In this episode, Harry and Simon discuss their recent experiences and mishaps in the auction world. They start by talking about Storm Nelson and the damage it caused to Simon's beach hut. They then share a funny story about an inappropriate conversation about auctions during a doctor's appointment. They also discuss the challenges of dealing with traffic wardens and the attempted fraud they encountered in an auction.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
