Yeah, if I could only get back the hours I’ve spent explaining to dozens of people the difference between what something is supposedly “worth” and what they can actually get for it.
And in part of the process, trying to explain that Aunt Ethel’s necklace wasn’t really 1000 year old jade if it melted, … and that silver-plated cigarette lighter couldn’t have been been in their family for 400 years.
And Revolutionary War muskets don’t say “Made in India” no matter what Uncle Ralph said about his grandfather buying it from a trading ship..
(Except for the names, those are actual true examples from my experience.)
