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!
@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.
@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.
@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!"
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.
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 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.
ahahhaahhahahahahahaha lmfao rofl MY GOODNESS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AHAHAHAHAHAHAH EPIC FAIL DAMN this is funny. The old farts face ahahahaha. cant stop laughing
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.
@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.
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.
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.
@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.
@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.
This show is the epitome of racism in the UK!!!! Never in my 27 years of existence have I seen a black or coloured/mixed race person on this show. I think it is a front for those established pure-blood English people that want to hold onto the last of untarnished Briton, to hold on to its purity before it gets over-run by foreigners.
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.
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!!!
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".
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.
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
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).
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
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dumb fucking old asshole, what did he expect for such a worthless piece of shit? Did he really think he was going to get millions for that stupid thing... Moron. It doesn't take an expert to realize the thing is junk.
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...<

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.

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).

Dumb fucking old asshole, what did he expect for such a worthless piece of shit? Did he really think he was going to get millions for that stupid thing... Moron. It doesn't take an expert to realize the thing is junk.

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...<
