E09 - The German Mandolin & The Harry Potter Wands

This week Harry’s not prepared anything to talk about because he was at a Coldplay gig, watching some people on exercise bikes power the stage. That means it’s up to Simon to carry the podcast….oh dear. Listen in for stories on doing a house clearance at Windsor Castle, Simon’s wild shopping habits, the Mouseman furniture motherload, and how a photo of Carrie Fisher turned into one of the sweetest auction stories.

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. Music from Lemonmusicstudio Production by David Burd
