0:00:02 > 0:00:07This fantastic church may give you a clue where we are today. It's the largest church in Derbyshire.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Flog It! is in Chesterfield!

0:00:41 > 0:00:49The spire of the Church of St Mary & All Saints in Chesterfield stands 228 feet above ground level -

0:00:49 > 0:00:55but it leans nine feet and five inches off its true centre.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Absolutely incredible!

0:00:57 > 0:01:02When it was being constructed, they used unseasoned timber.

0:01:02 > 0:01:07That, combined with 32 tons of lead tile,

0:01:07 > 0:01:11has caused the spire to twist and turn as the wood is drying out.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15It IS incredible, and it has become an architectural landmark.

0:01:18 > 0:01:23And not far away is our venue for the valuations, the Winding Wheel Conference Centre.

0:01:23 > 0:01:28Today's aspiring experts are Nigel Smith and Charlie Ross.

0:01:35 > 0:01:40Trevor, you had a bit of a scoop with this, didn't you?

0:01:40 > 0:01:44- You bought this fairly recently. - Yes, about four years ago.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49- And you paid how much?- £18. - I wish I'd been there! I would've bought it before you.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53It's a piece of Grimwade's "Bairnsfather-ware".

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Obviously this was made by Grimwade's of Stoke-On-Trent.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01And these amusing prints appear on all manner of things -

0:02:01 > 0:02:05ashtrays, little dishes and so on, with these sepia prints on.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Let's turn it upside down, have a look at the marks on the bottom.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11There...

0:02:11 > 0:02:12"A souvenir of the Great War."

0:02:12 > 0:02:15So this would've been made after WWI,

0:02:15 > 0:02:19obviously, 1919, 1920, something like that.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23It's the biggest piece of Bairnsfather-ware that I've seen.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28I haven't seen one as big as that. I've seen the smaller plates.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33And they're always humorous. The British are great in the face of adversity, aren't they?

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- When you think of the tragedy of WWI...- Yeah.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41..still able to laugh at ourselves along the way.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46There's one here of a man juggling hand-grenades and smoking a pipe.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48That's gotta be dangerous!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50It says, "Keeping his hand in."

0:02:50 > 0:02:53This a couple of prints of that...

0:02:53 > 0:02:57then there's a chap...obviously from the bomb disposal squad,

0:02:57 > 0:03:00straddling this bomb.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02"Give it a good hard 'un, Bert -

0:03:02 > 0:03:08"you can generally hear 'em fizz before they explode." A great thing.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11The little frieze around the top is nice.

0:03:11 > 0:03:17Helmet... Mice attacking little tins of corned beef...

0:03:17 > 0:03:19It's in fairly good order, made of earthenware.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23A little of this enamel border is flaked.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Apart from that, I can't see a lot wrong with it. You got a bargain.

0:03:27 > 0:03:32- I knew I'd got a bargain, but... She wanted 24 for it originally, but I knocked her down.- Knocked her down!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- HE TUTS - Absolutely!- Hope she doesn't watch the programme!

0:03:35 > 0:03:40I reckon we could put that in at £100-£150, something like that.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Good, very good. I'd be happy with that!- What I would think,

0:03:43 > 0:03:48the thing to do is put it in with a reserve of £80.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- It's a good thing. - It's a nice piece, yeah.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Thanks for bringing it. And we'll see you at the auction.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Thank you very much!

0:04:04 > 0:04:11- June, hello.- Hello.- I've had a peep into this book. You have brought a blockbuster of a book to me today!

0:04:11 > 0:04:16What I know about it is that it was among quite a few other books...

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Yeah...?- ..that were bequeathed to the hospital.- The hospital here?

0:04:20 > 0:04:24The hospital - Netheredge, which is now closed. It's in Sheffield.

0:04:24 > 0:04:30And the officials at the hospital were going to burn these books

0:04:30 > 0:04:35after they'd had them so long - for a few weeks - because they didn't know what to do with them.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- How many books were there? - I would say...

0:04:38 > 0:04:41about...300 or more.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- And maps, old maps.- This is...

0:04:45 > 0:04:50"Snobson's Seasons - the Annals of Cockney Sports by RB Peake,

0:04:50 > 0:04:53"with 92 Illustrations by Seymour."

0:04:53 > 0:04:56And it's just full of the most wonderful sporting stories.

0:04:56 > 0:05:01and brilliant - brilliant! - colour illustrations

0:05:01 > 0:05:03in the brightest, brightest colours!

0:05:03 > 0:05:08I think this book, although it's a bit torn on the edge, has not been opened very often.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12I mean, a poor devil being ducked here...

0:05:12 > 0:05:14with this grotesque man,

0:05:14 > 0:05:19"You shoot my ducks and I duck you! Dip again, my lads!"

0:05:19 > 0:05:22And it's just very, very amusing,

0:05:22 > 0:05:26it's beautifully written... Have you ever read it?

0:05:26 > 0:05:30I haven't completely. I've sort of skipped through it.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Do you know how old it is? - I don't, no.- It's not dated at all.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39But this chap, Snobson, wrote a similar book...

0:05:39 > 0:05:42He was writing in 1820, 1830.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45So it's an old book. Blimey, it's nearly 200 years old.

0:05:45 > 0:05:51- Why do you want to sell it? - I think cos I have no room for it.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54I've had it about...oh, ten years.

0:05:54 > 0:06:00- I think we'll sell it without reserve, if you're happy.- Yes.- I'd expect it to make £50-£100.- Good.

0:06:00 > 0:06:06I'd be very disappointed if it didn't make £50. But we'll do what we can.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Thank you very much. It's given me huge amusement.- Thank YOU.

