0:00:02 > 0:00:08Hello. Welcome to Cash In The Attic, the show that finds hidden antiques and collectables in your home
0:00:08 > 0:00:14and helps sell them at auction. Today's family want to spruce up something special in their lives.
0:00:33 > 0:00:39'Coming up on Cash In The Attic: a touch of tankard envy on rummage day.'
0:00:39 > 0:00:43I've got to say, I prefer the size of his tankard!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45They do look more welcoming!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49'Clearly size does matter when it comes to these.'
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I found a little spirit level my size.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57'And at auction a boot sale bargain turns out a surprising result.'
0:00:57 > 0:01:02- You thought it was a bit of old junk and it's £70!- Yeah.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05'Find out more when the hammer falls.'
0:01:05 > 0:01:12Today we are in south east London to meet a mother and son who want to raise a little bit of money
0:01:12 > 0:01:16to make their home away from home a little more habitable.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21'Robbie Saunders and his mum Carol are two members of a very large south London family,
0:01:21 > 0:01:27'and that doesn't include those pets. Sadly, dad John can't be with us today for health reasons,
0:01:27 > 0:01:33'but Robbie is a regular visitor to where his mum and dad have lived for over 10 years.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39'We hope to turn up a decent haul of collectables that make a fortune. John can't wait to get started,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44- 'so I send him on his merry way.' Ready for work?- Always.- Good boy.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50Ah, there they are. And working already? I like to see that. That IS good news!
0:01:50 > 0:01:57- You must be Robbie. And Carol. I got the names right and the right house - good start!- A good start!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Own up. Who called our team? - Me. That would be me.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07- You called us in? That surprises me. Are you a fan?- Yes, I watch it every day. Never miss it.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12That sounds very impressive! I like this. Why did you call us in?
0:02:12 > 0:02:18To raise money for my mum to get decking outside the caravan so my dad and mum can sit outside.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24- And how much is that going to cost? - About 400.- £400. So we've got our work cut out.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30- Are you going to cry or argue with me or are you willing...? - No, I'm willing to let it go.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- It's all for a good cause. - Let's go and find John.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39'This home isn't exactly overflowing with antiques and collectables,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43'but there are just enough nooks and crannies to hide some treasures.
0:02:43 > 0:02:50'We're lucky that our man John Cameron has many years experience and is an expert at picking out
0:02:50 > 0:02:52'the very best.'
0:02:52 > 0:02:57This is interesting. Robbie, where's this from?
0:02:57 > 0:03:03- My mum picked it up from a boot sale for two quid.- I know my beer and that's not a very big one!
0:03:03 > 0:03:08It's marked a quart. These were used to buy beer to take away.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14So you get measurements on the back. Half pints or half litres. They're known as steins.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19It's quite nice. It's by...if we turn it over...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Villeroy Boch. The letters VB.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28And see where it says Mettlach? That's where the company is still based in western Germany.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- And this little tankard here dates to about 1900.- Ah. - I love the decoration.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Known as sgraffito - scratched into the surface.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43A wonderful little scene here of this Franciscan or Dominican monk
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- handing out two tankards there. - I prefer the size of his tankards!
0:03:48 > 0:03:53They do look more welcoming! But a nice thing. The lid's intact.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59- It's got metal mounts. Nice little finial there. So £2. - Mm. It's going to change into...?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I'm going to say £60-£80. - That much?!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Yeah.- Drinks are on you, mate.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- That's not bad, is it? - No, not bad.
0:04:09 > 0:04:16It just shows that a few pounds at a boot sale could mean tens of pounds on auction day. Cheers, John.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22Robbie's working his way around the house and turns up this collection of Ordnance Survey maps
0:04:22 > 0:04:27left to him by a neighbour who recorded every place he visited.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32There's a modest collectors' market for these. Prices vary with date
0:04:32 > 0:04:36and there's even one of Lincolnshire from 1705.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39John gives the collection a £20-£30 estimate.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- Carol, meanwhile, has prepared a little presentation.- Hello, Carol.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50- Hello.- That's an impressive collection of brooches.- Oh, yes. I've collected these for years.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- I hope they're out for my benefit. - Yes.- You'd consider selling?- Yes.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01- Very much so.- OK. How many are here? - Er, roughly 200.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07- How did it all start?- Years ago, my mother-in-law gave me... this one.
