Experts often assist in appraising the items, providing insights into their history and market value. The show engages viewers by showcasing a wide range of items, from antiques to collectibles. Contestants must use their judgment and knowledge to make decisions, creating suspense and excitement. The format encourages audience participation, as viewers often guess along with the contestants about the value of the items presented.
