So how much would you pay for this wire twisted Mobile made in the 1950s?

Believe it or not, YOU (Yes YOU!) probably would pay $5,000, $10,000, $50,000 or even more to own this! Why do I say that? Well this stupid wire twisted Mobile appraised for up to a $1,000,000 on Antique Roadshow! I think I am going to give up Bitcoins and start cranking out Mobiles!!! Unbelievable.... Shocked

I guess it was made by a famous artist named Alexander Calder in the 1950s. See the appraisal video below.

Kidding? I've made some better pieces from the rubbish what I found in grandma's loft when I was a bored 10 years old...

Do you have any pictures?

I need to take some art classes! I think I am missing the boat on all these expensive "art" pieces.
