Welcome to Cash In The Attic.

0:00:020:00:04

It's a tale of two countries today - England and India.

0:00:040:00:07

It's a real eclectic mix of items. Find out what they are next.

0:00:070:00:11

'Coming up on Cash In The Attic,

0:00:310:00:35

'a valuable lesson in Indian tradition for Paul.'

0:00:350:00:38

Anything that's in 13s is lucky and anything that's cracked is unlucky?

0:00:380:00:43

My life is very unlucky!

0:00:430:00:45

'Our young helper's advice is a step too far for the lady of the house.'

0:00:450:00:50

-Take a leaf out of his book.

-It's not his money!

-A good point.

0:00:500:00:55

'And a packed auction brings us a surprising result.'

0:00:550:00:59

How's that?

0:00:590:01:01

£70!

0:01:010:01:03

'Find out what happens when the hammer falls.'

0:01:030:01:07

I'm in Luton to meet a lady who wants to raise some money

0:01:070:01:12

for a few additions to her home.

0:01:120:01:15

'Indian-born Banoo Petit first came to England with her husband Phil

0:01:150:01:19

'in the early 1960s, settling in Luton and going on to have two sons.

0:01:190:01:24

'Sadly, in 2008, Phil passed away and, after a career as a seamstress,

0:01:240:01:29

'Banoo retired.

0:01:290:01:31

'She's proud of her heritage, which has roots in both India and Iran.

0:01:310:01:36

'She enjoys sharing her experiences with 11-year-old grandson, Anish.

0:01:360:01:41

'Living in Scotland, he's a regular visitor to the house,

0:01:410:01:44

'which, according to Banoo, might be in need of a bit of TLC.

0:01:440:01:49

'Having such a fascinating history

0:01:490:01:51

'makes me think she'll have plenty of items of interest.

0:01:510:01:55

'With many years of experience in antiques and collectables,

0:01:550:01:59

'who better to guide us than Mr Paul Hayes?'

0:01:590:02:03

-Do you need a referee?

-Yes, please.

0:02:030:02:06

-WHISTLES

-Full time. Come on in.

0:02:060:02:08

Hello, what a lovely garden. You're Banoo?

0:02:080:02:12

-Yes.

-Anish?

-Anish.

0:02:120:02:14

-Who called Cash In The Attic?

-I did.

-Why did you have us in?

0:02:140:02:18

I just want to do the outside of the house and decorate it a bit better,

0:02:180:02:23

so that my children say, "Mum, you're living in a nice house."

0:02:230:02:27

I also want to raise some money for the window replacement.

0:02:270:02:32

-How much do you want to raise?

-I need more than 500, but I'll be quite happy with 500.

0:02:320:02:39

You've drafted in some young talent.

0:02:390:02:41

-Anish, are you interested in antiques?

-Yeah, I love antiques.

0:02:410:02:45

I like the stuff from the olden days that my dad and uncle played with.

0:02:450:02:51

And I love things from foreign countries.

0:02:510:02:54

So, £500 is what we want to raise. Is he a hard worker?

0:02:540:02:58

Well...sometimes.

0:02:580:03:00

Most times he's quite lazy! But he does help me a lot.

0:03:000:03:04

We're not going to have any laziness today.

0:03:040:03:08

-Paul in there would have our guts for garters. Ready?

-Yes.

-Follow me.

0:03:080:03:12

'Banoo has lived in this comfortable and orderly house for over 40 years.

0:03:150:03:20

'There's tantalising evidence of her heritage everywhere you look.

0:03:200:03:25

'Paul may already be serving up our first item.'

0:03:250:03:29

-There's Paul.

-Ah, hello.

-Hi.

0:03:290:03:32

-I've made a start already.

-Are you making dinner?

0:03:320:03:36

There'll be a lot of dinner for three!

0:03:360:03:40

This is lovely. It's a type of tray, not so much a plate.

0:03:400:03:46

In Iran, we have the food in the middle.

0:03:460:03:49

Four or five people sit round.

0:03:490:03:51

All we do is bring it forward, whatever we want.

0:03:510:03:55

And eat it. Not in abundance, just a little at a time.

