What this section shows

This section follows real antique buying trips, documented as they happen and explained with complete honesty.

Each battle is created in collaboration with Kieron of Taliesin Antiques and is split into two clear parts:

Part 1 — Sourcing on the road

  • visiting antique centres, fairs, charity shops, and markets
  • discussing items in real time as they are found
  • sharing identification thoughts, doubts, and decisions

Part 2 — Dealer breakdown

  • comparing what was bought
  • revealing prices paid and expected resale values
  • analysing profits, mistakes, and risk
  • explaining the thinking behind each decision

Nothing is staged or scripted.
This series shows how antique buying actually works inside a real business, not a television-style format.

About the Antique Road Trip Battles video library

The videos in this section form a chronological field record of competitive buying trips.

Because each battle contains multiple locations, objects, and pricing decisions, it is not practical to summarise every detail within this public index page.

Instead, the titles and short descriptions provide a clear searchable record of each battle, while the complete education remains inside the private Academy.
