The Gavel and The Gabble

Most auctioneers have a favourite item to buy for investment, but Simon shares five ultra-timeless collectibles that could redefine your portfolio. From silver and vintage watches to rare Lego sets, he explains why scarcity, craftsmanship, and niche demand may make these assets smarter long-term bets than you’d expect. Remember, this is not financial advice.

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.

Production by David Burd

Harry and Simon reveal what’s really driving the ceramics and collectibles market right now, from Crown Derby to Martin Brothers. If you collect, sell, or invest, this episode uncovers the trends, psychology, and timing that can make all the difference.
