Antiques Road Trip
Not as good as Put Your Money Where your mouth is
What I have noticed is Christina Trevanion on these shows. She seems nice and always cheery disposition but when it comes to buying she is never happy. I saw it yesterday and she got am item down to and she still wasn't happy and got the guy to call the dealer who said 17£ bottom price bit she took the phone and went on and on and on until he agreed to £15. Basically bullying with a smile. Most dealers on the show accept a price but she won't stop until she's bullied the price she wants. Am I being unfair IM sure if I went into her shop and tried it I wouldn't get far. Ticket price 200 I'll pay £19 only. Yeah okay |

I'm liking this pairing.
Paul certainly knows his militaria. The shopkeepers cave in rather too easily for my enjoyment. However if the lovely Christina demanded a 99% discount and one of my kidneys I would probably agree. |

You do know the BBC compensate the shop owners when the dealer gets a real bargain, right?

They all do it and I guess the dealers expect them to.
She seems pleasant but not sure if it's an act |

Paul spotted a bargain today, a quid buy that netted him a £300 + profit.

It may be true for Road trip, but since making a profit in Bargain Hunt is so rare, I doubt things are what you claim. If you back your story up with evidence, either from BBC or several of the sellers, then I will believe. |

It's definitely true for Bargain Hunt, I know someone who was on it. I also was at filming in Derby Uni and spoke to some of the dealers. This was back in 2006 though, things might have changed.

Can't stand the man, especially the way he gets people to toss a coin over a price - he's a wheeler dealer, not an antiques expert.

A friend was on Bargain Hunt about 7 years ago and I and some friends went to the Auction. Tim didn't move out of the Auction house all morning as he was kept busy filming, when he did come out he spent some time having photographs and signing autographs with us and then went and had about 30 minutes for his lunch (with everyone else) and then came out and filmed the end sequences. He was polite and friendly, the only people who were stuck up and obnoxious were Julian Clary and his Mum who were there filming the first of the series of celebrity BH's, they snubbed everyone and only appeared to film their bit of the auction and then hid away again in the green room.
Thanks |