0:03:550:03:59

Nobody feels, "He's having more. I'm having less." It's evenly divided.

0:03:590:04:04

Wonderful engravings.

0:04:040:04:06

I often think this is so underrated.

0:04:060:04:09

Imagine the length of time

0:04:090:04:12

it's taken to put these designs on.

0:04:120:04:14

It's the golden age of the Raj - 1890s, 1920s.

0:04:140:04:19

This represents the garden of paradise.

0:04:190:04:22

India, Persia, that sort of region was very barren.

0:04:220:04:26

To have lush plants, gardens and animals

0:04:260:04:29

was only for the wealthy, the Shahs.

0:04:290:04:32

This floral decoration

0:04:320:04:35

is harping back to luxury.

0:04:350:04:37

-The elephant indicates more about India.

-Elephants and cows.

0:04:370:04:41

You've got the garden of plenty. It's a great thing to have.

0:04:410:04:46

I think it's wonderful. They actually engrave the surface

0:04:460:04:50

then rub it with a black ink to give it definition.

0:04:500:04:54

In this condition, they're fantastic.

0:04:540:04:56

They're a type of occasional table.

0:04:560:04:59

-You set the legs up and use it when you liked.

-How much is it worth?

0:04:590:05:04

-It looks SO exotic.

-It is.

0:05:040:05:06

The sad thing is, somebody's spent hours and hours on these,

0:05:060:05:11

but there are lots and lots of them around.

0:05:110:05:14

If I said around the £50 mark?

0:05:140:05:20

-How does that sound?

-That's fine.

-You sure you want to let it go?

0:05:200:05:24

-There must be sentimental value.

-No. My father is gone.

0:05:240:05:27

My husband is gone. Soon I will be gone!

0:05:270:05:31

-And the boys don't want to have it!

-You haven't got a violin to sell?

0:05:310:05:36

'That's not a bad start.

0:05:360:05:38

'It's good to see Banoo firmly focused on that £500 auction target.

0:05:380:05:42

'Anish discovers a bit of Boy's Own nostalgia with a family connection.'

0:05:420:05:48

-Ah, now, Anish.

-Hi.

-These are good.

-Yeah.

-Whose were these?

0:05:480:05:53

My dad and my uncle.

0:05:530:05:55

-They're still in good condition for playing with.

-These are 1970s.

0:05:550:06:01

A bit like my age, I suppose. Did you play with similar things?

0:06:010:06:07

No. PlayStation and football.

0:06:070:06:09

People buy these because they're trying to remember their childhood.

0:06:090:06:14

I can remember toys like this.

0:06:140:06:16

The basic concept with Action Men is that they always had blue eyes.

0:06:160:06:22

Always had a scar on his cheek. He was copied from the American GI Joe.

0:06:220:06:27

You'd have the army, navy, the pilots, the aircraft,

0:06:270:06:31

the Jeeps, mountaineering.

0:06:310:06:33

There's a massive collecting area.

0:06:330:06:36

The Jeep looks in excellent condition.

0:06:360:06:40

-What happened to this?

-The paint's been scraped off.

0:06:400:06:43

Somebody's given it a paint job.

0:06:430:06:45

-If I said £20 to £40, how does that sound?

-Good.

0:06:450:06:49

'Will there be a battle when those Action Men go under the hammer?'

0:06:490:06:54

-< 12, 15, 18...

-There you go!

0:06:540:06:57

28. 30. 32. 35. 38. 40...

0:06:570:07:01

'Find out later if they're victorious at auction!'

0:07:010:07:05

Thank you both for that.

0:07:050:07:07

'Paul's got his eagle eyes on another choice collectable,

0:07:070:07:11

'this set of three vintage walking sticks.

0:07:110:07:14

'A carved pair from the 1930s, which Banoo picked up in Nepal.

0:07:140:07:18

'Plus a more modern but impressive onyx example she found in Egypt.

0:07:180:07:23

'There's a keen collector's market for antique sticks.

0:07:230:07:28

'We're hoping these will walk out of the saleroom.

0:07:280:07:32

'We've got plenty of work ahead, but I want to catch up

0:07:320:07:36

'with our fascinating host.'

