In a remarkable moment from Antiques Road Trip in 2021, expert Paul Laidlaw made a stunning discovery when a camera he purchased for £60 sold for an astonishing £20,000 at auction.
The seller stood firm, replying: "Give me £60 and I'll shake your hand but I'm not doing any better than that, I'm afraid." Edward was quoted saying: "The sub-miniature camera - I have never seen one, in fact, we have carried out some research and cannot find any other example which has sold at auction, we were very excited to see this and it has certain potential to make a significant profit.", reports the Express.
Kate and Edward briefed the crowd: "It's not a record price, a record price for a general sale is £15,000, for a home and interior sale £16,000. £17,000, £18,000, £19,000. £20,000."
