    In 2006, this copy of the first “exact facsimile” of the Declaration was cleaned out of a garage and donated to a thrift shop, where it sold for the thrift shop “standard price” of $2.48. The buyer researched it, had it authenticated, and sent it to a top conservator. He then sold in 2007 at Raynor’s Historical Collectible Auction, for $477,000. After post-discovery press, the donor came forward (“I was the idiot,” he said). He explained that cleaning out the garage was part of his recent pre-marriage negotiation. Out went a great deal of junk-along with the Declaration that he had bought it at a flea market for $10 a decade earlier). We acquired this document for a client in 2008.

    Here's a lesson kiddies, once a buyer starts claiming what it's going to cost him to own what you're selling but is still interested in what you're selling Walk Away! Because you can get a lot more than whatever he is about to offer.
    This piece needs to be sold at auction, not a pawn shop because a private collector will pay what you're asking and sometimes twice it's value.

      Buyer beware... also, seller beware. A pawn shop is often a last, least appealing resort for someone needing money for an object that a prospective seller values. No one forces anyone to go to a pawn shop to sell an item. And a pawn shop is relying on the seller's potential desperation for money. A seller can always walk away. Just because something might be worth X does not mean they will ever realize X for it.

You got to understand that they’re in Vegas and Vegas has people from all over the world going there and bringing their items they want to sell. Also they have a tv show so people want to be on it and they’ll sell for whatever price than they normally would. I’ve been there 2 summers ago and I missed the whole crew by a few days because they all literally take the entire summer off for vacation. I talked to a really cool employee they have who pretty much told me a lot. Because I was pretty upset that I missed them, especially by a couple of days. I like rick. Most of you all hate him.
