It's an interesting little show, but why SyFy put the Hollywood Treasures show on after Ghost Hunters...I dunno.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Oct 28 '10, 09:16

a high-level auction house going to find materials for auctions from random sources; be it normal people, low-level staffers on productions or the stars themselves....

and the process to authenticate the items (a cape/jacket from Bela Legosi for instance was interesting).....

interesting concept...placement was weird and it doesn't fit the channel's MO...but hey, interesting is interesting.

History has had success with Pawn Stars and American Pickers, SyFy is copying (and their new MO is that they will have no MO) -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 09:18 20

    - an auction house could be a 6 month wait for $$, and it will be 20% less than the hammer price because of seller fees -- nm - peglegpete Oct 28, 09:26 4
      - I get the need cash quick benefit. But you're going to get about 50% of estimated hammer price most of the time from Rick -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 09:29 3

    - I think that the shop being located in Vegas has a lot to do with that. People are constantly being told how valuable something is on this show. - Diva Oct 28, 09:25 3
