0:00:38 > 0:00:43Belfast has many claims to fame. John Dunlop invented the first
0:00:43 > 0:00:44pneumatic tyre.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Harry Ferguson revolutionised farming by developing the modern tractor.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53And the Royal Victoria Hospital was the very first building in the world
0:00:53 > 0:00:55to be fitted with air conditioning.
0:01:01 > 0:01:08Hoping to raise the temperature are our experts, Anita Manning and David Barby.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15Anita's found something that will definitely get the ladies hot under the collar.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21- Maureen, wasn't George Best a great-looking guy?- Oh, yes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26An interesting lot, this is.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32- Here I am in Belfast with Belfast's best boy.- Best boy.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Tell me, where did you get it?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39My husband bought me the LP and then...
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Did he want you to shape up and dance?- Yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46As you can see, it didn't do me any good.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Oh, you're absolutely fine.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52So, tell me where you got this signature.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56He lives across the street from my mother's house. I knew his parents,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00knew his sisters and his brothers, most of all him, as well, you know.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03You're obviously a lot younger than George Best.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07I'm more on to the ages of Julie and Grace, his sisters.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Now, did he play football with the kids about the street and so on?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14He did and he taught all the kids in the street.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And he taught all the kids? Was he a nice guy?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Oh, yes, very down to earth.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23But very, very shy, in a way, too, you know - he was a shy boy.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- He was very good looking. - Blue-eyed beauty.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Yeah, yeah. Did he have a lot of girls running after him?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Yeah, yeah, a lot. Especially models.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So what we have here is a very simple thing.
0:02:36 > 0:02:43It's a Shape Up & Dance record and this sort of stuff was very popular in the '70s
0:02:43 > 0:02:47with our darling George Best there and a glamorous girl by the side.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49That was one of his girlfriends.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53That was one of his girlfriends and they're shaping up and dancing there.
0:02:53 > 0:03:01Well, Maureen, very difficult to estimate accurately an item like this.
0:03:01 > 0:03:08Because it's a record rather than a football shirt or a piece of football memorabilia,
0:03:08 > 0:03:15it's not as valuable as one of those items would be, but it's still of tremendous interest.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Now, we're selling it in Belfast,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22so this is the best place to sell it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27And the fact that he is recently deceased will make it
0:03:27 > 0:03:31even more interesting.
0:03:31 > 0:03:38But I'm going to put £40 to £60. Would you be happy, Maureen, with selling it at that price?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41At the highest, at the highest.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45At the highest price. Well, Maureen, we're looking for the highest price,
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- but what we're doing by estimating it low is to encourage...- Encourage...
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Encourage the bidding.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55If we put it too high it can put people off, but I would still like
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- to put it in about 40 to 60, but only if you are happy.- Yeah.
0:03:59 > 0:04:06We can put a reserve price on it and we tend to put the reserve price towards the lower estimate.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Right. Yes, that's fine.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Are you happy with that?- Yes.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14It find its own level and hopefully go beyond the top estimate.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- He's a good Belfast boy. - He was a bad Belfast boy,
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- but he was absolutely wonderful. - He was.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Ann, I always find paperweights fascinating.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38It's almost like looking at one of those soothsayer's crystal balls, isn't it?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41This is lovely. Where did it come from?
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Er, it came from my Auntie Peggy. She gave it to me about 1965.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Do you know where she got it from?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Well, she was a headmistress of an all-girls boarding school in Letchworth,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55although originally from Ireland,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59and her pupils came from all over the world and one pupil
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- gave this to her.- Well, it's a very lovely piece.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08And it was on her desk and I admired it and she said, "You can have it, Ann."
0:05:08 > 0:05:10What age were you then?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Oh, I was still at school,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I must have been about eight.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16There's a lovely history behind paperweights.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21England produced some very fine paperweights, Scotland also, but this one here is very much
0:05:21 > 0:05:26in the French style, particularly sort of Clichy-style paperweight,
0:05:26 > 0:05:32probably dated from the early 20th century, where you have this millefiore design at the top.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Clichy became quite an important factory, but they started off
0:05:35 > 0:05:41making very cheap glass and then ended up producing exquisite objects similar to this.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Would that be French, then?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Er, I think it is French, although if you look very carefully
0:05:47 > 0:05:51on these barley-twist inclusions - can you see those? -
0:05:51 > 0:05:53there's just a hint of gold.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- Really?- Just a hint of gold, which you do associate more with the Italian factories.- Right.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03So I'd put it down as French, but it could be from another Continental source.
