0:00:05 > 0:00:10The Ardingly International DMG Antiques and Collectors Fair
0:00:10 > 0:00:15is billed as being the biggest in the south of England,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18brimful and bursting with booty,
0:00:18 > 0:00:24in fact, an ideal hunting ground for our teams to bag some bargains!
0:00:46 > 0:00:52As always, they only have one hour and £300 to forage for finds.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54With the help of one of our very own experts,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57the aim of the game is to track down three outstanding bargains
0:00:57 > 0:01:00that'll make them the most money at auction.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Let's meet the teams who've taken up the challenge today!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Well, professional reputations are on the line here today.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11We have two teams of dealers.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13The Reds, Diane and Jackie. Welcome.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And for the Blues, John and Eddie.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Now, ladies first.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Diane, how did you first become interested in antiques?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26I started around the age of 18, when I couldn't afford to buy anything new,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29so I went to various shops and bought antiques.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- And what sort of things do you deal with?- Small pieces of furniture,
0:01:33 > 0:01:38but I started off buying writing slopes and tea caddies and things like that.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Now you've progressed?- Yes.- A bit. - A little bit, yes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- Jackie, how long have you been in the business?- Ten years.- You're experienced, then.- Absolutely!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It says here that you started going to auctions aged 11.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55My father took me as he used to buy from one auction and put it in another, as they did in those days.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- Gosh, it's in your blood. - Well, you could say that. - Have antiques taken over your life?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Well, you go on holiday and you say, "Ooh, can we just go in there?"
0:02:04 > 0:02:09And something catches your eye and you can't help it. Once it starts, you just can't stop it!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Quite. That's what I've rather enjoyed all my life.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I think you're going to make a great team, and we'll be riveted to see how you get on.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Now for the boys. John and Eddie, welcome.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24My sister owns an antiques shop in Dorking, where we all trade from.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Oh, right, you're all from the same area. Oh, even more competition, which is lovely!
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Eddie, you're relatively new to the game, being a youngster yourself.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- 60, Tim.- What?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- 60. I've got my bus pass! - You've got your bus pass?!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38You are joking, aren't you?!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40You're an incredibly youthful 60-year-old.
0:02:40 > 0:02:46- But you're fond of the old antiques. - Very fond.- And have you found any good bargains recently?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49A little while ago, I was cleaning out the garage
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and I found a suitcase of football programmes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I took them to a sports memorabilia auction.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- The estimate was £500, and they fetched £3,400.- Did they really?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Very good luck. Now it's the money moment. Look at these girls, panting for it.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08There we go, £300 in cash. You know the rules.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Your experts await, and off you go! Very, very, very good luck.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16This could go right to the wire, you know? Two teams of professionals!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Whatever's going to happen?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, they won't be left to fend for themselves.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24We've got our very own experts.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Keeping his eye for the Reds is David Barby.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And hoping to lift the winning trophy for the Blues
0:03:31 > 0:03:33is Philip Serrell.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Look at that through there. Look at that chair.- That looks nice. - Have a look at that.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41- Where's David?- David?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Come here! What do you think of this?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- You've found something, at last! - Yeah! What do you think?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53I'm just going to say, in your dealers' experience, how old is it?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- 1920s?- Yeah. That's my opinion as well. What do you like about it?
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- Everything.- The decoration on it is beautiful, the back is absolutely splendid,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and don't forget, black's in vogue at the moment.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07How much is it?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09She's asking 150, so we've obviously got to get it down.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12If it was in your shop, would it sell?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Absolutely. No problem.
0:04:13 > 0:04:20The area I come from, these chairs come up for sale - they never make that sort of price range,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- so I have my reservations. - OK.- I have my reservations
0:04:22 > 0:04:29- But you both like it?- Yeah. - You both want to buy it?- Yes. You've got to negotiate.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31We're going to give it a good go.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- The dealer's over there, have a word.- We'll see you later.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Best of luck.- Thank you!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Well, they didn't take the asking price for the chair sitting down.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43They trimmed off 50 quid, paying a comfortable 100.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Philip, what do you think of this?
