I know the owners at 2 of the stores they filmed at plus watched them in action at the Chicago Toy Show. In that episode they "bought" a rare Mego figure for 5 figures. Talked with the guy after the 2 plus hours they had his booth blocked off and unable to sell anything due to filming and they actually didn't buy it. It was 100% for TV. They made the guy looked like he didn't know what he had, wasted over 2 hours of prime selling time at one of the busiest shows in the world, and then didn't even buy the item.

Pure staged nonsense...but still was fun to watch for the entertainment value of seeing a lot of rare toys.
