We're at the auction house which is raring to go. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
But before our teams make it here, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
the first thing in hand to do is a spot of antique shopping. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
So, let's go bargain hunting! | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
'Welcome to beautiful Anglesey, in North Wales. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
'A place you'd associate with the Menai Bridge, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
'magnificent sandy beaches and relaxing strolls along the coast.' | 0:00:44 | 0:00:49 | |
Well, not on today's show. Oh, no. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Think stress. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
-So you've bought it, have you? 135? -Yes. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
I think they might have paid a bit too much for that. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Think panic. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
We've had 20 minutes. Which means you've got 40 left to buy three items. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
Think drama. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
£20. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
-Humiliation. -No-one wants them? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
A £10 note. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Oh, come on. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
We challenge two teams and their expert | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
to find three antiques or collectables, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
and we give them £300 and an hour to do it in. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
'Their speculative lots will find their way over to auction, in a bid | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
'to make more money than was first paid. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
'Whoever makes the biggest profit wins.' | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
OK. Let's go and meet the teams. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
So, for the Reds, we have Nigel and his stepdaughter, Joanne. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
And for the Blues, we've got mates, Sharman and Jean. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
Welcome to Bargain Hunt. Very nice to see you, teams. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
So, Joanne, it says here that like Nigella, you are something of a domestic goddess. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:58 | |
Maybe. My daughter likes to think so. I love baking, especially with her. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-We make lots of fairy cakes and biscuits. -Very nice, too. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
And how are you going to be with antiques? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Er... Maybe a bit rusty. I've got a very small collection of teapots that I have. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
I like unusual things with... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
I've got a couple with some cats on, others with Charles Dickens stories going round them. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
-Oh, I know, that kind of seriesware stuff. -Yes. -Yeah. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-They're quite amusing. -They are. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Well, it'll be interesting to see what you find. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Nigel, what are your favourite pastimes? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
I do a bit of collecting. Crown Derby. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
And love reading autobiographies and biographies. Old screen movie stars, that sort of thing... | 0:02:33 | 0:02:40 | |
Cary Grant, that sort of people. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
People who've had a life, not the 20-somethings | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
who wrote their autobiography when they were sort of 19. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
My Lord. That sounds slightly grumpy old man-ish to me. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
My wife says I was the person on whom Victor Meldrew was modelled. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
-You said it, not me. -Well, there you go. -Somehow, Nigel, I think you're going to do | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
incredibly well on Bargain Hunt today. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-Thank you. -Good luck. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
Now, for the Blues. You girls. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
So, Jean, how is it that you and Sharman know each other? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
We were old work colleagues. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Sharman's manageress of the pub where I used to work, in Red Wharf Bay. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-Oh, just here on Anglesey. -Yes. -How lovely. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
Sharman, do you enjoy Anglesey? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
I love it. It's a very special place, especially driving over the Menai Bridge, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
it's a feeling of coming home. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
-And how long have you lived here for? -33 years. -Oh, so you know your way around. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
I wouldn't say that. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
Well, I'd hope you'd know your way around. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-And are you quite close to Red Wharf Bay, then? -Yes, about two miles. -Oh, lovely. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
If you could buy anything today, Sharman, what would it be? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
I'd like to look at some old musical instruments. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
See if there's anything there that's going to make us a lot of money. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
Right. And on that happy note, we come to the money moment. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
Here it is, look. £300 apiece. You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
And very, very, very good luck. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
'So, with just 60 minutes to shop and three items to buy, let's hope our experts are in the mood to help. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:12 | |
'Oh, dear. Maybe not. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
'For the Reds, we have David Harper. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
'For the Blues, another David - | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
'our old mate, Barby.' | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
And they'll be helping not one, but two pairs of reds and blues today. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
-And away we go. -Away we go. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-Let's go. One hour from now. -OK. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
'Off they trot, as we start the clock. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
'Let's hope they find some crackers.' | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
It's a little silver thimble. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
-Oh. -Charles Horner. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
-Charles Horner? -Yeah. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
-Oh, that's nice. -How pretty is that? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
Yes, it's rather nice to get one in its original box. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-That's lovely. -Well, these are quite collectable objects. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
How much is it, please? | 0:04:54 | 0:04:55 | |
Well, I wanted about 30. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
30? The thing that concerns me a little bit - | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
it's got two little holes on the side here. Can you see that, there? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
-Yeah. -Where somebody's pushed a needle through. -Yeah. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
-Well, what were you thinking? -Er...under £20. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
I could do 16. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
£16? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
Those holes do affect the value somewhat. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
£16 is a good price, but I think you're only going to make probably about £2 or £4. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
You might make more, I don't want to be depressing. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
But it's a nice little first piece. What do you think? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-OK? -I like it. -We'll go for it. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-Shall we? -Yes. -Really? | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
We'll make a start with that. We're going to go big after this. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
-OK. -Spend loads of money. -Who's got the money? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
-You have. -I don't know. Hopefully you have. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
-OK. -That's why we brought you, David. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
I wish it was my own. OK. Thank you very much. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
-We would like to have that. -OK. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
'I doubt Barby would ever get HIS wallet out. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
'To the Reds now, who are just realising they've only got an hour.' | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
We've had 20 minutes. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 | |
-Which means you've got 40 left to buy three items. -Yep. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
So can we get our fingers out? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-Absolutely. -Right. -Just going for stuff that's too dear, aren't we? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-Are these napkin rings? -Yeah. Go for it? -Are they silver? | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-They are silver. -Right. I think it's nice they're in the box. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-Original box, would you say? -Let's have a look. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
-Yes. Now, this is great. Because we love things in their original box. -Yeah. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
Joanne, what's your gut feeling here? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
I like them. I don't like things that are overly ornate, | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
and they're nice and simple. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
OK. So, 1922, Birmingham. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
Priced at £50. Now I know Linda. She's very lovely, | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
-and she loves giving me fantastic discounts. ..Don't you? -That's right, | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
I do. Yes. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:48 | |
What have we got on there? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-I can do 30 for you. -30? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
You see, she's lovely because that's a trade price... | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
I think that's exceptionally lovely. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
-I'd love to buy those. -Yeah. -Would you, Joanne? -Yes, I would. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
-Linda, I'd love to buy them too. -OK. -Thank you very much. -Thank you. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
So, 35 minutes to go and just one item each. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
So there's no time for messing about, girls. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-What do you think of that? -That's very nice indeed. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Now, what's so good about this little piece - | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
