About this listen

 The well-known TV auctioneer's entertaining and informative memoir of a life under the hammer.

When Philip Serrell - now well known for his television appearances - gave up teaching to become a professional auctioneer, he thought he was embarking on a sensible and safe career . . . a quiet life in the country with no surprises. How wrong he was. In WHAT AM I BID? he tells of life after the events he described in AN AUCTIONEER'S LOT (2006) and SOLD TO THE MAN WITH THE TIN LEG (2007), to bring his story up to date. From dodgy cars to fakes in the saleroom; angry livestock, mangled silverware and tortuous - not to mention muddy - experiences in local markets and farm sales, Philip has been there, done that and got the hoofprints on his suit to prove it.

A great set of stories leading through his life in the auction world, blended together well.
if you are in the auction world then you can start laughing before the story as you may know what happens next but even I got some lovely surprises and snorts of laughter in.
the audiobook accompanied me whilst cataloguing sale and hearing his voice reading it really took me on the journey.

Brilliant and histerical

I adored this book.
Philip Serrell is the most entertaining narrator and his stories of a life spent working with antiques is one of the funniest things I have listened to in a really long time. His observations are so astute and I started to feel like I knew the characters he was describing.

I do hope this gets the attention it deserves and I hope that Philip Serrell will write more more books in the future.

Absolutely Glorious

A very enjoyable ramble through a third chapter of Philip Serrell's life. It's full of his typical self-deprecating humour.

Great listen.
