At the Auction is shot inside a working auction house. It is an ideal environment in which to follow unique items from the moment they're placed on the exhibition floor until they're sold at auction.

The series is hosted by veteran auctioneer, Leslie Hindman. "The goal of our show," says Leslie, "is to demystify the whole auction process. It's simpler than most people think and a lot more fun."

The series answers such questions as: How do I know what I’m looking at? How can I spot good quality when I see it? How much is grandma’s teapot worth? How do I start a collection? How do I tell the difference between an "antique" and something that’s old, but not valuable? How do I find an auction house? How do I go about bidding at an auction?
