    Yes, I really like it.

    I'm not too keen on Jeff Salmon though.

    So, a combination of two of my least favourite shows on tv. No, don't think I'm the target audience somehow.....

    Is he the mouthy one who concluded that he could send the makers of the pencil chair to stardom?

    "Yes"
    "And so you should be"

    Jeff Salmon is brilliant on it!

    That Emma... i just don't think she has any money so not quite sure what she can buy -

    Some guys a few weeks ago turned down £240k for a banksy wall, it would have smashed all records - they paid £30k for it - they got greedy and said - No!

    Some people are completely deluded on that show though. or just plain greedy.

    I never understand the people that go in saying they want x amount for it. Then they get offered an amount in excess of whatever x was and then they turn it down in expectation of more from the next dealer.

    It's interesting to see how when negotiating a price people always add a few grand onto their ideal price. When finally revealing to the dealer what they want to receive for their item they always seem to expect the dealer to offer slightly less which would bring them to their target price.

    Normally the dealer offers a lot less and then the seller looks stumped.

    Yep it's great by rights it should be terrible but its strangely addictive, love seeing people getting greedy and then going to a final room and getting a naff offer.


    - and the host is quite tasty too
