Do you have a treasure worth a fortune?

Old war medals are among the antiques Simon Schneider and Tim Hogarth hope to find during their visit to Fife

Simon Schneider and Tim Hogarth, best known for their apperances on shows such as Dicksonson’s Real Deal and Secret Dealers, are coming to Kirkcaldy and Leslie – and they want your antiques!

With almost 60 years’ combined experience of buying and selling antiques, gold and silver, the pair regularly work together to offer the public an opportunity to sell their heirlooms direct.

Simon said: “Tim and I receive so many enquiries from people asking us to value and buy their antiques, gold and silver that we decided to work together and offer the public a direct opportunity to meet us. We pay top cash prices and have hundreds of satisfied clients, happy to get a great deal.

“This will be the first time we have had an opportunity to visit Fife and we are looking forward to visiting Kirkcaldy and Leslie, Glenrothes.

“We hope people will search their cupboards and bring along their unwanted antiques and forgotten treasures to turn them into cash.”

Tim added: “Although we’re rivals on television Simon and I get on really well and the venues are great fun.

“Simon and I have our own specialities and together we cover all aspects of the antiques business. This means we can ensure we are able to offer the very best prices for those items we want to buy.”
