APPRAISER: You must be the youngest collector that I've seen.

GUEST: I think so.

APPRAISER: What kinds of things do you like to collect?

GUEST: I like glass, sterling silver, and art.

APPRAISER: What's the coolest thing you've ever found?

GUEST: I think it's a big sterling silver tray.

APPRAISER: Really?

GUEST: Yes.

APPRAISER: Now what-- where do you find this stuff?

GUEST: This junkie auction down in my town.

APPRAISER: You like to keep it?

GUEST: I like to sell it online.

APPRAISER: You like to sell it?

GUEST: Uh-huh.

APPRAISER: So you like buying and selling things?

GUEST: Big time.

APPRAISER: Have you made a lot of money selling silver, you said?

GUEST: Well, um, I want to sell in September, so.

APPRAISER: Okay.

Because the price fluctuates.

So you kind of keep up with when silver is up and when silver's down.

APPRAISER: That's good.

So what'd you bring today?

GUEST: This piece was found at an auction down in South Jersey.

It was so hot there, my dad didn't want to stay to get it, but I wanted to.

So we waited an hour or so.

We got it for two bucks.

APPRAISER: Two bucks?

GUEST: I thought it was a watercolor... GUEST: ...but we couldn't tell because of the U.V.

glass.

APPRAISER: You're right.

It's a watercolor.

And you were showing me earlier that... ...it's signed down here.

Do you know what it says?

GUEST: I only know Albert.

APPRAISER: Albert is the first part of the name.

And this part is "Neuhuys."

GUEST: Oh.

APPRAISER: Albert Neuhuys.

Neuhuys was one of the Dutch painters.

He was born in 1844 and he died in 1914.

And I think your watercolor was probably done in the last quarter of the 19th century.

He's from Holland, and there are a lot of other good painters from Holland who are working at this time.

Bernard Pothast is one.

Jozef Isrëls is one.

They did a lot of these scenes with a mother and one child or two children in an interior just like this, showing family life.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: You paid two dollars?

GUEST: Yes.

APPRAISER: What do you think it might be worth today?

GUEST: $150.

APPRAISER: $150?

I think it's worth $150.

I think it's more than $150.

Today, if your Albert Neuhuys watercolor came to an auction, it would probably sell for between $1,000 and $1,500.

GUEST: Whoa!

APPRAISER: Yeah.

GUEST: (mimes mind blown) APPRAISER: It's a lot of money.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: Not bad for two bucks.

So I think you've got a great career going as an art dealer.

You should keep at it, yeah.

GUEST: I know, yeah.

I think I'm going to be rich.

APPRAISER: Well, if you keep buying things like this, I think you got a good chance at being rich.

You got a head start.

GUEST: Yeah.
