Here we are again in Oswestry. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Just a few wee miles from the Welsh border. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
And on today's special one hour long programme, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
we've tweaked the rules a bit! We've taken a bit of a chance. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
But whenever you take a chance, you take a risk. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
And when you take a risk on this programme, you know you're safe, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
because I'm still at the helm! | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Everything will be all right. You're in safe hands! | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
And if you believe that, frankly, you'll believe anything! | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
So, let's go bargain hunting! Yeah! | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
Today, I'm asking the experts to find not one, but two bonus buys. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
Which they'll then show me, I'll give them an opinion, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
but will the teams decide to take one or the other, or none? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
And who will be right and who will be wrong? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Oh, what excitement! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Let's see what's going to keep you spellbound. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
The Reds call on special potions to bring them luck... | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
Can we neutralise this item? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
And the Blues also put mystic magic into the mix... | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
You're stirring good energy into everything you do, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-so that's what you do when you're mixing the pot, you see. -Ah! Right. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
-And what about spells? -I could turn you into a frog, if you like! | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
Let's go meet the teams. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
On today's show we've got two teams of pagans, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
which has to be a first on Bargain Hunt! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
For the Reds, we've got Tricia and Lindsay. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
And for the Blues, we've got Theresa and Julian. Hello, everyone. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-ALL: Hello! -Hello, hello, hello. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
-Tricia, you are what is called a black witch, right? -I am, yes. -Yes. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
Tell us what a black witch is? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
-I do spells for people. -Well, you do a bit of, you know, wing of bat | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
and claw of something or other, boil it up? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
Well, I would cast a spell on a night of a full moon. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
I would get the appropriate herbs and potions ready | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
and I would cast that on the night of a full moon. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
-Mainly your stuff is love, career and health, right? -It is, yes. -Yeah. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
-Yes. -Which is handy, really. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
-You're like the walking NHS, really, aren't you? -I can be! -You can be! | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
How lovely is that? Tell us about your readings. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
My readings, I've been doing the tarot for about 23 years. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
All sorts of people come from all walks of life, male, female, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
-young and old. -And what about the pet bereavement business? | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Yeah, I qualified as a pet bereavement counsellor last year. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-And I do that as well. -So, how does that all work out? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
Well, it's just counselling people who are grieving over | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-the loss of an animal. -Oh, I see. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
I just thought there was a bit of a grey area there. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
So it's something that I was interested in and thought | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
I could help and assist people with. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Lindsay, it says here you're called a white witch? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
-I'm called a white witch, yeah. -What's the training for a white witch, then? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
I don't know if there is any training. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
I haven't done any training. It's a bit of a calling, I think. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
Something that I've always liked since I was a little girl. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
You know, mystical, positive crystals, energies, love. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
Do you know anything much about the tarot, too? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-I've got some tarot cards. They're called Oracle cards. -Yes? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
And I like to do this for my friends and my family, and for myself. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
OK, girls, I think you've been brilliant sports. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
Now, moving on. You were married by two witches, Theresa? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-Yes, two wonderful wise women. -And where were you married? | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
In a wood clearing in Cirencester. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-Is that where a lot of people go to get married? -I don't think so. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
-Oh, you don't? -It was deep, deep in the wood. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
-Now, you like a bit of drama, don't you, Theresa? -I do indeed, yes. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Tell us about that. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
Well, I'm into amateur dramatics and this year we did Summer Holiday. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:19 | |
-Did you? -Yes. And last year I did Titanic. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
And what about Cliff Richard, then? Do you like all those numbers? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
-Yes, yes. But I kind of play the comic parts. -Oh, do you? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-Yes, the walk-on comic parts. -I bet you're jolly good. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
Now, Julian, you're all about keeping traditions alive, right? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
-Yes. -And when you got married, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
-you had this hand-fasting ceremony in the woodland? -That's right. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
And what is hand-fasting? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
Well, a cord which is the length of the combined height of you | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
and your partner is used to bind you together through the whole ceremony. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
And that's where the term when somebody's | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
-"got the measure of you" comes from. -Oh, is it really? -Yes. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
And the term "tying the knot" obviously comes from, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-you know, being bound together. -So, you do a bit of woodworking yourself? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Basically, I like to keep old traditions alive | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
and old skills that are sadly, you know, | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
going and being replaced by the use of power tools and such. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
So I collect and restore old tools | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-and use old methods like pole lathe turning. -Tell us what you make. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
-I make rustic furniture. -Rustic furniture? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Yes, it's a bit more, you know, rough and ready | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
kind of furniture, if you like! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
What else do you do, apart from your woodworking? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Well, my other job is I work in an X-ray department of the hospital. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
My job involves sending and receiving images, MRI scans, | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
CT scans, that sort, to other trusts around the country | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
and to other hospitals around the world. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
Now, you're going to be looking for objects with natural beauty, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
-I guess? -Yes, that's right. -Do you know anything about antiques? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
-A little bit. -Do you? -A little bit. -Oh, good. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
-Been watching the show a bit? -Oh, yes! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Ah, you'll be all right then, I tell you! | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
Now, £300 apiece, here we go, look. £300. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
You know the rules, your experts await and off you go! | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
And very, very, very, very good luck! | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Harry Potter, eat your heart out. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 | |
I think it's going to be an interesting one today. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Let's meet the experts. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
Will his luck rub off? It's Jonathan Pratt for the Reds. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
And hoping things will reflect well on him | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
with the Blues is David Harper. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:15 | |
And don't forget the experts will be really up against it today, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
as they will have to find not one but two bonus buys | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
and I will be telling them, but not the contestants, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
which one I think will make the most profit at auction. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
There's a lot to do, so let's get going. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
What are you ladies interested in? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-Anything goes today. -Anything that jumps out. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-Why? -No plans, just spur of the moment. -This is very... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
-Is there a mystery? -I'm going on the energy. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
-What I'm feeling from the item. -Energy? I need some energy. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-I'm going with the energy of an item. -There's no plan. -Anything goes. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
From psychic energy to a more firmly rooted kind. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
So am I currently hugging a tree? | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-Of course! -What am I getting from it? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
-Positive energy! -Yes. Is it good luck as well? -Indeed. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