0:06:03 > 0:06:09The other thing I love about this is there seems to be a cone right in the middle of all those bubbles.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Er, we call them tears, so there's numerous tears inside.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- There's a lot of tears.- Absolutely.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I hope that's not why you're getting rid of it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- No.- Why do you want to sell it?
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Er, well, I do know people collect paperweights and I don't collect them.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32And if somebody really wanted this for a collection, I'd say then it would be in a good home.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Right. I think there'll be a ready market for this in the region of about £80 to £100.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41And the auction house, if they want it at a sort of comfortable reserve,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44they might bring it as low as 60. Is that acceptable?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Yes, as long as it goes to a good collector who'd appreciate it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:54We can't guarantee that, but I think even if a dealer buys it, it's going to be sold to a collector.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Yes, yes. - But let's find out if somebody there at auction is going to buy it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Yes.- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you. It's lovely being here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Cudsy, I love small silver pieces like that.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Tell me, where did you get them?
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Well, they've been in my family for five generations now and we've just
0:07:24 > 0:07:29been clearing out my granny's attic, so we've just found them again.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34They've been wrapped in newspaper in the attic, really, for a couple of years now.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39She's downsizing her house, so we're thinking of selling them now.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Is it something that you would like to keep?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Well, I'm not really sure what they were used for.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49I've been told they're called a pair of salts and that you sprinkle salt from them.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'm not really sure.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Ah, right. Well, that's absolutely right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56They are salt dishes.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00They're made of silver, they're hallmarked silver.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Do you know how you tell silver?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- No, I wouldn't know. - Well, I'm going to tell you today.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09If you look at the silver pieces, you'll see little boxes.
0:08:09 > 0:08:17Now, the little box with the lion on it tells us that it is silver - that is has been assayed as silver.
0:08:17 > 0:08:23And the little anchor here tells us that it was assayed in Birmingham.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29And Birmingham was a well-known place for small silver to be manufactured.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35- Yes.- Here we have a letter mark. It will be one of the letters of the alphabet,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and we can tell from that which year
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- the item was made.- Right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It was made in this case in 1901.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50And a little box at the end tells us the manufacturer's letter,
0:08:50 > 0:08:56so the auctioneer will trace the manufacturer there and hopefully that will be in the catalogue.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59But it still has its original liners and that's good.
0:08:59 > 0:09:11Salt was a very valuable commodity and it was worthy of putting in these lovely silver condiments.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Very typical of the Edwardian times, very simple decoration,
0:09:16 > 0:09:22away from the over-ornate decoration that they had in Victorian times.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Price-wise, what do you think, Cudsy?
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Er, I wouldn't be able to say. I'm not very good at valuing things.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- I wouldn't be able to say how much. - What age are you?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- I'm 16.- Oh, well, yes.- So...
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- don't really know.- I know, well, I'm just a wee, tiny bit older than 16!
0:09:40 > 0:09:45So, er, value. I would put
0:09:45 > 0:09:49£50 to £80 on this pair.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- Would you be happy to sell them at that price?- Yes, I think I would.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59We'll put them in at 50 to 80 with a reserve of, say, 45, just to protect them.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I'm sure they'll go higher than that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- And I look forward to seeing you on the auction day.- OK, thank you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09We can hold each other's hands and push the bidders on.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Yes, thank you.- OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Now, Winifred, I love this clock. Where has it been in the house?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Pride of place?- Not really, no.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28So where have you housed it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Actually, it's been in a box in a cupboard for years and years.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- You've never had it out? - Not for many years.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Did you not like it?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Not until this morning.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Soon as somebody admires it, you see it in a different light.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- That's right, yes.- I think this is quite beautiful. Where did it come from?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- It originally was my mother's... - Mmm?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54..I remember from childhood in her house.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57It dates from the earlier part of the 20th century.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02We're looking at round about 1900, 1910, that sort of period.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05And this is a Continental piece.
0:11:05 > 0:11:12But it's interesting that in Ireland they have a very keen appreciation of this type of Art Nouveau design,
0:11:12 > 0:11:19because the actual design is similar to the old Celtic designs,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22particularly this sort of openwork here.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26But this style of decoration we call Art Nouveau
0:11:26 > 0:11:29and Art Nouveau was an international style.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I wanted you to tell me your mother had been to Europe
0:11:32 > 0:11:36and had bought it when she was abroad. But that's not the case?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Yes, my mother, I don't think, was ever out of Ireland in her life.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Oh, right, right, right.
