The producer BOUGHT the belt from Kevin for an agreed price listing it himself as a shill prop on the show they took the big hit not kevin who was a member of everything. He had the belt on ebay when the producer contacted him
Let's not forget to mention that he probably had to give the Gallery a good 25-30% commission from the sale too - so he probably walked out with only $400-$450 at the end of the day. Had he gone to eBay in the first place, he probably could've sold it for a good $1,750 - $2,000 and only have to dish out 5% for a seller final value fee, if he were to accept check or money order on it (PayPal rips you one, as a buyer too). Not the smartest cat on the block, but hey, he's in school to get an education... and he just got taught a harsh lesson in reality!
wow this hurt my heart to see and watch, being such a fan of not only pro wrestling and combat sports, but of the belts and Dave Millican and Reggie Parks, the kings of belt making. I personally would have gave him 1000 minimum for that. The host of the show was kind of off base a bit though, thinking a wrestler wearing it would have driven up the price. Possibly depending on the particular belt and wrestler, but in all honestly, the fact that it was still in such fantastic condition and a Millican belt is what is giving that particular belt all the value. I bet Dave Millican himself would have bought that belt back right there on his visit for a good price had he known it would have went to auction and sold for so cheap. Wow, I gotta start attending some of these auctions i see. You never know what item could pop up for live bidding.
Had the guy put it on eBay he woulda probably gotten retail sheesh what a dummy I woulda at least tried to get a reserve price on the auction here so if I didn't get the bread needed i could just put er up on eBay
Well for one thing it wasnt a real accurate replica but wwe should have bought that and used it for thier belt today its better than the crap they use now
That's actually not a replica... Dave millican himself said it's as real. I would paid that $600 n sold it for more on eBay. A real championship belt for only $600 is a fucking steal... But u r right about replicas being over priced. They've gotten up there over the years.
he shoulda just taken it to John Barbarossa at Aj's belts n sold it there for more a less what it's worth. smh some people man, now he's out a sweet belt and his cash.
So here's the story.. Kevin put the belt on eBay.. The producers of the show bought the title to place in the auction house for tv. I found the listing online and was the only phone bidder. I had a customer for the belt so I won it and flipped it out.. I owned the butts belt for approximately 7 days and the buyers premium was 19 percent on top of my winning bid shipping was almost 50 insured as well.
+mel bias At the very least I'd have had a "reserve bid" on this belt if it was mine...that way if no one comes close to my bottom line limit I can still go home with it and try another venue or avenue! Cheers
***** should have tried e bay, i bet you could have gotten more. a lot of world wide fans. you could have put up a starting price and if it wasnt met no biggie, you needed to put it up for sale to wrestling fans. that was your mistake. good luck to you
mel bias LOL....that was not my belt on this video..I was just commenting that if it "were" my belt I'd have done things a bit differently! I appreciate your response though...Cheers
***** i would love the old nwa belt the one rogers wore and for tag team the us belts in the nwa in the mid 80's was nice. but they want arm and a leg, high demand for belts.
@@MrNWA4Life lmao ok kid relax. You Absolutely do not know a damn thing about wrestling belts. Yes Dave Milligan is expensive BUUUUTTTTTTT there isn’t a WWF logo on that belt , BECAUSE that version of that belt is known back in the late 90’s early 2000’s as WWF ( I had that same version ) . I’m not gonna stoop to your level and be ignorant so I’ll say this , unless that belt has the proper logo on it , that belt is only worth whom ever will pay for it . So go cry to someone else , sorry not sorry 🤷🏼♂️👍
if I would've heard this guys stories about it & knew that he was going to use the money for school I would've definitely given him $1,000.00 I'm 21 & I play Semi-Professional soccer, the lads & I would've had a ball in the locker room with this piece of art! Last season we actually won our conference in the NPSL & I brought out a throwback Edge "Rated R Spinner Belt" during our celebration, that guys belt would've been amazing to own, WWE made the one I have so while the material is up to par it just couldn't compare to the unique craftsmanship of that Winged Eagle Belt. Sorry I wasn't there to bid for ya fella
That's one reason not to spend a couple Grand on a replica. Your the only sucka willing to spend that much and Vince knows it. Lost about 1500 trying to sell it 😔
@@deejay1921 No dummy, it's as real as it gets. Just because it doesn't have WWE's logo faces on it. It's still a real belt made by the guy that makes some of their belts.
Hybrid belts are ugly af. It's really a "face only a mother could love" situation. Feel bad for the guy but end of the day he should have got Dave to make him a standard big eagle instead of a custom personalized to his own preference. Rare you'll find someone else who sees value in something specifically made for you.
Not really exactly the same mate haha i hate generic casual wrestling fans talking about wrestling like tge way its depicted in movies n tv shows. Boils my blood
A fist to the face is as fake as a stomp for the extra sound to it. Body slam the guy flat so it don't hurt as much while cradling their head. Pre planned who wins and how. They are all really good stage actors and deserve acknowledgement for that. Now when they start going up ladders and taking falls, some of that has to hurt especially when the table they just landed on does not break. I stopped watching when Steven Austin retired.
He would have been better off joining a Facebook belt collecting group and selling it on there
The producer BOUGHT the belt from Kevin for an agreed price listing it himself as a shill prop on the show they took the big hit not kevin who was a member of everything. He had the belt on ebay when the producer contacted him
Its a hybrid of the winged eagle and attitude WWE title belt which the WWE should be using.
The mid eagle
SethBrundleify It’s a beautiful belt that should’ve existed!!!!!!!
I'd rather have a legit looking belt than a custom homebrew belt.
Its basically the big eagle
Those old country people didn't know or care, for the belts value.