it's got this opaque banding all the way around. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-Yeah. -And that's so skilled to do. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
-There's the pontil mark at the bottom. -Yeah. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
And nice pinched feet. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
-I like that. -That was all done when it was in its molten state. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Let's have a look at the jug. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:39 | |
That is so pretty, isn't it? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-It is. I like that. -You like glass? -Yes. -OK. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-Again, just have a look here... -I'd buy that. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
Right, there's no chips on that. Again, it's got the pontil mark. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
And they are matching. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
-And the price is what? -155. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
-155. -At the moment. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
You could have a word with the dealer, who's sitting over there. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-Right. -So, I... Do you want to both go over there? -Yes. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
'You said you'd buy it, Jean. Now's your chance.' | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
DEALER: 135 would be our very best. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
-It's very pretty. -It is. -And it is perfect. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-No chips or anything. -No. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
-Shall we go for that? -Shall we do a deal here? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
-OK. That's fine. -135? Thank you very much. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
-OK? -David...? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-135. -You've got it, you've bought it, have you? 135? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-Yes. -Right. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:30 | |
-Is that OK? -Oh, you look worried now. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
Oh, you've made me very nervous. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-Well, you wanted your piece of glass so you've got your glass. -Yes. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
Yes, but your face says it all. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
I think they might have paid a little bit too much for that. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
And they didn't negotiate enough. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
They had one reduction and said "Right!" | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
But I think 135, the present state of the market for Victorian glass, is a little bit too high. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:54 | |
The auction will tell. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
'David's not happy. These ladies need a crash course in haggling.' | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
Next thing we look at - don't go in immediately and say "Yes!" | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
The whole enjoyment of buying antiques at a fair is that you CAN negotiate. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
-Right. -'Let's hope Jean and Sharman listen to David's advice. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
'Now, are the Reds listening to their David?' | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
I like that. Because I like glass and I like silver. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
-This is silver, is it? -That's silver. Yeah. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-And I just... ..Joanne, just feel... Are you ready? -Yeah. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
Gosh, it's heavy. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 | |
-So that's a lead crystal bowl with a silver mount. -And how old is that? | 0:09:29 | 0:09:35 | |
Let's have a look. Datewise we've got Birmingham, 1911. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
Erm... Where's Linda? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
Linda, what's the best on that? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
-Just out of interest. -Erm...65, we'll stretch to. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
Maybe 60? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
-I think we might have an offer coming through. -60? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
I'll do 60, yes, for you. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-OK. -OK. Thanks. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-Now, are you happy with this? -I am. Yes. It's lovely. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
I don't want to hold it any more cos it's really heavy. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-Thank you! -Right, that'll be my job, then. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
Linda, 60. Thank you very much. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
-Thank you. -Brilliant. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:06 | |
'Hats off to Linda, then. She's helped out the Reds a treat. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
'Now, with 25 minutes to go, | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
'the Blues are trying to find a third, final piece | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
'to spend their remaining £149 on.' | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
These are quite nice. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
Ah... Now. Look at this. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
That's not a walking cane. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
No. It's a ruler...of some sort. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
-Is it? -It is a ruler. -Yeah. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
Oh, look. Here we are. It says here... Can you see? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
-It's a barrel dip gauge. -Imperial gallons... What? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
It's for when you're dipping the casks... | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Why didn't you tell me you knew what it was? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
No. I saw the "barrel dip", | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
then I realised what it was for because that's part of my job... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:52 | |
-Dipping barrels. -It's not? | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
It is, yeah. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
-There you go. -What do you think, Sharman? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
That is so good! | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Is that an omen? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
It is an omen. I think we should go for it, don't you? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
-I think it's an omen. -I think so. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-I can't have anything to do with the negotiation on price. -No. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
It's entirely up to you. £30? | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
OK. Off you go. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
What's the least you'll take for that? Can we do 30? | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
-30? -Please... | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
-Because you've got a pretty face. -Ah! You're a gentleman. Thank you very much. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
'Well done, ladies. David's lecture in haggling worked. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
'And that's their shopping over. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
'They've shot through this fair - | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
'unlike the Reds, who are trying to see everything on every stall.' | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
It doesn't really mean very much to me... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
-You're getting a bit tetchy. -Yes! | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
"Come on, let's move on." | 0:11:43 | 0:11:44 | |
'Come on, guys. We're getting tetchy as well. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
'And with £210 left, that's plenty to find your last item with.' | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
-What do you fancy, chaps? -I like the look of the vases. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-< The vases? -And the little blue... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
Well, first of all, let me show you the vases. They're London, 1907. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
A great colour. They're very, very pretty. How much are they? | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
They're strikingly lovely. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
If you want to buy them, I'll do it for £70 | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-but I ain't doing any more. -Right. It's over to you two. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
I like them. There's something a little bit different about them. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
Even though they're quite old, they still look quite contemporary. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
They look quality to me. I'd take the risk, certainly, yes. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
-I like a risk. ..Joanne, how about you? -Yeah. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-Yeah? -Yeah. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
-Your decision. Are you happy? -We're happy to buy them. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-Thank you, sir. -Thank you very much. -Thank you. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
DEALER: OK. Thank you. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
'£70 for the pair of vases, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:35 | |
'and both teams have all three items in the bag. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
'Joanne and Nigel took a while to get going. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
'First in the bag, though, was the pair of silver napkin rings. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
'Next up was the silver-rimmed cut-glass bowl, | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
'which David Harper recommended. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
'And finally, Joanne fell for the pair of pink glass vases | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
'with silver rims.' | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-Now, was that good fun? -Lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Yes. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
And you spent... What did you spend? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-We spent £160. -£160. That'll be £140 of leftover lolly. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
Goes straight across to David. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
-Thank you very much. -Which is your favourite bit? | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
I like the vases that we've just bought, because | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
they just caught my eye. I thought the colours were beautiful. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-What'll bring the biggest profit? -Napkin rings. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
-Napkin rings? -Napkin rings. They seemed such incredible value. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
Either that or this guy did a superb deal. So... | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
-Well, we shall see. -We shall see. But that's quite a lot of money. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
-A big old wedge, that one, Tim. -You going to be safe? -Yeah. I think so. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
I'm going to have to steer clear of silver. Everything we've bought is silver. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:47 | |
-He was a bit worried about that. -Just depends on what you find. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
