First through the doors is Anne, with a saintly surprise. She is hoping that her polychrome carving of St Sebastian, who has stood proudly in her bathroom for many years, will tickle the fancy of the dealers. Next, Teneille from Manchester has brought in a family heirloom. In a cupboard, her mum has discovered two vintage bakelite telephones that would have been party to some very interesting conversations in their time. Carol has some Chinese fortune sticks that she’s keen to sell on, and Steve is selling an iconic piece of British rock ‘n’ roll history: some plywood boards that lined the dressing room walls of London’s famous Marquee club and were signed by an array of seminal rock bands.

Nigel Havers presides as members of the public with interesting items to sell come face to face with five dealers who bid against each other to try to bag themselves a bargain. Before facing the dealers, each seller has their item valued by auctioneer Simon Bower. Simon also gives them top tips on the history and key characteristics of their piece, so that when they enter the bidding room, they have all the information they need to try to haggle the best possible price from the dealers. All the dealers are spending their own money but have no idea what the sellers have brought in.
