'Cash In The Attic' - does anyone agree that they are underpciing the antiques and robbing the sellers?

I've just watched an elderly lady with fabulous antiques letting them go for a song!!! The lady didn't seem to be too convinced about the low prices but the presenters obviously need to sell things in order to have a programme. And Lorne Spicer, the presenter, - chav or what? She's a real Essex girl - what qualifies her to go rummaging about people's homes and flogging off their family treasures for a pittance?

To me some of them are been ripped off
I cant stand Lorne Spicer - if she came into my house looking down her chavvy nose at me, spewing out her stuck up comments I'd punch her. The woman has no class, no dress sense and all she's interested in is getting into Marks pants xxxxxx
The prices go on what people want to buy right now. It's a sad fact that the collectable market is a fickle beast and things worth thousands today can be worth hundreds in a few years time. Good call on Lorne Spicer though, she reminds me of an Umpa Lumpa
Yes, I agree,you can also tell by the peoples faces, that they would of rather not sold them.
i agree with you. i think there's a lot of beneficial information passed on
Keep in mind it is was in vogue or popular right now. Sometimes I think some of the appraisers over price their estimate. It would also seem some of the auction houses they don't get good prices because the buyers aren't there. I know they put special lots in "specialized" auctions which sometimes does better. You would think they would know where the better auctions houses are. Wouldn't you? Nothing much qualifies her it seems. The male host seems a bit better and more uninformed but, it makes it nicer to watch. I have not cared much to watch the shows with Miss Spicer. The older lady should have had a younger relative acting as a guide. Then again, it depends on how desperate she was for the money. And she could always put a "reserve" price or minimum acceptable bid.
