0:00:02 > 0:00:06Good day to you. Fancy a spin around this lot?
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Me too - let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37Today we're at the International Antiques and Collectables Fair
0:00:37 > 0:00:39in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hello - I'm so glad that you could join me.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I'm no stranger to a fair or two.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47In fact, I'm hardly ever away from them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52But today, I've to a really strong feeling in my waterworks.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Just have a look at this lot.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00- You have a feeling?- I've got a vibe. - He's got a vibe. Follow the vibe.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Coming up, the Reds follow their instincts.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05But their experts get desperate.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Anything you want to try and sell us?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- You know what we're looking for. - Uh...silver, is it?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We're looking for a bargain, and we don't care what it's made of.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16And the Blues take David Barby to the edge.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Is it on the same stall? - It's on the same stall.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Oh...
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Sorry.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25And the auction's a cliffhanger as well.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Oh, that's ridiculous.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40So today, waiting in the wings, we have our Black team,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Andrew and Natasha,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and partners Ben and Tracy for the Blues.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Welcome to Bargain Hunt. - Hello.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49So, what's all this about "Black team"?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51We don't have Black teams.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We're a paranormal investigation team,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55we go into haunted locations
0:01:55 > 0:01:57and see if there's any ghosts there, basically.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58- Do you really?- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Are you what they call ghost busters?- Oh, no.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- We don't bust, we research them. - Research them?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Yes, we just go in and try scientifically see if there's any reason
0:02:09 > 0:02:11why people are having the experiences they say they have.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15How do you prove one way or the other whether there is this experience happening or not?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17We have a lot of equipment that we take with us
0:02:17 > 0:02:19like EMF meters and thermometer guns
0:02:19 > 0:02:22but sometimes it can be just central heating
0:02:22 > 0:02:26that's making the floorboards creak so it can be environmental as well.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Well, that sounds just brilliant, doesn't it?- Oh, it's fantastic.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Andrew, do you do this full-time?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Apart from this, I'm also a musician.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36It's something I've done throughout my entire life.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Now, I'm a guitar teacher, I do session work,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40do a lot of gigs for people who ask me to.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44It's great, I make money and it's fantastic.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Well, what a lovely team.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Now, for the Blues - an equally lovely team.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Thank you.- How did you two meet?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53We met about nine years ago at university,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55we were on the same business course.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58And you've had experience of making money out of objects?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Yes, recently I made money on a 20p piece that didn't have a date on it.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I saw the news stories about it, went through the pennies
0:03:05 > 0:03:07and there it was, just one by itself.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I put it on an internet auction site and managed to make £120 out of it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11- Did you really?- Yeah.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14But it's not all about making money because you like to hoard a bit.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I do, I do, CDs, DVDs, it's ridiculous.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I've got so many collectibles going at the moment.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21What do you collect, Trace?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I collect Bad Taste Bears and I've got about 350 of them.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Just tell me what is a Bad Taste Bear?
0:03:27 > 0:03:31They are bears that are quite crude, lewd and exceptionally rude.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34They are not the kind of one you'd show your mum, normally.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37It says here that you think you've spent more than five grand
0:03:37 > 0:03:38over the years on your bears.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40About five and a half in fact.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I actually met the creator of them two weeks ago
0:03:43 > 0:03:44and I told him I personally blamed him
0:03:44 > 0:03:46for spending that volume of money.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- I bet he's delighted!- Very happy.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54And now we come to the money moment. Here we go, here is £300.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Thank you very much.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Do you know something?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I think we are going to have to re-dress these Blacks.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03What do you think?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Oh, how spooky is that?!
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Anyway, you know the rules - your experts await and off you go.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Paranormal, hey? Just normal would be nice.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18GHOSTBUSTERS THEME TUNE
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Helping the teams and hopefully scaring them away from any losses,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23we have our two experts.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27For the Reds, it's Paul Laidlaw...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32..and for the Blues - David Barby.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Let's hope they don't spook easily as today,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39they'll be helping not one, but two lots of Reds and Blues.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Our teams have an hour to look around the fair with
0:04:44 > 0:04:50and £300 in their pockets to find the most profitable items to buy.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Anything in particular you are looking for?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Yes, bits of silver or something that just jumps out at us.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Something that just jumps out at you, that's the one.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00That's the right answer. Let's find it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Better watch out, Paul.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It could turn into a horror story with these two.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- That picture's incredible, that one there.- I'm not a fan.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- You really like this one. - It's quite clever.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Who-o-o-o...now that's scary.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Not great.- Not a fan of that.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18OK, I like things that make an impact.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It made an impact, just not the right one.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22HE LAUGHS
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Oh, dear, I don't think David
0:05:24 > 0:05:26made a very good first impression on the Blues.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Let's hope Paul's doing better with the Reds.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- What do you think of that? - Oh, yeah, I like that.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35That is fantastic, that is really nice.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Mid-19th century, turned mahogany spinning wheel.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43No ornament, that's the real deal, a working tool of some quality.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- That is gorgeous.- Fantastic.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48A dream. Look at these lovely little turned elements.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's pretty much all there.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53This is it, you've none of the other bits?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57No, there's a spindle missing somewhere.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Do you guys like it? - Yeah, definitely.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- I can give you a good deal on that, a very good deal.- Brilliant.
0:06:04 > 0:06:0528 quid.
0:06:05 > 0:06:0728 quid. You're the bosses.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I'll go with that 28 quid.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Are you happy with that?- Yes. - That was pretty easy, was it not?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I was going to start some haggling then!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Well, that was easy and the Reds are off to a flying start.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24The challenge for the Blues is to find something they will agree on.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's the Royal Lyceum - where is it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Opposite Waterloo Bridge, Strand -
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- so that's a London theatre. - What age is it?
0:06:38 > 0:06:44- 1844.- Wow.- December 14th, 1844, will be performed for the 26th time
0:06:44 > 0:06:47a new and original farce, entitled A Trip To Kissingen.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I like the fact that it's a new and original farce for the 26th time.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52I think that's brilliant.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55What I like about it is, it's not a reproduction.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57You can tell by the creases.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I think you ought to find out the price on it
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- before you sort of get too excited. - How much?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I can take £15. - Take £15, what do you reckon, David?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Ask the gentleman if that's the very best he can do. - Is that the best you can do for us?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I suppose today, to clear it, I'll take £10.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Take £10.- I'll be happy with that. - I'll be happy with £10 for that. - Deal.- Deal.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Yes! Ben and Tracey have just learnt the first rule
0:07:20 > 0:07:21from the David Barby school of bargaining.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It never hurts to ask.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- OK, that's our first buy.- Excellent. Within...- 10 minutes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Like it, like it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Great - at last, the Blues all seem to be in tune.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37And you said you wanted jewellery, as though you don't have enough.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I like jewellery, love silver jewellery.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43OK. What I was going to suggest is that we go into the main building.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Do you have a feeling? - I've got a vibe.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49He's got a vibe, follow the vibe.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55This is quite nice.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Have you found something, guys?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- Yeah, a bit different. - Faux medieval...