0:11:41 > 0:11:48The decoration is very similar to a porcelain on Rosenberg, which is a Dutch company,
0:11:48 > 0:11:54and you have this very thin line of painted decoration, with these elegant plant forms.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59But this is a pottery piece, so when I turn it upside down,
0:11:59 > 0:12:06we can see the Arnhem mark at the bottom there, so we still have the Dutch connection.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The clock movement is terrible.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12It's a cheap, cheap movement and doesn't do justice to the decoration
0:12:12 > 0:12:14and this piece of pottery.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- I love it.- Do you?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I love it, indeed. If I saw that in an antique shop, I'd go for it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I look at this and first of all you look for damage.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28There's two little fractures on both sides - here, here and on that side.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Not broken, but they're fractures, they're cracked, so it does affect the value.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38So if this comes up for sale, it's the design and people who love Art Nouveau
0:12:38 > 0:12:44that are going for this particular piece and I can see it going for about 60 to 80.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Would you be happy?- Oh, yes, yes.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- It's doing nothing in a box, is it? - No, no, it isn't, really.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I would be very happy with that, indeed.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Oh, good. In fact, I should offer you that now, shouldn't I?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57THEY LAUGH
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Let us go out to auction and see what happens.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Yes. It's got beautiful this morning, I can tell you!
0:13:08 > 0:13:14Maureen had her album signed by a family friend, who just happened to be George Best himself!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18And a Continental glass paperweight would grace any desk.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24Cudsy is hoping the pair of Edwardian silver salts are to the taste of the Belfast bidders.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27And Winifred has been keeping her Art Nouveau clock
0:13:27 > 0:13:31in a box under the stairs, much to the amazement of David.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33They hope it'll catch a collector's eye.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36For today's auction, we've come to Ross's of Belfast.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42Let's catch up with our auctioneer, Daniel Clarke, and see what he thinks of our experts' valuations.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46This is where we test them. Fingers crossed we get the top end of the estimate.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Belfast boy George Best, the greatest footballer in the world but possibly the world's worst singer.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59That's what we've got here. This LP belongs to Maureen.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01We valued it at £40 to £60.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06She was a childhood friend of George Best so she knew him, she was the next-door neighbour.
0:14:06 > 0:14:12Lots of local interest and it's signed. It was recorded in London with Miss World and both of them,
0:14:12 > 0:14:17in my opinion, just cannot sing, but I think it's the autograph that counts.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Well, I understand that the reserve has now been moved to £80.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- Has it? So she's upped the ante. - It's been on the internet.- Right.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30We have an airport named after George Best in Belfast now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- You can't miss it can you when you fly in, yeah.- It's a big name here.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39I guess with collectables and curios like that, the internet does have a bigger market,
0:14:39 > 0:14:44and people might be prepared to pay a bit more, because the commission is an awful lot less.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50Well, we're still in double figures and I'm not sure people will be terribly price sensitive.
0:14:50 > 0:14:57So there's every possibility it could make the sort of money that she's being bid on the internet.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- We'll have to wait and see, I don't know.- Are you confident? - Not confident, no.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05I think the original estimate of 40 to 60 was absolutely right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Whether somebody is prepared to push the boat out to go to £80, I'm not sure.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Hopefully, it'll hit the back of the net and sell.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16# It takes two, baby
0:15:16 > 0:15:19# It takes two, baby... #
0:15:19 > 0:15:24We'll see how George played a bit later, but first, here's Ann with her paperweight.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27We're looking at £80 to £100. Hopefully, we'll get the top end.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- I hope so.- I can detect a...a... an Essex accent or cockney accent.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Yes, originally, but I'm here now and I'm living in Sligo.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- What do you do for a living? - I'm a theatre nurse.- Oh!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- How long have you been a nurse? - Over 30 years.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Oh, you must love the job. You must be so dedicated.- I'm very lucky.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- In the old days, you'd have been classed as a matron.- Exactly.- Yes.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- Oh, dear, Matron, have we got that valuation right? - I don't know about that!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Say for the glass paperweight?
0:15:57 > 0:15:58£100?
0:15:58 > 0:16:0350? £40? I'm bid 30. Any more? At £30.
0:16:03 > 0:16:0540, 50, new bidder at 60.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08At £60, 70.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09At £70.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12At £70 I'm bid for the paperweight.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Your bid, sir, at 70. I'm letting it go at £70.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- £70.- Thank you.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20What are you going to spend it on?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- I'm going to buy a little something in here that I've got my eye on. - What are you going to buy?
