GUEST: I got it from my cousin's estate.
APPRAISER: And it was one of his toys?
GUEST: Yes. He got it for his 15th birthday.
APPRAISER: It's called Space Conqueror, and it was made in the '60s.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: It was a great space toy, which were very desirable then, and even more desirable to collectors today. Box is great, and we like them in this condition. Now, oftentimes we'll ask somebody what did they pay for something. But you didn't buy this, but somebody bought it. And you know what they paid for it? Two dollars and 97 cents.
APPRAISER: Well, I guess you'd like to know what the value is now.
GUEST: Yes, I would.
APPRAISER: Well, why don't we round $2.97 and call it three dollars? And then we'll put another zero behind it.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: Yes-- $3,000.
GUEST: My golly! Oh, my golly! I can't believe it.
APPRAISER: At auction, that's what it should bring.
GUEST: Okay, thank you very much.
APPRAISER: Thank you for bringing it in.
GUEST: Thank you very much.
