Ever wondered how to spot a fake? Today on the podcast Harry and Simon will be telling you the work they have to do to verify the legitimacy of an item, who does what, and what happens when they find a fake. Harry also gives you some terrible advice…which legally isn’t advice…. On how to cheat your capital gains tax with gold coins.

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. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