0:06:17 > 0:06:23Mary, you've brought Crown Derby! I said, "We're going to Chesterfield,

0:06:23 > 0:06:28"so I hope we see some Derby." You've come up trumps. Thank you very much.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Now, then, where did you get it?

0:06:30 > 0:06:36- What can you tell me about it? - We bought it when it was our 40th wedding anniversary

0:06:36 > 0:06:40- as a present to ourselves.- D'you mind me asking how long ago that was?

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Er...! No, wait a minute. We've been married 56 years... 16 years.

0:06:44 > 0:06:4716 years ago. It's a lovely piece,

0:06:47 > 0:06:49a dressing-table set.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54It's nice and complete. The little ring-tree, pin trays,

0:06:54 > 0:06:57pots for various ointments and powders,

0:06:57 > 0:07:02- And the tray to go on. Have you used it?- No, I've never used it, no.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04It would be expensive when it was made.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07And it should be a reasonably expensive thing now.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Turn it over...and if you look at the mark, "Royal Crown Derby, England,"

0:07:11 > 0:07:13and then we've got a date cipher.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17- That would date it into the 1880s, early 1890s.- Oh!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19They put the blue on first,

0:07:19 > 0:07:21onto this bone-china body,

0:07:21 > 0:07:24and then they put a transfer-print on with the red decoration,

0:07:24 > 0:07:28then the gilding goes on in a separate firing.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Quite an elaborate process to make this beautiful design.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36The overall inspiration for these patterns is Japanese porcelain.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40We often call these Japan patterns or Imari patterns. Dare I ask you...

0:07:40 > 0:07:43what you paid for it 16 years ago?

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- I think...not far off £1,000. - Really?

0:07:47 > 0:07:53- £1,000...yeah.- So I'm worried, you know, that it's not worth that now.

0:07:53 > 0:08:01- I can't see you getting £1,000 for it.- No.- I would've said £350-£450 is what you're gonna be looking at.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Possibly half of what you paid for it. The thing to do

0:08:04 > 0:08:09- is put it in with a reserve on. But you couldn't put it in with £1,000... - Oh, no, no, no.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14- So what would you say?- I think... I'm probably being conservative,

0:08:14 > 0:08:19but if we can say £350-£450...? Or maybe £400-£500 as an estimate...

0:08:19 > 0:08:26- Yeah.- ..and put a reserve on of £400.- Well, we've got to get rid of something.- The downsizing thing.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Declutter.- That's right.

0:08:29 > 0:08:36- So, you know... Yeah £400-£500.- Put a fixed reserve of £400? And I think it'll go on a bit more than that.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41- I think we'll sell it.- I do hope so. Thank you.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- You may get more than I'm anticipating. I hope I'm being very cautious.- Thank you very much.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Thank you.- Thanks for bringing it.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59- Now, a little bird has told me this doesn't belong to you.- No.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04- But it's in your hands.- My friend asked me to bring it in to see if it was worth anything, and sell it.

0:09:04 > 0:09:09- Right. You know who it's by? - Moorcroft.

0:09:09 > 0:09:14- Do you know anything about the patterns?- Pomegranate and berry.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Well done! And leaf-and-vine pattern.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21What I particularly like about this... By having a lidded object,

0:09:21 > 0:09:27we've got two of Moorcroft's designs in one piece. And that's unusual.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30As you say, we've got the pomegranate on top

0:09:30 > 0:09:32and the leaf-and-vine at the bottom.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36It's a trinket jar. I'm not expecting to open it and find any fitments.

0:09:36 > 0:09:41I am expecting it to be signed on the bottom, "W Moorcroft".. Here we are.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Moorcroft. Made in England.

0:09:43 > 0:09:49And this would've been made between 1910 and 1920.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54And...what we've got, really, with this plated rim round it,

0:09:54 > 0:09:59is... We're almost coming into the Art Deco period, the '20s, '30s,

0:09:59 > 0:10:04- in terms of design.- Is it silver plated?- The rim is. I can tell that

0:10:04 > 0:10:08- from here.- So the mark on the back isn't...?

0:10:08 > 0:10:14You can see where the base metal is coming through, so it's been well polished, well cleaned.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19- I thought that...- There is a little mark there. Um...

0:10:19 > 0:10:24It certainly isn't a hallmark. I think it could be a blemish.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28I think - without a glass - it COULD be a serial number.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32but is shouldn't worry, cos it's got a number on the pot anyway.

0:10:32 > 0:10:37We'll just open it up... Ooh, it's a bit stiff, isn't it?

0:10:37 > 0:10:42- I don't think it goes any further. - I think it should do, cos it'd restrict what you can put in.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45But I don't think we'll try.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49It's superbly made. The quality of the plate is fabulous.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53And it is, as far as I can see, in virtually perfect condition.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I think it's a really, really lovely object. So why is she selling it?

0:10:57 > 0:11:01- They just don't need it. They're not into antiques.- They're not?- No.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05Has she given you instructions? "If it is a certain value, it can be sold"?

0:11:05 > 0:11:10She said, "Above £200, I think we'll sell it."

0:11:10 > 0:11:16I think you're bang-on with regard to an estimate, £200-£300. I've got a feeling, as it's an unusual item,

0:11:16 > 0:11:22- we could well see a little bit of plus there. Reserve at £200 with discretion?- Mm-hmm.

0:11:22 > 0:11:28- Do you know what she has in mind? If you take her £200 or £300 home...? - Might go towards a holiday.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- A holiday. Could we get her along to the auction?- I don't think so.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37- Is she a recluse?- No - she just doesn't like cameras!

0:11:41 > 0:11:46The antiques have just kept on coming in today. Our experts have been spoiled for choice.

