The 1961 Gibson had a special case . Our host was out of his league on that appraisal. Guitar's are tricky. Very good on history of artists and that takes years to learn plus his personality is pleasing and fun . But it's important to do your own research and get other professional opinions. I have enjoyed local appraisal shows that are a fun night out where attendees bring 3 items and have them appraised . This show reminds me of that .

Hasn't anyone ever told this kind man to drop the "uuhmmm"s?

Holy freaking smokes, that vase at 42:20 is absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you so much. I'm a long time bookseller now branching out to collectibles. You are not only knowledgeable but a nice person. That counts

Phillip Melancton was a contemporary of Martin Luther and in fact was his understudy and both were involved in the Reformation so the books presented might be worth another assessment as the reformation changed the face of the professing church and introduced Protestantism into the world.

Very interesting!

The Robert Kush art is gorgeous!

that arts/crafts coralene nippon vase is worth a lot more than $80 today.

Silver overlay prolly 1200-1750 at the right time and place. The tusk would sell for about $120.=150/oz at that size being a legal piece to use for carving up in china, french bronze was nice.

The bronze statue is Dutch. The woman is holding a long "hay fork" actually used to stick clay cooking pots in wood oven. The vase from Odessa is not German but Soviet made to imitate western style. The Soviets promoted collective work instead of individual talents. That's why things like that numbered and not signed. Germans would sign it. Cheers!

I would have been in the back row with stack of 100s. Paying his appraisal price, + on some. Lol

he should have a painting handy to show all the people what a painting is

The copper plate was NOT greek mythology but biblical. The story of the ravens feeding Elijah

1:27:01 is by Robert Emerson Huck.

The salt glazed churn might be a repro. He kept sayin FAIR cuz it was mad at a fair. The bird is incorrect for that period.

Geez . The silver overlay vase was definitely art nouveau, and certainly three times as much worth as he estimated. He lost me after that

The blue white plate is not chinese. it is japanese ... values 25-35$

A very sixties painting with a 1950s date on the front... ha... ha... don't know if I can take much more.

Yeah, he doesn't know what he's talking about. The guy with the chair, first thing he asked the guy was "did they tell you anything about it?" So he can make things up.

Aloha, the blue plate is of Japanese origin........made probably during the Meiji period of Japan. Just an FYI

20th C. repro, but definitely Japanese and not Chinese.

The polish 1200 Zloty is $288.00 USD Dec 1 2016 Way more than I would have thought.

he (appraiser) does everything wrong. He puts the cup on saucer she takes it off like i would. He puts the plate at edge of table. A quick arm gesture upward and that thing would flip like a pancake. When he grabs dish #2 and brings it over the other plate thats a wrong move. Bc if it slips it will fall on the other and break both. Im sure he has broke someones item in the past just by the way he handles things. Also a different table is needed, That one almost broke that older ladies china. The one with the Nippon gravy boats.

I am a guitar dealer and would pay 6K for that epiphone all day long! 1k is awfully low. I wouldn't call that conservative anymore.

Guy is a total fake. Quoted the old guy $1k on an original 1961 that sells for $10k all day long. What a tool.

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I think you are funny when you say to the visitor, 'take it out of the closet enjoy it. It is worth about $30-$50.' I think you try to hide the way you just took away someone's fortune and now they are paupers.

I think musical instruments,in goid condition are always pretty valuabke and a good market for them?!

Can't tell bronze from spelter. Really! I hope you don't charge for these appraisals. It's spelter. The small ivory pieces are easily $2-300 and that tusk would be well over $1000. Way off on the huge piece of silver decorated glass also.

Hello I can't believe his patience he's almost losing them when some of these things abroad in like the car with the dirt inside it she couldn't have taken a hose to it!?! I would quit if I was him! Now I know what I don't want to be is an appraiser.

Do things REALLY have to be worth something to wear them or enjoy them? I dont think so. If i like something, i will show it off.

Mark Moran came to our American Legion club to do one of his events, about a year ago. He charges $15.00/item evaluated. He was rude to people, he barely spent 5 minutes per item, and a good part of that time was spent looking the item up on his computer. He also hadn't shaved, or bothered with his appearance. People were very upset.

SUCH A JOKE. Problem is, in a town of 3,500, your local 'antique expert' does not know real market values. I have actually been to Cannon Falls, what is it two streets long? Cute that you guys had your little event and shared it, but your pricing and so called expertise is so far off it hurts my brain to watch.

i don't want to hear your resume dude....
