E18 - The Action Man & The Walnut Escritoire

Today on the podcast, Harry and Simon chat about some of their favourite items that went up for sale last weekend as well as playing you some clips from those auctions. Find out how much a vintage Action Man is worth if you resisted the urge to play with it and send him off to war with your other toys. Is brown antique furniture coming back into fashion? How the pair managed to make a whopping £900 on something they were told to throw in the skip. As well as stories about Harry’s sense of direction and Simon’s miserable week.

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. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
