0:00:02 > 0:00:08Welcome to Cash In The Attic, where we look through your antiques and collectables to sell at auction.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Today we're going to be meeting a lady who called us in
0:00:12 > 0:00:16to help get the money she needs to keep the home fires burning.
0:00:36 > 0:00:43'Coming up: a diamond and sapphire ring brings out the romantic in Jonty.'
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Oh, darling, will you marry me? - Sorry, I'm already married.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52'The lady of the house shows us a 19th-century Windsor chair of her granddad's.'
0:00:52 > 0:01:00He'd go to sleep and snore and we'd put paper on his lip and make it tickle and he'd wake up! He'd laugh.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04'At auction, a sparkling sale causes much delight.'
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Well done.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12'Join us for a glittering time when the hammer falls.'
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Today I've come to Brighton to meet Judy Corkhill.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21She's very well travelled, but she wants help to keep warm at home.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27'This retired police officer who still works part-time
0:01:27 > 0:01:30'has had an interesting life.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36'Aged 17, Judy joined the Army, but left after 4 years to be a telephonist for the Merchant Navy.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41'She visited the four corners of the world, picking up many pieces.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47'She's also inherited lots of stuff from her family and now thinks it's time to declutter.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51'I'm joined by Jonty Hearnden today.'
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Morning, Jonty.- Hi. - Glad to see you bright and early.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58'His antiques knowledge will be put to good use.'
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Good morning! Found something? - Oh, no. You can't have him.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I'm not selling my Ruperts.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Are you quite a collector?- I am.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Well, how much do you want to raise?
0:02:11 > 0:02:18I want a new fire cos this is very old and I want the fireplace taking out and everything.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- It's going to cost quite a bit. - What kind of money do we need to raise today?
0:02:23 > 0:02:28As much as I can. Anything between £300 and £500 if I can.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- We'd better get started, then. - I'll rely on you.- I'll catch up with you later.- Avoid the bears!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I'm not selling them, don't forget.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40So these items, where have they come from?
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Some of it's my mum's or my gran's. Some of it I've collected myself.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- How long have you been here? - Oh, 28 years.- All right, OK. - Quite a long time.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Have you got 28 years of clutter? - Probably, yes!
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- You go and find some! - Come on, then. We haven't got 28 years to wade through it!
0:03:01 > 0:03:09'I can understand why Judy wants to replace her old fire and how lovely to help her achieve this.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14'Judy shared this house with her mum and says she was her best friend.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18'Her mum lived to 78 and they were both keen collectors.'
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Ah!- Hello.- I promise I haven't got a bear in my hand.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31- You've got my horses.- I know. - Where did you get these from? - They were Mum's.
0:03:31 > 0:03:38- She had them a long time. - Are you a horse fan? I know you're a bear fan.- Not really.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- More a bear fan. - I notice a foal there as well.
0:03:41 > 0:03:48Oh, yes. I was given this when I left the Army by some colleagues. It's quite cute.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- And it goes with those.- They do.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- Both are made by Beswick. I call it "Bes-wick".- Or "Bezzick"?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Somebody wrote to me and said, "In the factory we said Bes-wick."
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- Generically, a lot of people call it "Bezzick". - Really?- So I call it Beswick.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11This is a very unusual group. You see an awful lot of chestnut horses and foals.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15This is the most popular colourware from the factory,
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- but I've never seen a group like this, so that's good news.- Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24As far as selling these groups are concerned,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28we're looking at £30-£50.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Right.- Is that good? - Sounds fine to me.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36'What a charming combined lot these three horses will make.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38'Hopefully, bidders will like them.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47'In the 1980s, Judy began collecting pieces by Franklin Mint.
0:04:47 > 0:04:54'This company was set up in America in 1964 when they started making casino tokens, medallions
0:04:54 > 0:05:01'and legal tender for foreign countries. They expanded to include a wide variety of ornaments.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06'Jonty's spotted a set of 12 decorative eggs on their stand.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10'Despite being limited editions, they're not terribly valuable
0:05:10 > 0:05:14'and get a £10-£20 estimate for the lot.'
