    So bad it's embarrassing

    Not a bad idea but copied from Four Rooms and done on the cheap. The whole thing is charm free zone poor old Nigel Havers has sunk to this. The expert with his 'insider knowledge ' is clueless I dont know where they got him from but you might as well ask any man/ woman on the street who watched Bargain Hunt twice a year

    He doesnt even know the dates for Victorian and Edwardian stuff he is usually way way out in his valuations. The dealers arent a whole better they can only cope with the tatty show them anything good like a classy painting and they are out of their depth., What is it for? Take it away please!

    Pointless

    Probably one of the most pointless TV Formats ever devised. "I'll give you £20.... I'll give you £30 .....£35......Sold. How this ever got to air i do not know. There is no programme here. No substance. It has neither the interest of Antiques Roadshow, none of the mild excitement of an auction ....just a group of people making an offer. Go and watch the fish fry at your local chippie i would say...more interesting than this ill-conceived non-programme that has nothing going for it at all.

    Awful cheap daytime show

    This has everything that is truly awful about daytime television. Dealer's with no charisma. Participants you have no empathy with. It's like a cheap, cheap, cheap version of Flogit. Don't bother to tune in, you will be bored to death.

    Patronising

    A Very smug and patronising show

    I find this show to very patronising, the so called expert's all claim to love every item that gets brought on the show, but then they all offer an insultingly low amount , And most of them don't even offer anything,so what is the point of the show? To humiliate the participants?

    I don't have a problem with Nigel Havers, he's perfectly adequate in his role

    the problem is with the experts, they all appear smug and act like they are Better than the guest, I Also can't stand the fake fawning " ooh it's fabulous, this item is the best thing ever" then they offer £30

    Simon is really irritating and his predictable jokes add nothing to the show

    Another really irritating thing is when they ask the guest what they will do with the money,

    who really cares? Oh you're going on holiday? Or buying a car? Riveting information

    ,

    Only 1 bloke buys ?

    Addie is likeable the others are a waste o space If you go on with anything over 200quid forget it The main expert is useless
