  • laught hard , cool old fella

  • Refreshing to see a different reaction to a valuation on this show.

  • It's still pretty good, considering what he paid for it. But I don't know pound exchange rates vs. dollars.

  • "You could get between £200 and £300 for it"

    "All those years and keeping it myself for 50 years and I can only get £400 for it?" :)

  • feel bad for him.

  • I used to collect wash basin's for classy pirates... Then I took an arrow in the knee

  • Theres a man over there who got 5 grand for a box!!!

  • Sounds like me and my punk rock records.

  • id say he cut it up with a chainsaw

  • He got done by Dell Boy!

  • @bekkyshambles awesome comment

  • Government inflation understates. The average UK house in 1950 cost £1,900, today (latest figure) £162,019. So he paid 1/38th of a house back then, making the cost if it were today £4,265. Poor sod.

  • LOL i love this video, his reaction at the end.. you can just imagine him going home afterwards and tearing up all the bahamas holiday brochures that he'd been looking through hahahaha... never has a dream laid in so many tatters lmao!

  • the guys irish they dont spare feelings when it comes to disappointment :)

  • @DigitalGhost94 what are you? English? hah! Amrican? (most likely, because you are probably on youtube all day eating "chips") Oh yeah, dont badmouth the irish, trust me. Now get off your couch and get and get some exercise.

  • Well atleast this guy didn't hold back with his disgust, so respect on him.

  • Have you been watching antiques roadshow since 1978

  • poor man but so funny!

  • hahahaha

  • £52 in the 50s is ridiculously expensive for that time, considering a house was around £400-500

  • 52 pounds for a piss-box. Oh the luck o' the Irish.

  • lol, he's awesome

  • Do the Irish ever not enjoy having a moan about something?

  • @buckbumble im gonna ssume you're english. he's from northern ireland which is apart of the uk, just sayin he's british is all

  • Hahah, The old bloke thinks its worth a fortune

  • kept it 50 years to hear a bloke say its worth f.ck all is priceless !!!! this made me laugh , thanks for posting

  • i love when the appraiser say 52 old pounds?

  • Am I the only person who felt bad for him?

  • @FPSPlankton Meh, he got fleeced, how many millions of human beings suffered to make the U.K. and its citizens a first world nation?

  • He's Irish for crying out loud!

  • Waited half a century hoping that this would be worth, what? As it turns out, 250 pounds?  You lose, dullard.

  • I like how the appraiser led him up to the price by excitedly telling him facts about his "artifact".

  • Holy Shit! In today's money he spent £1,184.56 on that piece of crap.. no wonder he's so disappointed.. damn!

  • Comment removed

  • 52 quid in the 1950's?!?

  • holy shit, £52 in the 1950's was a fucking lot! Who ever sold it to him made a fortune on it.

  • i wouldn't say people are skint, but their fucked.

    especially women.

  • i dabble in a bit of trolling from time to time but some of the vile ignorant shit on this page alone is fucking amazing.

  • @antoireland09 What? You're amazed not everyone is sympathetic to the old Northern Irish guy who was probably expecting a £3,000 to £4,000 valuation. In Northern Ireland house prices have crashed 50% from 2007 peak. Eat that you old boomer. People are skint. The bankers are no longer lending people trillions of pounds and euros to go out and have fun. Values can change. Your ship wash cabinet is worth £50 max today fool.

  • @straydoggio Man, do I agree. Why does every pathetic old codger expect that their crap is gold? So it's an old wash basin. Who cares? Who the hell would want it? Not every old item is valuable, in fact, most are worthless.

  • A vintage toilet...why would you think would worth more over the years? Funny old guy.

  • poor bastard

  • poor chap. Takes it well though.

    Those slaggin him - you're cunts.

  • @narcoman2 The criticism of this guy is deserved. He is the cunt. His whole attitude shows he never had any EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT behind his purchase of it back in the 1950s. Thinks he's done the world a favour by keeping it for 50 years, expecting it to be worth loads. Proof? "It was sort of antiques at this auction and that's why it was so expensive. I paid £52 in old currency." "My goodness, and keeping anything myself for 50 years and I can only get 400 pounds. I never heard the like."

