Child Swan Sleigh | Extraordinary Finds | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW | PBS 

you really don't get enough from the original shows. You're left wondering more about what could happen or what happened after things were appraised. I really like hearing the stories from both sides long after the fact too.

Deadpan 😂😂😂

It’s Skeletor ! Hehehe .

😅

absolutely not worth $300

so did I

And me!

😂😂🤔😧

Yes, the guy is an idiot for paying $40,000 for that sled.

@@EPA18 I mean, if he had the money and this is what he likes, more power to him. I collect antiques myself and I just couldn't live with myself if i spent that much on one thing. I would literally stare at it everyday and say to myself "40k I spent on that. I could've paid some bills, made a mortgage payment, etc."

Thank you for keeping it alive ;)

and the other lady only paid $35!!!!

@@EPA18 Totally, since it's now valued at double. Terrible investment. 🙄

the best time was around the point where they almost went bankrupt 1996. People told me how stupid it was to buy them then...they'd be out of business in a year. I should have stuck to my own ideas.

@@markinnes4264 I have an old Apple magazine (InCider, maybe) in which an inside back page or inside back cover has a bunch of quotations by respected people in the tech world. A couple I remember well enough to paraphrase: "Apple is really a software company. They should get rid of their hardware operation." and "Apple should merge with AT&T." That type of thing. Yes, we all should have bought shares. I did and when the price increased enough I took out my original investment . . . in case it tumbled. How does that bible saying go? Oh, ye of little faith.

Maybe he did. I mean, I had enough for a 40k swan.

Now if you had invested in a video rental store in 1985…..well, who rents videotapes now?

Don't remind us lol.😅 I lived in palo alto , had a friend saw grab ebay stock. met Steve Wozniak . Heavens going to tell me I sent the boat , I sent the helicopter, I sent the raft lol😅 . My freinf even asked him any inside tips and I went blank was even in the Apple Families home. But I do have a retirement chair from John Packard

@carls 1000 It took your mom to tell you that? You couldn't figure that on your own in a much less amount of time being an antique dealer?😂

@@danacaro-herman3530 Mom told me that when I was 5 years old, I wasn't dealing in antiques at the time. If you feel the need to be a smartass at least understand the comment you feel so compelled to reply to.

@@carls.1000 I did reply, relax Carl it was in good fun!

30 years, and it is worth 250% of what he paid for it. That is not a terrible investment, especially if you've had it in your living room, enjoying it every day for those 30 years! :)

No his is double the size of the one that was valued 20 to 30k at the show. he said his is now valued approximately 100k.

"ROSEBUD" 🛷

Sorry, but Citizen Kane has no place here.

😉 Do a little research and realize what that particular MacGuffin was actually referring to🤮...

well was it? xd

@@daleHarrison93 No one knows where they are!! We couldn't find them!!! 😞😞😞

@jwb935 But they wouldn't be the same size: he explained that her's was a sleigh for kids, his is the "for adults" version. So next to each other, they would look like parent and child.

"Rosebud" in Citizen Kane - but it wasn't a swan.

I've watched AR forever and I have to agree with you on this one. I feel like it's generally unacceptable for someone to appraise an object knowing they own one as well, which can only help the value of their version. While someone may have been willing to pay that for it, I think the actual value in an auction would fall far, far short of his 100k estimate. Probably around 10% of what he appraised it for. He used the second example from the show as a way to reinforce what he paid, which was a pretty crazy price.

yea... grand parents sell everything for the kids and the grand kids will never give them the time of day when they're in the nursing home. The kids would learn more by working for it.

Rick Harrison, is that you?

I haven't seen him sledding around Unionville😊

You sound a little bitter?

it's how Arts market works. If acouple of douche in a museum or auction house have decided a dump is worth hundreds of thousands, then so be it ....

Hit the ground running:: The lesson of coulda, woulda, shoulda & how they don’t count, aye?

in 2009-2010 i got offered £3400 worth of bitcoin by a friend...when it was £12 per bitcoin so that would of been arorund 280 bitcoin. instead i was buying stupid cars... them 280 bitcoins are now worth over 15.5million.

I thought the same initially, but as he mentioned it was around half the size of his own (not to mention he implied he paid over the 'actual value'). That said I agree with you that his valuations are inherently screwy/suspect (when you personally own half the market of a commodity you shouldnt be involved in "impartially" evaluating the value of that market).

@@cameronjames3499 He told us he discovered the dealer he bought his sledge from had paid only a fraction for it before he brought it across the country specifically to offer it to him: so the other guy clearly had his measure. What's it worth? As much as ONE person is willing to pay for it. If the "mark" is a wealthy aesthete, that value must depend on the quality of the lunch he just had. With a supply of one, and a demand of one, there's not much of a "commodity market."

At 4:17, he said his was about twice the size of hers. So he didn't undervalue hers...they weren't the same size

The appraiser just wants it to be worth what he paid for it. It’s a cool old sled. Maybe $2,500-$5,000? That’s it.

@@drinny26 Something is worth as much as someone will pay for it. There are some very wealthy folk art collectors/collections out there. It's important to keep that in mind. Appraising something at 40k doesn't mean there are thousands of people out there who would pay 40k. It just means that there's enough demand to get that price, even if that demand is a relatively niche market.

Yes, hopefully they earned a degree where they can make a decent living. How many people with college degrees actually end up using it.

@@RonGee No worries no one will have to pay college loans for education now that Dems are in. Everyone WILL have a degree AND get a stiprnd for not working. Win win.