And do we need good luck on Bargain Hunt? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-Yes! -Definitely. -We do! | 0:07:07 | 0:07:08 | |
Let's get as much as we can. Quick! Tree hug. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
Charge up and off we go, 60 minutes bargain hunting, come on. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
These are quite good. I'll just point something out here. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-This sort of thing's quite popular now. -Oh, right. -It's Bakelite. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
It's sort of a 1930s... You know more than me. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
It's a market which is very new, I suppose you could say. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:35 | |
Although it's been made back in the '30s and '40s, | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
it's becoming more collectible now. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
I'm only saying that because it's just a different thing. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Just something to think about. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-This lady is... Can I describe you as a medium? -No. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
How do I describe you? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-Just... -Er... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
-Witch. -Urgh! | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
OK. So she's done a reading and the item's going to jump out at her. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
I've not done my shopping this way before. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
I happen to be the seventh child of the seventh child | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
and I have very strong extra-sensory perception, | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
very similar to what you will have. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
We may have an affinity to something. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
Just home in on one of the brooches there. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
Whoa-a-a! That's spooky. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
Those Blues are bewitched by wood. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
They've spotted something straightaway. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
OK, talk to me, Theresa. Why do you like them? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
Well, I think they look really old and it looks really well carved. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-Yep. -They're oak, aren't they? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
First of all, they are definitely oak. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
How do you know that they're oak? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
You can tell by the grain on the back, actually, | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
more so than the front. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
There you go. That is the telltale sign of oak. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
I always describe that as looking like it's got fossils in it. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
It's very simple, isn't it? | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
When you're teaching someone about oak, | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
it looks like there's fossilisation in there | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
and it's cut quarter across the grain. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-You'll understand this, Julian. -Yeah, the raise. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
Yeah, so you get the raise coming through, even on the back. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
OK, so we've got a hunting scene. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Yeah, to be honest, that's the only thing that puts me off it, David. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
-What's that? -Hunting. -Oh, right! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
-Yeah, I liked it until I got close up. -OK. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
Is that a big problem for you? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
-It is a bit, to be honest. -Is it? -Yeah, it is a bit. The one next to it | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
is less hunt-y. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
No, actually, Theresa, can I just show you something? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-I think it's even more hunt-y. -Is it? -Are you ready to be shocked? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-SHE GASPS -I think we have a boar... -Oh, no! | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
..with some dogs. Maybe the dogs are just tickling it. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
It's not what I thought it was when I first looked. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
Would that put you off completely buying it? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
Would it really, the pair of you? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
-Cos I really like that. -Do you? -We're both vegetarians. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
Whoops, try again, David. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
TRIBAL MUSIC | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
Meanwhile, the Reds have also found something made of wood. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
These tribal sticks. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Have you seen anything like that before? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
At auctioneers, we do see them from time to time. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
The market's strongest for the most decorative and the oldest stuff. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
Although history and value is determined by their rarity, | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
they're almost bought as modern art. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Often, these works of art come from French-speaking African countries | 0:10:16 | 0:10:21 | |
and the market is very strong in France and elsewhere, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
but they buy it, actually, as modern art more than anything else, | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
to display. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
-Would you say they go well? -I'd find it difficult at auction. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
OK. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
They're sticking the sticks and continuing the hunt. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
Oh, yeah, that's interesting. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-What do you think of that, David? -What do you think about that? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Well, I don't know. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
It's quite interesting. It looks like a cooking implement. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
It certainly looks that way, doesn't it? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
I think it's a bit like a pressure cooker. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
Like a steamer. Made in Portugal. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
"Made in Portugal" certainly means it's after the First World War, | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
because the "Made in" bit was added to the "Portugal" bit | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
after the end of the First World War, so it's after 1920-ish, | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
it's not very heavy. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
It doesn't look great inside, does it? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
-No, it doesn't. -It looks better outside than it does inside. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
It does, yeah. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
I don't think it's one for me. What about for you? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
I think, from a distance, it looked fantastic. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-Well, a lot of people do, don't they? -Yes! | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Now, now, David. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
Looks like the Reds have found something rather familiar. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
Headband, headband. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Bow, even on the same side. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-Is that the only side you wear it? I don't know! -Yes. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
-Hair's the same, pretty much. -Yes. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-I was just drawn to it. -It's you! -Yeah. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-And what does it say on the back? -"Little Angel." -"Little Angel." | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
There we are. It's fate. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
It's a little scent bottle. This is basically plastic, I suppose. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
And a glass bottom. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Yeah, not exactly an antique, is it? | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
What are they thinking? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
It's kind of fun. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
It's not what I would choose. It's your game and your choice. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
The ladies like this "Little Angel" scent bottle, is it, I guess? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
I can do that for £3. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
-You like it? -Yes. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
Then at the very least, you'll make a couple of quid out of it. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
-Somebody will like that. -Goodness sake. -Somebody will like that. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
I reckon go for that for £3, get it in the bag, one done, | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-thank you very much. -OK, so, we're definitely having this item. -Yeah. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
So I'm going to just neutralise this to clear the energy | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
that's already on it and just give it a fresh start, | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
ready before it goes to the sale. SPOOKY MUSIC | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
-What is that stuff? -That's it. -What is it? -It's witches' salt. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
Right. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:51 | |
So it's just to neutralise the energy field on the item, | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
because the item will have had many previous owners | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
and it's come from a different location, | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
so that's just to give it a fresh start | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
for when we try to get a good sale. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:05 | |
Why not? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
Take hold of that and yes, I think... | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
You don't want to try and haggle, it's pointless, isn't it? | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
£3 is fine, thank you. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Well, each to their own, | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
but, hey, for £3, there's no denying three's a magic number. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |
Meanwhile, the Blues have their eyes on a jacket. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
Will it fit the bill? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
-That's a good-quality jacket. -It is. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
We know we've got the brand and the cloth itself, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
how would you describe that? | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
It's pure wool. It's 100% pure wool. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
-Sometimes people would bring up why the patterns are like they are. -Yep. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
