The unfortunate thing about this business is that a lot of these collectors may not be able to afford $10,000 for a Babe Ruth baseball, but they can get talked into buying one for $800 and all they need to do is make themselves think it's authentic and they have satisfied their goals of obtaining what they believe is a legitimate item. In time, they will find out it's not and they will go into immediate denial as it comes from a "trusted" source and get angry.
But they do have a vague understanding of value Steve, because Coach's tells them the value in the description is some instances. They will say that it sells for $20,000 and the final winning bid will be $600. Happens all the time.