0:07:360:07:38

-I know you came from India. Whereabouts?

-From Bombay, but it is called now Mumbai.

0:07:380:07:45

-Beautiful part of the world.

-It is. Yes.

0:07:450:07:48

How many brothers and sisters did you have?

0:07:480:07:52

-Five sisters and two brothers.

-That is a big family!

0:07:520:07:56

My father wanted a boy at the end so he kept trying!

0:07:560:08:00

What sort of lifestyle did you have? Your father was an entrepreneur.

0:08:000:08:05

We had a very good life. Never went hungry.

0:08:050:08:09

-What did your dad do?

-Well, he had three restaurants and three cafes.

0:08:090:08:14

Then he started having American free style wrestling.

0:08:140:08:19

He brought those people down to... from America to India.

0:08:190:08:22

He started all sorts of things before he passed away.

0:08:220:08:27

-He died very early.

-How did you meet your husband?

0:08:270:08:30

He lived two buildings away from our house.

0:08:300:08:35

He used to come and play table tennis in our house.

0:08:350:08:39

And I just fell in love with him. We got married very soon.

0:08:390:08:44

You came to London on honeymoon.

0:08:440:08:45

My father bought us a ticket for the ship.

0:08:450:08:49

It took us 12 days to reach England.

0:08:490:08:52

And, um... We decided to stay here.

0:08:520:08:57

Do you miss living in India or are you really settled here?

0:08:570:09:01

I used to miss, but not now. I'm quite happy here.

0:09:010:09:05

My family is here now.

0:09:050:09:08

We're going to learn more about you and your culture. That means we'd better get back to some work.

0:09:080:09:14

'Banoo gets stuck back into the search

0:09:140:09:16

'and unearths an impressive reminder of her extensive travels.

0:09:160:09:21

'This lovely garnet necklace came from an antique shop

0:09:210:09:24

'in Egypt in the 1980s. Paul hopes it'll make...

0:09:240:09:29

'Anish may only be 11, but has a good eye for collectables.

0:09:310:09:36

'This model steam tractor engine by the British Mamod toy company

0:09:360:09:41

'was an unusual gift for Banoo in the 1960s.

0:09:410:09:46

'Paul values it at...'

0:09:460:09:50

-There we are.

-What have you got?

0:09:510:09:54

-Come in the middle.

-This was given from my father to us.

0:09:540:09:59

Whenever I went to India, every time I came back, I got something.

0:09:590:10:04

In '63, I got this.

0:10:040:10:06

We could use these as finger bowls, but because it's so pretty

0:10:060:10:10

I didn't want to spoil it.

0:10:100:10:12

Then I thought of using it for starters, peanuts, cashew nuts.

0:10:120:10:18

Then I thought it might stain,

0:10:180:10:21

so it's just lying in the cupboard.

0:10:210:10:24

So these are as-new condition.

0:10:240:10:28

You've got this gold-plating, 22-carat.

0:10:280:10:31

Also, what they've done with the silver,

0:10:310:10:34

they used an acid to give a powder effect.

0:10:340:10:38

That's highly polished. Then this wonderful soft interior.

0:10:380:10:42

I like that, that matt design. Very clever, like a frosting effect.

0:10:420:10:46

Good for ice cream!

0:10:460:10:48

These are definitely silver. Silver IP - Indian Purity.

0:10:480:10:54

Lots of them were made from German coins.

0:10:540:10:58

They were melted down and made into silver items.

0:10:580:11:01

To sell it as silver has to come up to a standard.

0:11:010:11:05

In India, they have 80% pure.

0:11:050:11:07

Here in the UK, we have 92.5%

0:11:070:11:10

so it's a bit lesser grade than British silver.

0:11:100:11:13

-How many have you got?

-12. Everything in our country, 12 or 13.

0:11:130:11:18

12 I can understand. 13?

0:11:180:11:21

13 is a lucky number in our country.

0:11:210:11:23

Everything we buy is in 13s.

0:11:230:11:26

I've learnt something else today.

0:11:260:11:28

-Are we going to be lucky with this?

-I think we are.