0:05:07 > 0:05:14- This one here?- Yes.- That's quite nice. It's like a morning brooch with the black agate on here.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- And these diamante stones. And this was the first one?- Yes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:26Costume jewellery's been around for thousands of years. The Egyptians made it, as did the Romans.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Costume jewellery is made from semi-precious materials,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34but the real fashionable age would have been in the 1920s
0:05:34 > 0:05:41when couturier houses like Coco Chanel, Yves St Laurent were producing suits of jewellery.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Nowadays, a lot of companies make them and quality does vary,
0:05:45 > 0:05:53but there's a very active collecting field. I'd look at an estimate of £70-£90.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Yes.- But I'd hope they make over 100.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- OK.- If you had to keep one, what would it be?- The one in your hand.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Well, you keep that one, then, and we'll take the rest to auction.- Yes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08You can start another collection!
0:06:08 > 0:06:14'Hmm. That's not a huge amount for such an extensive collection, but it all helps.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19'As ever, time is against us, so it's a good job John finds this little lot -
0:06:19 > 0:06:24'a silver pocket watch and chain, a half-hunter 9-carat-gold wristwatch
0:06:24 > 0:06:30'and an early 20th-century watch minus its strap. The pocket watch was Robbie's great-granddad's
0:06:30 > 0:06:36'and the other pieces were handed down by his uncle Bob. John reckons they could fetch
0:06:36 > 0:06:39'between £60 to £80 at auction.'
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- We'll leave John rummaging about. You don't mind, do you?- No.
0:06:44 > 0:06:51- Get him to do all the hard work. - Yeah, that's easy.- It is! We'll have a nice sit down and catch up.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- I've seen so many photographs about your family. It's enormous!- Yes.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Give it to me in facts and figures. How many are there?
0:07:00 > 0:07:06I've got five brothers, four sisters... and 11 nieces and nephews.
0:07:06 > 0:07:13We've not mentioned an important factor in this large family, your husband. He's had a tough time.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16He's had a major heart by-pass
0:07:16 > 0:07:22and then when he came out of the operation, they found he had kidney trouble.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Then he had dialysis after dialysis.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- He's trying to get over it now. - So it's been a tough time.- Yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35And it's important that he gets away from all the stresses and strains,
0:07:35 > 0:07:42- so what will it mean to you to make those improvements to the caravan? - Oh, it'll be heaven.- A lot.
0:07:42 > 0:07:48More safer for my husband that he doesn't have to strain to get from the top to the bottom.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51He can just walk straight out.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Well, £400 isn't going to make itself, so...- Let's go rummage!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58You got it right! Back to work.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04'It's clear they are a very close and loving family and I'm glad that today's search will help
0:08:04 > 0:08:09'to make life a little more bearable for dad John. We need to carry on.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15'John soon finds this Pears Soap mirror, which is another of Carol's car boot finds.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20'Pears was the first transparent soap, introduced in 1789,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24'making it one of the world's oldest continuously existing brands.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28'Mirrors like these are widely collected and are relatively modern.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31'John gives it a £10-£20 price tag.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44'We're halfway through our day with Carol and Robbie and halfway through our search for collectables.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49'With our total currently at £220, there's still a long way to go.'
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Boys, come and have a look at this. There's a whole load of tools there.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Is this everything? - No, one more thing.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I think... it's known as a spirit level.
0:09:08 > 0:09:15That's quite a nice level, actually. It's got a maker on here. J Raeburn. John Raeburn and Sons, Birmingham.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20A real heavy piece, but with its original box. Where are these from?
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- From my uncle's granddad. - He was a carpenter?- Yes, he was.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- He was a shipwright on the docks. - There is a market for vintage tools.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35One particular auction house specialises in nothing but these.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41Collectors look for good makers, like Raeburn, like Stanley.
0:09:41 > 0:09:48- Some of the early planes are sought after.- It's a tool box, but that looks quite pretty, ornate.
0:09:48 > 0:09:54- The decoration.- Yes. This is a well-made piece. They are a good company.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58This wouldn't have been a cheap thing when it was first bought.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00So how much, John, for this?
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Well, for me, without delving right into that box, I like this.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10I would certainly put them in at £40-£60. They might make over £50.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17- I found a little spirit level my size. What do you think?- Nice. - Does that add something?- No.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23- I'll stick with my estimate, but that's nice. I like that. - Little things please little minds.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29'I'm happy even if these two aren't. Let's hope the tools prove a hit on auction day.'
0:10:30 > 0:10:3328. 30. 2.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- 35. 38. 40.- 'Will they help raise enough cash for that decking?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41'We'll find out soon enough.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49'As our search continues, Carol unearths a framed Australian banker's cheque
0:10:49 > 0:10:54'dating from 1855. It was left to Robbie by his neighbour.
