Once, at a local antique show, I saw an antique console radio where someone had very poorly cut a square hole in the side and inserted a modern tape player (I forget if it was cassette or 8 track). They were asking $90 for the monstrosity. I told them that the radio was not worth anywhere near the asking price, destroyed as it was, and had been worth much in original condition.
They did not like the comment, but it was the truth and hopefully saved some radios (and possibly TVs) later on. It was still unsold when I left the show.
