One of their more significant blunders was featured in an episode where a customer approached them to sell a vintage Wells Fargo strongbox. It was believed to potentially contain valuable contents inside.

After much discussion, they ended up purchasing the said strongbox based on their expectation that its worth lies in its contents only to eventually find its contents didn't add up to anything close to the amount they expected.

They were unable to recover funds spent in acquiring the box they thought to be a treasure trove holding unknown gems within!