  • The show is a joke on credulous people who think they have something valuable when the truth is, the appraisers vastly overestimate what the items would bring at auction. In most cases, a seller at auction would get less than he paid for his item in the first place or at best, break even. The drama comes when the Roadshow guest exclaims "Really? Oh my god, I had no idea it was that valuable!"

  • Get appraised first then stored..

  • Hahaha, good. He got all dressed up too.

    That stupid old bastard with his big piece of worthless crap - I hope when he got home his wife said I told you so, took him by his shoulders and forcefully nested her knee right between his dried-up little balls.

  • and when you've finished winding me up your gonna tell me the true value right?.....right?

  • Basically £52 old pounds is worth around £1000 in today's money so to be fair he waits 50 years and makes a loss of £600. Poor chap, he got conned by some clever cockney in 1950. lol

  • @aarandir well said

  • @aarandir if it was an auction he conned himself

  • @aarandir "old currency?" I take it this means that it was backed by gold or silver?

  • @oldstock1607 It means it was backed by your mum.

  • @aarandir thanks for that really mature response to a serious question. Since you mention my mom, I will just assume you are a Paki cunt living as a parasite in the UK.

    Good day, cuntwad.

  • @oldstock1607 Haha, Nice.

  • luck of the irish

  • Awe, poor guy

  • He should sell it and buy some teeth.

  • LOL

  • That was crap. I feel for the guy.

  • haha his reaction and face :-)

  • Eeehh, an I put me fekkin back oot draggin the bast'rd doon here!! Ta be sure, so I did!

  • That's generous. Pawn Stars would give him $2 for it.

  • this old bastard is fucking cool in my book.

    he an original gangster.

    that nigga is fresh

  • i would gave him 800 pones

  • What in gods name is a SHITS-FITTING? Did I hear that right?

  • a change from the usual ,i was not going to come. i hate it ,i thought it was worth a couple of quid ,,

  • well thats what he gets for being old

  • fail...poor old git

  • haha I bet he waited forever to get ont he show.

  • Did anyone else notice the stains in the bottom where you take the stuff out. ugh.

  • I feel bad for that old man

  • soo funny

  • HAHAHAHA YA GREEDY AUL BASTARD

  • HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­!!!!! OMG I love his reaction. Poor lad

  • that was scary *runs away*

  • only a small amount of stuff is worth something

  • ahahhaahhahahahahahaha lmfao rofl MY GOODNESS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AHAHAHAHAHAHAH EPIC FAIL DAMN this is funny. The old farts face ahahahaha. cant stop laughing

  • Well he was not flushed with success... instead cash down the pan 50 years ago!

  • LOL

  • id pull the ddrawer out have a great big dump and leave it where it fucking is

  • @doh1959 LOL

  • The appraiser here is either talking out his ass, or these things have become real scarce recently, because I saw one in worse shape go for £800 at a maritime auction, and the auctioneer stated the opening bid would have been £1000, if the wash basin had been intact, as that tends to be the first piece to break, intact ones are rare.

  • @DarthSutekh Highly doubt Tim is talking out his arse, he's one of the top TV antique experts. The market does change, however.

  • @TomTresh3 I think its more he was talking the wrong market. As a collectible he may have been right, but that isn't the market for something like this, the one I saw was at an auction primarily for restoration groups. Something he should know but didn't mention.

  • @DarthSutekh Well he can't know everything, different experts specalise in different things. Yesterday on Dickinson's Real Deal, someone sold a collection of original Beatles fan magazines from the '60s and their 1964 caldenda in good condition for £45. I know for a fact these items sell for a lot more on e-bay, something even an non-expert knows, yet this was missed by experts on the show.