0:04:44 > 0:04:50I think he and I have got a lot in common, in that we both look 100 years old,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- but we haven't got much age. - He's quite heavy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57You guys, the joy of actually doing bargain hunting...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59All the pressure's off me.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I've just got to stand here and walk round with you
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- and let you buy profits, because that's what you do, day in, day out!- We do.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- I like it.- I'm going to ask you some questions now.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- How much is this?- £30.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- Right. What's the dealer told you you can buy it for?- 15.- So it's 15 quid. That's for nothing.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Can't buy anything, can you, for... - That smells like a profit to me.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- There is no age to it, is there? - None whatsoever.- It looks old. It's been aged. How do we do that, then?
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- Yoghurt.- Left out for a long time in the garden.- Cow muck's another one.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39You pour cow muck all over something and bury it for a period of time, and it antiques it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Is there a profit in it? - I think there is.- Good luck.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Oh, that Philip, he is so cheeky!
0:05:46 > 0:05:51The Blues used their heads and paid £15 for the terracotta bust.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Which one of you two cherubs chose this?- Diane.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I saw it first, and I love oak,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- and this is a really nice country piece.- Right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:07Nice oak, original handles, very useful because you can pop your books and things in here,
0:06:07 > 0:06:13a lamp, a telephone, some hidden bits and bobs in here, and I think it's wonderful.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- I think it's been cut down. But there again it's been cut down to the side of a sofa.- Yes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- So I think that's a nice idea, your idea of a lamp and books inside it, brilliant.- Yeah.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- But I heard you open it, and it goes "click".- Yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- It's got that ball section there. - Yeah.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- What sort of price are they asking? - It's 130.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- You've got to negotiate quite heavily on this.- Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Well, if we don't get it down, we just won't buy it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- That's a very good comment! Best of luck.- Thank you!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42She's a feisty one, that Jackie.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47They did agree a price of £100, leaving only one more item for the Reds to find.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Hey, guys - look what I've found. - Oh, yeah. That's nice, Eddie.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- You know what that is, don't you? - Mauchline Ware.- Of course. - You know Mauchline Ware?
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- Mauchline. M-A-U-C-H-L-I-N-E. - That's the one.- Yeah, Mauchline Ware. - Made in Scotland.- Yep.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Transfer printed. - Turn of the century.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- £15.- You've sniffed one out there, haven't you?- Well, I think it's...
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Again, not a lot of money, but they're collectible.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Who's gonna buy that off you? - Collectors of Mauchline Ware!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18There's an answer for everything and you hit it on the nail!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21This is, really, our Edwardian stick of rock, isn't it?
0:07:21 > 0:07:27You went away on holiday and you bought a little trinket, or something to take home,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30and it's this little bit of wood with a view of where you spent your holiday.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- And there's a big collecting area for this, isn't there? - There is, yes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Because there's lots of Mauchline collectors.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I mean, it falls under that generic term of "treen".
0:07:39 > 0:07:44And treen is, "of the tree", it's actually a piece of turned wood,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and it would have been turned on a lathe.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- And it's 15 quid?- Mm-hm.- Bargain.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Bargain. On that note, you go and pay the man, we'll go and find our next bids, all right?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01You think this Bargain Hunt lark looks easy, right?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Just like driving down a motorway.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06BRAKES SCREECH, CRASHING
0:08:06 > 0:08:10But it isn't! But if you wanna be on the programme anyway, then drop us a line:
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Good luck. Now, where's the insurance papers?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- John, do you get many of these in your shop?- No, these are very rare.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25I've never seen one before.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- But you know what it is? - It's a pill-maker, isn't it?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32You would go to your local chemist with a prescription from your doctor
0:08:32 > 0:08:38for a lotion or a potion or some pills, and he'd nip out the back and make your pill up for you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44It rolls this sort of paste out into a long cylinder or tube that could then be chopped up into tablet form.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49And what's interesting about this one, if you just push that down and that down,
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- this actually slides out and you can see there it's reversible. - How old is it, Phil?
