She left my Mom the butter dish rather than the house as my Mom was her favorite and the old lady thought the butter dish was worth much more than the house. She left the house to some other person she didn't even like because it was the "less valuable" of her two possessions and she thought it was old fashioned and cold and dirty to maintain with all the big fireplaces in every room and didn't want my Mother having to live there. She figured my Mother could buy all the houses she wanted with the proceeds of the butter dish. Anyways, my mother got the butter dish valued by an antiques dealer and he said its worth about five or six pounds. 😄 Ironically the townhouse is in one of the best areas. It turned into a hotspot in the 80s and 90s a lot of the wealthy renovated and moved in there due to the location. Similar houses in the same street regularly sell for 5+ million. At least I have my butter dish though.

People tend to believe what they want to hear. The original estimate likely came from some relative, friend or neighbour who knows little, and spews advice to everyone, whether they want it or not. She should go back and tell him he's right and sell it to him for twice the true appraised price!!

@@Redskies453 I get that it makes for kind of crappy TV, but most people are more interested in being able to pay their bills than having a cool biscuit tin (even if it _does_ have a headlight).
A lot of old people are like this. They think because they have some thing for 50 years that it has to be worth a fortune. You see them on marketplaces with a bunch of old household stuff asking a fortune for it and the whole lot not worth a tenner. They have all this junk they've hoarded but they'd rather burn it than sell it or give it away to someone needy. As for this woman, like at the end of the day, it's a biscuit tin.. they were made in their thousands and not made of anything special just some tin. Yes they're rare today but you have to be realistic. It's not a luxury item like a vintage Rolex or a Faberge brooch.. it's just a uncommon collectable for a niche collector's community of people who are into them. Likely everyday people.. a hobby they can afford without breaking the bank. Each one maybe couple of hundred quid. There are lots of collector communities like that.. collecting all manner of old things that are still relatively affordable. These old people like this lady thinking they're sitting on a gold mind are the old version of these 21 year olds with a clapped out VW Golf with a crappy bodykit and cut springs "I know what I've got" asking six times what it's worth.
I remember elsewhere a poststamp, the owner expected it to be worth around 1million USD. Expert takes a look, but the stamp didn't have something on the backside wich makes the difference, if it would have it, it indeed would have been a million. But his was worth 50 cents.
@keithvincent322 Offer her 40p and say "What are you pulling your face at, it's twice what you paid." I know it's worth £200, but I'd just like to see how sour her face would get.
I collect antique/vintage tin wind-up toy's, this toy is a biscuit tin, and even many wind-ups these days are in a slump as far as value, that's just the way the market is dictating. Back in the early 2000s it was much livelier, but the economy has been stagnant.
True, there are pocket watches in silver from several hundred years ago, ahnd made parts that took watchmakers probably months to make from scratch, very costly at the time but today the value is not very high at all.
"In such immaculate condition tin cars like these easily do £12.000." Owner's face lightens up! "But since the headlight is missing I wouldn't expect more than 200 quid."
Reading the comments, and seeing how cool the toy is, how nice it looks, and how excited the guy was talking about it, 200 seemed quite low, but then her reaction was the most "teacher" thing I have ever seen and I now hate her.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't understand how condition affects value. I don't know anything about this particular item but I do know that collectibles in general must be in perfect condition to realize full value. His valuation is based largely on the condition of this piece. It is very good condition for what it is. The paint is about 98% which is amazing but not perfect. If there were absolutely no flaws and that piece was not missing and no dirt stains it probably would be worth more than double or possibly closer to her claimed value. I have a 140 year old medicine bottle. In mint condition with a perfect paper label it's worth $500. I don't have the label though it does have it's embossed design and it has one tiny chip in the lip. My bottle is worth about $100. Without the chip, about $150, with a more or less intact label, $250-$350. With everything perfect, $500, throw in the original stopper, $600, throw in the original sealed contents, $1200, put it in it's original paperboard box with it's seal intact and double that. Maybe the quote she was told referred to perfect with the original unopened biscuits inside, now THAT might be worth $1000. I have an unopened Band-Aid tin with the original contents and I turned down an offer of $250 for it. My other one I sold for $25 because it was just the empty tin with some scratches and a little light wear and dirt and that's all it's worth in that condition. My grandfather once told my uncle that all collectibles double in value every year. That is not actually true of course. But my uncle still thinks that and so he thinks his McDonald's happy meal toys he bought forty years ago are worth thousands of dollars each. He is 75 years old and when his money runs out he is relying on that to live off of and he is going to be disappointed. Perhaps someone told her a price and someone else told her to expect appreciation and she combined the two pieces of information.
I always wanted to see an expert holding an antique vase or something saying "Well, a vase of this type, in this condition is probably worth. . ." (Fumbles and drops the vase which shatters on the floor.) . . . "Less. Yes, completely worth - less. . . "