If you think of the environment that they would have been worn in, | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
a lot of people would wear them to match into the environment, | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
so often they'll reflect the colour of heathers | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
and the different seasons, | 0:13:45 | 0:13:46 | |
so you can almost say they're like a seasonal cloth. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
So that new, as a tweed jacket from this very high-quality maker, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
is going to be 250 quid? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
-Easily. -Yeah, that sort of money? | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
-It's going to make not very much in auction. How much is it? -25. -25. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
There's some damage in the lining... | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
SELLER: I think it's just a little bit of damp from the air, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
to be quite honest. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
THERESA: What's the best that you'd do on that? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
I could do 18, but that would be the absolute bottom dollar. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:17 | |
What we'll do is I'll model it for you, right? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
Let's see if I can add a bit of value. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
Probably not. I'll probably now devalue it. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-Thank you very much. -There you go, sir. -Thank you very much. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Let's see if it fits me. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-Hey, I tell you what... -It does, actually. -Hello, baby! | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-Yes! -What do you reckon? -It looks gorgeous. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
Just need a cravat now. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:37 | |
-I'll pinch that off you later. -It's better than the one you had on! | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-I know, look at me! It feels very good. -It does. -Very good indeed. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:46 | |
-Looks lovely. -So how much is it? | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
SELLER: 18 is the very, very best... | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
Hasn't it gone down now I'm modelling it and ruining it? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-No, I'm afraid not. -OK. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-I have to make a living. -Theresa, what do you reckon? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
What is this going to sell for? | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
I mean, I think that I would like to offer you somewhere around £15. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:07 | |
Well, we started at 25, I've come down to 18. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
Shall we say 16? Then I've come down a bit and you've gone up a bit. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-I think that's a fair deal. -Marvellous. OK, thank you very much. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
-And you're not keeping it! -Get it off me! | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
If you can get it off me, you can have it. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:24 | |
That's the jacket bought. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
Now, who's wearing the trousers? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
What I want to show you is this here. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
This object here, I spotted. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
Late 19th century, it could be some sort of Masonic thing. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
-This is the Grand Lodge of England. -I've seen little things like that. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
And this, I think this is later. This is inscribed | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
for 1960. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:47 | |
Lot of work involved. Nice, decorative object. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
It could be ours for under £100. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
Well, I've no expertise on that myself. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
No, I'm thinking about the feelings, | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
what you get from something like this. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
How many people are going to walk in here and buy this? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
Yeah. Exactly. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
So you've got to take something from here | 0:16:02 | 0:16:03 | |
and put it into auction with the whole internet. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
The internet now is such a powerful tool | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
that people can rely on the internet | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
to source goods from all over the country, | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
and these guys won't travel now, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:14 | |
because they can buy lots of things in various places at the same time, | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
and so the likelihood is the interest in this will be... | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
-Really unusual. -..primarily be through the internet, | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
one way or the other. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
I think it's an interesting thing. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
Well, I'm happy with that. Are you? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-I'm putting my trust in him here. -Yes. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
So, really, we need to ask the stallholder, | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
who is by chance standing here. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
I think this is very interesting, | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
and I don't think you're going to be able to sell it very well here, | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
because I don't think the right buyers would be coming. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
What are you asking for it at the moment? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
-Well, £100 initially. -Initially £100? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
£70? | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
£75. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
£75 doesn't seem... | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
too bad. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:57 | |
How about £70, and I'll do you an energy test with my pendulum? | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-SHE LAUGHS -What's one of those? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-Five quid for an energy test. -£71. -£70's fine. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Well, I think, you know, I think that's an interesting object. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
I really do think that's an interesting object. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
-Can we neutralise this item? -Do we neutralise this? OK. -Yes. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
I thought you were neutralising in terms of spray form nowadays, isn't it? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-Not the traditional way. -OK. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-Is it going to disappear now? -Yeah. -In a puff of smoke! | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
-There we are. -There we go. -Smells much better. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
OK. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
If the pendulum turns to the right, it's for positive energy, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:41 | |
and if it goes to the left, it's for lower energy, OK? | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
So if you just keep your hand held very still for me. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
Oh, straightaway it's going to the right. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
-So that's nice high positive energy from yourself. -That's good. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
So that's excellent. So good health and good luck to you. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
-Thank you very much. -Thank you very much. Thank you. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
Ah, more hocus-pocus. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
Let's hope they get positive energy at the auction. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
All this witchcraft - what's next in the pot? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-You see something that you like? -Oh, here's a big cauldron. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-OK. -Yeah. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:18 | |
-Does that excite you, Theresa? -Yeah! | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
-Does it? Tell me why. -Yes. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
Wow. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:23 | |
I just think it would be great outside on a hot night | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
-with a big soup in it... -Wow! | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
..with all your friends round it dipping their bread in it. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-You'd need a big fire for that, wouldn't you? -You would. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
-And it's definitely an outdoor one. -It is, it is. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
There you go. There's your big hanging hook thing. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
It's got some age, hasn't it? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
I mean, the thing is that the style of it, | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
it can be hundreds of years old, the style, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
but let's have a look at the quality of it - | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
how well it's constructed and casted. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
-Um, it's OK. -It's all there, but it's... | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
-It's all there. It's not... -It's not broken or anything, is it? | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
No. It's been repainted. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
It could have actually been in a great big country house | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
in a huge kitchen making food for copious amounts of people. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
-Oh, wow. Yeah. -Couldn't it, I suppose? -Yeah, wow. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
It's got some real stories to tell, hasn't it? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-You really like that, don't you? -I do, yeah. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
Stirring the pot, and all the stories that you could stir into that. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
And all the things that might have been in there all over those years. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
-Can you imagine? -What about this kind of pagan sort of connection? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-Is this one of the reasons why? -Yeah. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
You're stirring good energy into everything you do, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
-so that's what you do when you're mixing the pot. -Ah, right. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-And what about spells? -I could turn you into a frog if you like. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
No, that happened a very long time ago, Theresa, I can tell you. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
-Let me go and get a price. -OK. -You keep chatting. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
