0:00:03 > 0:00:05Mm! Delicious!
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Anyway, back to the day job. We're in Camden Passage
0:00:09 > 0:00:14with over 200 stalls for our teams to unearth the old bargains from.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43So, what's on the recipe today?
0:00:43 > 0:00:48On the Bargain Hunt menu we have £300, one expert, one hour shopping
0:00:48 > 0:00:52to find three bargains and if they make a profit at auction, they get to pocket it.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Otherwise it's egg on face all round and a few chips.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Or should I say inexpensive fried potatoes?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Well, that's enough cookery for me.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Let's meet some people who really do know about food.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Both of our teams have a cookery connection.
0:01:15 > 0:01:22Both of our teams are made up out of good friends and where better place to meet a good friend than in a pub?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Which is where we happen to be today.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27First up, it's the Reds, Alan and Sheila.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Now, Sheila, how do you know Alan?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I know Alan because we work at the same place, Eton College.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I've been there for 12 years and I've known Alan for eight years.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- And what do you do there? - I am a chef.- And how many little kiddiewinks do you feed?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- 600 plus.- 600 plus! Three meals a day, that's 1,800 meals.- Yes.
0:01:45 > 0:01:51- Would you call yourself an experienced collector? - No, but I do visit car-boot sales.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57- You've got nicknames for each other as a result of that?- Yes, I call Alan "Troika".- Troika?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Because he likes a bit of Troika.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- What do you call Sheila?- "Clarice".
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Because she likes a bit of Cliff? - Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Now, Alan, or should it be "Troika"?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09What exactly do you do in the great college?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I'm just a general porter in the same building as "Clarice"
0:02:12 > 0:02:15and I just run around, cleaning up after them all day.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Do you? Running round after these girls making a big mess.- Yes.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Good luck. I think you're going to do well. Over to the Blues.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Jen and Steve. Now, Steve, you're a pukka cook too, aren't you?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'm a trained chef but I don't do that any more.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I have chefed for Crisis, the homeless charity,
0:02:31 > 0:02:36but I'm actually back at Roehampton University now, studying Early Childhood Studies.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- And how did you two meet then? - I actually met Jen at Crisis and Jen saw me there and she said,
0:02:42 > 0:02:47"Well I'm a chef, I've been doing it for a number of years now, come with me and I'll look after you."
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I call her my surrogate auntie, so, I've known her since.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Apart from that, any experience buying and selling?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Online, I do it a bit now and again.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Will you be any good at buying and selling? - I'll give it a go.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02That's the attitude we like.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- What do you collect?- I collect elephants.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Elephants?- Yes, not real ones, just small elephants.- How many have you got?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- About 50 or 60. - That's a whole herd!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Now we're going to come to the money moment.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19£300. 300 smackers, there you go. You know the rules.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Your experts await. You'd better get out there and off you go!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Goodness knows what we'll find out next!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30She's no featherweight when it comes to antiques.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34The Reds' expert is Anita Manning and stalking the streets for
0:03:34 > 0:03:37bargains, the Blues' helper, Kate Bliss.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Ahh!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Ah, Anita, there you are!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50We've been looking for you everywhere. We found this.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- How appropriate!- What do you think?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Yes.- There's only one thing wrong. It's empty!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57We thought you'd help us with that.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Tell me what you liked about it.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think they've come back in date now
0:04:03 > 0:04:06with the size of the shot glasses. It was an attractive piece.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Do you know what period it is?- No.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- 1950s. - Yes, you're absolutely right.
0:04:12 > 0:04:19Now, this is quite interesting because the '50s is becoming very, very popular.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22If we look at the gilding here, it's in good condition.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27So I doubt if this little decanter set has been used very much.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31We have different names and recipes of cocktails.
0:04:31 > 0:04:39We have a Paradise, we have a Hula Hula and we have a Corpse Reviver,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41which is what I'm having just now.
0:04:42 > 0:04:49You two obviously think it's bags of fun but it will depend on the price.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- The price.- He wants £110 for it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54£110?!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57No, no. That's crazy.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02It's got bags of style, I like it, but to have any chance of a profit,
0:05:02 > 0:05:07we've really got to get that right down.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Before we go though, I think I'll finish my wee dram.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Would you two like one?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Top notch haggling!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20They got the cocktail set for £60, and, by the way, mine's a gin and tonic.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Can you see anything? - Hopefully a lot of profit, Kate.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26No, seriously, does it work?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I think so, yeah. I just need to adjust the focus on it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- What do you reckon?- Let's have a closer look. It's been used a lot.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34The leather's really quite worn.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37But it gives it that nice period look.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Turn of the century, perhaps a little later.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- But there's a name. I think it says F Davidson & Company, London. - Well spotted!
