0:23:21 > 0:23:22When you say to somebody,

0:23:22 > 0:23:26"That piece is worth £1 million" or whatever it is,

0:23:26 > 0:23:28what does "worth" mean?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30D'you know, that's a really good question, because

0:23:30 > 0:23:33I've done whole talks on the subject.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Cos it comes down to value - what is value?

0:23:36 > 0:23:40A value for insurance purposes is completely different to an auction value.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- particularly in jewellery, which is what I specialise in.- Exactly.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48So ultimately I would say that "value" or what something's worth

0:23:50 > 0:23:52- That's it, isn't it? - At the end of the day.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55And this is a sort of off-the-wall question, I know,

0:23:58 > 0:24:02working in the sort of area that you work in, will they be honest

0:24:02 > 0:24:05- or will they rip you off? - Oh, they're... They're a colourful group that I work with.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08Ah! Oh, yes.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Dealing is the art of the chase ultimately,

0:24:10 > 0:24:12and it comes down to

0:24:12 > 0:24:15one man's wit against another man's, if you like -

0:24:15 > 0:24:17one man's knowledge against another man's knowledge.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20If somebody knows what a piece might be,

0:24:20 > 0:24:23then...it's their wit against somebody else's.

0:24:23 > 0:24:24So -

0:24:24 > 0:24:27the trick is if you ARE going to sell it, find out a lot about it.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28Exactly.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Now, then...

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Yeah... This is the tricky bit!