0:16:24 > 0:16:30- I've seen a little piece of Belleek and I'm going to buy that for my sister, Alison.- OK.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Good luck, good luck. - So I shall be here.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36That's what we want to hear.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Lots of our owners that sell antiques reinvest in antiques.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- It's turning over.- It is, and it's great for the business. - It's the rollover effect.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Cudsy is flogging Grandmother's silver right now.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- It's a lovely silver salt pot.- Yeah. - Why are you selling this?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02My grandmother's downsizing and moving to an apartment. So she won't have any room.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- She's decluttering everything.- Yeah.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08This has been in the family for five generations. Surely that's worth hanging on to.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12We kept a few things, but we had to take away some things.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14There was quite a lot of silver.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16That would be a keeper for me. And for you?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20They're very nice but, as Cudsy said, you can't keep everything.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24I can, I'm a magpie. I store it all up.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28But they're downsizing and going to a smaller house.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Good luck with that.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Hopefully it will get the top end of the estimate. Silver is selling really well here.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Fingers crossed. This is it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Complete with the liners, Birmingham 1901, rather nice lot.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Nice size. Can we say £50, please? 40 I'm bid, 50, 60 with the porter.
0:17:46 > 0:17:4870 against you.
0:17:48 > 0:17:54- £80. 90, 100.- This is great. This is better.- £110.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Your bid, madam, at 110.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01New bidder at 20. At 130, at 140.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04At 140 with you, sir. At £140 for the salts.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08140. We're selling now at 140 with you, sir.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Yes, well over top end of estimate. - Lovely!
0:18:11 > 0:18:15What are you going to put that money towards? Shoe shopping, clothes?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I collect hats. So I'm going to buy some more hats.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Oh, you'll get a few for that.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- I love the one you're wearing. - Thank you.- Suits you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Well, time's up. No, it's not the end of the show
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- and it's not time I'm flogging my watch, but we are flogging Winifred's Art Nouveau clock.- Yes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's been under the stairs for a long time.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46We've got a valuation of 50, 60, £70 on this.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Hopefully, we'll get the top end. What was it doing under the stairs?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Well, it was just stored in a box,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55because it's surplus to my needs.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Are we looking at a "come and buy me"? Will it do a lot more?
0:18:58 > 0:19:04- I think we're fairly close. I try and put sensible prices on things. - Well, we'll find out right now.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- Winifred, say goodbye to the clock - it's going under the hammer.- Bye!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11The Art Nouveau clock. Can we say £50?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15If it doesn't sell for £50, David is going to pull his trousers down!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I hope it doesn't sell!- At £50.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Just under the rostrum at £50. At £50, I'm bid.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30At £50 I have for the clock, at 50. We're selling, all finished, 50.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Yes, it sold for 50.- Just missed.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Just missed his trousers being pulled down,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- didn't we?- Oh, that's a shame!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Got Winifred going then!
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- That would have been good! - That would have been good!
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I assure you, it would not have been. No surprises there.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Which brings us to the most famous Belfast boy ever, Georgie Best.
0:20:02 > 0:20:09My schoolboy hero. This LP signed by George Best belongs to you, Maureen. But not for much longer.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15We originally had a valuation of £40 to £60, put on by Anita here.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Since the valuation, Maureen's had a word with the auctioneer and you've upped the reserve to £80.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23It's now fixed at 80. Why did you do that?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- I think he's worth more than that. - Fingers crossed it is.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32He was one of the world's greatest footballers - possibly the world's worst singer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37I know for a fact this was recorded in Battery Studios in Willesden in north London.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40They were one of the first studios to have a Fairlight computer.
0:20:40 > 0:20:47George Best actually sung every word into the computer and it put it into key.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50It was a long process, but that's how they got through it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Could be a tough call. It's £80.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- George Best is Belfast's best boy. - He is, isn't he?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59This is Belfast. They've got to go for it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I was a wee bit conservative.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Ah, right, OK.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04A wee bit conservative.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07You could see it going to 200.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Right, fingers crossed, let's hope it hits the back of the net.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16£200. That's a big shot. It's going under the hammer now.
0:21:16 > 0:21:22Long-playing record, Shape Up & Dance, signed by George Best.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Collectible lot, can we say £50 for this? £50 anywhere?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29£50 for the Best. 50, I'm bid.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33At £50. At £50, I'm bid. Any more?
0:21:33 > 0:21:39At £50. At 60. New bidder at 70. Outside at 70. Bid 80.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- £80 I'm bid now.- You were right.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45George Best, signed sleeve.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49£80, new bidder at 90. £100.
