"I mean, we see a lot of things come through these doors โ Roman coins, Babe Ruth's autographed socks, even a mummified cat once โ but a full-blown socialist revolution in the West? That's, uh, that's a new one."
He turned to Chumlee, who was intently picking something out from under his fingernail. "Chumlee, what do you think? Think we can make a deal on this guy's... aspirations?"
Chumlee finally looked up, blinking. "Hmm? Oh, right. Uh, well, Rick, I dunno. I was kinda hoping for a new Xbox. And, like, a lifetime supply of hotdogs. Does socialism come with hotdogs?"
Rick sighed, turning back to the customer. "See, that's the thing. We usually deal in tangible assets. Something we can put on a shelf, or at least Google the value of. A socialist government, while perhaps conceptually interesting, doesn't exactly fit our usual inventory. And, frankly, our insurance policy doesn't cover 'societal upheaval.'"
He paused, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Tell you what, though. I've got a buddy who's a political science professor. He might be interested in hearing about your proposition. Best I can do is a five-dollar gift card to the hotdog stand next door. For Chumlee, of course."
