The seller later sold the guitar at an auction and got around 1.2 million.

Didn't expect that last shot from Rick in the end. He really wanted the guitar.

[judahsamaria]

One of the smartest guys who walked into a shop. He stood firm and did not cave in.

I’m glad Rick didn’t get his hands on it. That belongs in a museum! It’s a part of history. Shouldn’t be sitting in a pawn shop in the sleazy part of Vegas for a year as Rick states it would be.

Now this guy was a really perfect example of someone who knows their values. He came in asking a fair price and walked for anything less.

“I take all the risk” no Rick you are taking no risk, it’s Jimmy Hendrix’s guitar

”Best I can do is 2 cents and an old chipped shirt button”

I know the show is on the history channel, so I get it. But I do love when Rick delivers his monologues on the items to the sellers and they just nod along, acting like this is new information to them 😂

[wecandobetter]

I loved this dude. He knows what he has, what it’s worth and stood his ground. The longer he holds onto it the more valuable it will become. Good job sir👍👍👍👍👍

So glad to see that the seller stood his ground and didn't take Rick's offer. Even $600k was a low-ball offer and Rick knew it.

The reaction on Ricks face, PRICELESS.

[bajorekjon]

I would never sell that guitar. It's truely a priceless piece of music history.

[shawnkelly]

Rick's 1st offer of 400, 000 was an insult especially after Jesse appraised it for possibly up to 1 million at auction. That's absolutely amazing jimi Hendrix played that guitar. Anybody would be lucky to own a piece of history like that.

[tenbroeck]

I'm such a fan of Jimi Hendrix. I love how Rick was really awestruck, without losing his bearings. When dude plugged her in and started playing, it was like a hint of Jimi filled the store. Insane. A little bit of Jimi's sweat and DNA is still on/it that guitar.

[alangriggs]

I have seen one of Jimi's guitars in a private collection. Given by Jimi's dad to a bodyguard as a thank you. It was BEAUTIFUL.

[fnvnoip]

For me it’s a dream to one day be like him. Jimi Hendrix is my idol.

[robertbachman]

I'm glad this guy stood his ground, He has a piece of history that should not be treated some peoples

[groovyhighway]

6:47 CLASSIC. "You want to come to a fair point in selling something of great value, dont be desperate about it... and that, I am not."

[woverby]

One of coolest things ive seen, id be so pumped to hold that guitar and i dont even play guitar, I just think Hendrix was the greatest to ever pick one up.

[LuisLopez-nbrh]

This dude stood his ground knew the value of the guitar good job bro
