Shame he can't sue them for bad advice.
It's just a matter of time...
Hammered at £3k
A bit of a steel for someone.

They should have a responsibility to try and achieve the best prices - that selling for just 3k plus costs is a joke
It's just a matter of time...
Are we sure this was a new episode and not one from 10 years ago?

Must be an old show surely. Hard to tell with Dickheadinsons colour changes.
On an entirely different note, I think I'm in love with Alys.
First shown 14.03.16. according to the TV Guide. Probably recorded up to year before transmission...

It's a TV show at the end of the day and in almost 5 years the prices have changed dramatically. In fairness, I guess it depends if the dealers are watch nuts. In general the estimates are probably determined by looking at recently achieved prices on the saleroom.com
Whilst a lot of the dealers wear rolexes, they will not be au fait with market prices or trends. Auction was probably the best way to go at the time. Its also important to remember that in 2015 hulks were readily available around 4.5 to 5k and you could still walk into an AD and buy a submariner....
Most dealers on the show display a real lack of knowledge where watches are concerned. I saw the show a couple of weeks ago where someone brought in a Heuer chrono with Audi sport on the dial. The watch was boxed and unused. The dealer offered £150 for it. It sold for £2800 at auction. Did anybody else see that one?
In all honesty, the seller is not obliged to take to auction. For example if there is enough money on the table to cover a recent bill (car breakdown or new boiler, wedding etc) then they will take it as the auction is usually a few weeks away.
