Thread Name: Flog It Wheatstone ~ £1,100!
Subject: RE: Flog It Wheatstone ~ £1,100!
Yes. Saw it.
I was screaming at the TV when the Klutz "so called" expert valued it at £150...Doh!!
Will never trust a so called expert on that show again. It was obviously worth over a grand..(I estimated £1300).
Even worse he just yanked the bellows open without using the air button..philistine!. A bit like taking a chisel to an antique piece of furniture to see what the wood is!!.
One day I'm going to take one of mine to an antiques roadshow, just for a laugh!
I wonder who he got the real valuation from? (which he revealed at the end of the auction looking really sheepish!)
Stephen Chambers? Chris Algar?
