Thank you for your content. This really helps me with my depression and keeps my mind off of the daily things. Love watching and learning new things. This channels means a lot to me as stupid as it sounds. So thanks!

Poetically, the enchanting confirmation of your Sales Incentive payment has gracefully danced its way through the process.

OMG ! I've been eating my breakfast cereal out of a Ru Guanyao Brush Washer Bowl ! Better not put it in the dishwasher.

Excellent video! Some staggeringly expensive items. Especially that plain Chinese bowl.

As an Indian, I just cannot stop chuckling at the bad luck and curse that the Hope diamond's previous owners have been through!

I hope, one day it will be returned to where it originally belonged to!

I need to know what colors are there for that pottery

[waynecurtis]

I have a Australia 1661 made with silver wonder if it is worth anything

It's ok to forge a sword but not a painting.

[krisshaw]

Actually for a stamp it's pretty cool I really like it's color too

The woman at 16:41 is Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein. She never wore or owned the Hope diamond. She also died at home at the age of 84. You might be referring to Marie-Louise, Princess de Lamballe, who was Marie Antoinette’s closest friend and member of her court. Marie-Louise was sometimes allowed to wear the diamond. She was murdered shortly after Marie Antoinette was arrested.

@12:01 - I hope those collectors who jumped at the opportunity of buying that ceramic bowl didn't end up breaking it :(

[zufalllx]

Wow, I have had bad luck as well. Maybe I owned the Hope diamond at one point in my life 🙄

1933 double eagle sold for double that dollar

[josephpacchetti]

Some people have more dollars than sense.

[petejones]

What would an American silver half dollar fetch these days.. They are in good condition and picture jfk on the front of the coin... I have 3

[zamzamsaifi]

Sir I have a 70 year old double bed made of walnut wood and for so many years this bed has not been infested with termites and it will never be infested with them

[steveanderson]

A Mickey Mantle baseball card is NOT an antique! An antique is anything MORE than 100 years old!

[norfolkronin]

Some have more money than sense and soul. Crazy.

[tdamtoft]

What a load of men's hanging neather parts.
