Flog It comes to CAMBRIDGE
The popular BBC2 antiques programme, Flog It, presented by Paul Martin, is coming to the De Vere University Arms, Regent Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 1AD on Sunday 19 March 2006 there is a valuation day.
Flog It – the major BBC2 antiques series – regularly gets an audience of 2 million viewers each weekday – around 25% of the television audience.
De Vere University Arms 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.
Paul if often accompanied by his long-haired German Shepherd, Bluebelle, who has become almost as well known as him. If she is not present, Flog It fans are sure to ask why