0:11:280:11:32

Silver's doing particularly well, especially a dozen-set.

0:11:320:11:36

So if I said £10, £15 each...

0:11:360:11:39

Yes. 150 reserve, and maybe more.

0:11:420:11:46

'Banoo is quite a tough cookie and that's good,

0:11:460:11:50

'but we'll need all the luck we can get to reach our £500 target.

0:11:500:11:54

'but he then finds this stylish lady's watch,

0:11:560:12:00

'given to Banoo as an anniversary gift by her late husband.

0:12:000:12:04

'This dates from the early 1980s and Paul thinks that with this name,

0:12:040:12:09

'plus being plated with 9-carat gold, we could wind up with...'

0:12:090:12:14

'Also going to auction

0:12:170:12:18

'is this collection of art nouveau metal plaques

0:12:180:12:21

'set as one item.

0:12:210:12:23

'Depicting fairies and other creatures,

0:12:230:12:27

'we're hoping it'll conjure up...'

0:12:270:12:30

-Paul?

-Uh-huh.

-What do you think of this?

0:12:300:12:34

That's very attractive, isn't it?

0:12:340:12:38

-Is this the best china?

-Yes, for special occasions.

0:12:380:12:42

With my friends from London.

0:12:420:12:45

We use these sort of things, dinner plates

0:12:450:12:48

and side plates,

0:12:480:12:50

-but not the dishes itself, the dinner dishes.

-Right.

0:12:500:12:55

-So you have some dinner dishes as well.

-Yes, the dinner plates.

0:12:550:13:00

-How many have we got?

-13.

0:13:000:13:02

People do often buy dinner services in 13.

0:13:020:13:06

If you break one, you've got one left. Like a baker's dozen.

0:13:060:13:12

There would be 12 cups and saucers. What happened to the other one?

0:13:120:13:17

Apparently, one broke.

0:13:170:13:19

If there is a breakage in the house, we throw it away because that's unlucky.

0:13:190:13:25

-I'm learning every day. 13's lucky. Anything cracked is unlucky.

-Yes.

0:13:250:13:30

My life is very unlucky at the moment!

0:13:300:13:33

You have 11 cups and saucers.

0:13:330:13:35

The way they're sold is called a trio.

0:13:350:13:38

So you have a cup, a saucer and a side plate. That's called a trio.

0:13:380:13:43

This was developed in 1973.

0:13:430:13:45

A firm called Royal Doulton and the pattern's called Harlow.

0:13:450:13:49

The royal blue and the gold is very nice.

0:13:490:13:52

There's not too much design on it. It's very elegant.

0:13:520:13:57

If I was being realistic, if I said around the £100 mark...?

0:13:570:14:01

-Is that all right with you?

-I'll take a chance.

-Well, let's put the kettle on.

-OK.

0:14:050:14:13

'Hang on a minute. There's no time for refreshments.

0:14:130:14:16

'We appear to be doing well.

0:14:160:14:19

'I'm hoping a final push will turn up something seriously valuable.'

0:14:190:14:23

Oh, hello! Quality! Quality!

0:14:230:14:26

That was given to all my sisters and brothers,

0:14:260:14:31

from my father.

0:14:310:14:34

He said you can do what you like with it,

0:14:340:14:37

put it in a ring or a necklace.

0:14:370:14:40

-I decided on a bracelet.

-Why do you have gold given to you?

0:14:400:14:44

Mostly they give it to the girls in case they have a divorce.

0:14:440:14:48

-The girls can sell the gold.

-It looks like our sovereign.

0:14:480:14:52

-Do you know who this is represented on the front?

-The Shah of Iran.

0:14:520:14:56

-And on the back?

-It's the flag of Iran.

0:14:560:14:59

-A lion with a sword in his hand.

-I've never seen one like this.

0:14:590:15:04

It's very similar to our sovereign, which would be the King of the day.

0:15:040:15:09

In our case, Queen Victoria, King George. In this, the Shah.

0:15:090:15:13

So this will be 22-carat gold

0:15:130:15:16

and instantly recognisable anywhere in the world.

0:15:160:15:20

You could trade this in. It's worth its weight in gold.

