If that was in my family for 90 years and was still working, I would have stored it for the next generation to come along. It should be kept as a family heirloom. Hard to believe that people will pawn off so much family history.
Wouldn't help to keep it indefinetely when the guy and family doesn't even have enough space in their house to store and play it. What good would it be if the toy would only be eventually rusted and wasted because they can't do a proper maintenance.

I always thought it was a sales technique, usually big items or items you have to setup they can buy for cheap because no one wants to disassemble it lol
I would easily buy this set for 1500$ I am attached to it even more than he did! So classic and aged so well! It is just a dream! So relaxing and beautiful!
Being a Lionel collector there are few things that I agree with and disagree with this clip. One, they should not have split the set. As a collector, I am looking for a complete set because it makes the set be more valuable in the long run. Also, that is primarily what standard gauge is known for. Two, the price was moderate. Yes, it is not a rare set, they have to make money, and the condition was rough, but I think at $1,000 there would have been a big enough resale margin. Overall, I would have paid for what the seller was asking and even ask if the accessories were for sale as well. In particular, the street lamp. Original street lamps from 1923 are extremely rare and go for crazy prices. In the end, I think this was a moderate deal, better than others, but I'm only voicing my opinion from a collectors vew point.
At 5:24 you can really see how that guy is back in his childhood 😀😁 really cute, everyone should let the kid in him out ones in a while... People stay young that way
I can understand his reasons.... He probably didn't have anybody who wanted it and he did the right thing keeping the set together. Hopefully sombody will learn to love it again
Very nice Lionel prewar train set... I think Johnny Jimenez was a little on the lower end on his appraisal but the ole guy had no complaints... Well done... Stay safe guys...👍💕🔥⚾😷
Wanna sell it at a pawn shop? I mean, there are a lot of fake 92 year olds out there, do you mind i call in a free expert that lives around the corner?
a customer got a heart attack, so can you call 911 rick? Rick: first i want to call a friend who's a paramedic to see it it's fake or not and when i's for real then 9 is all i can do.
My dad has that same train set but it has the original orange paint. Bailey played with been in a box rapped up for 60 plus years cool to see it on pawn stars.

It is likely. It will be better paid on a train show in Vegas easily. It is all in working condition and if he really has the original boxes. It is not that hard to estimate the value of that train set.Greenberg publishes each year a Pocket Price Guide for Lionel Trains from 1901 to this date.

@@masonmillar2350 I've looked it up before. They definitely work at the store. The old man is one of the owners. They do make the deals before, offscreen. What we see are basically scripted reenactments of the deals. They add drama and extra dialogue to make it more interesting. But the deals are real. According to what I read according to Nevada law they cannot film the actual deals being made.
Despite the experts opinion i think Corey got a great deal. Some restoration work would make the train set pop. I would have paid $1,000 or more. The train set is cool.
@Bill Chisholm odds are probably not... also at an auction you have to pay to to put it in the auction as well as other fees and taxes so after all is said and done he would have ended up getting wayyyy less
Beautiful and very beautiful show. I wish you health, peace, success and progress in your wonderful work. Greetings to all. With great thanks and respect.
Lionel trains especially the older ones are well built and with good care will run almost forever. This one was in excellent condition and I am sure someone who collects Lionel trains will want to buy it.
Chum really erkk’d me when he couldn’t even lend a helping hand to the old man build an entire train set,, I’m satisfied knowing Chum had to disassemble the set afterwards.(hopefully by himself with no help). How lazy can a fat f*** be? Great ending tho.
I have a double Lionel set and the same engine but not the coaches and I have a little later model of them but everything on it works even the liquid and spot to put the steam for the other engines it’s amazing how much it’s been through and how good condition it’s still in
It’s easy to know the value of that train set. Greenberg publishes each year the Lionel Pocket Price Guide, with prices on trains from 1901 to this date.....
THIS. I grew up in the 80s and was blessed with a dad that loved his old Lionel trains, and he worked on the railroad. So, this type of stuff was a big part of my life. Still is. The railway industry put food on our table and clothes on our back, and to have toys that represented the real thing, were fun to play with and even worked with my GI Joe stuff....it was just a lot of fun. I miss these old toys, that time, my dad....all of it. I would have give that guy a couple of thousand bucks for that particular set. It appeared to be a nice one.
As someone who inherited a large Lionel collection I can tell you that the market is literally dying away. Whatever you could sell it for 10 years ago isn't what it's worth now. People don't collect things (maybe other than sports memorabilia and cards). Large items like o-guage trains and accessories are depreciating quickly.
I cried after watching this. They had no respect for the sentimental values. He bargained for $50 =90 years behind with full functional train..it reminds me when I had to sell my most valuable loveable items for a dirt when I didn’t have a job and feed four kids snd pay rent...it was just shameful time. The worst part was that I went to pawn shop owned by my friend to whom I always invited them at home and when I went to sell my most valuable items he literally offered pennies. That night I cried so much.
I wouldn't give it to a shop who is just gonna sell it separately. If I was him, would give to my kid or grandkid who wants to keep it or use it. I can trust them better with it than anyone. It's a beautiful set that I would hate seeing go to waste.

I hate cheapo-bad jokes-Rick. I’m glad he’s not here.

Rick has to re-sell what he buys. If he pays retail prices, his business will fail.