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Essentially, you are looking at dodgy reproduction, what can I say.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Right. OK.- A lump of brass.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Obviously the vibes Andrew's picking up are dodgy too.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18See anything you like?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- I like the silver bangle. - I like that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26That's quite reasonable at £12, is he prepared to take any less?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Just might come back to that, I'm going to have a look and see if
0:08:29 > 0:08:32there's any more like necklaces or anything like that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36What about the hip flask over there?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Got a pocket fob for £75. - A pocket fob for £75.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Come on, Tracey - make your mind up, girl!
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Have a look at that?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'm looking for a mark. It's marked on the bottom.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I think that could have many a use -
0:08:55 > 0:08:56not just a cigarette box.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I prefer the bangle, to be honest.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Or do you want to have a look round?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I want to look round because I think there's more we can get.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Right, let's have a little wander. - Let's have a wander round.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Women shoppers - it's enough to drive you bonkers.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17I've just seen a very cute pair of doggy earrings, Tiffany for £32.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I don't know if it's got the box but I think it will sell.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Do you want to go back? - I think we might have to.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Is it on the same stall?- It is. - It's on the same stall.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Oooh... - Sorry.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Go back after, go back after.- Well, no, let's go and have a look now.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Poor old David - unfortunately, it's not going much better for the Reds,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40who are also struggling to find their second buy.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Guys, it's been half an hour.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- After a fantastic start, we've faltered just a tad.- Right.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Oh, this looks busy around here. - Oh, yes.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Is there a vibe, Andy, is there a vibe?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51I'm feeling it, I'm feeling it.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- That's what we need. - No, not the dodgy vibes again.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Oh, post boxes.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- A black post box.- That's different.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04That's quirky. What about a black post box? What's going on there?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05I doubt you can afford that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- Oh, I've just said that. - I've got two quid in my pocket.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Now come on, Andrew, stop trying to tempt Paul over to the dark side.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Have you anything you want to sell us?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- You know what we're looking for? - It's silver, is it?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Well, we're looking for a bargain, we don't care what it's made of.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Paul's getting desperate
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and David can't be finding it any easier either
0:10:27 > 0:10:32as Tracey is still looking for a bit of silver to put in her nose.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33That's nice, that is nice.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Would that be something that you might use?- I would wear that, that is beautiful.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42There've got some unusual ones on there.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- What have they got on there? - They've got Ireland there.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46I've never seen that one.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49They've got the typewriter there, that's quite quirky.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52You've got Severn Bridge there.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53A little post box as well.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Some of these I've never seen on a charm before.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Let's see if it goes round your wrist.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00It does, is it fairly loose?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03That is perfect and you've got a little bit of give there, too.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Excuse me,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07how much for this, please?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- That would be £30, that sir. - £30, thank you very much.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13What do you reckon, David?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16You may be able to get it cheaper, he's got a nice face.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Can you do that a bit better for us?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- £25.- Can you do £20, sir?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- I can't do £20, no. £25. - £22.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- £22, please.- Go on then, yeah.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Thank you very much. The deal's done.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Ah-ha, rule number two from the David Barby school of bargaining.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Always flatter the dealer.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35That's two down for the Blues,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37the Reds have got some catching up to do, my gosh.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I can't guarantee if it works.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Therein lies the problem.- Oh, right.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- What could the price be on that? - 40 quid.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I think it's a fair retail price, but I bet on losing money on it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57£20 to £40 at auction, a high estimate.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59This man will do it for 30 quid, but no less.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I think it's a really nice piece, I do really like it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Will you take 25?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Go on. - Go on, then.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07It's worth 25 quid all day long.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- 25 quid, I'll go with that. - Good man, thank you very much.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15If it crashes and burns at auction, you're the one who's in trouble.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Andrew had better hope he's picking up the right vibes this time.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Good second purchase, but 20 minutes to go.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- You tell me where we're going. - Better get going.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Toys, toys.- Toys.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Toys, toy.- Oh, yes.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Could these Reds be on a roll?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Escalado, mechanical race game.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Like what's telling me there, a mechanical toy.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43That, I assume, is your turf, clamps on to your table.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45And you've got a crank there.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47What are your gee-gees made of?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Die cast gee-gees.- I like this.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Not fantastic, but good. - I like that.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- And the price is on it somewhere. - £28.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00It's all there. I don't think you're going to knock the condition.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Let me stick that back.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Why doesn't Natasha bat her eyelids at that bloke
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- and see what the price really can be?- Right.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- How does that sound?- Go on. - I'll give it a go.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Back again - what's your best price on this game?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Says £28 on the actual box.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- £28.- Yeah, on the box, it says. What's your best?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- You want to buy it for £15.- £18.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- £18.- That's the very best.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Mmm, can you not go any lower?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27You're driving a hard bargain - 15 quid.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'll see what Paul has to say.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It's going to make 20 to 30 quid at auction on a good day.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34You've backed a winner.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Well, the Reds really have romped past the finishing post,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40leaving the Blues stuck in the mire.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I like this.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44What is it? Is it a bureau, or...?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47What it is, it's a little stationery cabinet.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48£190.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50This is really very good, but look at the prices -
0:13:50 > 0:13:52£275, Ruskin.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Is this a Pilkington? - Pilkington's £950.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- It's quality, but it's all top price. - That's right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Oh, Lord, just look at these.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02All very nice, David,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06but you haven't got the time to look at things you can't afford.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Oh, that looks interesting doesn't it?- Sampler.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- It hasn't been touched has it? - No, it really hasn't.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Absolutely filthy.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The tiles will tell me more about the period when it was made.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Because if you look at that, they've got a Japanese influence.- Yes.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- You see those bamboo decoration here.- Yes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24That's all part and parcel of the Japanese interest
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- round about 1870, 1880. - I really, really like it.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Excuse me, how much?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34The washstand is £85 and the chest of drawers is £100.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37£185. If we have the two...?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40If you had the two, then I would do the two for £150.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Can we split the difference? £145?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Well, I won't haggle over a fiver - £145.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- £145.- Thank you very much. - OK. You want to buy it?- Yes, please.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59Bargaining lesson number three from Mr Barby - never give up.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03The Blues have got their third item just in the nick of time.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Lt's remind ourselves what the teams bought.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10The Red team set things in motion
0:15:10 > 0:15:14with the mahogany spinning wheel for £28.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Andrew is hoping to raise the volume in the sale room
0:15:17 > 0:15:20with the Bakelite radio he got for £25.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24And finally Natasha brought the Reds home,
0:15:24 > 0:15:28buying the horse racing game for just £15.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29- How much did you spend?- £68.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35£68! What's the point in us giving you £300, that's what I ask myself?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- That's £232 to Paul.- Flush.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41What are you going to do with all that lot? Spend the lot, I hope.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- I shall invest shrewdly, as always. - You will indeed.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47But let's hope most of it goes on something spectacular.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- I hope so too.- That's what I look forward to. Good luck with that.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Meanwhile, why don't we check out how the Blues are getting on?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57First up, Ben and Tracey put on a good show,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01purchasing the theatre poster for just £10.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06Next, Tracey was charmed by the silver bracelet for just £22.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13And finally, at £145, the bedroom furniture was a last-minute buy.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I hope it doesn't give them any sleepless nights.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21How are you on the math, darling? how much did you spend?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24We have spent £177 so we have £123 left.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30Spot on. £123, thank you very much. £123 goes straight across, look.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Oh, yummy.- So, are you ready for this then, David?- I am indeed.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- There's enough choice there, isn't there?- It's massive.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40There are millions of items here, all good - well, within reason.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Up to £123 worth,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44it's your challenge, David, and good luck.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59So, we've nipped from Nottinghamshire to Cheshire
0:16:59 > 0:17:04to be at Frank Marshall & Co sale room in Knutsford with Nick Hall, our auctioneer of the moment.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Welcome, Tim.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Now, Natasha and Andrew have gone with a seriously wacky group of objects here.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15First up is the mahogany 18th century spinning wheel.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19It's what we call rustic bygones, it doesn't take up a lot of room. It's a sweet little curio.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22There's a corner in most cottages that that would squeeze in.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Quite frankly I cannot believe they only paid £28.- Is that all?
