E67 The Elephant Ladder & Dealing At Your Own Risk

Lots of big topics up for discussion on today's podcast, including more updates on the ivory ban and if auctioning items that have been cleared for sale could still send you to prison. Simon rants so much it gets its own theme music, Harry gets insulted on the job, the team finds some expired Spam, and we tell you if you can fit an elephant in a three bedroom semi. Please note, in this episode there is discussion about the ivory ban. Obviously everyone involved in this podcast is against harming animals in any form. We are simply discussing the effectiveness, implementation, and education around the latest government guidelines for antiques containing ivory.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
