Pawn Stars: Harrison Bargained Deal To Buy A 100,000-Year-Old Item For $1,700!

Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars is crazy about collecting antique pieces. He has an eye for finding rare items. But he also knows how to bargain very well. Another factor that enhances the authenticity of the products in the G&B shop is that he always has an expert on hand to verify if a piece is genuine or not. Once, a guest brought a fossil on the show. And the moment Harrison saw it, he knew he wanted it in his collection.

Rick noticed that the fossil had something written on it, claiming it was a mastodon tusk from Point Barrow, Alaska. He admitted that it is rare but really cool. The guest then revealed that three men in Point Barrow probably found the tusk, and they might have cut it into three pieces to divide among themselves. Further, Harrison added that it would have been costly if the guest had the whole piece. Explaining the age of the tusk, Rick said that mastodons were widespread across North America until approximately 7,000 to 8,000 years ago. 10,000 years ago.

He further guessed that when humans entered the area, they killed all of them as they were really docile creatures. The guest, Robert, said that he would want to get $2,000 for it. Rick then decided to bring in an expert paleontologist, Andre Lujan. After examining the item, the expert noted that it appears to be a charming piece, and the enamel is in excellent condition. He further stated that it could be thousands of years old. Lujan also noted that the piece was the tip of the tusk and had some artificial damage.

The expert stated that it could be worth $2,500, which is slightly higher than what the guest had asked for. Harrison presented his price, which was $1,400. After some bargaining and negotiation, both Harrison and the guest agreed to lock the deal at $1,700. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more Pawn Stars updates and tea.