0:17:25 > 0:17:30£28 for a period little spinning wheel like that.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- How do you rate in the sale room? - Well, we have put £40 to £60 on it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Well, they will be pleased to start off, hopefully with a profit.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Good.- Next is the mains radio.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44It's original, it's in pretty good condition. £30 to £50.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- £25 paid so they could double their money which would be great.- Good.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- Lastly, the Escalado dining table top gambling game.- Absolutely.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Does that light your fuse, Nick? - It's a bit of fun.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Again it's one of those nostalgia pieces.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04I'm going £20, £30, not a great deal of money but there's one or two condition problems again.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I know it looks slightly tatty but don't worry about it because they only paid £15.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Anyway, depending on the going will depend on whether they need
0:18:11 > 0:18:14their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well, Natasha where's the man then?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Well, he's done his back in. We've been moving house.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22He can't handle it, you know.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- But you're OK?- Yeah, not too bad, a bit weary but fine.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27When were you doing the move then?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Yesterday.- Oh, I see. - Still in the middle of it.
0:18:29 > 0:18:37Ahh. Well, this is the moment when you both see the item that Paul has bought for you as your bonus buy.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38What did you buy, Paul?
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Oh, what's that? - That is a Bronze Age axe head.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Fantastic.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47That is a 3,000-year-old socketed axe head.
0:18:47 > 0:18:53Where you get a fork and a stick and a socket on your axe sleeves over that.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Clip it via this little loop here.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58And then you have your axe head.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I paid £65.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'd like you to double your money.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05So, there's a good prediction there for a good profit.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09But for the viewers at home let's find out what the auctioneer makes of the axe head.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14We see a lot of so-called Bronze Age and other early pieces of metal ware,
0:19:14 > 0:19:18some of which are actually copies and fakes and Victorian pastiches.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21This has got signs of wear and ageing you'd expect.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25It should be right so I think £30 to £50 is probably about where it's at.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Laidlaw, the canny one, paid £65.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31We shall see IF the team decide to go with it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37First up for them is the theatre poster.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's a piece of memorabilia, ephemera.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43There's not a bad market for that sort of thing.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49We've put £30 to £50 on it because it's all relating of course to the Lyceum, the Theatre Royal.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55Well, David Barby's the ultimate Bargain Hunt theatrical personality and he only paid £10 for it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59So, the 1950s bracelet, charm bracelet.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01No girl was without one of these.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05There's quite a bit of silver there and the majority of its value lies within the weight of the silver.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- How much?- £30 to £50.- £22 paid.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- That sounds good.- Tracey found that, she's absolutely chuffed.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- She also found not one, but two pine items.- Not bad little things.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Very much interior design-friendly pieces, original paint work.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- £80 to £120 for the pair. - They paid £145.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28That inevitably means they are going to need their bonus buy, so, let's go and have a look at it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I wanted something colourful. - What a shocker!
0:20:31 > 0:20:38It might be a shocker, Tim, colour-wise but this is quite an early chair.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40There's a pair of them.
0:20:40 > 0:20:46And these chairs I think date back fairly, fairly early.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I mean they could be about 1700, couldn't they?
0:20:49 > 0:20:541700 and then somebody has painted them this wonderful kaleidoscope of colours.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- There's a pair of them for £30.- £30.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Bonus.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05I can see somebody stripping them down and taking them back to their original wood.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Underneath here is probably a nice patination.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Well, I think you've done extraordinarily well there, David.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13And for the viewers at home,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the painted chairs.
0:21:17 > 0:21:2117th century children's chairs nice original solid construction.
0:21:21 > 0:21:28English oak but at some point in the 20th century someone's had a bit of a dabble with a lick of paint on it.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33I think the fact that they are a pair of period children's chairs will sell them anyway
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and for that reason I've put £70 to £100 on them, purely for the chairs.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38£30 paid.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Good buy, I'd suggest. - That's £15 a chair.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- No money.- I can't believe Barby has stolen them for £15 a chair.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Anyway brilliant, very exciting, depending on whether the team goes
0:21:48 > 0:21:51with these chairs and we will find out about that in a moment.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Good luck on the rostrum. - Thank you.- Thank you so much.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Are you feeling nervous at all?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- No, I'm all right.- Are you all right, are you quietly confident?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yeah, a little bit.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10First lot up is the spinning wheel.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Let's see if it's going to weave you a profit?
0:22:12 > 0:22:18Lot number 80A is a nice little Georgian mahogany spinning wheel.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Where are we going to go? £40 for it, no money really for a nice little
0:22:22 > 0:22:25period piece, little Georgian one for £40...
0:22:25 > 0:22:30£40 anywhere? 30... £30 anywhere, at £30...
0:22:30 > 0:22:34surely, say £20. Who'll start the ball rolling at £20?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Anyone, thank you sir, £20 I'm bid, in the room at £20.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Any advance on 20?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44He's struggling,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- this is just awful.- At £20...
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I'm selling.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50That's disappointing.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53At £20 you're minus eight. That's not right really.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- No, it's not.- I think he's got himself a bargain there.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Got a nice little Art Deco Bush Bakelite radio.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04£30 for it. Can I say £30... 25...?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06£20 to start me. 20.
0:23:06 > 0:23:0815. Thank you, 15.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Hands everywhere now, are you bidding madam? 16 with you and 18 sir.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Oh.- 20... five...
0:23:14 > 0:23:1925 with you. 30, madam, 25 against you. At £25...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22with the gent, all done at 25...
0:23:22 > 0:23:25£25, wiped its face. Well done, Paul.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It was a struggle to get to that.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Hard, yes.- That was.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Lot 82A, Chad Valley Escalado horse racing game, there.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Not a lot of money, 25... if you like, £20 then.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39£20 one for the family.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Come on.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44£20 anywhere...
0:23:44 > 0:23:4718, 15 if you like, 20 I'm bid online.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Thank you.- £20 bid online.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50God bless the internet.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- Thank goodness for the internet because they are not interested here are they?- No.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And he's sold it, look...
0:23:57 > 0:24:01for £20. That is plus £5. Overall, darling, you're minus £3,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04which is pretty silly really, isn't it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:11You only spent £68. Your policy was to spend as little as possible and you only made a loss of £3.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14That could be a winning score all right.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19You could park it, you needn't go with the bonus buy, you don't have to please Paul.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22You'll be all right, trust your man.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Are you a girl who, as they say, likes to take a punt?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Oh, I'll go with the bonus buy.
0:24:28 > 0:24:3286a now is the antique bronze axe head. We've had a good look at it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We are pretty sure it is right and period,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36so you can buy with confidence, if that helps.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Where are we going to go? - I can start on a commission bid with me here at £30.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43anyone else in the room coming in. 30... I've got. five... 40... five...