0:15:200:15:24

How much is it worth?

0:15:240:15:26

How does that sound?

0:15:280:15:29

I would rather go for £400 to £500.

0:15:290:15:32

-Does that mean you want to take this to auction or think about it?

-I'll have to think about it.

0:15:320:15:39

It probably has more family value than monetary value we can realise.

0:15:390:15:44

That's about it. We've had a great day. Some really fascinating items.

0:15:440:15:49

I've learnt lots of things today about Iranian culture.

0:15:490:15:53

We've done quite well because, if we do bring the coin to the auction,

0:15:530:15:58

we reckon, conservatively, we could raise up to £750.

0:15:580:16:03

-How do you feel about that?

-Puts you over your target.

0:16:030:16:07

But that doesn't mean I can let go something like that.

0:16:070:16:12

OK. So maybe £550.

0:16:120:16:15

Which is still over the target. I like the way he thinks.

0:16:150:16:19

He's the optimist. Take a leaf out of his book, Grandma.

0:16:190:16:23

-It's not his money!

-That's a very good point as well.

0:16:230:16:27

-Anyway, best of luck.

-Thank you.

-And it's off to auction.

0:16:270:16:31

'Not a bad day's work, but I think Banoo still needs convincing about the value of some of her items,

0:16:310:16:38

'not least that gold coin - more of that later.

0:16:380:16:42

'At least £150 we're hoping for that set of Indian silver bowls.

0:16:420:16:47

'A gift from Banoo's parents, will they shine in the saleroom?

0:16:470:16:52

'The Royal Doulton tea set has been in the family for over 40 years.

0:16:520:16:59

'And this garnet necklace, given to Banoo on her wedding anniversary.

0:16:590:17:06

'Let's hope the bidders think it's as beautiful as we do.

0:17:060:17:12

'Still to come on Cash In The Attic,

0:17:120:17:15

'some impressive bidding gets the thumbs up from Banoo.'

0:17:150:17:19

£20 over your reserve.

0:17:190:17:21

That's fantastic! Fantastic result!

0:17:210:17:25

'But will one item make an unwelcome return?'

0:17:250:17:28

Oh, dear!

0:17:280:17:30

I don't want to take it back!

0:17:300:17:32

'Find out when the final hammer falls.

0:17:320:17:36

We had a great day in Luton.

0:17:400:17:42

Not only did we find interesting items, we also learnt about Banoo's Persian culture.

0:17:420:17:48

She's hoping to raise £500 for her new windows.

0:17:480:17:52

So we've brought her items to TW Gaze Auctioneers.

0:17:520:17:56

Let's hope for a bit of luck as they go under the hammer.

0:17:560:17:59

'This saleroom is at Diss on the Norfolk-Suffolk border.

0:17:590:18:03

'There's plenty of bidders keen to bag the best lots

0:18:030:18:07

'Paul and I find Banoo outside, having a browse.'

0:18:070:18:12

-There you are, outside!

-Are you buying something for the garden?

0:18:120:18:17

-No.

-We don't want any buying. We are selling today.

0:18:170:18:21

-Are we missing one? Where's the little one?

-Oh!

0:18:210:18:25

He is in school. He lives in Glasgow so he couldn't make it.

0:18:250:18:29

What a good boy. The big question is did you bring that gold guinea?

0:18:290:18:35

N-no.

0:18:350:18:37

That's fair enough, but it does mean we have got our work cut out.

0:18:370:18:41

-We have.

-Never mind. We'd better whiz inside. Come on.

0:18:410:18:46

'That's a blow, but Banoo has an eclectic mix of interesting pieces.

0:18:470:18:52

'Let's hope the bidders are interested in what she's offering.

0:18:520:18:57

'As we take our places, first up is that group of Action Men,

0:18:570:19:03

'once much loved by Banoo's son, but hopefully going to a good home.'

0:19:030:19:08

Starting at £10. Ten I have. Who's at 12?

0:19:080:19:11

-It's 12. 15. 18. 20...

-There you go.

0:19:110:19:15

..25. 28. 30. 32. 35. 38. 40...

