I often think about that when people are telling their "I got it at a yard sale" stories on Antiques Roadshow.

Although I really like seeing the puffed up, self important, pseudo-experts deflated when they are told they overpaid for a fake. And not even a good fake.

Those are usually better to see than the folks who didn't know they had a treasure in the attic.

I also don't like the smug guys who know the appraised value of their treasure and don't even have a flutter of excitement over being given a price tag of over $20K.

I still want to see someone freak out over the price and destroy their item. I think that would make ratings. Surely it's happened ...