0:11:46 > 0:11:51So far, we have four great items to take off to the auction room.

0:11:51 > 0:11:56Trevor bought this Bairnsfather jardiniere four years ago for £18.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Nigel's predicting a good profit.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02June saved this book from the bonfire.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Its coloured illustrations will really light up the sale room.

0:12:06 > 0:12:12Mary Anne and her husband paid nearly £1,000 for their Royal Crown Derby.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15I'm not sure they'll get all their money back.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Finally, two patterns for one - a very rare piece of Moorcroft.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22It's fabulous quality and will sell well.

0:12:27 > 0:12:33For our auction, we've come to Bamfords in Matlock. It's one of my favourite auction rooms.

0:12:33 > 0:12:38On the rostrum, our good friend James Lewis. I wonder what he thinks of some of our valuations?

0:12:46 > 0:12:51You're recognise this. Lots of local interest. Crown Derby.

0:12:51 > 0:12:56- Nigel has put an estimate of £400-£500. Will it do it?- I mean...

0:12:56 > 0:13:00everything about this is great.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05It's a great factory, a good colour, good condition - it's all great...

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- apart from the estimate. - Why?- Well...

0:13:08 > 0:13:14- I sell more Royal Crown Derby than anyone else in the country.- Well, this is the place for it.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18I do an official valuation day AT Royal Crown Derby, seeing loads of it, every month.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20I've sold dozens of these.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24And there's one of these in the antiques centre, locally, £280.

0:13:24 > 0:13:31This, you look at each individual piece, and it's really £200-£300. that's what it's worth at auction.

0:13:31 > 0:13:37So what you're basically saying... I think what James is saying is that this is gonna struggle.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41If it sells, it will be fantastic, an amazing result for it.

0:13:41 > 0:13:47And I'm hoping it will but, you know... Really, on past performances, it's worth about...

0:13:47 > 0:13:52- You know your market, James. It's too much.- It's too much.

0:13:52 > 0:13:58We're gonna have to wait and find out. Don't go away - this'll be really interesting!

0:13:58 > 0:14:05I feel sorry for Nigel but, fingers crossed, let's just all work really hard, and hope they take it away.

0:14:14 > 0:14:20Something to put your pot plants in - a Grimwade's jardiniere, and it belongs to Trevor.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Early 1920s. Now, this could be a very good buy from Trevor.

0:14:24 > 0:14:29We've got £100-£150 valuation on it. You bought this four years ago.

0:14:29 > 0:14:35- 18 quid!- £18, yeah.- Well, that's a good buy, isn't it?!

0:14:35 > 0:14:39- You've got a keen eye, then. - I've always liked Grimwade's -

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Winton, as it is now. I love it.

0:14:42 > 0:14:47Were you happy with Nigel's valuation? Our expert, Nigel, put the value on. £100-£150.

0:14:47 > 0:14:52- Well, he's an expert, so yes. - Well, apparently(!) I was quite happy with that valuation -

0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm not so sure I'm happy now!

0:14:55 > 0:14:58The Grimwade's jardiniere, there it is,

0:14:58 > 0:15:02with the Bairnsfather sketches and cartoons.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Two bids on it, and I can start it at £85.

0:15:07 > 0:15:1090 do I see? 90 in the room first.

0:15:10 > 0:15:1290 and five...? And five. 100...

0:15:12 > 0:15:15110, 120...shakes his head at £120.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18£130, standing.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Oh, they like this. It's great, isn't it? Come on.

0:15:21 > 0:15:26£140...? £140 on the phone.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27150...160...

0:15:27 > 0:15:30160 on the phone, 170.

0:15:30 > 0:15:31180...?

0:15:31 > 0:15:32No?

0:15:32 > 0:15:35At £170, bid on the phone...

0:15:38 > 0:15:43- Sold for £170. - I'm chuffed with that.- I bet!

0:15:43 > 0:15:45£18 investment!

0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Whoo!- I'm gonna buy some more. - Are you really?

0:15:48 > 0:15:53- Do you have an eye for antiques? - I just love the day out.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Where do you buy all this stuff, all this "cheap gear"?

0:15:57 > 0:15:58Exactly!

0:16:07 > 0:16:14This is a lovely lot, a calf-bound book full of sporting illustrations and stories, and it belongs to June.

0:16:14 > 0:16:19- Not for much longer!- No - I hope! - It's absolutely charming.

0:16:19 > 0:16:24Not a lot of money, £50. Hopefully, we'll get that top end of £100.

0:16:24 > 0:16:29- That'll buy a fence panel, won't it, for my garden?- Is that where the money's going? Fence panels!

0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Has the fence started to rot away, then?- Yes.- Aw!

0:16:33 > 0:16:40- Now, this was one of how many books - 300?- Yes. I didn't have the full 300.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42But there were about 300 in all.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47The illustrations are splendid, beautifully coloured. We read a bit of the book.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51It's written in the most extraordinary, satirical way.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56But you're right, it isn't particularly valuable, and the condition isn't great.

0:16:56 > 0:17:02- But if it makes £40, £50, we'll be happy. Especially if it was going in a skip!- Exactly.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06A classic bit of recycling! It's going under the hammer now, June.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Leather-bound, nice book.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Has some fantastic illustrations in it.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Who'll give me £50 for it? 50...?

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Anyone want it at 50?

0:17:15 > 0:17:19£50 taken. £50 - and five do I see?

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Five anywhere? Is that it? At £50...

0:17:23 > 0:17:25A single bid at £50...

0:17:26 > 0:17:29You got £50, so that's really good.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Lovely.- Straight in, straight out. - Yes.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46Really the Crown Derby? A bit of local interest. It belongs to Mary,

0:17:46 > 0:17:50- who's looking absolutely wonderfully colourful and beautiful.- Thank you!

