The people you say took shots at the segment also noted how cool the items were. The story got some heavy circulation tonight and it was due to the price, not the items. If these pieces did go up for auction and someone considered investing in them, wouldn't it be nice for them to know what the actual value is? As it stands without knowing any better, someone could see a "million dollar collection" going for only 20% what the tv said it was worth and think they are getting the steal of the century.

I honestly don't think one person here would say it's no big deal, but at the same time everyone now gets a lesson in what they are and their value.
