Shows like this one, Pawn Stars and Barrett-Jackson ruin it for the average "Joe".
People that have this stuff and watch this show now ask for the "valued" or "sold" price, when in fact their item might not be worth the inflated price as seen on TV.
Case in point, I used to buy up old Ford trucks and parts for minimal amount of money. Well, after Barrett-Jackson hit record prices, all of the rusty junk went up in price. It's like rust is the new gold.
You hit it Right on the Head There!!!!!!!!!!
