The Auction House - Wed Ch4 8pm

[Bluedot]

Only caught up with this last night.
It's a new series, worth a watch if only for the characters on there and the absolute tat that the new 'uber rich' buy in the name of taste and fashion.

I agree. Mainly "ladies that lunch" and others who have too much money and too much time on their hands. Paying way over the odds just for the kudos, rather than giving serious thought to what they're doing.

That Russian woman is married to the perma-tanned guy who supposed to be in the car business. Anyone know who he is? He must be high-end of the market, with the amount of dosh his missus spends at that place.

That emerald and diamond ring seemed a steal at £1200

Well I'll be jiggered - did a search for the old thread on this only to be told it had been deleted?

Oh well, I guess it's a thanks for starting a new thread.

[Laurel Green]

What a nice willy.

[Legacywr]

I like this

It would seem the workers don't like it when Roger is away.

If this hair sells I'll eat my wooden leg.

Looks like your peg leg is safe LG.

[Laurel Green]

Phew!

[Bluedot]

I like that Major/General whatever he is bloke that runs the place. It seems you need someone slightly eccentric in places like that. But you do wonder why on earth he is there if he truly thought that a piece of Napolean's hair (not that it can be really substantiated) was going to sell for £10k!

[Laurel Green]

A belated heads up.

[Mr GrimNasty]

When they were at the horsey/developer house discussing what she was going to buy (elephant etc.), I could have sworn the lion, deer etc. already there was the stuff that was going to be in the same sale? Filmed out of sequence to make the program and cocked up or coincidence?

Bye bye Colonel Blink, nice guy but utterly useless!

A tad hasty me thinks though agree, he does seem to be out of his depth a tad.

Some terrible tat there this week.

[KP328]

That horse fountain thing is the epitome of chav tat.

[Mr GrimNasty]

Can't understand the crazy prices for the nasty cheap lightweight bronze and even resin statues etc.
You could probably import them from China for £50 each!

His demise wasn't helped by his colleagues, dog eat dog I guess.
