Something IS a lil fishy there. ""Any claim that we under-appraised the items or defrauded (him) is simply untrue," Uh huh, the stuff escalated 1000% in value in two weeks. And gee, yah, most of my appraisers allow ME to set the price. ".....says Pickett set the price himself." If the appraiser/purchasers really were agreed, requested, assigned or paid to appraise the goodies, as opposed to just slobber on them til they could get Pickett to leave, I'd sue them too; for a lot more than $870,000.
Notice how eager people are to call people, who get ripped off by bad and nasty people, idiots. Who should have known, just should have known, they were getting ripped off by bad and nasty people; instead of being pissed at the bad people who walk away with money what wasn't theirs.
And yah, he should know more about his history, but what's that got to do with the transaction.
I'm surprised the headline wasn't: "Pickett's Under-Charge Twice".