0:24:43 > 0:24:4550... five... 60... five... 70...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48You're in profit.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50five... 80... 85... £90...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52back with me. £90.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Good period piece. 90 I have.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56With me £90...
0:24:56 > 0:24:58all finished, all done. 95, 100, sir.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00100 against you, are you going to go 110?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03It might be worth one more. 100... I've got.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06The bid's with me at £100, all finished, all done, last chance.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10At 100 I'm selling.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15- £100, you are...- I trusted you all along.- ..plus £35.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19You are plus £35 on that, how wonderful is that, which means overall you are plus £32.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Fantastic.- £32 worth of profit.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26What a struggle and well done, Paul.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Well, done, fantastic.- The big trick now is don't say a word to anyone.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- No, I won't.- OK mum's the word. - Yes, it is.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Perfect, jolly good. Well done.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Now, Ben and Tracey, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I haven't got a clue.- No clue. - Lovely, that's the way we like to keep it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47First up is the poster, here it is.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Lot 105a is a nice little bit of advertising ephemera memorabilia here.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Nice early one this. A bit of interest in it, nothing too heavy.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Can start the bidding with me on the book here at £15...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- £15 straight in.- That's it covered.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Any advance on £15... 16...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I'll take madam. 18... 20...
0:26:07 > 0:26:1122 on the book. £22 on the book. Anyone else coming in?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I'll take £25... anywhere.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- The bid's £22...- Come on.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19All done at £22, I'm selling for sure. Last chance.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23We've got an internet bid came in just at the last second,
0:26:23 > 0:26:24I will take that.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27£25 I've got online.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Oh, £25 online.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33Bid online, £25. Just sneaked in there, £25... are we all finished, no-one else.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35It's your last chance this time.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38At £25, if you're sure.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41That bid came through online at the last moment.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Shall we hang around for a bit longer?- You've got to love it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Don't rush it. - Next is the bracelet, here we go.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52Lot 106a, a silver charm bracelet with 17 charms.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55There we go a pretty lot this, some might say charming.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Where are we going to go? £30 for it. £20. Thank you madam,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- £20 bid in the room.- They've started.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Any advance on 20? 20, I have.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Come on.- Anyone else coming in, I'll take 22.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Last chance at 20...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I can't believe that.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12£20 that's minus £2, that's bad luck.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Here we go with the pine chest and wash stand.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Lot 107, A Victorian grained and painted pine bedroom pair,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22good interior decorator's lot I suspect.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25£80 if you will, worth that and more I would think.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26£60...
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Come on.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Surely, someone's coming in at £40.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37At £40, two pieces of period Victorian pine.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43- It's the wrong section.- Thank you. £40 I'm bid. £40... and five, anyone?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46£40 I have to my right, £40 only.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Last chance, make no mistake, at £40 I'm selling.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Oh, that's ridiculous.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Minus £105.- Can't believe that.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59I can't believe that. You'd get that just the chest of drawers £140 in some shops. That's ridiculous.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Overall you're minus £92. So are you going to go with the bonus buy or not?
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- We are going to go with it.- We are. - We are going to have to go with it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13Lot number 111a, the pair of 17th century oak children's chairs,
0:28:13 > 0:28:17with later painted decoration.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19111a then, where are we going to go,
0:28:19 > 0:28:2217th century chairs alone got to be worth £60...
0:28:22 > 0:28:27I'd have thought for the pair. 60... 50... 40... if you will. £40... somewhere at £40.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32- Anybody. - £30... £30... only for them. 30...
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I'll take, thank you. At £30... bid.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, 17th century chairs.
0:28:39 > 0:28:4217th century chairs.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43You're all sure, I'm selling at £30...
0:28:43 > 0:28:45top bid I've got to let them go.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- Oh, dear, dear. - Right £30, that's wiped its face.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52So, there's another optimistic...
0:28:52 > 0:28:54which has bitten the dust.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I think you're very sporting.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59The thing is that minus £92 could be a winning score.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01It could, you never know.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03It could be a winning score.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Gosh! So unlucky for the Blues, who made a loss of £92,
0:29:06 > 0:29:12making the Reds the winners, as remember, they made a profit of £32.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Coming up, two more teams go on the hunt for bargains.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20But first, I'm off to somewhere... well, just special.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Looking at this courtyard
0:29:26 > 0:29:31you'd be forgiven for thinking that I'd taken a mini break in Italy,
0:29:31 > 0:29:32in the winter.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39In fact, I'm in Cheshire, North West England, at Lyme Park
0:29:39 > 0:29:44and this rather curious continental arrangement of architecture
0:29:44 > 0:29:48lies at the heart of a Tudor house
0:29:48 > 0:29:50that's been evolving since the Middle Ages.
0:29:56 > 0:30:04And here, in the drawing room, we have got a delicious amalgam of elements coming together.
0:30:04 > 0:30:12A 17th century style plaster work ceiling, very bright and breezy stained glass, some of which dates
0:30:12 > 0:30:16from the medieval period, and of course this wonderful
0:30:16 > 0:30:21all enveloping wainscot panelling running all around the room.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26But one of the most seriously, seriously good treasures is up above.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29You've got it, it's the chandelier.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Most stately homes that you visit have light fittings like this
0:30:34 > 0:30:37that are made of metal and usually they are 19th century.
0:30:37 > 0:30:44But this thing dates from the middle of the 18th century and is entirely made out of wood.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48We have got basically 12 candle holders, each with scrolling arms,
0:30:48 > 0:30:54and each of those scrolling arms have been exquisitely crafted in the rococo manner.
0:30:54 > 0:31:03The lower part though is united by this circular section here which is called lambrequin carving,
0:31:03 > 0:31:09where you get these little lappet-like rabbit ear projections and at
0:31:09 > 0:31:17the bottom of each of the lambrequin are these odd-ball tassels, all carved out of wood.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22So, who is the maker do you think of this delicious object?
0:31:22 > 0:31:27Well, I suspect it's none other than Thomas Chippendale.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Meanwhile, back at Newark,
0:31:28 > 0:31:32will our next two teams shed any light on a few bargains?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Time to meet our new pairs of Reds and Blues.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39So today, for the Reds, we've got father and daughter,
0:31:39 > 0:31:44George and Krista, and partners Lee and James for the Blues.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Welcome, everybody, lovely to see you.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- So, George, you have a passion for antiques, don't you?- I do, yes.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- I collect Whitefriars glass, Powell...- Powell as well, yeah.
0:31:54 > 0:32:00And we've got some dating from about 1877 right through the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s up to Baxter.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01You go as far as Baxter?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Yeah. Anything and everything.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Let's hope you find some.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- Thank you.- Fingers crossed.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Is your father an inspiration to you, Krista?
0:32:09 > 0:32:15He is, yes, certainly in the areas of antiques and collectibles, and he's passed a few pieces on to me...
0:32:15 > 0:32:17A lot of tips, we hope.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Yeah, absolutely. Hopefully they'll be useful today.
0:32:20 > 0:32:26- And you had a brush with television in the past?- Yeah, I auditioned for The Big Breakfast weather presenter.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30I was probably about 17 and queued for six hours, six or seven hours,
0:32:30 > 0:32:37- outside of Earls Court, and then went in and completely fluffed the audition...- Oh, no!
