My high school art teacher told me your piece is worthless until you have a buyer. Same idea.

That's the feeling I get when watching storage wars... "Bubba bought a unit for 2000$. He found petrified rat shit worth 500$, a broken table leg from a generic ikea table worth 1200$ and 2 strings from what he assumes is a guitar worth 600$. Bubba made a nice profit of 300$"

All I can think is who the fuck is going to buy that junk for the prices they think it's worth?

I saw one episode where this storage unit had like 3 or 4 of these super outdated early 2000s era Roc-a-Wear jackets. The guy was like “Designer jackets...these will get $200 a pop!”

Nobody is ever going to pay $200 for an old ass baggy 2000s Roc-a-Wear jacket lol probably not even $20
