He's way too calm for someone who was raised believing it was authentic.
He knew it was a piece of garbage lol 😆
wait a minute. you don't suppose that this, was maybe, scripted? and he was acting on a reality TV show???
He probably found it in a dumpster and thought, I can use this to get on Pawn Stars.
Yup his oily haircut alone makes him look shifty
doesnt hurt to try
@@michaelweston2285 how about. shut the heck up cause no one cares. it's a real pawn shop so doesn't matter.
"It was my grandfathers, he made it in woodshop when he was in high school."
Righteous Indignation lol
HIGHSCHOOL
I am sure he did lol
🤭 $700,000 he said he will take 😂
SandManJono 123 he made 700,000 sound like a few 100 dollars lol 😂
When you walk in with a Stradivarius and walk out with firewood.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just a bit of kindling 🤣
I literally lol
Good job sir that one got me.
My thought exactly. LOL
That Stradivarius was made in a little town in Mexico in the lords year of 2017.
Yes, and they have to be tossed into the back yard to age for at least 3 years before they're authentic.
Sorry bro, it's made in a little town somewhere in China that don't know what is a violent... LOL
Not a single soul loses 700k (at least) and reacts like that, he already knew
He didn’t lose nothing it was fake lmao he left with what he came with nothing it been in his family he didn’t buy it
I've got one of them too....I reacted kinda like that. You never really expect something to ACTUALLY be worth 700k, youre constantly waiting for that other shoe to drop, so when it does youre like yep...this is how my life goes. Getting that kind of money all at once would be LIFE CHANGING, and we're conditioned to know deep down that our life isn't gonna change.
Well he didn't lose 700k so maybe that's y?
wait a minute. you don't suppose that this, was maybe, scripted? and he was acting on a reality TV show???
He was in Vegas. Maybe he just has a good poker face lol
The pressure on the expert's belt though!

Chum should have called Rebecca! She knows a good work of fiction when she see one.
Underrated comment
Not only that but she’s easy to look at
He thought he outsmarted his cousins by taking the violin instead of the $50k cash inheritance.....
Yo, no one’s gonna talk about how much weight Chumlee has lost
Lol I was gona comment that but saw youre comment
He lost more than 700,000 lbs
Meth will do that to ya
His head forgot to lose weight
He is a tweeker
Seller: "$700,000. Final offer!
Pawn Shop Expert: "It's worthless."
Seller: "Cool. I'm going to nail it to the wall."
underrated
And pay homage to his grandfather geez 😑 some people think to highly of their family members.
"This Violin is fake"
Someone get to playing the Worlds smallest violin for this guy. 😭

@@notoffroading I like Pawn Stars lol
i love ur vids lol

“It’s real because all the fake violins had to have a label on them saying ‘copy’” Omg this guy..... hahaha
He probably owns the Brooklyn bridge too.
I Literally Laugh Out Loud When I Heard Him Say That. "I Know It Real, Because It Doesn't Have A FAKE Lable On It" LOL!!
I know it's real because the guy who sold it to me told me it wasn't fake.
"they had to do that because there were too many fakes out there but mine definitely isn't. My grandpa from Tijuana got his hand on the real deal somehow"
Look how new the label looks lol. No wear or anything.
IF it had been a genuine one, it would have been absolutely tragic purely because of the shocking condition that it was in. I know accidents happen, but you'd hope that such a valuable and high quality instrument would have been looked after!
People stumble and stand on them when they are in their box, open, once that happens and repair is considered a waste of time they could be left to rust like that
They can be fixed up. I could make that one look new (on the outside..)
I mean anything 300 years old is going to look like that more often than not, if it's something meant to be handled.
I think these kinds of instruments being highly worn is lovely. Works like this deserved to be played and enjoyed to their fullest intent, not sitting on some prize shelf collecting dust for years
Whateva, anyway all soloist or organization wanted a reasonable prescious desirable instruments, look at the sound.
Expert looks like he's storing nuts for the winter
He looks like a squirrel.. 😃
Deez?

Lmao

To be honest I was just worried about the belt popping on the expert, he could have killed someone.

"In order to create a copy of it they have to mark it as a copy"
- Laughs in criminal
Lol he was like " ha he bought it"
Oh really? Sorry about that here is 6 million
They know it is a fake.
If you have a Stradivarius you won't sell it in a pawn shop. You would ask Christie to sell it for you.
You also don't pick it up with your oily sweaty hands.
actaully true. what pawn shop owner would even be abel to afford 700,000 dollars lol
This would have been a better Television segment if Rick walked in hours after Chum had already given the customer a few hundred thousand!
“Yeah I’ve seen millions”
Chum: *chuckles*
“I’m in danger”
Ugin has spoken
"I'm gonna go call my buddy, you take a look around." Leave the 700 K violin by itself.
Good thing its a knockoff
Good thing those are actors in the back ground and this is a tv set inside a pawn shop
It's based on a true story
WHYYOUSMILINGWHENYOURNEXT? huh? Who knows if it's true...but I've been to the pawn shop twice... Half the store is pawn stars t shirts mugs etc memorabelia...it's like your going to a gift shop...when they film im guessing it's just a TV set
Chum does all his stunts
“It’s been in my family a long time” it was his grandfathers... lol
Bruh, his grandfather was probably born in the 20th century or very late 19th centuries.

