he also tried to tell me last night about how some antique cylinder phonograph he's had in the attic is worth 10 grand, and that it's worth more because it's dented (?)
when I said that to my mom, she told me he's full of shit, and they had it appraised at $500
this all came up because she wants to get rid of a shitty antique bookcase (that's missing the original wood front / glass doors and has some nails sticking out of it) and he think it's worth a ton of money. he went on for 5-10 minutes about that friggin' thing last night.
reminds me of On Bullshit.
gist of which is that liars know truth and obscure it; bullshitters don't care about true/false, just that listener identifies/changes their mind.
