"I wish we had outtakes from all the shows where people were angry and disappointed." Actually Antiques Roadshow has bundled those up onto one DVD and is selling them at auction. However, I believe they've been fetching very poor prices and A.R. are very disappointed and angry about it.
or they shouldnt bring scrap to the show? its not difficult to search up your item on the internet today and see what online auctions have given out on the items... if you go to this show with your antiques to think "oh wow this is worth a bunch of money i can now sell it for the same value!" youre the wrong person to own something antique...
@@CM-eg3gl honesty on this show would be if instead of coming up with some bullshit story of them being bequeathed an item from their great great grandparents…or whatever…tell the truth and say…’”i’ve got a heroin habit and i armed myself with a crowbar and went through somebody’s window while they were having dinner in the next room”

@Kaffir Zulu I'm not from America so not too sure how many of them shit into sinks, there's bound to be a small percentage of people dump into their sinks if you can look into that for me please.
When the expert told him how much his piece of uninteresting driftwood was really worth he had a look on his face like he had just been hit by an iceberg.
At least he was honest. Unlike those "I'd like to know more about it" types who then impatiently mid and say "Yes" every three seconds through the expert's explanation of the item's history but are obviously thinking "Stuff Claris Cliff, how much is it worth?"
My fave was the one set in Denmark where the Dane had a very early typewriter, and the appraiser said all excited: 'It's worth 10 000 pounds.' The Dane replied, in a voice that reminded me of my Danish boyfriend at his wryest: 'And that is what I paid for it.'
Best ones are the obviously already wealthy middle-agers who have been waiting impatiently for granny to fall off the perch so they can sell the heirloom jewelry and pad out the bank account a little more. Straight to the valuation please. The look of offended disappointment on their faces when told that it's not genuine or just not worth nearly as much as they thought is some very satisfying schadenfreude. You can imagine the conversation in the car on the way home... Worst ones are the people who doggedly stick to the story they've been told and argue with the expert, insisting that he or she is wrong and it's worth many thousands of pounds. It's obvious that they've grown up hearing "Great-grandad brought it back from the war, it's very valuable" or "It was acquired by the family back in 1856, it's very unique" and they've built financial plans around it. And then they get told that it's valueless junk or common as muck and their brain can't reconcile that info.
Why on earth would anyone have paid £52 for that back in the 50s? That was a huge sum of money back then! I hope this old fella's other investments have been a bit wiser.
50 years. 50 years of rubbing his hands together with glee thinking of the thousands of dollars he's going to profit from this, a smug smile of self satisfaction, walking around with his head held high and an air of superiority, hinting to his wife and friends that he knows antiques, that he knows more than others, dreaming at night of how the value of this item would sky rocket, holding back temptation to sell too early. Finally the day comes to reap the rewards of his foresight, his knowledge, his wily cunningness, his almost prophetic way of seeing the future. His whole adult life had been building to this, then............ Cut down. It was like a knife in his heart, he held back the tears of anger and disappointment only until the cameras were gone, it was then he sat and wept like a spoilt, petulant child. Oh and just to translate for all the young folk out there "I never heard the like" means "argh, get fucked then" (disclaimer: this is a fictitious rambling, the man is probably a lovely, humble old chap)
To put this into perspective, my grandfather bought a 3 story house in Balham in the 50's for 1000 pound. That's how much this man paid for that piece of junk.
When I was a bit of a younger man, we used to go to Glastonbury etc every summer. A mate of mine used to piss in a plastic bottle or paper cup. Typical male festival toilet behaviour. But he'd then take a small step away and throw the contents on the floor. May as well just pi99ed on the floor I hear you cry. We used to protest the same. This item of furniture is an elaborate version of what I've just described.
Increasing age doesn’t always translate to increased value for antiques. Some items on the Roadshow revisited episodes decreased in value over the past 15 years, even by 50%. Antique values vary with popularity snd demand.
