Art and Literature valuation

Rock and roll thread for a Saturday night!

However has anyone had anything like this valued. Basically my dad has (or more accurately had rip dad) a handwritten verse of “Digging” by seamus Heaney.

How would you go about it and how much would it cost roughly to value. Thanks

Maybe this too:

Perhaps the auction houses that are mentioned have an online presence. That would then enable you to approach them.

I'm no expert in this field, but we really need more information.
Specifically of the photographic nature.
If you could post a couple of pics of your wife, preferably in various states of undress, that, I feel, would be most helpful.

I have a limited edition orange Kit Kat that I have been hanging on to for a few years now.

Been wondering how much that might be worth.

Swap for yours?

I'm no expert in this field, but I'm led to believe the value of said kit kat is directly related to the fitness of the kit kat holders wife, believe it or not.
So what I would suggest, is to post a picture of your spouse holding the kit kat in a tasteful position, between her legs, and we can make a fair judgement from there.

Bloody perverts everywhere on here ;-)

Would you be interested in a tin of Sainsburys Herring Roe, circa 1989. Bought as our first ' shop ' with the previous wife and now providing much apres dinner conversation with the present one. Excellent provenance.

Best way will be to get it in a specialist auction. They’ll give a pre auction estimate and you can set a reserve. Their fees will be something like 10-15% of hammer price + VAT.

Or you can pay for a valuation if you intend to keep it. That’ll cost £100-200 and you add it to the insurance if it’s worth a few quid and use that as a valuation record.

Good luck mate, obviously it’s not a nice topic and sorry for your loss.

Thank you. Nice words and sound advice. Would like to keep it in the family but as always these things are convoluted.

I'm afraid I'd have to turn my nose up from that one old boy, sounds a bit fishy to me.

Put it in a bank vault while you find out! Probably one of if not his best known poem.