"So it's not a real Stradivarius?"
"No."
"Do you think it has any value to it?"
"Well, it could probably start one heck of a fire."
From the way the owner behaves, his faces, etc. I’d say he absolutely knew it was fake.
Maybe trying to scam the pawn starts 😂
If that label was from 1731 I’ve been to the moon. 🤣
Allan Googe Buzz is that you? 🤣🤣🤣
@@LouieGrandie XDDDD EMOJISSSSSS
It was the best part of that violin
He printed it out before coming in
U have actually 🧐
Chumlee: “Well, since you brought it all the way in here, I’ll give you fifty bucks for it.” Sold.
Next day sign in front window: “Stradivarius for sale. First $700,000 takes it home.” 🎻
Hahaha😅
Yep I was at a goodwill a few months ago and came across one of these violins. So took it to the back of the store, sat on one of the couches and researched and found out his violins were copied as an omage many times over the years and finding a real one is pretty much impossible as all the ones he originally made were accounted for. So I put it back.
You could of been a millionaire buying a strat for goodwill prices but naw.... Can't risk it. I don't care what people say about you, you are smart!
@@jw1741 You can use the same logic for buying a lottery ticket. The odds are fairly similar. Strat made 900 TOTAL, and there are literally millions of copies floating around.
How much? I got a violin at salvation army for $15. Good deal if you ask me. Strad or not it's still playable
Even though it was fake, just look at the worn spots on that fretboard, that violin was very much loved, it must have sounded amazing at its prime!
I commend you for saying the one positive thing on these comments.
I agree. Love is love, no matter the price! 😊
It is fake, the wear patterns can be faked, You are being naive.
First was a treasure to cash on... then on a wall to remember grandpa...
yeah, that escalated quickly
Luis Alfonso Alba well cuz it wasn’t worth anything dollar wise 🤷♂️
Thought the exact same thing
How much we gave in title ?
Pawn stars : whole video
Stradivarius violins were always highly sought after. In the 1700s his violins were prized possessions played by the greatest violinists at that time. No, it was never a law. There's so many GREAT Strad copies that go for 10s of thousands that have what looks to be the real label. Some are literally 300 year old violins that people 175 years ago placed the label on. So the likelihood of finding a Stradivarius anywhere other than museums and the very wealthy are absolutely 0.
They should of just kicked him out the moment the case was opened. Guy picked this up from the junkyard and brought it in 100%
Yea I don’t think anyone believed this jackass when he said it’s been in his family for years.
It's all scripted my man don't worry hahaha
At the end of the day everybody who's on cam gets paid either way.
I love how the expert talks about Stradivarius as though he’s still alive
i am asking for $700,000..
Chumlee: but its fake..
Seller:..$700 is a deal..
🤣🤣
A *FAIR* deal 😂😂😂
emojis xddddddddddddddddddddddd
The owners demeanor says it all.
He could always list this violin as "RARE!" on eBay...
Chum: "let me call a buddy of mine"
Owner: *dies inside* "okay, sounds good"
I’ve heard from a lot of violinists that the violin market is actually super weird. Professionals will actually turn down genuine strad violins just to keep the price up. Apparently there’s actually way more strads out there than the industry says just because they don’t want the average person to be able to have one. It’s super crazy, I have a friend whose a professional violinist. Her whole life she’s owned a strad violin, she went in 13 times to get it authenticated and each time they turned it down. But once she became a professional and started playing in huge concerts all those people that looked at it started sending her letters saying they’ve changed their minds and it is authentic.
Interesting
I think it s the other way around and there are more "authenticated" strads than there could have been produced :P
It's called the Trump Factor, we can't allow commoner's in our society.
huh?
This story is "actually super weird." "Professionals will actually turn down genuine strad violins just to keep the price up" makes no sense whatsoever.
Lesson learned, never buy fake stuff in case your grandson will sell it.
All Strads are accounted for an documented. There is NO law saying a label must say "copy".
All of them are not truly accounted for, we do not know the exact number of violins (and other instruments he made) he made, nor the exact number of the surviving ones. The common estimate is that roughly 1100 strads were ever produced, and 244 of them are known and accounted for today.
Most of the missing ones are probably lost to time but there might be more surviving strads out there, very difficult to prove if you happen to have one though.
"And find out what it really is." Was the big give away. Odd thing to say if you know it is a Stradivarius.
When he got told he wasn't making a million dollars he pulled a face like a stranger on the bus just asked him if he was having a nice day
I still find this one of the most hilarious items brought on, like really...how could anyone think that's a genuine Strad
First time time I've heard chum say "I need to call in a friend of mine"
suppose that's what he gets for trying to sell off a family heirloom
Tesseract 14 he said his grandfather bought it because it sounded better then the one he owned
@DjRawd0g that makes it even more horrible to try and sell it, aomerhing so valuable would make it an incredible thing to pass down
Would you rather have your grandpas old violin he bought and never played or $700,000
@@Jay-sw9cg but he did play it
Chum has come a long way.
Good work!!!