0:05:43 > 0:05:49That's nice, having a London name and the patent number just gives it a little bit extra.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- OK.- That's quite nice having that.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52What do you think, Jen?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- It's a bit of a boys' toy. - I do. It's different.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Now, it's 65, that's quite a lot for auction.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I can see this really at sort of £30, £40.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04So, if you like it, why don't you go and see what you can do?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Yeah, I do like it but I agree it is a little bit pricey. What do you think, Jen?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- I think if you can get them down a bit.- You reckon?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Try.- It could be quite quirky, shall I try?- Yeah.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Go on, give it your best. - OK, here I go.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- So, is he any good at bargaining? - Oh, yes! He likes that sort of thing. He's not shy about things.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Aye-aye!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26The brass telescope came in at £45.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I found this. I think it's great.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Oh, isn't that lovely? - It's full of postcards as well.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I think this is a lovely thing and I love these. People love to browse
0:06:36 > 0:06:41through and look at photographs from bygone ages and it's a wee bit of social history.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45They like to look at what people are wearing, their hairdos.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It's quite interesting to see, that's the sort of hairdo that folk
0:06:48 > 0:06:53had in late 1800s, early 20th century, and a young soldier.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56And what year would these be?
0:06:56 > 0:07:02Well, the book dates from I would say the 1880s to the early 1900s.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05So, late Victorian, early Edwardian,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and you can tell this by the dress that they're wearing.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- Yeah.- If we close it, let's have a look at the exterior.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Now, these are normally in leather. This one is in a purple velvet. I like that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- I really like it. - What do you think?- It's lovely. It's a lovely book.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24But the condition, would it make any difference?
0:07:24 > 0:07:30There is some damage here on the spine but that back spine is quite easily repaired.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- It fits well, it fits back together well.- Uh-huh.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- How much are they looking for it? - £90.- £90.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I think we're going to have to get that down substantially.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Come on, chaps! We've work to do. Let's go!- Let's go!
0:07:45 > 0:07:50The Reds snapped up the photo collection for 70 quid.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Here, do you like this? It's brass, a letter clip.- Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- What do you think to this? I really like this.- What's that, Jen?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It's an inkwell but it's a double one, which I think is quite unusual.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I don't know if it's silver but Kate will know.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09Let's just have a little look and I'm looking for a hallmark for English silver.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Around here and around the rim and I think this is silver plate.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- I'm sure it's silver plate. - Right.- Right.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Which makes a big difference to the value.- Of course.- Yeah.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22The nice thing is the quality of the embossing which is what we've got here on the lids.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It's a neat piece for a desk.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28And we've got initials on this one and the date, 1899, on this one.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33So we know its right at the end of Victoria's reign and it's quite nice
0:08:33 > 0:08:35because it just gives it a bit of character.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40It may well have been a present from husband to wife or a marriage gift.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Isn't there a chip on there?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- I did notice that. - Well spotted.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48That does really let it down and the fact it's silver plate rather than silver.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52You've got to really take that into account into the price.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57I could ask him if we could get something off the price. It's £75, which I think is high.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I do agree. £75 is a bit steep.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- What should we go for? - What do you think?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Well, at auction, I can really see it at £30 to £50.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11- It's your item, I think you should go for it. - OK, here we go.- Let's go.- Come on!
0:09:11 > 0:09:16And go for it she did, haggling the inkwell down to £45.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Look at this, bits of money.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21What does that remind you of?
0:09:21 > 0:09:26You're right! Leftover lolly, those bits of money which the teams don't spent when shopping will
0:09:26 > 0:09:31be given to their expert to find a bonus buy, which they'll sell later
0:09:31 > 0:09:35at auction and hopefully boost their team's profits. How about that?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Anita, what do you think of this? I love the colour.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- Sheila, I think you and I have the same taste, I think this is wonderful.- Lovely, isn't it?