Dude should have sold it on EBay. He would of got at least $800-$1,000
He had it posted on ebay and wouldn't take 800 to 1000.. The cost originally was over 3k and he got paid more directly by the show for the item
wow this hurt my heart to see and watch, being such a fan of not only pro wrestling and combat sports, but of the belts and Dave Millican and Reggie Parks, the kings of belt making. I personally would have gave him 1000 minimum for that.

You know your stuff
The value of it would have gone up if it was held by actual wrestlers. There's no doubt about it
Got a damn deal...3,500 belt for 600....the seller had no chance of kicking out of that pin.
What a robbery smh. Definitely not belt enthusiasts there
Had the guy put it on eBay he woulda probably gotten retail sheesh what a dummy I woulda at least tried to get a reserve price on the auction here so if I didn't get the bread needed i could just put er up on eBay
I love the design!
If McMahon ever sees this he's gonna be pissed that they're calling it a belt lol
Fuck McMahon
Good comment! Vince really has screwed up a lot of the tradition and meaning of the wrestling business IMO. Even "wrestler" was a bad word to Vince.
For 600 i would buy that any day. The guy wouldve made alot more if he made a video of it and put it on youtube or sell it on ebay
Well for one thing it wasnt a real accurate replica but wwe should have bought that and used it for thier belt today its better than the crap they use now
He got jacked by going on that show. They had no idea what they had to sell. Would have easily fetched over 2k on fb or ebay. Wow.
I cant belive the auctioner told the people he payed $3.000 for it that was his downfall that and taking it to a backwater auctioner?
Looks like its some variation of the Attitude Era WWF championship
I wouldn't have paid $600 for that belt. Replica's are way too overpriced, but online he would have found a lot more money for that.
That's actually not a replica... Dave millican himself said it's as real. I would paid that $600 n sold it for more on eBay. A real championship belt for only $600 is a fucking steal... But u r right about replicas being over priced. They've gotten up there over the years.

Dave Millican made that belt, it's not a "replica".
Its 2022 and millican belts dont go for less than 3k now. People be selling millican belts for 8k and the rare ones even going for 15 k
Lmao!! Should have put a reverse of 1,500
thats the big boss man purple
Wow... Dude got robbed.
damn I would love to pay $600 for it. Easily would have paid that much for it
So here's the story.. Kevin put the belt on eBay.. The producers of the show bought the title to place in the auction house for tv. I found the listing online and was the only phone bidder. I had a customer for the belt so I won it and flipped it out.. I owned the butts belt for approximately 7 days and the buyers premium was 19 percent on top of my winning bid shipping was almost 50 insured as well.
So what was your final profit?
@@superstarreviews9937 1000
$600 is bs should be alot more
i would have gone somewhere else.
+mel bias At the very least I'd have had a "reserve bid" on this belt if it was mine...that way if no one comes close to my bottom line limit I can still go home with it and try another venue or avenue! Cheers

WOW Winged eagle and Big Eagle (Attitude Era) combined, but dam that was cheap.. tsk tsk dude had a better chance on Ebay to make money
He probably got a few bucks for being on the show. Figure he walked away with $725
He sold it to the producer directly and made much more
Highway robbery!
600 stole it
Astreiner Beschiss!
That's an atrocity.
Fair price for a belt that isn’t labeled with the WWE sign on it.
It's a Dave millican belt, anything under 1500 is an absolute steal. Most sell for 2 to 3k
You're dumb as fuck. It should be worth more that it doesn't have WWE's logo feces on it

Dose this guy know about eBay I know he would have gotten more on there

its not a replica. its a real belt made by the man who makes all the belts for the wwe
@@sharpNthug it’s technically not a “real” anything... it’s not branded with the WWE/WWF logo
@@deejay1921
No dummy, it's as real as it gets. Just because it doesn't have WWE's logo faces on it. It's still a real belt made by the guy that makes some of their belts.
@@MrNWA4Life the term real belt is not in a sense that it exists... a real belt is a true scale version of a tv championship
He could have done 10 times better on ebay
The Belts Are Not Special Anymore...If Everyone Has A Belt, Then The Belt You Are Selling On TV Has Less Potential Credibility
This belt had not much value cause it was custom. Had it been the wwf IC or the winged eagle then we can talk.
Hybrid belts are ugly af. It's really a "face only a mother could love" situation. Feel bad for the guy but end of the day he should have got Dave to make him a standard big eagle instead of a custom personalized to his own preference.

$600 Poor bastard
I was wanted a wwe belt and my birthday is coming up in two months
Happy Belated Birthday........Check out eBay for belts...A lot of good deals on there.
Except that's not a WWE belt.
It would be more interesting if it was a UFC belt
Went to the wronge place.
Dave always over values his work. Max value is $1000
Stupidest shit I've ever read. You need to put the crack pipe down.
Not really exactly the same mate haha i hate generic casual wrestling fans talking about wrestling like tge way its depicted in movies n tv shows. Boils my blood
If the sport is fake how can the belt be real? Just gold plated zinc and leather with clipart.
Leg Lover your an absolute moron
Jack Jones the belt is real
the sport is not fake, its scripted, major diffrence.
Leg Lover
Fuck off saying it’s fake, it’s not. It is scripted and pre determined but not fake. The people calling it fake really piss me off
A fist to the face is as fake as a stomp for the extra sound to it. Body slam the guy flat so it don't hurt as much while cradling their head. Pre planned who wins and how. They are all really good stage actors and deserve acknowledgement for that.

Honestly, that belt is freaking ugly. I wouldn't even pay $100.
Brian Aguiar true but I would buy it and wear it
Wow... Dude got robbed.
