Anything is worth lot of cash

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Yes, I've said this before. Drives the price up for genuine collectors and gives sellers an unrealistic expectation on what their stuff is worth. Some of the crap you see on there which is little more than scrap and certainly worth nothing more than scrap value, yet is priced as 'antique' or 'vintage'. Some people are just greedy and others follow them like sheep as they know no better. It's depressing....

Like I said, for that money I'd want it delivered, fitted and installed, complete with column and a case of spare lamps for good measure ;fool