0:17:50 > 0:17:55You were so nervous. It's her first auction. We'll look after you on Flog It!

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Now, you've got £400-£500 on this.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02I had a chat to our auctioneer, James Lewis, Nigel.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05James said he thinks it's slightly over-valued.

0:18:05 > 0:18:12He walked up to the local antiques centre and saw two complete sets, identical, for £200-£300.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Oh, dear.- We might just struggle.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20- There's a lot of it around. - Well, there's a lot around. But it's quality.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22It is, isn't it? It's quality.

0:18:22 > 0:18:28- If this makes £400, we'll nip down the antiques centre and buy the other two, shall we?- I think we're ALL mad!

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Good luck. Here we go.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Royal Crown Derby. In lovely condition.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Lots of it - the pots, the covers, the ring-stand AND the tray.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Let's see a bid of £400, please.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42£400...?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44£300, then? Do I see three?

0:18:44 > 0:18:47300 I have. £320 do I see?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50At £300 and 20 is it? 320...?

0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's with me at £300.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Let's see £320. Nope? No bids.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Nope, that's not sold.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59No, there's a bit too much around.

0:18:59 > 0:19:05It doesn't help that there's two identical dressing-table sets literally 50 metres up the road

0:19:05 > 0:19:06- in the local antiques centre.- Yeah.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10- You can but try.- Yes. Thank you very much.- A bit over-ambitious.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14I'm not SO concerned, actually, cos I like it.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19- I think it's beautiful.- I'll take it home.- And look after it - and have wonderful memories of Flog It!

0:19:19 > 0:19:26We're always banging on that if you want to invest in antiques, buy quality - a good maker's name -

0:19:26 > 0:19:29AND good condition. This lot has got the lot.

0:19:29 > 0:19:35But you've gotta be here to buy it. It belongs to Winona. A Moorcroft pomegranate-pattern lidded pot.

0:19:35 > 0:19:40- Absolutely stunning.- Gorgeous. - Charlie's put the value on it. £200-£300. It should do well.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45It's a shame it's got the silver-plate ringing and not pewter,

0:19:45 > 0:19:50- cos the Arts & Crafts enthusiasts really like it with the pewter. - Bizarre, really. You'd think that...

0:19:50 > 0:19:55- being silver-plate, it was more valuable, better quality.- Yes! - But it's an Arts & Crafts...thing.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Lot 230 is...

0:19:57 > 0:20:03the Moorcroft pomegranate and berries trinket box and cover.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06A nice lot indeed, this one. very unusual.

0:20:06 > 0:20:12I can start the bidding at the lower end of the estimate, at £200... 200.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15£210 do I see? At £200 and ten is it?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17210 in the room here. 210...

0:20:17 > 0:20:20£220, 240 for you...? 240,

0:20:20 > 0:20:22260. 280?

0:20:22 > 0:20:26280, 300...320?

0:20:26 > 0:20:28320. 340?

0:20:28 > 0:20:29340...360...380?

0:20:29 > 0:20:31380,

0:20:31 > 0:20:34390, 400. 400 has it.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36420 do I see...? At £400 here.

0:20:36 > 0:20:41Against the Internet, against the absentee bid... Are we all sure?

0:20:41 > 0:20:42(Yes!)

0:20:42 > 0:20:44The hammer's gone down. Winona...

0:20:44 > 0:20:48- I know!- £400!- Thank you very much! - Fantastic!

0:20:48 > 0:20:51What are you gonna put £400 towards?

0:20:51 > 0:20:55It belongs to a friend, actually. It's going to a holiday fund.

0:20:55 > 0:21:00- A holiday fund?- Where are they going?- Why couldn't they be here today?- Didn't want to be on camera.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Aw!- Left it up to me.

0:21:02 > 0:21:09- That was a cracking item.- Mmm. Internet bidding, commission bidding. And one in the room, which is nice.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Just goes to show - quality always sells.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25The great thing about Flog It

0:21:25 > 0:21:29is that I get to go out and about all over the British Isles.

0:21:29 > 0:21:35I love the countryside, I'm an outdoor person at heart. And walking keeps you fit and healthy.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39And looking at all the different regional scenery is so inspiring.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43I'm in Castleton in the Peak District. You'll have to agree,

0:21:43 > 0:21:48looking at that as a backdrop - well, that is just dramatically so beautiful.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01The Peak District was the first National Park to be established,

0:22:01 > 0:22:03way back in 1951.

0:22:03 > 0:22:08At its heart is the village of Castleton, nestled in the idyllic Hope Valley.

0:22:10 > 0:22:15And to tell me more about the history of this area,

0:22:15 > 0:22:18I've met with National Park Officer Bill Bevan.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20So where our first port of call?

0:22:20 > 0:22:26- Just here. St Edmund's Church. - Quite a good call! I think we should go in and say a prayer -

0:22:26 > 0:22:28and hopefully, get the rain to stop!

0:22:28 > 0:22:30THEY CHUCKLE

0:22:34 > 0:22:39It feels like there's centuries of history in the church. When was it built?

0:22:39 > 0:22:46- It was originally built by the Normans, so that's about 1,000 years ago.- This IS a Norman arch,

0:22:46 > 0:22:51- isn't it?- It is, and it's actually the only Norman bit of the church that's survived.

0:22:51 > 0:22:56- It's got the wide...- Yeah, nice and soft, and quite low.- That's right.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58I love some of the carving here! You've got a date, here.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01It says 1663...

0:23:01 > 0:23:04"Robert Hall." Who was he? Do we know?

