    Not awkward at all, seeing a man who appears to not have much money just found out he was holding onto a small ring with a lot of money. Humble man who finally got a break in life.

    This mans reaction was one of a humble man who just made his and possibly his families future a whole lot more comfortable. At no point did anyone appear awkward and he certainly didn't. Its not often I get genuinely happy for other people but this was a moment of pure joy and it made me smile.

    • @MrDevinAndrews
      @MrDevinAndrews 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      You're 100% correct in that his reaction and his emotional outpouring isn't awkward in the least. What is awkward is the complete lack of empathy or acknowledgement from the assessor.
      Imagine you're in that man's position and you have a group of people just staring at you, and on camera no less, as you get so overcome with emotion.
      I'm sure it was all in the name of "good TV."

    Nah, the most awkward Roadshow moment was when a clearly wealthy woman brought her collection of imported elephant ivory statuettes on to be valued, and she looked immensely pleased with them, until she was told that they were VERY illegal. She then remembered that they weren't really hers, and were just kinda family airelooms that she really wasn't too happy about. The Roadshow hung that woman out to dry, 8pm on Sunday night. Absolutely savage.

    My Dad told me about a more "awkward situation" on ARS.
    This woman had brought in a piece of Colonial American furniture and the appraiser asked if this was the condition of the piece when they purchased it. The woman stated that her husband had refinished it a few years prior.
    The appraiser informed the woman, the piece, theoretically, could've been owned by one of the Founding Fathers, and was worth $17,000 USD, but had her husband not refinished it, it would have been worth $200,000 - $300,000 USD.
    Needless to say, she was quite disappointed with the husband.

    I love jewellery expert Geoffrey Munn. Such love and knowledge of jewellery. When he does his appraisals he loves to tease the owner. Imagine him choosing a piece of jewellery for you; it would have exactly the right meaning.
    That gent with the ring was genuinely overcome. If that ring was mine, I'd have a copy made and sell the original.