160's quite a lot to go for, and there's plenty of people here and lots of goods to go for. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
So, good luck with that, David. Excellent. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Now, let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
'Jean and Sharman didn't look at much - | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
but what they did, they bought, | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
'including the 20th-century silver thimble | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
'on which they got a great deal. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
'However, David wasn't happy with the price they paid | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
'for the cranberry glass cream jug and sugar basin. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
'Will that cost them dearly at auction? | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
'And last up was the brewer's measuring stick, | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
'which completed their gentle stroll around the fair.' | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
-How much did you spend overall? -We spent £181 overall. -£181. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-So we want £119 of leftover lolly. -I haven't spent it. There we go. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-Which is going over to David. -Thank you very much. -Do your worst. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
Now, Jean, which is your favourite piece, darling? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
Ooh...I think the glass. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-The glass. -Yes. -Your favourite. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:43 | |
-And Sharman? -I think the barrel gauge, now. I'm excited about it. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
And you haven't had a lot of time to think about it. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
David's got the leftover lolly - | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
how much of a challenge is it going to be to find something? Will you be as quick? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
No. I take great pleasure in handling objects. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
You've left me at least half an hour to go round. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
So I can go and see what there is. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
Well, good luck with that. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
50. Five. 60. Five. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
65. 70. £70. 70. 75. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
All done at £75... | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
So, we're in Mold, at Dodds Auctioneers & Valuers, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
with Anthony Parry. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
-Anthony, how the devil are you? -Not bad at all. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
-And life in Wales is serving you all right, is it? -Yes. The sun is shining. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
-Never rains in Wales, does it? -No. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
On that happy note then, the Reds' first item is the napkin rings. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
Nice to have them in the original box. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
No big value, though. £20-£30. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
Well, they paid £30, so not a big profit either. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
If you struggled to 30, that would be brilliant. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-Be nice to make a small profit if we could, Anthony. -We'll try hard. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
They're quite obsessed with silver-mounted things | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
because their second item | 0:16:06 | 0:16:07 | |
is this extremely handsome cut-glass bowl. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
It's a nice heavy bowl. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
Unfortunately, there's quite a few chips on the glass underneath. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
-Yes. -So... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
£30-£40. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Oh, dear. They paid £60. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
What about the pink glass jobs with their silver mounts? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
Do you like them? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:26 | |
-No. -No. -Very little silver on those. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Right. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:29 | |
So...£20-£30. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-They paid 70. -ANTHONY GASPS | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
-Ooh... -Dear me. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
This is not looking good, is it? | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
-No. A bad day. -A bad day. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
I think we're going to have to go straight to the bonus buy cos they're going to need it. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
-Ugh! -Oh, stop it! | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Yeah. No jokes about BARE. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-So, what's it made of? -It's solid wood from the Black Forest. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-You'll get to love him within about five seconds. -His head comes off. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
"His head comes off." It's an inkwell! | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
Little glass bead eyes. Hand-painted mouth. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
Carved out of one piece of wood. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
And see how he sits on a desk... You just hold him on your hand... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
..and then your quill pen would just sit there. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
-Any idea of age, David? -Late 19th century, early 20th century. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-Right. -Somewhere round there. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:18 | |
-How much did you pay? -How much do you think? | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
A tenner? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
£30. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:25 | |
-Oh, right. -See, I was quite close with my tenner. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-Well, I think there should be. -What's your prediction? | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
Well, it should be £50. I mean, at 50 quid it'd be an absolute bargain. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
So whether you like it or not, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
it doesn't make a lot of difference. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
You will pick it after the sale of your first three items. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little bear. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:48 | |
He's got an odd bottle and an odd stopper. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
-Oh, yeah. -In fact, the stopper's broken. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
Oh, Lordy. But you can't have everything, can you? | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-You can't. -No. -But bears are collectable, so I've said £30-£50. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
Oh, well, that's brilliant. David Harper will be delighted | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
cos he only paid £30, and goodness only knows | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
his team could do with a decent profit. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
-So good luck with that, Anthony. -Thank you. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Sharman and Jean. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
Their first item is the thimble. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
Yep. Charles Horner, good maker. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
Unfortunately, the thimble is very worn. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
-In fact, it's worn through in a part. -Mmm. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
-Not good for thimbles, that, is it? -No. £5-£10. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
-Right. £16 paid. -Right. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
I mean, at least it's got a case. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:33 | |
It's got a case and it's got a chance, being Charles Horner. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
Because it's Charles Horner. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
Next is the cranberry glass jug and basin. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
Now, this is something I know that's very, very close to your heart, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
personally, isn't it, Anthony? | 0:18:45 | 0:18:46 | |
-You love a bit of cranberry. -Oh, yes. -Yes. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
Not this particular pair, though. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-No. -No. -Oh. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
I've said £30-£40. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
Yes. What would you say if I said to you they paid £135? | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
Oh! Good Lord. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
We might be better off with an insurance claim, than putting it... No, seriously. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
It's hot money, that is. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
-What, £135? -Yes. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
Yes. It's a fairly cranberry price. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-It is. -Yes. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
-Not good. -No. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:16 | |
Lastly then, let's get the measure of this...is this stick. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
Victorian gallon measuring stick. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:25 | |
I quite like that. £40-£60. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
Hooray! We're at last predicting a potential profit on an item. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
How lovely! | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
But they're going to need it to make up for the losses on the cranberry, | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
so let's go and have a look at the bonus buy. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
Well, something a little bit unusual. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
This is what I term as guild school. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Early 20th-century design. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
It's a very simple copper box. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Possibly sort of maybe influenced by the contents. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
But what I love is this shell in the top there. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
Yes, I like that. | 0:19:58 | 0:19:59 | |
It's a simple push-down lid. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
And tight. So, there we are. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Yes, by all means. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
I just like the design. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
It caught my attention. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
-How much? -£45. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
What would you hope to make at auction? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Here, I think possibly, we might just edge into profit. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
You don't have to decide now. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's box. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:28 | |
Bit of arts and crafts. It's nice to have the motif on the top. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:35 | |
