For the benefit of those curious as to the reception they may receive when it comes time to sell, I provide, as a public service, the following snippet of dialog regarding a wrist-watch between Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Ackroyd) and a pawnshop owner (Bo Diddley) from the 1983 movie, Trading Places...

LW III:  "Fifty bucks?  No, no no!  This is a Rochefoucauld!  The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world.  Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland and water-resistant to three atmospheres.  This is *the* sports watch of the '80's. Six thousand nine hundred fifty-five ($6,955.) dollars, retail.  It tells time in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome and Gstaad."

Pawnbroker:  "In Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks."

Note:  To appreciate the gist of my analogy, simply substitute "50 bucks" for "melt."  As always, your experience may differ.  :whistle:
