pattricia Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I would enjoy this show if it were not for the annoying people who lean forward to hear the price of a valuation.They are usually standing in a queue behind the expert and person wanting the valuation.They all lean at the same time,and go OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh, when the price is given.Also some people when they find out what their article is worth say " Well of course, I would never sell it" (Liars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantica Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I hate the smug ones who sit there knowing full well what their item is worth because they only had it valued last week. It's funny when the valuer on the show gives them a price and it's not what they were hoping to hear. They then have to put on a fake surprised expression to save face. On the other hand I love to see the old dears living on a shoestring wheeling out their old bits and bobs to find they are worth a fortune. They are the folks who make it worth watching.

Don_Kiddick Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I watch it to see the chav scum in the background with potentially priceless heirlooms swinging ponderously in supermarket carrier bags with tatty 'ready to snap' handles.

Zinger549 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Why do they always have it in nice places. Why not try somewhere like Moss Side or East London. IIt would be a different show then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyannie Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 my godmother went on once (about 4 years ago) with some hideous (but turned out to be quite valuable) paintings. She queued up and saw the expert, who valued the paintings then asked if they could repeat the valuation for the cameras...she had to do her "oh, my! are they really?!" face twice for the cameras...of course the onlookers didnt hear the original valuation but know it must be something juicy as the cameras have been brought in, hence the leaning in for the verdict!

cressida Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 have you seen David Dickenson@s new programme, a whole lot of dealers have been brought in to make an offer to the members of the public, most of them look like ROGUES GALLERY, (or spivs in my ancestors days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defstef Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 The worst offenders, in my view, are the people who constantly, almost compulsively, make affirmative utterances as the expert reels off historical factoids, possibly rotating the actual word like one of those action men with string coming out of their backs: "It's 200 years old" "Yes" "It was made in upper Saxony by a beel-weaver called Trevor the Otter" "mm-mmm" "It seems to have been altered..." "Yes" "...in the early nineteenth century, by..." "mm-mmm" "an extraordinarily talented shrimp. And if you see..." "Yes" "...here..." "mm-mmm" "...then..." "Yes" "...OK, look, love, if you already knew all of this, then why on earth did you bother coming on the show?" "mm-mmm" "Look, just..." "Yes" "STOP SAYING YES!!" "mm-mmm" "Look, just...it's worth about 200 quid, OK?" "Yes" "**** off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
