I used to be the General Manager at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop (Pawnstars) and people are scammed daily. I used to refuse reproductions all the time. Just because it has a Certificate of Authenticity doesn’t mean it’s real. Also people gets confused with Originals and lithographs. The difference between an original Picasso and a Picasso lithograph is about $80,000.

it wasnt worth anything; they didnt make the auction. its just crap so collectors wouldnt buy it. it'd be easier to sell it to people who wanted a cool painting or knifes rather than colelctors. i guess an example would be like the AVGN game collection. he has tons of games. from NES and whatnot. organized, labelled and its nearly complete. this guy instead has like pikachu plushies, a rick and morty shirt and a zelda ocarina. so just trash that collectors wouldnt buy. also, in bad condition.

No, the dating was correct. What she said, after he said it was dated, is that the paiting was made in whatever century he said, but it was not of that era, as in it was a copy made long long ago of an even older painting. Like it's a fake, but it's a very old fake, if that makes more sense. At least I think that's what happened.
The painting in question is called, "Triumph of Manius Curius Dentatus" painted by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in a commission from 1726 for a number of Roman History paintings. The original is housed in The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, along with 4 others from the series. The original is 18' x 10.5' and does appear to have some of its color muted by its varnish, though the reds and whites still appear to be intense. All 10 paintings in the series were reunited in 1997 for an exhibition in New York. There are several copies of this floating around - painted in the style of Tiepolo. One that was in good condition was sold in 2005 for about $1600. I imagine this owner thought he was sitting on a piece that was worth at least $7K.
@@zoulzopan, It's been in a collection since the 1920s...but I imagine it's insured at at least 1M, if not more. The only number I could find was a sale of part of the collection of 5 paintings in the 1870s which is about 1.5M in today's money.
This was filmed in 2012. It literally would have taken him 10 seconds to google where the original painting was housed before he bought it, but instead he decided to just believe that a famous 18th century painting was being sold to him? Good grief.

@@lebojay Sheffield is a place in England they made things out of solid silver. So silverware that's plated holds very little value. Like if you had a gold plated ring ect.

His employees being basically on the verge of a collective nervous breakdown got zero sympathy from this sociopath, but learning his precious antiques won't sell good was what finally woke him up to reality. Amazing. Just amazing.

because his whole tax evasion scam relies on him being able to turn his ill-gotten gains (from 'giving' his friends rooms 'for free', then getting them to leave a big 'tip' for the 'staff', that he then steals) into art, antiques, stuff, instead of putting it in bank accounts that the IRS can just seize. Once he realises he stole all that money only to hand it over to con artists selling fake antiques, he knows it's all been for nothing.

Its like when someone has a 24k gold plated ring. The gold is at its highest purity, but its just a plating so theres not that much so it would be about $100 vs the same looking ring made entirely of 24k gold, it could go for about $64,000. (Just an example, not accurate numbers). This is why if I get married, id ask my wife about getting titanium rings. They aint as pretty. But they are cheaper and will last longer, and are less likely to be stolen.
GreyBlackWolf you can get a beautiful 14k gold wedding ring for your wife for under $1,000. I don’t know a single girl that wants a titanium ring for their engagement
So he is correct that they are indeed free to work elsewhere. Got it. They've chosen to stay and work, and have accepted his terms and agreements, rather than halting work and pursuing legal action...which they are also free to do.
This was SO satisfying. The guy didn't give a shit about his poor staff, only himself. His bonfire got pissed on when he found out the real amount of his treasures. Do feel bad for the staff though, all that work and little pay for it.
That "estimate" was optimistic at best. Actually selling all of it for that much, realistically, is not possible. Even if an auction house took it all, he'd get maybe half after fees, assuming all of it sold, which it wouldn't. Collectors don't want copies. He'd do better at a yard sale moving it but would make little. This guy was a sucker, probably too arrogant to question anything before buying.
Yeah very true, And while some looks nice a lot of it just looks junky and really outdated like yard sale material. I think the mindset of someone buying a item being something along the lines of like, Oh this looks nice I guess I'll get it and not like, I HAVE to have this! And that type of thinking is something that effects how much they're willing to pay for it like someone may like X but are perfectly fine not getting it because the price is some ridiculous amount for some random object.
probably took pride in knowing he has millions of dollars and bought majority of this crap from some seller whos a scammer probably did little to no research in Antique dealing or buying and assumed yeah that looks good ill take it and probably got con'd by the seller cos all they need to do is talk crap to sell it like say this is BEATIFUL oil painting from this date very famous like all he needs is some dumb excuse or reason and people get suckered like this guy was i feel sorry for Ari because Robert stole / took all of Ari's savings to buy all this junk and basically wasted all his income
@@stefaniebraun3319 You are likely correct. The painting for instance can be sold on mass online. Just some research shows it's a common painting to copy.
He probably assumed it was worth £300'000 because that's how much he'd spent on the whole thing The fact he half-assedly said "17-something" is a dead giveaway that Robert knows bugger all

