  • Hey, how's it going?

  • Hey, man.

  • What is this?

  • This is a Frostmourne sword from the "World of Warcraft."

  • "World of Warcraft"?

  • RICK: That's a video game, right?

  • I think it's, like, the biggest video game of all time.

  • RICK: Chum, you know about this, right?

  • How big of a nerd do you think I am?

  • [SWORDS CLANKING]

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • TYLER: I have a "World of Warcraft"

  • sword that I'm hoping to sell it today.

  • I'm a pretty big gamer.

  • I was really into "World of Warcraft" for a long time

  • and just recently decided to move on to other things.

  • It's still on its original box.

  • I have not taken it out and played with it much.

  • So as far as I can tell, I think it's in perfect condition.

  • RICK: OK.

  • Can we see it? Is it--

  • Yeah, sure.

  • Let's take it out.

  • Here, I'll help you.

  • [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

  • Whoa, that thing is pretty cool.

  • RICK: Here.

  • CHUMLEE: Let me hold this right here.

  • Let me check this thing out here.

  • Whoa.

  • This thing is bad ass.

  • What do you think this is made out of?

  • RICK: The blade looks like it's made out of steel.

  • The "World of Warcraft" came out in 2004.

  • It was huge.

  • The game was so big that in 2008,

  • Epic Weapons actually started producing

  • weapons from in the game.

  • RICK: So this sword is the real-life version

  • of the sword used in the game?

  • TYLER: The sword is called Frostmourne.

  • This sword belonged to the Lich King

  • in the third edition of the game.

  • So what do you do in the game?

  • You just fight other people?

  • Yeah, I mean, there's all of these different characters

  • that you can fight against.

  • Or me and you could be on separate computers

  • fighting each other.

  • So you can fight real-world people,

  • and you can fight other characters that

  • are controlled by the game.

  • OK.

  • Is this one of those games where people stay up two

  • or three days and play it?

  • Sometimes people play this-- they play for days,

  • and days, and days, and days.

  • Oh, check it out.

  • Go ahead. [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • Hold this bad boy.

  • RICK: It's--

  • Hold it like a real sword.

  • Don't you feel bad ass?

  • No, I--

  • I feel kind of silly.

  • To be honest with you, you look kind of silly.

  • It looks way better in my hands.

  • You afraid I wield the power, Rick?

  • Frostmourne hungers.

  • I have no idea what you just said.

  • Please put it down, Chum.

  • How much you want for this thing?

  • I'm thinking $5,000.

  • RICK: Really?

  • I have no idea what this thing is worth.

  • So can you call up Steve for me?

  • Put it down.

  • I was gonna take it with me.

  • No, you're not going to take it with you.

  • Give him a call, and he'll help us out.

  • I'll be right back.

  • OK.

  • [SIGHING]

  • CHUMLEE: "World of Warcraft," the game of all games.

  • "World of Warcraft" is huge.

  • It's incredible what "World of Warcraft"

  • has done in the world of gaming.

  • It's one standalone game.

  • And Blizzard Entertainment, the company that kind of

  • created the whole thing, has netted around $9 billion

  • on the game.

  • RICK: That's a lot of money.

  • CHUMLEE: So this is the Frostmourne sword.

  • What do you know about this thing?

  • Well, you know, video game memorabilia and props

  • have gotten really, really big.

  • This sword in the game is the Lich King's.

  • You definitely had to have this sword if you wanted to be

  • one of those top-tier players.

  • So this sword became one of the most desirable pieces

  • of memorabilia, something that, hey,

  • if I couldn't get it in the game, at least

  • I could take it home.

  • RICK: OK.

  • So is this thing authentic, or is it just a knockoff?

  • So let me take a look at it.

  • Do you mind if I--

  • Sure, go ahead.

  • Now it's in dangerous hands.

  • [CHUCKLES] These things, they're amazing.

  • There's a couple really unique traits about it.

  • One, you do have the Epic branding and logo

  • on the back of the sword here.

  • And on most of the replicas, it doesn't actually

  • have the black laser engraving.

  • So this is definitely an authentic one.

  • You're looking at one of the most desirable pieces of "World

  • of Warcraft" collector items.

  • RICK: OK.

  • That said, what's this thing go for?

  • STEVE: Well, you know, these things have sold for as

  • much as $5,000 at one time.

  • However, you're going to have to find someone who actually

  • wants an authentic one.

  • Someone might be satisfied having a replica

  • hanging on their wall.

  • I think you probably are going to be able to get somewhere

  • around $1,350 for this.

  • OK, thanks, man.

  • No problem.

  • Thanks, Chum.

  • RICK: All right.

  • He just told me it's going to be hard to sell.

  • [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

  • Yeah-- boy.

  • I'll give you $600 for it.

  • I mean, I don't think I can do $600.

  • Could I get $1,000 for it?

  • I have to resell it.

  • It's going to sit there for a while.

  • I'll make it easy on you.

  • I'll go $750 on it.

  • I'm not going to go a penny more.

  • I'll agree to the $750.

  • OK, $750.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • Go write him up, Chum.

  • Leave the sword here.

  • I will put it in the box.

  • You want to play with it, don't you?

  • No, I don't want to play with it.

  • I'll meet you right over there, write it up

  • while he plays with the sword.

  • Cool.

Hey, how's it going?
