Don’t care , the person is out and about trying to make a coin and I’m ok with that .

[@alangrynich3615]

The reason some people dont want to be filmed is because unfortunately a lot of programmes about antiques of the last 20 years or so have not helped the trade unfortunately the TV only concentrates very much on the money side of things and they never mention about the experience and knowledge which has to be built up over years if the public really had a clue how a lot of these programmes are made they wouldn't watch as it has nothing to do with reality. The antique trade is a wonderful and fascinating business and it is about time all the constant TV shows stopped as they are doing it to death.

[@MichaelSheffield-ox8yd]

Such a gent, David. Marvelous show.

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thank you Michael

[@OriginalNethead]

If you're in between them and a sale, I can thoroughly understand being asked to move on. OTOH sometimes here they're afraid of the Tax Man finding out what they're up to, since a lot of sales are for cash. (no arguments from me there either!)

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Thing is, dealers being on camera, showing knowledge, passion and great objects actually improves sales, as people who watch the videos get to know them…ask anyone who appears on my channel!

For example, I paid £2 for a vintage Liverpool goalkeeper's jersey and sold it for £80 on eBay. A vintage East German typewriter from the same charity shop paid £50 and sold it on eBay for £100. Job lot of Epson ink cartridges for £10 sold the lot for £60. I've also bought from my local council recycling shops and made money from the purchases. The car boots I go to are always busy with punters looking out for a bargain as well as the dealers of course.

There could be a 100 people there with their phones out taking pictures and filming stuff and there's nothing he can do about it apart from intimidating people like you. It's in a public space you have every right to point your camera wherever you want to. He would be better off locked away at home selling his tat through Ebay and Vinted.

I was watching an old episode of “Market Warriors” (sort of the US version of Road Trip), and they were told they couldn’t film in one of the antique buildings at a big antique fair because the dealers don’t like decorators and companies seeing their wares and copying the ideas in a cheaper way…. interesting!

[@rooroob]

“Market Warriors” was canceled many years ago, but was a good show. It’s available on KZbin (at least in the States).

[@DavidHarperAntiques]

Yes, very interesting. I’ll take a look at that

[@OriginalNethead]

Really old now. I watched it when it was on and laughed at the so-called experts. I think one person made a profit once, but never again.

It should be illegal to film people PERIOD without permission!! All the keyboard warriors who have zero get up and go going on about taxes and crap!! That's what's wrong in the UK these people filming have NO permission and NO respect for people's privacy..the BS about oh its only film for my youtube channel!!

No excuses..the mainstream tv has insurance and public liability consent forms pre arranged..this amateur filming is everywhere and it's wrong on all levels of privacy..

[@WhataboutTRUTH]

Free advertising for a seller should be welcomed unless the seller had something to hide.or perhaps ashamed off 😱😱😱😱😱

[@retroclickmedia4422]

So many professional dealers are fed up with television and how it has ruined the trade, even 25 years ago I had a sign in the window of my shop "No film crews". You may not realise but the price for an item is determined before filmng along with the vast discount. In the real world 15% is the most any dealer can discount not the 40% and 50% we see on TV. And it is TV, these programes are for entertainment - the question has to be asked that if the specialists (they are no where near antiques experts, after 40 years in the trade this is clear to me and most other dealers) were any good at their job why would they need to do TV? These programes are cheap to make and easy to sell over the world, in no way do they reflect the real antiques trade - who would buy at a market and sell at auction when the item was probably bought at an auction originally? This is why dealers do not want to be a part of this farce and 90% of those that you do see on TV are either new to the trade or hobbyists.

[@jamesclayton3388]

In a public space you have a right to film. One can understand some people are camera shy. They actually may draw more attention to themselves 🤔.

[@RadioJonophone]

I have filmed flea market stalls and similar at transport festivals in the past. I am aware that some people prefer not to be included. I can tell by their body language, or by prior conversations. The ones that amuse me are those who are out of shot but having spotted the camera come right up to the lens, demanding not to be filmed. If that's what they wanted then why walk up to a man with a camera? I always try to observe people's dignity and desires when filming in public.
