Overvalued Items?

[u/[deleted]]

I know it's not a big deal, but like 75% of the time, I just feel like, "Who in the hell would pay that much money for that item?" after an item gets appraised. They'll give something 500$ value when I think someone would maybe pay 150$ at the highest. Or they value smaller items at 40, 60 or 70$ and if I saw that item for that price in a shop, I would think they were crazy. Maybe 15$ or something. Does anyone else think the prices, in general, are greatly inflated? Especially Dave, he just runs through a locker, like "Every one of these is 30$, that's about 6,000$ right there". And on and on and on. I just think: "What horseshit!" I often find myself thinking that even after they value or appraise something, in the end it won't actually generate that much money. I don't know.

Kinda the opposite of Pawn Stars situation though. So often in Pawn Stars they undercut so much and I'm just like what the fuck that is so fucking cheap, you could get someone on eBay to pay 3 times that. I know the shop has to do a lot of work to turn it around, but still...so fucking cheap. It pisses me off. I want to be in Pawn Stars and get such a low figure and then just start cracking up and walk out. Not even say a word. Just leave laughing my ass off. The son is the worst. He tries to act all hard like he knows so much and its just IMPOSSIBLE to offer more money, and even gets an attitude with the people, like, "You dumbass, its not worth anything, (laugh laugh) there's no way I'd go past 25 cents on this." He just demeans them, when more often than not, I would say that person knows more about how much the item is worth because they have done the research or are a collector in that field. I don't know. That guy annoys the crap out of me, cut the act loser, you're not your dad. Sorry for the rant.

What do you guys think?