Seriously I was noticing the same thing. He’s lost so much weight and he’s learned to ask enough questions. Lol early on he was buying whatever pretty much 🤣

I see this same joke on every pawn stars video 😒
Rick wasn't even in it. Lame
hoh hoh hoo
Spoiler alert: it's fake...but who are they to talk? So is Pawn Stars.
He’s thinking about that home theater he just installed and how he’s gonna have to take it out😂😂😂
He won't be answering the door for Rentacenter
All the Strads have been tracked for ages so a new one popping out of nowhere would be giant news in and of itself.
many builders if asked to repair one in that time period would steal the label and put that label in one of their builds to sell for more. and says stradavarii not ius

@@tambias the more you know
Tell me why I was looking up when the Champions resumes, and then I see your comment haha
I'd love it if instead of carefully placing it back in its case, the expert just wordlessly dropped the violin on the floor and walked away after declaring it was a fake.
yeah no...
if he did that, I would get mad. Even though it is not real, that violin is a family heirloom and is very special. It has experienced decades of history and in general it's just really bad manners to purposely drop someone's treasured possession onto the floor. (no matter how worthless it is)
You could hear the nervousness in his voice when he said " sounds good" to the expert coming to take a look
Been a while since I've watched this show. Chumlee has lost a ton of weight. Good for him !
Holly it’s old, they don’t do it anymore
He lost weight from using meth.
I’ve actually worked with the guy who looked at the violin. He helped out a bit with my high school orchestra. Even conducted a song for us.
What's his name?
What highschool?
Liar
He was a fraud. He admitted behind the scenes that he was no Stradivarius expert.
How much pressure on expert belt?
Belt: galaxy😂
I love his self analysis "I think a REASONABLE price would be 700k"
If it was genuine, he wouldn't be far off.
The look of defeat on him was priceless
So was the look on your mom's face
Chumlee did a good job reciting his lines.
He stayed up for 3 days on meth memorizing those lines
And I was thinking his weight loss was due to gastric bypass surgery, how naive am I?
Chum looks much thinner than usual!!!

@@jerryseinfeld5713 i know but before season 8 has was more fatter and after this he was like usual, I don't know how did he lose that much weight in just that season!!!

Wow, he took that really well, especially for as much as he was hoping to get for it.
Well yeah lol he knew already
Wasn't there a Stratovarious forger that made copies worth nearly as much as the actua ones? I seem to remember a story about 1 or 2 specific forgers that were almost as well known for amazing copies that performed nearly as well.
I been waiting for one of them to say "I'm gonna call a friend of ours" instead of always saying "a friend of mine" 😂
I also carry around my Stradivarius in a flimsy cardboard case.
Now that it ain't worth jack, he's going to pay homage to his grandfather lol.

Notice, everything thing has been in the family forever, then they find out the item is 2 years old
I like how Chum went from the butt of all jokes to the most professional person on this show
The expert's vest doesn't reach his belt.
So every thing decays expect the label 😂
The seller didn’t even seem surprised when the expert said it was fake
the violin was fake, the owner knew it and the whole scene was a staged set up anyway. No fake, fake, fake.
Mark Innes Wow the show is fake? You don’t say! I haven’t seen a million comments saying that on each of their videos, so thanks for enlightening me about that Sherlock.
Just a glance in the general direction of that violin you can tell it’s not a strad. Just using peripheral vision.
Yeah my pops had a violin with a Stradivarius label on it. We pretty much just joked about it, knowing it was absolutely an "ohmage" Strad. But it did look and sound quite nice. It belonged to his grandfather who was an orchestra leader in Oakland, CA during the depression.
With that hair do, the seller knew it was fake before walking into the shop.

Chum looks good. I’m glad those guys lightened up. We need our show! It’s like antique roadshow for people under 60.
Imagine if this was the real thing but this guy just doesn’t know what he’s talking about
It's worth the seller to investigate further because even the better tribute pieces that were handcrafted to Stradivari specifications are worth anywhere from 30K to 300K given condition and who made it. A starter violin would set you back one grand and most who play in an orchestra, pay anywhere from 3K to 50K for their instrument. You looking at several hundred for a restoration.
Then who would? Someone else in his line of business? Why?
Guys this is a joke
capitalismforme wow real slick reply I bet you comment that one a lot
Autumn Aarilyn Violin condition is about the how well it can play given the damage. This violin is unplayable and will never be able to be repaired. You can’t fix cracks like that or a varnish so badly damaged. I wouldn’t pay $50 for that even if it was from the 1800s because there’s no use for it besides being an ugly display