0:32:37 > 0:32:41I put the sun where the clouds should be and the rain where the sun should be.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Yeah, it didn't go very well. - Oh, dear. So that was it, then?
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- No, not famous.- No more telly presenting work for you.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- That's it, no.- I hope you have better luck today. Thank you.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57Although it's looking rather grey. Whether we'll be lucky with the weather, I don't know,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59and I feel rather, kind of, damp myself.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Anyway, you guys - are you scared or not?
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- No, we're ready. We're ready. - You're ready for them.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Very good. How did you two meet, Lee?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11We met through friends of friends. We were at the same birthday meal,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15got talking, ended up swapping numbers and the rest is history.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Lovely. And do you collect?
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Well, it wasn't an intentional collection but my dad
0:33:21 > 0:33:25took me to football matches so I'm quite a big Stockport County fan,
0:33:25 > 0:33:31so I've had a collection of football programmes building up for quite a few years.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Now, Jimmy, what do you do?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35I'm a sexual health nurse advisor.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Ooh, God. What does that mean?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40We go along to pubs and clubs and we do some screening,
0:33:40 > 0:33:44we do education in schools and colleges and the main thing we do
0:33:44 > 0:33:46is chlamydia testing on people under 25.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Gosh, that sounds painful!
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Now, this is the money moment.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52We've got £300 here, £300 coming up. All right, ready for this?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55There's your £300, £300 apiece. You know the rules.
0:33:55 > 0:34:01Your experts await, and off you go. And very, very, very good luck.
0:34:01 > 0:34:07So, with our experts on hand, our teams have one hour and £300 to find their three items.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11First up, this bed table has caught George's eye, but is the price right?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- There's a price on it. - 140. Aye, it's enough money at that.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- If you could get it for 60 quid, I'd be going for it. I'll ask.- Yeah.
0:34:20 > 0:34:26With the seller away from his stall, it's down to his apprentice to act as the middle man.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- What are you thinking of about?- 60?
0:34:28 > 0:34:30No, he can't do that much.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31He'd do 120, he said.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Do me a favour. At the risk of being really irritating, ask him
0:34:34 > 0:34:38if there's any way on God's Earth he could do it for 80 quid.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41It's just that it cost him not much less than that so...
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Oh, aye, aye, aye. - Can you do any better than that?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Yeah? Oh, right. Right.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50He says he'll do it for 100.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55100... Er...
0:34:55 > 0:34:58If you ask again, you'll get it for 80 quid.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- What do you think? It's quirky as hell.- It is, yeah.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- It's a full-on piece of Victorian furniture.- It's quite nice.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09I'd go in at 80-120 as my estimate on that. It's got to be worth that.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Ask him... Bat your eyelids and say, "Look, at 80 quid, it's..."
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Go on, Dad, bat your eyelids!
0:35:15 > 0:35:17It'll have to be 100. He can't do any less than that.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Ask him if he'd do another tenner, and I know he's taking pain,
0:35:20 > 0:35:24but...they're going to take more pain on national TV!
0:35:24 > 0:35:27It'll be a brown paper bag job for me, I can tell you!
0:35:27 > 0:35:32I'll ask him. He might knock a fiver off, but he might just stick at 100.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Right. See ya.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- He says he'll knock you a fiver off that.- A fiver off - 95.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43Well, I think it's worth 80-120 so you're right in the middle.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Yeah, yeah... - OK, I think...- We'll take it? 95.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48- OK, yeah.- We'll go for it, yeah.
0:35:48 > 0:35:54Some very persuasive negotiating by the Red team means they bagged their first item in 20 minutes.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Negotiating, I think, is all about just asking civilly, you know.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Where is the happy ground where we both benefit?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I think they've done all right.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Meanwhile, David's getting down and dirty with the Blues.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- I think it's art glass.- Right.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12And if I look through the side,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15you can see it's got these little bubbles.
0:36:15 > 0:36:21It's something you might find from sort of the Monart factory which I think is quite nice.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- It's different, isn't it?- It is.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25It's filthy!
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Absolutely filthy. Let's see.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31What's the price there?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- How much?- Yes.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- It's filthy.- I know it is, yeah.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38That's how it came out. Tenner?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Five.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Go on, yeah, OK.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Hold it.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- What do you think, Lee? - Different.- It is.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55I've not seen anything like it. What's the green...?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58It's just dirt, I think!
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Oh, wow, look at that once it's clean!
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Yes.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- OK?- Yeah, let's go for it.- £5. - It'll be your job to clean. OK.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09I think it has possibilities, that one.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Blimey! Yours for a fiver?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Don't go too mad with your money, will you, David?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- That's quite nice. Nice colours. - That's a Moorcroft.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Yeah, it's quite nice. - Nice wee bowl.- It's a pansy.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- How much is on it?- 30.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- There's nothing the matter with that, is there?- Elegant, it's nice.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34That's got to be worth 20-40, 50 if you're lucky,
0:37:34 > 0:37:37so it's about right, but squeeze it down a little?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40OK, give it a go.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42(Obviously doing a lot here.)
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- Yeah, you see loads of it on this programme.- Willing to do it for 25.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- It's 30 at the moment, so... - What do you think?
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- I think we just think about it and come back later.- Yeah.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- It's always an option at the end of the day.- See what else there is.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Call back later, that's if it's still here. Keep looking?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00All right, then. Great, thanks.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Always a risky strategy.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04It might just not be there when you come back.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Do you like that?- Yeah, I like that.
0:38:14 > 0:38:20If anybody asked me what to collect, I'd suggest they collect Portmeirion pottery
0:38:20 > 0:38:24because it's still fairly plentiful and it's such marvellous designs.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29That I like. I think that's very, very present, and the cups are big,
0:38:29 > 0:38:33but you're looking at very stylish, iconic 1950s, 60s.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36That sort of period. Can you do it for 35, please?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- That one there?- Yeah.- Yeah, go on.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- £35?- Yes.- You sure?- Yes. - Fantastic.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48James and Lee have bought two items but, with only 20 minutes to go,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51the Reds have still only bought one thing.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53The clock's ticking, team. No time for a tea-break.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- Dad?- What's your immediate reaction to that as a piece of design?
0:38:57 > 0:39:02- Yeah, it's very nice.- If you've an eye for 20th-century glass, you can see the quality in that.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04It's called Picquot Ware,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06immediate post-war period.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10It's got a few more scratches on it, this one, but that's age, isn't it?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12What strikes me is the burnish on it. That is really sharp.
0:39:12 > 0:39:18These things, when they're abused, they oxidise and they're a lost cause. That is really sharp.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19And the tray's OK, isn't it?
0:39:19 > 0:39:24- Excuse me, what's your best on the...?- 25, darling.- 25?
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Yeah, that is my best. - What are you thinking, Krista?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29I was thinking about 15.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- No, no way.- She's hard, our Krista.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- No, 25's the absolute best.- OK.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- OK. Thank you. - 25, thank you very much.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40£25 for the tea set and the Reds have two items in the bag.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Now, have the Blues found their final item?