I always see people who think just because something is 100 years old, it's gotta be valuable. But this is rarely the case. Most of the time antiques are worth very little (which is ok with me because I like buying stuff more than selling)
Well yes and no, most of their "experts" over value items to begin with. Especially unflown NASA items and certain other categories. They usually get the art market right and sports memorabilia as well.
I bet this guy has been bragging for years about how he’s sat on a treasure chest, telling his grandkids about the big inheritance they’ll get when he sells his stupid sink in a drawer
The best one was an American women who brought in a vase she knew was old and valuable. The appraiser pointed out the ivory band on the top edge was plastic and what she had was worth maybe $10
You could buy a nice house for £2000 at that time. So he lost out big time. I bet the children of the seller are still telling the story how they sold a piece of junk for a fortune. Buyer beware.
Unless one has money to burn it is best not to purchase obsolete, functional furniture that can't be easily repurposed, regardless of design elegance. Too much of a space occupier.
@@hekatoncheiros208 I would disagree with you and say that craftsmanship partnered with rarity is a good predictor of antique value, except that recently I've seen numerous movie memorabilia items on Roadshow given extravagant dollar estimates, with the items made of material that won't age well and the handiwork slapdash.

@@stephaniehowe0973 Yeah. The right price for it back then would be perhaps £1 and 10s (One and a half quid) unless two people wanted it in which case two and a half quid! It may even have been an iffy auction where a stooge was in the crowd bumping up the bids. The wife must have been furious when he got home. The trouble is these are the people who get hooked in by 'phone calls from Nigerian princes who 'need a bank account to put some money in'. I find it quite sad.
He's like the opposite of my Dad when I was a kid. "Dad, can I have a Pound?" "80p?! I don't think I've got 60p, what do you want 40p for anyway? You can't get anything for 20p" 😂
LOL i love this video, his reaction at the end.. you can just imagine him going home afterwards and tearing up all the bahamas holiday brochures that he'd been looking through hahahaha... never has a dream laid in so many tatters lmao!
I knew some antique auctioneers and they told me after a run of TV programmes they get people thinking there is money to be made. They said, if they just follow what is on TV without detailed study of antiques they buy the outcome is not good. They bring the items back for resale over the next 6 months and their investment dwindles to zero and they never see them again. Not surprised he got stung. What could you do with it, bar park it on your landing until you move house.
@goddessofdrow it's not the exchange rate of pounds to dollars - it's the value of a pound in the 1950s against the value of a pound now.. the pound was marked WAY down since the 1950s - he basically LOST money..

@@stephaniehowe0973 Yeah. The right price for it back then would be perhaps £1 and 10s (One and a half quid) unless two people wanted it in which case two and a half quid! It may even have been an iffy auction where a stooge was in the crowd bumping up the bids.
The wife must have been furious when he got home. The trouble is these are the people who get hooked in by 'phone calls from Nigerian princes who 'need a bank account to put some money in'. I find it quite sad.
@@thephilpott2194 true.
Smh. I think its neat as he'll.
Now let’s talk about how much you paid to move that piece of crap over here today. And back again.
🤣🤣🤣
When my parents got married in the late 50s, the average 3-bed terraced house where they lived in London was £500, now selling for closer to £500,000
I very much doubt it was that low. The average in the UK was nearer 2000GBP by the late 50s.
The year I was born, 1950, my parents paid £2000 for a newly built three bedroom semi. .. not London, the 'provinces'.
guess real estate was a better investment
@@resnonverba137 £2000 sounds about right, average weekly wage in 1950 was £7, or £364 per year.
It’s crazy, I know someone who just sold a 2 bed terraced in Walthamstow for £650k
400 after all those years? Damn! couldn't believe it's only 4000. I mean its fine, I'll sell it in auction for 40000
He's like the opposite of my Dad when I was a kid.
"Dad, can I have a Pound?"