0:08:54 > 0:09:00- I would think it's probably mid-19th century.- It's very well made. It's a nice piece of mahogany.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It's a nice talking point.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Not having seen one before, I would have thought that would have sold quite well.- Yeah?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- How much is it, Phil? - It's priced up at £120.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13What would this be in your centre? How much?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15140, 145.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Yeah.- So what would you expect to pay for this in an auction?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Nothing under 100.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So if I can go and get it off the dealer
0:09:24 > 0:09:28for anything less than 90 quid, that might be considered a result?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Yes. You go and do the deal, and I'll go and get the coffees in.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38Well done, Philip. He popped the pill-maker in for 80 large ones.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41What on earth did you buy this for? Look at it!
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Oh, David - please don't! - David, the reason we've bought this is, look, it's painted.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Painting's in vogue, we're cold and it's pouring with rain,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52we've not much money left and we'll get this really cheap...
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- And time is running out.- It's terrible. How much did you pay?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Well...- 20?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58No! No, up.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Up, up, up. More, more!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- 90.- £90?!- Yeah.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08- That's just...impossible.- We only paid 50.- I would have thought £20.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Oh, David!- I think it's terrible. Who's gonna buy this at auction? - Painted furniture is now in.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16It's in all the magazines - the posh magazines - and I know it sells.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- I think it's hideous. It goes on your head.- OK!
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Oh! Bye! I think he's right, actually.- Yeah, I do. Bless him!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Yes? Time's up? OK, fine.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Time's up, the shopping's over.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42The Reds reclined into parting with £100 for the Regency armchair.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46They branched out another ton for the oak tray-top night table.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51And, finally, have they painted themselves into a corner
0:10:51 > 0:10:54with the white cheval mirror that David hated?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Now, let's recap on what the Blues bought.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The Blues took the challenge head on
0:10:59 > 0:11:03and paid £15 for the yoghurt-flavoured terracotta bust.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07The Mauchline Ware pot wasn't any more expensive,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09but will it churn in any more profit?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Finally, could the tablet roller rotate a healthy profit at auction,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16or could it be a bitter pill to swallow?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It is great to be at Bellmans saleroom in West Sussex
0:11:28 > 0:11:31with our auctioneer, Jonathan Pratt. Hi, Jonathan.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Good morning, Tim.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Now, first up for Diane and Jackie is the beech framed armchair of Regency design.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- Quite a clean and honest-looking jobby, that, isn't it? - Yes. I think that...
0:11:43 > 0:11:46does sort of that belie the fact that it is a reproduction.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It is a very nice piece of furniture.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54- What's your estimate?- We've put it at £70-£100.- Well, that's not too bad. £100 is paid all right.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00- I think we'll do quite well on that one.- Yes. Now, the next lot is this rather nice, I think,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- period oak little night table. - Mm-hm.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Do you like that? - I do. I think every bedroom should have one, really.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09The big question is, what is your estimate?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I put it in at 100 to £150.- I don't believe it. They only paid 100!
0:12:13 > 0:12:14- They've done very well.- Now,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17let's see how you go with the old cheval mirror.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Because that is pretty well Brand Harry Spankers, isn't it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24It is. I think pretty much painted a few weeks ago.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Yes. Just dry.- Just dry. - Come out for auction.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Yes. But useful. - You know, these cheval mirrors,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36they have a purpose in the bedroom, you can just about see your slacks
0:12:36 > 0:12:37as you're getting up in the morning.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- They paid £50. How about that? - They paid £50?- £50.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- OK, well, um... - Didn't think you'd like that! - No! No.- What's your estimate?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47We've put it in, I think, at £20-£30.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- 20-£30?- Yes.- And is that the kind of estimate
0:12:49 > 0:12:53that maybe if you get a £5 note, you'd be quite pleased to take it?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56We don't take £5 bids, but I'll take a tenner for it.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Yeah, that is looking a bit dodgy, then.- It is.- Quite seriously.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06It will appeal to private people, though, that just want a mirror, where would you buy something for...
