Members of the public arrive with personal items to sell to a room full of expert dealers to cover their train fare home. Beforehand an expert in a flat cap values the item. Nigel Havers presents and camps it up in a suit and trainers.
The trouble is, the items brought in either rarely match the tastes of the dealers, or more often than not they have no idea what it is. It's embarrassing sometimes how little they know, especially after being introduced as being 'at the top of their game'.
Items will be valued at 200-300, yet in the room will struggle to get to £50, or just receive no interest at all. First bid £20, then everyone else 'is out'. This happens a lot. It makes for extremely dull viewing sometimes.
