People selling antiques and collectibles can lead to entertaining haggling between the owners and potential buyers. On `Dickinson's Real Deal' antiques expert and presenter David Dickinson is party to that give and take, the results of which can produce big windfalls or big busts. Episodes feature collectors trying to sell their items (often with some historic value) to dealers, but if the two sides cannot reach an agreement on a price, the seller walks away from the bargaining table and takes the item to the auction block, hoping to make more money than the dealer offered. Of course, placing one's trust in a positive auction outcome is a gamble in itself.
