I kinda don't like that show at all. Seems they're dealing mostly with old people, "talking" them out of their treasures. Maybe these people have kids and grandkids somewhere who were planning on inheriting that stuff? Maybe for profit, but maybe for sentimental reasons, too.
After my grandma's passing, my grandpa let his "friend" the antique dealer in his house and basically loot the place for a pittance.

The thing I miss most was a Luger my grandpa took off a German POW in WWII...that would have been an heirloom to pass down.