0:21:49 > 0:21:55At £100, 110, 120, 130, 140,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59150, 160, 170,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03180, 190, 200.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06210, 220,
0:22:06 > 0:22:12230, 240, 250, 260.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14260, I'm bid.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- At £260, all out at £260. - GAVEL BANGS
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- Yes!- That definitely is the back of the net!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Georgie Best.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- What a hero. What are you going to do with 240 quid?- Don't know.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Out for a nice meal with my husband.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Well, so far so good. We're having a cracking auction.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Don't forget, there's plenty more to come later on.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50But right now, as this is such thirsty work, I'm going to nip out and have a swift half.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09This is probably one of the most famous pubs in Belfast
0:23:09 > 0:23:14and is one of only two pubs in the whole of the UK that's owned by the National Trust.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21The Trust made the decision to buy The Crown in 1978.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24One person who played a crucial role in encouraging the purchase
0:23:24 > 0:23:27was the late poet laureate, Sir John Betjeman.
0:23:32 > 0:23:38Betjeman described the crown as a many-coloured cavern and, believe me, in its day, it was.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Clear, bright colourful stained-glass windows
0:23:41 > 0:23:44and a very vivid crematic hue all over the ceiling,
0:23:44 > 0:23:50but with decades of smoking, it has turned this dirty, burnt umber colour.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55But they've started to clean it. There's a little trace of its original sparkle.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Some lovely golds, ambers and bright reds.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04I think, once they've finished it, it will return to Betjeman's many-coloured cavern.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18The Crown is a gem of Victoriana and it was one of the greatest gin palaces in its day.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23It was built in 1826 and it was originally called The Railway Tavern.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Later on, it was bought by Michael Flanagan,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29whose son Patrick turned it into what we see today.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Patrick was a student of architecture, who travelled widely
0:24:35 > 0:24:39and brought home some elaborate ideas about what to do with his dad's pub.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44It was 1885, a time when Home Rule for Ireland
0:24:44 > 0:24:49was being openly discussed and Belfast was experiencing a massive building boom.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Skilled craftsmen were brought in from Italy
0:24:51 > 0:24:55to decorate the many churches that were being built in the area.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Patrick Flanagan seized upon this opportunity
0:24:57 > 0:25:02and offered them work moonlighting on the refurbishment of this bar.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06MUSIC: "O Sole Mio"
0:25:13 > 0:25:18The Italians used their considerable talents with great effect with their choice of materials.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Wonderful marble work, tiling, mosaic floor and, obviously,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26the gorgeous ornamentation all over the woodwork.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30It's this whole package that gives The Crown its distinctive character.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Despite the obvious ostentation of this place, some drinkers were keen
0:25:46 > 0:25:50not to be seen enjoying the demon drink,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54so they would come into one of these snugs or booths.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59There's ten of them in total and John Betjeman described them as bacchanalian opera boxes.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04And I think they're certainly grand enough to merit that description.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16It says "matches" here on one of the panels.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22That was a match striker, but it's worn so smooth, I don't think that will strike up a match any more.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Of course, there were a system of bells in all the booths, just like this one.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It alerted the bar staff as to your liquid requirements.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Now, the bells still work.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36But sadly, the bar staff don't come and take your order any more.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39So it looks like I've got to go to the bar myself.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57Well, I couldn't come to one of the most famous pubs in Ireland without sampling a pint of Guinness.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00So here goes. But it's going to have to be a quick one,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03because it's straight back to the valuation day.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14And here's a classic David valuation.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21John, I am fascinated by these stipple prints that you've brought in.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Give me the history.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Are they family pieces? Where do they come from?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30I think my mother bought them originally from
0:27:30 > 0:27:35- Ross's Auctions in Belfast... - Right.- ..about 60-70 years ago.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Do you know why she bought them?
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Well, she was keen on antiques and she used to go around the auction rooms
0:27:43 > 0:27:47and, you know, buy the odd painting and pictures.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- She had a very good eye, didn't she?- She did.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- So you've inherited these? - Yes.- Why on earth do you want to sell them?
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Well, we've redecorated the hallway where they hung
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- and they just don't fit in with the decor.- With the decor?- Yeah.
0:28:04 > 0:28:10This print - the subject matter relates to the destruction of Pompeii.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16In the background, you can see the smoking of Vesuvius and there's all these terrified people.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19They'd never seen this thing happen before.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22One of the servants is drawing attention
0:28:22 > 0:28:26to this young gentleman who is writing up notes.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29That is Pliny the Younger.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34His uncle, Pliny the Older, actually died during the eruption.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38But this is the first account that survived
0:28:38 > 0:28:43of an eruption of the sort of magnitude of Pompeii.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Fascinating subject. Really super.
