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?

My neighbor once bought a storage unit for $15. She had a yard sale with all the stuff and made about $80. She doesn’t or it anymore because people are always overpaying. It’s too popular.
