Charles Hanson, a star of BBC's Antiques Road Trip, made a significant profit at auction after purchasing a Liberty & Co stool for £468.88. The stool, noted for its unique design, was bought from an antique shop in Honiton. At the auction, initial bids started at £80 but quickly escalated. Bidders competed fiercely, and the stool ultimately sold for £1,050, much to Hanson's delight. He expressed his excitement, stating he was "over the moon" with the outcome. This successful sale marked a notable turnaround for Hanson, who had initially felt buyer's remorse after spending his entire budget on one item. His bold gamble paid off, earning him a substantial profit.
