Alex was very excited to handle the guns. He explained that volley pistols were used for crowd control, and these guns had been certified by the 18th-century British government as safe to use — they weren't going to blow up in anyone's hand. Since it was Chum's deal, he got to fire at the targets first, followed by Corey. All four of Corey's shots hit marks, while Chum only hit one (via YouTube).
Corey asked Alex what the guns were worth. "They're the real deal," Alex answered. "They're rare, they're really early by a known maker, and they fire. These are not inexpensive pistols. I value them at $45,000." Alex wanted the shop to buy them, because they may not ever see guns like these again. Chris still wanted $50,000, but Corey countered with $20,000. Chris came back with $40,000. Corey said $30,000 was the most he could do. He wouldn't do $35,000. Chris couldn't take anything less than that, so the deal fell through.
"I wasn't able to make a deal today with the volley pistols, but I think that I'm gonna have to fend off a whole crowd of buyers once I get them back out there," Chris said.
