Antiques Roadshow USA fans were left ‘traumatised’ after a guest was dealt a humiliating blow just minutes after a valuation. 

Viewers swiped that they had ‘never seen a price drop so fast!’ after an Alaskan woman accidentally ripped her mother’s 1960s crystal necklace while she was detailing its ᴀssets for camera.

The accident, which saw the pictures torn apart, was shown in a repeated episode and did not go unnoticed as viewers were left horrified as the seller admitted that she damaged it. 

After confessing to the damage, she then went on to open the locket, which revealed a selection of The Beatles pH๏τos. 

The locket contained snaps of John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr which dated back to 1964. 

She explained that her grandfather had bought her mother the piece for her high school graduation.

But unfortunately for the seller, her profits for the piece of jewellery nearly halved in value as the price plummeted from $75 to just $40 within less than a minute.

Shocked by the clip, fans flocked to reddit to share their thoughts as one wrote: ‘I’ve never seen an appraisal price drop so fast on Antiques Roadshow!’

‘Did Antiques Road Show really put the ‘9:45 $75, 9:46 $40′ or didn’t someone edit that in? If it was Antiques Road Show, they deserve some humour points.’

‘This reminds me of those parody screensH๏τs, specifically the ‘coat that loses all value if touched’ with someone touching it.’

‘Darn. That probably would have paid for the tank of gas to get her to and from the event.’

‘I was on the Swedish version, and as soon as they say that you’re going to be in the show they get you insurance if anything happens during the recording.’

The unearthed clip comes after the UK saw a guest stunned into silence after an expert revealed the eye-watering value of her paintings during Sunday’s instalment of the BBC soap.

The episode, which originally aired in 2023, saw many antique owners arrive at Ebrington Square in Derry to find out how much their ornaments were worth.

Picture specialist Frances Christie confessed that she was ‘really excited’ when she realised that the show guest had brought in Norah McGuinness pieces for her to look at. 

The guest confessed that she bought them just because she liked the look of them and knew Norah’s sister ‘very well’.

Frances said: ‘I love that you managed to get your hands on two, because Norah, I mean she was a pretty pioneering artist for her time. She was obviously born around here, but spent most of her life in and around Dublin. 

‘She went to art school in Dublin, then London, then Paris.

‘They’re both oil on canvas. And when you stand back and you see the bold combinations of colours that she’s used in them. Over here, behind the birds, this sort of bright green, with red flashing across the composition. 

‘And then over to the seagull in this painting, that combination of purple with blue, and then this lovely ochre, sand colour.’

Frances was keen to know if the guest remembered how much she paid for them and how many years ago. 

The woman said: ‘About £120 for that one, and the price is on the back of that…’

Frances looked on the back of the painting and explained that it said £600 on the back of the frame. 

Antiques Roadshow airs on BBC One in the UK and PBS in the US.