  • @DarthSutekh >"The appraiser here is either talking out his ass, or these things have become real scarce recently, because I saw one in worse shape go for £800 at a maritime auction, and the auctioneer stated the opening bid would have been £1000, if the wash basin had been intact, as that tends to be the first piece to break, intact ones are rare".< ARE YOU AN ESCAPED MENTAL PATIENT? It's a heavy ugly huge cabinet from an old ship for washing your face. PEOPLE ARE TOO SKINT. SOON FIREWOOD.

  • @straydoggio Yes its a huge ugly cabinet but for the people restoring the type of ship it goes to its worth the money. To maritime restorers authentic pieces are important for that exact reason, most of them were chopped up for firewood. Or rotted past saving.

  • Aw I feel sorry for him, been dragging that thing around for so many decades, probably was planning on retiring with the sale.

  • Yea, he was pretty pooped about that appraisal

  • just keep it for fire kindling old man :-)

  • lol, i luv them brits

  • I'm addicted to this video. I've watched it about 10 times. I still laugh hysterically everytime I even think about. it. The thing is I don't know why he even thought it would be worth a lot of money, it had no dovetailing, no detailing, and his face when he heard the value...I can imagine him just chopping it up with an axe when he got home lol....coz I would.

  • @6greenduck  lmfao

  • @SusanBenante Now that's some funny shit right there!

  • Using the RPI his £52 would be worth £1326 today, lol

    I bet there was one happy conman in 1950.

  • hes dissapointed he got a shit evealuation on a toilet, hahaha it took him 50 years to find out he got bumped lol nothing gets past him,

  • well, shit. the old guy took it fairly well though, wadda gonna do?

  • All we can say is we live and we learn. Sometimes the hard way.

  • greedy bastards go there acting like they dont already know what its worth. trust me they go there sometimes to hear a bigger number. these folks already know what its worth.

  • silly accents.

  • @arsia00alex The gentleman is irish , his accent is not silly just correct for the area of his birth. Strange that the accent should sound funny to a yank on st Patricks day you idiots go insane claiming long ago links with Ireland and declaring yourselves to be part irish, so who has been kissing the blarney stone.

  • @jig678 take it easy. you're commenting on a youtube video. NO ONE CARES.

  • The older guy reminds me of Eric Idle.

  • haha poor basterd

  • valuation at 1:15

  • LOL I watched it again didn't realize it was an antique outhouse LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lol at least he is honest. How many people keep bullshit around only to find out years later its worth diddly squat

  • Bet if he said someone famous took a piss in it, he'd get quoted thousands

  • @gavinmarks1986 Nope that is a misconception about antiques. Just because someone famous used something or was in some way related to something doesn't increase the value much. And unless you have verification, it wouldn't matter anyway.

  • I think he went home and took a shit in it, he must have been tempted for 50 years.

  • lol poor guy

  • I thought this would have been worth more

  • people this man is not greedy, he just got ripped off 50 years ago.

  • well he does have a jacket with a patch on it

  • @solidysnake1 I think he got the item 50 years ago. He's clearly older than 50.

  • It's never enough, is it, you old poofter! Haha. Take the money and party!

  • @ colmv123

    there are no black people in the UK, true story

  • racist ignorant troll

  • he he well there ya go with all your blacks and immigrants. where I live, it is almost all white. can't last forever, tho.

  • im wetting myself GAS I NEVER HEARD THE LIKES

  • he's so old i dont think he heard the right price otherwise he would of shit his pants

  • lolz

  • Greedy old scrote.

  • lolololololol, yeah, old coot

  • Stupid flatulant gay old coot!

    "Is that all? After all those years!"

    "I never heard the like..."

  • haahahaaaah yeah old coot

  • im looking for some thing to put on the top of my bonfire for guy fawkes night that looks perfect crappy peice of shit

  • old coot. i bet he'd had it valued and the guy at the showroom offered him £100 or summit like that and he thought 'this guys wrong, im right lets go on antiques roadshow.' then you can see his colostomy bag fill with annoyance.

  • would of been funny if the stupid grey old get, had squeezed a big juicy turd init before getting it valued, priceless.

  • Comment removed

  • Aw, He should sell it and get himself a drink.