-Yes. -Yep. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
£30-50. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:38 | |
£45 paid. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
-If I get the top end, he'll be in profit. -There we go. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:44 | |
35. 40, sitting down. 45. 50. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
Five. 60. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
60, in the middle. 60. Gone. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
-Joanne and Nigel, are you excited? -Extremely so. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
Apprehensive slightly, however. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
-Definitely. -Don't know what to expect. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
-What's it like for you, Joanne? -It's like... | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
It's just really exciting. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
Well, that's what's such fun. None of us know, do we, David? | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
We've proved that, Tim, haven't we? | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Anyway, first up are your napkin rings. And here they come. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
A cased pair of silver napkin rings. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
Birmingham, 1922. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
£20. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
A £10 note, then. Ten. 12. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
14. 16. 18. 20. 22. 24. 26. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:37 | |
-Come on. -Just a little bit more. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
28. 30. Two. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
Yes. A profit. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
36. 38. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
40. £40. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
42. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
No. £42. 42. Where's four? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
£42, we're done? | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Well done. £42 is plus £12. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
How good does that feel? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
It feels wonderful. I wasn't expecting that much. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
£2 or £3, perhaps, I was expecting. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
-Might need that for my vases. -We might! | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
Now, next is the crystal bowl. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
148. A heavy cut-glass fruit bowl with a silver rim. Birmingham 1911. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:23 | |
What shall we say for that? £100 worth? | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
50, then. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
30 to kick it off. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
30. Come on. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
Silence in the room. £20 then. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
20. Thank you. £20. 20. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
£20. 20. 20. £25. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
-25. 25. -He's struggling. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
30. £30. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
£30 there. £30. 30. £30. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
35. Thank you at the back. 35. 40. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
-No. £40. £40. 40. -Come on! | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
Any more than £40 there? | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
We finished at 40? | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
-Dear oh, dear oh, dear. -Goodness me. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
£40. That is minus £20 on that. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
Bad luck, David. Overall, you're minus £8. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:14 | |
-Shall I just hide now? -Would you want to rely on the pink vases? | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
We shouldn't be put off by what the auctioneer thinks cos your napkins made more. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:25 | |
-Yeah. -Here come the pink vases. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
150. A pair of mottled pink opalite glass vases. London, 1907. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:32 | |
What shall we say for those? 50. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
-20. -Oh, dear me. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
You've all gone quiet on me. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
-£10. -Come on, nice people of Mold! | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
Ten. £10. Ten. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
Ten. 12. 14. 16. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
No. 16, there. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
I'll shed a tear in a minute. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
18. 18. A vigorous shake of the head, Michael. 20 in the door. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:59 | |
£20. 22. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
-No. 22 in the centre. -Goodness me! | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
-£22. 22. Four, is it? -Oh, Jo. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
All done at £22. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Dear, oh dear! That is minus £56, overall. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
Doesn't sound so bad when you say it quickly. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
Minus £56. So what are you going to do about the bear inkwell? | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
-In for a penny. -We've got to support our expert, haven't we? | 0:24:20 | 0:24:25 | |
He deserves every inch of our support. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
He has put 30-50 on. He rates it and here it comes. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
154. Nice little lot here. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
Carved wooden inkwell in the form of a little bear. Sweet little bear. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
What shall we say for that one? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
20. Thank you. 20. 20. Two. 24. 26. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
-28. 30. Two. -Profit. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
34. £34. 34. 36. 38. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:53 | |
40. Two. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
-44. 46. 48. -Come on. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
-David has done the business here. -50. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
Two. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
52 at the back. 52. Four, is there? | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
All done at £52. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
Well done, David. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
£52. It's a cool £22. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
I mean, that's good play, Dave. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
Well done. So your losses, thanks to going with David Harper, | 0:25:16 | 0:25:22 | |
have been reduced to £34. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
You are minus £34. Now, that could be a winning score. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
All right. Don't say anything, not a word, to the Blues. All right. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
-OK. -Well done, you two. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
-Thank you very much. -It's a pleasure. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
-Are you feeling nervous, girls? -No. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
-Confident. -Absolutely. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
Full of confidence. Yeah. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
You haven't had a swift half? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
-No. -A large whisky! -Large whisky. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
So, first up, though, is the thimble and here it comes. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
170 is a nice little cased silver thimble. It's Chester, 1912. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:04 | |
And it's by Charles Horner. What shall we say for that? | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
Who collects thimbles? | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
Five. Six. Eight. Ten. 12. 14. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
£14. 16. 18. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
20. £20. 20. 20. Two, is it? £20. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:21 | |
A little bit more. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
At £20. Any more? All done at 20? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
Well, there you go. £20. Good girls. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
A profit of £4 as a kickoff is very nice. Well done, yourself. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
-Yes. -Now, cranberry glass. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
172. A cranberry tinted glass cream jug with a matching sugar bowl. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:43 | |
What shall we say for those? £50. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
£30. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
-Oh, no. -Come on. Straight in at 30. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
£20. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
£20. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
-I can't believe this. -No-one wants them. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
-It's lovely. -A £10 note. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
-Come on. This is ridiculous. -15. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
20. 25. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
30. 30, up there. 30. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
£30. 30. Where's five? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
£30. They're going. £30. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
All done at £30, then. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
-£30. -We've been robbed! | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
That's minus £105... | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
which means overall, you're minus 104...no, you're not. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
You're minus 101. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
-You're minus 101. -That's not bad. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
Really(!) | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
I somehow don't think so. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
Here comes the stick. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
-Yes. -Here it comes. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
174. An interesting item. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
The brewer's measuring stick. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
Hang it on the wall. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
What shall we say for that? | 0:27:56 | 0:27:57 | |
£50. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
You don't see them today. £20. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
£20 for it. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
Surely it's £20. 20 I've got. £20. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
20. 25. 25. 30. £30. 30. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:14 | |
30. Five, is it? | 0:28:14 | 0:28:15 | |
£30 in the hat. £30. 30. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:19 | |
Where's five? All done at £30, then. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
£30. Wiped its face. £30. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
Well done. No profit, no loss... | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
which means you've got £101 of losses. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:32 | |
Are you going to go with the arts and crafts box? | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
