‘Cash In The Attic’ – does anyone agree that they are underpciing the antiques and robbing the sellers?
I’ve just watched an elderly lady with fabulous antiques letting them go for a song!!! The lady didn’t seem to be too convinced about the low prices but the presenters obviously need to sell things in order to have a programme. And Lorne Spicer, the presenter, – chav or what? She’s a real Essex girl – what qualifies her to go rummaging about people’s homes and flogging off their family treasures for a pittance?
Keep in mind it is was in vogue or popular right now. Sometimes I think some of the appraisers over price their estimate. It would also seem some of the auction houses they don’t get good prices because the buyers aren’t there. I know they put special lots in “specialized” auctions which sometimes does better. You would think they would know where the better auctions houses are. Wouldn’t you?
Nothing much qualifies her it seems. The male host seems a bit better and more uninformed but, it makes it nicer to watch. I have not cared much to watch the shows with Miss Spicer.
The older lady should have had a younger relative acting as a guide. Then again, it depends on how desperate she was for the money. And she could always put a “reserve” price or minimum acceptable bid.