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Absolutely.- £20.- Even out of the pack, it would cost you more.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12They might get their money back.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Overall, then, I'm feeling quite confident about these Reds.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19But you never can too cocky. So let's go and have a look at their bonus buy.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Now, Diane and Jackie, you gave David £50 of leftover lolly.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- What do you suppose he spent it on? - No idea.- No idea?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Ice cream. - THEY LAUGH
0:13:31 > 0:13:32On a day like that.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36He's such a baby, isn't he? Anyway, David, reveal all. What did you get?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Oh, wow. Interesting.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44I thought this was quite an interesting piece of majolica.
0:13:44 > 0:13:4719th century. Probably produced on the continents, not English.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50But he has such a charismatic smile. What do you think?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- I love it.- Really?- I really like it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Give it a kiss. - I don't know about a kiss.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I particularly like his teeth.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Do you?- It's beautiful. What do you think, Diane?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Erm.... It's OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:08But I will go with the expert and my friend Jackie, because they obviously have better taste than me.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12There is one big point that David has yet to reveal, isn't there?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Oh, right.- Which is? - How much did it cost?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17There you go. You got it, Jackie. In one.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- Yeah.- £45.- Ooh.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Is that a lot?- Too much?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Yeah, loads.- Loads? David, do you see much of a profit in it?
0:14:26 > 0:14:32If people have imagination and can see it in their own house, it will make money.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Right. OK.- I'd like to see it do round about 80.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Right. - That would be nice, wouldn't it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- You don't have to decide until the sale of your first three items.- OK.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45There. What do you think about that joker?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Well, what do we have here? Um...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49he's in good condition apart from the fact
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- we've not got the cover for it.- No. - You can see this ledge.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57If you see a ledge like that, something should be sitting on it.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59What's your estimate on this?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Well we've gone with a conservative £20-£30.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- £20-30?- Yes.- Yeah. Well this is Barby's bonus buy and he paid £45.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09So we could have a bit of a problemo there.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13But you never know, the teams may not select it.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16In which case it won't make any difference to the score.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Now for the Blues. John and Eddie and Philip Serrell.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26They went with this little Scottish wee potty. Is that something that lights your fire?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28It lights my fire a little.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- I once lived in Scotland...- Yes.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- ..so I'm familiar with these things. - Ah, yes.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36A little transfer-decorated luggie, because you have these little lugs.
0:15:36 > 0:15:42- A nice thing...everything about it says it's early 20th century, late 19th century.- Mm-hm.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- What more can I say?- How much?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Um, £15-£20. - Well, that is fantastic. £15 paid.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- We can pop that one down.- OK.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53And I won't ask you to pick up this fellow.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54What do you think it's worth?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Erm, well, I think something like £50-£80.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- How much?- £50-£80.- Never!
0:15:59 > 0:16:04£15 is all they paid for old Mussolini here. Marvellous! Well done.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Now, the last item, however, isn't going to be so much fun.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It's a pill-roller.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Mm. They still sell for about £40-£60.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Do they?- They do, yeah.- That would be marvellous. They paid £80.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Realistically, 40 to 60. - You're a very brave man.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Overall, they'll probably need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29OK, you spent £110. Miserable.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31You gave Philip £190.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34What did he spend it on?
0:16:34 > 0:16:35I didn't spend all of it, Tim.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Didn't you?- No.- Surprise, surprise. Ahh.- Isn't that lovely?
