How is that even a joke lol poor effort! You do realize this old man would of been spoken to and offered an amount two weeks before they hit the second pawn stars shop that is used just for filming!
Rick: Worth 25k? Here's some pocket lint, a bottle cap, my receipt from Chipotle, a couple packets of ketchup and 37 cents. I can't go any higher than that.
Hunter was a known user of Psychadelics. For all they know, the 85% could've been sober writing. The appraiser doesn't seem to understand much about Thompson, because if he did he wouldve realized that the precise writing was likely Thompson not tripping balls.
We have examples of Hunter's handwriting, presumably when sober and when not. The guy saw those examples and decided the neat writing wasn't consistent with Thompson.
Me: I stepped in some chewing gum and pried it off my shoe. Do you have a trash bin? Rick: It might be a Chiclet, but it could also be some Bazooka or Juicy Fruit. I need to call someone to have a look at it.
I wouldn't say it's the hardest ever, but it's similar to other "one of a kind" items. The value is ultimately whatever someone is willing to pay for it, since it's unlikely Hunter Thompson's notebooks have been auctioned off before.
They were trying to rip off that old man. And Rick walked away with a smile on his face, and told his son, "You do the dirty work for a change" . That is really pitiful.
Hunter s Thompson was the greatest journalist ever in our generation and there'll never be anyone like He inspired me when I saw fear and loathing in Las Vegas and inspired me more when I read the book and his other works he's the greatest journalist and author ever
From what I saw of some of the drawings... most are by Ralph Steadman... a famous illustrator who use to go on the drug filled adventures with Hunter... so some of writing might actually be his... he's still alive but maybe for not much longer... if I were the old guy I would contact Steadman about the history... BTW his illustrations alone raise the value... Steadman does not sell his illustrations or paintings... almost none exist on the market...
I'm glad the older fella kept a hold of all that diary stuff because it's probably worth way more than what they were trying to offer him..........JJ..
It happens often, people only think he only did literary work, like the stuff he wrote under the Raul Duke character. Fear and loathing on the campaign trail, articles like "Strange Rumblings in Aztlan" and " A Southern City with Nothern Problems" to just name a few, where great, intelligent pieces of journalism.
One particular thing is very doubtful that everytime Rick brings an expert the value of the product goes down. It's very rare the value of the product rises compared to the expectations of the seller.
Other people’s writing would not negatively effect the value. Especially if it’s dictation. Original manuscripts and notebooks sell on the name and then the condition.
Hunter S. Thompson's crazy routine: 3:00 p.m. rise 3:05 Chivas Regal with the morning papers, Dunhills 3:45 cocaine 3:50 another glass of Chivas, Dunhill 4:05 first cup of coffee, Dunhill 4:15 cocaine 4:16 orange juice, Dunhill 4:30 cocaine 4:54 cocaine 5:05 cocaine 5:11 coffee, Dunhills 5:30 more ice in the Chivas 5:45 cocaine, etc., etc. 6:00 grass to take the edge off the day 7:05 Woody Creek Tavern for lunch-Heineken, two margaritas, coleslaw, a taco salad, a double order of fried onion rings, carrot cake, ice cream, a bean fritter, Dunhills, another Heineken, cocaine, and for the ride home, a snow cone (a glass of shredded ice over which is poured three or four jiggers of Chivas) 9:00 starts snorting cocaine seriously 10:00 drops acid 11:00 Chartreuse, cocaine, grass 11:30 cocaine, etc, etc. 12:00 midnight, Hunter S. Thompson is ready to write 12:05-6:00 a.m. Chartreuse, cocaine, grass, Chivas, coffee, Heineken, clove cigarettes, grapefruit, Dunhills, orange juice, gin, continuous pornographic movies. 6:00 the hot tub-champagne, Dove Bars, fettuccine Alfredo 8:00 Halcyon 8:20 sleep
Wow that can everyone find on google no need to post it.... There isnt even prove that this was really his daily routine. Hunter liked to pretend he was doing more drugs then he actually did. It is true he lived by the metric system
I wish this YT channel stopped uploading Steve Grad videos. The show already dismissed him, it always makes me mad to see him appear since he is a fraud.
Too neat to be his writing? So you can't have a couple different writing modes. A. I'm scribbling down notes. B. I'm writing paragraphs and coherent thoughts.
I have about 10 completely different writing styles myself. Many artists or creative's have several writing styles. If somebody went thru a lyric notebook of mine they would assume several people contributed when in reality it was just myself.
@@remylebeau2357 Hunter used to send us faxes of his notes for "Fear and Loathing in LV". We had the movie rights. Everyone of them were all over the paper w/drawings and writings in margins. No way he would write or think like that small neat hand writing. Dame wish I had those notes!
rick gets a book in store - let me get some one to take a look at this
me - i cant wait for Rebecca ...
Steve walks in
me - wtf is this guy doing here
Have, you ever noticed that Rebecca always leans against the counter
He is handwriting expert that's why they called him i guess
he is a jerk couldn't appraise toilet paper
Pritam Jain he’s a proven fraud
Walkertongdee im not sure if its 2ply🤔😂
Hunter would be smiling, knowing a piece of him was being bartered at a Vegas pawn shop.
I’m sure someone like Johnny Depp would buy this in a heartbeat.
Johnny Depp is broke now !
Walter Glowacki know your facts. Dude still has 200,000,000$.
Walter Glowacki I wish I was as broke as Johnny Depp... lol he’s still rich bud
He filed for bankruptcy and is sleeping at a friends couch

