Any fans on here?
Love it, just discovered it so a lot of catch up.
I didn't like "Drew" much to start with but have warmed to him,certainly knows his stuff.
I was probably a bit jealous would love the lifestyle, arsing around the UK rummaging in sheds etc,buying stuff and turning tidy profit. Seems honest enough as well.
Love it! Did you see the one a few weeks back at the big house near Scorton? Walked into one of the rooms and had a load of old Boro posters etc on the walls!
Its like those US Storage Wars programs. The TV company pays the stars and they overpay on the lockers, products etc. Same with Drew, without the TV money, he'd not be paying those prices with all the travelling and overheads.I like it but the numbers just don't add up... it seems he always makes a massive profit yet there's no mention of his running costs, wages, VAT etc

Let's not also forget that what you see on the show will only be a small fraction of what he actually buys from each dealer, and they obviously cannot film at every place he visits on these buying trips.His turnover of stuff away from the cameras is massive. He's buying online constantly. Turns over many thousands in a day ... he has to. As you say, there's staff and overheads to pay. He earns way more from the antiques business than from the tv shows.