0:23:04 > 0:23:09The Halls were a well-known family of the 17th C in Castleton.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11You're see a lot of the names on the pews.

0:23:11 > 0:23:17As an archaeologist, I'm actually very interested in the history of the town as it's evolved over time.

0:23:17 > 0:23:22The Normans created a planned market town here after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27They gave it the name Castleton after the castle they built. But that wasn't the original village.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31The original was Anglo-Saxon, and it was then called The Peak's Arse.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34- The Peak's Arse?!- I'm afraid so. - Why was it called that?

0:23:34 > 0:23:40It was named after the cavern, Peak Cavern, which is just behind the village.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44That's where the water supply for the village comes from.

0:23:44 > 0:23:50Supposedly, when the wind's in the right direction, strange rumbling noises come out of the cavern.

0:23:50 > 0:23:51Hence the name.

0:23:51 > 0:23:57And we know that it was called that because it's written down in the Domesday Book as Peak's Arse.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01So there you go, it IS official! What a lovely story!

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Shall we go up to the castle? - Let's do that.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15Phew! We're nearly there. I tell you what - it keeps you fit!

0:24:15 > 0:24:18My word! Once you're up here, at the very top, that view!

0:24:18 > 0:24:22Even on a day like today, it looks superb.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Gosh! That really is atmospheric, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Point out some of the peaks and the hills.- Over this side,

0:24:29 > 0:24:35we have the Millstone Grit side of the valley. The large one, that's Lose Hill.

0:24:35 > 0:24:40- That's part of a pair, Lose Hill and Win Hill.- What, "win or lose"?- That's exactly right!

0:24:40 > 0:24:45Over 1,00 years ago, there was supposedly a battle here between the Northumbrians and Mercians.

0:24:45 > 0:24:50The Mercians camped under one hill, the Northumbrians under the other.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54- Lose Hill is where the Mercians were. - The Northumbrians won.- They did.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57- What's the next one along?- Back Tor.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Then we have the ridge along to Man Tor, ahead of us.- That's big.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05That's the biggest one in the area. A well-known hill.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09It has a prehistoric hill-fort right on top of it, built over 3,000 years ago.

0:25:09 > 0:25:14- Wow.- So that pre-dates the castle down here...- Exactly.- ..by 2,000 years.

0:25:14 > 0:25:20And this a Roman fort further down the valley. This really was a valley of forts in ancient times.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23It's a great location for a fortress! What a stronghold!

0:25:23 > 0:25:29- Imagine trying to storm it by climbing up there! that is a sheer drop, that walk.- That is.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33- I mean - how long it's taken us to get up here...- Yeah.- And on the other two sides,

0:25:33 > 0:25:39It's completely cut off from the valley side by fissures. So you can't actually walk on to the castle.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44You have to go over by a bridge or climb up the slope. If you're a new Norman lord - unpopular in the area -

0:25:44 > 0:25:47you want the safest spot to build your castle.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53The castle was built by William Peveril, a son of William the Conqueror,

0:25:53 > 0:25:57in 1086, and so became Peveril Castle.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01And from this stronghold, the Peverils controlled the land

0:26:01 > 0:26:04and collected the taxes for the king.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12We're now right at the very top.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16There really is no shelter, we're exposed to the elements.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19- The keep - was that built by William Peveril as well?- This wasn't.

0:26:19 > 0:26:24This was actually built at the end of the 12th C, when they changed the castle from a wooden fortification -

0:26:24 > 0:26:28originally built by Peveril, into the stone castle you see today.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30in 1400, this became a prison.

0:26:30 > 0:26:37It had been the home of the Peveril family until then. They didn't need such a fortification to live in,

0:26:37 > 0:26:43- by then - they lived elsewhere - so this was turned into a prison for the local criminals.- I've got to say,

0:26:43 > 0:26:48looking around... Well, this is your office, isn't it? I'm very envious of you. Look at what you've got

0:26:48 > 0:26:50to work in every day! Look at that!

0:26:50 > 0:26:56I tell myself every day never to take it for granted. I'm very glad I'm helping tell visitors

0:26:56 > 0:27:01- about the heritage of the area, and encourage 'em to discover more.- Yep, rain or shine, it looks brilliant!

0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Thanks VERY much for giving us the tour.- My pleasure!- Mine as well!

0:27:08 > 0:27:13Back at the Winding Wheel, there's no chance of the weather spoiling our day.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Inside in the warm, Nigel and Charlie are hard at it.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23- Betty.- That's right.- From Sheffield. - Yes.- This doesn't come from Sheffield, though.- Nope!

0:27:23 > 0:27:28- You tell me about it first.- It's just that a friend was moving house.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- And she gave it to us.- Really?- Yes.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36- She obviously didn't know what she was giving away.- I think she probably did.- Did she? Very generous.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40- This is the sort of thing that's made where I come from. - Oh, right.- "Oop north!"

0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Oop north!- We sell a lot of these pieces.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47This is a piece of "Mousey Thompson", as we call it

0:27:47 > 0:27:53- because of the mouse motif. The Robert Thompson firm started, really as church furnishers.- Right.

0:27:53 > 0:28:00They started way back in the '20s, I think. My local parish church is full of Mousey Thompson furniture.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04- The children, every year, go round and count the mice in the church.- Oh!

0:28:04 > 0:28:10Lots of churches and public buildings you got to in North Yorkshire are full of this type of furniture.

0:28:10 > 0:28:14They made all sorts of small novelty items later on, really.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18They made breadboards, cheese-boards, book racks, candlesticks,

0:28:18 > 0:28:23all sort of little things like that, which are very collectable now. The very early things in Mousey Thompson

0:28:23 > 0:28:27can make a lot of money. This, I suspect, isn't that old.

