I can't believe someone would pay 30 million yen for sandals that Steve Jobs wore, and that were in the trash.

The fact that Jobs left behind such a unique legacy is what makes this such a ridiculous story, but how can they prove that Jobs himself used these?

The source is Jobs' house manager, so is it credible?

If this house manager has "bad ideas," I think he'll keep on "alchemizing" old used items to say "the one Jobs used..." but maybe there's a photo of him actually wearing them.

Come to think of it, famous baseball players' bats and masks of masked wrestlers sometimes go for shocking prices.

To those who don't need it, it's just trash.

To those who want it, it's a treasure, just like "second-hand goods".

Our company has championship rings made to first-string players when the Hiroshima Toyo Carp won the championship in 1979, but they're a bit obscure.

If it was a ring made by a big star like Yamamoto Koji (Mr. Red Helmet), Kinugasa Yoshio (Iron Man),

Takahashi Yoshihiko (popular player, stolen base king), Kitabeppu Manabu (213 wins),

or Enatsu Toyo, famous for his "21 pitches", I'm sure there would be fans who would say, "I want it no matter what."

Isn't Enatsu's 1979 championship ring amazing?

That was Enatsu's career high, right?

Well, it's not something a low-class second-hand dealer like me can get, but...

Sometimes, if you're a second-hand dealer for a long time, you can get one.

The most appreciated cases are those where the person who brought it in doesn't think it's valuable at all, and the dealer doesn't think it's valuable either, so they buy it at random, and it sells for an incredible amount at an auction. I hope that kind of good fortune will come to us. I'm not saying 30 million! I'd be happy if it went for 3 million. ...I'd even be overjoyed if it went for 300,000. Dealers feel like they're in a casino every day. Usually it's not "777" or something, but something like "orange"