Something bloodthirsty about its estate owner having gone to a home....having been parted from treasure before having died off enjoying it. That guys in a home i got it for 20 haha oh and all i care about is profit. Is it just me or is that grisly?
To me this is gold!, it's very nice to see people surprised at an item being valued highly but when they assume a high value and it's not confirmed by the expert, it's great because these situations are rare, even more so when the item turns out to be fake or a modern copy. I thought she took it quite well actually.
I love the ones where the smug owner realises their valuable isn't valuable as opposed to the ones where the owners are genuinely shocked when they find out an item is worth thousands!
When I was about 10 I bought a piece of glass ware for my mother's birthday, she valued it because I bought it for her , but it was ugly, and I'm sure she thought so also . Imagine my shock at seeing it on antiques road show and finding out it was a very highly sought after collectable
The families who bought those biscuits must've been quite well off if they feel they could throw away a fully functional tin toy after it had served its purpose as a biscuit tin.
There were novelty liquor and perfume bottles over the years too. Kids played with them and discarded them. No big deal...just more passing smile junk in one's life.
@@Zodroo_TintIt would be more understandable if people would throw something like this away today, since it would be made out of plastic and toys are cheaper/more abundant.
The two joys of this programme, seeing smug types find out that their artefact, often 'acquired' from an elderly relative, is worth a fraction of what they'd imagined; and seeing someone who was talked into bringing along something they thought had only sentmental value find out that it's worth a fortune. The only thing that would make it better would be to have the smug fart watch as the other person hears the good news and watch their face.

Tell me about it…..The whole instance reminded me of a plumbing job I was on in Shepherds Bush, when we were restoring a house above a basement flat. The owner of the posh flat was a crotchety middle aged woman, who constantly complained of the noise. We did so much work in her flat for free, to keep her sweet and as a gesture of goodwill, most of it minor plumbing and gas work. One morning I collected her mail from the upstairs house, whilst she was ranting and told her she had a letter from E.R.N.I.E. The old bat had won £500 on the premium bonds! She simply put the letter down and carried on moaning, never losing momentum. I was so disgusted, I could only put my palms out and say, “….You’ve just won half a grand….” words failed me after that.

People tend to believe what they want to hear. The original estimate likely came from some relative, friend or neighbour who knows little, and spews advice to everyone, whether they want it or not. She should go back and tell him he's right and sell it to him for twice the true appraised price!!
Emotional Damage

Oh no, Mr Walters, I disagree.
Her snarky quip was thoroughly vulgar and a touch crass.
While exposing her ire at the peasant evaluator, she forgot that people of true breeding might be watching this programme.
We don't need her sort in polite company.
As much as I love the ones like the young girl overcome with emotion after finding out her grandma’s painting was worth about 300k, I also enjoy the delusional ones getting their comeuppance! Hahaaaa
Yeah, the two extremes make the show watchable.

