Two professional valuers ran their expert eyes over family heirlooms, rare purchases and unusual items in a charity event at Long Sutton's Market House.
More than 100 people took their valuables along to be examined by Kate and Ron Bateman, of Stamford-based Batemans Auctioneers and Valuers.
The pair often appear on popular BBC television programmes, such as Flog It! and Bargain Hunt and gave private valuations to visitors.
The event made £152, which will be split evenly between Long Sutton Civic Society and the Market House Trust.
Civic society vice-chairman Bobbie Ashton said: "I want to thank everybody who came for their patience while waiting to be seen.
"The consultations were fairly private but, put it this way, a lot of people walked out with tremendous smiles on their faces and one lady nearly had to be held down because she almost floated out."
