Grace and Jack LOVE when that happens and mock the people all the time, so when the show comes to town the decide to BE those people...except the crappy teapot the purchased at the lesbian thrift store turns out to be worth a ton of money. Cue arguments and physical comedy.
And they accidentally destroy someone else's thingy (I don't know what it's called, but like a partition that you change behind) so the AR person takes their teapot and gives it to the person whose thingy got destroyed.
There was an episode of "Frasier", as well. The father was arguing that he wanted to watch his game show. The boys wanted to watch AR. Turned out they were arguing to watch the same show and they made a drinking game out of it.
Does anyone think they have any valuable antiques? I know my MIL believes the boxes of junk antiques she brings every time she steps foot in my house are.. I DO think some of DH's Springsteen memorabilia is worth something.
I have a ton of ddh's old comic books and I wonder every now and then if there's an exceptionally rare one in there. He was a wicked collector hoarder and I'll be pissed if it's all crap! I don't even know where to begin with the comic books. I bet there are at least 2500 of them in boxes in the attic.
DH has several thousand dollars worth of Magic cards. I don't think AR would appraise them highly but if he ever pieced out his collection he could sell it for a good amount privately. But, this will never happen.
My mom has been slowly collectung a very specific kind of pottery over the years.
I think she's got a handful of pieces worth $100 or so but most of it is $10 each type stuff. But considering how much there is if somebody was patient enough to unload the whole collection piece by piece it'd be a couple grand.
Eta: she had no illusions about this collection though. She just likes it. We actually use a lot of it to eat/serve.
I have a my grandmother's life size doll from the 1920s. I'd love to know if it has any value, but whenever I start an internet search I see things like this:
That devil doll is about to eat that girl's face!
And then I have to stop searching because nightmares.
