For anyone worrying about the person who he bought the camera from, the BBC often offer the sellers compensation if the item sells for a ridiculous amount. The profits on ART go to charity however, I believe the seller refused to accept any such compensation.
Sorry to break it to you, it actually went for £6.2 million precisely at Sotheby's, when they thought it was a Victorian egg timer, Del Boy's father-in-law found in a box in the garage lock up. As Rodney said, "that is just over £3 million each", Del Boy says " we have had worse days". 🤣😂🤣😂

It’s not a one off episode as such. Both experts travel round an area of the country for a week, buying goods then selling them at auction. There are 5 shows, and the winner is whoever makes the greater profit at the end of the week.
@@johntulloch6424 yeah I know, I was being facetious - it was pretty obvious who would have won 😂 (although you wouldn't know that I'm from the UK and have seen the programme many times, so it at least explains it for others who don't know 👍🏻)
During the bidding, Kate had a little spasm of emotion and shock which shows how important and unexpected this was. I remember something similar happening at a general sale auction when a diver's Rolex made £65000. The auctioneer become overcome at £30k and had to let someone else take over. Paul is exceptional and if anyone was going to pull in a profit like this, it was going to be him. All that money to 'Children in Need' What a great day it was...
Seen this a couple of times and it's just hot me I wonder what the person who sold it to him for £60 thought if they watched it go for £20,000 they most have been sick
With runaway bidding like this, whether at this level, or world famous international Auction Houses. A kind of hysteria grips the bidder's, and they cannot stop , its a kind of madness.
I thought they offered to split the result 50 50 with the original owner but when he found out that the BBC share was going to charity he said to give the whole lot. Don't know where I heard that, and I could be wrong.
All the profits made from the auction go to Children In Need plus it's not as if the bought it from a private seller it was bought from a business seller so he would have made a profit when he sold it to Paul anyway. I would imagine if the monies wasn't going to charity OR had been bought from a private seller they would have split the profits. I know on another show (not the Road Trip) where an item was auctioned off after they bought an item from a private seller and I think they got about £10k or more for the item the program contacted the private seller and gave them majority of the profits as they said on the program that it would not have been ethically correct to not have given them the majority of the profit as they had actually undervalued the item and did not realise how rare and valuable it was. I think the program was the Dickinsons Real Deal a few years ago?
I would like to know details of this camera. For me it seems like a private construction for macro fotography. Leaves or insects that he had in these bottles. However it have also a scope on top that it is strange for such a small camera.
You remember the scene in the Simpsons when they tried to sell his glasses? That's what I was thinking about when I saw the guy's hands shaking while holding it
My hearing does not allow me to understand what this object is. The subtitles don't seem to say either. Can someone enlighten me as to what this item is and why it was so sort after. Thankyou in advance
The dealer who sold it him for £60 must feel like topping himself . God forbid. Paul Laidlaw has forgot more about antiques than most of them will remember. Only James Lewis is up there with him.
I'm genuinely sure I heard the programme went back to the shop owner and told them it had made a lot of money and were happy to re-imburse him some of it and to the eternal credit of the owner he basically said no "I'm in the game" he had missed its value and that's how it goes.
I was trying to think, if I ever got on Bargain Hunt, which expert I would choose, but I love all of them. I adore social history and it's all so interesting, but I'd go for either Paul or Charles Hanson. Or Phil, or Anita, or Kate, or David - such lovely people I can't choose! (But it might be Paul, I can't resist a Scot)
Road Trip always shows that the experts DO know their stuff, as opposed to Bargain Hunt where they're not bothered what they pick up, as the profits don't go to charity as it does here.
I think asking for a 2000 Pound increment when he got to 20,000 was a little bit optimistic. Might have got a little bit more by asking for a smaller increment.
As a teenager you're in a great position. Get some books from the library and read up on antiques. Buy and sell a few things in your spare time and feel your way in the trade. There's nothing stopping you!!
Probably a similar amount. It's such a specialist item there's not going to be a huge demand. And people who can afford that kind of money often employ agents to track down items of interest no matter where they're on sale.
Incredibly rare 19th Century miniature camera complete in its box with all the developing chemicals. One of those things that nobody would know how valuable it was, outside of the most specialised photography experts. Most likely a museum piece. The dealer didn't know what he had. Neither did Paul Laidlaw. He just saw an item in a shop that might turn a profit. Just not one of £20,000!
A once in a lifetime find
And the fact it went to charity, even better❤️❤️❤️
Too bad charities are a scam for the most part