I think it might be a wise move. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:37 | |
-Yes. -It all rests with you now, David. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
-Does it, really? -It certainly does. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:40 | |
178. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
Nice little lot again. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
A copper box... | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
with the shell finial on the top, there. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:50 | |
What shall we say for that one? £50. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:52 | |
The arts and crafts one. 50. 30 then to kick it off. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
-20. -Oh, come on, David. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
Oh, dear dear dear. £20. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
A £10 note. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:05 | |
Oh, this is ridiculous. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:09 | |
Thank you. £10. Ten. Ten. Are you having a bargain, Don? | 0:29:09 | 0:29:13 | |
12. 14. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
16. 18. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
20. Two. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
22 in the centre. £22. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:24 | |
22. Where's four? | 0:29:24 | 0:29:26 | |
£22 and it's gone. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
£22. You can burst into tears. £22. 22. I think I will burst into tears. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:34 | |
That's minus £23 on that. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
It means you are minus £124, overall, which is not so bad. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:42 | |
And we will reveal the final scores in just a moment. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
Well, it could have been worse... sort of. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
A total loss of £124 for the Blues, making the Reds the winners | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
as, remember, they lost a mere £34. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
Coming up, two more teams go on the hunt for bargains. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
But first, I'm off somewhere spectacular. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
Welcome to Penrhyn Castle in Gwynedd, North Wales, | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
which was completed less than 200 years ago in 1838. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:13 | |
The castle replaced the existing fortified manor, | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
and although the redesign was largely all-encompassing, | 0:30:18 | 0:30:22 | |
one area that remained unchanged were the stables, and that was | 0:30:22 | 0:30:26 | |
because here at Penrhyn there was a huge passion for horse racing. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
So, I want you to imagine that you had a great win | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
at the races and you've returned to Penrhyn to celebrate. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:46 | |
The dining table is magnificently set up, | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
as it would have been for a splendid dinner in 1894. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:54 | |
'Which would have included your best set of Minton.' | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
But if it's a racing meeting, | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
you're also going to show off the racing trophies. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:10 | |
The Clifton Cup in the centre is not actually a cup, | 0:31:10 | 0:31:15 | |
it's a presentation in the form of a silver figure | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
of Queen Elizabeth I astride a horse | 0:31:18 | 0:31:22 | |
and attended by her servants, which was made by Elkington & Co. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:28 | |
in lieu of a cup. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
And the last trophy on the table is the Goodwood Cup, | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
which was made in 1825. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
Which is in a kind of neoclassical Rococo Revival style. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
With this trophy, the Queen's Vase from Ascot, | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
presented in 1894, we've got a different shape. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
This is in wine-cooler shape, you'd have filled it with ice | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
and shoved in a few bottles to cool down, | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
but the problem for the boys was that having had a skinful, | 0:31:56 | 0:32:00 | |
they'd just have to pop off behind the screen. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
Facilities often in country houses were, how can I put it, primitive? | 0:32:05 | 0:32:09 | |
If you got the urge at the table you would pop behind the screen, | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
and at Penrhyn Castle, | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
open up a secret compartment in the wainscoting and find the facilities. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:22 | |
Meanwhile, back at the fair, will our next two teams be RELIEVED - ha! | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
- when they find some bargains? | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
Time to meet our new pairs of reds and blue. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
For the Reds, we've got jazz men and friends Ian and Dave, | 0:32:32 | 0:32:36 | |
and for the Blues we've got good friends Zoe and Kendra. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
Welcome to Bargain Hunt. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
Lovely to see you guys. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
Tell us about the wonderful music that you make together. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
-A nice mixture of everything, really, isn't it? -It is, yes. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
It's Latin, jazz, swing. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:53 | |
Some older Dixieland styles and some more | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
modern mainstream, swing and things like that. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
Now, Ian, your music sometimes gets you into trouble. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
It has done on occasion. Not too much trouble. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
What sort of trouble? | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
We did once perform on the promenade in Llandudno and drew a large crowd, | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
and we were escorted from the promenade | 0:33:08 | 0:33:10 | |
because there are by-laws preventing it. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:12 | |
But there was a happy end to the story, | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
in that a hotelier who saw the crowd gathering | 0:33:15 | 0:33:17 | |
offered us quite a long engagement. So we did all right. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:22 | |
Anyway, very good luck today. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
-Thanks very much. -Now for the girls. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
So, where did you two meet and why are you such good friends? | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
We live close by each other and our children grew up together. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:33 | |
-Did they all go to school together? -Yes. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:35 | |
-Which is rather nice, isn't it? And you've kept friends. -Yes. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
So tell me, Kendra, how did you get into the girls' makeover business? | 0:33:38 | 0:33:43 | |
One of the girls that I used to work with in a care home that I worked in, | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
she said her daughter had been to a makeover party | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
and she showed me a photograph. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
The girl had a little pony in her hair with a flower in, | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
stripy blue eye shadow and she said it cost her £20. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:58 | |
-So I said, "Oh, I can do better than that." -Yes! | 0:33:58 | 0:34:00 | |
So I phoned Zoe and I said, "Zoe, do you want to go into business?" | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
-And Zoe said "Yes." -But you've been extensively involved | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
with the youth, haven't you? That's a big interest of yours. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:10 | |
Yes, Zoe and I both work | 0:34:10 | 0:34:11 | |
with the children in the community where we live. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
We do cheerleading classes, we do youth club, | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
we do activities in the holidays, we've done all sorts of things. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:21 | |
You're a busy couple of ladies, aren't you? | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
Yeah, but Zoe goes to the gym | 0:34:23 | 0:34:24 | |
-as well about seven times a week. -Does she? -Oh, yeah. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
-Are you a bit of a fitness freak? -Yeah, just a little bit. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
So what do you like about going to the gym, then? | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
Everything. All my frustrations come out in the gym. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
-Nothing to do with all those tight clothes, is it? -No. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
Nothing to do with that at all. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:39 | |
Anyway, next it's the money moment. Here we go. Here's your £300 apiece. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:44 | |
You know the rules, and off you go and very good luck. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:48 | |
So, three items to find with £300 to spend but only one hour to search. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
Mind you, the reds seem to have found something they like already. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
Tell me why you like it. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:00 | |
It's an unusual set up for a salt and pepper set. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
A boat with wheels. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
Yeah, what is it? Is it a car, is it a plane? I don't know. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
-But it sparkles and it's different. -Well, grab it. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
-Let's have a look at it, then. Be very, very careful. -Yeah, OK. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
We don't want to HAVE to buy it. OK, so what have we got going on here? | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
We've got vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and mustard, I suppose. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:23 | |
That's crystal, I'd imagine. It's nice and sharp. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
Run your palm over it. So this is a cut glass of dubious age, I'd say. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:31 | |
What would be the very best price? | 0:35:31 | 0:35:33 | |
The very, very, very best would be 20. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
That's the very, very best. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
OK, OK. £20. I mean... | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
I think that's OK. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:40 | |
Maybe we could get a bit less, you know. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
I mean... What...? Come on. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
-What do you say? -15. -15. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:49 | |
