“Wait...you mean those guys on Pawn Stars don’t really buy genuine samurai swords made by a 16th century master swordsmith and engraved with the Tokugawa seal for a couple of hundred bucks???”
Even after the seller hears an expert say its worth $5000.
And the experts they use for appraisals are fake, as well.
That married couple on Storage Wars found a $20 blow torch and took it to an 'appraiser' (in an totally unrelated field), who promptly proclaimed it to be worth $500!!!!!!!!
Nearly all blow torches are shite, suitable for the play at home version of The Three Stooges, but some are worth a lot of money. I sold one on ebay (years ago) for around $1500.00.
Guess you never heard of overhead or cost of doing business.
I've been in the shop, you?
