Antique Buyers

antique buyers: Based on the popular U.K. TV series, " Four Rooms " finds participants trying to sell their valuable objects to one of Canada's leading antique buyers for top dollar. Each person presents an item, makes their case and then meets with a buyer in a room to negotiate the price. This is where intuition and greed come into play. The seller can turn down an offer, but if they leave the room to press their luck with another buyer, there is no going back. Essentially they can hit the jackpot or go home empty-handed, according to Huffington Post. These guys are pros, though, and Rogo whips out some fancy device that sheds a coloured light across the painting and Every household contains hidden gems. Those family heirlooms, rare comic books, prized possessions and bizarre collectibles in the attic could potentially be worth big bucks. The question is: how to determine their worth and then cash in? CBC's new reality series "Four Rooms" brings that process front and centre. Today on a stage in the CBC building, the panel of residing buyers -- Derreck Martin, Jessica Lindsay Phillips, Scott Landon and Eddy Rogo -- are circling a painting. The four specialists get a couple of minutes to look over and scrutinize a product before the bidding commences. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