0:28:27 > 0:28:34- I would guess 20, maybe 30 years maximum.- Oak, I think. - Made of nice, light oak.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Yes.- The great thing is the little mouse motif.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42- That's the signature of the factory, really.- I don't like mice.- You don't?

0:28:43 > 0:28:47Value-wise... Well, what do you think? Would you take £50 for it?

0:28:47 > 0:28:49- No.- £30?- No.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51- I think it's gonna make 100-150.- Yes.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55That's more like it. More like it.

0:28:55 > 0:29:01- Do you require a fixed reserve?- Yes, please. £100.- You're not gonna budge from 100?- No.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05We'll give it a go. I think it should fetch that quite comfortably.

0:29:05 > 0:29:11I know if it was sold in my part of the world, it would easily make that. What are you gonna do with the cash?

0:29:11 > 0:29:17- I shall probably take the friend who handed it down, we'll go for a meal. - So the friend that gave it to you,

0:29:17 > 0:29:20- you're gonna treat them.- Yes.- That's a lovely idea! What a nice idea.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23We'll go out and have a Yorkshire carvery, I think.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Barbara, what a BLAZE of colour!

0:29:34 > 0:29:38Seldom have I seen so many toys that haven't been played with!

0:29:38 > 0:29:42It's a real treat. I have to say, at this stage, you've got a boxful.

0:29:42 > 0:29:48- And although these are the better ones, we've got others we couldn't get on camera, haven't we?- We have.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Where did they come from? - They're my husband's.

0:29:52 > 0:29:58They've been stored away for a lot of years, very rarely saw daylight.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01So they've not really been played with.

0:30:01 > 0:30:09But my husband is quite ill. And the grandchildren don't particularly want them. So...

0:30:09 > 0:30:13We have talked about selling them for a number of years, on and off,

0:30:13 > 0:30:15we've been through the process.

0:30:15 > 0:30:21But thank goodness people haven't played with them. Virtually all of these here have their boxes.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25A collector will go wild when he sees this lot,

0:30:25 > 0:30:30because invariably they're chipped and bashed, or haven't got boxes,

0:30:30 > 0:30:31or the boxes are torn.

0:30:31 > 0:30:36Even the boxes are in good condition! It really is an example of how to keep a collection.

0:30:36 > 0:30:42- They've been stored in a big case. - Marvellous. And they're early.

0:30:42 > 0:30:46- These toys are 1950s. - Yes.- Excellent, again.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50My husband would've been collecting them since he was roughly 10 or 11,

0:30:50 > 0:30:54- if they were '50s.- So he bought them new?- He'd have bought them new.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57T are are one or two here... I LOVE...

0:30:57 > 0:30:59this Slumberland lorry.

0:30:59 > 0:31:04It's very easy to remove a transfer from these, easy to scratch them.

0:31:04 > 0:31:10- And this is complete. "Slumberland... by appointment to the KING."- Yes.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14That's quite interesting. The other thing I like here is the AA man.

0:31:14 > 0:31:20- You don't see those on the roads any more!- They used to salute you as you drove past.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24Did they? My father was a member of the AA. However, I'm not sure he paid his subs.

0:31:24 > 0:31:29I think he probably got a badge from somebody and put it on the car.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33- But it was always that.- Yes, it was. - Yeah... A nice tanker here, too.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35The colours are great, aren't they?

0:31:35 > 0:31:41- And a nice, thick gauge. They really made them well!- Solid.- Once you get into the '60s and '70s,

0:31:41 > 0:31:46the gauge of metal is much thinner, plastic windows - there's more to damage. Funnily enough,

0:31:46 > 0:31:50the ones that are more intricate, the diggers,

0:31:50 > 0:31:54probably don't have the value of the lorries.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58The Boden flat-back lorries are valuable and collectable,

0:31:58 > 0:32:02- and so is the tanker. - Yes.- I'm gonna suggest

0:32:02 > 0:32:07- that, assuming you're prepared to sell them...- Yes.- ..that we sell them as one collection.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10- I think that would be a good idea. - I- think that would be a good idea.

0:32:10 > 0:32:15- The sensible saleroom estimate would be £400-£600.- Yes.- Yup.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18- That's probably about what you were expecting?- I think it is.

0:32:18 > 0:32:23- There wasn't that, "Ahhh!" look on your face.- No. £400-£500, we thought.

0:32:23 > 0:32:27And I think that's a tempting estimate. And I'd like to think

0:32:27 > 0:32:32we might steam on a bit. We might even produce one of those golden Flog It! moments.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36- Oh, yes - we see those, don't we? - We do. Thank you, Barbara, very much indeed

0:32:36 > 0:32:39for favouring us with your collection.

0:32:39 > 0:32:44It's one of the best Flog It! collections I've seen in Dinky Toys,

0:32:44 > 0:32:47- particularly the condition. Marvellous.- Thank you.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58John, what a magnificent figure.

0:32:58 > 0:33:02- It is beautiful, isn't it?- You remember this from an early age?- Yes.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06I remember it from when I was about six or seven.

0:33:06 > 0:33:10It used to stand on top of a piano on the upstairs landing of our house.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Every time I went upstairs, I used to stop and look at it

0:33:13 > 0:33:18- and admire the fine work. - You weren't allowed to touch it? - Oh, no! No, no.

0:33:18 > 0:33:23- Where was your house?- In Martham in Norfolk. A nice house, it was.

0:33:23 > 0:33:29But now I live in a rather cluttered little flat, and I'm afraid I haven't room to show it.