Some folk have footballers as their heroes, not me, Laidlaw is an absolute star. Well done mate.
That scream you can still hear 3 years later is whoever sold it for £60…
The scream that’s only surpassed by the guy that threw away his hardrive with a half billion in bitcoin on it. 🤦♂️
Crying herself to sleep every night 🌙 😪
@@rhyslewis4399 Himself - Paul bought the camera from a man.
They actually talked to the sell and he was ok with his sell. He was an antique dealer…
@@bokhans not a great advertisement for himself as a dealer if he let a 20 grand antique go for 60 pound!! 🤣
Paul is my favourite on the show, always a mine of information & a real funny guy 🌟
My favorite episode ever! ❤️❤️❤️
(And I just love that it happened to Paul of all people - just love the guy!)
For anyone worrying about the person who he bought the camera from, the BBC often offer the sellers compensation if the item sells for a ridiculous amount. The profits on ART go to charity however, I believe the seller refused to accept any such compensation.
I was wondering that; 10% compensation would have been fair, but respect to the original seller if they did refuse ...
Ron is doing quite well for himself anyway, and his son is also a dealer next door.
U could not write this: absolutely brilliant and goes to charity, Take a bow Paul.
Love the guy holding it , absolutely petrified of dropping, shaking like leaf 🤪

Paul Laidlaw is the winner and the road trip record was my favorite episode.

that was totally mega, well done 💕
The guy holding it for display, his hands started shaking more and more as the price went up. It was a bit like Del boys watch.
Saw this when on tv...if I could go on bargain hunt, id want laidlaw as my expert and anita manning to be holding the auction, always good results
Couldn't agree more,
Yeah that's been my dream team for ages! No one gets people to bid like Anita.
Yeah whenever Anita was holding the auction she always started the bidding off at a huge price! Swear they always made money when she was on!
Absolutely. Spot on.
Canny Scots, mate 😉 🏴
Well done Paul....also the sometimes forgotten underbidders who battled it up to 20k...without them it don’t make the top end. 💰 🏆
Superb Paul.....well done !!
got a tear in my eye when i watched this

Thought he did well 🙈🙈
He actually said it was for a good cause so he was happy.
Well
Thats what he said😂
@@Fitgirlkate i doubt he would have given that much to charity
Yeah, that Paul Laidlaw, thinks he's so clever, I got 60 quid for that piece of crap... 🤪

Seen this a couple of times and it's just hot me I wonder what the person who sold it to him for £60 thought if they watched it go for £20,000 they most have been sick
Or in cardiac arrest..
I can watch this time n time again
The poor guy holding it, seems to be shaking badly
Alba Gu Bràth they film the porters holding the items before the auction
If you see the whole programme the porter was shaking like that with every item.
I think once it got to 10gs I'd have put it on the table
Like a shitting dog
I was quite worried about that, too!
£20,000 and the guy displaying it had shaking hands throughout.
For antique lovers it's like an extreme sport to get the guy with parkinsons to display the item.
Paul is my favourite dealer. Amazing knowledge. Likeable personality. Very entertaining. Sorry Tim.
The guy holding it has the shakes he’s so excited.
I’d be worried if he dropped it once the gavel went down.
Guys hands were shaking from the start.
£20,000 of antique in safe hands by the look of it.
What a fantastic result, well spotted by Paul. And for charity.
It's good to see that Gerry Adams has turned over a new leaf. From Ambush to Antiques who'd have known.
I remember watching that ! Amazing ! It was a very rare thing .
The man with the Midas touch.
Laidlaw in my view is the Denis Law of Scottish antiques. The best .
Love watching Paul Laidlaw on these shows. But I love love love Miss Bliss

I never thought Anita Manning's record would be broken! Well done him!
BBC checked with the former owner who said he was pleased for Paul and the charity.
I think it was children in need
I thought they offered to split the result 50 50 with the original owner but when he found out that the BBC share was going to charity he said to give the whole lot.
Don't know where I heard that, and I could be wrong.
@@petert3355 down the pub

As I remember there was a vignette with the vendor (an old guy with a beard) who said he was very pleased! Like Only Fools and Horses in real life!
Seriously good that was!
60 quid paid and 20 grand goin to charity! Not bad for a days work! It must have been extremely rare, but what a find! Brilliant
Wonder how the person who sold it for £60 reacted when he saw this.
Is that Dr Shipman?
People talk about the dealer that sold it to Paul for £60... What about whoever sold it to that dealer?
Glad it was Paul that got it, though.
I was waiting for the shaky porter to drop it, break the bottles and the auctioneer to say ......oh ! Has anybody got a tenner ?
That would have been amazing
You never see Paul Laidlaw on Antiques Road Trip or Bargain Hunt anymore which is a great shame as he was very knowledgeable and a great character.
I only see him (in person) 2 or 3 times a year now when I've bought something from his auctions. I've known him since before he was on TV.
Is Paul still around, hasn't been on tv for ages
Paul is so knowledgeable and yet still quite humble .
Ace guy
Paul is my favourite, wonder how the seller is feeling??
He was the one holding it! :D
Wonder if this happened on the final day of the contest. If not, Laidlaw would have been using the 20 grand to buy more items.
It was the second last day
Paul is thinking why don’t I buy something else and then go back in the shop and buy it for myself😂
Hope they went back to the person they bought from for £60 and at least gave them another tenner! 😉😂
remember though he's Scot
Simon Baxter nice one
