I wasn't even aware that Christies had a television department much less a postwar model department. I often drop a strong hint that why stop there at asking $500 for a $5 TV. Go for the gusto and ask $5000, it will even make you feel far more important!!

About 35 years ago, I was at a flea market in NJ and this strange guy had a violin that was in pieces that he was touting as a real Stradivarius and asking $250,000 on a crummy cardboard sign marked "CHEAP". He was explaining the "Stradivarius seams" in the pieces of trashed wood like he really knew what he was talking about. Here we were, about 25 miles from NYC and if it was real, could have gotten more if he would take it there. (If it was real) Idiot!

If Christies told you that it was worth that much----SELL IT TO THEM!!!! Idiots!!!