0:28:46 > 0:28:52The other one, I think, is the death of Socrates.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57He was ordered by the Athenian Council to commit suicide.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59They believed that he was corrupting youth
0:28:59 > 0:29:01through his writings and his thoughts.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04He was a great philosopher. So here we have him
0:29:04 > 0:29:08writing up to the last moment his thoughts on philosophy.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- Yeah.- And here we have these figures here in elegant repose
0:29:12 > 0:29:16with this wreath here symbolising death.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21So these prints are very much in the classical mode.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25These are in their original black glass surrounds here.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29And if we turn one around, this is the best one to turn around,
0:29:29 > 0:29:34we can actually see this retailer's mark,
0:29:34 > 0:29:38and this is probably the person who did the framing.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42William Rodman and Company, Arthur Street, Belfast.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Do you know whether they still exist?- No, they don't exist.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- They've gone bye-byes? - I think so.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51The other interesting thing is this information here,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54where we have, "Published January 20th, 1791,"
0:29:54 > 0:29:56with details of who printed them, but these are later,
0:29:56 > 0:30:00these are a second issue, as it were,
0:30:00 > 0:30:05round about the turn of the last century, so we're looking at about 1900, that sort of period.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Now, after saying all that, let's put a price on them.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13I think the auctioneer is going to say he wants an estimate
0:30:13 > 0:30:18between £60 and £80, hopefully that it's going above £100.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Have you established a sort of figure that you want for these?
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- I would like £80. - You'd like £80?- Yes.
0:30:26 > 0:30:32If the auctioneer's estimate was £80 to £120, so we're going for a fixed reserve of 80...
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Yes.- ..and hope to get £100 plus. - Yes.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Exactly.- Thank you very much. It's rather interesting, isn't it?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41That these items are going back to the same auction house
0:30:41 > 0:30:46- that your mother bought them from. - That's true. Let's hope it's lucky! - Fingers crossed!
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Gemma, this is a lovely wee thing.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Tell me, where did you get it?
0:31:00 > 0:31:04It belonged to my great aunt, who gave it to my mum as a present,
0:31:04 > 0:31:09and my mum has passed it on to me to sell it, to get a bit of money to go to university.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- Ah, I see! We'll do our very best to help you, Gemma.- Good.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19What we have here is a Royal Winton breakfast set. It's for one person.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22You have your teapot tea for one!
0:31:22 > 0:31:26milk jug,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28little egg cup,
0:31:28 > 0:31:36your cup and your little toast rack, all contained in this tray.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38If we look underneath, we can see
0:31:38 > 0:31:45the back stamp for Royal Winton and the pattern name.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48The pattern is Summertime.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52That's not the best of the patterns, but people still like it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55If it was Sweet Peas, it would do a little more.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00Royal Winton are sort of flavour of the month. People like it.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04It was never a very expensive make,
0:32:04 > 0:32:11but people felt that this heavy pattern of flowers was very cheering.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I myself find it very cheering.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19It's collectively called "chintz", and you get lots of different patterns.
0:32:19 > 0:32:26It's in perfect condition, it's all there, and people will like it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Price? What do you think on price?
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Well, I was hoping to get at least £100 for it.- At least 100?- Yeah.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I think we'll get a wee bit more than that.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- Right.- I always like to price things conservatively,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42to give them a chance to encourage the bidding and so on.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47I think this should fall somewhere between 150 and 200.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- OK.- So that will get you a wee more for university.
0:32:51 > 0:32:58And I would say, if you want to protect it, a reserve of around £130 with discretion.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Would you feel happy at that? - Yeah, that's brilliant.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06Well, let's go for it and hope that it goes for the higher estimate.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11- That'd be brilliant.- Thank you very much for bringing it along. - OK. Thank you.- OK.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21It's rather nice to have three generations on "Flog It!".
0:33:21 > 0:33:29So we have Mary the grandma, Julie the mummy and Adam, who is the grandson.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31It's rather nice. Who does this belong to?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33- Me.- And where did you get it from?
0:33:33 > 0:33:38- It was a wedding present 40 years ago.- Why are you parting with it?
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Well, my husband died, unfortunately, and I don't want to keep it any more.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44All right, OK.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49So it was a treasured wedding present, it's been on display.
0:33:49 > 0:33:55- So what prompted you to come in and sell it?- Julie.- Julie?
0:33:55 > 0:33:56Well, it wasn't on display.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- It wasn't?- No.- Where was it?