Soon as steve walked in, i knew that old men wasnt getting anything close to that 100k
As soon as I saw him, I didn’t finish the video. I don’t like that guy.
@@adventurek2066 He's a joke. He has a legion of fans that are on his nuts just cuz he works for PSA but he's been indicted already.
Even rick left hes like screw you guys
lmao Corey always gets angry when he can't make a deal.
He looked tired! Probably been a long day!
The value of something always has been and will always be what someone is willing to pay for it.
* Correction, it's what a person can actually get paid for it.
And what someone is willing to sell for
And there's a sucker born every minute .....
He also took out a chair out of that satchel

BenR never thought of that!! You might be right!!
Leo Prado this whole show is scripted anyways
Leo Prado why do u keep screaming
Wait the show is still going? I thought these were just clips of old episodes and the show finished years ago
Looked like some original Ralph Steadman art in that book...
I thought some of the doodles were from Ralph too.
steve grad needs to stop being put onto the show
@K Weaver BBC???
@K Weaver your going to have to fix it now, you got me wondering
@K Weaver you've gone back and forth with this guy instead of just deleting 3 letters. That's not lazy, it's pride
You two have me more confused then Hunter S Thompson.

Don't forget about the used condom

That Steve grad guy is a known crook
What did he do?

@Rex Limiron lol

This guy made the old man look like a spring chicken
Hunter S Thompson is my biggest inspiration
I love hunter! This is amazing, just amazing!
This item has no obvious market value, so to guesstimate one is silly. Maybe the hardest item to evaluate ever on this show.
I wouldn't say it's the hardest ever, but it's similar to other "one of a kind" items. The value is ultimately whatever someone is willing to pay for it, since it's unlikely Hunter Thompson's notebooks have been auctioned off before.
When it's hard to evaluate an item, they low ball and screw people over even more than usual.
I'll buy it for 5 bucks... and I'm taking a huge risk here
Its priceless duh
Just DM johnny depp easy
Every time I watch the video size of Corey changes
The guy was a former lawyer and they still try to fool him. Haha
Agree. I also want to see Rebecca talking about books and possible value
I would love that book
They were trying to rip off that old man. And Rick walked away with a smile on his face, and told his son, "You do the dirty work for a change" . That is really pitiful.
Nah, Rick also got burned by the guy. At this point, he still trusted the crook.
“I’m using this to write in too”
🤣😅😂 wtf
This show should be called “PAWN BUDDY”
Some of the artwork could have been Ralph Steadman's work.
Where the Buffalo Roam and Gonzo are also excellent movies
Steve helps them throw the lowball once again!
It seems people bring their rare items here just to get them appraised. Makes for good TV, I guess.
Been waiting for a long time for a video
Good for him... He got publicity for something worth what a serious buyer like myself would fight over. That right there is a goldmine.
For an instant I thought the Old Man returned from his deathbed and posed as a customer.
Lit M this comment is a win
You cant price this item. It has to go to auction . Leave it up to Hunters fans to bid it out.
Hunter s Thompson was the greatest journalist ever in our generation and there'll never be anyone like
He inspired me when I saw fear and loathing in Las Vegas and inspired me more when I read the book and his other works he's the greatest journalist and author ever
Every item goes down in value 20% after Grad touches it with those filthy paws.
Anytime Steve Grad is called up you know a low ball offer is coming.. smh
He's a fraud.
I really enjoy your videos and hope to go to the gold and silver pawn shop
Much respect they got him a chair
Disappointed. When I see a title with the word book, i expect to see Rebecca
Daniel Lloyd It's a Notebook not a Book, there's a difference
I agree
That's a cool notebooks I love the way they put things together
I like how I was watching another pawn stars video and this popped in the recommended I never clicked on anything so fast like what I just did rn 😆
Hunter would've gotten his revolver out and blasted around with it if he knew someone would sell his stuff
Why would you not bring in Rebecca??
I know right!!
Because Steve can give an even bigger lowball offer
From what I saw of some of the drawings... most are by Ralph Steadman... a famous illustrator who use to go on the drug filled adventures with Hunter... so some of writing might actually be his... he's still alive but maybe for not much longer... if I were the old guy I would contact Steadman about the history...

The edit from 1:12 to 1:14 is killing me.
lol he wasnt crazy. He was just a sane man living in an insane world

Lunacy and being bright aren't necessarily opposite. Usually they are together. 🌞 🌕1:58
This man looked like he partied with hunter and survived.
If I had a 100 grand id buy this in a heartbeat
One day at a time 🌙
Steve grad? Would have been better to have Rebecca take a look at it
Rick: what you have
Seller: not many days left
not cool....
Other people’s writing would not negatively effect the value. Especially if it’s dictation. Original manuscripts and notebooks sell on the name and then the condition.
Are those steadman notes and drawings? Because if so that could only increase the value. How was his name not even mentioned?
I’m surprised he even offer $20k, usually they offer 1/2 of what the expert values the item at.

Cool old dude
I suspect many of the prospective sellers come here just to get a free expert's evaluation of their items. Not necessarily to sell them.
Please, where's Rebecca?

Lol. Gotta watch the movie 3 or 4 times.
the seller looks like a video game character
As your attorney i advise you..
Like it matters that he didnt write in it that much he still wrote in it. Glad the old dude said no
I bet if he would have taken the deal, they would have turned around and sold it for $100,000 at the store.
This guy looks like the actually crypt keeper. He’s probably old enough to be there
