Topic: Don't you love the "Antiques Roadshow"

For you non-UK readers, this is a TV show where experts will value your items that you may have in your house.

Some woman just had an array of pieces of jewellry, each bought for 10p (about the price of a lollipop) just a month ago.

One was worth £2
The most were valued £20-50
And the final piece was worth £750-1000

I'd hate to be the mug who sold it for 10p :)

They don't let them into your home actually :D

The tour the country going to Town Halls and such, and people bring along their things!

What you want to watch is "Cash in the Attic", where they invade your home and value things..

Swedes :rolleyes:

The funniest parts on the Antiques Roadshow are when people bring in items which they think are worth a fortune, and have driven hundreds of miles to get it valued... only to find its worth absolutely nothing.

muahah smile

Re: Don't you love the "Antiques Roadshow"

its quality tv when that happens wink

In most cases it isn't a dissapointed "oh" though... amusingly, they start to attack the valuer and demand that they value it at a higher price tongue

We have something similar in Sweden called "Antikrundan".