0:19:150:19:19

SHE LAUGHS

0:19:190:19:21

..50. Five. 60. Five.

0:19:210:19:23

70. 70's on commission. 70 I have.

0:19:230:19:27

Is there five? We'll sell and away for £70...

0:19:270:19:30

-How good was that?

-£70!

0:19:300:19:35

'Who would have thought it?

0:19:350:19:39

'It goes to show there's a keen market for childhood collectables.

0:19:390:19:43

'Perhaps we won't miss that gold coin after all.

0:19:430:19:47

'Next under the hammer is that intriguing set of walking sticks.'

0:19:470:19:51

Three walking sticks. We're looking for £20 to £30.

0:19:510:19:56

15? £10 and start me there. Ten I have. Ten. 12.

0:19:560:20:01

15 is bid. Where's the 18?

0:20:010:20:04

It's 15 for the walking sticks. We will sell at the £15.

0:20:040:20:08

Are we all done...?

0:20:080:20:10

-Oh, well.

-Disappointing that one, Paul.

0:20:100:20:14

-I thought they'd walk out the saleroom.

-They limped.

0:20:140:20:17

Someone needs a caning.

0:20:170:20:19

'We don't advocate violence, but we were hoping they'd do better.'

0:20:190:20:24

Up next, we've got the brass table. You like this table.

0:20:240:20:28

Yes, I do like this table.

0:20:280:20:29

It's a lovely table here at £15.

0:20:290:20:33

It is here to go for £15. Is there £15?

0:20:330:20:37

Ten to get on, then? Anyone at all for £10?

0:20:370:20:41

No. Going to pass that one by.

0:20:430:20:45

It's such a nice table. You'd hate to see that go for £10.

0:20:450:20:49

-I don't want it back!

-Oh, dear!

0:20:490:20:52

I don't want to take it back.

0:20:520:20:55

'That beautiful piece does deserve to sell for a decent price.

0:20:550:21:01

'Today's bidders aren't quite biting yet.

0:21:010:21:04

'I wonder if we can stoke up some interest with this lot.'

0:21:040:21:09

It's not often you come to an auction to find a steam engine!

0:21:090:21:14

This is a model but this saleroom has a big section outside where they sell that sort of thing.

0:21:140:21:20

That should appeal to these buyers.

0:21:200:21:23

40. 40 I have. Are you two, sir?

0:21:230:21:27

42 behind. Are we five?

0:21:270:21:30

One more, sir? 45.

0:21:300:21:32

Are you eight? It's a good example. 45 I have. We sell at 45...

0:21:320:21:37

-That's great!

-Fantastic!

0:21:390:21:41

They like their toys around here.

0:21:410:21:44

'That's £5 over Paul's estimate

0:21:470:21:50

'and a much-needed boost for our total.

0:21:500:21:53

'We're now looking for serious bidding if we're going to make serious money.

0:21:530:21:56

'So can the art nouveau plaque hit its estimate?'

0:21:560:22:01

40? £30 to get on. It's an interesting piece.

0:22:030:22:07

30 I have. Who's the two?

0:22:070:22:09

-32. 35. 38. 40. Two.

-Yes!

0:22:090:22:13

45. 48. 50.

0:22:130:22:15

Five. We sell at 55...

0:22:150:22:17

Yes! Very good!

0:22:190:22:21

-Would that have been expensive when you bought it?

-No. £15.

0:22:210:22:27

-That's made a profit. Love profit!

-Excellent.

0:22:270:22:30

'A profit is what we need on all our items

0:22:300:22:34

'if we're to reach our target.

0:22:340:22:37

At the halfway point, we've made £185.

0:22:370:22:41

'Not bad, but with a £500 target, the only way is up.

0:22:410:22:46

'Like Banoo, if you're thinking of heading to auction

0:22:460:22:51

'remember that commission and other charges may apply, so check with the saleroom first.

0:22:510:22:56

'Next lot, the Royal Doulton dinner service

0:22:560:23:00

'which we're hoping will make...'

0:23:000:23:04

£70 will start me. A good Doulton name. 70 is bid.

0:23:040:23:08

Who's the five? 75. 80. Five. 90. Five.

