    visit auctions and second-hand shops to find that one
    item that will make us a millionaire! Total /60

    In these programmes experts visit people’s homes to


    search them for interesting items to sell at auction, or
    they take people to markets and shops to help them
    find a bargain. And it’s not just old antiques that are of
    interest – people are making money from items they
    bought just ten or fifteen years ago.
    But why do we have this fascination? Why do these
    programmes send us hurrying to look through the
    things we’ve had for ages? ‘It’s only human nature to
    want something for nothing!’ says expert Nadia Thomas.
    ‘We take great pleasure in getting money for something
    we thought was worthless! It’s like the desire we have
    as children to find hidden treasure. This is the adult
    equivalent!’
    So, what about that painting that your great-aunt left
    you when she died? You’ve always hated it but who
    knows – it could be worth a fortune! And you could be
    on TV!
