Ep 26. Secret Admirer

In Pawn Stars season 10 episode 26, titled Secret Admirer, the pawn shop receives an intriguing item that belonged to a legendary celebrity. The team is thrilled to see a signed guitar from the iconic rock and roll musician Jimi Hendrix. The beautiful acoustic guitar was gifted by Jimi Hendrix to one of his closest friends and bandmates, Noel Redding, with a sweet message that says "To my white brother, Happy Xmas, Jimi Hendrix." Noel's estate has decided to part with the guitar and is hoping to get a good price for the rare and precious item.

The team at the pawn shop is excited to authenticate the item and determine its value. Rick, the owner of the pawn shop, calls an expert to take a closer look at the guitar. They examine the features and then check for any damage or repairs on the guitar. After a thorough assessment, the expert shares some surprising news - the guitar has an estimated value of over $200,000.

The team is elated with the news and quickly starts to negotiate with the seller. However, the negotiation process is not easy, as the seller is reluctant to part with the guitar that has been in the family for generations. They reveal that the guitar was gifted from Noel Redding's family to a secret admirer who was a big fan of Jimi Hendrix's music. This leads to speculation that there could be a hidden message or significance to the guitar that isn't apparent at first glance.

As the negotiations continue, Rick takes a gamble and offers a price that he believes is fair to the seller. After some back and forth, the seller agrees to the deal, and Rick is now the proud owner of a Jimi Hendrix-signed guitar.

Meanwhile, Chumlee, one of the pawnshop employees, is keen on buying a vintage popcorn machine for his own personal collection. He finds an old machine that he believes is a steal and starts to negotiate with the seller. However, the seller is quite eccentric and not willing to budge on the price, causing Chumlee to become frustrated. Will he be able to strike a deal and add the popcorn machine to his collection?

Lastly, Rick is excited about a piece of American history. He has the opportunity to purchase a Civil War-era naval pistol that is believed to be one of the rarest pieces. The pistol was used on the Confederate Ship, and the inscription on it suggests that it was owned by a high-ranking military officer. Rick is fascinated by the history behind the item and wants to add it to his personal collection. Will he be able to negotiate a fair price and add the piece to his collection?