0:39:43 > 0:39:48- What's the price on that one? - The price underneath... - That one.- Yeah.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50£165.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- I'd like to see those well under 100.- OK.- Right.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Excuse me, sir.- Excuse me.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- How much can you do on the bookends? A really good price for us.- 145.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Too much.- Too much. No?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Is that the very best you can do - £145?
0:40:06 > 0:40:07140, then.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12No, I think there's profit at that and I have to make a living. They're not dear.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Shall we take a chance on 140? What do you think?
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- Yes.- Yeah, think so? - Yeah, I willing to go for it.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22I hope they're going to make a profit,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25if not sell for what we paid for them.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Cheer up, David, at least the Blues have all three items!
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Krista and George have just 60 seconds left and have decided
0:40:33 > 0:40:36to go for the little Moorcroft vase they saw earlier,
0:40:36 > 0:40:39but no-one can remember where it is.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Where the hell was the Moorcroft?!
0:40:41 > 0:40:46- D...427, I think it was.- Was it?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Dad, what about here?
0:40:49 > 0:40:54- Do you want a map?- Might be an idea if you've got a spare one.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56We've just got to buy something now.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Is this your stall? Do you mind... Is this yours?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- How much is this? - No, we can't do that, Kris.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- Can't do that. - We've just got to buy something!
0:41:05 > 0:41:08We've got to find the Moorcroft.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Five...
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Are we left here?
0:41:12 > 0:41:13- No.- Or was it this row?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15I think it was the row up at the top, wasn't it?
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- Four...- We've got to run. Oh, no!
0:41:19 > 0:41:25- Three...- Down here.- It was down on the right, wasn't it? Quite far.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29- Two... - He's off like a whippet!
0:41:30 > 0:41:32One...
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Just in the nick of time, the Reds nab the Moorcroft vase,
0:41:36 > 0:41:42but with no time for negotiating, they pocket it for £25.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- I quite like it. - Drinking out the cup!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46The cup of hope.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Time's up. Let's see how the Reds got on.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54The Reds were well-read with this red...
0:41:54 > 0:41:57sorry, brown reading table at £95.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00The Picquot Ware tea-set set them back £25.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03And they needed a map to find the Moorcroft bowl
0:42:03 > 0:42:06just in the nick of time.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Cor, talk about headless chickens and last-minute action!
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Yeah. - That was ridiculous with you two.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- It was hard going.- I think you peaked early, that's what it was.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19We peaked very late, actually, cos I think we broke the four-minute mile record.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Well, anyway, well done, and you got your third item which is brilliant.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Absolutely.- And you managed to spend how much?- £145.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- You spent £145.- Yeah.- Brilliant.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33- So I'd like £155, please. - Yeah, got that here.- There we go, £155. No need to count it.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- You're an honest-looking girl. - Thank you.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37So 155, Paul. Is that going to be a challenge?
0:42:37 > 0:42:42I think not, given the scope we have here. Get my bargain radar out.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Yes, go and look up a few chums!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47No. Anyway, very good luck with that.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Why don't we check out exactly what the Blues are doing?
0:42:50 > 0:42:53They had a much more leisurely shop,
0:42:53 > 0:42:57starting with this dirty great vase at a measly £5.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01This stylish 1950s coffee set set them back £35,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04and although David wasn't impressed,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07they paid £140 for the Mouseman bookends.
0:43:07 > 0:43:12- You spent how much? - We spent £180?- Yes. - So you've got £120, yes?
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- £120.- £120 goes to David Barby.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16What have you got in mind, David?
0:43:16 > 0:43:19I have something in mind. I can't say too much cos it'll give it away.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- Oh, will it?- Yes.- We don't want anything given away.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Particularly when you've got £120 to spend.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28Anyway, off you trot, David, and good luck!
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Well, we've come flitting over the Pennines
0:43:38 > 0:43:42to the flat plains of Cheshire to Frank Marshall & Co in Knutsford
0:43:42 > 0:43:45where we are with auctioneer Nick Hall.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- Nick, good morning.- Welcome, Tim. - Very nice to see you.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52Good. Now, the Red team, Krista and George, their first item
0:43:52 > 0:43:56with Paul Laidlaw was this adjustable Victorian bed table.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00Not perhaps the most saleable bit of Victorian furniture, what?
0:44:00 > 0:44:04They used to make a lot of money, used to be very popular things but, of course,
0:44:04 > 0:44:08with a lot of this late-Victorian brown furniture, it's dwindled.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12One or two condition problems, I think, might hamper it slightly.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16- So what do you think it's worth, Nick?- Well, we've put £100-£150.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20Good. Well, our team will be delighted cos they only paid £95. That would be a result.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24Now, what about this brushed aluminium Picquot Ware tea-set?
0:44:24 > 0:44:26Mmm, it's a difficult thing to sell.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29There's no great collectors, it's not a particularly well-known name
0:44:29 > 0:44:33in the collecting field of post-war modern decorative design.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- How much, then?- We've put £20 on it.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38- 20 to what?- 20-40 to be kind.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42- Oh, that's nice. £25 they paid.- OK. - And what about the Moorcroft bowl?
0:44:42 > 0:44:47You can't go wrong with Moorcroft. It's not early in date.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49£40-£60 we've got against it.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- That's very good. £25 they paid. - There should be a profit in that.
0:44:52 > 0:44:57Good. So a sure-fire profit perhaps on the Moorcroft,
0:44:57 > 0:44:59a little bit dodgy on the Picquot tea-set
0:44:59 > 0:45:03and maybe they'll wipe their face on the Victorian bed table
0:45:03 > 0:45:07which adds up to almost certainly needing their bonus buy,
0:45:07 > 0:45:09so let's go and have a look at it.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- Does that tickle your fancy? - That's quite nice.- Yeah.
0:45:14 > 0:45:21It's a kind of dull colour but what sold it to me entirely is the mould.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25What an absolutely delicious acanthus-cum-thistle-like design.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29- That's the way to view it. What do you think of that design, Krista? - I think it's nice,
0:45:29 > 0:45:33quite pretty and, although you don't like the colour, I think it's quite nice.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35- What do you think, Dad?- I like it.
0:45:35 > 0:45:40There's a couple of little dinks in it, but it depends how much you paid for it, Paul.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44- I paid £10 for that.- Mmm.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46And how much do you think it will make?
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Anywhere, it's going to make £30, maybe £40.
0:45:49 > 0:45:53Now, don't decide now, decide after the sale of the first three items,
0:45:53 > 0:45:57but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's bowl.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Obviously it's copying Lalique.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03I suspect it's made by another big Paris glass-maker of the time,
0:46:03 > 0:46:07Sabino, Etling, one of that type. It's a nice piece of inexpensive Deco glass.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Ought to make £20-£30. Should do, really.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Paul Laidlaw will be delighted about that.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16- He paid a £10 note, which is what we call a bonus buy.- Excellent.
0:46:16 > 0:46:20Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues,
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- and first up for them is that Scottish globular pink vase.- Mmm.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25What do you make of that?
0:46:25 > 0:46:29Very globular. It's trying desperately hard to be Monart but it's far too late.
0:46:29 > 0:46:34It's not got the typical ground pontil mark you expect with the earlier Scottish art glass.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37- This has got to be post-war. We put £20-£40 on it.- Really?
