Dear David Harper, I love your new show. Thank you for the hours and hours of U. K. antiques shows you've entertained us with. Please tell all of your co-experts how much we LOVE them as well? Subscribe button pushed!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

That’s so kind and I will tell them of course! Thanks for watching! Best wishes, David

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

The next episode will be ready to see on Sunday at 6.30pm. I’m also working on a classic car version. I’ll put the first show out on Thursday at 6.30pm

[@richardfrankland290]

It showed how little I know about antiques, but my guess for item five was spot on. An interesting idea David in a world that needs better entertainment than current television programmes.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers for that Richard. I’m really enjoying the freedom to develop the format. David

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

New show out on Sunday night at 6.30. This time, I’ll be giving multiple choice answers too!

Fun show I’ve been collecting pre-World War II Mickey Mouse and other comic characters for 35 years roughly and what you would call an expert but I have knowledge in all areas of antiques basically a walking encyclopedia I have a photographic memory and always make money on everything I buy would love to see you bring toys on the show now on the Neil Armstrong piece people love space stuff but the problem with it being is he signed a lot of photographs and it’s personalized if it was just a signature with something like best wishes it would do much better than with someone’s name on it I think it’s sold for 100 pounds I was way off wow , majolica vase 650 pounds wrong again dresser is 600 shabby crabby Chito chic people like ,I was wrong again but I did go higher than the estimate that came down to two people wanting it on the good luck Japanese flag I’m gonna get a little crazy Paul Ladlo Knows military stuff in general he wouldn’t put crap in his auction I’m gonna go crazy and say 800 pounds I’m probably wrong again. On the painting I’m gonna go 500 pounds OK I somewhat redeemed myself I was gonna say 600 but I’m like I already put that in on the dresser oh well always next time very fun show I’ll definitely subscribe and hit the notification bell

[@magarkouyoumdjian9722]

You got me with the kitchen unit ! Usually you can buy such ‘brown furniture’ for a pittance. Obviously the two bidders were like me, ie. when they want something, they must have it no matter what !

[@TheHardlove4u]

Ditto! Magar.

[@kathrynking6394]

First...love seeing your puppy!!! Just found these posts of yours and absolutely loving them!!! Thanks again for all your knowledge and sharing it with us. Your #1 FAN

[@nimblep3152]

Spot on with the painting However hopeless on the other 4 Nice one Dave keep it up Nimble

[@suzannetomlinson4206]

So turns out I'm better with ceramics! Great idea, good fun. Enjoyed it.

[@jamese.mambourg]

Great Show! Keep them coming. ( Rosie's rather nifty too! )!

[@timmcc1044]

Great to see you and the new channel. I've enjoyed watching you for years here in Tennessee, USA. Look forward to the future episodes and successful launch. Come on over to America and do some.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers Tim, all the best, David

[@theresashult2754]

What a fun idea for a video! I did well with the Neil Armstrong photo... seems like most of us saw that one as doing better than the valuation. I wasn't especially close with the others because I couldn't get past what I would pay rather than what someone else would pay... especially for the trashed out kitchen cupboard.

[@ianj6303]

Great fun, thanks David 🙂

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers Ian. Classic car version out tomorrow from 6.30pm and the next antique/vintage quiz Sunday from 6.30pm!

[@neilpaxton6998]

I did ok on the vase & Scarfe, nearish on the painting & way off on the other 2 items.

[@geoffhowlett]

We were a day late watching, but really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you David.

[@deniselovell1096]

I enjoyed it a lot but was way out in my estimates! I look forward to the next episode.

[@davidinnelli291]

I missed by a mile on them all 🙈. I must try harder. Great idea though. Good luck.

[@palerider4015]

Hi David....Love the concept . I thought I had a bit of an idea when it came to antiques. Turns out I’m absolute garbage. Didn’t get any right ! Nevertheless great fun. Looking forward to the next one. Have to say though mate, Rosie is the real star....a divas performance...striding off set that way. Only just stumbled across your KZbin channel. Got some catching up to do. Wishing you every success 👍

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers for that Pale Rider, much appreciated D

[@christracydixon3843]

Just to let you know that your job is quite safe David! Hubby and myself were almost useless, look forward to doing better on Sunday, really enjoyed it thank you

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

I’m relieved to hear it! Thanks for playing. D

[@sallyhinkley1177]

Beautiful portrait ... really a decorative piece ... £750 not signed ... hopefully not too out of the ball park

[@TheHardlove4u]

I sum what surprised myself, by getting very close to the selling prices but couldn't quite see any mark-up leeway for professional resale. The kitchen cabinet proved my desire for industrial distress overcoming my bargain hunt nature. Yes, I am a collector, maker and (was) prop buyer.

[@timcoventrycoyle1378]

Very enjoyable, even though I was way off!

[@panatteri]

Thank you David. I really enjoyed the program. Would it be possible to state the dimensions or get a sense of scale of the items you present? I was left wondering about this part with the ceramic and painting.

