Antiques Roadshow on TNet?

[Leon]

Hello all,
Here's another idea I had while surfing the site this morning.

I was just wondering if the "Antiques Roadshow", or some of their affiliates, might be interested in coming to the site to help us try and identify a few items, or give us a few history lessons on some of the more unusual finds. They could probably even edit the content in such a way it would make a great episode for their show... If they would be willing to come, we could even start another category, or thread, to post items you wanted to try and get some information on...

I would be willing to email, or try to contact, them about the idea and I'm sure there are probably a few others that would also..

What do ya think?
*Good Idea...
*Bad Idea...
*Might be worth a shot...
*Not good at all...

Just a thought I had, so I thought I would throw it out here...
Have a great day, Leon...

I think it'd be a great idea! However, we'd probably learn just how worthless most of this stuff is. :P haha.

But YES, a great idea!

Well, I sent an email to them about 4 days ago, haven't gotten any kind of responce. as of yet. Probably doesn't look good though, I found this on their site in the Commonly asked questions section.. ( link is to the answer about on-line appraisals ):

Maybe if enough of us ask, it would help,, maybe not...
I should have sent them a few links to some of the items people want an ID for, or information on, to give them an example of what it would be like...

Anyway, still waiting for a responce...

Ooops,
P.S.> I did give them your contact info Marc, so maybe they will get in touch with you...