0:46:37 > 0:46:40- Yeah.- Well, they paid a fiver.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43For £5 it wasn't a bad buy if the right buyer's in the room,
0:46:43 > 0:46:47but it just won't appeal to the Scottish art glass buyers.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50- Next up is the coffee set.- Yes. - Well, that's pure 60s, isn't it?
0:46:50 > 0:46:54Very much so. Yeah, Portmeirion, Susan Ellis.
0:46:54 > 0:46:59It's not one of the desirable patterns but it's an OK name.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03Not too bad. There will be collectors looking at it at £30-£50.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06I suspect the lower end will probably be more in tune with it.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08That would be brilliant cos £35 is all they paid.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10What about the oak bookends?
0:47:10 > 0:47:12Yeah, Robert Thompson, the Mouseman, always collectible.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14There's always buyers for it.
0:47:14 > 0:47:20Date-wise, it's not an early piece of Mouseman, but they are very nice, commercial-friendly pieces.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23We've gone for a mouse-friendly £60-£100.
0:47:23 > 0:47:28- Oh. £140 they paid.- That's at a retail price, isn't it?- Yes, I know.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32If two collectors get stuck into it... They've just bought a nice set of books
0:47:32 > 0:47:36and they want some Mouseman bookends, then they might pay that and a bit more for it but...
0:47:36 > 0:47:40- Strictly speaking, your real estimate is £60-£100 and that's fine.- Yeah.
0:47:40 > 0:47:46Very good. Overall, I fancy they'll need their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:47:46 > 0:47:51So, Lee and James, you spent £180, you gave David Barby £120 to buy
0:47:51 > 0:47:54your bonus buy, and he's got it there set out on the table.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57- Well, it's not a cake, Tim. - It's not a cake.- Ah!
0:47:57 > 0:48:03Ah, well, this is from a Dutch barge and this is from the wheelhouse
0:48:03 > 0:48:06to the engine room below, and you can...
0:48:06 > 0:48:07BELL RINGS
0:48:07 > 0:48:11Stop, move, halt, goodness knows what?
0:48:11 > 0:48:17This is so decorative. It cost £80 but I think it was very, very reasonable.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20- And our chances today? - If there's enough people here
0:48:20 > 0:48:23that are interested in this type of decorative object,
0:48:23 > 0:48:26- I think you could probably go over the £100 mark.- Fantastic.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28And very unusual. Well done, David.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30- Thank you. - You're testing the auction house.
0:48:30 > 0:48:35But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's ship's telegraph.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38I suspect he might well be sinking without a trace.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40It's an obscure thing.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42Will there be buyers for it? I've got my doubts.
0:48:42 > 0:48:47There are serious marine collectors knocking about, but who wants this in Dutch?
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Well, I'm hoping that someone from overseas might pick up on it.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54- Like a Dutchman?- Ideally. - That would be great, wouldn't it?
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- It would help, I think we'll struggle otherwise.- What's your estimate?
0:48:57 > 0:48:59- £30-£50.- Barby paid 80. - Pounds or euros?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- Doesn't make much difference these days!- Not a lot.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Thank you very much. Are you taking the auction?
0:49:04 > 0:49:07- I am indeed. - Ah, we're in safe hands.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Now, you two, how are you feeling?
0:49:15 > 0:49:19- Hopeful.- Hopeful. - Nervous.- Why are you nervous?
0:49:19 > 0:49:23- Excited, borderline nervous. - We're putting all our trust in Paul.
0:49:23 > 0:49:28- Does that mean you'll be blaming him when it all goes wrong?- Probably!
0:49:28 > 0:49:33Well, first up is going to be the Victorian adjustable bed table, right?
0:49:33 > 0:49:37- Yes, the reading table. - Bed table.- Bed table. OK, Tim.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41Call it reading table if you like, but they were made as bed tables.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44OK. Here it comes.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Lot 130A, the Victorian mahogany adjustable reading table.
0:49:48 > 0:49:5060? £60 if you will, please.
0:49:50 > 0:49:55- 50? 40? We're going the wrong way! - It's all right, get it started.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57Someone somewhere at £40? Can you not hear me?
0:49:57 > 0:50:00A Victorian mahogany adjustable reading table
0:50:00 > 0:50:02with a Landers maker's stamp. Are you bidding, madam?
0:50:02 > 0:50:05£20. That hurts me, madam, but I'll take it.
0:50:05 > 0:50:06I think we're doomed!
0:50:06 > 0:50:0825 online. Are you still in, madam?
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Worth a lot more and you know it.
0:50:10 > 0:50:1230, new bidder stepping in.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Are you bidding online?
0:50:14 > 0:50:16It's £30 in the room. Bidding online?
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Not even a flicker.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22At £30 in the room. I think we're there, we're done at £30.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25All we'll get today... 35, there's a late bid coming in.
0:50:25 > 0:50:2740 I have. Back in the room again at £40...
0:50:27 > 0:50:29He's good though. He's keeping them going.
0:50:29 > 0:50:33At 45, I think we're there. I think we've exhausted it.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35At £45... 50, online bid.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37Two of them want in it.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39It's not dear at 50.
0:50:39 > 0:50:4350 I'm selling, last chance. Make no mistake, at £50...
0:50:43 > 0:50:48Ah, he's sold it for 50. Well, there we go, it got better and better.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Only minus £45.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53- I don't feel so bad about that, do you?- We'll get it back.
0:50:53 > 0:50:54That's the attitude George!
0:50:54 > 0:51:00Lot 131A is a four-piece Picquot Ware chrome tea service.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02What are we going to say? £20 for it? 20 I'm offered.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05- Good at 20.- Get it started.
0:51:05 > 0:51:0720 in at the start. 5 anywhere do I hear?
0:51:07 > 0:51:10Anyone else coming in? 25? New bidder by the doorway.
0:51:10 > 0:51:1430, 5, 40, 5. At £45, straight at
0:51:14 > 0:51:16the back in the doorway. I'm selling.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19All done, last chance at £45...
0:51:19 > 0:51:23£45, that's OK. £45 is plus £20
0:51:23 > 0:51:26which means you're only minus £25. We're clawing it back here.
0:51:26 > 0:51:30Lot 132A is a little piece of Moorcroft this time.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33This small pansy-pattern pin bowl.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35£40, no money. Thank you, madam.
0:51:35 > 0:51:39- Straight in at 40.- It is Moorcroft. 5, anyone? Bidding online.
0:51:39 > 0:51:40There's a flicker. 45.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Internet bid at 45.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45- Coming in at 50...- Yes!
0:51:45 > 0:51:50Bid's in the room at £50, and 5, sir? Thank you. 55 with you.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53- Fantastic!- And it's 60 against you with the lady.
0:51:53 > 0:51:56At 60 I'm selling if you're all finished...
0:51:56 > 0:51:59£60. Well, that's very good, isn't it?
0:51:59 > 0:52:02- Not bad at all.- £65. That's plus £35
0:52:02 > 0:52:05which wipes out your minus £25, which means you're plus £10.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07Ooh!
0:52:07 > 0:52:11We are in such a jammy profit arrangement.
0:52:11 > 0:52:16I mean, that started off so badly, didn't it, with that ruddy table.
0:52:16 > 0:52:21- Now, listen. Thanks to Krista, you have £10 in cash...- Well done.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24..which could be a winning score.