Mein Vater sammelt Tin-Toy Rennwagen. Er meinte 1000 Pfund wäre für diesen Rennwagen mit Karton Ok.
Die Birne die vorne Fehlt, lässt sich ganz leicht ersetzen, es waren Taschenlampen-Birnen 4,5 Volt.
In den 1980er Jahren bezahlte man für so einen Rennwagen weit mehr.
What the heck is her issue? If I bought something for 20 cents and was told that it was worth $2-300 I would be pretty damn ecstatic.
Time counts.
@Zodroo_Tint your statement doesn't make sense...
@@Wasatch95 it makes lots of sense when we you are talking about the value of antiques
@@martinworld7214 she doesn't have any time invested in it. She walked into a sale, spent 20 pence on it, and that was it. That's a damn good potential profit.
She thought it was worth a grand. Her disappointment is understandable

The camera cut just as she said “do you want to step outside”?
🤣
I find it hilarious when people get legitimately upset by a "measly" 10x profit. You bought it for 20 pounds, and it's worth 200. If you're upset imagine the person you brought it from.
Felt sorry for the expert, he was hoping she’d be pleased. If he’d said 21 pence she’d still be in profit. And it had the box, albeit in rough condition. Buy what you like, not what you think will become valuable.
Not happy, only getting a thousand times what she'd paid for it 😅
She is disinterested the whole time and has no interest in the item or its history at all, just keen for a payout.
@@Redskies453 I get that it makes for kind of crappy TV, but most people are more interested in being able to pay their bills than having a cool biscuit tin (even if it _does_ have a headlight).
A lot of old people are like this. They think because they have some thing for 50 years that it has to be worth a fortune. You see them on marketplaces with a bunch of old household stuff asking a fortune for it and the whole lot not worth a tenner. They have all this junk they've hoarded but they'd rather burn it than sell it or give it away to someone needy. As for this woman, like at the end of the day, it's a biscuit tin.. they were made in their thousands and not made of anything special just some tin. Yes they're rare today but you have to be realistic. It's not a luxury item like a vintage Rolex or a Faberge brooch.. it's just a uncommon collectable for a niche collector's community of people who are into them. Likely everyday people.. a hobby they can afford without breaking the bank. Each one maybe couple of hundred quid. There are lots of collector communities like that.. collecting all manner of old things that are still relatively affordable. These old people like this lady thinking they're sitting on a gold mind are the old version of these 21 year olds with a clapped out VW Golf with a crappy bodykit and cut springs "I know what I've got" asking six times what it's worth.
@@Sinnerboy88 omg so much angst, i could squeeze your comment and get drips of it out of it.
Thanks news feed. Giving me antiques roadshow clips. Keep telling me how I’m old.
I remember elsewhere a poststamp, the owner expected it to be worth around 1million USD. Expert takes a look, but the stamp didn't have something on the backside wich makes the difference, if it would have it, it indeed would have been a million. But his was worth 50 cents.
Have to be honest. I’d love to have that.
Offer her a grand, I'm sure she'd let you have it. lol
@ don’t want it that much. But it is cool. We don’t make things like that anymore.
@keithvincent322 Offer her 40p and say "What are you pulling your face at, it's twice what you paid."
I know it's worth £200, but I'd just like to see how sour her face would get.
Agree. It is a delightful little thing. Wouldn't pay anywhere near a grand for it, though. Certainly not to HER!
I collect antique/vintage tin wind-up toy's, this toy is a biscuit tin, and even many wind-ups these days are in a slump as far as value, that's just the way the market is dictating. Back in the early 2000s it was much livelier, but the economy has been stagnant.
People often don't get how fickle the art, antique, and collectable market is. They just assume old=valuable
@@sheepewe4505 That car ticks every box, It would be a steal at 200 pounds.
@@amraceway damaged box, worn paint, missing parts. Ticks all the boxes all right.
People that grew up with wind-up toys are dying, so the nostalgia factor isn't there.
I love the wheels on it!
Just because its old doesn't mean its valuable
200 is nothing to sneeze at.
@Olebull93 unless you're expecting 1000 like she thought
True, there are pocket watches in silver from several hundred years ago, ahnd made parts that took watchmakers probably months to make from scratch, very costly at the time but today the value is not very high at all.
