The popular BBC2 antiques programme, Flog It, presented by Paul Martin, is coming to Banbury this June. The Town Hall, Bridge Street, Banbury will be hosting the Flog It Valuation Day. Rather like a treasure hunt, members of the public are invited to bring along the antiques and collectables they might be interested in selling. Once valued, the owner and team of experts decide whether it should go forward for auction. If the item is chosen it is sold a few weeks later – often with the owner making a tidy sum. Everyone who goes along to the Valuation Day will receive a valuation – even if their antiques are not chosen to go forward for auction. Previous programmes have seen a small cream jug sold at auction for £1,300; a ceramic bowl, bought for £4 at a car boot sale, achieving £1,500; and a lady in Aberdeen sold a Shelley tea set for a huge £3,400! So if you've ever wondered how much those boot sale bargains or clutter in the loft might be worth, now is your chance to find out.
Presented by Paul Martin, Flog It will be at The Town Hall, on Sunday 3rd June 2007 from 9.30am until 4pm. The auction will take place on 11th July 2007 at the Jones & Jacob, The Barn, Ingham Lane, Watlington, and will be broadcast as part of the sixth series later in the year. |
