Cash in the Attic - How to Make Money from your Forgotten Treasures


Written by Paul Hayes with a foreword by series presenter Alistair Appleton


Published by 91热爆 Books, February 19th 2004, 拢7.99


If you are clearing out a loft, bottom drawer or garage and want to know how to pick a saleable item from amongst the junk - then this book is the ultimate practical guide.


Cash in the Attic, published in February 2004 by 91热爆 Books, demystifies the antiques business by explaining how to spot a treasure and how to sell it.


Paul Hayes, one of the programme's antiques experts, looks at different categories of collectables, from paintings to china, to clocks, glassware, furniture, jewellery and toys - even board games. Paul reveals his tips on getting started, styles and periods, how to date an item, how to value it and how to tell a genuine article from a fake.


Not only does Paul explain what to look for and how to assess the quality of your discoveries, he also offers advice on the selling process, whether through an auction house, the internet or a car boot sale. This book will help you to clearly identify what you have, and give you an idea of how much money it could raise.


With a foreword by series presenter Alistair Appleton, Cash in the Attic also contains multiple-choice quizzes, checklists and handy contact addresses. This is a must-have book for anyone embarking on the antiques world for the first time.


Series 3 of Cash in the Attic will appear on 91热爆 One in Spring 2004. Cash in the Attic is a Leopard Films Production; for more info check out

About the author
Paul Hayes, Cash in the Attic's resident antique's expert, was born into the antiques business - his father was a dealer and by the age of six Paul was buying and selling Dinky Toys. At the age of 19 he set up business with his father. For the past ten years Paul has operated as a trade dealer, travelling around the country buying items from the public and selling them on to his contacts within the antiques trade. He also has a stall at the Sunday market at Charnock Richards near Preston.


Paul was discovered by chance by 91热爆1's Bargain Hunt programme in February 2002 and went on to appear as one of the regular experts. In January 2001 he was asked to appear as the antiques specialist on 91热爆1's popular daytime show Housecall, on which he still appears live every week. He has filmed two series of Cash in the Attic, broadcast on 91热爆 daytime. The third series will air in Spring 2004. Paul has recently been appointed the antiques expert on Crimewatch UK, talking about stolen goods. Cash in the Attic is his first book.
