A lot of people don't seem to understand when someone asks if you mind something, you don't answer ''yeah'' if you don't mind, you say no. If you do mind, you say yes.

[@SushiBandit28]

Most people do understand that, you dweebs. Its just no one cares and in this case obviously they're not gonna say "yes, I do mind" when bringing in the expert is basically half of the show.

If someone has 70 grand to spend on a surf board, they have 100g

[@chipreuter9478]

You abbreviate with a "K" not a G...

[@RanDLuv]

Right

[@jt8998]

Chip Reuter unless you are referring to something else, maybe greenery of some sory👀

[@turntsnaco824]

@@chipreuter9478 The initial value he stated was "70 grand", aka $70,000. You've heard terms like "10 g's" before, right? Meaning $10,000. "G's" is slang for grand, aka thousand. It's pretty reasonable to assume that what he meant by 100g was "100 G", or "100 grand", aka $100,000. You abbreviate "thousand" with "k" - but he wasn't abbreviating "thousand". He was abbreviating "grand". So, it's not that saying 100k would have been wrong....but grammatically, it would actually be weird and a bit improper to switch to "k" when his original phrasing was "70 grand", not "70k". Saying 100g is perfectly fine and correct....though it should probably be a capital G, since the lowercase would easily be mistaken for grams.

Rick makes a great point, he's the quick money guy, not the get what its worth guy. If the seller is willing to put in the leg work he may be able to get 100k+. You go to a guy like Rick because you DON'T want to put in the leg work and are comfortable taking a loss because of it.

Signed items - “well collectors actually want the item to be in perfect brand new condition, these signatures actually decrease the value” Non signed items - “Well sir these aren’t even signed by anyone.. real collectors want the item signed by the artist, with the signatures It would be worth twice that”

[@ezcargo]

so accurate

[@TetaGama]

This is not an antique that it should be in perfect condition. It's a memorabilia. The signatures are from the people the collectors are trying to remember.

Depends on the item. Signed surfboard would lend credence to the Beach Boy claim. I saw the drummer for the Police, sign a drum set he'd never played with. A rare card speaks for itself, but anyone can fake a surfboard

[@asdasd-ni8eg]

Also depends how it's signed such as the led zeppelin album signed front & back making it impossible to display short of cutting it up. Also sighned means there signature not a message to some random person.

If you have something truly 1 of a kind take it to a reputable auction house rather then a pawn shop. Auctioneer fees range from 10-30%, same as EBAY/[PAYPAL fees, Pawnshops typically want you to sell at 40% or less of the item's value.
