Bring treasures to TV valuation
3:41pm Saturday 12th July 2008
BRIC-A-BRAC collectors can get a free valuation of their goods when BBC show Flog It! comes to Basingstoke.
A team of experts from the afternoon antiques show, presented by Paul Martin, will give free valuations to anyone who comes to The Anvil on July 30, between 9.30am and 4.30pm.
James Lewis, partner at the Bamfords auction house in Derby, and independent valuer Catherine Southon will be on hand to give punters prices for their valuables.
A selection of lots will be filmed by the crew and their progress will be charted as they go under the hammer at the Andrew Smith & Sons auction house, in Alresford, on Tuesday, September 9.
BBC bosses hope to film enough people for three separate programmes from the day in Basingstoke, and presenter Paul Martin will film three small features about the heritage of the town.