-Yep, definitely like that. -It's great. Yeah, I'm really glad that we found it. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-It's so heavy, though. -I haven't felt it yet. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Blimey, yeah. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Right, I don't know whether you're going to be shocked or not here. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
-Oh, no. -You've bought cauldrons before, haven't you? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
-How much do you think it is? Absolute best. -Absolute best? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-£40-£50 mark at the most. -No, bet you he wants £120... | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
Yeah, you're closer. The very best is £90. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
£90. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
Is somebody else going to...? Are we going to make a profit? | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
I think it's all its money. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:18 | |
Do you know what I like about it? | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
The fact that it could be all of its money, or it stands a chance. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
-It could be. -It's an oddity. -It's so unusual. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
What would it cost to buy new? Quite a lot of money. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
Quite a lot of money. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
It could lose you 50 quid, but it could make you 50. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
Are you sure that's the best he can do? | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
-Do you want me to try again? -Yeah. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
-I've just spoken to my team there. -Right. -Could it be £80? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-I'll have to see first. -OK. Ask him quickly. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
-£85. -£85, thank you. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
OK, back in a minute. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Right, it's a bit like the Chuckle Brothers, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
but, listen, £85. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-£85. -That is it. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
That is it. I love taking a chance, though. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
I can tell you, honestly, you don't make money ever | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
-without taking chances. -Would you, if you were here? | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
I would take a punt on it. I would. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
And if I lost 40 quid, I wouldn't cry. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
If I made 50 quid, I'd go celebrate. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
-OK, yep. -Go for it. Shake the hand. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
-I'll go and tell her. -Good deal done. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
That's two items apiece, | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
and it means there's time to take a look at an interesting item | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
I found, which I know will appeal to the wood-loving Blues. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
How about that for a bit of Adam elegance? | 0:21:31 | 0:21:36 | |
Isn't that an attractive-looking hall chair? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
Well, of course, the workmanship | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
that's gone into the back of this chair is extreme. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
This quality of carving does not crop up that often. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
Later in the 19th century, I can guarantee you | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
that carving like this would have been applied to the mahogany surface. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
But as it is, all of this is carved out of one solid piece. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
And if you rub your finger over that leafage | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
on the outside edge, it almost feels as if it's plastic | 0:22:02 | 0:22:07 | |
or some kind of moulding, | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
but actually, it's Honduras mahogany. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
We've got three carved leaves that go to make that central finial, | 0:22:11 | 0:22:17 | |
and then either side, a swan neck pediment, | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
the elegant swooping neck of a swan, look. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
And it's unlikely that you'll find anywhere | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
a finer piece of mahogany carving | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
on any piece of furniture. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
It is exquisite. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
Unfortunately, the rest of the chair rather lets it down. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
The number one problem being that hole through the bottom. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
Was it made with a hole in the bottom? No. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Was it made to take a potty? | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
No. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
What this thing had in the middle of this circle | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
was what's called a "dished" piece of mahogany. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
In other words, there was a little insert of mahogany underneath, | 0:22:56 | 0:23:01 | |
so that when you sat on this hall chair, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
it would have a little indentation. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
It had a bottom to it. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
But something happened. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
Somebody put their foot on it. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
A great big heavy person was visiting | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
and they had a bad accident. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
Whatever happened, somebody at some point | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
cut out the damaged central dished piece, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
and they left an open hole, | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
and it then got passed on to an incontinent member of the family, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
and it had a second life. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
But the important thing is it doesn't have to stay like this, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
because a decent cabinet-maker will remove the remains | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
of the existing seat, | 0:23:42 | 0:23:43 | |
plant another dished section underneath, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
and hey presto, the seat will then look splendido | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
and can be used for its proper purpose, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
which is, as I say, a hall chair. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
So what is the world's best Georgian carved back hall chair worth? | 0:23:55 | 0:24:03 | |
Well, surprisingly little, if it's got no seat. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:08 | |
Actually, you could buy this hall chair in a fair for £50, | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
which is exactly what I did. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
What would it cost to have a new seat put into it? | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
Cabinet-maker, replacing the panel in the seat, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
might cost you another £100. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
And what might the finished chair be worth at the end of the day? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
It might be worth the top end of £400. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
So there's a profit margin in it, | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
but the whole point is for £50, | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
this thing is a belter. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
So, back to the teams. With two items each what's next on the agenda? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:49 | |
We have five minutes to go and we really have nothing at the moment that's inspiring us now. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
I quite liked the very first thing we saw, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
-the little pieces of jewellery, the panda and the ladies. -OK. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
That means running into the next stall which does take time. OK? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
-Yes. -Possibly. Anything else you've seen? -We can run. -We can run. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
So the Reds are running off to find their last item, but what's this? | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
The Blues have found a bit of jewellery. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
-Do you know what's lovely about this piece of jewellery? -What? Go on. -They're garnets. -Right. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
-Lovely, thank you. -Thanks very much. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
So tell me what's the significance of garnet? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
I was very close to my grandmother who sadly passed away | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
a number of years ago and I own her ring that she was | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
given as a 21st birthday present and it has a garnet in it. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
Garnets come in a variety of hues but the most common colour is red | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
and they've been used in jewellery since the Bronze Age. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
The word "garnet" comes from the Latin "granatum" meaning | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
"pomegranate seed", reflecting their shape and colour. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:54 | |
-I think that's beautiful. -So do I. -It's really unusual. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
OK, let's have a look. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
We've got 925 and a Birmingham mark and it is beautiful silver. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:06 | |
I think that is absolutely delicious. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
-What price has it got on it? -58. -58. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
Where is that lovely young lady? | 0:26:13 | 0:26:14 | |
What do you think? What could we do on that one? | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
-STALLHOLDER: I can't knock a lot off this. -You can't? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
-I could do 52. -Really? -Yes. That would be the best on that. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
Well photographed online, that could make 100 quid all day long. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
-Could it? -It could. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
-I think we should go for it. -I think we should go for it. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
I think we're going to go for it. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
-Thanks very much. -Thank you very much. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
Well done, Blues, the red stones did it for you. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
Talking of Reds, I wonder how they are getting on? | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
Hello, I've been drawn back because you told me | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
you were the seventh child of the seventh child, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
so that has stuck with me and I've come back to buy from you. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
STALLHOLDER: Extrasensory perception has come between us. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