That's the very, very best. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:50 | |
-What are you thinking? -I think we could probably do it for that. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
Thanks very much. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:54 | |
Great stuff, first one in the bag for £15 | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
and a whole £285 left to spend. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
How are those naughty girls doing? | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
This is rather flashy, because it's got opals in it. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:07 | |
-That's nice, that's prettier. -A river pearl. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
Try that on your jacket. By there. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
-How much is that? -It's 50, that one. -It is delicate. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:17 | |
That doesn't look the same gold to me. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
-It's all the same. -Is it? | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
So that's nine carat. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
That's £50. What's the very best you could do it? | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
35. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
-£35. Is that the very best? -30, that's the very, very best. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:33 | |
That's being very generous, thank you very much. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:37 | |
Yeah, but how much do you reckon it'll make at auction? | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
-I think it'll make a profit. -I like that. -Really? | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
-Shall we go for the brooch? -I like it, I do. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
Yeah, can we take the brooch, please? | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
-Yes, certainly. -£30? -That's fine. -Thank you very much. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
Those ladies are discerning. But is it going to cost them the game? | 0:36:50 | 0:36:54 | |
The boys are full steam ahead. I'll say no more. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
OK, tell me why you like that? | 0:36:57 | 0:36:59 | |
Well, the engraving, it's different, isn't it? | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
-Is that engraved or is it pressed? -Well, it's pressed isn't it, it's beaten, I suppose. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
Nice handles, almost like a fish scale handle. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
It doesn't look very English. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:10 | |
No, it doesn't. Particularly because it has a decorated base which I find quite unusual. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
That's well spotted because rarely will you find a decorated base on a piece of English silver. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:19 | |
So that's continental. Let's see what he says. Oh, Portuguese. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
So there you go, continental. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:24 | |
How much is it? Let's have a look. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:25 | |
-That's the question. -48 quid, I mean... | 0:37:25 | 0:37:28 | |
Well, that's not too bad, is it? | 0:37:28 | 0:37:29 | |
-You're going to end up with a big wad to spend at this rate. -I know. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:33 | |
-Are there any markings on it? -Yes, there's the silver markings coming out from the middle here. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:37 | |
-Can you see them there? -What is it? -A boar. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
-A boar. -As in a wild boar. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
-Oh, that's quite nice. -It's amazing. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
Again, what's the absolute death of it? | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
-Be kind. -Death price. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
-32. -32. -We can go for that. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
-Yeah, we'll go for that. 32. -Thank you very much. -Are you happy? | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
-Yeah. -Good. Thanks, that's really interesting. Thank you very much. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:57 | |
That's decision making for you, Red style. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
In there, suss the price, and out again. Over to you, ladies. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:04 | |
I don't know whether you noticed in that cabinet, but this is a lovely little Georgian box. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:09 | |
And it's made out of tortoiseshell and horn. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
If you hold it up to the light, can you see the tortoiseshell? | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |
-I like tortoiseshell, Zoe. I said that, didn't I? -Isn't that lovely? | 0:38:15 | 0:38:18 | |
But what would you do with it? | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
Well, what it is is an 18th century circular box. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:24 | |
And I think this is possibly a patch box, it could be a table snuffbox, | 0:38:24 | 0:38:28 | |
-keeping pins in here and it's late 18th century. -Right. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
A very, very nice piece. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:33 | |
The sort of piece you could see in a museum or a stately home. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
And she's prepared, first of all to come down to 55. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:40 | |
-Still a bit high. -Then 50. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
-Yeah. -Now it's 48. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:43 | |
And it is so nice. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:45 | |
I like the tortoise shell in it, so... I think so. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
-Do you want to go for it? -Yeah. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
-It is nice, isn't it? -Yeah, I do like that. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
It's a lovely little pressed tortoiseshell case. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
It does nothing for me, that... | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
-Yeah, but the brooch did nothing for me so... -No. -Well, we're evens now. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
-Yeah, David. -Shall I go and secure it? | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
-Deal. Yes, please. -Yes, please. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
OK, well, they might not have consensus but at least it's the second item in the bag. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:10 | |
£222 left to play with, ladies. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:13 | |
That's an interesting manicure set. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
Let's have a quick look at it. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
So, it's a manicure set. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
So, we've got a nail file, little trimmer, scissors, curved scissors. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:24 | |
And then this, of course, is for writing. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
-Oh, I see. -I think, anyway. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
Go on, Ian, have a good look. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:29 | |
Everything fits, everything is the same style within the set. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:33 | |
-That's great. -Personally, at 125, I don't think it's expensive. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:37 | |
As something you'd want to buy, because I would want to buy that, | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
but it's going to auction and we've got to think about profit. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
What would your gut feeling be there, Ian? | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
I think about £95, do you think it would make that? | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
I was going to say about 50, if you had a good day. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
Well, I think 50 would be a bargain. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
We'd have to get the price down a fair bit. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
-Well, do you want to try. Shall we asked the gentleman? -Yes. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
What would be the very, very best on this one? | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
125. I can do it at 110. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
-110. -Well, I don't know, we can have a look round | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
and see if we can see something else. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
That's our last item, isn't it? | 0:40:08 | 0:40:10 | |
That is our last item so we still do have some time left. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
Can we have a quick wander and maybe come back? | 0:40:12 | 0:40:14 | |
£100 cash and I'll do a deal. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:16 | |
-Can you hold that offer for us for about ten or 15 minutes? -OK. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:19 | |
All right. Thank you very much. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
Don't take too long, chaps. Time is ticking away. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:25 | |
Now, what have the Blues found? | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
Oh, can I take this off? | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
-Yes, of course you can. -Oh, I like that, Zoe. -Yeah. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:36 | |
-You could use that in the garden. -So how does it work? -It is lovely. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
This side folds up and it clips on to there. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
-That's it. -Imagine though, a woman doing that on their own. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:48 | |
So, you can use it for a cot. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:49 | |
-Yeah. -At first, and then that'll go down, so when the child gets older it can be used as a little bed. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:56 | |
-Yeah. -How old do think it is, David? | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
I think it's probably about 1880, 1890. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:00 | |
I'm thinking in terms of taking it out of context of a child's item of furniture, | 0:41:00 | 0:41:04 | |
and maybe using it as a huge jardiniere. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
Full of plants, it would look absolutely stunning | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
What I like about it is that it's a typical cast iron French bed and it has let-down sides. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:14 | |
That is hinged there and there. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:16 | |
So, am I right in saying that the whole thing... | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |
-Collapses. -The whole thing will flat pack. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
Which is typical of French furniture. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
I like it. I really do like it, Zoe. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
-I love it. -I think it's a nice choice. I like it. -We like it. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
-How much? -£160. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:29 | |
Oh, can you do any better than that? | 0:41:29 | 0:41:32 | |
-140. -Still a bit high. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:35 | |
We've not got much money left and we haven't got a lot of time left. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:39 | |
-What's the best you'll do? -The very, very best, 120. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:43 | |
-Oh, yeah, we'll go for that, yeah, Zoe. -We'll grab it. Yeah, please. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:46 | |
Thank you. Thanks very much. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:47 | |
