We've gone to some pretty upscale shows but not like this one. We've seen checks written for upwards of $40,000- but not $400,000! Although we could write one for that amount - my husband had our checks printed with a rubber plantation in the background so that people should not be surprised if they bounce - ha! Interesting blog! The main thing is to learn from these shows in the perchance you ever see one of these items at a yard sale for $1. You are now educated enough to know that you should pick up that Germanic sword and not try to negotiate for 95 cents! Good fun! Nice article!