0:33:58 > 0:34:04It was in a wardrobe, and we were clearing it out, and I just happened to see that on the shelf.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07I said, "I didn't know you had something like that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09"Where did you get that?"
0:34:09 > 0:34:12I said I'd seen something like that on "Flog It!"
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- and we should get it valued, so here we are.- This is very nice.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22A piece of Clarice Cliff, and I think this form, which is Rose 400 design,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25is almost futuristic.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29It's like one of those Flash Gordon spaceships that takeoff.
0:34:29 > 0:34:36And this design here lasted for one year only - 1929 to 1930.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- My God! - So it is comparatively rare.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45It's called Umbrella pattern, though to me it looks as though
0:34:45 > 0:34:50it's been blown inside out in a storm, but Umbrella pattern on a Rose 400 shape.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Now, I've said all that, what do you think it's worth?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- A couple of hundred? - I think you'll do better than that.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- Really?- Yeah.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04I'd like to price it at £350 to £500,
0:35:04 > 0:35:08but I'm going to put a "but" in this.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13There's an element of wear on the black decoration on the top.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17And also, there's a slight chip round the corner here.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21That is going to affect the purest collectors,
0:35:21 > 0:35:26so the auction house may come back with a reserve of about 280.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- Is that still going to be acceptable?- Oh, yes!
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Julie, do you like it enough to hang on to it?
0:35:32 > 0:35:37- Well, I like it, but it's not mine and she's not giving it to me. - Oh, dear! ..Adam, what about you?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- I'd rather have a go-kart. - Rather have a go-kart?
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- Oh, I think I'd be of the same inclination, actually.- Absolutely.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49Well, right now, it's time to race off back to the auction room.
0:35:49 > 0:35:55David thinks John's pair of classical scenes are Edwardian reprints of 18th-century originals.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59This Summertime Winton breakfast set brightened up Anita's day,
0:35:59 > 0:36:02and Gemma's hoping to raise funds for a bright future.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05And finally, yes, you've guessed it, Clarice Cliff rides again,
0:36:05 > 0:36:10in the shape of this rather rare futuristic Umbrella pattern vase.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18Here's something I've got to show you, because this made me laugh earlier. It put a smile on my face.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22It's an 18th-century Irish coffer. A blanket chest, if you like.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25It's made of oak. Now, this is quite rare,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28because I've bought and sold these for the last 20 years of my life,
0:36:28 > 0:36:33and this is the first one I've ever come across with two candle boxes.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37One at either end. You normally only see them with one candle box.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39You used to keep the candles in there,
0:36:39 > 0:36:43and the smell of the wax repelled the moths off the blankets.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Unfortunately, the top's been patched up,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50which has devalued it, but it's a unique piece.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54That's the beauty of looking round auction rooms - you come across the unusual.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Fingers crossed. Your lot's about to go under the hammer.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Two stipple prints - value £80 to £120.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10This is an example of something in the antiques trade
0:37:10 > 0:37:14that just goes around and around, because most things in this business do.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17They've been bought and sold before.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21These were bought in this saleroom 70 years ago, and here they are again.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23I think that's quite lovely, I really do.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27I agree with David's valuation, and I'd like to see them get the top end.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31If you had Sheraton-style furniture, they'd look absolutely superb,
0:37:31 > 0:37:35and you wouldn't need anything else on the wall, except that print.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40We're gonna find out right now what the bidders of Belfast think for the second time round!
0:37:40 > 0:37:4270 years later, this is it. Good luck.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Pair of 19th-century prints in Hogarth frames.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50There we have them. Could we say £100 for the pair, please?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53£50. 60. 70.
0:37:53 > 0:37:5580. 90 with the porter.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Bids with the porter at £90.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01At £90. £100. New bidder. 110. 120.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- Good. We're in. We're in. We're in! - 140. On my right at £140.
0:38:06 > 0:38:12- This is good.- New bidder at 150. 160. At 160. 170.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15180. On my right at 180. 190.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19At £190. At £190.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- At 190. I'm selling now at £190. - GAVEL BANGS
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Yes!- Sold! You'll take that, won't you!
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- £190!- Excellent!- What are you gonna put that towards?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- A holiday.- Where are you going?
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Well, I hope to go in January out to Dubai on a cruise.- Dubai?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Lovely! Lovely!
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- How much was the original cost? Obviously, you didn't buy them. - I haven't a clue.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Probably about five guineas. - Probably something like that!
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- A good investment!- It was!