That's right. We're thinking of one of these... | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
There's Joan Crawford or the panda. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
OK. I've made a decision and I'm going with the panda. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
Right, the panda is 60 and the best I can do is 50. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
Given the time, we don't have a lot of choice. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
OK, yes, I'm happy with the panda. I think we should go for it. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
Wonderful. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
That's it. Time is up. Why don't we take a snapshot of how the Reds got on? | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
Sniffing a bargain, they handed over all of £3 | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
for the novelty scent bottle. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
The Masonic pendant set them back | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
a bit more - it cost them £70. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
And they were smitten by the novelty brooch in the shape | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
of a panda which they bought for £50. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
-You like to push the boundaries, don't you? -Yes. -The things we bought as well. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
What's your favourite piece? | 0:27:56 | 0:27:57 | |
-My favourite piece is the perfume bottle. -That's your favourite? | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
-Favourite favourite? -Yes. -What about you? -The perfume bottle. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
Is it going to be the piece that's going to bring the biggest profit? | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
-I think so. -You think so. -Yes. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
Do you agree about everything, you two? | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
-But that necklace thing was nice. -It's a very smart thing. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
We do a little review of your objects later. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
But right now, how much did you spend? | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
-123. -I would like 177, please. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
There we go. There we go. Just as quick as you like. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:26 | |
-That is a pretty cool amount of money... -Yes. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
..which in itself is a challenge, but today for this special | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
programme you get the special £100 bonus buy extra wodge. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:38 | |
-Are you happy with that? -Absolutely. -Two bonus buys, please. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
Just like that. You can't take too long about it. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
We want your very best work here. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
And when you've done it will you bring it back and show me and | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
we'll have a little bit of a chat before the girls get to see them? | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
-Absolutely. -Perfect. Happy, girls? -Happy. -Happy, JP? -Absolutely ecstatic. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:58 | |
We are ecstatic here too, | 0:28:58 | 0:28:59 | |
so why don't we check out what the Blue team bought? | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
They felt the stylish tweed jacket was a snip at £16. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
Could they brew up a winning score with a cast-iron cauldron | 0:29:07 | 0:29:12 | |
which cost them £85? | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
Lastly they opted for something more dainty - a silver and garnet | 0:29:14 | 0:29:18 | |
bracelet which they bought for £52. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
-How good was it on a scale of good? -Very good. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
-Up there with the tens, was it? -More than that. -More than that. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
-Tell us, which is your favourite piece? -The bracelet. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:31 | |
-The bracelet is your favourite. You agree? -I have to agree with that. Definitely. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:36 | |
Is it going to bring the biggest profit? | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
-No. -What is? -The tweed jacket. -The tweed jacket. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:43 | |
-Do you agree with that? -Yes. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
-You do? -You can't beat a bit of nice tweed. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:48 | |
You can't beat a bit of nice tweed. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
You are so right. You're going to do very well on this programme, | 0:29:50 | 0:29:54 | |
I can tell you. That's that sorted out. How much did you spend? | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
-£153. -153. I'd like 147, please. Thank you. Well done. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:04 | |
You whip it out. That's marvellous. And you've had a good time? | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
-Brilliant. -That's the main thing on Bargain Hunt. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
We want everybody to have the most blissful time, including David Harper. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
-I always do. -Particularly when you do this bonus buy business, | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
because today you're going to get a special treat. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:20 | |
-Here comes another £100... -You are so good to me. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
..for the special bonus buy you've got to go and find. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
-You've got to find two. -Two? -Two bonus buys. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
-And when you've found them bring them back and we'll have a chat. -All right. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
Both of our experts are on the hunt for their bonus buys. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:38 | |
Remember, JP has £177 of leftover lolly for the normal team | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
bonus buy and £100 for his special bonus buy. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:47 | |
There is £120 for the dressing table. Thank you. I'll be back for the other bit in a minute. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:52 | |
Thanks very much. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:55 | |
Right, here we are. Expert buy. Very pleased. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
If you go and look in half the stalls around this fair you | 0:30:58 | 0:31:02 | |
will find something like this priced up separately. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:06 | |
Little brush there with a silver mount, priced up separately. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
You've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
hand mirror, eight, hand brush, nine, | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
that piece there and a button hook, ten, | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
11 pieces and some leather in a fitted case | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
for the princely sum of £120. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:22 | |
It's a really good deal. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:24 | |
And it should make me, crikey, £30 or £40 at least. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
That's the team's bonus buy sorted. Now what about the special buy? | 0:31:31 | 0:31:35 | |
What I've bought here has cost me | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
the princely sum of £55. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
It's a little embossed silver and pierced box | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
and cover with a little glass liner. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
And it's a nice thing for a lady's dressing table, | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
keep little bits in it. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
It's made in Chester in 1907 and for £55 | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
I'm sure it's going to make me something. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
I've found a hidden corner in the fair away from the contestants. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:02 | |
So, JP, let's have a butcher's. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
-Well, it looks as if you've been on your travels. -Yes. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
-I've stolen one jar out of there. -No, you haven't, have you? -No. -No, you haven't. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
OK, fine. This is the team's bonus buy? | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
I looked at it as the sum of all the parts. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
-This purple is fantastic, isn't it? -Yes, it's pretty cool. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:18 | |
-It's a very good colour. -This sort of vintage luggage is quite popular. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:24 | |
-This probably started off life with a canvas cover. -Yes, definitely. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
-Which has long since gone. -It's protected it for a bit. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:32 | |
And it's in a pretty good state. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
-So you're pretty cool about that and you spent how much? -£120. -£120. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:38 | |
That's great. And the special bonus buy is that. Is it a string box? | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
-No. Hopefully there's no hole in it. -OK, fine. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
-So it's not a string box. It's just a little dressing jar, is it? -Yes. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
It's a lady's dressing table thing. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
It's pierced so you can see through the sides. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:51 | |
The condition is nice. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:52 | |
-How much? -£55. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
I don't see a big profit in either of these. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:56 | |
If you asked which is going to bring the most I'd be in two minds. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
Eeny, meeny, miny... And probably finish up with this, actually. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
I'd go with that too. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:03 | |
On the basis that somebody might go £150. Anyway there we are. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:07 | |
That's my prediction. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:08 | |
We could all be right or wrong | 0:33:08 | 0:33:09 | |
and the teams may not go with either, but never mind, | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
let's in the meanwhile look at how poor David Harper is getting on. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:16 | |
David is still looking for both his bonus buys. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
For his normal one, the team bonus buy, | 0:33:20 | 0:33:23 | |
he's left with £147 of leftover lolly. Go, Dave. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:27 | |
All the way through the shopping you'll remember that we've | 0:33:27 | 0:33:30 | |
been talking about wood. We began by hugging a tree. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:34 | |
We've been looking for wooden carvings, | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
but we didn't buy anything wood, so I was determined to do it. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
And I have. I think this is a special little piece. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:44 | |
Probably First World War. A tiny piece of rosewood, | 0:33:44 | 0:33:48 | |
very plain and simple, | 0:33:48 | 0:33:50 | |