What do you think, Dave? | 0:41:47 | 0:41:49 | |
Dave didn't have any chance. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
We've bought it. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |
They never consult me. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:54 | |
They just go ahead and buy the thing. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:56 | |
Sorry, Dave, but we like it. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
-We love it. Don't we? -Yeah, we love it. -I shouldn't be here. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
Now, now, David. Don't take it so personally. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
With only seconds remaining, | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
the Reds have dragged themselves across the fair | 0:42:08 | 0:42:11 | |
to have another crack at negotiating on that manicure set. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:14 | |
The drama of it all. 30 seconds, yes or no? | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
We're watching our money. Is that your best price? £100. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:20 | |
-£100, best price. -Very rock-bottom? | 0:42:20 | 0:42:22 | |
-They're my very best price. -OK, yeah. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
Did you really think you were getting any more money off that now? | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
We'll have to go. I tell you, that's a deal. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
-It's a deal. -Thank you very much. -Thank you. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
Well, it doesn't get much closer than that. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
Both teams have all three items. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:35 | |
Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
First up, the condiment holder for £15. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:43 | |
The second item, £32 for the Portuguese silver bowl. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:50 | |
And finally, after a bit of gadding around, | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
they secured the manicure set for £100. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
Car-acking! | 0:42:56 | 0:42:58 | |
-How much did you spend overall? -147. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
-147, so we'd like £153 worth of leftover lolly, please. -Yes, please. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:06 | |
-Does that go to me? -It does. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:07 | |
-That's a pocket full of money, is it not? -Certainly is. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
You'll be able to buy up half this fair with that, Dave. What's your plan then, mate? | 0:43:10 | 0:43:14 | |
Well, I refer to these two as the bling brothers. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:17 | |
They love a bit of bling. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:18 | |
So I'm going to go for something slightly different, I think, | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
and I have seen something. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:23 | |
He's coy, isn't he? Dead coy. | 0:43:23 | 0:43:25 | |
Well, before it all runs off, very good luck, David. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:28 | |
Now let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
The girls were particular with this little acquisition. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
£30 for the twin opal and pearl brooch. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:38 | |
They then went on to buy the snuff box for £48. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:42 | |
Finally, before David had a chance to say French polish, | 0:43:44 | 0:43:48 | |
they bought the cast-iron child's cot for 120. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:51 | |
By George, I think they've cracked it! | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
-You spent £198, is that right? -We did. | 0:43:55 | 0:44:00 | |
And I'd like £102 of leftover lolly to go to David Barby, please. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
That's absolutely brilliant. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
-Now, you know what's going to happen now, don't you? -No. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:09 | |
David is going to go off and find the bonus buy. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:11 | |
Now, he is very good at finding these bonus buys but I'd like | 0:44:11 | 0:44:14 | |
to have an indication as to what you're going to go for, David. | 0:44:14 | 0:44:17 | |
Having encountered these girls for an hour, | 0:44:17 | 0:44:18 | |
-and you're looking very well on it... -Well, I'm exhausted, actually. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:21 | |
I at least need a day's break before I start looking for anything. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:25 | |
No, they like bling. | 0:44:25 | 0:44:27 | |
Something full in your face. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:29 | |
-Well, quite. Off you go, David, and good luck with that. -Thank you. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:33 | |
Well, it's great to be with Anthony Parry at Dodds Auctioneers and Valuers in sunny Mold. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:51 | |
-Thank you, Tim. -First up is this condiment holder in the form of a boat or cart, whatever it is. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:55 | |
Yes, a novelty item. | 0:44:55 | 0:44:57 | |
They normally make £30 to £40. | 0:44:57 | 0:45:00 | |
-Really? -Yeah. -There only paid £15 for that. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:03 | |
-Oh. -If you could double their money, they will be over the moon. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:07 | |
Now, the Portuguese silver bowl. | 0:45:07 | 0:45:08 | |
Quite a handsome-looking object, don't you think? | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
It's got the look. Pity it's not English. Again, £30 to £40. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:14 | |
Right, £32 paid. They didn't over pay for it. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:18 | |
And lastly, for those who care about manicures and pedicures, | 0:45:18 | 0:45:23 | |
here is the outing, isn't it? | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
Yes, it's all fitted. It's all complete there. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:28 | |
How unusual is that, because usually somebody's nicked a pair of scissors, haven't they? | 0:45:28 | 0:45:33 | |
-You've even got your buffer there. -Yeah. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:35 | |
-How lovely is that? -£50 to £70. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:38 | |
-Not that lovely then. -Oh. -£100 they paid. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:41 | |
-We are trying, aren't we? -Yes. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:43 | |
We could possibly squeeze to 100. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:45 | |
-Squeeze your cuticles, that's all I can say. -That's it. -Yes. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:49 | |
-On that happy note, we'll go and have a look at the bonus buy, eh? -Right. -Right. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:53 | |
-Oh. -Oh. -Pewter? | 0:45:54 | 0:45:56 | |
-What period do you think it is? -Is it Arts and Crafts? -Kind of. | 0:45:56 | 0:46:00 | |
Art nouveau. Same period as that. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:02 | |
Look at the base and tell me what the base says. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
I can't read that. Can you read that? | 0:46:04 | 0:46:06 | |
-Are your eyes better than mine? -I've got no glasses with me. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
Shall I do it for you then, boys? | 0:46:09 | 0:46:10 | |
Do you want to borrow those, have a go at those? | 0:46:10 | 0:46:12 | |
-They suit you better. -Actually, they work. Tudrio. -Tudric. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:17 | |
Oh, Tudric. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:19 | |
I'll have them back, thank you very much. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:22 | |
Very good, Tudrio(!) | 0:46:22 | 0:46:25 | |
Well, it makes it sound posher. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:26 | |
There's an awful lot going on the base here. Tudric, that's the design. | 0:46:26 | 0:46:31 | |
Tudric was retailed by Libertys, so it's nice and posh. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:35 | |
Then you got a trade mark there, which is the trademark of Hassler, | 0:46:35 | 0:46:40 | |
the Birmingham company that made the Tudric ware for Libertys. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:43 | |
There's an awful lot going on there. I paid £40 for it. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:47 | |
By rights, it should do 20 quid profit. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
It's certainly worth thinking about, isn't it? | 0:46:49 | 0:46:52 | |
There you go. You don't have to decide right now. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:55 | |
But, for the audience at home, | 0:46:55 | 0:46:57 | |
let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's "Tuh-dric" | 0:46:57 | 0:47:01 | |
or is it "Tue-dric"? You say potato, I say po-tato. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:04 | |
-Nice bit of Tudric for you, Anthony. -Yes, a Libertys one. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:09 | |
Very plain though, isn't it? | 0:47:09 | 0:47:11 | |
It's got the swirl. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:13 | |
But no jewels on it to brighten it up a bit. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:17 | |
But I've put 60 to 80 on it. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:19 | |
Have you really? That's one of your most optimistic estimates. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:22 | |
It is, yes. | 0:47:22 | 0:47:24 | |
-£40, Harper paid for that. -Oh. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:25 | |
He'll be very pleased if you can get 60 to 80. That's it for the Reds. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:31 | |
-Now for the Blues, starting with their brooch. -Pretty little brooch. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:36 | |
Become much more popular of late. | 0:47:36 | 0:47:37 | |
£30 to £40 estimate. | 0:47:37 | 0:47:39 | |
-£30 they paid, so that's pretty keen. They'll be pleased. -Good. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:43 | |
Next is this engine-turned snuffbox. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
I don't like it. I only think it's worth £20 to £30. | 0:47:46 | 0:47:49 | |
-£48, paid. -Oh, dear. -See that wince? | 0:47:49 | 0:47:51 | |
He's not a happy man. Anthony isn't happy. | 0:47:51 | 0:47:54 | |
But here's something to light the cockles of your heart, | 0:47:54 | 0:47:58 | |
the wrought iron cot. | 0:47:58 | 0:47:59 | |
-Surely a saleable item in your saleroom. -Scrap dealers, perhaps. | 0:47:59 | 0:48:03 | |
-It's a pity it's so rusty. -Yeah, a lot of corrosion on it. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
£40 to £60 on a good day. | 0:48:06 | 0:48:09 | |
And what if it isn't a good day? | 0:48:09 | 0:48:10 | |
-Oh, dear. A £10 note. -Well, they paid £120. | 0:48:10 | 0:48:15 | |
-Good gracious me! -There he goes. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:17 | |
So, there's only one thing I can say to you and that's bonus buy. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
And let's go and look quick. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:22 | |
-Isn't that superb? -What is it? | 0:48:25 | 0:48:26 | |
This is an oak box, beautifully constructed. | 0:48:26 | 0:48:30 | |
But the most important thing, there's a little insert cartouche there with an inscription | 0:48:30 | 0:48:36 | |
that relates to this particular town. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:38 | |
I like these wonderful handles at the side | 0:48:38 | 0:48:42 | |
and then inside, it's fitted for possibly a communion plate box because this went to a church. | 0:48:42 | 0:48:48 | |
And all the various appendages for church ritual would be contained in this box. It cost me £50 only. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:56 | |
I think there's a profit margin because it's a local piece. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
