Just watched DD and had to check your site out. We have had all sorts of antiques mounting up here for years and the problem being they havent gone on ebay since we have no idea of their value and we cant take them to an antique dealers for a valuation since the nearest 1 is quite far away. Glad I found the site, because i'll be sure to raid the loft and use this site to get things valued :D I agree with everyone else. Just watched DD and had to check your site out.

I thought this was a fantastic idea. I have been contemplating getting some items valued but really had no idea to go about it and who to trust. Your feature on DD was excellent and I am pleased you managed to get 2 dragons on board. Well done Patrick, I will be using this site and recommending it. Have just watched DD.

Also you have limited yourself to too few revenue opportunities, there are many more. Advertising is only one and with only 100000 unique visitors it is limited unless you partner rather than sell space but you need to be careful to retain your integrity. eBay etc have great success and with your valuation clients - the next logical step is to sell - can you do this?

Amazing price actually... The second most expensive was a Monet painting at £1-1.5 million...

Yes I was in there for over 2 and half hours which was edited down to 10 minutes... That is why I was quite nervous watching it, as I was unsure how it would come across. It was great how Duncan went out, saying he would value all his stuff at how, which he hasn't done yet to date... I chased him last week, but he is still on hols in Mougins, France :-) I will start a new blog now on What Happened after... Join me there... I am new to blogging (as you probably gathered!), so have to find my way round things... All the best and thanks again for your kind comments!! Thanks so much for all your kind comments …