cut in the shape of a heart, | 0:33:50 | 0:33:51 | |
bound with a piece of brass in the shape of a horseshoe. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
And then on it is written very basically in brass, "Touch Wood". | 0:33:55 | 0:34:00 | |
It's a touch piece. It's a piece of good luck. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
It's the kind of thing that guys took with them to the | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
First World War, '14 to '18, | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
and before they went over the top they would touch wood for good luck. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:13 | |
So that's my normal bonus buy and I spotted something pretty | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
interesting just over there with the special £100. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
-So, what about that special buy? Will David branch out? -Cheers. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:27 | |
Now, I just couldn't leave without buying this thing. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:31 | |
Come on, it is gorgeous. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:33 | |
What it is, quite, I'm not sure so I'm looking forward to | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
talking to Tim, but I know that it's possibly Indian. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
It's obviously wood. It's got lots of age to it | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
and it represents life and all the wonderful things. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
We've got fish, we've got fruit, we've got flowers. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
And we've got some carving on the underside here and a signature. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
It's probably Hindu and it may well have been a lid to something. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:56 | |
I don't care. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:57 | |
To me, it's a beautiful piece of artwork | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
and for £60, I think it stands a chance of making a profit. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:07 | |
Well, David, gone a bit woody, haven't you? | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
I've gone all wood, Tim, because my Pagan pair were searching for wood | 0:35:09 | 0:35:14 | |
throughout the whole shopping experience and we didn't buy anything wood at all. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:18 | |
-The team's bonus buy is this fellow? -Yes. -Which says, "touch wood". | 0:35:18 | 0:35:22 | |
-Touch wood. -Now, this touch on the back is very soft, | 0:35:22 | 0:35:26 | |
it's almost like rubbing your thumb over a bit of velvet. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
Peaceful, isn't it? | 0:35:29 | 0:35:30 | |
Yeah, because the touch of 100 years of somebody just doing exactly that. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:36 | |
So, that's not made in the trenches, is it? It's made somewhere else? | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
-Yeah, I don't think it was made in the trenches. -It's a good luck charm that somebody would have sent | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
to a loved one in the trenches. Very soulful. How much? | 0:35:43 | 0:35:47 | |
-£25. -OK, that's all right. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
-Very nice. -OK. -Now what's this old lump then? | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
Well, I'm hoping you might help me out here, | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
because my brain has been whirring. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
Well, I've seen loads of these. You'd put a pot on it. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:59 | |
You'd put something on it because you're on a damp old floor | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
and whatever you've got sitting on top of there isn't directly | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
connected with the ground. What did you pay? I gave you 100. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
-You gave me 100 and I paid 60. -Did you? OK, fine. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
I have to make my prediction between the two | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
as to which is going to bring the biggest profit | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
and I think that is much more likely to bring the biggest profit. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:18 | |
OK. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:19 | |
While the teams head off to the auction, | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
let's take a breather and explore one of the most delightful | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
houses in Cornwall which I visited on my travels. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:29 | |
When you visit Cotehele House here in Cornwall, it is as if | 0:36:29 | 0:36:33 | |
time has stood still. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
In fact, the principal part of the building is largely unaltered | 0:36:35 | 0:36:40 | |
since Tudor times. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
It was Piers Edgecombe around 1500 who remodelled the chapel and that | 0:36:42 | 0:36:48 | |
is today home to a fascinating piece of horological history. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:53 | |
BELL CHIMES | 0:36:58 | 0:37:03 | |
What about that? Is that not extraordinary? | 0:37:10 | 0:37:15 | |
In a corner of the chapel, concealed behind a door, | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
we have an incredibly early clock. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:24 | |
Technically, this is a type of turret clock | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |
but it's got a very early movement. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
This type of movement is called verge and foliot | 0:37:30 | 0:37:34 | |
and the power of the clock, the escaping of time, happens | 0:37:34 | 0:37:40 | |
as a result of those two weights, the stone one and the metal one, | 0:37:40 | 0:37:45 | |
which go up a chute when it's wound and when they descend, | 0:37:45 | 0:37:50 | |
that power escapes through the verge wheel and the foliot. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:57 | |
The foliot acting like a pendulum but this is before the days | 0:37:57 | 0:38:03 | |
of pendulums, because this thing dates back to the late 1400s. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:09 | |
Extraordinary. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:10 | |
But how's it going to be for our teams today who've been | 0:38:28 | 0:38:32 | |
up against the clock? Are they about to strike gold over at the auction? | 0:38:32 | 0:38:37 | |
# So ferry across the Mersey | 0:38:39 | 0:38:43 | |
# Cos this land's the place I love | 0:38:43 | 0:38:48 | |
# And here I'll stay | 0:38:48 | 0:38:52 | |
# Here I'll stay... # | 0:38:52 | 0:38:55 | |
Well, I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to be back | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
in Liverpool, a city we don't visit often, and to be here | 0:38:57 | 0:39:03 | |
in the company of Adam Partridge in his very own city centre saleroom. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
-Adam. -Welcome, Tim. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:08 | |
-My gosh, this is a good place, isn't it? -Well, I'm glad you like it. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:12 | |
-It's pulsing with life and vigour. -That's Liverpool for you. -Liverpool. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
Anyway, talking of pulsing, how does this little scent bottle take you? | 0:39:16 | 0:39:21 | |
Does that make your pulse race? | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
It made me apoplectic with rage when that came in. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
You don't like scent bottles? | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
I have no problem with scent bottles but I prefer Lalique ones | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
or silver mounted ones or some sort of quality scent bottles. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:34 | |
This one you can still buy today from a major department store | 0:39:34 | 0:39:40 | |
-or online, full of scent, for £10. -Can you? | 0:39:40 | 0:39:44 | |
Well, our team paid £3 for that one empty. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:39:47 | 0:39:48 | |
I mean, it's crackers, isn't it? How much have you put on it then? | 0:39:48 | 0:39:51 | |
Well, a generous five to ten | 0:39:51 | 0:39:52 | |
because I can't start putting estimates of £1 to £2. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
Yes, OK, fine. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:56 | |
But then to something completely different. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
We've gone with this rather handsome bit of Masonic regalia. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
Yes, quite impressive, isn't it? There's some work in there, | 0:40:02 | 0:40:05 | |
there is a lot of metal, a lot of enamelling. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:07 | |
It's an impressive-looking piece of regalia | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
-and we see lots of it through the saleroom, different kinds. -Do you? | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
-Yeah. -Are these made of silver or are these bits...? | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
Well, there's not a hallmark in sight, Tim, so we've had to call it, "white metal". | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
-Well, there it is, if it's not hallmarked you have to sell it as white metal. -Yeah. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
-And what's it worth? -30-50 quid. -OK, £70 paid. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
-And lastly is the Stein brooch. -Yeah. -Now, Lea Stein. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:31 | |
Plastic jewellery's oddball stuff, isn't it? | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
Well, some of the earlier stuff by Lea Stein's quite, | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
-quite desirable, quite valuable. But I think that's... -Later? | 0:40:36 | 0:40:40 | |
-Because they do make these later reproductions, don't they? -Yes. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
And that's just a bit convenient, being a panda | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
having a bit of a chomp at a bit of bamboo. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:48 | |
Well, that might make it quite commercial, perhaps, | 0:40:48 | 0:40:51 | |
but I can't see that being worth more than 20 quid or so. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
OK, £50 paid. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:55 | |
So, this team uniquely have spent more than the auctioneer has | 0:40:55 | 0:41:00 | |
any semblance of recommending as an estimate, so, | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
it means that they're going to need one of their bonus buys | 0:41:03 | 0:41:07 | |
but let's go and have a look at both of them. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:10 | |
-Tricia, Lindsay, excited? -Yes. -Yeah. OK, very nice. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:14 | |
Now, JP, show us what you bought. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
There we are. Now, one of those is the team bonus buy. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
You gave JP £177 to go and buy this, which piece is it, JP? | 0:41:22 | 0:41:27 | |
-OK. -It's not just a suitcase. -OK. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:32 | |
Inside you have a whole number of little silver-topped bits | 0:41:32 | 0:41:36 | |
-and pieces so it's a dressing case. -How much did you pay? | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
-I didn't blow all the budget but I spent £120. -OK. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:44 | |
I think there's room for profit. It's not going to go tearing away | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
but I think there's room for profit. | 0:41:47 | 0:41:49 | |
Unusually for these special programmes, | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
because we've given JP an additional £100 for the special bonus buy, | 0:41:51 | 0:41:56 | |
which has to be this little pot. Tell us about it. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
