Flog It!Dickinson's Real Deal is an ITV, UK modern antiques and collectables television programme presented by David Dickinson. The new series air on the ITV Network whereas old episodes are repeated on ITV3.
Contents
The Show
The shows are recorded in venues in the United Kingdom. Members of the public are invited to bring their antiques and collectables along. Independent valuers put an estimate on how much they think the items are worth. This figure is revealed to the audience at home.
The items are then passed to the dealers, who make their own valuation and try to purchase them by placing a cash offer on the table. David Dickinson may step in and give some advice.
The seller then decides whether to accept or decline the deal. If the deal is declined items go to auction.
