Antiques Roadshow

APPRAISER

At auction, I think this would sell for about $20,000.

GUEST

What? Really?

APPRAISER

Yes.

GUEST

Wow. That's very cool. (laughs) I'm almost embarrassed. (laughs) I bought them to sell, but my husband said, "No, I wanna keep those," and I said, "okay, we can. It was your money anyway, so..." (laughs) It belonged to an artist in Granbury. She died in 2006 and I went to her auction because she was a neighbor and fellow artist. I was trying to be cool, but the rest of the antiques at the sale were going crazy so they started the bidding at 50, but I thought, well, I'll just kind of sit here and wait. And he dropped the bidding to $10 and then I bid 10, somebody bid 12, I bid 15, and he waited for somebody else to bid and nobody else did, and so he said, "Sold!" and I said okay, I'll take all four. And I've had them for 10 years, and we keep all our records and our record player, and my husband has over a thousand records.

Peter said that that was what specifically they were made for

to keep records and record players, so that's kind of perfect! (laughs)
