Burghley House will be hosting the Flog It Valuation Day.  Rather like a treasure hunt, members of the public are invited to bring along the antiques and collectables they might be interested in selling. Once valued, the owner and team of experts decide whether it should go forward for auction.  If the item is chosen it is sold a few weeks later – often with the owner making a tidy sum.  Everyone who goes along to the Valuation Day will receive a valuation – even if their antiques are not chosen to go forward for auction.

Previous programmes have seen a small cream jug sold at auction for £1,300; a ceramic bowl, bought for £4 at a car boot sale, achieving £1,500; and a lady in Aberdeen sold a Shelley tea set for a huge £3,400! So if you've ever wondered how much those boot sale bargains or clutter in the loft might be worth, now is your chance to find out.

Presented by Paul Martin, Flog It! will be at Burghley House, Stamford, Lincs, PE9 3JY on Friday 14th May 2010 from 9.30am until 4.00pm. The auction will take place on Wednesday 2nd June 2010 at Golding Young and will be broadcast as part of the ninth series this year. Free Admission for Flog It! Weather permitting this will be an outdoor event.