0:23:080:23:11

95 I have. Where's the 100?

0:23:110:23:14

100. 110.

0:23:140:23:18

Selling at £110...

0:23:180:23:20

'Great result. After a low-key first half, we could be in with a chance.

0:23:200:23:26

'This next lot will really need to do well.'

0:23:260:23:32

A nice wrist watch, a Gucci one

0:23:320:23:34

Do you not wear it?

0:23:340:23:35

Not so much any more. It's just in the box with the guarantee in it.

0:23:350:23:41

I put this in at £100 to £150. Nice to have its box with it.

0:23:410:23:45

It's very funky, very modern.

0:23:450:23:47

-Let's hope a lady here takes a shine to it.

-Yes.

0:23:470:23:50

£50 and start me. A Gucci watch for £50.

0:23:500:23:53

55. 60. Five.

0:23:530:23:55

70. Five. 80. Five.

0:23:550:23:59

At 85 and we'll go...

0:23:590:24:01

Ooh! 85's a good price, I think, for that.

0:24:030:24:06

'£15 under estimate isn't a disaster but there's still a way to go

0:24:060:24:11

'if Banoo's to get new windows.

0:24:110:24:14

'Will this next lot give our auction some much needed sparkle?

0:24:140:24:18

'It's the garnet necklace and we're hoping for at least...'

0:24:180:24:22

It's a good necklace here at £70. 75. 80. Five.

0:24:220:24:26

90. Five.

0:24:260:24:28

-Is there 100? The bid's 95.

-Away they go.

0:24:280:24:31

95...

0:24:310:24:33

-How do you feel about that?

-All right.

-Ooh.

0:24:330:24:37

That face says it all. Come and have a cuddle.

0:24:370:24:41

'Not quite the result we wanted,

0:24:410:24:45

'but Banoo shouldn't be too downhearted.

0:24:450:24:48

'I'm hoping we could finish with a flourish.'

0:24:480:24:51

Last up, the big item.

0:24:510:24:53

I really like these silver Indian bowls.

0:24:530:24:56

-There is a reserve on this, isn't there?

-Yes.

0:24:560:24:58

The lowest end of my estimate, £150 reserve.

0:24:580:25:01

It's the bowls here at 110. 120. 130. 140.

0:25:010:25:05

150. 160. 160 I have.

0:25:050:25:08

Is there 70? Good bowls here for 160. 170 new bidder.

0:25:080:25:12

Where's 80? We sell at 170...

0:25:120:25:14

That's £20 over your reserve.

0:25:140:25:16

Fantastic. Fantastic result. What a result!

0:25:160:25:20

'It's lovely to see a big smile from Banoo.

0:25:200:25:24

'Those bowls proved a tasty treasure for one bidder.

0:25:240:25:26

'The question is, have we reached our target?'

0:25:260:25:30

-That's the end of the day. Have you enjoyed yourself?

-Yes.

0:25:300:25:33

Two handsome men and me in the middle! I have enjoyed myself.

0:25:330:25:38

You wanted to raise how much? £500?

0:25:380:25:41

You wanted to do some work at your house. I think you'll have some good work done.

0:25:410:25:47

-The grand total today is £645.

-Ooh!

0:25:470:25:50

-No. I can't believe it. Really? With my two items not gone?

-Yeah.

0:25:500:25:55

-How good is that?

-Very good.

0:25:550:25:58

You've got a little bounce in your step. £645.

0:25:580:26:02

-Have you enjoyed yourself?

-I have.

0:26:020:26:04

'A few weeks after the auction and Banoo's put the money

0:26:100:26:14

'towards some home improvements.

0:26:140:26:17

'This is how her house looked.

0:26:170:26:19

'And here it is with double-glazed windows finally installed.'

0:26:190:26:24

I think the windows look very nice. The house looks bright and open.

0:26:250:26:29

I'm pleased with them, and the money helped a lot.

0:26:290:26:33

If you want to raise some money for something special

0:26:370:26:40

and you think you might have hidden treasures, why don't you apply to be on the show?

0:26:400:26:45

All the details are online at:

0:26:450:26:47

I'll see you next time on Cash In The Attic.
