0:00:02 > 0:00:06Welcome to Cash In The Attic. The show that finds the treasures in your home
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and then helps you sell them at auction.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12I'm in Essex and you may wonder what I'm doing in the middle of woodland.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14I've come to see this bungalow which
0:00:14 > 0:00:18may look insignificant, but hides a very big secret.
0:00:18 > 0:00:24Kelvedon Bunker stretches deep underground and is encased in ten feet of reinforced concrete.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27It was built in 1952 and at the height of the Cold War
0:00:27 > 0:00:31in the 1960s, it became a regional government bunker.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36600 people could have survived three months behind the blast-proof doors to organise
0:00:36 > 0:00:42the survival of the population in the aftermath of our worst nightmare - a nuclear war.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Let's just hope as we dig deep today we find plenty of treasures
0:00:46 > 0:00:49that will make us lots of cash when they go under the hammer at auction.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Coming up on today's Cash In The Attic...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16an unusual challenge for our expert.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19The question is what price for love?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Oh, priceless. They're priceless...exactly.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24And although some of his valuations go down well...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Not bad for a jumble sale!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30No, not bad at all! Wonderful!
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Others are more of a shock!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34No! No! Yeah!
0:01:34 > 0:01:39But it's not all bad news at auction... Fifty pounds!
0:01:39 > 0:01:40That's really good!
0:01:40 > 0:01:44So, will we be dancing for joy when the final hammer falls?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I'm on my way to meet a lady who has called Cash In The Attic
0:01:49 > 0:01:54to help her raise some funds for a day of family fun.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56This cosy semi in Stanford-le-Hope in Essex
0:01:56 > 0:02:00is home to trainee Reiki master, Angie Joughin-Coppin.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Angie has inherited a real mixture of items from her family and having lived, and hoarded,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09in this house for eight years, the clutter is beginning to take over.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Now, she's decided it's time for a clear-out
0:02:12 > 0:02:15and has big ideas on how to spend the cash.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19So with help from her only daughter, Melissa, it's time to get to work.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Hey, you'll never guess where I've been?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Where? I've been to a nuclear bunker underground. What have you been doing there?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Just having a look round, like you do.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30It sounds like it's out of a James Bond movie!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Not quite that glamorous, I'm afraid.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37You've always been my favourite James Bond girl! That's very kind of you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40The lady that we're seeing today does Reiki and massage, all that kind of thing.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I've got a bit of a bad back coming on.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I'll get her to have a look at you after you've rummaged around.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Rummage away. Ooh!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Morning. Hello.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You must be Angie, and Melissa? Yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Well you've called us in so what do you want us here for, Angie?
0:02:55 > 0:03:01To try and get as many pennies as I can to help towards my travelling.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06I want to go around the world. It's something I've wanted to do since I was a teenager.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10So what countries do you want to go to? Is there anywhere in particular?
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Yes. I'd like to end up in Australia, having gone to India.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20It's very holistic there and I'm into holistic medicine and theories and therapies.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Isn't it slightly the wrong way round?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Isn't it the kids that go back-packing
0:03:24 > 0:03:26and you look after the grandkids?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Well, it's not something I would do myself.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I like the comforts of home and the comforts of hotels
0:03:32 > 0:03:36whereas mum would be quite happy going backpacking
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and staying in hostels, where it's not a thing that I'd like to do...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41No... I'm a hotel sort of person.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I'm more a power shower person, I have to say. All my comforts.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47What do you think about her therapies?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Has she tried them out on you?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Yes, she has and I've had the Indian head massage and back massage.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Oh lovely, no wonder you're looking so smiley and relaxed, hey?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59What money are we looking for?
0:03:59 > 0:04:05?300 to ?400 I think I'll get with the stuff I've got.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08It would pay towards perhaps the plane trip,
0:04:08 > 0:04:13but also I'd like to take the grandchildren to Ceroc which is French rock 'n' roll.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15OK, right OK, well that sounds fun.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19OK, so we're looking to raise around ?300 to get you off on your trip
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and also for everyone to have a good dance.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24That sounds like a great idea.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Shall we go and meet our expert?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Yeah. So do you want to follow me?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Getting money for a round the world ticket and dancing lessons for the grandkids
0:04:33 > 0:04:39sounds fantastic and I have the feeling we're in for a fun day with this mother and daughter team.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42With so many items to choose from, I'm glad we have our antiques
0:04:42 > 0:04:46expert, James Rylands, on hand, to steer us in the right direction.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51It looks like he's already got one eye on Angie's family heirlooms.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Hello, James. Hi, Angie, hi, Mel. Now, where did this come from?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58As far as I know, it's my granddad and he probably got it
0:04:58 > 0:05:04down the docks because he was a docker in the late 1800s.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06OK. Do you know what it is? No, no.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10It's just a box we use to put the cigarette cards in.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Well, what it started life as is a tea caddy.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Oh, gosh!
0:05:15 > 0:05:19And it dates probably to round about 1850s, 1860s.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22The reason I know that is because of the size of the caddy,
0:05:22 > 0:05:29the point being that the earlier ones tend to be a lot smaller because tea was much more expensive.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35When it first came in in the 17th century, it was hugely, hugely expensive and valuable so it
0:05:35 > 0:05:39was kept in much smaller tea caddies which had a lock on them
0:05:39 > 0:05:42so the servants couldn't steal the tea.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44We couldn't have that, could we?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48And as time went on through the 18th century and the 19th century,
0:05:48 > 0:05:56the caddies tended to get bigger and bigger as the tea became less expensive and with this one,
0:05:56 > 0:06:00inside you can see two lines on the inside there. That's it, yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Is there compartments for different...?
0:06:02 > 0:06:08That's right, so this would have been lined and then there would have been a compartment on either side.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10One side would have had green tea,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14the other side would have had black tea, so Indian or China,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and then the middle bit would actually have had
0:06:16 > 0:06:20a little glass silver mixing bowl if you wanted to mix your teas,
0:06:20 > 0:06:26but like so many tea caddies, it's been through the wars a bit, someone has taken
0:06:26 > 0:06:29the lock out and I notice someone's dropped it at some stage
0:06:29 > 0:06:32because the top doesn't quite shut, so let's see.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34What do we think this is worth?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Because it's had the guts taken out of it
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I'm probably thinking about something like ?25 to ?40. Ah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43But that's still...it's not bad. Yes, it's a step on the runway.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Yep, yep. Well, that's the good news.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The bad news is, we haven't got time to stop for tea...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51we've got to find some more things!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Come on, this way.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55It may have been through the wars,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59but ?25 for the tea caddy is still a good start to our search.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04We need to rack up a lot more finds if we're going to reach out ?300 target, though.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Angie has got that plane ticket in her sights
0:07:07 > 0:07:12and gets stuck in straightaway in the search, digging out this collection of costume jewellery.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16James thinks it could be worth a very sparkly ?15 to ?30 at auction.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19In the living room, Melissa comes up trumps
0:07:19 > 0:07:21when she finds this collection of card games
0:07:21 > 0:07:24which used to belong to her great-grandfather.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27They get packed off to auction with a ?10 to ?15 price tag.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Our search has got off to a cracking start and in the kitchen,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Angie has dug out a rather tasty-looking find.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Ooh, Angie, what have you got there?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Well, this belongs to a dinner set, given by a friend, many moons ago,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44because I used to do a lot of dinner parties
0:07:44 > 0:07:48and quite often there's a dozen of us at dinner each night.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50OK.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Well, look, I can see here we've got the actual maker.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Oh, isn't this wonderful. Look at this.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00W Holme, North Road, Burslem, England, and more specifically
0:08:00 > 0:08:05it's potteries country, so the nearest big city is going to be Stoke-on-Trent.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08That's where huge quantities of china have been made
0:08:08 > 0:08:11from the 18th century right the way through to today.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16We've got the mark on the back, picture of a kiln, so you've got "Reliable",
0:08:16 > 0:08:19that tells you how hard-wearing it is and then "England"
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and then "Princess" that's the name of the pattern
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and then we've got "Made in England"
0:08:25 > 0:08:30and a registration stamp. "Made in England" tells me it was made probably about 1900,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33because if it had been pre-that, it would just have had "England"
0:08:33 > 0:08:35written on it.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39The registration number, that will actually tell us what date
0:08:39 > 0:08:41the pattern was first registered.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Oh, gosh, what's wonderful. So a lot of information there.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46OK, so how many bits have you got?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I think I've got five or six plates,
0:08:50 > 0:08:56yes, five or six dinner plates, side plates, two serving plates, two tureens and a gravy bowl.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59You've broken some, haven't you?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Yes.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Well, I'll tell you what, you've contributed to the value
0:09:04 > 0:09:09because with maybe five or six plates and other bits and pieces,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'm going to disappoint you with the valuation.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16It's probably going to be ?20 to ?30 worth. No!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Yeah! Goodness! But listen, look on the bright side.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25It's money in the kitty towards making sure that you have a nice time. Excellent.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Let's find some more. Lead the way.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Angie's dinner parties may have to go on hold for a while, but ?20 to ?30
0:09:31 > 0:09:34is another addition to our globetrotting fund.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Whilst James and Melissa carry on the search indoors,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I take a few minutes to catch up with our holistic therapist.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44So how long have you been into the Reiki?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48I started about 1999 - 2000
0:09:48 > 0:09:52and I'm learning to be a master now and then hopefully a teacher afterwards.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55What is the significance of becoming a master?
0:09:55 > 0:10:01You're more powerful, so you can heal better and more quickly
0:10:01 > 0:10:06and also from being a master you can help and teach others.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08So how exactly does it work?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It actually speeds up recovery
0:10:11 > 0:10:16by initiating the energy within you to self-heal itself,
0:10:16 > 0:10:22so there's no drugs, there's no unclothing,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24it's just touch.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29And it complements medical healing as well and it speeds that up.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Now apart from that, you also want to go on this fantastic trip
0:10:32 > 0:10:36so where do you think that has come from in your family background?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I really, really don't know.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45I like the excitement of different places,
0:10:45 > 0:10:50different areas and I want to see it and hear it, feel it and touch it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Now, you're also into your dancing, too.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57It's a very unusual form of dancing. How did you get involved in that?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I've always, always loved dancing, from a little one.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05My feet are all weird from dancing as a child and trying to tippy-toes.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I danced as a teenager, but I love the freedom of dancing.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I don't like the technical side of...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14you have to do this and you have to do that, but when you can
0:11:14 > 0:11:20just let the music come in your body and just flow it out through your body,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23it's, oh...it's lovely!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25And what about the grandchildren? Have they been to a class?
0:11:25 > 0:11:31I've been doing Ceroc for over a year, so they know I do it, but they haven't seen it...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33they haven't seen it or seen me do it,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36but I'd love to drag them along as well
0:11:36 > 0:11:41cos I know they'll just roll over on the floor, laughing!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Hopefully we'll be able to drag them along to a class, but not unless we
0:11:44 > 0:11:46get enough stuff to sell,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50shall we see what Mr Rylands has found for us?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Angie is a colourful character and the dancing sounds like a lot of fun.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58We need to crack on with the search and raise ?300 for her travels,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01so I hope the others have been busy indoors.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Mel. Yes, James.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Where did all these come from?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10They were my great uncle Albert's and they were passed down to my mum.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Was she a very keen smoker? I believe so.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Do you know how they came about?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16No, I've got no idea at all.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Well, what happened was in the early cigarette packets,
0:12:19 > 0:12:23and I'm talking in the sort of late 1800s here,
0:12:23 > 0:12:29they needed card to stiffen up the packet so that the cigarettes wouldn't get crushed
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and then after a while they thought
0:12:32 > 0:12:34why don't we actually put a picture on them,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38and that's actually how the cigarette cards evolved.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Some of it was advertising and then they thought
0:12:41 > 0:12:44well let's have a bit of fun with this and funnily enough,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47these ones were all produced by WD and HO Wills
0:12:47 > 0:12:52who were one of the leading tobacco companies and they
0:12:52 > 0:12:56were also the first ones to produce cigarette cards in, I think, about 1888.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Oh. And they produced lots and lots of different sets.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04This one is Association Footballers for 1935 -1936.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08That was the heyday of cigarette cards.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11It was also the heyday of when lots and lots of people smoked.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Some of them were just produced as blank books to put them in.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Some of them, like this one, it actually says
0:13:17 > 0:13:20you've got a place for each card and then you stick them in.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Could you buy these separately?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26You bought them separately. "Price one penny". Not bad.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28The fags cost a lot more than that,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31but the actual book you put them in cost a penny
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and funnily enough, some of the ones that aren't stuck in,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37because it damages the card, can be worth more
0:13:37 > 0:13:41because people quite like to have the loose ones that she could frame up
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and then put in sets on the wall.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46They're probably not worth quite as much as they were.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49They were more fashionable at one point.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I think a lot of it is the whole smoking thing
0:13:51 > 0:13:55being less and less fashionable. Quite a nice collection here.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59From what I can see there, it's probably ?20 or ?30, something like that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I'm probably being a bit mean, but that's great.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Although we don't want all of our profits to go up in smoke,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I want you to find me some things to look at.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Thank you. Let's go.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15?20 may not seem a lot for the cards, but every pound counts towards our target today.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Angie has been busy, too and has found this Yves Saint Laurent dress,
0:14:19 > 0:14:25which her mum bought from a charity shop for the sum of two shillings and ten pence.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Having worn it many times, she's decided it's
0:14:27 > 0:14:33time to let it go to a new home, and James values it at ?25 to ?50.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Downstairs in the living room, I'm pitching in with the search,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and find this pair of glass vases.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42They belonged to Angie's parents and we're hoping they'll put a sparkle
0:14:42 > 0:14:47in the bidder's eye at auction, with a ?10 to ?20 price tag.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Our search is going well so far today, but we've still got to
0:14:50 > 0:14:55bag a few more collectables if we're going to get Angie that round the world ticket.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Whilst Melissa carries on the hunt downstairs,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00in the bedroom, I think I might have struck gold.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Angie, this is lovely, I like this.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Where did that come from?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I know. I found that, actually.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10That was at a jumble, years and years and years ago.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12That was a good find.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14So can it now be sold? Oh, gosh, yes.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16We need to get James in. James.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I've found a nice vase which came from a jumble sale.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Really?! You did well with this.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Well, I'll tell you what's unusual about it is this bit at the bottom here... The bellow?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Yeah. What that is, is usually on the French ones it's quite rough,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32it's what we call a pontil mark
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and that's where when the glass is blown,
0:15:35 > 0:15:40they snap it off on the end of the rod and you get a rough bit,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44but on the French ones they usually left it quite rough,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48but on the English ones, they finished it off.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52That actually reminds me far more of an English maker
0:15:52 > 0:15:56and I'll stick my neck out slightly on this one and say that I think it
0:15:56 > 0:16:03could be by a firm called Whitefriars, but they weren't called that when this was made.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07When this was made, it was made by a firm called James Powell Sons.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12The factory actually goes back to, I think, about 1834
0:16:12 > 0:16:17and I would think this dates to 1910, something like that, 1900 to 1910.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23In the 1960s, I think it was, they actually renamed themselves
0:16:23 > 0:16:26the Whitefriars Glass Company.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31From then onwards that their most collectable designs have been,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34but we'll have to see at the auction if anybody agrees,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37but I'm going to stick my neck out and put a value of ?60 to ?80 on it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I'm happy with that. Not bad for a jumble sale!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42No, not bad at all! Wonderful!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44That would top up the coffers, wouldn't it?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46The proof of the pudding will be see what's on...
0:16:46 > 0:16:51The proof of the pudding will be getting it to auction in one piece, so, wrapping I think!
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Come on! Yes, exactly! Well done.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I hope he doesn't drop it!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58?60 to ?80 for the vase is a fantastic addition to our kitty.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Angie's house really is proving to be full of surprises.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05I'll leave Mr Rylands to do the rummaging
0:17:05 > 0:17:08and take a few minutes to find out more about this mother and daughter duo.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10You two seem very close.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Has it always been like that?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Yes. Yes, we are very close.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Yes, we talk to each other all the time and go out on days and...
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Mainly out with the children, really.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Zoos and days out in the park, theme parks..
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Swings...
0:17:26 > 0:17:30How easy is that for you, you've got some problems with your foot, haven't you?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Yes, but when we go out I have a wheelchair that I can use
0:17:33 > 0:17:36or my crutches, I can always find a way to get around.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40I was born with extra bones in my feet and then throughout the years,
0:17:40 > 0:17:46they're rubbing together and rubbing on the ligaments made them in-turn,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49so I have had to have lots of operations to bring them back to normal
0:17:49 > 0:17:53which they are looking normal now, but pain-wise, not getting any better.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56So do any of your mum's therapies help?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00She has done Reiki on my feet.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Because it's a condition with the bones of my feet, she does help,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08obviously, pain-wise she can help and it does help
0:18:08 > 0:18:12on the day when she does it, but long-term, there's nothing she can do.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16It's still nice to have a massage, or a facial or something...
0:18:16 > 0:18:20She'll give me a nice massage, makes me feel better, so that's always good.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25I'd have to do it every day with Mel because it's such a long-term thing.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Usually, the healing amounts to how long you've had it
0:18:29 > 0:18:33and because Mel's has been long-term, I would have to give
0:18:33 > 0:18:37long-term continual healing every day and it isn't practical.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Now, this is quite a bit adventure that she's going on, isn't she?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Have you got any concerns about it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47It is, but Mum wouldn't want it any other way, she loves travelling.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51She'll make friends at the drop of a hat,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54she'll be fine, she'll really enjoy it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58We won't to be able to do those things, unless we find something to sell.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03We're nearly at the end of today's search and still need to rack up a few more finds,
0:19:03 > 0:19:08but we're in safe hands, as James is leaving no stone unturned in his quest for collectables.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12He's been searching in the garage and finds this pair of coffee tables.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16One came from a jumble sale and the other was given to Angie by a friend
0:19:16 > 0:19:18and although they've been well-used over the years,
0:19:18 > 0:19:23James thinks they could still bag us ?20 to ?30 at auction.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Back inside the house two of Angie's grandkids are back from school and hard at work,
0:19:27 > 0:19:31but no piece of furniture is safe from our expert's eagle eye.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I can see there's a lot of industry going on here, Megan and Harry.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37So, do you use this table much?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Yeah. Harry, what do you use it for?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Homework and having dinner on it and everything.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46But do you know what the really sad thing is? Yeah, go on.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51The last few years, millions of dining rooms across this country
0:19:51 > 0:19:55have just been turned into entertainment rooms or cinema rooms
0:19:55 > 0:19:59and what that means is that something like this,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01really nice mahogany dining room table,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05you've got a set of six chairs as well, it's not antique,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10it was made very much in the 20th century, but in an 18th century style,
0:20:10 > 0:20:14and having a look underneath I can actually see that
0:20:14 > 0:20:20it's got what we call concertina action which means that you've got the leaf and you wind it up.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23It's probably got a big windy handle that goes with it.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24What is it worth?
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Angie, I know I'm going to disappoint you when I say this,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32but I could see on a not very good auction day
0:20:32 > 0:20:37a set of six chairs like this and the table, a hundred quid.
0:20:37 > 0:20:43No! I might be erring on the mean side, but that is where the market has gone.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46We haven't done very well with this so, guys,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49what do you think about my valuation on the table?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It's not very good. We do everything on this table.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Well, that means that we've got to go off round the house
0:20:55 > 0:20:58and see if we can find something valuable.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Come on, let's go.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05?100 obviously isn't as much as Angie or the kids hoped for, for the table,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and as family meals are important in this house,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11I wonder if she can bear to part with it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Something Angie is happy to let go, is this landscape painting
0:21:14 > 0:21:17by Frank Wyams, that I find in the living room.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21It was bought on her 21st birthday from an art show on Hampstead Heath
0:21:21 > 0:21:25and we're hoping it could raise ?20 to ?50 at auction.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Time has almost run out on today's rummage,
0:21:28 > 0:21:33but our expert has been busy and has one last item up his sleeve.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Ladies, look what I've found!
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Goodness!
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Fun and games! Now, I have to say, this really does take me back.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I had one of these with the bricks in.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Er, yeah, great fun. Where do they come from?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Passed down through the family, basically.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56What's interesting about these is that they're all made by the same company.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Really! I thought that was Pedigree and these were Tri-ang?
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Well, basically, Angie, the whole story started with G J Lines -
0:22:04 > 0:22:06George and Joseph Lines -
0:22:06 > 0:22:09and they established their first toy-making business
0:22:09 > 0:22:14in London in the 1850s and it was Joseph's three sons who came back
0:22:14 > 0:22:18from the First World War and decided that they wanted to form their own company -
0:22:18 > 0:22:22William, Arthur and Walter - and in 1924 they set up their own company
0:22:22 > 0:22:25and they thought, "Well, we're the Lines brothers,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28"there are three of us. What shall we call the company?"
0:22:28 > 0:22:32and in the end they thought, "Three lines make a triangle"
0:22:32 > 0:22:35so they called the company Tri-ang.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I'm not sure why it wasn't Triangle, but it was Tri-ang
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and that was the basis of the company.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44After that, the company really expanded. They were in toy-making,
0:22:44 > 0:22:49in 1931 they bought Hamleys, the toy store. Oh, gosh!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53And here's the other thing. They set up another company called Pedigree
0:22:53 > 0:22:57making dolls and soft toys and that's where this chap comes in,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01because you'll see he's got actually a thing saying "Pedigree"
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and then "Made in Northern Ireland."
0:23:03 > 0:23:07That was another one of their things. So huge expansion,
0:23:07 > 0:23:12but generations of children grew up with these and both of these here,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16I think the little dog and the cart with the building blocks dates to the 1950s.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21The rocking horse, I think, is probably slightly later in date
0:23:21 > 0:23:24and it goes without saying that the ones that are really rare
0:23:24 > 0:23:27are the ones that are still in really good condition.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31How much would you say...this is a job lot or individually, what would you suggest?
0:23:31 > 0:23:36We'll leave it to the auctioneers, so the question is, what price for love?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Ooh, priceless! They're priceless, exactly!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I would think collectively, if they did put them all in the same lot
0:23:42 > 0:23:45we might make 100 quid or something,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48but I'd probably put something like 50 to 80. Gosh!
0:23:48 > 0:23:50How do you feel about that? Is that good enough?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53That's good. You've had your time from them, haven't you?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Yeah. It will be sad to give them...
0:23:55 > 0:23:58It will be sad to see them go, but... But it's practicality.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Yeah...and they're big things to store, really, aren't they?
0:24:01 > 0:24:06OK, well, look, we've got no more time for rummaging, I'm afraid,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09cos we're completely out there, but you did want to raise ?300,
0:24:09 > 0:24:14for a bit towards the trip and also towards the dancing. How do you think you've done?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Hopefully...it seems like it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Yeah. We've found lots of nice stuff, so hopefully we've made our ?300.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well, actually you've made ?375!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Wow, that's good, yes. That would be lovely.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29All we need to do now is make sure that everything sells
0:24:29 > 0:24:33for at least the lowest estimate on the day and there's your money.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36So the next time we'll see you, and all of this lot, is at auction.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Excellent.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40We've really had a fun day here with Angie and Melissa
0:24:40 > 0:24:44and our hard work has earned us a great haul of items for the auction.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49We've got the rosewood tea caddy valued at ?25 to ?40.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52The colourful piece of Whitefriars-style glass,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54valued at ?60 to ?80.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58And the toys, with a combined estimate of ?50 to ?80.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01But only time will tell whether our dinner party lover
0:25:01 > 0:25:03will be able to part with her mahogany table and chairs
0:25:03 > 0:25:06with their ?100 estimate.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Still to come on Cash In The Attic - Some testing times at auction...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Oh, no!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16And our ladies get rather feisty!
0:25:16 > 0:25:19You're sacked! Out!
0:25:19 > 0:25:23I think you'll find you can't fire the auctioneer!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25But the highs are as big as the lows...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Oooh! Excellent!
0:25:28 > 0:25:32So, will we have reached our target when the final hammer falls?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It's been a couple of weeks since we had a good look around
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Angie's home in Essex, and with her daughter, Melissa,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45we've found lots of lovely items to bring here
0:25:45 > 0:25:48to Hampshire Auction House in Andover.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Now remember Angie is looking to raise ?300,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54part of that as a contribution to her back-packing around the world
0:25:54 > 0:25:57later on next year and another part towards a trip with the grandchildren
0:25:57 > 0:26:01to a dancing class. So let's just hope that she makes the money today
0:26:01 > 0:26:04and the bidders are feeling generous when our items go under the hammer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09There are plenty of bidders in the sale room this morning
0:26:09 > 0:26:12and whilst they get into position, our expert, James Rylands,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15has been drawn to one of our more colourful lots.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Hi, James. Morning, Lorne.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Quite a tight squeeze here today, isn't it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22It is. Lots of things. Well if the stress continues,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24we'll both need Reiki sessions after this.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Ooh, I could do with one of those, I tell you!
0:26:26 > 0:26:29We'd better get a session in before she's off round the world.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31She's a very brave lady doing that.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32I don't think I'd do it!
0:26:32 > 0:26:36And you're hoping this is going to help towards the travel fund?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40I think so. ?60 to ?80 and they've got it down as possibly by Powell,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44so in other words Whitefriars, which is where we want to be - fingers crossed. Nice thing.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48It is. What about furniture? Because we've got a few bits of furniture,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52but it's not top end and that's proving difficult to sell at the moment.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55It is. I mean I wish I was furnishing a house now because in real terms,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59all furniture, Georgian, Victorian, is so cheap, really.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Let's hope it doesn't go too cheaply, cos we've got to make the money.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Shall we go and find them? Absolutely.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It may be bargain time for people buying at auction,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12but I certainly hope our two sellers will have a successful day as well.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Having finally decided to part with some of her beloved possessions,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18how will Angie and Melissa feel about seeing them here?
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Oh, hello! Hello. You're looking very relaxed, ahead of the auction?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Yeah. How does it feel to see your items here now?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Excited, yes...sad and excited.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30And we've got those lovely toys?
0:27:30 > 0:27:36Yes. That nice little ride-on dog and the little carts, so let's just hope they find good homes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38So is there anything that hasn't come today?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Yes. We haven't brought the table and chairs because it didn't make sense.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45It cost like two, three, four times as much to replace it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I think you're being sensible.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It doesn't make economic sense, does it? Absolutely not.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Well, we're all ready to go. Shall we get in position?
0:27:52 > 0:27:53We'll follow you.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Remember that if you're planning on heading to your local auction house,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01be aware that commission and other charges will be added to your bill,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04so always check the details with the sale room first.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07The bidders are ready and waiting for the sale to begin,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and we take our places in the corner of the room,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13just in time for our first lot to come under the hammer.
0:28:13 > 0:28:20Part 1920s green band dinner service with a Princess design.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Well, let's hope the Princess bit will help it...
0:28:23 > 0:28:24sort of Royal association!
0:28:24 > 0:28:29I think the thing with this is because it's part of a service
0:28:29 > 0:28:31and it's very difficult to replace the bits,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34that's why we've just got an estimate of ?20 to ?30.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Lot 135A. Got ten, 12, 14 I'll take.
0:28:38 > 0:28:44At ?12 only and 14 I have and 16 here and 18.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47At ?16 only. Do I hear 18?
0:28:47 > 0:28:5018 I have. 20, 22.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53No? ?20 only, at ?20 only.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55I'll take one if it will help.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57120.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59No? At ?20 only then.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Ooooh!
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I take it that's a disappointment!
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Yeah! A sign of the times!
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Angie may have wanted it to fetch a bit more,
0:29:08 > 0:29:12but at least the dinner set has made its bottom end estimate.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17There's a lot of pressure on our lots to perform well today
0:29:17 > 0:29:21if we're going to have a chance of making the ?300 towards Angie's trip
0:29:21 > 0:29:23and the dance classes.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Our next lot is the large rectangular coffee table
0:29:27 > 0:29:29and another one as well.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Bearing in mind that we found them lurking in your garage,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35buried under tonnes of things. I don't think you'll miss these much.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I've only got ?14 on this.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40I'll take 16.
0:29:40 > 0:29:4216 I have. 18 here, 20 it's yours.
0:29:42 > 0:29:4520, I'm out at ?20. Do I hear 22?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48At ?20 only.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50No! ?20!
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Well, they were lurking in the garage...
0:29:53 > 0:29:56OK!
0:29:56 > 0:29:59And you've now got a big space in your garage.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01You might even want to put the car in it!
0:30:01 > 0:30:05That's right, James, focus on the positives,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08although it doesn't seem much for two coffee tables.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11?20 was another sale bang on estimate.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Maybe our rosewood tea caddy, which Angie inherited from her grandpa
0:30:15 > 0:30:18will heat things up in the sale room a bit.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20We've got ?25 to ?40 on this, so Angie...
0:30:20 > 0:30:24shall we make your grandpa proud! Absolutely!
0:30:24 > 0:30:28I've got ten, 12, 14, 16 I'll take.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31?14 only. 16 I have and 18 here. 20.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Finally 22. 25 it's yours.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Go on, I'll take four.
0:30:36 > 0:30:3924 I have, at ?24. Do I hear six?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43At ?24 only. I'll take six on the lot.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47?24. Not bad considering the condition of it. Just ?1 below.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Angie and Melissa seem pleased with that result
0:30:49 > 0:30:52and another family heirloom comes up trumps
0:30:52 > 0:30:56as the box card games double their ?10 to ?15 estimate.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59At ?20 then I'm selling.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Excellent! Yes!
0:31:00 > 0:31:03?20. Not bad for a couple of old board games, is it?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06The sale room seems to be getting going
0:31:06 > 0:31:07and if we can get more sales like that,
0:31:07 > 0:31:11then we should be back on track for our ?300 target.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Let's hope there are somme magpie-eyed bidders in the room,
0:31:15 > 0:31:19as Angie's sparkly costume jewellery comes under the hammer.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Remember we're hoping it will make ?15 to ?30.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I'll start the bidding at ?10.
0:31:24 > 0:31:2912 I have and 14, 16, and 18 and 20...
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Yes... 22,
0:31:31 > 0:31:3424, 26...
0:31:34 > 0:31:3728, 30. At ?28 only.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40I'll take 30. 30 I have. 32. No?
0:31:40 > 0:31:44At ?30 only at ?30 then I'm selling.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Oooh! Excellent!
0:31:46 > 0:31:49?30 is a great price for the jewellery
0:31:49 > 0:31:52and I think Angie was almost bursting for joy!
0:31:52 > 0:31:53It's nearly half-time,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56but not before our final lot goes under the hammer.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Now the next lot are those two enormous vases.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04They're really weighty ones. They've got that lovely fleur-de-lis design.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Let's hope somebody fancies them because if you went into Harrods to buy those,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11you would have to reach pretty deep into your pocket.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Quite nice, these. What shall we say? I've got ten, 12,
0:32:14 > 0:32:1614, I'll take 16.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19At ?14 only and 16 I have. 16 here...
0:32:19 > 0:32:21and 20?
0:32:21 > 0:32:2318 I have, 20?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25At ?20 only, it's worth that.
0:32:25 > 0:32:3122 I have, at 22. 24 I have. 26, 28.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36At ?26 only, at 26 then, I'm selling at 26.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40?26 is well over James' somewhat cautious original estimate
0:32:40 > 0:32:43and is another good addition to our coffers.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47And talking of money, it's time to tot up how we've done so far.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50We're halfway through the auction, so we've got a bit of a break.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55Before we get onto that, you wanted ?300. How do you think it's gone, Angie?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59It's not gone as nice as I... Most things have reached their estimates,
0:32:59 > 0:33:02so lower end... The lower end... unfortunately,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05but that's how it's been going in the auction as general.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09To be quite honest, you haven't done that badly. You've made ?140. That's not bad, is it?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11That's good, that's lovely. That's brilliant.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Bearing in mind you've got more to sell, that's not bad going at all!
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Right James has got things he wants to look at,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21so we've got a break before we come back this afternoon,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23so shall we? Yes! Follow me, then.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Well, it's been a mixed sale this morning,
0:33:30 > 0:33:36but most of our items have sold for not far off their estimate, so our expert can stand easy for now.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Never one to rest on his laurels, though, he's on the lookout
0:33:39 > 0:33:42for other interesting lots that are up for sale today.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Something that's caught my eye - the auctioneers have got these down
0:33:46 > 0:33:50as a pair of contemporary polished and carved stone ornaments.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55They may look contemporary and funky, but in reality they're probably the oldest thing
0:33:55 > 0:34:01in this whole auction room because they're fossils, and these chaps
0:34:01 > 0:34:06originally were from Morocco and if you look down the front here
0:34:06 > 0:34:10you can see what looks like a little...cone shape.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12This is what we call an orthoceros
0:34:12 > 0:34:16and that would have been swimming along in the ocean
0:34:16 > 0:34:19about 400 million years ago,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22and then recently someone would have excavated these, dug them up
0:34:22 > 0:34:26and then carved them into a contemporary sculpture.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32For me, I like these because it's Mother Nature at its very, very best
0:34:32 > 0:34:35and someone's given it a helping hand by carving them out.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Now the auctioneers have got an estimate
0:34:37 > 0:34:41of between ?100 and ?200 on these which I think is quite a lot,
0:34:41 > 0:34:46because they're not that rare. But the reason I like fossils so much
0:34:46 > 0:34:51is because it doesn't matter how old you are, these make you feel young.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55I like your logic, Mr Rylands! There's no time for archaeology now though,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58as the second half of the sale is under way.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00The bidders are raring to go and we get back into position
0:35:00 > 0:35:04just in time as our cigarette cards go under the hammer.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06James valued them at ?20 to ?30
0:35:06 > 0:35:09and it looks like they're off to a flying start.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13..at five, at ?22, I'll take five, five I have and eight
0:35:13 > 0:35:20and 30 and two and five and eight and 40 and two and five and eight?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24No? ?45 then. I'll take eight.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Is that a bid? No!
0:35:25 > 0:35:28?45 then, at 45 I'm selling.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33?45! That's good, isn't it! Yes, yes! Above estimate.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Yes, very nice.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36?45 is a cracking result.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39The cigarette cards really set the sale room alight.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Will our next lot have the same effect?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44It's our most highly valued item today,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47so there's a lot riding on it.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Our next lot is one of our favourites,
0:35:48 > 0:35:53that lovely, lovely vase which might be Whitefriars and Powell.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56We're still not sure and nor are the auctioneers, by the look of it.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59They've hedged their own bets with the word "possibly."
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Anyway, Angie, the market will decide. Here we go.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04What shall we say?
0:36:04 > 0:36:06I've got ?40, I'll take two.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10At ?40 only, do I hear 42 on the lot? ?40... Oh, no!
0:36:10 > 0:36:1542, 45, 48 and 50. ?50 only.
0:36:15 > 0:36:22I'll take five on the lot; two if it will help you, 52, 55, 58 and 60...
0:36:22 > 0:36:2460.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27At ?60 then, at ?60. Do I hear two?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Come on! No? At ?60 then.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Well, we got the 60. Yes!
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Rhat's good, isn't it, hey?
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Fantastic! It looks like James was on the right track
0:36:36 > 0:36:38with his hunch about it being Whitefriars
0:36:38 > 0:36:41and Angie thinks she's made a rather good investment.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45I wouldn't have paid more than 20p,
0:36:45 > 0:36:47or something like that, at a jumble sale
0:36:47 > 0:36:51and I was so, so surprised when it was even worth money.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56I thought James and Lorne might be mistaken, but no, they weren't, they was wonderful.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59We've had a great start to this afternoon's sale
0:36:59 > 0:37:05and I hope our winning streak continues as it's one of Melissa's favourite lots up next.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Next up we've got the collection of toys. So we've got the Tri-ang rocking horse,
0:37:09 > 0:37:11the baby walker and the push-along dog.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Melissa, you remember these? I do, I played with them all the time
0:37:14 > 0:37:15when I was younger.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17?50 to ?80... Fond memories.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Let's hope we alleviate some of that nostalgic pain of them going
0:37:20 > 0:37:22by them making a really good price.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26What shall we say on this one? I've got ?30, I'll take two.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28At ?30 only. At 32, do I hear?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30At ?30 only.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32At ?30, then?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Come on, it's got to be worth 32.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36At ?30 then.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Oh, no!
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Oh, dear!
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Blimey!
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I don't like you any more!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49You're sacked! Out!
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I think you'll find you can't fire the auctioneer!
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Never mind!
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Oh, dear!
0:37:55 > 0:37:57They may be laughing, but ?30 is a tenner
0:37:57 > 0:38:00for each of the Tri-ang toys, our ladies were hoping
0:38:00 > 0:38:02for considerably more.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05We're quite a long way off our target and with only two items left
0:38:05 > 0:38:10to go under the hammer, we need the bidders to dig a bit deeper than they did for the toys.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15It's the landscape painting up next which James valued at ?20 to ?50.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16And what shall we say on this?
0:38:16 > 0:38:21I've got 32, 34 I'll take. At ?32 only.
0:38:21 > 0:38:28At 32, 34, 36, 38, and 40.
0:38:28 > 0:38:33?38 only, 40 I'll take, 40 I have, 42, 45... Yes.
0:38:33 > 0:38:3648 and 50,
0:38:36 > 0:38:39and ?50 I have, 55.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41I'm at ?50 only. Do I hear 55 at all?
0:38:41 > 0:38:46At ?50 then.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47?50, are you pleased with that?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Yeah! Good!
0:38:49 > 0:38:52You'll knock me off my feet at this rate! Sorry!
0:38:52 > 0:38:54?50 is an unexpected result
0:38:54 > 0:38:59for the painting and a much needed addition to our kitty.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Angie has her dancing shoes on already
0:39:01 > 0:39:03and with sales like that, her grandchildren
0:39:03 > 0:39:06may be following in her dance class footsteps soon.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10We're almost at the end of the sale and there's one last lot to go.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13It's the Yves St Laurent dress that Angie's mother bought her
0:39:13 > 0:39:18and we're hoping it will make ?25 to ?50.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20My mum bought it for 10p in a second-hand shop.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Well, listen, at least we know we're going to make a profit on this one.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28I can start straight in at ?25, ?26.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I'll take 28.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3228 I have... Lady bidder.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37..and 30, 32, 34 here, 36 it's yours, ma'am,
0:39:37 > 0:39:4536 only, 38 I have and 40, 42, 45, 48 and 50 and five.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Go on, one more! At 50 only.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50I'll take two? At ?50 then, at ?50.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Do I hear 52?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56?50...that's great.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58That's really good for 10p!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Not a bad return! I wish it was me, I'd have bought it?
0:40:01 > 0:40:06My maths is too rubbish to work out what a percentage profit that is, but that's not bad, is it?
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Well, whatever the maths, it's clearly another fantastic result
0:40:10 > 0:40:14for our traveller to be and a whopping ?50 into today's kitty.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20After that spectacular final sale, it's time to get my maths head on and add up our final total.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24So you wanted ?300 to take the grandchildren to this dancing class
0:40:24 > 0:40:28and as a contribution towards your world tour, which will be great fun.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Oh, yes, very much.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32So, how do you think it went?
0:40:32 > 0:40:35I think we got the bottom end of the market,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38but obviously you always want double!
0:40:38 > 0:40:39What about you, Melissa?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42We did all right. I think we've reached our ?300, hopefully.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Well, actually you made more. You made ?375! Oh, excellent!
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Wow, brilliant! Excellent. A lot better!
0:40:48 > 0:40:50That is good, thank you.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02It's been a couple of weeks since Angie raised ?375 at auction
0:41:02 > 0:41:05and while she carries on saving for her round the world ticket,
0:41:05 > 0:41:09it's time to take the grandchildren dancing.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14First, Angie and the adult class show them how it's done.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Then it's time for the kids to have a special lesson of their own,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23and our rock 'n' roll grandma has high hopes.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27I'm really looking forward to the grandkids getting involved.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31They love dancing and showing off and doing lots of silly things,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34they're like me, really, so, yeah, they'll love it!
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Did you think what your grandma was doing tonight was easy, kids? Yeah!
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Do you think you can do better?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Yeah!
0:41:42 > 0:41:47Let's pair up. The first thing we've got to do is step back, everybody.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50I'm going to be teaching you the arm jive, and to do that...
0:41:50 > 0:41:53'Oh, it's been a lovely, lovely experience'
0:41:53 > 0:41:55bringing the grandchildren here today.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Their little faces!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00First, they were really hesitant and now they're buzzing,
0:42:00 > 0:42:06they're as high as kites they're so excited and they're so, so enjoying it.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07Pull on the right...
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Up to the shoulder. Now turn and...
0:42:10 > 0:42:12The kids are picking up the moves quickly
0:42:12 > 0:42:16and it looks like this family have rhythm in their genes! And step back.