[@jackmccrory79]

Love watching your videos!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers Jack

[@JPConsultingServices]

“Smashed” the vase :) Otherwise I was hopeless. I’ll do better next week. Great fun, David!

[@bangyuk2]

This was fun. I’m looking forward to the next one.

[@colinwarren886]

Colin Warren I was rubbish with none out of 5. Can only get better. Many thanks David.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

You will I promise!

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Nice one David

[@maxnatoli5106]

Oh my David, I did terribly and missed everyone by a large amount. This was really hard but very interesting. Thanks for the challenge. I need to research better for future quizzes.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Good luck next time...thanks for watching!

[@maxnatoli5106]

@@DavidHarperAntiques yes, my goal is to get better each time. I'll keep you informed of my progress.

[@airybrook]

Loved it! First...outhouse means something different in the states. I was thinking that was some outhouse until I realized they are different. Second...I was 3 for 5. Third...I agree about not wanting an ugly man on my wall. Fourth...my only suggestion is to adjust the volume during the thinking music time. The music is quite a bit louder than the rest of the video. Fifth...is that your daughter singing? If so, her voice is beautiful. Well done.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thanks for watching Melanie, yes the music was a bit loud I discovered (my editing!) I’ll try to reduce it for this Sunday and yes, that’s my daughter Hetti. All the best, David

[@gracemcfadyean1072]

Great idea David, really enjoyed it even though I was rubbish!! xx

[@RossParker1877]

I got the first item bang on David. Was a bit wide with the rest! Enjoyed it though. Great first effort. Looking forward to next week.

[@DavidJohnGoode]

You got me with the big lump of a dresser. I thought £380!

[@runtube]

Good show

[@margaretscott7472]

Great idea David. I was near in first item but absolutely rubbish on painting, dresser, flag and vase. how about books as an idea or more ceramics and glass/

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Yes they’re all coming up on future shows !

[@janewillsart3134]

Had a feeling the dresser would make a big price . Might have been helpful to have the dimensions of the portrait but i was within £20 .

[@kristiemccoy3451]

I like the game. Fun and educational. Any chance a video on hallmarks? Thank you!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thanks Kristie

[@candysonnia]

Firstly keep Rosie in even if you have to glue her to the seat, being a modern artist I put more value on the space memorabilia but I was itching to transform the Victorian sideboard which almost looked pharmaceutical. Enjoyed the game, bravo, also appreciating the artwork behind you x

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Yes, Rosie is defo staying! Thank you Sonnia

[@abigailpine7607]

Hi David, loved the quiz - maybe you could have some vintage jewelry next time?

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

great idea...I will, thanks

[@christopherdoyle9074]

That's really tough but interesting

[@malcolmcobden1165]

Great idea, even if I am rubbish (shows Danny was the star when I was on Bargain Hunt!). Be great if it was live with you interacting with guesses between items. How about one really bad item that was worth next to nothing to catch us out? Will tune in again next week.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

yes, I’m thinking of something live, also possibly including viewers items somehow?

[@malcolmcobden1165]

That would be really fun and gets people joining in, especially to see what people think our item is worth. 👍

[@malcolmcobden1165]

We could send a photo of something we bought recently from auction and include the estimate and paid price for you?

[@alexneale2982]

Hi David, saw your advert on LinkedIn and came on one over, albeit late, so sorry for missing it live, well done on the move to post actively on KZbin I am sure you will do very well, just I guess it will take a bit of time before the algo bots do their job and start suggesting you up to people! But I reckon you will have 100k subscribers before you know it, and then onward and upward!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers Alex, much appreciated D

[@mikeriordan6940]

I was spot on for Neill Armstrong

[@christopherwelch1094]

Spot on for item 1

[@christopherwelch1094]

How about a themed show...vintage toys, music memorabilia, film related, modern collectibles, 50's, 60's retro....one theme a week. And you could have music relating to the item. Great idea for a lockdown Sunday.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

@@christopherwelch1094 Excellent, thank you...also fancy doing a car special !

[@christopherwelch1094]

@@DavidHarperAntiques great idea. And sport, Militaria, sci fi.

[@briandevine6099]

really enjoyed it David. I will blame my horrid performance on being American and those things being valued differently over here.... thats gotta be it :)

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

I promise, you’ll get better !

[@neilmaley9945]

Gawd! I'm rubbish! Photo I thought over £1000 Vase £800 Dresser £180 Flag £80 to £100 (hoooooorah!!!) Painting £3500! BUT I'll learn from you!! Great idea for a youtube show! :)

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

You’ll get better!! Cheers, D

[@davidrennie2243]

Great Video David, I collect Royal Memorabilia, can you feature something of this in a future eposide

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

yes, a royal memorabilia can really catch people out...good idea!