He's either an idiot who bought these things to show off and paid what he was told they were worth without knowing anything about what he was buying or he knew they were fakes and reproductions but again, bought them to show off to people who don't know the difference. Either way he's a fake who didn't buy these things because he's genuinely interested in art and antiques but rather to show off to guests.

i think she meant it was painted as set in the 18th century, but wasnt painted in that time period. like me painting a dinosaur and calling it a prehistoric painting.
@@CommanderChronicles Oh! That's what she meant. Lol my dumb ass thought that she was saying the original painting was dated 1700s but the copy wasn't. XD
It looks like the sort of drek you see at an auction house that specializes in selling reproduction artwork, vintage glitz furniture and estate leftovers. Not things collectors have but interesting conversation pieces.
This is accurate. After working for business owners I come to realize they greatly exaggerate the worth of the stuff they buy. Especially when you look it up online and see it's a fraction of the price.
On a serious note, I really think Gordon knew all his 'art' was worthless. And he just wanted to clown dude, so he set this whole thing up just to make guy look dumb.
The guy claimed to be a 'collector' but he had no certificates, purchase order or tracking data to back up his claims. So Gordon clearly had reasons to be suspicious, but it's always possible that some of that junk was actually worth something so bringing in an expert was definitely the right move.
na i think this was an actual attempt to try and earn him some money but then it blew up pretty fast maybe he wasnt expecting 300k but he definitely wasnt expecting 25k
darkespeon64 exactly what I think too. People want to gift Gordon god powers. Like on top of being a excellent Chef he’s also a master appraiser! Like cmon
That's what he tried doing twice to the cupcake business but the owners found out midshooting and now we have the legendary episodes where the owner gives Gordon a hard time and every time he tries getting loud and mad she would just up the ante and throw stuff at him like he would do on Hell's Kitchen, needless to say he did not sign up for it so he left only a half hour through the original episode and said he'll never return back even if they visit it again in a future episode of Kitchen Nightmares "sharltons trying to get free publicity off my Hell's Kitchen persona"
Well. The problem is that he probably paid 300000k thinking it was all real and found out there were reproductions and counterfeits so he lost like 275000k. Lol
Probably just as clueless. Generally people get burned at auctions or estate sales. Dealers with a storefront who sell fakes quickly get a reputation with the locals.
The nerve of this guy who says he doesn't believe what he terms as "her opinion" when it is in fact a professional assessment of $25,000 worth of rubbish that's either made of chintzy material, are bad copies, or have deteriorated to the point where nobody wants to buy it. In Amy's words, it's an accumulation, not a collection.
The owner was lucky enough to be offered $25000. If it was Rick who walks in, he will probably say: "Best I can do is $250, not a single cent more. I'm taking a huge risk here."
I once traded a lamborghini for a peice of hubba bubba found on the ground outside Nino's restaurant, needless to say I think I got the better end of the deal.
I mean… there’s really no way to be nice about something like this. If it were me in that position I’d be like “Yeah this bullshit is worthless and you’ve wasted my time. F YOU!” And then walk out
Brutal? More just blunt/direct. I’ve worked in antiques, and one of the worst parts of the job is being hassled by guys like this who think every piece of junk they have is a priceless treasure
As long as it is copper or stainless steel plated with silver, I'll be chuffed. Provided that I get a good price for it. Anyways, did this idiot research what Sheffield plate was before he bought the articles? Seems that he could not tell the difference between solid and plate silver.
One thing I've always liked about Gordon is his approach to situations, other people would be professional. "Hello, yes so we seem to be low on funds, and we're hoping selling these specific items could possibly bring it the money we need" instead we hear "we're in the shit basically" I love it
No, he's not. Can't you read facial expressions? At what point during this video, let alone the entire episode, did his demeanor say, "Oh, gee, this is fun!" This was seriously frustrating him. He actually walked out at one point and was ready to give up the entire enterprise!
Gordon is from the UK. Think about it. He’s seen a lot of antiquities. This guy is just a delusional asshole who thinks his garage sale finds are important because someone told him so. He also thought he was important enough to steal his staffs tips. He called his friends who stayed for free and they all said “I left you the money to tip them” and he thought it was all for him. He’s an asshole and he thinks highly of himself.
@New Keys You are a simple person who has no idea how auctions work. The auction house gets a percentage of the sale, therefore it is in their benefit for the items to sell for as much as is possible.
New Keys ....J A is right....Auctioneers want stuff to sell for as much as possible so they make the most profit. How do you think auctioneers make money?? Their salary is based off the percentage they get from every sale, therefore if the items sell for more, they get more money. You really think the auctioneers would fuck themselves over like that? That would make no sense.
"Boom (accumulation, not a collection), bam (about 25k), bop (that's plate), bada-bop boom pow (No, we wouldn't)." "OHHHHH (Closed in 2014 due to debts totalling 1.1 million clams)!"
Obviously he knew, there’s so much shit in there she had to do an actual walk through off camera to see if there was anything actually value before throwing out that 25k number. Meaning Gordon set homeboy up the entire time knowing this stuff wasn’t worth shit lol
To be honest, if you take a quick look you don't have to be an expert to see some of that stuff is crap. Its actually kind of tacky looking, not fancy.
Not _a_ plate. Plate. As in silver plate, a thin coating of silver covering a cheaper metal, rather than pure silver. Still very nice for what it is, and worth some money if good quality, but no meltdown value.
plated coffee pot, teapot, creampot and tray set in very good condition Aud$70 at charity shops like St Vincent de Paul. we just gave ours away to charity. worth diddly squat
Two of the best things about this 1) When she says that there are condition issues and its more like stuff instead of a collection you can see Robert thinking "Ok so not 300K but I bet 250K" 2) When she says its worth 25,000 Gordon's reaction is amazing because you know he to was thinking "Oh at least 100,000 to 200,000" and the fact that it wasn't just kills him.
Rick “This collection is going to take space in my shop, i gotta make money. It’s gonna sit for a long time. I gotta reframe it and spit shine it. The best I could do is 20 bucks, would you take 5?”
I've seen this episode before, but I'm only now noticing how nervous the owner appears when the appraiser shows up. Almost as if he knows what she's going to say about his "collection" before she even begins.
I think everyone would get pangs of doubt once an appraiser shows up, because they could just rock your shit no matter how sure you are, one can always be wrong
Moreso because you would know that she has already appraised everything off camera prior to this scene. The setup reeked gotcha before she even began talking.
I am not an art expert by any means... but when I looked at that room full of 'antiques,' my immediate first thought was "Wow, it looks like the contents of my nan's front room."
@13thHoneyBadger wrecked by west nile virus that is the thing with collectibles. they can skyrocket up or plummet due to various factors. the appraiser may also just be out of date on price or what region that item was sold in

