Sarah Walker

Available for over a year

Celebrity Auctioneer Thomas Plant told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire's Sarah Walker about one amazing sale at his Greenham auction house. Thomas Plant, Celebrity Auctioneer: "We know we've made a bit of a boob when there's lots of emails asking for more images, and then some people get very cheeky these days and ask if they can buy it now. "The estimate was £1000, and she said I'm going to let it run in the auction. "There were two bids, one in London and one in Hong Kong, it got past £1000 quite quickly. I phone the client that evening, I said... we got £114,000 for it."
