I'm in Louisiana and I absolutely love love love this show. Especially when someone wants gets way more than they expected. Like the couple that wanted to raise £3,000 and actually raised over £51,000 !!!
being as this was in 2004, I really really hope they went to Greece, given that the horrific Boxing Day tsunami smashed Thailand in 2004. I remember watching this epi not long after we got our home in the woods in CT; great memories. Hope the couple are doing well and that their holiday was fab!
What a strange thing to do. To sell all those lovely things they've kept for such a long time, those dog portraits, the claret jug, the unique fox door stop, that clock, etc. etc. for a sofa that'll last about 10 years before they pay someone 50 quid to take it away. It's no good saying, "we won't let the dog on it" it'll take 2 weeks before he's sharpening his claws.
That's how it's done .Makes such a difference wich auctionneer handles the Hammer. This must be an old episode . Lewis look exactly how I remember him . Today's proces are much lower due to terrible and uninterested auctionneers. This on3 though is brilliant .Loved it .
Wow, your young expert guy doing the valuations was really good, far more accurate and knowledgeful than some of the more mature and experienced experts. Spot on! Enjoy your hols!!
They dont get ALL the money ,do they?? The auction house gets a fee, the estimater, etc.. But, they did good anyways. I can not imagine the wealth of antiques and good stuff Britain has!!