@truxton1000 yeah I own one. 😆 it's sentimental value is higher
Not what they're saying though. He goes on about it being rare and popular among collectors.
"In such immaculate condition tin cars like these easily do £12.000."
Owner's face lightens up!
"But since the headlight is missing I wouldn't expect more than 200 quid."
That's how it goes. People pay for pristine condition. Crappy tins with broken bits are a dime a dozen at the nearest trinket shop
I expect you could replace the bulb for $1.
Just saw one of those tins go for $1200. I think the missing headlight did her in.
I actually think it would have brought 700-800 at auction. More if the notoriety of being on Antiques Roadshow was highlighted.
Reading the comments, and seeing how cool the toy is, how nice it looks, and how excited the guy was talking about it, 200 seemed quite low, but then her reaction was the most "teacher" thing I have ever seen and I now hate her.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't understand how condition affects value. I don't know anything about this particular item but I do know that collectibles in general must be in perfect condition to realize full value. His valuation is based largely on the condition of this piece. It is very good condition for what it is. The paint is about 98% which is amazing but not perfect. If there were absolutely no flaws and that piece was not missing and no dirt stains it probably would be worth more than double or possibly closer to her claimed value. I have a 140 year old medicine bottle. In mint condition with a perfect paper label it's worth $500. I don't have the label though it does have it's embossed design and it has one tiny chip in the lip. My bottle is worth about $100. Without the chip, about $150, with a more or less intact label, $250-$350. With everything perfect, $500, throw in the original stopper, $600, throw in the original sealed contents, $1200, put it in it's original paperboard box with it's seal intact and double that. Maybe the quote she was told referred to perfect with the original unopened biscuits inside, now THAT might be worth $1000. I have an unopened Band-Aid tin with the original contents and I turned down an offer of $250 for it. My other one I sold for $25 because it was just the empty tin with some scratches and a little light wear and dirt and that's all it's worth in that condition.
My grandfather once told my uncle that all collectibles double in value every year. That is not actually true of course. But my uncle still thinks that and so he thinks his McDonald's happy meal toys he bought forty years ago are worth thousands of dollars each. He is 75 years old and when his money runs out he is relying on that to live off of and he is going to be disappointed. Perhaps someone told her a price and someone else told her to expect appreciation and she combined the two pieces of information.
Carry on me lad antiques are full of wonders and knowledge 😊
I always wanted to see an expert holding an antique vase or something saying "Well, a vase of this type, in this condition is probably worth. . ." (Fumbles and drops the vase which shatters on the floor.) . . . "Less. Yes, completely worth - less. . . "
hee hee hee hee heeeee! I get SO ANNOYED when they touch it in any way at all. “Get your greasy paws off my priceless artifact!”
@@ahill4642 The expert replies ; "Take your worthless piece of tat home, put it in the bin where it belongs and stop wating my valuable time, you grasping little piss-crane!" Ha! Ha! Ha! I'd love to see that reaction. . .😂
I love the car. How can anyone throw away such a special tin...so had a working headlight originally...marvellous.
"Damn, I should have sold it to that guy that said it was worth 1000 back then, but I ridiculed him and said that I was gonna have ot valued by a proper expert."
Tin race car box sold on Wednesday, August 10, 2022 for $1,168 at Morphy Auctions, Pennsylvania... Used condition with patina, no box!
Something bloodthirsty about its estate owner having gone to a home....having been parted from treasure before having died off enjoying it. That guys in a home i got it for 20 haha oh and all i care about is profit. Is it just me or is that grisly?
To me this is gold!, it's very nice to see people surprised at an item being valued highly but when they assume a high value and it's not confirmed by the expert, it's great because these situations are rare, even more so when the item turns out to be fake or a modern copy. I thought she took it quite well actually.