0:52:24 > 0:52:30You don't have to risk that £10 on the glass bowl, but it's up to you.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33- What do you think?- It cost a tenner! Of course it'll make money!
0:52:33 > 0:52:36- I want to stick.- You want to stick? - Because we're going to...
0:52:36 > 0:52:40- You're going to what, Dad?- I think we'll stick.- What do you mean? Are you not going for the bowl?
0:52:40 > 0:52:43- OK, we'll go, then. - Go with the bowl. Go with the bowl.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46Very good. Here comes the glass bowl and here we go.
0:52:46 > 0:52:52Lot 136A, a bit of Art Deco glassware this time. The amber-coloured bowl.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55Where are we going to go? £20? £20 if you like for it.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Nice bit of Art Deco glassware. Good colouring, nice moulding.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01£20 only. 18? 15?
0:53:01 > 0:53:04Not going to make me beg, are you? 15?
0:53:04 > 0:53:05Start me at 10, get it away.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08- Nice bit of Art Deco glass... - You're kidding me!
0:53:08 > 0:53:11It's not looking good.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13Thank you, 10 I'm offered. Any further bid on £10?
0:53:13 > 0:53:17Are we all done at £10? Are you sure? Last chance.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19- At 10 I'm selling. It's going...- £10.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22- Thank God!- £10, wiped its face.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Right, no profit, no loss, no shame.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26I can't believe how cheap that was, but there we are.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30We're out of trouble. We're back in a plus-10 situation
0:53:30 > 0:53:33which seriously, you guys, could be a winning score.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35Thank you very much. Excellent.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38Well, father and daughter just about made it through the auction
0:53:38 > 0:53:41in one piece and clung on to their profit.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43Let's hope the Blues can survive as well.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48- OK, boys. Now, do you know how the Reds got on?- No idea.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51- No idea.- You don't want to know either, I tell you.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55- Now, first up is going to be your Scottish globular pink vase.- Yes.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58Found by David, £5 paid for that.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01- Bargain.- Here it comes. - Lot 155A...
0:54:01 > 0:54:04It's lovely. Clean, bright, fantastic.
0:54:04 > 0:54:09A 20th-century coloured glass vase, a bit of Scottish art glass.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11- This'll do well, this'll do well. - £20 for it?
0:54:11 > 0:54:12£20? Anywhere at £20? 18?
0:54:12 > 0:54:1515? 10 will start me.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19- Oh, come on.- £10 to start me.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21- Somewhere, £10?- No?
0:54:21 > 0:54:22Surely a tenner's worth.
0:54:22 > 0:54:255 I'm bid. Thank you.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28- Come on, bid!- Any advance on £5?
0:54:28 > 0:54:30Are you all done for a fiver?
0:54:30 > 0:54:31- No!- At 5 I'm selling.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34- Oh, no!- All finished? At £5 it's going.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37- £5 sold.- That's ridiculous.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39Well, no shame, no gain.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42- Wiped its face for £5.- Lot 156A is the Portmeirion coffee service.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46This is by Susan Williams Ellis, a complete service.
0:54:46 > 0:54:50- Where are we going to go? £30? - Yes, come on.- 25? £20?
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Thank you, madam. 20 I'm bid. Lady seated at 20. And 5, anyone?
0:54:53 > 0:54:57With you at 20. Anyone else? Are you all done? 5 online.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00- One more go.- Come on!- One more go.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03At 25 against you. At 25, selling...
0:55:03 > 0:55:06£25, maiden bid on the internet.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09That is minus £10. That's not right.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12- OK, now, the bookends.- Come on!
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Keep everything crossed for these.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17Lot 157A, nice little collector's lot.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20This is the Robert Thompson Mouseman solid oak bookends.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23We've got commission bids. Not dear but I've got commission bids.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26Start me at 35 for the bookends. Any advance on 35?
0:55:26 > 0:55:2840 I'm bid. 45.

0:55:33 > 0:55:34And 5, new bidder.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36Still in, sir? 55 against you.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39- Madam? 60 on the end. - Come on, keep going!
0:55:39 > 0:55:46At 70, 5, 80, 5, 90, 5... 95, gent seated bang in the centre.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49£95. New bidder at 100. Fresh bid at £100.
0:55:49 > 0:55:53110, £120. At 120 I'm bid.
0:55:53 > 0:55:56All done at £120? All sure?
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Oh, blast it! £120.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Well, it got on with it, James. You must be pleased about that.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05- It's a loss of £20. - Against all expectations!
0:56:05 > 0:56:10- And there's nothing to be proud about any losses, of course, but it did well.- Yeah.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13What are we going to do about the barge mechanical connector?
0:56:13 > 0:56:16- Leave it.- You're going to leave it or go with it?
0:56:16 > 0:56:18- We're going to leave it. - Definitely going to leave it?
0:56:18 > 0:56:21Well, we're going to sell it anyway. Here it comes.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24- Doesn't it look lovely? - Lot 161A, an unusual lot.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27This is the early £20-century Dutch ship's telegraph.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29Where are we going to go? £30 for it?
0:56:29 > 0:56:33£20? 15? 10 will start. £10 for it. Thank you, sir.
0:56:33 > 0:56:3710 I'm bid, and 12 against you. 12 I've taken. 15 with you? 15 offered.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40Still in, sir, at 18? Thank you, 18 bid. Any advance on £18. 20.
0:56:40 > 0:56:45It's not going to get to 80. There's no way it's going to get to 80.
0:56:45 > 0:56:4820 against you. 22 I'm bid. And 5? Thank you. 25 on the phone.
0:56:48 > 0:56:52He's got Rotterdam on the phone.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55All done at £25? At 25, selling...
0:56:55 > 0:56:59- £25.- That was a good move.
0:56:59 > 0:57:02That is a narrow squeak at minus £55. That's all right.
0:57:02 > 0:57:07So, as it is, you have ring-fenced your losses at minus £30.
0:57:07 > 0:57:13- Minus £30 could be a winning score, all right, so don't say a thing to the Reds.- OK.- Bravo.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26- So have you guys been chatting at all? Communicating?- No.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Kept everything very quiet?
0:57:28 > 0:57:33- So you genuinely have no idea who is the winner and who is the runner-up today?- No.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35No? We don't have losers any more.
0:57:35 > 0:57:37Not on Bargain Hunt we don't, anyway.
0:57:37 > 0:57:41So I have something to reveal here, and it is of serious import.
0:57:41 > 0:57:45Both teams had a couple of wiped faces,
0:57:45 > 0:57:48- but sadly, the runners-up today are the Blues.- Ohh!
0:57:48 > 0:57:53Minus £30 overall. Are you upset about that?
0:57:53 > 0:57:56- We've had a good day and we've enjoyed it.- You had a bit of fun?
0:57:56 > 0:57:58- We have indeed. - That's the main thing, isn't it?
0:57:58 > 0:58:00But the victors today,
0:58:00 > 0:58:02going home with a £10 note...!
0:58:04 > 0:58:07Not a vast fortune but at least you can count it.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11- Are you pleased about that, Krista? - Very pleased.- How about you, George?
0:58:11 > 0:58:14- That's OK, yes.- That's typical, you checking it, isn't it?
0:58:14 > 0:58:18No, seriously, jolly good. The victors today on Bargain Hunt, and congratulations.
0:58:18 > 0:58:22- And join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes?- Yes!
