The narrator loves the sound of his own voice. Talk about destroy the surprise and the suspense! We want to hear the auctioneer and see how high the item climbs, not get told in the voice-over which totally kills any fun to be had stone dead.
About two months ago I was taking the rubbish to my apartment building complex. Someone was dumping an oil painting. I looked at the back and it had a gallery sticker which read, £1500, Jose Herrera and title Gerrera Assis. I looked up the artist and saw he was quite well known. I took it to a dealer who valued it at auction at $600-800 (Australia) but two weeks ago at auction it sold for $2,400! Trash to treasure! Bernie
For those of you who’ve never watched Bargain Hunt before, this kind of sell is REALLY rare. The pure joy of a British basement antiques fair is that it’s mostly tat that will barely pull a profit at auction half the time, yet you all feel like you’re David Dickinson, haggling for collectibles and stuff. My defining memory of the show was an antiques “expert” advising an indecisive couple to purchase a hideous mock-ceramic garden gnome water feature for £180 (down from £250) because his great aunt had one or something, and it sold at auction for £30. The coveted “Golden Gavel” doesn’t happen often.
Bargain Hunt is all staged. The contestants don't get to pick the items for auction. My friend and I were flight attendants on a layover and saw them taping a show in Lewes. We spoke with the host and producer. They wanted us to go on the show. We were so excited. But later found out that it's faked. We would have had to fly from the US to the UK to tape a show. Too much effort for a fake contest.
The only problem with the Faberge flowers, though, is that they weren't bought by contestants. Those are just part of one of the side stories the show tells to pad the time out to half an hour. And also please, for the love of god. Christina Trevanion's name has been spoken hundreds of times over the years on Bargain Hunt. You couldn't listen to someone else pronouncing it before absolutely butchering it?!
I recall, in the early years when David Dickinson was in charge, an old and tatty wooden box (I think it was from the 1600s) which went for a price in the £000s. I don't think that it had actually been bought for sale by either team, but it had been picked up on in the sale room by David to see how much it went for.
Yes, ultra annoying voice over, by a complete twonk. He ruins the video by also giving the sale prices before the auctioneer announces them. Like reading the last page of a book before you start, or giving away football results before showing the highlights. This idiot obviously hasn't got a clue, to go with that droning monotone voice.
I know they featured it on a 'special' but the Faberge at the end was not a BH find, bit out of place in this list. The clay teapot is, I think, still the biggest cash profit, though some of smaller items may be bigger % returns.
I used to crack up on this, watch the entire episode and they always either lost money or broke even and the expert was always so excited if they were up by even a fiver lol I miss this show so much and seriously need to get uk tele here in Germany before I go mental
Have you done a video of greatest finds on Antiques Road Trip? There have been some pretty staggering profits there, too, though perhaps not enough for a whole video.
🌟 😆 I love when they buy a lampshade and it makes a great profit though Tim Wonnacott says the decorations on it look like they're out of a Christmas cracker 😆 🌟
I don't think that No 1 actually counts, as it was not bought by one of the teams with £300 to spend: it was part of a lot that had been put up for sale at auction privately!
These big wins at the end were not part of the TV show, they were about a rare find for the auctioneers so a bit if a click bait, a little bit of a misleading draw in imho.
I hate it when a stall holder has knocked a good chunk off the asking price giving the contestants a really good deal yet the ungrateful tight-fisted contestants (or the so-called expert) want the item at an even cheaper price. I'm hoping to see a stall holder on Bargin Hunt telling such contestants and experts to piss off. There was a Bargain Hunt episode at an open air flea market where the stall holder was a young woman tired from standing there all day having set her stall up early in the morning. She'd already reduced an item to a give-away price for the contestants but the snobby Kate Bliss began intimidating the young woman by saying things like, 'I'd be happier if you could sell it for a lower price.' You could see the upset and shivering young woman wanted the Bargain Hunt team to just go away and so she let Bliss have the item for pennies. Shame on Bargain Hunt experts and contestants who go to such lengths to squeeze the last drop out of a stall holder. What takes the biscuit is how proud the contestants and 'experts' feel at ripping off a stall holder.
