Pawn Stars had a lot of high-ticket buys and sales over the years, and the reality show became an international hit. It airs in over 200 countries and territories, and here we'll talk about the most expensive things ever bought on Pawn Stars.

Maurice Sendak Sketches

Price Tag: $250,000 It appeared in Can't Pawn Me Love (Season 15), and in this episode, Rick Harrison purchased original Maurice Sendak sketches for Where the Wild Things Are. Once valued by an art expert at $310,000, these one-of-a-kind sketches were allegedly never sold as reproductions. Rick ultimately forked over $250,000 for the purchase following some negotiation, and it remains one of Pawn Stars' most expensive items ever.

George Washington’s Suit

Price Tag: $2.5 million A suit worn by the first President of America, George Washington this silk suit was handed over to Rick Harrison with a starting bid of $3 million. The price eventually fell to $2.5 million, but Rick still couldn't pull the trigger and fork it over.

The OJ Simpson Car Chase Car

Price Tag: $1.25 million Someone brought the real white Ford Bronco, and they asked Rick Harrison for a cool $1.25 million to get it from them; this particular one was used by OJ Simpson in his famous televised car chase! Even though the car is historically significant, Rick had to decline due to its morbid origins and high asking price.

The Beatles Contract

Price Tag: $1,000,000 This is the original contract between The Beatles and their manager Brian Epstein in December 1962 that was brought into the pawn shop. Even with the artifact as a historic item, Rick Harrison hung up on it when he was offered for just over $1 million.

Robosaurus

Price Tag: $1 million A 30-ton giant killer robot, Robosaurus was offered to the team at their pawn shop for a whopping $1m. The shop owners passed on the item even though it was uniquely interesting.

Wildly, Pawn Stars still largely comes down to the evaluation and negotiation of expensive items. It wasn't cheap for the show to get its hands on Maurice Sendak sketches of Where the Wild Things Are

, likely costing more than any purchase in Pawn Stars history and underscoring all that can go through those doors at Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.
