Enjoy?
I mean no offense at all, but I am heavily involved in EBay and do watch the "Antiques Roadshow", yet I cannot make heads or tails of what this is about. It isn't funny and doesn't make any sense.
Am I missing something here?

Speaking of the Roadshow.
I just noticed a print that was featured on a show this spring, up for auction on ebay. I guess I can't be more specific or I might identify the auction. The seller states it's the actual print seen on the show and it has currently met the reserve of about 1/3 the appraised value on the show. I remember the episode and I am pretty sure it is the same one. I'll be curious to see if it gets anywhere near the value quoted on the show.

Born and raised in NYC, I found this funny. It must be something in the water.

I was born and raised in Bay Ridge and Jackson Heights, so it must be something other than the water!

Don't drink water and you won't wonder.
I liked the blackout part, but it should be a screen that displays:
Please wait -
we are experiencing technical difficulties.
You may experience occasional flashes of transmission so we are not down.
We thank you for your patience.

1. Dan Elias needs both clothing and hair advice.
2. The initial post is incomprehensible.

david2001:
don't worry. It is because is has been specially encrypted for those of us in a double super secret Ebay parody club.
It isn't funny unless you have ventured away from EBay for a short while and taken in AR or one of the other TV on-the-road appraisal shows.
PS:It was funny, but let's keep our secret.

ROFLM*O!!!
My wife asked if;
a) would there now be a f.v.f.?
b)do we get to leave feedback for appraisals we do not agree with?
Love the Roadshow, they appraised an old book of mine a few years ago (mine was older and in better condition) for $1100.00, so I'm happy with them.
