At Windsor Auctions, they have coming up for sale a model of Starbug 1 from the iconic series Red Dwarf. The pair also explore various themes including a humorous anecdote about a bear that serves as a landmark, the excitement of discovering gold nuggets, natural and factory diamonds, and the impact of forest fires on a gold panner's life.

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.  Music from Lemonmusicstudio Production by David Burd Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
