You've spoilt my reverie John :>).
I am sure that it is carefully organised, but not to the extent that
you imply in your message.
Perhaps you have something "over there" that you are talking about...

Sometimes, you can get a real deal from folks who aren't really
familiar with the value of what they're selling -- the Antiques
Roadshow is proof of that. But I'm usually leery, too, when it's
a long-distance, I-can't-kick-your-butt-if-you-screw-me deal like
evilBay. The reserve price indicates the seller has some clue,
but the buyer may open up the back of the camera and find two
cocoons and a dead mouse. It may be a good deal, but I'm passing.

The BBC antiques roadshow is nothing short of a sham! The sellers are
all carefully prescreened and the on-camera appearances scripted and
rehearsed ahead of time. The days of "just drop by and bring in your
bric-a-brac" are long gone.