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Judy, this is a really good-looking chair here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:26- Whose was this?- My granddad's. - Really?- When we were up north, he'd have this in the room.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31He'd go to sleep and snore and we put paper on his lip
0:05:31 > 0:05:37and made it tickle. He'd wake up! But he was always there, sitting in the middle in his chair.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- Nobody else sat on it. - These are known as Windsor chairs.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Oh, really?- But they were made in different parts of the UK.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49A chair like this is 19th century.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Maybe as good as 150 years old.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Now if we look at the underside, there is a feature here
0:05:56 > 0:06:00that is desirable as far as antique chairs are concerned.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06This u-shaped stretcher here is known as a crinoline stretcher.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10It's much nicer to have that than just a turned one at the front.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14In this state, if we put it in the sale,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18we're looking at £60-£80, but don't be surprised
0:06:18 > 0:06:20if it makes more than that.
0:06:20 > 0:06:27'But when it gets to the sale room, will the bidders be as taken with it as Jonty?'
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Start me at £50 for it? £40?
0:06:29 > 0:06:34'We'll have to wait a little longer to see if anyone shows interest.
0:06:35 > 0:06:42'As the search here continues, going by Jonty's lowest estimates so far,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45'we stand to make £100 at the sale room.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51'So we still have a fair way to go to reach Judy's £300-£500 target.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56'Now I love boxes and can't fail to notice these three examples,
0:06:56 > 0:07:01'which Judy bought when on the ships. She used them for jewellery,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03'but is happy for them to go now.
0:07:05 > 0:07:11'They're Chinese and have been made for the tourist market, so they get an estimate of £20-£30 for auction.'
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Jonty? Now look.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22You're not going to believe this, but inside that box is a whole Chinese village.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- I don't believe you. - It's true.- Yes.- I don't believe you.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32Let's have a look. Before we go any further, this is not Chinese. It's Japanese.
0:07:32 > 0:07:38What we're looking at are all these tiny little houses and people and even birds.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Extraordinary. Bamboo houses on bamboo stilts.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45So you could make your own village.
0:07:45 > 0:07:52- Date-wise, we can really date it by looking at the box. Someone's drawn a moustache on her!- I know.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54That's not very fair.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- I would suggest that she is pre the Second World War.- Yes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:05- Does that make sense to you? - I think it was my stepfather's brother. He was in the Navy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- He brought it back after the war. - So we have one, two, three little houses.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15But look at this - baby cranes with a rather damaged neck.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21- Oh, dear. - Will it make a nice price, though? - I don't think vast sums.- Right.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24But put it in at £10-£20.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- It all helps, doesn't it?- OK, fine.
0:08:27 > 0:08:34'Judy certainly has some fascinating items around her home here on the south coast.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38'In the bedroom, I come across some gold jewellery.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44'There's a bracelet with turquoise and moonstones, plus two rings, one with emeralds.
0:08:44 > 0:08:51'They belonged to Judy's mother and are early 20th century. The estimate is £80-£120.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54'My search unearthed something else.'
0:08:54 > 0:09:01Rummaging around, I found this, which I might put to good use if Jonty doesn't come up with things.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- What's the story behind this? - It's my granddad's.
0:09:05 > 0:09:12- He was a policeman for 33 years. - And I understand you followed in the family footsteps.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I did, yes. I became a police officer
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- and I was in the job for 26 years. - So what era was that?
0:09:20 > 0:09:27- I joined in 1973.- I would imagine in the '70s and early '80s it would have been quite tough.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Well, it was. There were very few policewomen.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I mean, you'd be one in a whole department.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- And you had to be one of the lads. - What did you do before you joined the police?
0:09:40 > 0:09:45Well, initially I joined the Army to see the world.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50But I didn't get anywhere. All my friends went all over,
0:09:50 > 0:09:56so I joined the Merchant Navy and worked on passenger liners and went round the world several times.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- That was great.- You haven't lost the travelling bug, have you?- No.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04There's always somewhere different to go, somewhere interesting.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09I went on a cruise with friends last year. We worked on ships together.
0:10:09 > 0:10:16- 40 years on, we decided to go and be passengers.- I bet you were the worst type of passengers!
0:10:16 > 0:10:23Well, at least we knew what was going on, anyway. We probably got our own way a bit more.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Well, you can be a passenger today. Jonty will do the valuations.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Shall we see if he has anything else?- That'll be great, yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:39'Jonty's been busy searching the spare room and has found a collection of commemorative coins.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44'One was to celebrate the Queen's Coronation in 1953
0:10:44 > 0:10:48'and another was brought out in 1977 for the Queen's Silver Jubilee.
0:10:48 > 0:10:55'There's also a Millennium £5 coin and, put together, we get a £10-£20 estimate from our expert.'
