That's a pretty decent profit
A dramatic auction left Antiques Road Trip presenters completely gobsmacked as a £20 item ended up racking up a 'stonking profit'. Irita Marriott and Mark Hill, who regularly host the BBC daytime show, couldn't believe their eyes when the item went under the hammer and sold for eleven times its cost.
But soon the tables turned as Mark came across an item that would lead him to score big. The item he found was a set of London bus signs, which cost just £20, and were located in a Markyate shop, Hertfordshire, called Renovation."These are off a London bus, these would have sat on the front inside a frame telling you where the bus was going." He told viewers. "Inside there would have been a little handle that the driver would turn to change the destination.
"The market for any transport items is really good at the moment and this sale is going online. There's lots of people all around the country who would love those - especially those in Essex where most of these are based."
