  • RICK HARRISON: Hey, how's it going?

  • DENNIS: Pretty good.

  • How are you doing?

  • All right.

  • You are?

  • What proof do you have that you're doing all right?

  • Nothing besides a smile.

  • Well, that's good.

  • Because that's good proof there.

  • So--

  • What do you have?

  • We have got a journal of notes that Hunter Thompson used on

  • his book "Songs of the Doomed."

  • So this is a journal that was Hunter S. Thompson's?

  • Yeah.

  • COREY HARRISON: Wow.

  • There will never, ever, ever be another guy like him.

  • He is absolutely brilliant.

  • But at times, he could be crazy.

  • Brilliance and crazy sort of go hand-in-hand sometimes.

  • Yeah.

  • [laughter]

  • DENNIS: I have a journal written by Hunter Thompson.

  • Hunter liked hanging out with lawyers.

  • We weren't buddies.

  • We would go to a lot of the same events.

  • We were fun to drink with.

  • RICK HARRISON: So where did you get this?

  • A client brought it to me--

  • OK.

  • --who knew my history with him.

  • RICK HARRISON: You're friends with him?

  • Or--

  • Well, this is the radical '60s.

  • And Hunter had this thing for radical lawyers.

  • And he hung out with a bunch of us.

  • Because you don't look Samoan.

  • [laughter]

  • "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" was probably

  • what he's most famous for.

  • It's one of those movies you have

  • to watch three or four times.

  • OK, so these are your notes from "Songs of the Doomed,

  • Gonzo Papers, Volume 3."

  • DENNIS: Those are his notes.

  • What it does is it signifies how he puts his writing

  • together with random thoughts.

  • COREY HARRISON: He was known for that.

  • He would make up random thoughts,

  • and then he would go through his notes,

  • and then he would just kind of cut and paste his own notes

  • to make his books.

  • DENNIS: Yeah, he had a lot of random thoughts.

  • RICK HARRISON: Yeah, I mean, this thing

  • has everything in it.

  • I mean, it has, like, his little artwork there.

  • It has-- COREY HARRISON: Phone numbers.

  • RICK HARRISON: --phone numbers.

  • It has news articles pasted in here.

  • Part of this is his writing, and part of this is dictation.

  • And all this stuff is pretty random.

  • This could be a journey just interpreting all this.

  • COREY HARRISON: The guy was an absolute lunatic.

  • Now, there's where I gotta disagree.

  • He is probably one of the brightest people I've ever met.

  • RICK HARRISON: This is an important work right here.

  • He created a genre of reporting.

  • Gonzo journalism is not just reporting it,

  • but actually getting into it, and living it,

  • and understanding it.

  • So how much do you want for this?

  • DENNIS: Well, I was first thinking around $50,000.

  • But frankly, I think I underestimated its value.

  • I think at least $100,000.

  • OK, I am going to call someone and take a look at this, OK?

  • We'll get him down here.

  • He'll go through it, just to make

  • sure how much is Thompson, how much is an assistant,

  • and another people, OK?

  • We'll go from there.

  • That's all I can say.

  • It's definitely odd.

  • So this is what I called you about, the journal

  • of Hunter S. Thompson.

  • Awesome.

  • There was our reality and then his reality, right?

  • I mean, he was kind of out there.

  • But he was a cool dude.

  • And his autograph still sells for pretty good money,

  • believe it or not.

  • You know, seeing something like this,

  • obviously, is pretty unique.

  • I was excited to take a look at this.

  • And obviously, you have concerns,

  • Rick, because, you know, did Hunter

  • S. Thompson actually do this?

  • I have some examples that I brought with me today,

  • because his writing was just so kind of-- it was kind of him.

  • Big writing, kind of all over the place.

  • You know, I've seen some random artwork here.

  • It's hard to say if he drew that or someone else, you know?

  • I see stuff here and there.

  • But this is obviously-- none of this stuff

  • would be his writing.

  • So it's kind of all over the board here.

  • This is definitely not his writing.

  • It's too neat and concise.

  • Yeah, so what do you think this thing

  • would go for at auction?

  • STEVE GRAD: I could see something like this selling

  • to the right person.

  • It's limited writing.

  • It was his, but it's also limited.

  • So you have about 85% comprised of other people writing.

  • So that does take the value down.

  • It's still historically significant.

  • But the value is probably right in that $20,000 to $25,000.

  • No doubt about it. - Good to see you, man.

  • - Thanks, man. - Yep.

  • - Good man. - Yep.

  • Nice to meet you.

  • Take care.

  • Yep, good luck.

  • RICK HARRISON: OK, you know 10 times as much as I do about it.

  • So I'm going to leave this one to you.

  • All right, thanks, Dad.

  • Coward.

  • [laughs]

  • You were asking for 100 grand.

  • Yeah.

  • You know, you got a more realistic number in mind?

  • Well, probably not.

  • Because I'm using it to write for some of my own stuff.

  • OK, because I will offer you $20,000 right now.

  • Oh, no, we can't go that low.

  • Well, if that's the case, my man, if you want to bring

  • it back one day, please do.

  • All right, thank you.

  • Take care.

  • DENNIS: We weren't able to make a sale today.

  • But it was an invaluable learning experience for me.

  • I think as long as there's some interest in it

  • and it's got some scholarly value,

  • that $20,000 is way under what I would suggest

  • would be the value.

RICK HARRISON: Hey, how's it going?