-Are you taken with it? -No. -No. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:02 | |
It doesn't really matter whether you like it or not. | 0:49:02 | 0:49:05 | |
It just depends how desperate you are when it comes to the end of the sale of the first three items. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:10 | |
But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's ecclesiastical box. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:17 | |
-It was made in the reign of Queen Victoria. -Was it? -Yes. | 0:49:17 | 0:49:21 | |
Before it started raining here? | 0:49:21 | 0:49:23 | |
Yes. And it's got local interest. It was donated to the Ebenezer Chapel. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:27 | |
-Is that local? -Yes, just down the road. | 0:49:27 | 0:49:29 | |
There we go, then. You never can tell with these things. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:32 | |
Local interest. £40 to £60. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
-£40 to £60? David paid £50 and it's his bonus buy so he's probably saying his prayers right now. -Yes. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:40 | |
But we'll all be saying our prayers for you when you get on the rostrum. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:44 | |
-Thank you. -Not at all. | 0:49:44 | 0:49:46 | |
175, down there. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:49 | |
250, 275. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:52 | |
-How's it feeling? Just like before a big gig somewhere? -Definitely. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:56 | |
Just a little nervous but we have all the bases covered there. | 0:49:56 | 0:49:59 | |
The first lot up is the condiment holder which you found, Dave, | 0:49:59 | 0:50:03 | |
which you paid £15 for and the auctioneer's estimate is 30 to 40. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:06 | |
-Wow. -That's all good. And here it comes. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:09 | |
Unusual five-piece glass condiment set. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:11 | |
10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24... | 0:50:11 | 0:50:16 | |
Keep going. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
26, 28, 30... | 0:50:18 | 0:50:21 | |
Oh! | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
-£30. £30, it's gone, then. -Well done! | 0:50:25 | 0:50:28 | |
-What did you sell it for? -30. | 0:50:28 | 0:50:30 | |
On the nail. £30. Very good. You have £15 profit on that straight-up. | 0:50:30 | 0:50:35 | |
The silver two-handled bowl, now, the Portuguese one. What's that one? 50? | 0:50:35 | 0:50:42 | |
30? 20 to kick it off, surely? | 0:50:42 | 0:50:45 | |
£20. Ten is a start. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:48 | |
£10. £12. | 0:50:48 | 0:50:50 | |
14. £14, 16? Thank you. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:59 | |
Go on! Yes! | 0:50:59 | 0:51:01 | |
32 up the room. | 0:51:01 | 0:51:02 | |
Come on! | 0:51:02 | 0:51:04 | |
-Come on! -Come on. -At £32, it's gone. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:08 | |
£32. Wiped its face at £32. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:12 | |
No profit, no loss. Now, the manicure set. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
Nice to see it complete, right down to the buffer. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:18 | |
Birmingham, 1923. | 0:51:18 | 0:51:20 | |
Who's kicking it off? £50 for it to start? | 0:51:20 | 0:51:22 | |
-£30, then, to kick it off? -Oh, dear. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:25 | |
What's the matter with that? £30 to start. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:29 | |
£20, then. 20, thank you. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:32 | |
25, 30, 35...no? | 0:51:32 | 0:51:36 | |
-Come on! -35's there. £35. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:38 | |
This is little money. 40. | 0:51:38 | 0:51:42 | |
Go on, one more! 45. One more for you? | 0:51:42 | 0:51:45 | |
-Go on! -45 down here, then. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:47 | |
£45. 45. This has surprised me. | 0:51:47 | 0:51:51 | |
It's little money but it's gone. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:53 | |
-Oh! -Minus £55. | 0:51:53 | 0:51:55 | |
Sorry about that, chaps. | 0:51:55 | 0:51:57 | |
Minus 55. That's a wallop, isn't it? | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
You were plus 15, you had a wiped face, which means overall you're now minus £40. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:05 | |
-OK. -OK, minus 40. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:07 | |
-So what are we going to do about Knox then? -Shall we go for it? | 0:52:07 | 0:52:11 | |
-I think so. -I think we have to. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:13 | |
I like the look of that. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:15 | |
-I think you've done well there. -I think it's a nice thing. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:17 | |
The hammered pewter two-handled vase, a Tudric Liberty one. | 0:52:17 | 0:52:22 | |
20, £20? Thank you. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:23 | |
25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, £50? | 0:52:23 | 0:52:29 | |
-50, 55, is it? -Yes, come on! -£50. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:32 | |
-55, 60. -Yes! | 0:52:32 | 0:52:33 | |
-65, £65. 70. -Yes! | 0:52:33 | 0:52:37 | |
70, £70, this side. | 0:52:37 | 0:52:40 | |
£70, all done at 70, then? | 0:52:40 | 0:52:44 | |
-Yes! -That is what they call a pukka profit. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:48 | |
-Brilliant. -That's £30. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:50 | |
That reduces your losses to minus £10. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:56 | |
-Games can be won on that. -That is a good, potentially winning score. | 0:52:56 | 0:53:01 | |
So congratulations all round because it's been a good group effort. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:05 | |
Just don't tell the Blues a thing. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:07 | |
We don't want them getting sharpened up, do we, those girls? | 0:53:07 | 0:53:12 | |
They're sharp enough already, I tell you. Well done. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:15 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:16 | |
80, 20... | 0:53:18 | 0:53:20 | |
Now, Zo-Zo and Kendra. Do you know how the Reds got on? | 0:53:26 | 0:53:28 | |
-No. -No idea? -No. | 0:53:28 | 0:53:30 | |
-You've not been listening in somewhere? -No. -Being sneaky? | 0:53:30 | 0:53:33 | |
So kicking on, then, is the brooch, here it is. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:36 | |
A rose gold brooch set with opals and seed pearls. | 0:53:36 | 0:53:40 | |
What shall we say, £30? | 0:53:40 | 0:53:42 | |
-20 to kick it off? -Come on! | 0:53:42 | 0:53:44 | |
Oh dear! A £10 note, then? | 0:53:44 | 0:53:46 | |
-Oh, God! -10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, | 0:53:46 | 0:53:53 | |
22, 24, 26, 28, £28? | 0:53:53 | 0:53:59 | |
-Come on! A bit more. -Come on! | 0:53:59 | 0:54:01 | |
-One more! -28. 28. 30. -Yes! | 0:54:01 | 0:54:04 | |
32. £32. £32. Going at £32. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:10 | |
-Yes. -Yes, £2 profit! -That's £2. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
That'll buy you a chip. | 0:54:14 | 0:54:16 | |
One chip each. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:17 | |
The snuff or patch box, little round one, what shall we say for that one? | 0:54:17 | 0:54:22 | |
20 to kick it off? | 0:54:22 | 0:54:23 | |
A £10 note? 10, I've got, £10. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
Where's 12? 12. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:28 | |
12, 14, 14? £14? 16? | 0:54:28 | 0:54:33 | |
No. 16 there. £16. 16. Where's 18? | 0:54:33 | 0:54:36 | |
£16. This is little money. | 0:54:36 | 0:54:40 | |
£16. It's going. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:42 | |
-David! -Wait for the bed to come up. | 0:54:44 | 0:54:46 | |
£16. | 0:54:46 | 0:54:48 | |
-I don't believe that! -You're the expert! | 0:54:48 | 0:54:51 | |
Minus 32 on that last lot. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:53 | |
Which means overall you're minus 30. | 0:54:53 | 0:54:56 | |
An unusual lot, here, the child's wrought iron cot. | 0:54:56 | 0:54:58 | |
What a splendid array of flowers | 0:54:58 | 0:55:00 | |
you could have in that in the conservatory. | 0:55:00 | 0:55:02 | |
Or it could be a child's bed, couldn't it? Right. | 0:55:02 | 0:55:04 | |
What shall we say for it? £100? | 0:55:04 | 0:55:07 | |
£50? Oh, dear. £30? | 0:55:07 | 0:55:11 | |
20, I've got. Thank you. | 0:55:11 | 0:55:13 | |
-£20. -Keep your fingers crossed. | 0:55:13 | 0:55:15 | |
£20. £20. Who's having five? | 0:55:15 | 0:55:19 | |
-That is not good. -25, thank you. | 0:55:19 | 0:55:21 | |
30? 35? No. £30, 30. | 0:55:21 | 0:55:25 | |
Where's five? All done at £30, then. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:28 | |
It's going at £30. | 0:55:28 | 0:55:30 | |
£30, I'm sorry to say, | 0:55:30 | 0:55:34 | |
is minus £90, all right? | 0:55:34 | 0:55:36 | |
I think you're all mean. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
You had £30 of losses before that, | 0:55:38 | 0:55:40 | |
which means overall now you are minus £120. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:44 | |
You girls spent 198. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:46 | |
So far, you're £120 down the...proverbial. | 0:55:46 | 0:55:50 | |
So, what are you going to do about the Mold box? | 0:55:50 | 0:55:52 | |
You were pretty sniffy when you saw that Mold oak box, | 0:55:52 | 0:55:55 | |
because you were full of confidence | 0:55:55 | 0:55:57 | |
because you thought that cot was going to save your bacon. | 0:55:57 | 0:56:00 | |
I'm sorry, the cot has not done it. | 0:56:00 | 0:56:02 | |
Are you going to go with the oak box or not, girls? | 0:56:02 | 0:56:04 | |
-Well, I think we've lost enough anyway - we might as well lose a bit more. -What do you say, Zoe? -Yes. | 0:56:04 | 0:56:10 | |
We'll go for it. | 0:56:10 | 0:56:11 | |
-You agree? -Yes. -Yes. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:13 | |
This is an interesting lot. The oak presentation strongbox. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:16 | |
It was presented to the Ebenezer Chapel here in Mold. £50 worth? | 0:56:16 | 0:56:21 | |
£20 worth? £20, I've got. | 0:56:21 | 0:56:23 | |
£20. £25, £30, | 0:56:23 | 0:56:27 | |
£35, £40, 45, 50... | 0:56:27 | 0:56:32 | |
-One more go. -50 here. -One more go. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:34 | |
£50. 50. All done at £50, then. | 0:56:34 | 0:56:37 | |
No more bids at 50? | 0:56:37 | 0:56:39 | |
-Bad luck, David. -Well, at least it didn't make a loss. | 0:56:39 | 0:56:42 | |
No. In fact, it wiped its face. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:45 | |
-Overall, you are minus £120. -Yeah! | 0:56:45 | 0:56:49 | |
Which is a fair old wodge. But don't tell... | 0:56:49 | 0:56:52 | |
-That's about the price the cot cost. -Yeah, same price as the cot. | 0:56:52 | 0:56:55 | |
Yes. | 0:56:55 | 0:56:57 | |
Don't tell the Reds a thing, OK? | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
-OK. -And we'll reveal all in a moment. -OK. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:02 | |
20 at the back. | 0:57:04 | 0:57:05 | |
Well, what an entertaining programme we've had today, haven't we? | 0:57:11 | 0:57:15 | |
There is a good...chasm between our teams today. | 0:57:15 | 0:57:18 | |
We have the winners, of course. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:21 | |
The runners-up have done spectacularly badly. | 0:57:21 | 0:57:24 | |
So on that happy note, I must reveal that the runners up are...the Blues. | 0:57:24 | 0:57:29 | |
-Minus £120. -Oh! -Is that all? | 0:57:30 | 0:57:34 | |
You've been great fun. Thank you for joining us on the programme. | 0:57:34 | 0:57:38 | |
And now, as if by magic, our musical victors today. Well done, chaps. | 0:57:38 | 0:57:41 | |
-Dave, nice little profit on the condiment. £15 on that. -Good. | 0:57:41 | 0:57:45 | |
And David Harper, Tudric rules, OK? Very good. | 0:57:45 | 0:57:49 | |
Profit of £30 on the bonus buy, so congratulations there. | 0:57:49 | 0:57:52 | |
Overall, then, you are minus £10 and I congratulate you. | 0:57:52 | 0:57:56 | |
Now, are you going to play us out of the show? | 0:57:56 | 0:57:59 | |
-We can. -Why not? | 0:57:59 | 0:58:01 | |
Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yeah? | 0:58:16 | 0:58:19 | |
Yeah! | 0:58:19 | 0:58:21 | |