[@ianpinion4997]

Double the actual value on the first item, a £100 over on the second, I went £20 below the lower estimate on the sideboard (so way out there), spot on with the Japanese flag because I thought there would be loads of them like this example and double the value of what the painting actually sold for. Unless you have a rich knowledge of antiques and likely to be working as an auctioneer/dealer already, I suspect a lot of people will simply be putting their finger in the air and hazarding a complete guess.

[@mikeriordan6940]

I was out a bit on the vase, reminds me of chocolate mint

[@carolinesmith6015]

Very enjoyable; I did surprisingly ok with my valuations! My constructive feedback is to change the music during the 15 second interval to something softer, also to show different views of the items to help hold interest and give us a deeper insight. Good format though. :)

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thanks Caroline D

[@bburnett1323]

I was spot on for the 1st item, then everything went downhill...pretty far off the sale price! Good bit of fun for a Sunday evening.

[@mediaprof6328]

I was correct on the Neil Armstrong photo. What fun.

[@sallyhinkley1177]

OMG what a high price for this dresser - way out !

[@leecobourn6214]

Wow, I can’t believe how bad I did. Brilliant idea though, great fun.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Cheers Lee...try episode 2!

[@leecobourn6214]

@@DavidHarperAntiques well I thought I was ok at these but episode two just kicked my arse 🤣 not even close.

[@mikeriordan6940]

Well out on the dresser, I suppose Drew Pritchard would have bought it in some back shed

[@DavidJohnGoode]

Great stuff. Only comment is that the incidental music was much too loud.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

sorry, that’s my editing skills!

[@deborahhamlett8768]

I thought the dresser was about 2000 pounds🤪I LOVE IT

[@PeterCombs]

got them all within 10%

An outhouse in American is an outdoor 🚽 water closet, potty...loo 🤣

[@DavidJohnGoode]

I think we can see why I’m not in the antiques business!

[@mikeriordan6940]

One out of five, and a near miss, oh well next time

[@mediaprof6328]

I was on the nose on the vase, which is ugly IMHO despite the connection with Dresser.

[@wystan1000]

Possible silly question. Would one consider the total (plus commission) price to be the actual value of the item to the buyer (should we add 20-30% to all items sold at auction in our heads?)

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Yes I’d say so because buyers build in to their calculations the commissions on top of the hammer price.

[@wystan1000]

İnteresting. thanks!

[@fjd4489]

Sorry, I can't get past the basket. x

[@DavidJohnGoode]

Whoops!

[@mikeriordan6940]

Paintings are subject to each person, I prefer landscapes and scenes

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Did anyone get one or two spot on?

[@brido5]

My wife and i played this between us we got the last item correct. I guessed £600, my wife guessed £160 😂 close on the first item but way off on the rest. Will watch again next week 👍

[@BassamAndari]

I got the vase and the flag almost right with around £20 difference. I was wrong on the rest. Having watched Phillip Serrel's buying and selling style on antique shows I shouldn't have underestimated the kitchen cupboard :-(

[@JPConsultingServices]

Yep! The vase… probably a fluke, though

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

@@fionam2823 Thanks for the feedback Fiona. Another one tonight at 6.30!

[@Neil2022]

Do we post the estimates? Or we just learn more!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Do both ! Post how you’re doing or suggestions for items in future shows!

[@kristiemccoy3451]

I think she is beautiful! I put 1K - 1500. But I love it!

[@sallyhinkley1177]

Said £500 for Neil

[@sallyhinkley1177]

But this is quite large so I would guestimate that it reached £550 dresser

[@mediaprof6328]

Too high on the prayer flag. Too low on the portrait. The frame was worth more than the portrait, which looked restored. Thanks for a fun challenge.

[@staryjdido918]

Is that a lion cub ???

[@mikeriordan6940]

£800 for the bench

[@mikeriordan6940]

£500 for the painting

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

The Yanks love the first thing! So I was wondering if there was American bidding They would pay $5000 for that! yes, I watch Pawn stars and some others , sad as I am . I watch them dubbed into Spanish, with Spanish subtitles, becuase that is where I live and it helps me learn the language. Breakfast telly! Better than watching Piers Morgan storm off, all chins awobble!

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

International bidding these days, so lots of Americans buying in UK auctions...thanks for watching! D

$750 for the photo.

[@sallyhinkley1177]

£700 for the Vase?

[@DavidJohnGoode]

Painted lady 175

[@missartsyful]

$600 pounds on the vase

[@rockmoc]

ok you asked for feedback? - You asked us to "come up with your own valuation" but thats not the game. The game seems to be based on how many auctions I have seen or seen the results of and how many items i can remember the price of. If you are looking to get a gameshow off the ground this is not it IMO. Someone in the thread mentioned interaction with experts so, how about a guest expert plays against a member of the public, they are both given an item to value the Item then goes to auction and the closest wins the difference between their estimate and the actual sale value (excluding fees). The expert plays for a charity. you are welcome
