Best ones are the obviously already wealthy middle-agers who have been waiting impatiently for granny to fall off the perch so they can sell the heirloom jewelry and pad out the bank account a little more. Straight to the valuation please. The look of offended disappointment on their faces when told that it's not genuine or just not worth nearly as much as they thought is some very satisfying schadenfreude. You can imagine the conversation in the car on the way home... Worst ones are the people who doggedly stick to the story they've been told and argue with the expert, insisting that he or she is wrong and it's worth many thousands of pounds. It's obvious that they've grown up hearing "Great-grandad brought it back from the war, it's very valuable" or "It was acquired by the family back in 1856, it's very unique" and they've built financial plans around it. And then they get told that it's valueless junk or common as muck and their brain can't reconcile that info.

50 years. 50 years of rubbing his hands together with glee thinking of the thousands of dollars he's going to profit from this, a smug smile of self satisfaction, walking around with his head held high and an air of superiority, hinting to his wife and friends that he knows antiques, that he knows more than others, dreaming at night of how the value of this item would sky rocket, holding back temptation to sell too early. Finally the day comes to reap the rewards of his foresight, his knowledge, his wily cunningness, his almost prophetic way of seeing the future. His whole adult life had been building to this, then............ Cut down. It was like a knife in his heart, he held back the tears of anger and disappointment only until the cameras were gone, it was then he sat and wept like a spoilt, petulant child. Oh and just to translate for all the young folk out there "I never heard the like" means "argh, get fucked then" (disclaimer: this is a fictitious rambling, the man is probably a lovely, humble old chap)

I knew some antique auctioneers and they told me after a run of TV programmes they get people thinking there is money to be made. They said, if they just follow what is on TV without detailed study of antiques they buy the outcome is not good. They bring the items back for resale over the next 6 months and their investment dwindles to zero and they never see them again. Not surprised he got stung. What could you do with it, bar park it on your landing until you move house.

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!"

I've only seen one person complain about the value in the American version of Antiques Roadshow. This woman thought she had a jeweled pocket watch belonging to Poncho Villa. She had a great story but nothing to back it up. Turned out the watch was worth $250,000 just for the jewels. She wasn't quit as disappointed as this man but she was sure it was worth it least twice that.

Most of these people know EXACTLY what they have and what it is worth. The previous 10 antique dealers they've hauled this (mostly) junk to over the years for appraisal(s) have been told exactly what it would go for in the best case auction scenario. Yet they continue on their quest for a different answer (think Einstein's coloquial definition of insanity).
