  • What do we got here?

  • What I hope I have here is an original disintegrator gun

  • from the "Buck Rogers" series.

  • All right, that's really cool.

  • Where did you get this?

  • I won it in a poker game.

  • I took it as part of a payment for debt.

  • So what does this gun do?

  • I'm pretty sure it disintegrates people.

  • Doesn't work.

  • Shut up, Chum.

  • The gun looks like it's pretty futuristic.

  • It's got all these swirly things on it and it's metal.

  • It looks definitely like it could be from the future.

  • I'm hoping to get at least $100, because that's

  • what the debt was for.

  • But I honestly would probably take

  • just about anything since I don't want to keep the gun

  • myself.

  • You know, this was pretty much the start

  • of like, modern science fiction right here.

  • Do you know what "Buck Rogers" is about?

  • Yeah, it's about those kids on a Ferris wheel,

  • and they get like, time warped back to the dinosaurs.

  • So they got to escape, but they got to find

  • a new black hole to get out.

  • That's not at all--

  • I've never even heard of that story.

  • I remember he was in a war, was put into a coma for 700 years.

  • And then somehow wakes up in another war.

  • Do you know any more?

  • I think there was some sort of gas,

  • and just put him in suspended animation,

  • and then he wakes up in the future,

  • but doesn't realize it's the future.

  • All right.

  • Obviously, I wasn't around in the 30s,

  • but I know Buck Rogers is one of the most popular

  • characters from that era.

  • I'm sure any of the merchandise from his show

  • is really valuable, and I'm not sure how valuable.

  • So what do you want to do with it?

  • I would like to sell it.

  • Any idea of how much you want or?

  • Maybe you could go like, $175.

  • "Buck Rogers".

  • Tell you what, I'll do $150.

  • - You've got a deal. - All right.

  • All right, sounds good.

  • Chum Lee, write him up.

  • Sure, meet me right up there.

  • All right.

  • I was ecstatic to get $150 for it.

  • The debt I got it for $100, so I made an extra $50.

  • It's a win for me.