@@indigocheetah4172 You missed the point of his comment entirely, clown. lol.
I love the ones where the smug owner realises their valuable isn't valuable as opposed to the ones where the owners are genuinely shocked when they find out an item is worth thousands!
When I was about 10 I bought a piece of glass ware for my mother's birthday, she valued it because I bought it for her , but it was ugly, and I'm sure she thought so also .
Imagine my shock at seeing it on antiques road show and finding out it was a very highly sought after collectable
I like both, but only if the worth-a-fortune person seems like a decent type.
Love this show !
The families who bought those biscuits must've been quite well off if they feel they could throw away a fully functional tin toy after it had served its purpose as a biscuit tin.
yeah, plus it was cool! buncha biscuit munchers!
Well , judging from all the MUDLARKING videos , most people would run their crap down to the Thames river and chuck it in.
There were novelty liquor and perfume bottles over the years too. Kids played with them and discarded them. No big deal...just more passing smile junk in one's life.
You judging them by modern standard. They lived in the earlier times of our world.
@@Zodroo_TintIt would be more understandable if people would throw something like this away today, since it would be made out of plastic and toys are cheaper/more abundant.
Love that, would have been nice to see a bit more of the box but never mind.
Some people shouldn’t be so greedy.
Most similar antiques ive sold were around 60-100, she should be happy with that offer
“ Oh would ya, hmmm”. Think she was not in agreement.
😂😂😂love it when this happens 😂😂 she looked furious
The two joys of this programme, seeing smug types find out that their artefact, often 'acquired' from an elderly relative, is worth a fraction of what they'd imagined; and seeing someone who was talked into bringing along something they thought had only sentmental value find out that it's worth a fortune.
The only thing that would make it better would be to have the smug fart watch as the other person hears the good news and watch their face.
Had a quick search and an identical one (with the light fitted) sold in the US for $1,168.50 (£923) in 2022, so she’s not far wrong 🤣

2:12 Here, we have a wonderful painting of what looks to be a man surrounded by children.
It appears the man is holding a bag of candy and is luring the children behind the building.
In fact, it reminds me of someone who looks like me but is definitely not me so i will buy this for him as he also love antiques.
It shows how greedy some people are when they’re disappointed they can’t sell it for much. People like her don’t like the object for what it is or it’s beauty, they’re only interested it’s cash value.
If Bruce Wayne had been terrified by candy instead of bats.
i never knew the British had a program like we have: Tussen Kunst en Kitsch.
I guess we dutch stole it, or vice versa.
Either way, since i have seen almost everything of our dutch program, it pleases me that i now have another similar show to watch which i have not seen yet.
Thanks Algorithm for suggesting this gem
This kind of show started in the US. It's called the antique road show. Been on TV is the US for over 50 years
@@homesteadhaven2010 yeah, obvious.
I did not think we dutch came up with a brilliant idea like this.
But i never knew it existed outside of the Netherlands. Mostly because i am not actively searching the web for it, nor the tv.
But today this popped up in my recommended list, and even though it might sound like i am a demented old bustardo (which i am), i am glad it did.
This stuff is always nice to watch after you have stored your brain in a safe place for the night by drowning it in a good quality Whiskey.

She paid 20p for it, now it’s worth £2-300, I’m no mathematician but that sounds like a pretty good investment to me and this lady is disappointed? Like someone else wrote on here, “just because it’s old doesn’t make it expensive”!
Some people are just very hard to please.
Tell me about it…..The whole instance reminded me of a plumbing job I was on in Shepherds Bush, when we were restoring a house above a basement flat. The owner of the posh flat was a crotchety middle aged woman, who constantly complained of the noise. We did so much work in her flat for free, to keep her sweet and as a gesture of goodwill, most of it minor plumbing and gas work.
One morning I collected her mail from the upstairs house, whilst she was ranting and told her she had a letter from E.R.N.I.E. The old bat had won £500 on the premium bonds! She simply put the letter down and carried on moaning, never losing momentum.
I was so disgusted, I could only put my palms out and say, “….You’ve just won half a grand….” words failed me after that.

She only paid 20p for it but she's upset at only getting £200 for it. 😂 The woman looks like a Catherine Tate character.
I think the second one was deliberately trying to disappoint the guy because he knew all about the painting and the expert didn't get to educate him as much as he'd have liked.
Might have been worth $1,000 if it was never played with and stayed in the box the whole time. That wouldn't make a very fun gift though.
