In the UK we have a programme called Antique Roadtrip. This involves 2 antiques experts going around antiques centres and buying antiques to sell at auction. Any profit goes to charity.
On this particular occasion the expert Anita Manning bought a cheap looking ‘Lucky Buddha’ for £50. She has cheekily bartered the seller down on price.
At auction the item fetched £3,800. With buyers’ premiums added this would be around £4,400.
What an achievement! What is the best bargain you have found?

Yes it is different but equally fascinating. There are some real finds on there, though I think some of them are probably planted for the cameras
