Things are only worth what someone is willing to pay ...I watch that antique road show and have had a few items as shown on there...they say are worth..big bucks...but ever try to sell?.. now this I have found out..I tend to sell items too cheap and I think that raises an alarm figuring must be something wrong with it.(put high tag on junk items)..a swimming pool once in yard..gave away 'free'..not one bite for a few months....then put up add for same pool...$500 and was gone in a week..just never know what people want I guess...I have had a ton of civil war (original front page 1865 news papers etc), WWII items etc etc..for sale over the past few months and only bites I have had are the scammers that want to send ya big check and have you send the rest of the money for shipping to another addy..yea right...I could not even give away book after book of original WWII newspapers and books etc..wanted to donate....nope...had to rid of them ..original GI handbooks etc..not a bite and not a soul interested here..so off to dump they all went..(just not enough room to keep everything)
off track a tad but again...be surprised what people buy..junk, broken watches at yard sale..gone ..but the working ones..still have..
