 Flog It! – the major BBC2 antiques series – regularly gets an audience of 2 million viewers each weekday. The Dorford Centre will be hosting the Flog It! Valuation Day. A bit like a treasure hunt, members of the public are invited to bring along the antiques and collectables they might be interested in selling. Once valued, the owner and team of experts decide whether it should go forward for auction. If the item is chosen it is sold a few weeks later – often with the owner making a tidy sum. Everyone who goes along to the Valuation Day will receive a valuation – even if their antiques are not chosen to go forward for auction. Previous programmes have seen a small cream jug sold at auction for £1,300; a ceramic bowl, bought for £4 at a car boot sale, achieving £1,500; and a lady in Aberdeen sold a Shelley tea set for a huge £3,400! So if you've ever wondered how much those boot sale bargains or clutter in the loft might be worth, now is your chance to find out. Presented by Paul Martin, Flog It! will be at the Dorford Centre Bridport Road,Dorchester on Wednesday 3rd February 2010 9.30am until 4pm. The auction will take place on Saturday 3 February 2007 at the Batemans Auctioneers & Valuers, Wardens House, 4 Broad Street, Stamford Lincs, PE9 1PX and will be broadcast as part of the ninth series later in the year.