@@marknadj9452 Bargain (noun): A thing bought or offered for sale much more cheaply than is usual or expected. Bargain (verb): Negotiate the terms and conditions of a transaction. If you think that in Bargain Hunt it's ok for the contestants or the experts to badger/browbeat/harass/intimidate or railroad the seller for an even lower price after the seller has offered them a really good bargain price then you've missed nothing. That's normal for someone with a bullying mentality.
A notable omission from the list is a vase found by expert Philip Serrell. I can't remember what he paid, but I seem to remember it achieved a profit of around £600. I've been unable to find a video of the auction, but I've never forgotten it.
yea the team had spent £30 buying tat was at -£25 and Philip Serrell came in with a piece or royal worcester that he paid £170 saying the mantra "Quailty will always sell" and the smug look he gave when sold for £800+
David Harper got the ash tray as a bonus buy, it wasn’t chosen by him and the team. Same with the Cockerel Tea Cosy. Yet another error - do your research!
If you ever do the worst buys, I think you should include the episode I appeared on… we bought Meccano thinking we would make hundreds, but we lost hundreds! 😢
@@gracieamazing2076 no, the expert only buys the ‘expert buy’ which we find out on the auction day. What we bought was our choice, in fact our expert, Caroline, hated the items we got! The only thing we weren’t allowed to buy were things that were branded. For example, we wanted to buy a small Mr Peanut statue but weren’t allowed. The directors actually spend a lot of time during the filming considering if the item we were looking at was okay, so for an hour that we get finding items, it actually took 2 hours 30 mins to film, with half the time the directors/producer debating stuff, and all the extra camera shots. Great experience though and lots of fun
That was ridiculous, the drama is in the auctioneer saying the bid, if you want us to watch the video all the way to the end, what's the point of telling us the price in the script.
They actually have several hours, you are playing by what the show tells you, same with these other shows 1 hour changeover, or these renovation shows, even with everything going perfect you can't paint plastered walls a few hours later, these shows have died out because they played on bullshit!
Instead of spending licence payers money. Let's have a new programme called 'GET YOUR WALLET OUT '. Contestants would be personally responsible for their losses at auction. 🤔😁
It has to be remembered that professional antiques dealers (not TV ones and not auctioners) need these sort of results 6 - 8 times a week. It can be done but you need to do your time and learn. As usual TV is not reflecting real life.
This would be far better without the commentary; auctions are exciting but not when someone has told you the result before they start. A really interesting compilation of items spoiled to the point of it being unwatchable by the way mojo has presented it.
I've been a big fan of this show for many years. I was viewing on old ep recently - with Tim W hosting - with Natasha Raskin as one of the experts. As they auctioned her contestants' items she was almost uncontrollable. Waving her hands, jerking about and laughing and smiling at every word or movement by the auctioneer. In contrast the contestant was quite subdued and a bit perplexed. Now, for the record, I'm also a fan of Natasha's, but wonder if she is using some form of medication that creates this troubling behaviour. (I've seen it a number of times.)
I find it hard to believe that this channel has 727 thousand subscribers, and they can't find a narrator that doesn't sound like Daffy Duck with a nasal disorder.
Why do contestants have to do these silly challenges? Instead of being able to choose 3 items their own choice is restricted to one item. Having to spend at least £75 on something they might not want or something art deco, ceramic, wooden etc. spoils the nature of the programme.
The point of getting them to spent at least £75 on something is to make it more difficult to potentially find an item which will make a profit. I think most people can buy something for £5-10 and it will no doubtedly make a profit of some kind, even £12 or something, but it's much harder to find something expensive and actually be confident there could be some profit there.
In one episode they had letters written by a member of the royal family and just because a royal had written them they were worth thousands according to a valuer 😂😂😂😂 just because a royal written them if anybody else had they be in the bin must of been written by hand of god how pathetic
These days the awful Wonnacott has been relegated to narration, a narrative he thinks is amusing (and he often laughs at his own 'wit'); but he is just intrusive and though the bbc did all it could to get rid of him, he manages to spoil the show. Bargain Hunt is now for the chop, sadly, not least due to the boring old men who keep trying to make the show about them.
Nobody finds items like these in charity shops or car boots anymore because of tv shows like Bargain Hunt, now people know what their bric-a-brac is worth

