The Most Expensive Item Found at an Antique Show EVER

We are back at the Antique Show in Miami. The weather is beautiful indoors. In addition to buying and selling, we're going to try to fulfill three challenges. Number one, I want to buy something at this show and flip it for a profit at this show. It's difficult, but I'm going to give it a go. Number two, I want to buy something that is not jewelry, something unique that is only found at an antique show. And challenge number three, I want to find something worth $1 million. So let's go. It's going to be a fun one. My goal is to find something that I can flip at the show. What's something that's a crazy deal? Something fast. How much is this? If you're doing it for a flip challenge, I'll do $1,800 for you just so I can get into action with you. Platinum or gold? Platinum. The marquee cut is an interesting one because they don't sell that well, but I think they're having a moment. Tell me everything negative about what I'm selling. I think they're having a moment. Tell me everything negative, and then it'll still be $1,800. Realistic, right? Yeah. $1,800. Not the easiest sell in my eyes. You're for $1,500? Blah, blah, blah, blah. No, because my cost is $1,650. $1,500. $1,800. I could have started at $2,000 and then worked down and blah, blah, blah. It's a good price. What else you got? This one, $2,750, and I'll shake your hand. All right, $2,800. Sure. Next up, what's the best on this one? I want to try to flip it literally right now. Fast, fast. Watch this. $5,000. You in? I'm in. Sri Lankan. Heat? Heat. Yeah, a little bit. Just a little bit. It's fair, but I'm looking for high quality. Okay. Maybe next time. How about $2,500? Come on. I can't. Next time. All right, it didn't work. Next time. Let's see if I got a new one. No heat. Okay, how much? Nice. It's signed by Legar. You know Legar. Very nice. I don't like to buy signed pieces. I buy for the chain. I offer $5,000. He wants $85,000. What? No heat. $2,000. $2,000? Yes. Maybe $4,000 a diamond, you know? You pay for a GI, no heat. Guaranteed? Guaranteed to something. Okay, how about this? I trade you $2,900 for a carat, no heat. I don't trade. It's not mine. What? It gets from below, my neighbor. You could pay me this. What is this? $2,900 for a carat. A big window. No. You see a window. You see right through. You see your assistant right there. Yes. How can you breathe if there is no window? There is no air. There is no heat? No heat. Well, nice. Guaranteed. Not much. Good price for you. I want this and I want this. Give me this. All right. It's starting to hurt my throat. $3,500 total. Total? Dude, can I show my dad this? Sure. He just showed me this. What is it? It's cheap. $2,900 for a carat, no heat sapphire. $3,000 for the whole ring. It's a no-brainer. Too bad you have brain. Too bad I don't have this happening. $2,900. For a 3-carat, no heat? Yeah, but it's a... What do you call that? Ask him $3,000. The metal itself is... The metal itself is about 4 grams, must be. I think it's like 15 grams or something. I think it's like $800 or $900 in just metal. It's platinum. $60 a gram. Where does that come from? A lot of money. Trying to roll through here and make a couple hundred bucks. That's what I'm doing. I'm just trying to make literally $100. $4,250. $3,000. I'm making pennies. Because I like your $2,200. That's what I'm doing. I'm good. Thank you. We're going to try to flip these rings that I bought. So, let's see. I got some crazy stuff. No heats. Are they really? Heated. The sapphire's a little white. Whatever. I'll flip it. I'll actually flip it for you. Thanks. For like a cousin price. Finally. You won't believe the price I'm about to give him. $2,000. Come on. I'll make it $3,500. Come on. $3,500. No, dude. Let's say this is a 1-carat. It's $144. No heat. $2,000 for that stone. This is a piece of ----. $500. $500 for the mounting. $3,000. $3,500. Meet in the middle at $3,100. $3,300. $3,200. You know, I texted him last night to get dinner, and he just