0:33:29 > 0:33:34- Did it come down the family?- I really don't know. My mum and dad had it.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38I THINK she might have inherited it from her father, but I'm not sure.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42But it's certainly 55 years old that I know of.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46Yes - a bit older still. It's a nice thing.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49- It's made of hard-paste porcelain. It's quite heavy, isn't it?- Yes.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53Quite a lump! We describe these things as being "in the white".

0:33:53 > 0:33:57Normally, a figure like this would've been coloured, either "on the biscuit",

0:33:57 > 0:34:00- or glazed with enamels.- Oh!

0:34:00 > 0:34:03But this is in the white. I think it's more elegant for that.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05The condition is fairly good!

0:34:05 > 0:34:09There's one tiny little nick on the base.

0:34:09 > 0:34:13And just a tiny flake on the front. Apart from that, it's all there.

0:34:13 > 0:34:18- Mm-hmm.- You've got these lovely applied little flowers - hand-made, the little petals -

0:34:18 > 0:34:21all encrusted on. And she's standing elegantly on this base

0:34:21 > 0:34:24with more flowers at the bottom.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27- And very nice shoes.- I suppose the style of her dress would be...

0:34:27 > 0:34:32mid-18 C. The figure's not that old. We'll turn it upside down,

0:34:32 > 0:34:35have a look at the base. There's a mark.

0:34:35 > 0:34:41That's a crossed-swords mark with a little star on the top of it.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44That's a Meissen mark... for the Dresden factory.

0:34:44 > 0:34:48As a Flog It! fan, I had thought that, but...

0:34:48 > 0:34:52And the little dot normally means that it's a period...early 19th C.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54It was called the "Marcolini period"

0:34:54 > 0:34:58of the Meissen factory. So we're looking round about 1800, 1810.

0:34:58 > 0:35:04- Having said that, I think this is a little bit later, and I'm not sure it's Meissen.- Oh.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08For that reason, I'll be a little bit more conservative on value.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12- I would suggest, probably, an estimate of £200, maybe £300.- Mm-hm.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Would you be happy with that sort of figure?- Yes. That would be OK.

0:35:15 > 0:35:22- What are you gonna do with £200-£300? - My partner Sue and I, we both love Scotland,

0:35:22 > 0:35:26and she's said several times she'd like to go to Shetland,

0:35:26 > 0:35:32- so if we got that...- You'll send her?- I'll go with her! It'll pay for the overnight ferry from Aberdeen,

0:35:32 > 0:35:38- which would be nice.- Well, we'll put it in the sale. We're gonna put a reserve on it, aren't we?

0:35:38 > 0:35:43- Er, yes, I think perhaps 180? - I think 180 as fixed. That's fair.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45- We'll do our best for you.- Thank you!

0:35:46 > 0:35:49What a day we've had in Chesterfield!

0:35:49 > 0:35:54We haven't stopped once. Our final three lots are just about to go off to auction -

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Betty's Mousey Thompson bookshelf,

0:35:56 > 0:36:00John's porcelain figure in the white

0:36:00 > 0:36:03and Barbara's husband's collection of Dinky Toys

0:36:03 > 0:36:07which I'm sure will get the bidders very excited.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13In every auction room, your gonna find a storeroom.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17I James Lewis' case, it's upstairs in this converted cinema.

0:36:17 > 0:36:22It's full of treasures ready for the next sale, a fine-art sale in six weeks.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25It's in storage and ready to be catalogued.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29And something has caught my eye. Well - it smacked me in the face!

0:36:29 > 0:36:32You cannot miss this WWI propeller.

0:36:32 > 0:36:36It says DEH which, I'm pretty sure, is "de Havilland."

0:36:36 > 0:36:39And it's a left-hand prop.

0:36:39 > 0:36:43That is some propeller! It's made of Cuban mahogany.

0:36:43 > 0:36:49And it's made of laminate. You can see all the sections laminated together.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52Most propellers from WWI...

0:36:52 > 0:36:56will always have the blades of the propeller tipped...with a canvas.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58It's literally stretched and glued on.

0:36:58 > 0:37:02This will stop the end-grain of the wood from splitting open.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05This is really nice. It's actually got its own maker's label.

0:37:05 > 0:37:09Maple & Co of London, 1917.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13It's a very sculptural piece - you need a BIG wall to put it on.

0:37:13 > 0:37:17But you can imagine a big, white wall with it stuck in the middle - what a display!

0:37:25 > 0:37:29Our next item is about to go under the hammer. It belongs to John.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Hi, John.- Hi.- It's a late 19th C porcelain figure in hard-paste.

0:37:33 > 0:37:40Will it prove HARD to sell at £200-£300? A bit of pressure on Nigel, our expert who valued it!

0:37:40 > 0:37:42John, we know you need the money.

0:37:42 > 0:37:46He's just been made redundant. Can you guess what John did for a living?

0:37:46 > 0:37:50The little badge on his lapel will give you a clue. Take a look.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52It is a lighthouse!

0:37:52 > 0:37:56- So you're a lighthouse keeper! - I was, yes. For 20 years.

0:37:56 > 0:38:03- Gosh! is that a solitary life? - It is, but I enjoyed it. I liked being far from the maddening crowd!

0:38:03 > 0:38:09- The further out to sea, the better. - Well, we're in a madding crowd here! - We might be out to sea as well!

0:38:09 > 0:38:13Nigel, we need top money for this.

0:38:13 > 0:38:18Hmm, it's a difficult market at the moment. I think it's more commercial in today's market cos it IS white.

0:38:18 > 0:38:22Years ago, people would've preferred a coloured, fancier design.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Because it's white, we might stand a chance.- Gd1- Tope end - he says good!

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Er...it should sell. But I don't think it's gonna run away.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33The Continental figure glazed in white, late 19th C.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Good, big decorative figure!