$25k? he’s lucky, GameStop would given him $13.55 in store credit
LMAO
JAZ THE SAGA Pawn Stars would of given him $50
If he was lucky he could have got $5,60 inhand
it wasnt worth anything; they didnt make the auction. its just crap so collectors wouldnt buy it. it'd be easier to sell it to people who wanted a cool painting or knifes rather than colelctors.
i guess an example would be like the AVGN game collection. he has tons of games. from NES and whatnot. organized, labelled and its nearly complete.
this guy instead has like pikachu plushies, a rick and morty shirt and a zelda ocarina. so just trash that collectors wouldnt buy. also, in bad condition.

The painting in question is called, "Triumph of Manius Curius Dentatus" painted by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in a commission from 1726 for a number of Roman History paintings. The original is housed in The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, along with 4 others from the series. The original is 18' x 10.5' and does appear to have some of its color muted by its varnish, though the reds and whites still appear to be intense. All 10 paintings in the series were reunited in 1997 for an exhibition in New York.
There are several copies of this floating around - painted in the style of Tiepolo. One that was in good condition was sold in 2005 for about $1600. I imagine this owner thought he was sitting on a piece that was worth at least $7K.
so the copies at best i worth $1600 but how much is the real ones worth?

But Sheffield is plate, isn’t it?
I’m confused. Was he incorrect about it being Sheffield, or is that detail simply irrelevant to its value?
Educate me please. I hadn’t heard the word Sheffield used this way before, and a quick Google search only tells me that it is silver plate.
@@lebojay Sheffield is a place in England they made things out of solid silver. So silverware that's plated holds very little value. Like if you had a gold plated ring ect.

