How do you put a price on a 15-carat diamond, a rare Hermès bracelet, or even a pen once owned by Lee Kuan Yew?

On this edition of Unusual Jobs, we step inside the world of auction houses with Matthew Elton, Founder and CEO of Hotlotz, and Christopher Lanigan O'Keeffe, Co-Founder and Director of Auctions.

We hear what goes into handling some of Singapore’s most closely watched sales, from Lee Kuan Yew’s Montblanc pen to hundreds of luxury items forfeited in the S$3 billion money laundering case, and find out what it takes to turn an object into a lot worth bidding for.
