What do you have that could be worth a lot of money?

It annoys me on antiques roadshow when someone turns up with something they bought a couple of months ago in an antiques shop.

My house is worth a lot as I live in London. Anything else I have isn't worth much in comparison. I have an oil painting and Victorian display cabinet each of which are worth £1000 to £2000 - not much compared with house prices.

We inherited a ghastly masonic ring from my FIL. It is certainly gold, but the stone is huge - if it is a diamond and not, as I suspect, a cubic zirconia, it could be worth a bit.

Mrs P, she's priceless -- must be, I put her on eBay and didn't get a bid sad

No, you're not HildaW, or, if you are, so are DH and I!

Only my house, nothing in it is worth much except to me.

No not just you Hilda smile Also as someone who has a little knowledge of antiques, it also surprises me when people don't have a clue about their item.
Sadly I don't have anything that could be worth what I consider to be a lot of money. I do have an art deco bronze figure, but it's not top notch.

I agree hilda

And, the answer to the op is not much.smile

Slightly off subject here.....but does anyone else find it a tad annoying when someone rolls up on Antiques Roadshow with some heirloom that they already know loads about......it becomes more like 'Show and tell' and just a tad 'Look at me'......but perhaps I'm just a grumpy ole thing.

Following Katek's post about the oldest thing in your house, is there something you have which could turn out to be worth " loadsamoney!" I think there was someone on Antiques Roadshow last week with a painting "maybe worth millions".

Sadly, I can account for everything at Daddima Towers, and nothing worth anything!
