antique roadshow

just like when people are elated to find out that the $2 vase they found at a garage market is worth between 15 and 17 grand, it's interesting to watch the reaction when some guy thinks that he has the desk that belonged to the brother of napoleon bonaparte and really it's just some guys old desk. but b/c it's old it's still worth five grand.
something tells me that, even when i'm dead and gone for many decades, the furniture i've acquired from target will not carry any sort of substantial value.
