You missed the Christmas party!

Plus, an emerald that a chap was asking a 100K for but, ended up taking 8K.

A swappage of bags.

A 50 foot boat moored at St Catherines dock with an asking price 200K but not sold.

A nice piece on one of our athletes wanting to raise money for children's charity (raised a thousand pounds).

Agreed, all very dull and staged I'm afraid.
Shame, I used to love this series and I'll probably still watch it but it really needs a shake up, all very predictable now.
Quick question though, with regards the boat they were trying to sell for £200k at St Katherines dock in London, presumably there would be some sky high mooring charges to keep it there ? Otherwise the £200k seems extremely good value for a London 'crash pad'.

Plus another £1k for electricity then by the looks of it, which I'm assuming they probably paid for.
Suddenly not such a bargain. rolleyes

New series begins tonight - C4 at 8pm.

James tries out a supercar. So we all know how that will turn out - he squeals orgasmically and offers a loan 3 times the value of the car.

James's missus buys some bags from some weird eccentric lady or one of her wannabe shleb friends

Random other item will be brought in for pawning

I'll still watch it though and thanks for the heads up thumbup

I love Ian. Subtle? Yeah of course he is smile Apparently he used to be a drag queen. I'd never have guessed. Oddly he never provides the valuations verbally in front of the camera - presumably he gives it a bit of thought and then puts it in writing. As you should - it's professional.

I agree that the show is formulaic.

Another formulaic episode last night. James always has to have a boys' toy to play with - not a supercar last night but a fire engine converted into a mobile bar. IMHO it had been very well executed and I reckon there's lots of potential there for festivals and the like. Next week it's a WW2 Daimler armoured car. He's like a little kid.

Usual designer handbags which the owner had trashed - the inside of one looked like somebody had puked in there. How the hell did she think they could sell it like that? Plus an autograph collection which was mainly auto-machine or secretarial-signed. Did he seriously think it doesn't go on?

I think I might delete my series link. Not interesting enough this series.

It has become predictable, scripted, and possibly faked at times, but still interesting to get a rough idea of what people are selling and paying.

It's a shame that this show has now jumped the shark.

At least half of the sellers are now recognisable 'characters' from other reality type shows. That fella with the Bentley , Chelsea, was on Big Brother last year and one of the clips for the next week showed someone else I recognised from other TV shows.

Basically they now seem to filling it with 'interesting' people (nope, I don't think so either) to make the show more sellable. Unfortunately once you realise this it breaks the veneer of reality and it becomes yet another Z-list celebrity wanna be advertisment vehicle.

Same as Storage Wars, as soon as you twig they are planting 'finds' it makes watching the programme a complete waste of time, it's just not real and there's no other value to any of the content.

I shan't be wasting my time on it again, you can't trust a single person, item, deal or price to be in any way real... so what's the point?