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Judy? Are you down there? - Hello.- There you are.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Oh, look, you found my chest.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08I'm admiring it here. It's a quite substantial piece.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Where did it come from?- Hong Kong, when I was on the ships.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- It was quite exciting.- So it was made on the other side of the world.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21If we look at the panel on the top, it couldn't be more Chinese.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25You've got the junk boat, the pagoda and two Chinese figures.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- And that panel there is hand-carved. - Right.
0:11:29 > 0:11:35- But you know it's a new piece? You weren't sold it as an antique, were you?- No, no.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40You can tell it's relatively new just by looking at the brass lock.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46- That tells you it's quite new. - Oh, right.- If it was antique, it would be oxidised.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52- So it's camphor wood and it's got an amazing smell. - I'm amazed it's lasted for so long.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- The smell.- When it comes to selling a piece like this,
0:11:56 > 0:12:01it's going to be sold as a second-hand piece.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Are you ready for a second-hand price?- What would that be?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I think £50-£80 at auction.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- What do you think about that? - That's fine.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18'I'm searching Judy's bedroom on the hunt for treasure. I love this job!
0:12:18 > 0:12:23'In the spare room, though, our host has struck gold.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29'She's found a 22-carat gold wedding ring and a 9-carat-gold dress ring with a turquoise stone.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35'They belonged to her mother and she's happy to let them go with an estimate of £80-£120.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39'And my search has paid off, too.'
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Jonty? Are you there?
0:12:42 > 0:12:48- I found something very glittery. - Oh, darling, will you marry me? - Sorry, I'm already married.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- Isn't that lovely?- Yeah. - We've got some real value there.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57We'd better find out if we can sell it. Are you there, Judy?
0:12:57 > 0:13:03I have found a very nice ring, but I'm not sure that it's something you want to sell.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Oh, that was my mum's.- Was it?- Yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- I bought it for her.- Did you? - Where?- When I was at sea.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15I thought my mum would love it, so I bought it for her.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19It's quite interesting here. I can't see any hallmarks.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25So when we put it into the auction sale, you can't call it gold. You have to call it white metal.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31- Does that make a difference? - It might, but a lot of people will clearly see this as gold.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35But if you look at the ring and the stones,
0:13:35 > 0:13:42you've got one, two, three, four, five baguette-shaped sapphires, which are a nice colour.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47You're looking for a purply hue in a blue sapphire.
0:13:47 > 0:13:54That gives it the quality. And then you've got two, four, six, eight... 12 little diamonds in there as well.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- Did your mum like it?- Loved it. She wore it quite a lot.- I bet.
0:13:59 > 0:14:06Because these diamonds here are so tradable and these sapphires are in such good shape...
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- They'll take it apart? - They could easily do.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14What one would do with a ring like this is probably value it for scrap.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19It's an awful thing to say. You chose it for your mum,
0:14:19 > 0:14:24but the actual cold reality of putting this into an auction sale
0:14:24 > 0:14:29is what's it worth as if it was broken up?
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- But my value to you would be £300-£500.- Right.- How do you feel?
0:14:34 > 0:14:40- It wasn't as much as I expected. I'm not quite sure with the price. - That's fine.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45The value of everything going to auction, not including this ring,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49comes to £350.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Right. That's excluding that? - Absolutely.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56If we were to sell the ring, it's £650.
0:14:56 > 0:15:03- So it's really down to you.- It's difficult. Not having been to an auction, I'm sure it's fascinating.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Well, you'll find out!- Yeah!
0:15:08 > 0:15:13And some of the things Judy will definitely be taking along are...
