I stopped watching, it has turned into a screechy shouty programme. Also bargain hunters who have no empathy for the sellers. Horrible programme

We get things late here. I agree, it is getting a bit past its use by.

I think it is way past it's sell by date.

I love The Bidding Room. I think it is a brilliant concept AND it has Nigel Havers!

I only turn it on for the auction at the end while I am waiting for the lunchtime News.

A lot of it must be edited out so maybe the stall holders are reimbursed the difference and we don’t see that.

I’m useless at bargaining. I used to cringe standing next to DH who always drove a hard bargain.

He always said it was because he was from Yorkshire! 😂

Some of the participants are dreadful and it seems to me they are always trying to bargain down prices at the expense of some stall holders who look pretty poor themselves. A couple of women I was watching today actually made me cringe and even their ‘expert’ seemed appalled by them. Some are good and bargain in a reasonable way but couldn’t they cull these dreadful greed buckets- it is quite obvious what they are from the start.