The Fabergé flowers were NOT found on Bargain Hunt .They were just an example of things people have found or acquired .
Absolutely correct
Very rare a winning team actually makes a profit, usually it is whoever made the smallest loss.
About two months ago I was taking the rubbish to my apartment building complex. Someone was dumping an oil painting. I looked at the back and it had a gallery sticker which read, £1500, Jose Herrera and title Gerrera Assis. I looked up the artist and saw he was quite well known.

Did you sell at auction yourself then? you kept the profit?
I remember once when dickinson was host 2 fellas paid £60 for a brass log chest everyone scoffed at it and it sold for over £600 absolutely amazing
For those of you who’ve never watched Bargain Hunt before, this kind of sell is REALLY rare.

Perfectly summarized
No duh. We don't need you to tell us. We're not expecting every team to profit a billion pounds in every episode, lol.
Bargain Hunt is all staged. The contestants don't get to pick the items for auction. My friend and I were flight attendants on a layover and saw them taping a show in Lewes.

But, if you play your cards right...
I know that's a different show.
Baring in mind, they only have 60 minutes which goes like the wind.
Nothing will ever beat the cockerel tea cosy 🤣

I remember the episode with the racing game, that was amazing.

I don't think that it had actually been bought for sale by either team, but it had been picked up on in the sale room by David to see how much it went for.
I remember that box!
The extremely annoying narrator seems to have a problem pronouncing Christina Trevanion's name. It seems that he's never even watched the show.
Yeah I agree, he hasn't watched the show as he said the profit " was not bad for a few hours shopping".
You don't get " a few hours"..
Only ONE....

All through this video, I was going wheres the brown Tea Pot, that one stuck with me for some reason, such a great find.
How to win on Bargain Hunt:
1. Go to car boot sale
2. Buy the ugliest thing you can find-the uglier, the better
3. Profit
That teapot looked 👌👍👍
I thought that as well.
I recall a vase, painted by Harry Davis, which was found by Phillip Serrell as a bonus buy and I know it sold for hundreds - was it around £600?
I thought that was going to be number 1...Not the Faberge which had nothing to do with Bargain Hunt
I used to crack up on this, watch the entire episode and they always either lost money or broke even and the expert was always so excited if they were up by even a fiver lol I miss this show so much and seriously need to get uk tele here in Germany before I go mental

That tea pot was stylish tho 😊be a nice tattoo 😂😂
I still remember in the David Dickinson hosted era a brass trunk bought at £60 ish went for £1800 !!!!
Should do the top 10 items sold antiques road trip.
The Faberge Flowers were NOT a Bargain Hunt purchase. Shame on you WatchMojoUK for the misleading clickbait title.
So nice to see Tim Wonnacott again.
No it isn't. He cheapened the show - much better with the experts as guest hosts and back to how David presented.
These big wins at the end were not part of the TV show, they were about a rare find for the auctioneers so a bit if a click bait, a little bit of a misleading draw in imho.
Now that's some leftover lolly!

a lot do the footage gets placed in bin
I notice there's no commission deducted from the final auction price
Well its essentially a game....
Christian Trevennion??? Christina Trevanion. is the lady's name.
This video must really hurt the people who sold the items to the teams in the first place. So much potential profit they could've had!
That’s life.

Yeah I remember that , was it a royal Worcester ?
@@sanchez-ro6gl I think so. It had a handpainted scene with some sheep and a rock.

Do a show on the top (bottom?) ten losses.

When is Tim Wonnacott not just full of hot air though..
And wears a wig
I wonder if the contestants received the profit from the Faberge items. £340,000.00 WOW
Would be nicer watching the auctions instead listening the audio explanation 😕
Those people who sold it to them must’ve been gutted when they saw this. 💀
The teams only have 1hr to shop not the several hours as quoted.

better go up the loft and seehow much that rubber duck worth ? o.m.g he actually said that to try and be funny mae my toes curl it was that bad
More bidding scenes with a surprise ending bid.
One mans trash is another man's cash 👌
I don't think any Faberge was made in the UK was it? And this was not a Bargain Hunt find. Just featured on the program.

Far too much talking in this video. Also it would be nice to actually see & hear the bidding rather than just telling us what it sold for.
The fact you kept putting up the subscribe screen blocking out the show itself made me decide to move on.
I find it hard to believe that this channel has 727 thousand subscribers, and they can't find a narrator that doesn't sound like Daffy Duck with a nasal disorder.
Stop talking over everything and let us watch it. Once again someone has to make it all about them.
Rather listen to the show thn the commentary.
2:12
2:39
Typically Tim Wonnacott those noises! 😅
Too much chatting, and giving away the prices ruins it too.
Terrible video - less talking and show the actual auction clips. Plus your last item is not from the show
How did you mange to not tell the difference between Antiques Roadshow and Bargain Hunt. You literally used 9+ clips of Bargain Hunt.
Tim Wanacott was sacked for being rude and abrasive to the BH production team back in 2015. No surprises there then...
I have a Michelangelo painting that I bought direct from the artist. I also have a Bible signed by the author.
😀 i own a bridge in NYC, bought it cheap from the internet will go well with my Nigerian castle

How about you stop talking and just show the clips.....
I find the narrator to this video really annoying. I wonder if he's the sort who ruins a film by telling you the plot of what happens next.
Too much talking. You don't really see the auction results.
Do the producers tell them not to yell out,scream etc at auction - they're in a SALE ROOM. Show some decorum.
Silly voice over
looks like you've blurred out a sex toy in the thumbnail lol
Click bait at its best 😮
this is a hard watch... too much commentary
Do you Have to tell us how much profit they get, before THEY tell us ? , its seriously annoying..
Can't watch as ruined by the narrator trying to be commercial radio deejay.
Incredible find is not £140 profit.
You talk way to much sunshine and spoil the video

Contestants introducing themselves? Not a good idea. Loud, overacted and seriously amateurish. Previous format please. 😊
Any chance of just letting us watch the video without you waffling on and on and on and on.....
just what I thought...and only saying things which we can all say after it has happened!
Not worth watching. None of the auctions are shown.