Yes this was just pissing on his grave after burying him. I love it.
His employees being basically on the verge of a collective nervous breakdown got zero sympathy from this sociopath, but learning his precious antiques won't sell good was what finally woke him up to reality. Amazing. Just amazing.
He figured that they would be easy to replace, it's not that different in any real service industry. Most retail and food service places barely pay anything and subject employees to severe stress and when people won't put up with it they whine and cry that no one wants to work

because his whole tax evasion scam relies on him being able to turn his ill-gotten gains (from 'giving' his friends rooms 'for free', then getting them to leave a big 'tip' for the 'staff', that he then steals) into art, antiques, stuff, instead of putting it in bank accounts that the IRS can just seize. Once he realises he stole all that money only to hand it over to con artists selling fake antiques, he knows it's all been for nothing.

Sunny holey it’s plated, as in the silver was plated and not full silver.
the plates are silver plated only on the outside
Its like when someone has a 24k gold plated ring. The gold is at its highest purity, but its just a plating so theres not that much so it would be about $100 vs the same looking ring made entirely of 24k gold, it could go for about $64,000. (Just an example, not accurate numbers). This is why if I get married, id ask my wife about getting titanium rings. They aint as pretty. But they are cheaper and will last longer, and are less likely to be stolen.
@@ericbecerra5893 that's what she said. You can say silver plated or silver plate, it's the same thing.

Gordons' love of the staff is amazing. He really knows what side the bread is buttered on. It is no wonder he is so successful.
After hearing Robert say, "they don't have to work here" about his dedicated staff, it was quite satisfying to learn he'd been ripped off

That "estimate" was optimistic at best. Actually selling all of it for that much, realistically, is not possible. Even if an auction house took it all, he'd get maybe half after fees, assuming all of it sold, which it wouldn't. Collectors don't want copies. He'd do better at a yard sale moving it but would make little. This guy was a sucker, probably too arrogant to question anything before buying.
But it’s dated? That one floored me.
My theory is: he bought it cheap on the internet and used it at his hotel as a decoy to show off. Thst guy is about optics, not about reality.
Yeah very true, And while some looks nice a lot of it just looks junky and really outdated like yard sale material. I think the mindset of someone buying a item being something along the lines of like, Oh this looks nice I guess I'll get it and not like, I HAVE to have this! And that type of thinking is something that effects how much they're willing to pay for it like someone may like X but are perfectly fine not getting it because the price is some ridiculous amount for some random object.
probably took pride in knowing he has millions of dollars and bought majority of this crap from some seller whos a scammer probably did little to no research in Antique dealing or buying and assumed yeah that looks good ill take it and probably got con'd by the seller cos all they need to do is talk crap to sell it like say this is BEATIFUL oil painting from this date very famous like all he needs is some dumb excuse or reason and people get suckered like this guy was i feel sorry for Ari because Robert stole / took all of Ari's savings to buy all this junk and basically wasted all his income
@@stefaniebraun3319 You are likely correct. The painting for instance can be sold on mass online. Just some research shows it's a common painting to copy.

This is accurate. After working for business owners I come to realize they greatly exaggerate the worth of the stuff they buy.

Don Cartegena duh lmao this was easy prey for the show’s producers and probly ramsay himself if he looked closely the first time
The guy claimed to be a 'collector' but he had no certificates, purchase order or tracking data to back up his claims. So Gordon clearly had reasons to be suspicious, but it's always possible that some of that junk was actually worth something so bringing in an expert was definitely the right move.
na i think this was an actual attempt to try and earn him some money but then it blew up pretty fast maybe he wasnt expecting 300k but he definitely wasnt expecting 25k
darkespeon64 exactly what I think too. People want to gift Gordon god powers. Like on top of being a excellent Chef he’s also a master appraiser! Like cmon
That's what he tried doing twice to the cupcake business but the owners found out midshooting and now we have the legendary episodes where the owner gives Gordon a hard time and every time he tries getting loud and mad she would just up the ante and throw stuff at him like he would do on Hell's Kitchen, needless to say he did not sign up for it so he left only a half hour through the original episode and said he'll never return back even if they visit it again in a future episode of Kitchen Nightmares "sharltons trying to get free publicity off my Hell's Kitchen persona"
25k is still alot for this crap
Darien Ford But someone still needs to buy that crap.

@New Keys You are a simple person who has no idea how auctions work. The auction house gets a percentage of the sale, therefore it is in their benefit for the items to sell for as much as is possible.
New Keys ....J A is right....Auctioneers want stuff to sell for as much as possible so they make the most profit. How do you think auctioneers make money?? Their salary is based off the percentage they get from every sale, therefore if the items sell for more, they get more money. You really think the auctioneers would fuck themselves over like that?

