retarded with the "expert" shotgun appraisels


Folks,,,this s 2017! Any schmuck can grab his phone and look up the recent SOLD prices of MASS PRODUCED things on EBAY. This let me call in guy crap is tired and old. Not to mention they're drop jawed wrong half the time.

Case in point! watching a recent episode there's an example of severe under appraisal and over appraisal!

A Chuck Yeager autographed 25th anniversary mailed cover is appraised for $400-600 and they buy it for a lot. Wanna buy the EXACT same one, even with Yeager correcting the "buck"? Well you're in luck! It's one of the most common signed pieces by Yeager! He literally sat there at signings selling that one! nd pretty much the same each time. It goes for $70-80 constantly.

In the very same episode a guy has a Sergio Bustamante Humpty Dumpty! The guy obviously had researcher it because he came pretty close to its modern value. around $1600-2000 what does the "expert" shotgun appraiser value it at? $600 and says Sergios stuff isn't considered art. The guy is making up everything he's saying of the top of his head.

Any idiot can fact check this stuff. Th only time you'd need to call in a guy is when you can't look something up, which is 1-10000

Show is thus useless,,,and worse, grossly inaccurate. Almost criminally so.
