I know that the world is not overflowing with overly educated people but if someone walks into a pawn shop with an item that is supposed to have great value why would you be in a pawn shop in the first place? Why not take your 'treasure' to Sotheby's or Christie's, put a well researched reserve on it, pay your fees and commissions and then let the chips land where they will. Whoops! Forgot it's a reality TV show. Staged reality isn't reality but for some reason these scripted shows remain popular with the viewing audiences. Has anyone ever wondered why a film crew just happens to be at the shop when someone walks in with Babe Ruth's underwear and wants to sell it? I can't help but wonder why "reality TV" is taking so long to go away??
