Buying & Selling Antiques in auction with David Harper (Bargain Hunt, Antiques Road Trip, Flog It)

Buying & Selling Antiques in auction with David Harper (BBC Bargain Hunt, Antiques Roadtrip Flog It)
Come with me to an antiques auction and see if I can buy some fabulous pieces to make a profit on. Test your valuations against mine too let me know how much you would have paid? I’ll bid and try to buy every antique we look at. Anything I do buy, I’ll then sell on for a profit.
In this show, we discuss and bid on a massive collection of silver plated pieces, from tea pots to cocktail shakers, an art glass lamp and a 17th century antique oak coffer
With thanks to Thomas Watson Auctioneers in Darlington
Cheers
David Harper

What item would you love to buy in auction...for a bargain price of course!?

[@technodemic6258]

Love your enthusiasm and choice of items, Dave.

[@obesefeline]

Here in the states, that stuff would go for waaaaay more. You are so lucky!

When you were talking about the coffer I liked the art deco cabinet that was next to you. I have one very similar.

The coffer reminds me of what my great aunt kept her bedding in. She would be 122 if she was still alive today. She was lovely.

I would have gone up to a hundred on the silverplate lot…. The lamp form is gorgeous, a work of art…a real stunner. A miracle the shade is in such beautiful shape and original. Do you think the unknowns regarding maker resulted in the high purchase price, or did someone know something the auction house didn’t know? I wouldn’t have gone above 300. What an early coffer! The patina is wonderful. The basic construction is what endears it to me. How fascinating the info you provided on it, especially re the feet-I took a punt on the price, £300. Congrats on your purchase of it!!!!! Did you make a great profit? Cheers, Shae

[@kevinhodgson3565]

I so bed when you get out bid . But I'm glad you got the last lot you bid on

[@Emmalouisejames80]

The lamp reminded me of my great aunt as visiting her house made me feel like i was stepping back in time with the items she had there.

[@helenheeney2284]

Thanks!

Congratulations on the box ... brill buy

[@dougmcartin3881]

Well done on the coffer. Plenty of meat left on the bone for you there. Some days you just catch a bargain. There's just no predicting auctions. Stay well. ATB Doug.

[@margaretscott7472]

Was either under or over on all three items. Glad you got the coffer after the last two weeks with not getting the chairs. I guessed £100 for the coffer.

[@davehill584]

Hi David, we used to chat a decade or so ago. You didn't say how much it cost to get the coffer back to base. A steal at £65 :)

I once bought an antique from my boss at a garage sale, and I discovered it was worth ten thousand dollars. I started wondering if I should give it back, but then I decided against it because she's belittled me as a slow learner at work. She once questioned me for putting black linens on the tables for the wedding reception instead of white, the correct/usual color (but in my defense, we usually put on
