The Gavel and The Gabble

In this episode, Harry and Simon engage in a spirited debate on the future of auctions, weighing the merits of traditional live bidding against the rise of online platforms. They explore how technology is reshaping accessibility and transparency, while also questioning if it can ever replicate the excitement and human touch of a live auction. With insights into the pros and cons of both methods, this discussion is essential for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of buying and selling valuable items.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Gavel and The Gabble is a podcast hosted by Harry and Simon who, together, are lucky enough to run two provincial Auction Houses in Windsor, Berkshire and Seaton, Devon.

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.