0:38:36 > 0:38:40We've got one...two...three bids, all very close together.

0:38:40 > 0:38:45- £180 bid.- That's the reserve.- 190?

0:38:45 > 0:38:47At 180 I can just let it go. At 180.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49Do I see 190? Selling...

0:38:49 > 0:38:51at 180, the commission bid.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Anyone in the room? At 180,

0:38:53 > 0:38:55letting it go...

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Hammer's gone down. Short and sweet.

0:38:58 > 0:39:02- 180...- Hmm.- Blink and you'll miss it, that was so quick!

0:39:02 > 0:39:06That's all I can say. We got it away, John, that's the good news...

0:39:06 > 0:39:11- I was hoping for a bit more than that.- I think we all were.

0:39:11 > 0:39:16- Nigel was. So was I.- I think it's suffered cos there's been no pictures on the Internet.

0:39:16 > 0:39:22None of the lots have been on the Web. So people perhaps didn't know it was there.

0:39:22 > 0:39:27There's a lot of people here, but it's a case of if they want to buy 19th C porcelain, isn't it?

0:39:33 > 0:39:38We've got some Robert "Mousey" Thompson going under the hammer right now! It belongs to Betty.

0:39:38 > 0:39:43- Not for much longer. It was valued by our Yorkshireman. A bit of local interest for you!- I see lots of it.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47- I love it.- We've got £100-£150 on it.

0:39:47 > 0:39:52- It's so tactile!- I know - I've got quite attached to it while I've been stood in line with it!- Aww!

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Well, it's going under the hammer right now! This is it!

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Mousey Thompson, a great little lot, this one!

0:39:58 > 0:40:04A good investment, mouse-man, always has been. one, two, three bids,

0:40:04 > 0:40:09- all very, very close together.- Three bids on the book!- £75 - not enough.

0:40:09 > 0:40:13I've got a bid of £95 and a bid of £100. 110 do I see?

0:40:13 > 0:40:14110? At £100.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16110? At 110.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18£120?

0:40:18 > 0:40:22At £110. On commission, at £110...

0:40:23 > 0:40:28- Pow - hammer's gone down.- Well, there you go.- That's all right!- We sold it.

0:40:28 > 0:40:33- The lower end, but we sold it. - That's fine. Somebody will use it, won't they, and enjoy it.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37- She's right. A very good investment. They're very collectable.- They are. - Nigel's thinking...

0:40:37 > 0:40:42- I can see that one going north! - Going back home!- Yeah.

0:40:47 > 0:40:52This is the one I've been waiting for. We've seen 'em with splendid results on Flog It! before,

0:40:52 > 0:40:56- Dinky Toys. We've been joined by Barbara and...?- Daniel.- Hello!

0:40:56 > 0:41:02So it's a proper family day out. D'you realise Gran is flogging your inheritance?

0:41:02 > 0:41:04Lots of Dinky Cars here.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08It's the lorries that are collectable, really collectable.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10We've got a valuation of £400-£600.

0:41:10 > 0:41:15We've seen the lorries sell for well over £800 before, so...

0:41:15 > 0:41:19- If I can make the lower estimate, I shall be happy.- If we make £400,

0:41:19 > 0:41:20you'll be happy?

0:41:20 > 0:41:25- I take it you've got lots of grandchildren?- Five.- So you can't divide the cars up anyway.- No.

0:41:25 > 0:41:31So whatever they make, the money's going to be divided between the grandchildren.

0:41:31 > 0:41:35- They're going to buy something so they can remember Granddad. - Something to remember Granddad by.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38Isn't Grandma a lovely granny?!

0:41:38 > 0:41:42- That's what grannies are all about, isn't it?- Granny's brought a bonus.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46She's found some tyres, two boxes of tyres in mint condition.

0:41:46 > 0:41:51- She's gonna give them to the buyer. - Yeah, a bit of a bonus.- So if they get a puncture...- They'll be fine.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54They can have 24 punctures. There's two boxes!

0:41:54 > 0:41:59A very large - and a very good - collection of Dinkys, some boxed.

0:41:59 > 0:42:01And there is loads of interest.

0:42:01 > 0:42:05- And, hopefully, a few bids in the room.- The lowest bid...

0:42:05 > 0:42:08- is 650.- Ooh!- Straight in!

0:42:08 > 0:42:10700, 750,

0:42:10 > 0:42:12800, 850...

0:42:12 > 0:42:15900 starts it.

0:42:15 > 0:42:16950 do I see?

0:42:16 > 0:42:18950 in the room.

0:42:18 > 0:42:191,000.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21And 50.

0:42:21 > 0:42:241,100, 1,150...1,200

0:42:24 > 0:42:25and 50.

0:42:25 > 0:42:261,300...and 50?

0:42:26 > 0:42:29At £1,300.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32On the book at £1,300.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34£1,350 do I see? At 1,300...

0:42:34 > 0:42:35One more?

0:42:35 > 0:42:37Go on...! £1,350.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40At £1,350... 40? No.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43- You've... - LAUGHTER - You've got 'em.

0:42:43 > 0:42:47At 1,350. It always pays to have another go. At 1,350...

0:42:47 > 0:42:51Anybody else? £1,350.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Yes!- Yay! The hammer's down, Daniel!

0:42:54 > 0:42:57£1,350.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59How fantastic is that?

0:42:59 > 0:43:04That was wonderful, wasn't it, Daniel? First Flog It! experience and first auction experience.

0:43:04 > 0:43:10- Well, thank you so much.- Thank you! - What a fantastic day we've had in Matlock enjoying our sale.

0:43:10 > 0:43:17- I hope you've enjoyed the show. Join us for plenty of surprises next time on Flog It!- Thank you very much!