It's a little lady's dressing table pot. It's glass. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
Chester 1907, there we are. Nice little thing. That cost me £55. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:06 | |
-Well, I quite like that as well. -I thought you might. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
-Are you happy with that, girls? -Mmm. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:10 | |
Now, listen, after the sale of your first three items, | 0:42:10 | 0:42:12 | |
that will be the moment for your choice. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:14 | |
Have a wee think, girls, because right now we are going to | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
check out with the auctioneer what he thinks about JP's bonus buys. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:21 | |
Right, Adam, two bonus buys, look, this is the team's bonus buy, | 0:42:23 | 0:42:27 | |
what do you think of that? | 0:42:27 | 0:42:28 | |
The toilet case, well, we see them quite often, it's all right, | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
it's missing a couple of bits but overall it's OK. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
It's got a mixture of fitments, some are Chester marked, | 0:42:34 | 0:42:36 | |
some are London marked, all are around 1911 and I would imagine it | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
-should make 70 to 100 quid, perhaps a touch more. -OK. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
-Well, £120 they paid. The special bonus buy is this little fella. -Yes. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:48 | |
-Dressing table pot. -Yeah. It's all right as well, isn't it? | 0:42:48 | 0:42:51 | |
A bit bashed. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:52 | |
A bit bashed, bit of a glass liner, bit of a chip on it, but... | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
Nice bit of Chester for you. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:56 | |
Chester silver, again, close to here, 30 to £50 estimate. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |
We'll make that, maybe a touch more, but I can't see it... | 0:43:00 | 0:43:04 | |
-Sure. -..jogging on for much more. -30 to 50 is your estimate? -Yeah. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
£55 they paid and funnily enough, my prediction was that the | 0:43:07 | 0:43:11 | |
dressing case would make the most profit but of course | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
I won't be telling the Reds which bonus buy I put my money on. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Moving on to the Blues, | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
well, we've got a tweed jacket by Daks. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
Which looks like something that some old schoolmaster might have worn. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
We do sell clothing and textiles here but generally of a vintage nature, | 0:43:27 | 0:43:31 | |
-generally dresses, fur coats. -Something a bit dressy? | 0:43:31 | 0:43:35 | |
-Proper vintage. But a tweed jacket? -Not very vintage, is it? | 0:43:35 | 0:43:39 | |
-Not very dressy. -A bit of a rural lot as well. -OK, what's it worth then, Adam Partridge? | 0:43:39 | 0:43:44 | |
Well, I'll be putting 20 to £30 but to be honest I was quite hopeful there. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:48 | |
OK, £16 paid and Theresa really rated it | 0:43:48 | 0:43:52 | |
-so, we'll see what happens. -Did she? | 0:43:52 | 0:43:54 | |
Yeah, don't know why, just like she rated this oval cauldron | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
which would be very handy if you happened to be a witch. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
Yeah, or you could, you could make a big pot of scouse in it. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
What is a pot of scouse, please? | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
-Scouse is a stew that they eat up here. -Is it? | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
-That's why they're called Scousers. -Is that a fact? | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
They're called Scousers because they eat a certain type of stew called scouse? | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
Yes, or, "lobby scouse," I think is the full term for it. | 0:44:13 | 0:44:16 | |
Would you want to cook your scouse in that particular pot? | 0:44:16 | 0:44:19 | |
-Not really, no. -No? Me neither, not with all that rust. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:21 | |
It's a good big pot though, isn't it? A good witch's cauldron. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
It certainly is. If you're doing a Macbeth, that is the pot for you. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:29 | |
-Yeah. -So, hubble bubble, what's it worth? | 0:44:29 | 0:44:31 | |
-Lots of trouble, 30 to 50 quid. -That is trouble. £85 they paid. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:37 | |
-So, it'll take more than wing of bat to sort that out? -It will. -Now. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
-I can't see that happening. -Me neither. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
Now, what about the continental silver bracelet? | 0:44:43 | 0:44:45 | |
-I don't like it. -Do you not? -Not really. It's silver, yes. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
It's '95 continental silver, I don't think there's a lot of age | 0:44:48 | 0:44:51 | |
-to it, is there? -No, but it is silver. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:54 | |
I put 20 to £30 estimate which I think was quite generous. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:58 | |
They paid £52, I don't think they are going to make a profit | 0:44:58 | 0:45:00 | |
but I think they'll get somewhere close, they ought to. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:03 | |
They should make 20 or 30 quid of it but again it's the sort of thing | 0:45:03 | 0:45:05 | |
we would probably put in a job lot normally, costume jewellery. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
I suppose you would, I suppose you would. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:10 | |
However we go with this, I've a funny feeling they're going to need | 0:45:10 | 0:45:13 | |
one or other of those bonus buys and let's go | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
and have a look at the expert showing them. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
Now, Julian, Theresa, this is fun, isn't it? | 0:45:19 | 0:45:22 | |
Two bonus buys, David, show us the team's bonus buy, for which | 0:45:22 | 0:45:27 | |
you were given £147 of leftover lolly. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:30 | |
-Oh! -It's a good luck charm. First World War. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:34 | |
Soldier's good luck charm. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:36 | |
Something to touch just before he goes over the top. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:39 | |
-How much did you spend on it? -25. -Oh, yeah, that's OK. | 0:45:39 | 0:45:43 | |
Well, there we go, that is the team's bonus buy. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:46 | |
Now, David, show us the special bonus buy. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:48 | |
-Here we go, ready? Wood. -Oh! | 0:45:48 | 0:45:52 | |
Oh, I quite like that. | 0:45:52 | 0:45:53 | |
-So, what sort of age is that? -I think it's 19th century. | 0:45:55 | 0:45:59 | |
It's got to have 100 years to it. We're looking at India here. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:03 | |
-It's teak wood, hand-carved. -Do you think it's a mould for something? | 0:46:03 | 0:46:07 | |
-It could be. -It's a nice idea. That's a very valid idea. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:12 | |
It looks like more value for money than this little thing. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:14 | |
-It probably is! I paid £60 for that. -Oh, right. -Yeah. -OK. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:20 | |
-I know which I prefer. -Ask him how much profit it's going to make. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:24 | |
Ooh, ooh. Now, that's a very tricky question. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:27 | |
That, I'm afraid to tell you, if people don't understand it, | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
it could make 20 quid. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:31 | |
But, it's one of those objects that could make £120. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:35 | |
And that's why I love it because nobody can actually value it. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:39 | |
OK, team, two difficult choices there when your moment comes, | 0:46:39 | 0:46:42 | |
but right now, for the audience at home, | 0:46:42 | 0:46:44 | |
let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's bonus buys. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:49 | |
Right then, Adam, bonus buys, two of. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:54 | |
-Do you like that First World War charm? -I do quite like that, yeah. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:59 | |
-I can't recall having seen one before. -I've never seen one. -No. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:02 | |
And the whole business about touching wood for luck, | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
and you'd tuck it into your tunic pocket | 0:47:05 | 0:47:07 | |
and you'd be at that terrible moment before you go over the top, | 0:47:07 | 0:47:12 | |
you'd grip it and you'd so want to live, wouldn't you? | 0:47:12 | 0:47:15 | |
I think it's terribly evocative. | 0:47:15 | 0:47:17 | |
I agree with you, I quite like that and to me that timber feels | 0:47:17 | 0:47:20 | |
as though it might be part of an aeroplane propeller or something like that. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:24 | |
I don't know if I'm over romanticising this | 0:47:24 | 0:47:26 | |
-but could it be made from debris? -It could be, couldn't it? | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
-Trench art? -It's poignant and it's powerful. What's it worth? | 0:47:29 | 0:47:33 | |
-20 quid. -OK. £25 paid. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:37 | |
The second bonus buy, the special bonus buy, | 0:47:37 | 0:47:40 | |
is this fella in hardwood which I suppose is Indian, is it? | 0:47:40 | 0:47:44 | |
I'm sure it's Indian. I don't think that's very special, really. | 0:47:44 | 0:47:48 | |
How do you think about that? | 0:47:48 | 0:47:49 | |
When I looked at both of these bonus buys my prediction | 0:47:49 | 0:47:51 | |
was that the touch wood would bring the biggest profit. | 0:47:51 | 0:47:54 | |
I'm inclined to agree with you on that one. I put 20 to £30 on that. | 0:47:54 | 0:47:58 | |
David Harper paid £60 for that. It's too much, isn't it? | 0:47:58 | 0:48:01 | |
Whereas touch wood, touch wood we'll be all right. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:05 | |
'I'm keeping mum and I won't let the Blues know which of those | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
'took my fancy.' | 0:48:08 | 0:48:09 | |
OK, thank you very much, Adam. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:10 | |
-You're going to be in control in a moment, right? -I am. -I am! | 0:48:10 | 0:48:14 | |
So masterful. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:15 | |
How are you feeling? | 0:48:26 | 0:48:28 | |
-Excited. -Are you? Are you feeling excited, Lindsay? -Very. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
-You're quite easily excited though, Lindsay? -Yes, can't help it. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
-It's just within you, isn't it? -It's just me, yes. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:36 | |
-Yes. -OK, now, moving on, you bought the scent bottle, yes? | 0:48:36 | 0:48:40 | |
The auctioneer absolutely loathed it, he's put 5 to £10 on it, | 0:48:40 | 0:48:43 | |
he feels mortified that it's even in the sale. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:46 | |
Anyway, here it comes. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:47 | |
Give me a fiver for it. Five pounds. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:52 | |
-A pound. -Oh, it could be used. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:54 | |
A pound on the second row. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:55 | |
-I have not sold anything for a pound for a long, long time. -That's it. | 0:48:55 | 0:48:59 | |
Thank you for that which is -£2. Masonic interest. Here we go. | 0:49:00 | 0:49:05 | |
The Masonic pendant there. What do we say for that? | 0:49:05 | 0:49:07 | |
