Find out how much is salvaged from building renovations, why reusing is always a better option than recycling, and why Adam thinks the government is hesitant to go all in on salvaging materials and reusing them. As well as that there’s the usual jokes, panic from one of your hosts, and chat about passions away from the auction house.

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.