    He deserves a good drink keeping that for 50 years.

    dam!!!

  • Hey, he can keep it next to his bed and then when he needs to poop he won't have to make it all the way to the bathroom! Always a silver lining I find!!!

  • muhhahahahahahahahahhahahaha

  • He probably took it straight to the pawn shop, and used the money on a hooker in the back alley.

  • that really sucks. and its so huge to keep in your house for 50 years.

  • LMFAO

  • his reaction is priceless

  • Poor old guy.

  • @reveal1967 No....He shit in it for the first time !!!

  • "And I can only get 400 pounds?"

    "Well, 400 top end."

    I love how he just really drives it home at the end how worthless his investment was.

  • genius, they don't buy the damn things they just tell them what they're worth

  • ha ha ha...50 years of holding onto crap!!!....still, the old codger made a profit after all....lol

  • @bonscott01 52 pounds back then is a lot more now a days, probably would be 200-300 so he didnt really make a profit.

  • SHIIIIIIITTTT :( :(

  • @bonscott01 He didn't even get a profit. 50 years ago 52 pounds would have been a helluva lot of money.

  • LMFAO! The old man looked like he wanted to smack the appraiser.

  • I think he went by the pub before joining the roadshow LoL

  • HAHA i bet it costs more to install a REAL sink in his house

  • Before the show he said to his friends "right lads, we're all almost dead, so I'm going to sell my toilet machine. Then we're all off to Vegas to shag some high class whores!!!"

    He goes home and says "ok lads, my round at the pub".

  • thats your dad

  • LOL that's a funny picture. You have a talent for comedy

  • @mdma111 Best comment on Youtube, ever.  Well done Sir.

  • @mdma111 i would thumbs up your comment but it looks good with the 69.

  • Funny how people assume if purchased 50 years ago it automatically goes up in price/value through the years. Time for a wake up call.

  • So he bought it for a small fortune over 50 years ago and has lugged it around with himself ever since?

    If I was him i'd feel pretty gutted.

    Then again, I wouldn't buy an old, used toilet.

  • it wasnt a toilet!!! its an old bathing instrument before there was the shower!

  • Oh right, it just looks so much like a toilet.

  • ROFL This is so funny! Just the way people act in the UK is so polite, even if they're disappointed!

  • It's interesting, it's unusual...but yep, just because something is old doesn't mean it's automatically worth huge money. They're probably pretty easily available, especially if every upper class cabin on every cruiser had one.

  • Can anyone guestimate how much 50 "old" pounds are worth today?

  • few grand people made like 20p a day backthen and thats in a good job!

  • Im not sure but I know that in the 1970s my Grandpa spent £5 on the family big shop, and that was alot!

  • yea people forget about inflation, last week one of the presenters was banging on about how he he used to pay around £20 for old books back in the late 1950s.. my eldest aunt bought her 3 bedroom house in 1955 and paid £510 for it. she died a few months back aged 77 and the house is on the market for £145,000

  • thats what you get when u sell a shitty toilet

  • I thought it was pretty cool

  • I've seen this before (not on the roadshow, but elsewhere in real life)...Honestly folks...MOST ANTIQUES are NOT WORTH MUCH. You would be VERY surprised to find out how WORTHLESS some things actually are. Age doesn't equal great value. Condition, rarity, manufacture and condition and reputation and condition equals value (and even then, perhaps not much).

  • Silly old fart! Bang goes the new Stannah Stairlift...

  • sounds like he only bought in in the first place hoping to make more money off of it in the futureit's still more than he bought it for thoughbetter than nothin

  • "Is that all?"

    "Yep"

    "My goodness, after all those years!"

    ROFLMFAO

  • Lol. "I never heard the like."

  • So so funny

  • hahaha, you tell him mr wonnacott

  • haha!!!!

  • I meant to give you a thumbs down for your comment, but instead accidentally gave you a thumbs up. In order to counter the senseless mistake I felt it was necessary to call you out and say that it doesn't take an expert to realize that YOU are the worthless piece of shit...<