0:15:13 > 0:15:18the 19th-century Windsor chair which her grandfather used to sit on
0:15:18 > 0:15:23in the family home in Macclesfield. Jonty really likes this.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26And there's the wooden, carved camphor wood chest,
0:15:26 > 0:15:31which Judy bought in Hong Kong while in the Merchant Navy.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35It's not an antique, hence the estimate of £50-£80.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40And I love that Japanese children's game with all the pieces to make a model village.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46It's only £10-£20, but you never know what might happen in the sale room.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54It's been a few weeks since we were down in Brighton with Judy.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58She was looking to raise £300-£500 towards a new gas fire.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04We found plenty of lovely items which have gone off to Chiswick Auction Rooms in West London.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Joining her there will be Jonty. I, unfortunately, can't make it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Judy decided in the end that the estimate for her mother's ring
0:16:13 > 0:16:18did not reflect the sentimental value so she's not selling it today,
0:16:18 > 0:16:23but she has plenty of other interesting pieces.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27The first of Judy's lots is the fascinating Japanese model village
0:16:27 > 0:16:32which her stepfather brought back after the war.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36It's really very unusual. Dealers love that. I've put £10-£20 on it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Let's see if we can get that. Here it comes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44£20 for it? £10 for it? £10 for it?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- £5 for it?- Come on. That's good.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49At £5. £5 bid. Take six.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Seven? Seven. Eight?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Going up one at a time.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Nine. Ten.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59At £9. The bid is £9. Take 10.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02£9. Going at £9. What's your number?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Sold. It's away.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Yeah.- Happy?- That's fine.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Considering some of the pieces inside were damaged,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15just under Jonty's lowest estimate is not bad.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Next up are Judy's Franklin Mint decorated eggs.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24They're limited edition and the value for the lot is £10-£20.
0:17:24 > 0:17:31- We've got 12 in all.- Yes. - When did you start collecting? - Quite a long time ago. 1980s.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Then I started collecting other things. They came a month at a time.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- They must have cost you quite a bit. - The valuation isn't half as much as I paid for them.- I'm sure.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Let's see if we can get as much as we possibly can. Ready?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50£10 for the lot? I'm bid at 10. 12.
0:17:50 > 0:17:5315? 15. 18. Bid's at £18.
0:17:53 > 0:17:5518. New bidder. Do you want 20?
0:17:55 > 0:18:00A new bidder at £18. Selling at 18. All done? £18.
0:18:00 > 0:18:07- Disappointed?- With the price, yeah. - I completely understand that, but that's the market for you.
0:18:07 > 0:18:13They did almost reach the upper end of Jonty's estimate, so not too bad for the eggs.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17A variety of commemorative coins are now going under the hammer.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21One's from 1953 to celebrate the Coronation
0:18:21 > 0:18:26and one's from the Silver Jubilee in 1977.
0:18:26 > 0:18:32There's also a £5 coin amongst this lot, too, with the overall estimate £10-£20.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Start me at £10, please. £10? The bid is 10.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Take 12. Give me 12. The bid's at £10.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- We're all right. £10 already. - 14. 16. 18. 20?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48At £18. Are we all done at 18?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50All done for £18. 164.
0:18:51 > 0:18:58Almost the top of the estimate. The bidders seem to like Judy's stuff.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I really enjoyed the Beswick horses. Mother and foal were Judy's mum's
0:19:02 > 0:19:07and the young horse on its own was a gift when Judy left the Army.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12Their estimate is £30-£50. Let's hope they do well for her.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Start me at £30? £30?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18£20. A bid of £20. 22. 25. 28.
0:19:18 > 0:19:2030. 32?
0:19:20 > 0:19:26At £30. Take two. At £30. 32. 35. 38.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- 35, listen.- Yeah, 40?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33£38. Going. All done? £38 and gone.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39That's good. The middle estimate for Judy and she's quite happy with that, too.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45The three carved Oriental hardwood trinket boxes are about to come up next.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Judy bought these in the '70s during her time as
0:19:47 > 0:19:51a switchboard operator in the Merchant Navy.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53£20? £10 for the three? £10?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56A bid at 10. 12. 14? 14.
0:19:56 > 0:19:5916. 18. Bid. 20.
0:19:59 > 0:20:0122? At £20.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- £20. We're in there. - At £20.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07At £20 and gone.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Her smile tells me she's pretty happy with that result.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It's taken her just past the halfway point.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21- How do you think we're faring? - I don't know. I'd probably be a bit disappointed.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- I'm not quite sure now. £100? - We're there or thereabouts.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28£103 to be precise.
0:20:28 > 0:20:35- OK?- Yeah.- We've got some great items - your jewellery that you are keeping in the sale.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37We're looking forward to that.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45If you'd like to have a go at selling at auction, remember commission is added to your bill.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50This charge varies, so it's always worth inquiring in advance.
0:20:50 > 0:20:56Now it's the large carved Chinese camphor wood chest, which Judy bought in the early '70s.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- Where did it come from again? - Hong Kong. I bought it there. I was onboard ship,
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- so I had plenty of space to bring it home.- And now in your hallway!- Yes!
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- I've got big dents in the carpet! - There's always a downside.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I put £50-£80 on it. Let's get this one away.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21£50 for it? £50? £30? I have a bid at £30. 32?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Take 32. At £30.
