A guy living on $800/month realizes that he might have something valuable on his hands after seeing a similar item on Antiques Roadshow.

I often don’t understand why people are sometimes willing to pay so much for things.
What’s next, a $1,000 phone?

$800 a week is doable. That guy was living on $800 a month.
Good for him. (clearly the buyer lives on $800+ per hour)

Wow.
Now, where’s that old blanket that my mom put down for the cats?

At least the blanket had historical context, and is possibly an appreciating asset. The phone will be worth $60 in 24 months.

$800 a week ain’t terribly bad. I mean, it’s no million bucks, but I’ve lived on way less in my life.

Right. I corrected it.

$800/month. My mistake.

I keep telling my sons that the value of something is entirely based on how much somebody is willing to pay for it. I appreciate the historical and cultural importance of that blanket, but does it even have monetary value? It does to somebody with that kind of cash.

Yeah. I realized that a bit further down.

I need to check the little crawl space above my upstairs (already converted attic) bathroom.
I found a child’s bike helmet in my closet when we moved in, WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE THEY WERE HIDING.

Those helmets are really popular these days. It could be worth a FORTUNE!

Is this for real? How much money does one have to have, before they start buying 1.5 million dollar blankets? Even if I had 200 million, there are so many things that I would treat myself to before an old blanket.

It’s a pretty extraordinary blanket. And it’s worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for it.

I got kind of excited/nervous when I found a rifle case in the attic of my house after moving in. At first I was like cool maybe free gun. Then I was like crap what if they left t because it was used in a crime or something. Turned out to be just an empty case.

When my wife was a child her parents had a neighbor who was having work done on their house, turn of the century (1900) build date. The electrician was up in the attic and while he was shuffling things around near the eaves when he found a packaged wrapped up in cloth. Thinking it was the current owners he brought it down to bring it to their attention. Upon unwrapping it they found a freshly oiled Thompson sub-machine gun complete with the drum clip. It is currently residing in the St.Paul police museum.

In a museum? Hell, I would have kept it.

Holy shit - who is bidding that high? Wow... I get that it’s an amazing piece of history and there’s one in the Smithsonian, but there must be only a handful of these in that condition in the world for museums/collectors to be willing to go that high that quickly and aggressively for it. Wow.

It surely sold to a museum with a very large endowment.

My grandparents had an antique business. The amount of antiques that people throw out would blow your mind.
