My all time favorite is the guy who brought in something he thought for sure was worth a fortune. He learned on camera that what he had, and had paid a pretty penny for, was pretty much a POS. The guy's expression as it dawned on him what he was being told was priceless.

BTW, that is a honking big front derailleur. :lol:
