0:00:02 > 0:00:03Welcome to Cash In The Attic.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06We find hidden treasures around your home to sell at auction.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09I wish I could say that this was my home.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12I'm in Berkshire. And to get a taste of the area,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15I stopped off at one of its most celebrated landmarks,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18the magnificent Basildon Park.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Set in over 400 acres of park land overlooking the River Thames,
0:00:22 > 0:00:26this 18th-century Palladian mansion has had a turbulent past.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Built for a wealthy director of the East India Trading Company in 1776,
0:00:30 > 0:00:34it was later used as a military convalescent home in the Great War.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37It then fell into disrepair.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40In 1952, it was saved from total dilapidation
0:00:40 > 0:00:44by Lord and Lady Iliffe. Their descendants own it today.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47This idyllic mansion has provided the backdrop
0:00:47 > 0:00:50for romantic blockbusters like Pride And Prejudice.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Sadly, though, I can't see Darcy anywhere coming to sweep me off my feet
0:00:55 > 0:01:00and I've got a busy day ahead tracking down all those treasures so I'll be on my way.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Coming up on today's Cash In The Attic:
0:01:23 > 0:01:26our expert feels as if he's struck gold.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29This is like unearthing buried treasure!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31For me, this is a real wow factor.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But I'm not sure he's taking all the antiques so seriously.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I am a robot. I am up for the auction sale. Sell me, please!
0:01:39 > 0:01:43And despite difficult moments on auction day...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We really needed that for your total.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50..some lots proved to be real high fliers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Will we be successful when the final hammer falls?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I've come down to earth now and down the road to Reading
0:02:01 > 0:02:04to meet a couple for whom romance really is in the air.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07But they need a bit of help from the Cash In The Attic team.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10This 1980s house is home to Keith Yaksley.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16He's one of life's compulsive collectors, but his wife, Ayesha, isn't so keen.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18She'd like to clear the decks!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Ayesha is French and came to England from Paris eight years ago.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23She only planned to stay a year,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27but she met Keith, and the rest, as they say, is history!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Hi, Jennie, how are you?- We are on a romantic mission today!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Romantic mission? I'm not much of a Cupid, but I know my collectibles!
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Good, because these guys have passion not just for each other, but for collecting things!
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Here we go!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46This is what I like to see, my family hard at work.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Hi. Keith, Ayesha.- Nice to meet you!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You're a passionate collector, I hear.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57I could be into golf or hang-gliding, but collecting is my thing.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Have you got lots of things for us to find?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I hope so. It's down to your expert and a good rummage!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Who was it that called us in? - I did, actually.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Did you?- Yes, I did.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Basically, we've been collecting lots over the last few years
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and the house is getting smaller and smaller by the day
0:03:15 > 0:03:17so we have to de-clutter.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- What do you want the money for? - We got married in Paris in June
0:03:20 > 0:03:24and I think we need a honeymoon!
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- A honeymoon?- Indeed!- I heard it was going to be romantic! I love it, I do!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Where do you think you'd like to go?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's down to what you can find, Jennie.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It's Bournemouth or Barbados, depending on how much we raise!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Which would you prefer?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'd prefer, as much as Bournemouth's a lovely place,
0:03:42 > 0:03:43I'd prefer the sun and the sand.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46How much money to find your way to that honeymoon?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48£1,000.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51We'll go for £1,000 to get you on your way.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- It'll take us to the airport, to say the least!- It should do!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Let's have a look around.- After you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It doesn't take long to see that Ayesha's right.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04The whole house is crammed inside and out with all sorts,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06both old and new.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Woo-hoo! Jonty!
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Wow!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- That is beautiful!- But it's in rather ropey condition.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Where did you get it? - It came out of a skip.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- That's probably why.- Here's the maker's name at the front here.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26The American Music Instrument Company, based in Michigan, USA.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29This is the Lyric, the model.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32This particular model is pre-1962
0:04:32 > 0:04:37because after that date, they brought out a very successful model
0:04:37 > 0:04:38called the Continental One.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42So it has that more 1950s feel,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44rather than the '60s. The jukebox
0:04:44 > 0:04:48is a classic, 20th-century iconic machine
0:04:48 > 0:04:51and that is the reason people want to possess one.
0:04:51 > 0:04:57The word "juke" is an Afro-American slang word for dance,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59spelt J-O-O-K.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01They called it the golden age, the 1940s,
0:05:01 > 0:05:06because they used gold and plastic, predominantly gold and plastic.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11The silver age is the 1950s because of the chrome they used.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14So this machine is more influenced from the '50s
0:05:14 > 0:05:17rather than the '60s. Is it for sale?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- It's time to find a new home for it. - How much did you pay for it?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25It wasn't a snip from a skip, sadly, cos they did know it was an interest.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28So I paid about £150 for it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- We can get your money back. We're looking £150, £250.- Fine. - That's a real bargain.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's a very good start. At least £150 for our kitty.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Let's go look for something else. Come on!
0:05:41 > 0:05:45So, it's down to business, and boy, is there a lot to do!
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Keith has found another mid-century modern delight.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Some of us remember the '70s, but to others, this lamp is a marvellous retro masterpiece
0:05:54 > 0:05:57which might fetch 30 to £50.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02And while we're in the decade that brought us bell-bottoms and platforms,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Ayesha has found another chrome and glass statement piece.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Ayesha, what do you think about this coffee table?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- I want to sell. I don't want it any more.- Do you like it?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14No. I like the feet,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17because of the circles. It looks like circles on planets.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20But the glass, no,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23because glass gathers dust and it's a pain to clean.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I notice we've got a smoked-glass top here.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29This was very fashionable in the '60s and '70s, particularly.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Smoked glass was very cool.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37Along with chrome, it was a revival from the 1930s when chrome was first used.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40The interesting part about a table like this
0:06:40 > 0:06:43is that when this was bought, it was the height of fashion.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47But it then would have gone out of fashion
0:06:47 > 0:06:52and in relatively recent times, this table has now come back into fashion.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57This look, this chrome, sleek, simple look is very much in.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Yes.- Have I persuaded you to keep this or not?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02No, still not.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05You definitely... You definitely want to sell it.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Definitely.- OK, fine. What sort of price would you put on this?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Approximately £30.- I think we should do more than that.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- We're looking at more like 50 to £80.- That would be fine.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Will you tell Keith, or just let it disappear?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Surprise him by the auction.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22- On the auction.- All right!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- We'll just let it go!- Yes!
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Fantastic. One for the auction. It's all adding up. Carry on searching.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30OK!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I think we're beginning to see a bit of a pattern here.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39This Studio pottery that Keith's mum bought him some years back
0:07:39 > 0:07:44has a rather fish-like face that might make a splash at 50 to £100.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47And as Jonty keeps the cogs turning,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51I'm eager to find out more about Keith and his collections.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Keith, before I came here,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I was told that you had quite a lot of stuff.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I must say, every nook and cranny is crammed with it. It's extraordinary!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04When did it all start?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07The passion started originally with collecting Clarice Cliff.
0:08:07 > 0:08:13- How old were you then? - Before university. Probably 16, something like that.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Most 16-year-olds, when I was that age,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19had other things to do apart from collecting antiques!
0:08:19 > 0:08:26I could multi-task! I wasn't a sad person who sat in a room. I had other interests.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- Tell me what things you collect now. - Watches, lighters,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'd call it kissing frogs, I suppose.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35You never know when you'll meet your prince!
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Have you met your prince? - My princess!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Rather than getting up at six on a Sunday to play golf,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I get up at six on a Sunday to go to boot fairs.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49What does Ayesha think about it?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50She's nearly as bad as me!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Recently we've been trying to buy things more to sell.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55And I bring stuff back
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and if she gets to see it,
0:08:57 > 0:09:02it's "No, you can't sell that. I love it! I want to keep it!"
0:09:02 > 0:09:07So, in a sense, over time, we've grown to be a bit the same.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The answer, I have the solution.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Buy a bigger house! - I thought you were gonna say, "Get another girlfriend"!
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- That's a bit unfair!- Wrong! Either you get another house,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20or we have to get on with the rummaging.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23We can't sit here all day. Where next, eh?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Looks as if Ayesha might have the answer to that question.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30This autographed portrait is of American-born actress Constance Cummings
0:09:30 > 0:09:32who starred in the film Blithe Spirit,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35an adaptation of Noel Coward's play.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38We're hoping a fan will snap this up at auction
0:09:38 > 0:09:40at around 30 to £50.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44In the bedroom, we're so busy staring at the walls,
0:09:44 > 0:09:49we nearly miss what's right under our noses - or under our feet!
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Keith, what about this rug? Is it something you'd consider selling?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57It's a fairly recent acquisition. I haven't had time to fall in love with it!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01We had to take a rug up to put a rug down
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- so it's possibly something I'd consider selling. - What do you know about it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10I bought it from a local chap who told me it had come out of one of the grace-and-favour homes
0:10:10 > 0:10:14in Windsor Castle. So a fairly good pedigree.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I believe it's Turkish, from the little I know about rugs.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I do believe it is actually quite old
0:10:20 > 0:10:24in comparison to some that I have bought and have been told are reasonably old.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25That's all I know.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28You're absolutely right. It is a Turkey carpet.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31You can tell that by the stylised design of it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35You almost have the sense that it's geometric.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38If you look at the floral designs, they're all square.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41If you look at this stylised form, what is this?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Is it a stylised tree, is it a dagger? One is not quite sure,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47simply because it's so stylised.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Look at what must be plant formation beside it here.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Look at this. It's all very, very square.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59You are looking at a wool rug, wool on wool. Everything about this is wool.
0:10:59 > 0:11:07Again, the softness of wool, you can tell whether it's come from a live sheep or a dead sheep.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12If you've got wool from a dead sheep, it loses all its natural oils.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16If it comes from a live sheep, you can feel the difference,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19quite considerably.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22The most important thing for me is its condition.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25The colour. There's a uniform colour that still runs through this.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28You do get natural fading happening.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33But that is much more... It lasts longer with natural dyes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38If you've got synthetic dyes exposed to light, they can fade almost overnight.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41If I put this into an auction sale,
0:11:41 > 0:11:47- I would value a rug like this between 150 to £250.- OK.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- In the auction sale.- Right.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Are you happy to magic this off to the auction?- Absolutely. I'll fly there myself!
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Great. One for the sale.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59He knows the market. That's the important thing.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I don't. I know that I like Turkish rugs.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I know what I've paid for some.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10But if the trend has moved on and these rugs aren't popular any more,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13you do need more people to want to buy something.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17So you can only sell it at a market rate
0:12:17 > 0:12:20so I have to go with the expert's advice.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24And said expert is having a grand old time.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I'm enjoying this rummage as well. It seems Keith is a very well-read chap.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- What have you found?- They're so wonderful. A lot of old books.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- These are gorgeous. - And what have we got...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40A whole volume. A whole set here.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The Arthur Evans' The Palace of Minos at Knossos.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47It was released in six or seven volumes some years ago
0:12:47 > 0:12:51when he excavated the palace of Minos on Crete.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57- Yes.- And they released each volume as he dug and found more things.
0:12:57 > 0:13:03He wasn't the one who discovered it, but he was the one who did this massive survey,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05really over 30 years.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- How many have we got here? - There should be a seventh volume.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Were you aware that there was one missing?- The index.- Yes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Sadly, I don't have that.- The reason why this is a rare collection,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21is that people got bored of collecting them.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24They were issued over such a long period of time.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27So we started at the beginning of the century
0:13:27 > 0:13:29but it went all the way up to the early 1930s.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Have you read any of these?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I'd love to say I've read all six volumes cover to cover
0:13:35 > 0:13:38but there are pages that haven't even been turned!
0:13:38 > 0:13:43The books are highly illustrated. If we look at this one, for instance.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Gorgeous.- Can you see?- Yes, that is!
0:13:46 > 0:13:51All those lovely, fantastic, those natural colours are wonderful.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Sounds fantastic. I assume they're first editions?
0:13:54 > 0:13:59They are first editions. You can see that clearly if I turn the page on this book here.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00This one here.
0:14:00 > 0:14:031930. They're wonderful.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08- How long have you had this? - Probably 20 years. Time flies,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- but at least 20 years.- 20 years. And how much did you pay?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16The most I've ever paid for books - about £350.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I'm convinced they're worth an awful lot more than that. Absolutely convinced.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26What I need to do is find out if sets like this have been sold on the open market.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- I'm hoping I can come back with some good news on the day of the auction. - Sound good!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34This is really exciting news. Really exciting news.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Like uncovering buried treasure!
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Happy about that?- Yes! - He's very happy!
0:14:39 > 0:14:43He's very excited. He doesn't get this excited! It's brilliant!
0:14:44 > 0:14:48He's so excited, he can't wait to find out what's lurking elsewhere.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52This piece of 1970s Poole pottery could dazzle a collector
0:14:52 > 0:14:55at between 80 and £140.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00We're making great progress here, so I take the time to find out more about the newly-weds.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07What's it like, living with a man like that, who's always collecting things?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Exciting, actually.- Exciting?- First time she's said that, but it's good!
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Does it get on your nerves when he comes back with stuff every day?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17At first, but now I'm used to it!
0:15:17 > 0:15:22You've already had part one of your wedding. What's gonna happen next?
0:15:22 > 0:15:28We have to do the legal thing in the UK, so a civil ceremony in the UK.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30How did you two meet?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33In the pub I first came in when I started working in England.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37There was a big party the owner of the pub did
0:15:37 > 0:15:40for his regular customers and friends.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44It was going on from lunch time till late at night.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48He was a bit merry and I was in the same state
0:15:48 > 0:15:51and he asked me if I would like to marry him.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56I said to him, "If one of my rings fits one of your fingers, yes."
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Let me get this straight. You're in a pub. You're working, he comes in.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You have a few drinks, he pops the question
0:16:03 > 0:16:06and you say if your ring fits, you'll marry him!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08You'd known each other a few hours!
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Oh, no, we'd seen each other across a crowded room.- I see.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17He was the shy type. Always hiding behind his newspaper!
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Sometimes he answered me back, sometimes he avoided me completely.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- It's still pretty quick work, I would say.- Yeah!
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I couldn't help but notice, Keith, when I came in,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30that your voice was quite husky.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I thought you had a sore throat. But you've been suffering from cancer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- That's right, yes. - Pretty devastating.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40You'd think so, yes. Of course, it's very serious.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44But it's like if somebody breaks an arm, you get it fixed.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46If somebody has a cold, it goes away.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I try to treat it as if it were something else.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I went for it that way
0:16:52 > 0:16:56and mercifully it seems that the treatment's pretty well there.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00The treatment I had has left me with a funny throat
0:17:00 > 0:17:03especially when I do too much talking as I've done today!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05What was it like? It must have been tough.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08It was very hard because he's very close to me.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13But because in my family my sister has suffered already from cancer when she was little,
0:17:13 > 0:17:20so the idea of it didn't scare me as much as I thought it was gonna scare me.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24I suppose now that you seem to have beaten cancer,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- that will make the honeymoon all the more special.- Absolutely!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31And where you'd like to go is the Caribbean, really.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37Somewhere nice and warm, a nice beach. We've never had a holiday for seven years, so it's time!
0:17:37 > 0:17:41We're not gonna get you on that honeymoon unless we get back and help Jonty.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44He'll be wondering where we've got to!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47He's like a kid in a sweet shop in this rummage!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50And he's found a real gobstopper!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52This pair of books
0:17:52 > 0:17:57featuring original artwork of The Perishers by Dennis Collins could raise £50.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00But that's not the only show-stopper in this house.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Jonty, this might be interesting.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05What on earth is that?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Well, I can see. Can I have a look?
0:18:10 > 0:18:16Now, what on earth are you doing with a massive toy like that in your house, for goodness' sake?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Well, it was on my birthday and I bought it for myself as a present
0:18:20 > 0:18:22for Ayesha to give to me!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24So he obviously moves?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26He's quite clever, actually,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29especially if somebody's had a few!
0:18:29 > 0:18:32If you'd like to try talking into it there.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35SIREN SOUNDS I've got the wrong one.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39ROBOTIC VOICE: I am a robot. I am off to the auction sale.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Sell me, please! Find my a buyer! Raise lots of money at the auction.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's wonderful! It goes backwards and forwards?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01This is interesting. I'm gonna turn you off for a second.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- What's he doing now?- He doesn't like to be turned off!- He doesn't!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Poor old robot! You see this,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10it says, "GP Toys. Italy."
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Giochi Preziosi, which is an Italian company,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17established in 1978.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20So he can't be '70s. He has to be 1980s.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23We've got the name here, "Scooter 2000".
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Do you know if he came in different colourways?
0:19:26 > 0:19:31I have seen a more common one, which is a creamy-white colour.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Yellow-white, with different facial features as well.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37But he looks the part more because he's more robot-like.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42It's interesting, the name "robot" came from a play,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44a Czech play in the 1920s.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47In the play, they had figures that were robot-like.
0:19:47 > 0:19:55Because the word "robota" basically means "labour", it means "hard work".
0:19:55 > 0:19:58These characters were called robots within the play.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01So it was a play on words, essentially.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04So it's these human figures that did all the labour.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And the name has stuck ever since.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11So the name is not American, it's not Japanese,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14where a lot of robots were made in the 1950s,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17but Czech, which I find quite extraordinary.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Not a lot of people know that! - Not a lot of people know that!
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Now, the big 64-million-dollar question is, are you happy to part with your friend?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I think he wants to go on a journey!
0:20:29 > 0:20:32He can go to the auction, definitely.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Do you remember what you paid for him?- It was a present. How could I know?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- It was £20.- About £20.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42I think on a good day, we could double that.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Good stuff.- Definitely one for the auction sale?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Definitely.- I want to play now. What do we do here?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52ELECTRONIC BEEPING
0:20:52 > 0:20:56It was great fun while it lasted. It should give others some fun.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59We have a couple of other robots tucked away
0:20:59 > 0:21:04so if I get lonely for Scooter, I'll go and talk to one of the other ones!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Time to get our noses back to the grindstone
0:21:07 > 0:21:10if we're going to get £1,000 for Keith and Ayesha's honeymoon.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16And we take another step towards our target when they add this mixed lot of books to the auction haul.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20They include a signed edition of "Familiar London" by Rose Barton
0:21:20 > 0:21:23featuring paintings of the city in the early 1900s.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28Jonty hopes they'll bring us 150 to £250.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33In the bedroom, Ayesha's found another of Keith's collections.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36How are we getting on? Look at that!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's a collection of hundreds of watches. That's typical Keith.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Yes.- He's not satisfied with one watch. He needs hundreds!
0:21:43 > 0:21:47More than that, actually. Maybe 300!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Could we sell any of these watches? - Yes.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52That one I think, probably.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54This one? Let's have a look. Bulova.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00That's American. It's very popular in America. They're one of the big wrist-watch-makers.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05In fact, they're were one of the pioneers in selling wrist watches,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09because wrist watches became popular after the First World War.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Before then, it was all pocket watches.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16But the practicality of wearing a time-piece on your wrist, if you were a soldier,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19it made sense to have this on your wrist.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22After that, it became a fashion statement.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25So really, Bulova were the pioneers in America for this.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29The story all started in 1865 in New York City
0:22:29 > 0:22:32where an immigrant, by the name of Joseph Bulova,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35opened his first jewellery store.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38And the rest is history.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42By 1919, they'd started their first range of wrist watches.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Now, this looks like gold.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Stylistically, if you look at that,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50that's a bit like our jukebox. It has that 1960s feel to it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Let's have a look on the back.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56This is interesting. We've got an owner's name here.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58It says James Boland.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00And, more interesting still,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04it's got the dates here of 1939 to '64.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So it was either a present or a leaving present.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Impressed on the back is even better news.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14"14K". 14-carat gold. That's what we're looking at here.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17That's really fantastic, really good, to see that.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Will Keith be happy to sell this? It's definitely...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23We should never have left them alone!
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Look at this, Jennie. A whole box full of watches.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32It's not quite full! I can still get more in there.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- We found this lovely watch. - I'd hidden those!
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Keith, can we sell this one?
0:23:37 > 0:23:42The reason for the collection is to learn more about them and find out how they work.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45That's a working watch, so it can definitely go.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48This is worth between 80 and £120 at auction.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Great. Good stuff. Excellent. - That's good.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54That's a very nice end to our day's rummaging.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- We've finished.- Hoorah!
0:23:56 > 0:23:58So 80 to 120 to add to our kitty.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03That's great. That's what we need. We're after £1,000 to send you on that honeymoon.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06At the end of our day's rummaging,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10we're not going to take into account the Arthur Evans' rare collection.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Who knows what they might fetch. So without those books,
0:24:13 > 0:24:18we reckon you will make at auction £860.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- That's good. Sounds great. - Nearly there without the books.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- All's well. See you at the auction.- Look forward to it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing how Keith's items go.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32There's certainly plenty of variety.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36We have items like the hand-loomed Turkish rug
0:24:36 > 0:24:37with its rich earthy hues.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Jonty's put an estimate of 150 to £250 on it.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44And a robot to serve you drinks.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Not your usual antique! It could fetch 40 to £50.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51And those first editions of The Palace of Minos at Knossos.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Jonty's got research to do, but if he's right and Keith brings them to the auction,
0:24:56 > 0:25:01this honeymoon could turn out to be very plush indeed!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Still to come on Cash In The Attic: Nailbiting moments in the sale room.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07They don't like it!
0:25:07 > 0:25:11But we're feeling triumphant after some of the results.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13That's great!
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Will we have reached our target when the final hammer falls?
0:25:17 > 0:25:2018. Thank you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24It's a few weeks now since we ransacked Keith and Ayesha's house
0:25:24 > 0:25:27and what a treasure trove it turned out to be!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29We've brought all the items we selected here
0:25:29 > 0:25:33to Sworders Olivers Auction House at Sudbury in Suffolk.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Let's hope that by the end of the day we've raised that £1,000
0:25:37 > 0:25:39to get the wedding bells ringing!
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Many of the items in the catalogue today are Victorian or Edwardian.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50But Jonty has something that he hopes will bring the buyers into the 20th century.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Hello!- You've found your twin!
0:25:53 > 0:25:58- I like the idea of somebody arriving with champagne.- So do I!
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Good idea?- I'll have the champagne, you have the toy!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- It's lovely, actually.- Great fun.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Do you think this will sell? Is there a market for it?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Robots of this date, not necessarily so.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12But tin robots from Japan, for instance,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16from the 1950s, some rarer versions of those, can fetch huge sums of money.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19But he'll be fine. No problem with him.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- I have an issue with the books, which I'll need to talk to Keith about.- Oh, no!
0:26:24 > 0:26:30- I need to have a discussion before the auction takes place.- I can tell it won't be a happy discussion.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33We've got some other great items as well. The jukebox.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37That's true. OK. Let's go find them and break the news.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40ROBOTIC VOICE: Sell me, please. Find me a new buyer!
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Well, let's hope we find plenty of new buyers today.
0:26:44 > 0:26:50Before everything gets going, we catch up with Keith and Ayesha and their jukebox.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Good morning!- Hi, guys. - How are you?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Taking a last look?- Absolutely, yes!
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- It's a lovely piece. Do you think it'll sell?- I hope so. It depends who's in the room.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- I've seen people looking at it. - Good stuff!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I hope it goes well for you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07- Are you nervous?- No.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12No? Good girl! Some people get very edgy before the auction.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- I don't. It's a nice day out. - A day out. Brilliant.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20I've had a chat with the auctioneer about your lovely books.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24And without the index, it's his hunch, in a general sale,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- that the estimate should be around the £1,000 mark.- Right.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31I think it's a bit too low. I was hoping more like 1,500
0:27:31 > 0:27:33£2,000 for the set.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37So it's my suggestion that you hold them back for a specialist sale.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41I wondered what you thought about that before the auction starts.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45We thought it might be a bit niche for a general sale,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47so I think that's probably wise.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51So we're gonna take those away, which is a big chunk out of our target.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55That's a huge amount that's gone. You've got some nice pieces that'll sell.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58We hope so. We just hope so.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Time to face the music! - Oh!- Oh, Jonty!
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Let's find a spot for the auction.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07If you're planning to take the plunge and buy or sell at auction,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10remember that commission and other charges may apply.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Check with the auction house.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Looking forward to the auction. Hope it goes well.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Hopefully make a lot of money for our holiday - our honeymoon!
0:28:18 > 0:28:23I have put some reserves on things. We don't want things to go for nothing.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Hopefully, they'll go really well.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Morning, ladies and gentlemen.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34As the auctioneer calls order, we take our place for the first lot.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38It's the chrome and glass coffee table valued at 50 to £80.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41This is your '70s chrome coffee table.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- That melts the lamps.- Yes!
0:28:44 > 0:28:48I'm fearful we might not get up to the £50 mark on it,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50but it's worth every penny of it.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- I don't think Suffolk is up to the '70s yet!- Oh, I don't know!
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Several bids on the book here.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59I'm going to start this at 45.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- See?- '45 I'm bid. At £45.'
0:29:03 > 0:29:04At 45. 50.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Five. 55 with me.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- At £55.- That's good.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12£55. At £55.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16All finished and done at £55.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I'm selling at £55.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- That's better than I thought.- You didn't like it at all, did you?- No!
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Ayesha may not like it, but someone did.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29£5 over estimate is a great start
0:29:29 > 0:29:31towards the honeymoon fund.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Our next item, the Poole vase,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37is another '70s gem.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39All finished and done at 80?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42It's a good result for the vase.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45However, like the Knossos books,
0:29:45 > 0:29:48I'm not sure how our next lot will fare in a general sale.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52I'm a bit concerned about your architectural books.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I'm not sure they're gonna find a specialist sale here.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58We're in the same situation as the others.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- It's a bit too niche.- Yeah.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I like them, so I can always take them home again.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- They might sell. Let's see. - Let's think positively.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I'm starting these at 100.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- At £100.- Resounding silence!
0:30:13 > 0:30:16At £100. 110. 120.
0:30:16 > 0:30:1830. 40.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21At £140.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24All finished and done with 140?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- That was interesting, that. - There was some interest.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31I'm quite pleased that there was some interest.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35They're worth 140 quid, so that's good.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38It's so close, but at £10 under Jonty's estimate,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41the Rose Barton books go unsold.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I don't think Keith's disappointed, though.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48I'm not unhappy about that. It was a bit specialist for a general auction.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52The plan now is put some more books with them and go to a specialist auction.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Go round the circle again!
0:30:55 > 0:31:00We're in an interesting position. Up until the books, our sales have been good.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03But £140 is a lot to lose out on.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06We're hoping for better things from our next lot.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Another '70s special.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Are the buyers here?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I'm starting this at 18.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15£18.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- At £18.- No-one remembers the '70s!
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- At £18. - They don't like it!
0:31:21 > 0:31:24All finished and done at £18?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Anyone coming in at £18?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- I'll have to pass that over. - No bids.- Oh, dear!
0:31:31 > 0:31:37- Will you put it up again? - It hasn't been up at all! I'll have to find a spot now!
0:31:37 > 0:31:42The lightshade needed the right sort of collectors, and they weren't here today.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46We're hoping our next item will have a broader appeal.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Do you think there are any Constance Cummings fans here,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51cos we need them for your photo!
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I hope so. Some film buffs, maybe.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Autograph collectors. - £30. Part with £30.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Constance Cummings. But we need a "goings", rather than a "Cummings"!
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Jonty!
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I'm starting this at 18.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- At £18.- Someone.
0:32:08 > 0:32:0922.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11£22. At £22.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13At £22.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17All finished and done with that at £22?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Selling at £22.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25£8 under the estimate. But Keith seems pleased with that result.
0:32:25 > 0:32:31I'm happy the Constance Cummings photo sold. I hope that bodes well for the rest of the auction.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Perhaps our next lot will lift spirits even higher.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37This is a lot of fun.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Our robot. I've seen a lot of people looking at it.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I gave it a fond farewell, too!
0:32:43 > 0:32:47I caught him playing with it. He wants the champagne, though!
0:32:47 > 0:32:50I'm starting this at 20.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51£20.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Two. 25. 28. 30.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56On the books with me at 30.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58At £30.
0:32:58 > 0:33:0132. On my right at 32.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- It's worth more than that. - At 32. 35 at the back.
0:33:04 > 0:33:0735. 38.
0:33:07 > 0:33:0940? 40 at the back.
0:33:09 > 0:33:1142.
0:33:11 > 0:33:1345.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- 45. Right at the back at 45. - I like it even more now!
0:33:17 > 0:33:1948. 50.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21At £50.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- That's top estimate. - All finished and done at £50?
0:33:27 > 0:33:30At £50. Selling at 50.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35That's great. They have got a sense of humour!
0:33:36 > 0:33:38£50 is a good result.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41But that £1,000 target still looks a long way off.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43How much have we raised so far?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45How do you feel it's gone so far?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Curiously!
0:33:47 > 0:33:51That's right! Never mind. We're at the half-way point now.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56You want £1,000. Half-way we might hope to be at 500, but we're not.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59We're at £207.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01It's not too good, is it?
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- But we've some good items to come.- The jukebox.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07The jukebox, yeah. People have been looking at that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I'm pretty confident about that.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12OK. Much to come.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14In the meantime, it's a while till they come up,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16so let's go and have a break.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19It's been a turbulent first half,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21especially without our star lot,
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Keith's vast volumes of The Palace of Minos at Knossos.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28But this sale just isn't right for these precious books.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32So, Arthur Evans has to go to a specialist sale.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34It all makes sense, if you think about it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38General sales are great for getting rid of almost anything,
0:34:38 > 0:34:41but when it comes to slightly higher value items,
0:34:41 > 0:34:45maybe items that are in excess of a couple of thousand pounds, like our books,
0:34:45 > 0:34:49then it is best to sometimes hold those back
0:34:49 > 0:34:50for a specialist sale.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52A collection of books like this
0:34:52 > 0:34:55needs to go into a specialist book sale.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Then we have much more of a chance of attaining that £2,000
0:34:58 > 0:35:01which I hope this collection is worth.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03What's different about a specialist sale?
0:35:03 > 0:35:10With a specialist sale, and a lot of auctioneers across the country do have specialist sales,
0:35:10 > 0:35:14is they hold all their higher value items for those sales.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18There, the room will be concentrated full of dealers
0:35:18 > 0:35:21that are much more specialist in their areas.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25That, in itself, tends to bump the price up.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30I'm not entirely convinced they'll go anywhere other than Keith's home. He loves them!
0:35:30 > 0:35:32He's got a lot of reading if not!
0:35:32 > 0:35:35We're in our places again.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40Ayesha has managed to hold Keith back from collecting anything else during our break!
0:35:40 > 0:35:44We're half-way through now. Things haven't rushed out of the sale room,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47but I hope we'll do better in the second half.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49We're starting on a high note.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Our first lot is Keith's Bulova wrist watch
0:35:51 > 0:35:54with an estimate of 80 to £120.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Are you ready to say farewell to this?
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Yes, quite happy to see this go. I hope somebody else wants it.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- You bought this yourself?- I did.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05And I'm starting this at 50.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Five. 60.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Five. 70.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Five.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- I'm out.- It's stuck.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14At £75.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17At £75.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20All finished and done with that at £75?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Happy with that?- Yeah.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25It adds to the total.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29It's a good start. It may be £5 short of its lower estimate,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32but Keith's right. It all adds to the pot.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Next is the hand-made Turkish rug.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38It's an absolutely beautiful piece of craft,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41but Jonty did have reservations about how well it would sell.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45The market is flooded with items like this, and Keith has a reserve on it.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47It's our rug.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- And hey presto, we're standing on it.- We could be flying!
0:36:51 > 0:36:56We don't want to be flying. We want it to be flying out the door, or a buyer flying out.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00And I'm starting this at 85.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02At 85.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04At £85.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06At £85.
0:37:07 > 0:37:0990. Five.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11At £95.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14At £95.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18All finished and done with that at £95?
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- Have to pass that, I'm afraid. - You are flying back with it!
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Yes.- And it wasn't that magical.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28It wasn't.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Well, the rug didn't reach its reserve.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33I have to say I'm not surprised.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38The rug didn't sell, but hey, I liked it anyway, so it goes back on the floor!
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Next up is a rather unusual item.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- There's something fishy about this next lot!- Oh, dear!
0:37:45 > 0:37:51I have to say I've no idea where this vase was made at all.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Where did you get it?- I bought it cos I thought it was attractive.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59Attractive?! You're attractive, but this fish vase is not!
0:37:59 > 0:38:01There's beauty in ugliness!
0:38:02 > 0:38:05And at 25 start. At 25.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08At £25.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09£25.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11At £25.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13At £25.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15You have unique taste!
0:38:15 > 0:38:18All finished and done with that at 25?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21We'll have to pass that over, I'm afraid.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24That's disappointing, cos we really needed that for your total.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28We're taking a bit of a whack on our target, I'm afraid,
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Have you got a contingency plan?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- A caravan.- A caravan!
0:38:33 > 0:38:38If things don't start improving, even a caravan might be optimistic!
0:38:38 > 0:38:41When The Perisher comics also fail to sell...
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I have to pass that over.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48..Keith and Ayesha might well be looking at a tent, if they're lucky!
0:38:48 > 0:38:52We're a long way from our target and with just one item left to sell,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55there's a massive amount riding on the jukebox.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Keith's keeping everything crossed.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I'm excited cos it's your jukebox coming up.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I think it's a great piece of equipment
0:39:02 > 0:39:04but we're worried cos it's got a crack in it
0:39:04 > 0:39:08and I'm not sure it'll do as well as you hope. What do you reckon?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11I reckon I don't want to take it home on the roof!
0:39:11 > 0:39:15So long as it doesn't go for two bob and a conker, I'll be happy.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20A few people have been sniffing around. Let's see if they can come up with 150 quid.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22At £100.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- At £100.- Come on!- At 100. Ten.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26120.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27130.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29140. 150.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- 160.- That's better!
0:39:31 > 0:39:34£160. With me at 160.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3670. 180.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38190. 200.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41On the books with me at 200.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43At £200.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- That's really good.- All finished and done at £200?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I'm selling at 200.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51That's better!
0:39:51 > 0:39:54You didn't want to put that in the car, did you?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56It would have to go on the roof!
0:39:56 > 0:39:58That's brilliant.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Well done!
0:40:00 > 0:40:01That's good stuff.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Phew! That's a well-needed last-minute addition.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08It hasn't been the most successful day,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10but Keith's being philosophical.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11There's always another day
0:40:11 > 0:40:16and we're pleased with some of the things we have to take back cos we'd miss them!
0:40:16 > 0:40:17No.
0:40:18 > 0:40:24I think Ayesha would rather be on a beach in the Caribbean than take things home!
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Still, with the sale over, it's time for me to tot up the final total.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Well, that's it. It's all over, for better or worse!
0:40:32 > 0:40:34You've got space in your car?
0:40:34 > 0:40:39It's been quite a tricky day. We've had quite a few unsold items.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42And you withdrew all those books, so it's not been easy.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- How do you feel about it?- Quite pleased a couple of them didn't go.
0:40:46 > 0:40:52- I'm pleased the biggest thing went cos that would have been a nightmare.- The jukebox.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Yeah, the jukebox. Overall, it's been a pretty good day.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- What do you think, Ayesha? - I think it was good.- OK.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02You were looking for £1,000 for your wedding and honeymoon fund.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07Well, it has been a difficult day, so I'm warming up to tell you
0:41:07 > 0:41:11that you haven't made your target, I'm sorry to say.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14But you can take those items off and sell them elsewhere.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18You haven't made £1,000. You've made 482.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- OK.- That's fine. - Better than I thought.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21- Is it?- It's good.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25It's not a lot, but I hope that it helps, guys.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- It will do.- All those other specialist items
0:41:28 > 0:41:30are for another day, another time.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- You'll be fine.- Absolutely.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Keith and Ayesha haven't got the £1,000 they were looking for.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44So until those specialist items are sold,
0:41:44 > 0:41:46booking a Caribbean getaway is off the cards.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51But there are plenty of other things to pay for when it comes to a wedding party.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56They met in a pub, so what better place to celebrate with family and friends than a cosy inn?
0:41:58 > 0:42:00It looks good. Plenty of room.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03We could probably set up a head table over there.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- Yeah.- And the food's very good.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08So, shall we go for it?
0:42:08 > 0:42:12- Yes. Shall we celebrate with a drink?- Why not? After you! Go on.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15That's one decision made.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18And it sounds as if they've got future auction plans as well.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21If we can sell the other things that we didn't sell,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24we can afford to go somewhere for a lovely honeymoon.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Yeah, and for once I can have some sun!
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Yeah, that's true!
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Here's to our successful day.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Cheers!- Cheers!
