The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
I'm watching Antiques Road Show and I find something to be hilarious (besides the fact that I'm watching Antiques Road Show)...
These people are taking this random ass, useless, old crap into these appraisers and I honestly think that most of them believe they're going to get rich by possessing JUNK. This one lady just got told that her "antique" piece of crap was worth $11,000 - $15,000 "at auction" and she started to cry because she was so happy that she "had money now". NO. NO NO NO YOU DON'T!!!
Ok, now I understand that some of this stuff is probably pretty rare and the value of it goes up because of that, but these people think they're automatically rich when their item is appraised. NO. You still have a useless piece of trash which is worth nothing. In order to get these big bucks that they're being promised, they have to find some complete moron to actually dish out a huge wad of cash to pay for their garbage, which, statistically almost neeeeever happens.
If someone walked into my apartment and said to me, "You know, that wooden table that your computer is sitting on is a rare antique Joseph Mahall, hand carved coffee table which, 'at auction', is worth anywhere between $23,000 - $26,000", I'd laugh in their face and then call the police.
