I could do with a tow rope

[hyperblue]

Creepy! Would be a bit odd having that in the house.

[Laurel Green]

Wouldn't have it in my outhouse but, each to their own.

[GTIR]

I'm sure the presenter wimin said the dealers don't know what order they are seen in?



I'm pretty sure they do. Particulary the first and last ones.

Emma Hawkins..Ding Dong!

Verily on high!

According to her biography, she's big into taxidermy, particularly exotic animals. linky

She obviously knows a thing or two about mounting and stuffing and I'll wager that she's seen a cockatoo.

[Mr E Driver]

She looks older than 23, I wonder if she is a 20/day?

That article is 16 years old now

My mate is on this show next week... Offering something particularly macabre!

[Mr E Driver]

Ah that explains it, didn't look at the article date. Your mate was on with a hangmans rope...

Nah, next week. Book cover (now in a jar) made of tattooed human skin.

Was he friends with Mengele?

But the lads with the wall, I thought they were nuts to turn down £240k.

Thankfully not - he picked it up for a couple of quid at a car boot sale!

Those chaps were nuts, although I thought their negotiation skills were awful... They could have pulled that back. Unless they figured that they were actually going to be fine since they knew there was a guaranteed buyer out in the market willing to part with £275k...I'm sure they'll find each other

[Laurel Green]

Starting in two minutes.

3/8

The objets d'art that could fetch a handsome price in this episode are a Tracey Emin print owned by her twin brother, a macabre piece of tattooed skin pickled in a jar, a rare Beatles poster from the 1960s, and a vintage, penny arcade electric-shock machine.

[Jasandjules]

I'm watching......

How I hate the Emin stuff... But I'm not good at that kind of art, I just think it's junk....

Has to be worth more than £1,600 though, surely?

Damn I missed the very start - what was the print limited to in numbers?

Looks like he shot his bolt big time anyway.

[Laurel Green]

Tad of a sick chappy now, me thinks.

[KP328]

Personally i think Emin relies on the name and not the quality of the art.

[Legacywr]

I knew he had sold that cheap!!