I'm bid £30 on my books here. At 30 bid, I'll take five. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |

£45. Sorry about that, girls. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:25 | |
-That's five off 50, that's -25, -27. -Disappointing. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:30 | |

At 30 bid, at £30, the pound to hit five and 40 and five. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:41 | |
Yours on the second row. 50, sir? 50. Five now. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:45 | |
-It's 50 here in the third. -50? Yes. You paid 50. | 0:49:45 | 0:49:48 | |
Well done, Tricia. | 0:49:48 | 0:49:50 | |
You're pleased about this, aren't you? £50 paid, £50 paid. | 0:49:50 | 0:49:54 | |
That's wiped its face. No profit, no loss, no pain, no gain. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:57 | |
Now, overall you're -£27 so what are you going to do, kids? | 0:49:57 | 0:50:02 | |
Are you going to go with the purple toilet case or are you going | 0:50:02 | 0:50:05 | |
to go with the dressing table jar? | 0:50:05 | 0:50:07 | |
-We're going with the case. -Are you? | 0:50:07 | 0:50:09 | |
-You don't have to go with anything, you know. -We're going with the case. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:13 | |
You're going to go with the case? You agree with that, Lindsay? | 0:50:13 | 0:50:15 | |
I like the case, yes. | 0:50:15 | 0:50:16 | |
I have to tell you that of the two bonus buys, | 0:50:16 | 0:50:19 | |
I selected this one was going to make the biggest profit. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
We're rooting for this and here it comes. | 0:50:23 | 0:50:25 | |
Good amount of fitments inside. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:27 | |
Silver mounted fittings for Chester and London circa 1911 and '12. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:32 | |
Should be £70, start me 70? 50 then. 50 bid and five and 60. | 0:50:32 | 0:50:37 | |
Five, 70. Five, 80. 80 only on my left. £80, where's five now? | 0:50:37 | 0:50:43 | |
At £80 only bid at 80. Any advance on 80? | 0:50:43 | 0:50:46 | |
On my left-hand side at five, 90? 90 bid. At 90. You're done now? | 0:50:46 | 0:50:50 | |
I'm selling on my left-hand side at 90. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:52 | |
Are you all done in the room and online? I'm selling at £90. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
Only bid 90. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:58 | |
-£90, bad luck. -Could have been worse. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:00 | |
Oh, you're so sweet, Tricia, so sweet. | 0:51:00 | 0:51:03 | |
-£30 on that. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:05 | |
Now, we're going to sell the jar, were we right to reject it? | 0:51:05 | 0:51:09 | |
-Here it comes. -There we are, that's a pretty piece of silver, isn't it? | 0:51:09 | 0:51:12 | |
And I'm bid £30. At 30 bid, where's five now? | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
35 and 40 and five, 50 and five. Have another, it's 50 here. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:19 | |
At £50, at 50. Any more now? £50. Five in the corner now. £55 then. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:25 | |
£55, are you all done this side? 55, any more, £55. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:31 | |
And it wiped its face. | 0:51:31 | 0:51:32 | |
I can't believe it. £55. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:35 | |
Overall your score is -£57, which is a tragedy, but today it might be | 0:51:35 | 0:51:41 | |
a winning score so don't say a word to the Blues, all right? | 0:51:41 | 0:51:44 | |
OK. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:45 | |
Now, Theresa, Julian, this is exciting, isn't it? | 0:51:50 | 0:51:53 | |
-Yeah. -Do you know how the Reds got on? -No. -No. -Good. | 0:51:53 | 0:51:56 | |
That's marvellous. Now, who selected the Daks jacket? | 0:51:56 | 0:51:59 | |
-Was that you, Theresa? -It was. -£16 you paid for that. -Yes. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:03 | |
-He's estimated £20 to £30, which I think is a miracle. -Oh, do you? | 0:52:03 | 0:52:07 | |
Yep, I do. I think it's a blessed miracle. | 0:52:07 | 0:52:09 | |
-I think if it makes a £5 note, that tweed jacket... -Tim! | 0:52:09 | 0:52:12 | |
-I've got loads. -A man of style? -I've got shed loads of old tweed jackets. | 0:52:12 | 0:52:16 | |
I'm bringing them all the way to Liverpool | 0:52:16 | 0:52:17 | |
and I'm going to get rid of the lot, OK? | 0:52:17 | 0:52:20 | |
There we are. The tweed jacket. £20 for it? £20 the tweed jacket. £20? | 0:52:20 | 0:52:25 | |
-£20. £10. -No taste. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:29 | |
There we are. The hand is raised. At £10 there reluctantly at a tenner. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
I'll take 15 anywhere. At £10 at the back of the room. 15 internet. | 0:52:33 | 0:52:38 | |
At 15. 20, sir? Are you sure? At £15 online. | 0:52:38 | 0:52:41 | |
You must have tried it on and everything. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:44 | |
At £15 it's online while you think again. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:46 | |
At £15. We are selling online then at £15. The tweed jacket at £15. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:52 | |
-Not too bad. £15 is -£1. -Not that bad. -It's not that bad. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:58 | |
-No. -It's not that bad, come on. -No. | 0:52:58 | 0:53:01 | |
My prediction was a fiver. You got £15, that's perfect. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:04 | |
-Now, the scouse pot. -Cast-iron cauldron there. | 0:53:04 | 0:53:07 | |
Yes, you could make a big pot of scouse in that, couldn't you? | 0:53:07 | 0:53:09 | |
Bid me what, £30 for it? £30. | 0:53:09 | 0:53:11 | |
£20? 20 at the back. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:16 | |
At £20 at the back of the room, the cauldron, at 20. | 0:53:16 | 0:53:19 | |
And five, 30 and five, 40. 40, still at the back. At £40 now. | 0:53:19 | 0:53:24 | |
At £40, mid estimate at £40. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:28 | |
At £40, all done at £40 then? | 0:53:28 | 0:53:32 | |
-45 means you're -46. Oh, dear, oh, dear. Now, the garnet bracelet. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:38 | |
This is it. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:40 | |
Got to make more than 20 to 30. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:41 | |
And I have 20 and five? 25 is bid. | 0:53:41 | 0:53:43 | |
At £25, any advance on this now? At 30, five, 40. | 0:53:43 | 0:53:49 | |
Five, 50. Five, 60. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:52 | |
-It's only money. Five, 70. Five and 80. -Yes! -Yes, sure, it's 75 here. | 0:53:53 | 0:54:00 | |
-I'll take 80 though, at £75. At 75. -We're redeeming ourselves here. | 0:54:00 | 0:54:06 | |
Sir, at £75 here on my books at 75. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:09 | |
That's great. So £23 profit, that's what we like to see. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
And that means that you are now -23. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:20 | |
-£23, so what are you going to do? | 0:54:20 | 0:54:23 | |
Are you going to go with the "touch wood" or with the teak stand | 0:54:23 | 0:54:27 | |
or are you going to do nothing and park your -£23? | 0:54:27 | 0:54:31 | |
I think we're going with the "touch wood". | 0:54:31 | 0:54:33 | |
When it comes to predicting, | 0:54:33 | 0:54:34 | |
I predicted that that object was going to bring more than | 0:54:34 | 0:54:37 | |
the other stands so we are all talking off the same hymn sheet here. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:40 | |
We're going with the good luck charm. And here it comes. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:43 | |
Would there be £20 worth, please? £20, the "touch wood" jar. | 0:54:43 | 0:54:45 | |
£10, start me. £10, somebody, in the room here. At £10, seated bid then. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:52 | |
At £10 only bid. 10. Any advance on £10? 15, thank you. Standing 15. | 0:54:52 | 0:54:58 | |
20 now. At £15, I can't recall ever seeing one of these before. | 0:54:58 | 0:55:01 | |
-£15, standing bidder. -Yeah, it's really rare. | 0:55:01 | 0:55:04 | |
-At 15 then, I'm selling at £15. -Sorry, guys, I'm sorry. | 0:55:04 | 0:55:10 | |
-HAMMER FALLS -£15... | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |
is -£10. No more sorry than I am, David. | 0:55:12 | 0:55:16 | |
I saw that being worth more. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:17 | |
The carved hardwood circular stand, Indian there and £20 for it. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:21 | |
£20 the stand. £10 for it. £10, the carved stand. | 0:55:21 | 0:55:28 | |
£10 is online. | 0:55:28 | 0:55:29 | |
At £10, at 10. Any advance now at 10? | 0:55:29 | 0:55:32 | |
You can all have a good look at it and bid me 15. At 10 online. | 0:55:32 | 0:55:36 | |
-£10 only bid at 10. Selling it at 10. -No, don't sell it. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:40 | |
-I'm glad we didn't choose that one. -At 10 it is then. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:42 | |
Don't sell it, don't sell it! He's not going to sell it. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:46 | |
-HAMMER FALLS -He is! | 0:55:46 | 0:55:49 | |
-Which is -£50. -I can't believe it. | 0:55:49 | 0:55:52 | |
Well, I'm afraid I can because it's just happened. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:57 | |
That's not good, is it? But never mind. | 0:55:57 | 0:55:59 | |
Overall, look, you went with the "touch wood". | 0:55:59 | 0:56:02 | |
You were -23, you are now -33. That is your overall tally. | 0:56:02 | 0:56:07 | |
Which could be a winning score so don't say a word to the Reds. | 0:56:07 | 0:56:10 | |
Well, teams, this is fun, isn't it? How to lose loads of money big-time. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:21 | |
Because, I tell you, that's what you lot have done. | 0:56:21 | 0:56:24 | |
It must be marvellous. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:25 | |
We give you all this dosh and you do so appallingly bad with it | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
and somebody wins! That's what's so completely crackers. | 0:56:28 | 0:56:33 | |
Actually, there is not very much between the teams today | 0:56:33 | 0:56:36 | |
but they have all done incredibly badly. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:38 | |
In fact, we've lost on absolutely every object with the exception | 0:56:38 | 0:56:42 | |
of a garnet bracelet for the Blues which was kind of handy. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:47 | |
And that is an indication of the final result | 0:56:47 | 0:56:50 | |
because the runners-up today by quite a trawl are the Reds. | 0:56:50 | 0:56:54 | |
And if I were you lot, | 0:56:54 | 0:56:56 | |
I would stick to tarot card reading rather than going out there | 0:56:56 | 0:57:00 | |
and doing the real thing because it is not a pretty picture this, is it? | 0:57:00 | 0:57:03 | |
And I predicted that the toilet case was going to bring a great | 0:57:03 | 0:57:06 | |
big profit and it made a loss | 0:57:06 | 0:57:07 | |
so it just shows I don't know what I'm talking about either. | 0:57:07 | 0:57:09 | |
-Anyway, so, no pain no shame. Had a lovely time, you two? -Yes, I have. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:13 | |
It's been great, actually. Lovely having you on the show, | 0:57:13 | 0:57:15 | |
I'm just sorry not to be giving you piles of dough. | 0:57:15 | 0:57:18 | |
So am I. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:19 | |
-HE MOCK CRIES -I know. | 0:57:19 | 0:57:22 | |
Anyway, we've got to be grown-up about this. It's been great. | 0:57:22 | 0:57:25 | |
But the victors today, who won by only losing £33, are the Blues. | 0:57:25 | 0:57:30 | |
So congratulations on that. And, as I say, | 0:57:30 | 0:57:32 | |
you did make that nice profit on the garnet bracelet which was cool. | 0:57:32 | 0:57:37 | |
But you went with the team's bonus buy which was the "touch wood" | 0:57:37 | 0:57:41 | |
charm which didn't bring you much in the way of luck. | 0:57:41 | 0:57:44 | |
That was my prediction, that the | 0:57:44 | 0:57:46 | |
"touch wood" charm would bring the biggest profit or the smallest loss | 0:57:46 | 0:57:50 | |
which is what it did so I didn't feel too badly about it either. | 0:57:50 | 0:57:52 | |
-Have you had a nice time? Been good for you, Theresa? -Yeah, brilliant. | 0:57:52 | 0:57:56 | |
It was brilliant for us too. | 0:57:56 | 0:57:58 | |
So join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes? | 0:57:58 | 0:58:00 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:58:00 | 0:58:01 |
