This is the kind of thing people always say when they don't have a million pound watch sitting in a drawer. You'd sell it in five seconds. I inherited a painting from my father who just decided he liked it in 1960. I did some research and found out what it was worth. The auction house picked it up a week later and it sold for a comical amount of money. I fondly remember that painting being in our living room my entire life. Sold it without two seconds of thought. And so would you.

Hopefully he negotiated a good deal with the auction house, I've heard horror stories about their fees which can range from 10 to 20%, then he'll no doubt have been hammered by good old VAT which will shaft him with another 20%. Sell it for £80000, less 20% leaves him with £64000, then the taxman shafts him and he gets left with £51200. Almost £30000 gone before he even sees it, in any other walk of life this would be criminal
