E10 - The Salty Sea Dog & The Half Eternity Ring

How do you fit a cow with rigour mortis into the back of a car? What on earth is a half eternity ring? And what will happen when the seagulls finally come for you? If you want to know the answers to these burning questions then this week's The Gavel and The Gabble is for you. Listen in for amusing anecdotes from auctioneers Harry and Simon on the rise of Airfix, Rob Becketts LEGO sets, and find out the more interesting ways customers have tried to take their purchases home.

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
