He should have asked Brad Bell for more appearances on B&B if he was going to save up for his son's college tuition fund. In all seriousness, it was a foolish decision to invest completely in that type of fad, especially in such high amounts. Even if they had sold their entire collection back in what, 2000 they probably still wouldn't have recouped the money they had spent. Maybe the should have invested in Barbie dolls or Cabbage Patch Kids instead?

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Chris Robinson had an income and opportunities most of us only dream of. Maybe he should have thought of a shares/property portfolio. He'd most likely be sitting pretty today...
