I've also seen episodes where he either flat-out lied or made huge errors about the history/rarity/value of certain items. I swear it was done just for the sake of the show to build drama.



I don't think that's him. The guy we're talking about has a show on the Travel Channel called "Toy Hunter". See below:

And there is no excuse for getting facts wrong most of the time as ghost shows are usually pretty staged. They typically have time to research, especially when he "drops by" someplace that is several states away. People would tell the show they have toys that are worth tons of money and they would do their research to make sure it's worth the trip. Then they pretend to be surprised when they come across a complete set of original Star Wars figures.

I wouldn't mind him passing on easy money toys if he exclusively bought high-dollar items. Problem is you clearly see him buy toys for under $30 to flip for $50+, especially lots of figures like the TMNT stuff. I didn't mind that show "Hollywood Treasure" because they passed on replicas for actual movie production stuff, which is worth way more and what their business is all about.