damn dude you're getting cooked by everyone. how does it feel to get fucking rekt?
2:23 "I can't imagine what someone would pay for it, it's really very low value."
The face of the guy was just priceless.
You can buy that exacty same paining online
No pun intended
Owner: stuff is worth $300,000
Auctioneer: I'm about to end this man's whole career
That man did it to himself.
"Boom (accumulation, not a collection), bam (about 25k), bop (that's plate), bada-bop boom pow (No, we wouldn't)."
"OHHHHH (Closed in 2014 due to debts totalling 1.1 million clams)!"
2:10 …what she said there doesn’t translate as an opinion to her, it’s kind of a fact. 😅
1:43 Gordon trying to hide that smile. He knew the stuff was junk.
Well when he is standing next to a smug piece of shit like this dude, I'd be laughing too
Obviously he knew, there’s so much shit in there she had to do an actual walk through off camera to see if there was anything actually value before throwing out that 25k number. Meaning Gordon set homeboy up the entire time knowing this stuff wasn’t worth shit lol
@@onebuffalo5402 lmaooooo awesome so true hahahahahaha
To be honest, if you take a quick look you don't have to be an expert to see some of that stuff is crap. Its actually kind of tacky looking, not fancy.
Junk... Cheap stuff
The auctioneer looked genuinely disappointed in his phony collection.
of course, she is trying to make money off real antiques.
“It’s not a collection, it’s an accumulation.”
🤦🏻♂️🤣🤒🔥🎤⬇️
Lol
Shots fired😂😂😂💀💀💀
That’s a lot like- “ no that’s not a nice tan, it’s an accumulation of dirt”.
Sorry, you misplaced the arrow at the like button. Stop begging with these shit comments.
@@suuhpuur it was supposed to be a mic drop not a misplaced arrow dumbass
Robert: "This is first period, this is Sheffield"
Amy: "Yeah, it's... A plate"
🤣💀
Not _a_ plate. Plate. As in silver plate, a thin coating of silver covering a cheaper metal, rather than pure silver. Still very nice for what it is, and worth some money if good quality, but no meltdown value.
@@cisium1184 telling plated from real silver is antique dealer 101
plated coffee pot, teapot, creampot and tray set in very good condition Aud$70 at charity shops like St Vincent de Paul.
we just gave ours away to charity.
worth diddly squat
Two of the best things about this
1) When she says that there are condition issues and its more like stuff instead of a collection you can see Robert thinking "Ok so not 300K but I bet 250K"
2) When she says its worth 25,000 Gordon's reaction is amazing because you know he to was thinking "Oh at least 100,000 to 200,000" and the fact that it wasn't just kills him.
Even she said at 3:03 "175 bucks" means it's not worth it anymore
Three best things tbh
3) The stuff is so shit she isn't even willing to sell it for him.
Rick “This collection is going to take space in my shop, i gotta make money. It’s gonna sit for a long time. I gotta reframe it and spit shine it. The best I could do is 20 bucks, would you take 5?”
P E D R O 😂😂😂😂
P E D R O 😂😂😂😂
"I'm taking all the risk here".
I've seen this episode before, but I'm only now noticing how nervous the owner appears when the appraiser shows up. Almost as if he knows what she's going to say about his "collection" before she even begins.
I think everyone would get pangs of doubt once an appraiser shows up, because they could just rock your shit no matter how sure you are, one can always be wrong
Moreso because you would know that she has already appraised everything off camera prior to this scene. The setup reeked gotcha before she even began talking.
1:39 he was like-🗿
I can't breathe 😭😂
I am not an art expert by any means... but when I looked at that room full of 'antiques,' my immediate first thought was "Wow, it looks like the contents of my nan's front room."
This dude is making me feel proud of my anime figure collection.
It's fake
Depending on which ones you have, they could be worth more.
On behalf of Gordon Ramsey and the entirety of the world, you shouldn’t.
Anime is cancer
@@georgwagner4438 Fuck off
Gordon Ramsay went full Rick Harrison and brought his expert in to say it was all crap.
Rip
It’s funny cuz rick has made many horrible deals based off of appraisals from his “experts”.
@@tacotilko6862 what are you talking about?
Ahahahahahahah lmfao
@13thHoneyBadger wrecked by west nile virus that is the thing with collectibles. they can skyrocket up or plummet due to various factors. the appraiser may also just be out of date on price or what region that item was sold in
"We think we're floating on $300k, and we're distracted with the bits of crap in here ...". That line murders me every time!
There's got to be a Nigerian prince in this guy's life somewhere.
When you thought you cleaned your room but then your mom comes to inspect it
The only item of value in that room is the copper wiring in the walls
😂😂
I spit out my coffee when I heard him insist on authenticity 'because it had a 1700's date' written on it.
Did you think the Van Gogh hanging in your dentist's bathroom was authentic?
But it IS authentic. I signed his name on the piece myself
