E03 - The Hammock & the Jealous Auctioneer

This week is a competitive one as Harry is feeling just a little envious of Simon and his TV gig. Listen in for stories of how an audience once stole a 5 star hotel room from the pair, why they dragged a boy (man) into an alleyway and shaved his head, if Nelson had a hammock big enough for two, and what on earth you should do if someone builds a train track on your driveway.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on.