"80p?! I don't think I've got 60p, what do you want 40p for anyway? You can't get anything for 20p" 😂
LOL i love this video, his reaction at the end.. you can just imagine him going home afterwards and tearing up all the bahamas holiday brochures that he'd been looking through hahahaha... never has a dream laid in so many tatters lmao!
Yeah then kicking the sixth out of that thing
One of the few times I'm sure his wife was right
Hahaha! 😂
He apparently has got another 60 of them in his attic back home.
Aw bless him 😢 he thought he was about to cash in his nest egg.
That was a lot of money in the 50s. In 1964 i started my apprenticeship with GEC and my weekly wage was 2 pound ten shillings.
I was apprenticed to a jewish tailor and was paid 1pound 4 shillings and 6 pence for a 44 hour week. That was in 1955.
@@seeifficare Ah. I remember tbe 44 hr work week. I think it got dropped about mid 64
“My goodness, after all those years”. IS THAT ALL ?
Was not aware that Terry Thomas was an antiques expert.
🤣😄😆😂 "I never heard the likes..." Reminds me of my Grandfather. God bless his soul.
He waits 50 years to learn he's been conned.
When he bought this..he walked off without the ship... 😆
hehehe, he bought them all and walked away with the one
@@shanefsr6609 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:20 Sounds like the guy from the "Monster Mash" song.
"Theeeeey did tha moooooooonsta mash. It was uh graaaaaaveyard smaaaaash"
I knew some antique auctioneers and they told me after a run of TV programmes they get people thinking there is money to be made. They said, if they just follow what is on TV without detailed study of antiques they buy the outcome is not good.
They bring the items back for resale over the next 6 months and their investment dwindles to zero and they never see them again.
Not surprised he got stung. What could you do with it, bar park it on your landing until you move house.
Yikes, back then that was equivalent to him spending £1658. 80 that sucks for him
Correction: £1658. 85.
Top googling
When the guy said between 2 and 3 he thought he was going to say thousand 😂😂😂😂
*hundred thousand
I ain’t never heard the likes.
Reminds me of the Harry Enfield sketch. The shop is named 'I saw you coming!'
"Is that all?"
"Yep"
"My goodness, after all those years!"
ROFLMFAO
"What about my Beanie Babies?"
Got ripped off, held a toilet for 50 years believing it would be worth more and got less than he paid for it.
This guy never paid what he said.
Thats what I thought for a scot
I know that man! Sold Ray Milland a pack of smokes in "The Uninvited"
Dont just empty the dirty potty over the side of the ship into the Sea Toss the whole Ruddy thing over and let Davey Jones have it.
In other words someone saw him coming back then and thought "Now here's a way to make a easy quick buck... He, he".
I think he picked this up for nothing a couple of days before the show came to town.
hehehe, found it by the dumpster on the way there
I bet my grandparents watched this episode. Miss you always X
Laugh, I cried 😂😂😂
He wasn’t at all surprised, that clever old fox😂👍🏼good for him 👏🏼
Id like to see more real reactions like that!
@goddessofdrow it's not the exchange rate of pounds to dollars - it's the value of a pound in the 1950s against the value of a pound now.. the pound was marked WAY down since the 1950s - he basically LOST money..
This guy is the "Dammit Katleen" guy in 50 years.
Absolutely love the man's reaction. Brilliant lol.
Back in the 1950s for £50 he should have got the whole ship with it as well.
Finally! An honest response 😂😂
They need to sell these in Walmart. Maybe if they did, they could get their customers to wash their asses occasionally. (Let the hate begin)
Lol. Why on earth would someone hate on this gem?
I remember when 'not the nine o clock news' did antiques roadshow in Peckham, very funny.
Kid goes to his old man: "dad i need 20 bucks."
Dad says: "15 bucks!, what do you need 10 bucks for?"
That would be worth more in Los Angeles! It’s a utilitarian piece! People pay for this type of antique, maybe he got a better offer for it!
