If you watched the episode, you remember the awkward silence. The host, Sarah Moore herself, was offering the homeowner a tidy profit.
But the homeowner said no. And Sarah didn’t push. She just smiled and shrugged.

But in this particular case, the owner looked at the shiny, refurbished piece. And they flat-out refused the money.