ignored me. So, that's going to be $3,400. Oh, you don't want it? Want to buy something? No. $2,500. Heated. $3,550? Yep. Sure? No, no one. Yeah, that white line just doesn't go away. I can't like unsee it. You're very specialized. Can you do $2,000 specialized? $2,250. Meet in the middle. Just get something going. $2,150. Let's go. Not bad. Ha ha! You flipped something. I flipped something. Challenge one complete. All right, I got this absolutely killer ring. It's a $339 Ceylon heated. Pretty sure if you send it to GIA, it'll get royal blue. Maybe. I need $6,000 for it. $6,000 what? Rupees. Thank God. $6,000 US dollars for this would be kind of crazy. Why? Let me show you something. I'll sell this to you for $6,000. This is actually a killer stone. But how much are you asking for carat on here? $6,000. I'm asking $2,000 a carat. All right, check this out. $6,000, right? Minus $1,000 for the mounting. $5,000 divided by 3.39. Okay. You open to offers? I'm open to offers. $1,000 a carat. $4,000 for the whole ring. I can't. Why not? I'm not making any money. $4,300. $4,800. I wouldn't do this for anybody else. $4,300. It's abraded. It needs to be repolished. It polishes like $10. Not in Chicago. How about I take it to New York, get it polished, ship it back? Yeah, I'm at $4,500, man. I'm at your cost, unfortunately. $4,800. We're literally $300 off. I know. I just want to make a tiny bit of money on the ring. I know. $4,600, make $100. It's a true flip. We could do $4,700 or flip $4,600, $4,800. Let's flip $4,600 and $4,601. No, no. At my very last, it'd be $4,700. That's where I'm at with it. $4,700. I'm good. We're $100 off. Yeah. Show me something else. Think about it. All right. You know what? **** it. All right. $4,647 flip, but let's do something a little cooler than a flip. $4,647 flip. All right. What else could we do? What kind of challenge could we have? Handstand contest. All right. Deal. What? **** You're here for the show? We're starting. Oh. Three, two, one. Oh, my God. He's going to win. You can do handstands. That's not fair. You didn't ask me. You hustled. Good job. He's a gymnast. I knew it. Do it again. He's a stripper, too. All right. $4,700. Let me sell you something. You like Opals. Dude, I offered you on this ring on FaceTime. What'd you offer? $280 a carat. Why so cheap? No, I actually offered you $400 a carat and told you I wanted to keep it as a personal. You said no, and then I said my offer's expired. How much do you want for it? I want to let you know what gold is. So $19.44. $21.22 of just gold. Five carats. $500 a carat. $2,500 plus $2,000. Quick math. Maybe $3,500. I just bought a ton of Opals. Whatever. And the diamonds, too. We didn't even count that. $4,500. I'll buy it for $4,000 just to do something with you. You want to flip for $4,500? Flip. We can have a challenge of some sort. Who can stare into the UV light longer? Arm wrestle. Yalla. Are you like an arm wrestling champion or something? I'm literally a lefty. Go righty. Oh my god. Are you kidding me? Righty. Go. You're grabbing the table, homie. $4,000. Two flips in a row, I lose. F**k yeah. So, listen. We've got to complete these challenges. Like, buying and selling, that's always kind of the norm, what we have to do at these shows. I try to find good deals, but holy s**t, they're quick. Look at them. You've got to pass them up. I need to find something worth a million dollars and buy something that is not jewelry. Try to find some stuff. Pam! How are you? What do you like in here? These are Burma rubies. Ooh. That one. Really cool. These are carved, huh? Yeah. Hand carved. I'm like Cartier. What is the carving? A pickle. I don't know. I love pickles. If it was a pickle, I actually would have bought it. I know. It's like a leaf. I don't know. It's carved like a lot of Cartier necklaces are. It's a deco piece. There's no signature on it. Now, who would do that? They'd go to all that work and put no signature. So, I mean, this had to be American made by somebody who was very talented, but yet. Ah, okay. I understand. Would do a piece like this and not sign it. Really? That's gorgeous. It was gorgeous. I love it, but not enough to make an offer. Like, you get pieces like this and they're like puzzles. You've got to figure out the puzzle. And why they didn't sign it just to frustrate us. That's gorgeous. This piece is $28,000. Wow. When do you think it was made? I think it's about 1920s, maybe 25, 30 at the latest. Wow. I know. Roaring 20s. It's a nice length. It fits a human. It's crazy to think that a bracelet could last 100 years. If you wear them every day, careless with it, it'll break. People play tennis with their stuff on it. It's like, no way. You treat this like it's royalty. Pam, as always, it's a pleasure. I'm proud of you. Let's find some deals. Take care. So, let's see if we can fulfill the challenge of buying something that's not gems or jewelry. Hey, Avi. Nice to meet you. Let's have a look. Yeah, yeah. Please. I'm just a little penguin guy. I need something that's just like, you know, fun little something. I think it's pewter. It is pewter. What does that mean? No precious metal. Just a cool little cabinet. Yeah. Inexpensive for you. That's a gift. No, I can't accept a gift. Yeah, it's a gift. I need to buy it. You need to buy it. For me, it's happiness. For me, to make somebody happy, that's a gift. Thank you so much. Thank you. Mazel. Yeah. I appreciate it. Michael Hill Auction Gallery. Anything else you want? Yeah, yeah. What else? Film this one. I don't know if it's for your channel. I don't know. It's a little spicy. It comes apart. Editor, blur it out. So. Oh, that is hilarious. All right. Thank you so much. It's been very cool. Penguin guy. I'm so excited. Everybody needs a little bit of a break. And at the end of the day, we all get very tired. Yes. And cranky. And hungry. And so sometimes what I like to do is to help my fellow booth folks with a little pick me up. Oh my God. I'm a great athlete.

Last day of the show, we still have some unfinished business to attend to. One of my goals in this entire trip is to buy something that's not gems or jewelry. I did already get something, but I actually wanted to pay for something different. What's the best price you can do for it? I really wanted the seven. I'll do $650 just to do the business. I'm buying this blind. I don't know anything about it. Can you $400? $600. Last, last, last, last, last. $500. Just so I could feel like I bought something cool. Six. Five. $550. $500. I got to be in the middle of $500. $500. That's all. Okay. Cool. He just bought a Cartier lighter. Does it even work? Oh, it works. That's kind of cool. Now I got to start smoking cigarettes. Watch this. Do you want to buy? What are they? Beautiful Colombian emeralds. F1. Best price. Report. GIA. The finest. How much are they? I'm asking $2,500 per carat. Do you have the one that matches or no? It's a perfect match. 9, 3, 9, 2, 9, 3, 9, 1. It's all within 0.2. Can't even get Melly to match that post. Coming to you live. He wants $2,500 per carat. I'll make it like $2,200 a carat if you want. They're both F1 Colombian. They're on the same stirrer. It is a matched pair. $1,900 a carat. Make it $1,900 a carat. $2,150. Let's make it $1,900 a carat. $2,150. Do you know how dangerous you are to ship back? All right, just to close it out. $1,900 a carat. $2,100. $2,000 a carat? Yes, no. $19. No. $2,000. No. He's tough. $19. Invest in Shiva. Shiva, we're on a mission. That's me. How are you? I want to find something worth $1 million to show the audience. Do you have anything worth a million dollars? One and a half million. Even better. Whoa! These are all natural yellow diamonds. Fancy, intense yellow diamond. Fancy, intense yellow diamonds. Each one is certified, I think, right? Abdussa I say this is take a picture. plus. 1.5 million. Yes. What's the price for me? For you? You get a whisper. Whisper in my ear. Mazel. Thanks for showing me. You're welcome. I guess we just completed the three challenges. Let's wrap up and go home.
