Customer Reviews
not what I thought it was ...
I found it to be just a silly game with high price antiques that most people never see. .. I expected to find REAL appraisals of, everyday antiques in the $10 to $500 range. Hard site to figure out what to do, if perchance there is more to it than I realize. .. Wish I hadn't spent 3 dollars on it! ... Maybe on a real computer it might wok better, but on an iPad 2, it just doesn't work for me.
fun game
and it supports the PBS show. Win win.
Fantastic
