18th Century French Orbit Clock | Vintage Miami Preview 

checking us dollar inflation from 1970 -> 2001 when this was filmed, that 10k is equivalent to 45.618 dollars... so only 30% value increase.

Yea most people don’t do much or leave nothing showing they were here… At least he left something of his life’s work.

thanks bro, but that was already in the video. You're that guy that has to feel important by telling us stuff we don't care to hear or already know.

This was an old recording from 2001 - no smartphones even digital cameras were a luxury item at the time

@@mesicek7 that’s a good point.

@@mesicek7 How about normal pictures?

​@@PAR0812 Then if you don't have an instant polaroid you have to take it somewhere to get developed which you might wait two weeks for

@@SoftBreadSoftware We always did that - no problem.

I mean... Something consistently holding it's value for fifty years is great too. Currency fluctuates a lot, so does gold, stocks, virtually everything else. If they'd put £6,000 in a bank account there's always the temptation to spend it. You can't spend a clock.

You're kind of being a nudge.

She was lying. Just like claiming to be an art collector.

You’re assuming they bought the clock as an investment. And you’re ignoring the fact that she enjoyed it for 30 years.

The guy just said it could be up to twice that number with the full set. That's $120K.

LMAO. Nice one.

Lol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T4MjXFV3q_I.html 🤣

LOL

If she wanted a half a million, find a navajo indian's chief's blanket like the guy had on the west coast!

@@ce9345 She's not humble or decent enough.

Yeah, I don't think she's made any money on the deal... 🤪

She must be fabulously rich to be buying art souvenirs like that.

it's the best country in europe.

@@IIIIIIII I think you mean worst

As the younger generations of poorly dressed and cynical people take our place, these things will soon have no value at all.

@@Valkonnen you're the only one who sounds cynical with that comment

@Sergio Romero Vizuete lol, that's not why the London house prices are so insane. It's because of the russians and other exceedingly rich foreigners buying them to launder money.

No, your grandparents just wanted to sound rich saying the money back then was soo much more, and then you google it to find out arounds today's value, and oh boi not that impressive afterall :D

@@daleHarrison93 oh shut up, you muppet!

@@mats7492 Tyson is right shut up dipshit.

@@mats7492 yep he's right.

She had just sent the Kodachrome to the photo lab, and it was going to be a week before the pictures were developed and ready. [kinda joking--but, I'm an old guy, and I can remember the "good 'ole days" before anyone/everyone had a smartphone with a decent camera...]

That value was 20 years ago

It lost value even by 2001 standards.

They probably were all ready multi millionaires in the 1970"s which is why they would spend 10k on this clock and not think twice?

What do you mean!”?

Atleast 4 cars

Could have bought a nice house.

Could have bought a really nice pair of shoes 🤣

And today $60K can only buy one.

@@davidp8627 I'm 100% sure that there are cars that are cheaper than 60k dollars brand new...

SwAggY P idiot

Tess Woodard paid off now though!

not really, when you factor in inflation

Lawrence considering the inflation 6k in 70 are 60k now 6k in 75 are 35k now 6k in 79 are 25k now so maybe she lost or earnerd a little some money depends on when of the 70'

@Steven Hickman have you used the inflation calculator for USD?

Not really, if the other items are as described, he said it will double the price minimum so actually the set is worth $120k at least... People really care too much about inflation, if I put £6k into a bank and in 30 years it was £120k, I'd consider myself in profit.

Was my first thought too haha. Whenever I see these clocks I imagine a large home in the country with huge chandeliers and gold furnishings

The home of Hyacinth Bucket was burglarized at about that time.

@@bentleyr00d *burgled

It's a clock, not some sort of soul jar. No one died making this.

@@carlotta4thif it’s true that it’s made of mercury and gold then yes someone certainly died young after making this

What gets me is she spent enough to buy 2 new cars back in the day but can't remember what she paid. I hate when Peole come on here with a magnificent piece anf can't remember what they paid Is it an issue of age, or where her and old man were really loaded and this princely sum was a mere pittance to them. I'll never forget as long as I live what I paid for my newspaper route bike at age 12 after saving up my tips... 18 dollas from the old guy who ran tge bike shop gave me a deal down from 25. Or perhaps it was way too exorbitant and they conditioned themselves not think about it

She said it was a clock, are you stupid or just like to bitch and moan?

@@1BobsYourUncle Happy Christmas to you, too

Many gigolos.

You might be the most pathetic person I've ever seen on the internet

And, how is your good opinion of any consequence?

At a garage sale/yard sale🤣

@@au1317 and your not a pathetic person 🤣🍺have a drink on me and quit been so judgemental🤣

I kno, right? And the worst part is the old man haf to look at it on the mantel for nearly 40 years... and equally hideous (I'm sure) candelabres too

Trashy comment from a trashy person. Probably would look great in your double-wide.

wow, so cynical and lacking taste. not everything has to be minimalistic bland garbage. the amount of care and effort that went into piece like this is almost unparalleled, how on earth would this be considered junk? get off antiques roadshow if you’re so appalled by items like this

£6000 in the 1970s was an enormous amount of money, possibly the equivalent of $50,000 or more in today's dollars. The appraisal in the video indicates it lost a lot of value, or they got ripped off. Serves them right!

You have a lot of time on your hands to come back repeatedly to comment on a clock, hope things are going better for you

Shove that dimwitted nonsense right back up your pathetic twat until you can come up with something containing actual humor.

I’m English, so yes, of course I am an expert on matters of culture and taste.

@@nathanielberkeley-biggs2855 🤦‍♂️

Aka Home Acc What cultured language.

@@nathanielberkeley-biggs2855see you harkening back to your imperial mindset and ways. 🤓🤓🤓you’re a pure bred english chap finer that the cocaine you sniff before your weekly commute to this video, with a circle for a family tree. quit being so proud and get better x