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- I rather like these matchbox covers. - Edwardian.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I'd guess so. A great hallmark.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Goldsmiths' & Silversmiths' Company.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I just think if you went to a modern jewellers
0:16:53 > 0:16:58or modern shop to buy something like that, my guess is that would cost between £200 and £300.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I bought that for £24.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02What do you estimate it'll fetch?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Between 30 and £50. I'm sure it will.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10You don't have to decide, but we think there's potential there.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13You'll decide after the sale of the first three items,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15but now see what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Cor, strike a light. What you think?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Yes, nice quality matchbox cover,
0:17:22 > 0:17:28engine-turned bands, little circular cartouche in the middle, which has initials.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Hang on, you're JP, aren't you?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- I'm JP.- That's a pity because this is JD. You could easily make it into a P, though.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Or I could change my name by deed poll!
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- Maybe not.- A nice weight.- It's good quality. It's not polished out.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's rather crisp.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I'd have thought an easy sale at £20 to £30.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52An easy sale. He paid £24 for it, the cunning old fox.
0:17:52 > 0:17:59- It might make 30.- It might. - It might ignite some interest.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Talking about igniting interest, you're taking the sale, are you?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- I'll be taking the sale.- Brilliant. We're in safe hands.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15First lot, here it comes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:201451. A beech-framed open armchair of Regency design.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Profit!- £110. Are you all done at £110?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Yes, that's fantastic. £110.- Wow!
0:18:41 > 0:18:47Lot 1452. A George III oak tray-top night commode, circa 1760.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Again, on the book I can start straight in at £100, I'm bid.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Oh, my God!- £100 bid. Any further interest at 100?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59110. 120. 130. 140.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Wow.- We're making loads.- 140...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04£140 against you. At £140 commission.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08At £140 I'll sell. One more?
0:19:08 > 0:19:13- 150, then.- I don't believe it! - At 160, I'll sell.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16£160.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Fantastic!- You're £60 up, girls.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Now, the mirror.- There she is in her glorious technicolor.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Lots of interest in this. I'll start straight in at £20.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Come on.- 22. 25.
0:19:31 > 0:19:3528. And 30. 35. And 40.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40£40 I'm bid. 45 with the lady by the pillar at 45. Do I see 50?
0:19:40 > 0:19:45- Go on!- Standing dead centre. £45.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- I don't believe it!- It's only £5.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50That's brilliant. You're minus £5 on that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54You are plus £65. Marvellous.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- What we do about the bonus buy?- No.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- You're not going with the Nubian gent?- No.- You seem determined.
0:20:00 > 0:20:06- Aren't you going to trust him? - Sorry.- He rates it. He thinks it's going to bring a profit.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I think it would look nice in the bathroom with a loo brush in it.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12As long as it's put to use!
0:20:12 > 0:20:17You're plus £65 and you're not going with the bonus buy. We're going to sell it anyway.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Lot 1457.
0:20:19 > 0:20:25The 20th-century continental pottery tobacco jar. I can start at £20.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Stop, stop!- £40. Do I see 5?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39£40, then. Last chance.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Hammer is coming down at £40.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- No, it's £40.- Didn't we do well?

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Last chance, it's going at £18.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20You get three...three squids.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22£60 it is. At £60.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Overall, you're £68 up.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33£68 in profit. That's a considerable achievement.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I congratulate you. Well done!
0:22:35 > 0:22:39What will you do about the bonus buy? The match case?
0:22:39 > 0:22:45- 24 quid's worth of investment. Ought to do well.- Confident in our expert. - Start the car!
0:22:45 > 0:22:52We'll go with the bonus buy. Estimate £20 to £30. Here it comes.

0:23:29 > 0:23:34Anyway, don't tell the Reds. We'll give them a nasty turn in a minute.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Well, isn't it lovely to be surrounded by all these old pros... I mean pros, actually.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I have to tell you that the runners-up today are the Reds.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Ohh!- They've taken it brilliantly(!)
