RAID your jewellery boxes and plunder the garage because Flog It! is coming to the Costa Blanca!
Mark Stacey, renowned British auctioneer, will be in Javea on September 14 (Saturday) to value your trinkets and even give you a juicy offer.
The TV personality has appeared on Bargain Hunt, Flog it!, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is and the Antiques Road Trip – but this trip will be raising funds for charity Guardian Angels.
“Six years ago Mark came over and we had over 400 people through the door,” Sue Nutbrown, president of Guardian Angels, told the Olive Press.
“If your items are worth something, Mark will make you an offer and then livestream you its auctioning back in the UK.”
The charity afternoon will take place at the Palacio de la Paz, 20 Calle de la Salvia, and floggers will be charged €5 for a valuation.
Guardian Angels operates from Gandia down to Torrevieja guiding families, particularly expat Brits, through separation and divorce.
“Our work is so important. In the UK families tend to have aunts and uncles around for support, but in a foreign country situations can get complicated,” Sue said.
“We try to help in any way we can.”
Sue said the event six years ago raised €6,000, which went to everything from ‘counselling’ to ‘medical care’ and ‘repatriation’.
She said one of Europe’s finest pianists Lola Smolokowski would be ‘jingling the keys’ inside the house, while animal shelters and children’s charities would also be on site.
