1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,633
APPRAISER: So this is a pretty 
kooky thing you brought in. 
Tell me where you got it.

2
00:00:04,633 --> 00:00:06,533
GUEST: Well, I actually 
got it at a yard sale. The 
gentleman that owned it 
was an older gentleman.

3
00:00:06,533 --> 00:00:09,366
He said, "You really need to buy 
this," and I paid $25 for it.

4
00:00:09,366 --> 00:00:11,400
APPRAISER: Okay. What 
do you know about it?

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,833
GUEST: I know that Sam Zell 
had these made for some of 
his employees, and he gave it

6
00:00:14,833 --> 00:00:16,933
to them as gifts.

7
00:00:16,933 --> 00:00:20,100
APPRAISER: Sam Zell, who is an 
investor, mostly in real estate, 
a pretty big mover and shaker--

8
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:23,100
I think he's one of the 
biggest holders of real estate 
investment trusts-- had these

9
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:28,100
made every year and gave them 
out in the New Year to friends, 
employees, and associates.

10
00:00:30,566 --> 00:00:34,033
So here the plaque says 
"Sam Zell, Wired Exports," 
and it's number 428 
out of 675. So there's

11
00:00:36,533 --> 00:00:38,666
674 other of these out 
there somewhere. Now, 
I've seen ones from other 
years. This particular

12
00:00:38,666 --> 00:00:42,666
one is from 2003. But they 
all have a different theme. 
And you said this one talks?

13
00:00:42,666 --> 00:00:46,433
GUEST: This one talks, 
it talks about exporting 
American goods to China.

14
00:00:46,433 --> 00:00:51,400
APPRAISER: We're going to see 
if it actually gets going here. 
The complication of the device

15
00:00:53,333 --> 00:00:57,400
makes it interesting and unique, 
and because of Sam Zell's 
power in the industry, make

16
00:00:59,466 --> 00:01:02,466
it something that folks are 
interested in. Conservatively, 
a retail value on this, we're

17
00:01:03,333 --> 00:01:06,033
looking at, like, $5,000.

18
00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:10,800
GUEST: Wow. Wow. I never thought 
it would be worth that much.
