As seen on this "Pawn Stars" episode from Season 4, the seller, Daniel, brought in his 1800s antique ring gun to Rick with the intention of selling it for $9,000, but with the help of Rick's gun expert friend Tony, that's not how things played out. The ring gun can fire six rounds, uses pinfire 4mm ammunition, and is considered one of the smallest killing devices ever invented. Ring guns are worth anywhere from $4,000 to $6,000, but with the ammunition included, they can be worth much higher, according to Tony.

After their conversation with the expert, Rick offers the seller $3,000 for the ring gun, which Daniel immediately laughs off. The seller stands by his initial offer of $9,000 and says that this gun is exceedingly rare and in great condition. Rick seems to be very intrigued by the piece and decides to take a risk and offers $7,000. The seller then counters at $8,500, which Rick had to refuse. All in all, the seller walked away with his pockets empty but with his rare firearm still in hand.
