Glad to hear that most of you will not be watching the further adventures of these con artists.
I guess I shouldn't be as upset as I am but this just takes the cake!
The fact that they don't add a disclaimer is wrong and shouldn't be allowed.
Still not sure exactly why it has me so hopping mad but I know I'll be fumin' over this for a while.Chalwa AKA The Pre-Crisis Chris

When I am grown to man's estate,
I shall be very proud and great.
And tell the other girls and boys,
not to meddle with my toys.

I usually just lurk but I felt I needed to comment on this. I caught the rerun tonight.
I don't know what is worse - the 'fakeness' of the episode, or that fact that not only were valuable megos featured, but a fellow collector was involved in this "deception".
Gee, I hope whatever he was paid by the network for his involvement and silence,er "non-discloser" was worth it.

I almost understand the outrage here, but all “reality” shows are like this. Real actors & writers need to be paid. The “reality” part of this show is folks who are more than willing to sell themselves short and delude themselves into thinking they will have their “story told” are a dime a dozen. This stuff became popular during the 2007-2008 writer’s strike since TV excecs could care less about paying creators what they are worth. So they make this stuff to circumvent that little thing and they win. All reality shows are like this. The only show I trust for stuff like this is “Antiques Roadshow” since it’s the only show where real people come in and get their real stuff assessed by real experts. Past that show, it’s all staged drama and nonsense.Comment

That's, of course, not to say anything against any of those appraisers or auctioneers - most of whom are well-versed in their trade, and many of whom are legitimately nice guys. But if you watch earlier seasons before it became popular and more recent seasons, you'll see a big change between what happens at a real appraisal, and what gets played up for the cameras.
Still, I find myself yelling at the TV a lot less on that one than most of the others.Join us Live at our next live-Auction event! and bid on all your favorite toys! Real Auctions. Real Auctioneers. Real Great deals on the Toys You Want!Comment