0:21:24 > 0:21:2632. 35. 38. 40. 42?
0:21:26 > 0:21:31- Received a bid of £40 so far. - We're stopping at £40.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34All done at £40? That's it at £40.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37£40.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43- I can't remember how much I paid for it now.- Yeah?- I think I paid about 50 for it.- Did you?
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- I think so.- You've got all those years' use out of it for a tenner!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52But a loss is a loss. We need to make some money.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Now onto something with quite a bit of age.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00A 19th-century Windsor chair that belonged to Judy's grandfather.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04In the middle of the room, he sat there all the time.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- We just got used to it being there. - No regrets about selling it?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11No, I don't use it, so it's fine.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16It's a lovely story. I understand why you want to sell it.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21It's a little bit reduced in height for me. If it had been slightly broader, taller,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25we would be talking quite a lot of money, but £60-£80.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Let's see if everyone agrees.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Jonty, it's a normal size chair! You're just extremely tall.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Start me at £50 for it.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37£40 for it? At £40. 42.
0:22:37 > 0:22:4045. 48. 50. 55.
0:22:40 > 0:22:4360. 5? 70. 5?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- At £70 bid. - That's fine. Absolutely fine.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- 90.- Even better!- 100.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52110?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56The bid is £100. Are you up for 110? At £100. Selling.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- £100 and going. At £100.- Great!
0:22:59 > 0:23:00£100!
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Are you pleased?- Yes.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08I'm not surprised. A very good result for our first real antique.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13Now to the first of Judy's jewellery lots. A 22-carat-gold wedding ring
0:23:13 > 0:23:20and a 9-carat-gold dress ring with a turquoise stone. Both of them belonged to her mother.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25- Will this be a sad moment for you? - Yes, in a way, but I don't wear them
0:23:25 > 0:23:29so maybe it will help me to buy my fire.
0:23:29 > 0:23:36- Well, this is what it's all about. Selling items you no longer need to buy things you do need.- Right.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Start me at £80, please. £80?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41No one? I'm bid £80. At £80.
0:23:41 > 0:23:4385? At £80.
0:23:43 > 0:23:4585? At £80.
0:23:45 > 0:23:4885 there. 90? 5. 100.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51110. 120. No?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53120 there. 130?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55At 120. 125?
0:23:55 > 0:24:01At 120. All done at 120? Going to sell at 120. It goes out the door.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- £120.- Very good. - Yes. Only very good?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Yes, you heard the lady, Jonty. What more do you want?
0:24:12 > 0:24:18Let's see with this next lot of gold. All 9-carat, including a bracelet, plus two rings,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22one of which is emeralds. Again they were her mother's
0:24:22 > 0:24:25and the estimate is £80-£120.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Start me at £50, please. A bid of £50.
0:24:28 > 0:24:3155. 60. 5.
0:24:31 > 0:24:3370. 5. 80. 5. 90.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- 5. 100. 110.- Great!
0:24:37 > 0:24:41120? £110. I'll take 120. £110.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44New bidder, 120. 130?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48No? At 120. The bid is 120. 130?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51120. 130. 140.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53You took your time.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57150 there. 160. 170.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59That's what I like to hear!
0:24:59 > 0:25:01170. 180?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05At 170. A bid of 170. 180, back in. 190?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09At 180. Saying no for definite? Selling at 180. And gone.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11180! Hey...
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- How about that?- Well done!
0:25:16 > 0:25:22That jewellery must have had a lot of sentimental value as they were her mum's,
0:25:22 > 0:25:27so I'm really pleased they sold well. Over to Jonty to see how much she's made.
0:25:27 > 0:25:34- We sold absolutely everything.- Yes. - So our total now - wait for this... - Yes?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- £543.- Really?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Really?- Absolutely. - I didn't believe that much!
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Oh, that's good.- How about that? Are you pleased?- Yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I think we've had a great day.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55A few weeks ago, Judy was desperate to replace her old gas fire.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01Now, with all that money she's raised, she's come to her local showroom
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- to choose a brand new one. - What sort of heat does it give out?
0:26:06 > 0:26:11I'd like to be more modern now and have one fitted in the wall. One that looks nice.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13It's lovely and warm.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Very interesting.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22I don't want the new, modern stones and things like that. I'd rather have the natural logs.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I think it looks more friendly.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31I'd never been to an auction, so that was interesting as well. Yeah, very fascinating.
