Antique trash or treasure?

Nearly 80 Seniors gathered at the Eagan Community Center on Saturday afternoon to have their antiques evaluated. Antique experts Bonnie Lindberg & James Marrinan from "Appraisal Specialists" gave their opinions and valuations for a large assortment of old items. This woman had her Scandinavian woodcarving appraised.

il doit y avoir beaucoup de déceptions, tout le monde rêvant d'avoir un trésor dans son grenier.

I have a couple of antiques I wouldn't mind showing them.

God ide.
Jeg har sett "Antique Roadshow" på BBC.
Kanskje har vi flere verdifulle ting, uten å være klar over det?

Nice - I like to see Antikrundan at Swedish TV, which is much better than the danish.

Surely a much nicer way to measure time and life than using a caledar. Please have a wonderful Friday you all.

Looks like fun! We have an appraisal TV show in Japan, too :)

That WOULD be fun...find out the monetary value of things you have sitting around. I have a couple of pieces that it would be difficult for me to find out what they're worth here, but maybe I should bring them to Eagan!! :)

If they weren't interesting in buying I believe valuations would be accurate! :-)