0:10:54 > 0:11:01'The collection of cheques is known as fiscalia. This example is in pretty poor condition,
0:11:01 > 0:11:06'but we still hope an interested bidder will pay around £20-£30.'
0:11:07 > 0:11:13- John, what do you think of these? - Let's look at that one first. Where are these from, Robbie?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18My mum got this from the charity shop when she used to work there.
0:11:18 > 0:11:25- She just picked this up. - This one here is Gucci. It's on the square dial there.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29It's a modern watch, stainless steel, a G Line model.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34These are quite expensive new. We're talking £300 or £400 for this.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Second-hand value of Gucci watches is not terribly great.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43I wouldn't expect more than about £50-£100.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49I don't know why women's watches aren't so desirable second-hand, but they're not.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54A man's watch will hold its residue value much more than a lady's watch, but a sellable item.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00- Quite nice, in good condition. - And this one my mum picked up, but I'm not sure where.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04OK, well, it looks like a 1950s cocktail watch.
0:12:04 > 0:12:11- Gold bracelet strap, 9-carat-gold case. These aren't practical because the dial is so small.- Yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17And it's lost some markings on the dial. Nevertheless, nice and it is gold.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The two of them together at auction, about £100-£150.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Yep, sounds good to me.- Jolly good.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Excellent. You keep hold of those. Let's see what else we find.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32'That is our best find so far, but there's more!
0:12:32 > 0:12:38'The cupboard under the stairs gives up these three earthenware Majolica tiles.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44'Dating from the 19th century, they were originally made by Minton, but took off all over the world.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48'Majolica has moulded surfaces and colourful glazes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52'Considering Robbie picked these up for only £1.50,
0:12:52 > 0:12:57'an estimate of £15-£20 is a pretty good return on his investment.
0:12:57 > 0:13:04'Our day is almost over. There's one last discovery which needs John's expert viewing.'
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- What have you got there? - Fishing reels.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13Right. That one looks a bit busted up. Let's look at that other one. That's good.
0:13:13 > 0:13:19That's Victorian or Edwardian. No maker's name and we've lost the little winding handles.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Where did these come from? - These were my uncle Bob's.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Was he a fly fishing man?
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- A couple of times he went fishing with my dad.- You never use them?- No.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34There's a maker's name on here. See that?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Samuel Allcock, that is. Of Redditch. Yeah, very famous.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43That's the best of the three. They're an interesting firm.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48They started making flies for the trout and the salmon.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Very much a kind of upper class sport, fly fishing,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56but in the 19th century a huge, huge business.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- Is this everything you've got? - Just rods. Two rods.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04OK. That piece on its own, I'd throw the other reels in,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I'd put in at £40-£50.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Really? That much? I'm shocked.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Did I hear money being discussed? How much?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17£40-£50 for the fishing reel.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Well, that's not too bad. I'm afraid that's just about it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- We've worked really hard. - I enjoyed it.- Are you sure?- Yes.
0:14:26 > 0:14:33- You wanted to raise £400 today, didn't you? For your little piece of heaven in the caravan park.- Yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:40- We reckon, conservatively, at auction we could raise £435. - Oooh.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43That's very good. Fantastic.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- Was it worth us wrecking your house? - It's worth it.- Definitely was.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Well, we've had a productive day with Robbie and Carol.
0:14:52 > 0:15:00The estimates are a little up and down, but I'm hoping we make enough for those much-needed improvements.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Carol found that German stein at a car boot sale.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Let's hope it brings us some cheer at £60-£80.
0:15:08 > 0:15:15At a very reasonable £70-£90, we're pinning our hopes on that collection of dress jewellery.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19And there's also that pair of ladies' watches.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25The 1950s cocktail watch and the Gucci timepiece were bought by Carol in a charity shop.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29John estimates the pair at £100-£150.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34- 'Coming up...'- Nostalgia. Nobody? - 'One lot fails to live up to Robbie's expectations.'
0:15:34 > 0:15:40- A bit disappointed. - You thought they'd get a bit more? - I would have thought more.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45'But what's got the bidders so excited? Not to mention Carol.'
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Very good! - Well done to your old man, eh?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53'Be there for the final drop of the gavel.'
0:15:56 > 0:16:00What an interesting haul, but this is where it all comes together.
0:16:00 > 0:16:06We've brought Robbie, Carol and all those family possessions here to the Chiswick Auctions.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12Let's hope the lots perk up enough interest to get that caravan fully decked out.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17There's plenty of people here today, so let's hope our lots are in demand.