0:38:57 > 0:39:01I've been joined by Gemma in the nick of time, because your lot is going under the hammer.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05- It's absolutely heaving in here! Is this your first auction? - Yes, it is.- What do you think?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- It's very exciting. - It is. It's quite tense.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11It's full of colour and you don't know where to look.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14But right now, we're focusing on that lovely Royal Winton tea set.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17It's your mum's, and she's letting you flog this
0:39:17 > 0:39:22to put the money - £150 to £200 - to go towards your university education.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- So you're off to uni next year. What are you gonna study? - Hopefully, social anthropology.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29That sounds interesting! What's that all about?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32It's humans within different cultures and how they interact.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- Wonderful. Will that be in Belfast? - Yes. I'm looking to stay at home.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41- Exciting times ahead. Will you move away from home? - No.- Love Mum's cooking!
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Anita, we've got £150 to £200.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Can we get any more?
0:39:45 > 0:39:50I don't think so. Royal Winton peaked a couple of years ago,
0:39:50 > 0:39:53so it's not getting as much as it did before.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57But this is a nice, clean little set, all the pieces are in good condition...
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- There's a lot of kit there. - Very cheery.- It's very cheery!
0:40:00 > 0:40:05Yes! Well, it's just about to go under the hammer. Good luck, Gemma. This is it. Fingers crossed.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11Royal Winton breakfast set, Summertime pattern. Rather nice.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Pristine order. £100, please.
0:40:12 > 0:40:1480? 60, I'm bid.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17At 60 I'm bid. 70. 80.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22- 90. 100. Against you, sir. - We're climbing, we're climbing.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27At £110 for the Winton. At 120. On my right at 120.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- Good, good.- One more! - In the saleroom at £120.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35At £120 against you, sir. It's on my right at £120.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40At 120. All done at £120.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- You're all finished. - That's it - it's sold.- £120.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48I thought it had to make the reserve or it didn't get sold.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53If there's a reserve on things, very often the auctioneer can use a little bit of discretion.
0:40:53 > 0:40:59He'll use ten per cent, which on 130, is giving him £13.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01We had a valuation of 150 to 200, didn't we?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03With a reserve 130 with discretion.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07- Yeah.- Is that...? - OK. Poor Mum.- Aw!
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- Will Mum be disappointed? - I'm happy enough. It's Mum.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Is she here today?- Yes, she is. We bid on the wee cups.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- You got them?- Yeah, at £12. - Well, that was a good bargain.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Win some, lose some!
0:41:25 > 0:41:29You're watching "Flog It!", so we've gotta have a bit of Clarice Cliff in the show.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32And we've got some today, and it is a cracker.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33It belongs to Mary.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Where's Adam? Is he at school?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- Adam's at school.- And Julie? - Julie had to go to work.- Ah!
0:41:38 > 0:41:43- So it's just you.- Just me. - But we've got David, our expert, who's looking after you.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47- My son and daughter-in-law are here. - Oh, so you've got some company.- Yes.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- You've got moral support. - Lots of moral support. We've got a valuation.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Hopefully, we're gonna get mid-estimate or top end of the estimate - £400, £500?
0:41:55 > 0:41:57That would be rather nice. Rather nice.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02Clarice Cliff has universal appeal, so I hope we'll get the top end of the market.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- We've got a fixed reserve of 250. - Yes.- Yeah.- Yes.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09- Good luck.- 280.- 280? Oh! Correct me, correct me really quickly! 280!
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Fixed at 280.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Lot 361, a Clarice Cliff vase.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17What do we say? £500, for the vase.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19400. 300 to open.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24300 with the porter. 320. 350. 380. 400.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- Nice, steady climb. - With the porter at 450.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32- 480. 500. 520. - Nice, steady climb.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37- That's better. - At 580. At £600. 620. 630.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- They absolutely love it! - They certainly do!
0:42:40 > 0:42:44640 for the Clarice Cliff. At £640.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- All done at £640. - GAVEL BANGS
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Yeah! £640! Not too sad, is it?
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Take the money rather than the Clarice Cliff.- Yes.- I would!
0:42:53 > 0:42:59- But what a good investment!- It was. Well, it was a wedding present. - So you didn't pay anything for it!
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- That was wonderful! - LAUGHTER
0:43:06 > 0:43:08It's all still going on, as you can see.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12All our owners have now gone home. They're all very, very happy.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14We've been looked after here in Ireland.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18I do enjoy Belfast so much. Many thanks to Ross's Auction Room.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20And, of course, Georgie Best did it again.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24Maureen's face lit up with that staggering £260.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28Gotta be the luck of the Irish. See you soon on "Flog It!".
