It is sad that the elderly couple lost out on a big chunk of money, but I tend to agree the point of view of the dealer. I doubt he had any clue of the final value either, initially. It doesn&#039;t sound like the couple were asking for an in-depth appraisal, they were trying to get someone to do a cleanout and earn some quick cash. The dealer should benefit monetarily if they are digging around a bunch of junk and stumble upon a gem in the rough using their decades of knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