0:16:17 > 0:16:24John and I can't wait to whisk them into position as the first of their lots comes under the hammer.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26The Pears branded mirror.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- What are we expecting? - £10-£20. It is a reproduction.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34These were very popular in the 1980s and '90s.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Lots of reproductions abound. They're now not so popular, hence my pretty low estimate.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- I've got a left bid of £10. - Our bottom bid.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46At £10. Are you all done?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49£10. I'm going to sell the mirror.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I didn't think we would clean up, but I'm happy with a tenner.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So am I. £10 isn't a bad return.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59And there's plenty more to come.
0:16:59 > 0:17:06Let's hope we can catch the bidders with these beautiful rods and mahogany reels.
0:17:06 > 0:17:12- Unusual items, John. Will they go well?- We've certainly got a good maker's name, Allcock.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15He's one of the best-known makers.
0:17:15 > 0:17:22- I haven't got a lot on them, so hopefully we'll get someone on the hook and land them.- A bite!
0:17:22 > 0:17:26£20, please. Fishing reels at 20?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'm bid 20 there in the doorway. £22 there.
0:17:29 > 0:17:3225. 28.
0:17:32 > 0:17:3530. 32.
0:17:35 > 0:17:3835. £35 in that doorway. Anybody else?
0:17:38 > 0:17:4135 is the bid. 35.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Fishing memorabilia, they do like them.- Good decorating objects.
0:17:45 > 0:17:52You get that public school decorator's feel with a few rowing oars here and there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58It's a shame we just missed John's bottom estimate, but there are plenty more fish in the sea.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04Let's hope the Ordnance Survey maps guide the way to a more successful result.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08It's interesting to see the urbanisation
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and how things have changed, but only £20-£30.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15£10 for the lot? Worth £10 for them, surely.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Anybody want them for £10? No interest?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23A bit of nostalgia. Nobody? £10 I'm bid in the doorway.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Anybody else?
0:18:25 > 0:18:32- A bit disappointed. - Did you think we'd get more? - I would have thought more, yeah.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35We just didn't have the right kind of bidder today,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39but every sale helps towards that target.
0:18:39 > 0:18:46Maybe our next item will give us cause to celebrate. That stein tankard is a favourite of John's.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Do we have a couple of buyers
0:18:49 > 0:18:52to bid it up to our estimate?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'm straight in at £35.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56£35...
0:18:56 > 0:19:0040. 45. 50. 55.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- 60 there.- 60 there.
0:19:02 > 0:19:0770 in the room. Anybody else? I'm going to sell it, then. £70.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Did that surprise you?- It did.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- You thought it was a bit of old junk and £70!- Yes.
0:19:15 > 0:19:21I'll drink to that result! Carol's boot sale bargain proved to be a very healthy investment.
0:19:21 > 0:19:27Our next lot to go under the hammer is this Australian banker's cheque of Robbie's.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30That dates back to 1855.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Interesting to numismatists, the collecting circle,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38but it would be much nicer with an important signature.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42It's quite an early cheque, but only £20-£30 on it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47I'm bid straight off £10. £10. 12 there.
0:19:47 > 0:19:4914. 16.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Ooh.- 18. 20.
0:19:52 > 0:19:5422. 25.
0:19:54 > 0:19:5928. £28 in the doorway. At 28.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- I'm going to sell it at 28. - £28! That's a great result. - Yeah, it's good.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I was a bit worried it would bounce!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Steady with those jokes, John!
0:20:09 > 0:20:13But it was worth a lot more than the paper it's written on.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18If you'd like to try buying or selling this way, fees will apply,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22so it's best to check them in advance. We're halfway through now
0:20:22 > 0:20:28and so far I can reveal that we've made £153 towards the £400
0:20:28 > 0:20:33they want to raise for the decking for their caravan.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39We have many prized items still to come, including Carol's collection of costume jewellery.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44She's picked them up at boot sales and charity shops.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50- We've got a whole collection there. - Not quite enough for a different one every day of the year,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54but we were getting there. I put £70-£90 to be tempting.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Start me at £30. A mixed bag. 30 I'm bid.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01£30. 32. 35.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- 38. 40.- (Over there.)
0:21:04 > 0:21:0650. 5. 60.
0:21:06 > 0:21:0865. 70.
0:21:08 > 0:21:105.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- 80.- Yes, come on.
0:21:13 > 0:21:1590. 5.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- 100.- Yes!- 110.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20120? 120 there.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- 130.- Get in.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28£140. Original bidder at 140. Are you all done? 140.
0:21:28 > 0:21:34- A bit of quality, just like Carol, and we get some money in. - All the years of collecting.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38All worth while and the sale of those brooches
0:21:38 > 0:21:42will go a long way to improving access to the family caravan.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Next up are our three earthenware Majolica-style tiles. Only three.
