  • [music playing] MAN: This is bad ass.

  • RICK: It's in incredibly good shape though.

  • Christmas is coming up soon.

  • RICK: (SINGING) Dashing through the snow

  • in a one-horse open sleigh.

  • COREY: So what in the world do we have here?

  • Well, this is a family sleigh.

  • It's been in my mom's living room for many years.

  • It's actually been a Christmas decoration

  • that stays year round.

  • COREY: Hey, pops, you know anything about antique sleighs?

  • (SINGING) Dashing through the snow

  • in a one-horse open sleigh.

  • [laughs] - Thanks, dad.

  • I appreciate that.

  • Do you know how old it is or anything, or?

  • MAN: It was made somewhere between 1850

  • and 1880, don't know exactly when.

  • These things were used in wintertime

  • outside when it was nasty.

  • It's in incredibly good shape though.

  • MAN: It is in great shape.

  • RICK: How much do you want for it?

  • MAN: $4,300.

  • RICK: Not going to happen.

  • I will tell you what, I'll give you $1,000 for it.

  • Ooh.

  • RICK: Look at it from my perspective, OK?

  • First off, if I sell this to someone who's actually going

  • to use it, they're going to have to redo the interior,

  • and they're going to bitch about it.

  • If I sell this to someone who wants to make it a Christmas

  • display in their store or something like that,

  • they're a business owner, they're cheap.

  • You know what?

  • I'm looking at what I can sell it for.

  • MAN: I understand.

  • There is a very, very slim market for cutter sleighs.

  • So I will give you $1,000.

  • I'm sorry, I just can't go that low.

  • RICK: OK.

  • All right, thanks a lot, man.

  • Appreciate it very much.

  • Hey, how's it going?

  • What can I help you with?

  • Well, I have four pieces of original Mad Magazine Don

  • Martin preliminary art of the cover,

  • one of the Christmas issues.

  • These are very interesting, because a lot of the Don Martin

  • art that's available today is his black-and-white art that's

  • actually inside the magazine.

  • I think these are much more desirable,

  • because they are related to the cover

  • and because they are in color.

  • COREY: Any idea how much you're looking to get?

  • I'm looking for $3,000.

  • COREY: OK.

  • I don't know how to put a price on unpublished Christmas

  • sketches, so I called my buddy Chad to come

  • down and check them out.

  • What do you think they're worth?

  • CHAD: I would put these at somewhere between $400 to $600

  • per piece--

  • around $2,400 on the high end.

  • You still have to get them framed and things.

  • COREY: I'd like to offer you around $1,000 for them.

  • Selling them for $1,000, I lose money.

  • OK, well, give me a better number.

  • $2,000.

  • I'll do $1,200.

  • Ah!

  • If you do $1,500, you have a deal.

  • All right, I'll do $1,500.

  • You got a deal.

  • RICK: Hey, how can I help you?

  • MAN: I got this tin box here.

  • It's fairly old.

  • I know it's old, just by the date on the bottom.

  • RICK: "Christmas 1914."

  • This was a gift to the British troops.

  • While World War I was raging on in Europe,

  • Princess Mary in England thought it would be very, very nice

  • for all the troops to get a present,

  • so they came up with this little brass box

  • and they distributed it to all the troops.

  • It also had a little thing of tobacco in it,

  • and they determined that the nurses should not

  • get the tobacco because it was not

  • proper for a woman to smoke, and that chocolate would

  • have been the nicest thing.

  • How much were you looking to get out of it?

  • $200.

  • No.

  • MAN: What's your best offer?

  • I'll make this really, really easy on you.

  • I'll give you $100.

  • No.

  • I'd probably be willing to take $125 for it.

  • RICK: It's not going to happen.

  • And the cool thing is Christmas is coming up, so it'll sell.

  • If you come in next month, I'm going

  • to offer you less, because I'm going to have to hold it a year

  • to sell it.

  • These things sell around Christmas time.

  • MAN: OK.

  • I'll give you $100.

  • OK.

  • All right, cool.

  • All right, follow me. We'll write this up.

  • MAN: OK. - How you doing, guys?

  • How's it going?

  • All-righty.

  • What I have here today is a storyboard

  • from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

  • drawing, with the signature of Chuck Jones.

  • I got about 50 Grinches in my family, so.

  • RICK: [laughs]

  • This is bad-ass.

  • This thing barely happened, because the networks

  • were afraid of it.

  • They told Chuck Jones and Dr. Seuss, find your own sponsors

  • and maybe we'll do it.

  • But eventually, they found a bank that would sponsor it.

  • What do you want for it?

  • I'm looking to get $5,000.

  • $5,000 for--

  • These go for much more in some auctions that recently closed,

  • and this is signed.

  • I actually know a Grinch I can call

  • who might help me out with it.

  • He'll know more than I do.

  • - The old man's coming to work? - No.

  • I'm going to call Chad.

  • So what do you think?

  • This is a-- it's a super cool collaboration between Dr.

  • Seuss and Chuck Jones.

  • So how much do you think it's worth?

  • My feeling is it's worth between $2,500 and $3,000.

  • I'd give you $1,500 for it.

  • Ah, can't go that low. $2,250.

  • I'll tell you what, I'll give you two grand for it.

  • - 21. - Nope.

  • Ah. Ch-ch-ch-ch.

  • All righty, let's do it. - All right.

  • Cool, man.
