusional 1 million dollars he was way to emotionally attached the the game to
There simply aren't enough people with 1 million dollars to throw around for it to realistically sell at that price.
There is only one of them in existence, so it may legit be valued at that price, but nobody except Jeff Bezos is able to buy it. Maybe a history museum of popular culture, or something.

Yo Mike!
The only item I’ve ever seen rick offer a million dollars for was George Washington’s military uniform.
He also offered good money for a "Wanted" poster of a famous killer, but that's because he wanted to buy it for himself. The poster though belonged to a museum and the guy wouldn't sell it. (He brought it in to compare go a fake poster a customer has brought in to try and sell)

Dude wanted to flex his game so much he went to pawn stars.
Melvin Marroquin yehaha
I respect it
Pretty much sums up my thoughts
He probably flew in from somewhere just to get some screen time.
I didn't think of this; the idea that he never intended to sell the mario game and that it's really just a flex. explains the insane high price that doesn't move.
3:50 LOL I thought he stole the game for a second
I actually laughed out loud. The way he snags his copy and turns away quickly makes it even funnier if that really was the case
🤣
😂
It's a piece of something else than History. A piece of History is the chair Lincoln seated at Ford's Theatre, LIberty Bell, or the car Kennedy was when he was assassinated in Dallas.
As a kid, knowing this game would be worth 1 million dollars in 30 years, I probably STILL would have opened it.
U wouldnt.have that version
kool Mo cee lmao

This isnt the retail version, its a special demo version.
@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. It is essentially the holy grail of videogame memorabilia... It very well could be
Imagine buying a game and never playing it
That is only one worse than those we only played once.
I would hope he bought 2. how could u never open it n not play it. theres no way
A loose cart for Mario is like $10 and complete in box is probably about $30-$50 off the top of my head so he probably has another copy. Also the original super Mario brothers is playable on most modern Nintendo consoles via virtual console and Nintendo switch online
Correction complete in box is worth about $20 for a shrink wrap copy
For a million dollars
Rick : A Million Dollars? I can only give you 20 Bucks and I’m taking ALL the risk.

Returned here a year later after the Karl Jobst exposé on WATA heritage auctions scam.
This is one of those deals that's doesn't actually close, where the seller gets to advertise his rare item and Rick gets to look like a businessman who deals in super rare and expensive things.
Everett01 It’s much more nefarious than that. The grading company and an auction house bought the game for $100k, just to create hype and a market for their “graded video games” trash. Now the “experts” that own the game are “estimating” that their own game is worth 3x what they paid for it.
That's funny if true.

This is the one time I’m actually wondering how he got ahold of the item
Replica printed and packaged box from China 1 month ago.
ZonedOutFN they didn’t. This is all horseshit. Game never sold for 100K. These first print sticker sealed Mario Bros aren’t super rare. The market has been cornered by certain individuals to make it seem like they are super rare when there are a good. It out there. The person who owns heritage auctions was also the person who won it in the auction. 1 bid for $100k. Pretty convenient. SMH. So much false information circulating nowadays I feel bad for the investors coming in dropping money on these games that are nowhere near rare. I’ve been collecting since 2008. These people got into the hobby maybe 3-5 yrs ago. Lol.
@@ScubaDiverPicker I also was calling bull on this. Probably all staged for tv. You only need to look on Google for the most expensive games sold in auction and you see 10k or most 40k and these are rare.
The most expensive games you could ever sell for 1 millions is if you own 1 million copies of gta v and you sell job lot for 1 dollar each
This exact copy was sold at auction for 100k back in February first 6 figure game ever mightve been this guy who bought it