0:21:47 > 0:21:53Shame we don't have six. They'd come from fireplaces and are in demand
0:21:53 > 0:21:55to put them back in!
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- So £15-£20, John. - A fiver each. Let's see. - Sounds like a bargain.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04I've got a left bid on this lot of £10.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06£10. £12. £15.
0:22:06 > 0:22:1018 in the room. 18 there. 20. 22.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Yes.- £22 here.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16£22 for the tiles. 22.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- It still keeps ticking over. - Ticking over.- Lovely.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Restoration of fireplaces is big business.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29It was well worth bringing them, even without the full set.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Let's hope the high bids keep ticking over with these watches.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38One belonged to Robbie's great grandfather, the others his uncle.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Three interesting watches. We've got a full pocket watch,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46a kind of transitional watch between a wristwatch and a fob,
0:22:46 > 0:22:51and then a wristwatch. So a nice historic lot here.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54£60-£80. We should be OK.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- There's a little bit of interest. Straight in at £60.- Bang on.
0:22:59 > 0:23:0265. 70. £70. 75.
0:23:02 > 0:23:0480. 85.
0:23:04 > 0:23:0790. £95 from the doorway.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- £100 in the corner.- Yes!
0:23:09 > 0:23:15110. Are you all done? £110. I'm going to sell at 110.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Very good!- Very good. - Well done to your old man, eh?
0:23:19 > 0:23:24- Will he be pleased with that? - Oh, yes. He will be.- Excellent.
0:23:24 > 0:23:30That's almost twice John's bottom estimate. How lovely that something passed down the generations
0:23:30 > 0:23:33has helped to contribute today.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39I'm surprised you're not up there grabbing these things back. You love these tools.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Yeah, especially the leveller. In the box.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- The spirit level. Very well made. - A nice thing.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50The rest of the tools are very much in used condition.
0:23:50 > 0:23:57Although they are collectable, condition is everything and they even want the boxes, like toy cars.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00£20 to start me for the tools. I'm bid 20.
0:24:00 > 0:24:0322 I'll take. 22.
0:24:03 > 0:24:0525. 28. 30.
0:24:05 > 0:24:0832. 35. 38. 40.
0:24:08 > 0:24:125. 50. 5.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15£55 in the doorway. 60.
0:24:15 > 0:24:1865. 70. 5.
0:24:18 > 0:24:2180. 5.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23£85 in the doorway. All done?
0:24:23 > 0:24:27That's it. £85. Going to sell it.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Wow!- Yes!
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Look at his little face.- Yes. - That's wicked. Blinding.
0:24:33 > 0:24:40Despite being well worn, there's a healthy market for vintage tools, especially with good names.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Next up are the timepieces - a Gucci and a cocktail watch.
0:24:45 > 0:24:52We've tasted success with watches already, but John says ladies' varieties aren't always successful.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I've got £100-£150. Should be around that.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57What are they worth? £50? Bid 50.
0:24:57 > 0:24:5955. 60.
0:24:59 > 0:25:025. 70. 5. 80.
0:25:02 > 0:25:055. 90. Fresh bidding.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- £90 on the table here. - Come on.- At £90.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- We weren't quite there, but in the area.- Yep.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19- £90. You didn't want the watch. - No, I can't wear it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23It didn't go with your dress. Gone.
0:25:23 > 0:25:30Well, that's not a bad finish. Time to find out if Robbie and Carol have made enough money to go ahead
0:25:30 > 0:25:32with the decking.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Your caravan will look really great.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40Today you have raised a whopping £600!
0:25:40 > 0:25:44What? 600?! I thought it was only about 450.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- What a surprise! - Quick! Hold her, she's going!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- £600.- Oh, fantastic.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00They can now put that caravan decking in place to make John's life easier.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06Robbie's wasted no time in heading to his local timber merchant.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12- Can we talk about this decking? - Yeah.- I just want to ask how's the grip?- The grip's very good.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It's already been machined.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19'I've been looking for some decking, seeing what quotes I can get.'
0:26:19 > 0:26:24It lets my dad walk out without stepping down. Nice and flat.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28I just want the right material so my dad doesn't slip.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Thank you very much.- All the best.
0:26:37 > 0:26:44What a great result for Robbie and Carol. We wish them all the best and great times in their caravan.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49If you want to raise some money and think you have hidden treasures in your home,
0:26:49 > 0:26:54why not apply to be on the show? All the details are online.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Good luck. I'll see you next time.
