    What also is so heartwarming is the fact that Morans really, really wants to help this man, they saw how much the man has gone through in his life....

    • @Agret
      @Agret 6 лет назад +8

      The Morans saw an opportunity to sell a valuable piece , they earn a commission from the sale so the higher the value an item the happier they are to help the owner.

    • @DJScopeSOFM
      @DJScopeSOFM 4 месяца назад

      The story itself and the experience of selling an item like this is worth way more for the auction house than the commission, but I'm sure there's a 10% commission involved anyway.

      @@DJScopeSOFM Read the title, says it sold for 1.8 million, so likely that includes the buyers premium, so they likely made $300,000 from this sale

      The follow up, his family... mostly his sister wanted to sue him for half the money..the story goes there were 2 blankets at dead grandma's house in a sack, the sister took the other one and threw this blanket on the floor and and said she did not want that dirty old nasty blanket so he kept it. Good for him and she was out of luck..lol.
      He bought 2 houses, 1 as a rental property for income, a new Harley and a new pickup truck and said he invested some of the money.

    The first Antiques Roadshow Navajo blanket we experienced on television owned by the elderly gentleman whose blanket was sitting on the back of a chair as he explained it, ended up in the Detroit Art Institute. The Navajo blanket that Big LT owns and put up for auction appears just as rare, and the net proceeds couldn't have come at a better time. Good luck LT.

Such a genuine guy that really needed a break and boy did he get it! So happy for him and his wife. Great video ❤️

    You can't enjoy seeing people wildly blessed AND at the same time have the attitude of what's mine is mine .... or what's theirs is theirs (the Navajos). I choose JOY in seeing someone blessed. At least we can be pretty confident that it is being preserved and taken care of just as well as if it would've gone back to the Navajos.

    Wasn't a family heirloom, it was on my grandmother's back porch for years and her cat's slept on it... The stain on it was where her cat had kittens on it and no one ever thought it was ever worth anything, I just kept it because after she passed away my siblings pillaged everything and i wanted at least something as a keepsake! And it was first acquired by my great great grandfather who came from Norway and started a trading post in North Dakota and i showed pictures of him 'shaking hand's' with Indian's and they were leading horses away loaded down with sacks of flour, beans, rifles and pots&pans!!!
