E53 The Best & The Worst of Part 4 - Episodes 26 to 30

It’s the summer holidays which means Simon and family are on their ninth vacation of the year, so it’s another best of including clips from the auction room and some amazing guests. Izzy Murtough tells us about selling a collection of historic Suffragette items, tips on buying, selling, and identifying gems, and a story about a very unusual piece of toast. Matt Dixon of TallBoy Interiors also joins us to chat how Instagram can help grow your business and his worst ever buys. Plus loads more interesting items and funny anecdotes.

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.
