Shampoo Can't someone on the program PLEASE suggest that that thoroughly grubby man Mike Mellody, washes his hair - and a cut wouldn't go amiss. I cannot understand why any TV company would want to hire such a grubby looking individual and put him on our TV screens! I love antique items and used to love mooching around antique shops and shows - but don't you feel we have had more than enough cheap daytime tv? Lady G3:53pm Wed 16 May

gorgeous dealer.. your best dealer is Karen Dalmeny,i would marry her tomorrow!!..the worst rip off rude shark is Jo Bradshaw...what a horrible rude person. fred nerk3:39pm Thu 12 Apr
rip off merchants its quite clear that dickinson works for the dealer..they want to rip the seller off.. fred nerk3:25pm Thu 12 Apr
Insults Sellers are over ambious and greedy if they want a good price and put a reserve price for the amount they want to would accept. Dd is so rude and arrogent and definately on the side if hoggy and his mates. Ian townsend usually gives a good price, unless dd rushes in in time to stop him paying more than the 'independent valuers'. And I definately dont believe the profits they reckon they make. You only need to check the one that sells on ebay.
Warning Dont let anything go to auction without a reserve thats high enough to cover the commission charges. Dee9:52pm Mon 19 Mar

Don't Buy From Rude Sellers If someone spoke to me the way that woman just spoke to the blonde dealer (glass silver pot), I would've told her to take her chances at auction...not offer her over the guide price...where were you Dickinson?! PS I love the above mentioned indian guy - he's the best :D pollywaddle 4:43pm Mon 12 Sep
Prime time I think it's awful that this programme is on at 9pm. It's bad enough on day time TV. GM7:35pm Fri 19 Aug
short changed with adverts good show but theres 20 minutes of adverts and about 5-8 minutes advertising their competition so for every hour you only get just over 30 minutes of the actual dealing. pretty bad. t3:13pm Mon 15 Aug
DD working for dealers he definitely, is not working for the public frankolot3:23pm Fri 29 Jul

Dealers paid? As well as making a potential profit from their purchases, are the dealers paid to be on the show by the production company? StevieBoy3:28pm Sun 22 May

he is too orange but i love him because hes so appealing to men like me! cj drew2:44pm Tue 11 Jan
New format cuts out David Dickinson ...and gives the show over to the flinty eyed, greedy dealers. DD used to intervene on behalf of the seller, and he evened up the playing field. I would trust his word. But those dealers...what a shower! Bring back the Duke - give him his show back - he's a good, entertaining presenter and the public like him. Liz8:36pm Tue 14 Sep
Joe Brayshaw Is a dealer that does not appear to have much knowledge. She regards herself as a general dealer but knows little about any item that is put in front of her. Adam4:39pm Mon 30 Aug

If you dont like it, Dont watch it.. D. D. makes this show,the dealers are there to make a living, and a show, The sellers are given advice, and can make up their own minds. Good luck to them all, including D.D. JIMBO 996:01pm Wed 21 Jul

real deal ure show sucks !!!!!! aiden o mally8:52am Wed 21 Apr
recent change in show's format The recent change in format, which has been aired several times, has made me switch off to the show as the lack of independent valuations and the Duke not intervening nor partaking in the deals being negotiated has taken away the exciting and interesting atmosphere usually associated with the show. This format of the show leaves members of the public at the mercy of the dealer and appears to be biased in favour of the dealer rather than an equal platform. Ranting Rach4:51pm Wed 14 Apr
its good for daytime tv been watching for about 18 months, its about the only thing on i think is decent during the day. a downside is they keep going on about the competition four times in 45 minutes which prob brings the show down to 35-40 minutes total for every hour u spend watching, it was never this bad if you watch the early series.
most stingey dealer is Michael Hogben by along way, constantly underpays and tries to convince the seller theyre getting a good deal.
i always wonder if its called the real deal as dickenson wants to say hes the real deal compared to that flamboyant antiques presenter on bbc1, Tim Wonnacott , who replaced dickenson when he did bargin hunt. tw3:21pm Tue 6 Apr

Rip off Auction dealer I only wish I had contacted Bonhams auction dealers first before handing over my old teddy to Dickinson Real Deal auction. I eventually had to call the auctioneer weeks after the auction to find out if it had been sold, only to be told, err yes it had, but it hadn't been paid for and they would be sending me a cheque for £130 pounds (which was reserve), but couldnt tell me when they would send the cheque. I really regret I didnt do my research, as Bonhams had quoted around the £300 pound region for my old bear. Belinda6:48pm Tue 2 Mar
