I see these customs jewellery auctions in Vancouver Lex @The Prowler. They are items seized by border agents opr by the police.
I attended one once. Im sure there are some very good deals in them including pearls, diamonds and other precious stones. Oddly the items which sold way over asking were metallic jewellery such as solid Gold rings, coins. Many others got only 10% to 25% of their asking price. If I was going to buy high end jewellery as an investment or resale Id go to customs auctions for deals. I haven't pursued that endeavor thO. The furthest I went in buying jewellery was buying a gold ring which has gone by 300% only because the price of gold has since skyrocketed

Well nobody Cares about your pearls either Lex @The Prowler.
They look like something you got from the bargain bin at Costco.
Here's one of just a few pieces of Jewellery I've ever bought/owned Prowler:
.1 troy ounce Gold. Had it assayed with a $30,000 Olympus metal detector

Nice coin Lex @The Prowler except for the funny lookin guy with the Big schnozz on the back.This was not purchased by me, but given to me to celebrate a very special milestone.
Too bad King Charlie didn't inherit his dad's matinee idol good looks. He was a funny lookin kid with oversized ears when he was young too.
Only saving grace about his coins is given his health problems he won't be around much longer hence the relative scarcity of some of those coins.

A 2 TB CF Express B memory card for my camera from Amazon
Its only about 1" x 2" in actual size. Cost me over a whopping $1000 Canadian or about $700 USD.
Thing is next day the price shot up 40% to over $1500 canadian of $1100 USD.
The sale was officially over.
One of the accessories today's digital cameras can't do without. Thing it only holds as little as 1 hour of uncompressed full frame RAW video. So real movie making probably requires 4 or 8TB cards which are prohibitively expensive. Needless to say I don't plan ta buy too many more of them unless by chance I land some freelance jobs & the client pays for 'em.
Its more expensive than a decent camera lens.
Iran War will probably cause those tings to double in price so may as well buy them now than later.

Well if that's any indication then what I paid for it on sale was last year's prices eh?
2TB still doesn't store that much @Frood
An hour of uncompressed video at most?
A 256mb card maybe 8 minutes of raw video.
Ya don't get much memory fer the money these days

Well here's a source which says its even less than that :
Recording Time by Card Capacity (Approximate 8K/5.7K RAW)
- 256GB Card: ~5 to 6 minutes
- 512GB Card: ~10 to 12 minutes
- 1TB Card: ~22 to 25 minutes
- 2TB Card: ~45 to 50 minutes [, ]

5-7 minutes of RAW uncompressed video therabouts for a 256 mb card. maybe 8 minutes max?
But most people wouldn't need that kind of resolution. Hi RES of that quality would be suitable for a large movie screen. Netflix quality. so a prosumer camera might be able to shoot a 1 minute ad or a very short film if it was intended for the big screen.
Of course compressed video will yield a longer duration where quality or resolution isnt as inportant. eg video for the computer screen or cellphones
Theres also compressed RAW formats which yield 3x or more footage. but of course not as high quality as uncompressed