0:09:48 > 0:09:54Yes. It's Poole pottery, one of my favourites, and they made some wonderful pots in the 1930s.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59In the 1960s they changed their style again, and made these
0:09:59 > 0:10:04wonderful colour, modernistic pots, chargers, plates and so on.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10In the 1980s they came back again, and did this type of ware.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Now, this particular pattern is called Volcano,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and we only need to look at it to know why.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22And I think that this type of thing has potential.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Tony, what do you think?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26If it's that age, it's an antique for the future,
0:10:26 > 0:10:31so if somebody wants to start collecting, start here. It's lovely. You couldn't miss it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- You couldn't miss it, yeah. How much?- £65.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Do you think we can get it down a wee bit?- I already have.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Oh, you are a clever girl! How much did you get for it?- £50.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I think we've got a chance. Let's go!
0:10:45 > 0:10:52So, will the Poole pottery Volcano dish erupt at auction? £50 paid.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55There's a lot of silver plate along here, but this
0:10:55 > 0:10:57is in a completely different league.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Look at the decoration on that. - It's really beautiful.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Yes, it's pretty. - What year is that going to be then?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05This is typically Victorian.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11And really, it shouts quality to me, it's a really nice piece of silver.
0:11:11 > 0:11:17You've got pierced decoration here, which is engraved and beautifully traced.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19You've got this trellis flower and leafage work,
0:11:19 > 0:11:24and then some engine turning on the borders here, all really beautifully done.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Beaded border at the bottom, and then the handle would have been made separately in a silversmith's
0:11:29 > 0:11:33workshop, but you've also got a hallmark on that to match.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39Can you see? There's a little mark on the inside there, and then the mark on the outside, just here.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44It's in amazing condition, really, considering its age, and is this dated for 1864.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Well, it's a fantastic item, but how much is it?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Well, there isn't a price on it, but I think...
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Let me go and see if I can find the dealer, see how much they want,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57see if I can negotiate a good price, but at auction I can see this making anything from
0:11:57 > 0:12:02£100 to £150, maybe more if two people really like it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I think we should go for it, if it's not too expensive.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Kate's very keen on the sweet basket, they ended up paying £150 for it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Time's up, shopping's over.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Let's remind ourselves as to what they bought.
0:12:15 > 0:12:22Our reds, Alan and Sheila, are hoping to shake up the auction with this cocktail set for £60.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26The old photo album and family snaps set them back £70, and that
0:12:26 > 0:12:31explosive-looking Poole pottery Volcano dish, a bargain at £50?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I "lava" hope so!
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Jen and Steve started with the brass telescope, bought for £45.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41They hope the double inkwell will be something
0:12:41 > 0:12:43to write home about. It cost £45,
0:12:43 > 0:12:48and the most expensive item of the day was this silver sweet basket.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51£150 paid.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05It's extremely nice to be at Lawrence's sale room in Bletchingly
0:13:05 > 0:13:09in Surrey with Robin Lawrence, our auctioneer. Good morning, Robin.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Good morning, Tim.- Now, first up for Alan and Sheila
0:13:11 > 0:13:14is this truly hideous decanter set.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18I agree with you, it's not doing anything for me.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Not even sure that the glasses and the decanter
0:13:21 > 0:13:24started life with the tray that they're on.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Just a cobbled-together thing?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I'm afraid it is rather, and we think £20 to £40 might be possible.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32£60 paid, you see.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36The next item happens to be something that I really hate,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39what I really hate is the texture.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43It feels grubby and dirty. When you open it up... Boom!
0:13:43 > 0:13:44The whole back falls off it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48It's full of very boring photographs of somebody else's relations.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Nothing interesting in the way of photographs, it's a filthy cover
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- and it's falling apart.- I think you've summed it up entirely.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01- Would you pay £70 for that in the hope of making a profit at auction?- I wouldn't, no.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02I'm thinking £20 to £40.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06And if that happens? I tell you - nobody's going to blame you.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09It's unbelievable that £70 could have been paid.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- It does seem a bit strong. - On the other hand, to complete
0:14:12 > 0:14:17the trio, at least we've got a bit of Poole pottery here which seems to be in reasonable nick.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21It's in very good condition, and a nice funky modern-looking design.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- There's a bit of hope for that one.- And it's a known product too.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Yes, it's Poole's Volcano pattern, you can see there the fiery colours in the palette.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32We think £50 to £80 should be possible.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Fantastic, well, they paid £50 for it, so there is at least a little light at the end of the tunnel,
0:14:37 > 0:14:44that they might make a small profit on this, but the other two items are pretty certain to be dead losses,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48so they'll need their bonus buy, and we ought to go and have a look at it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Now, Sheil, Als, you gave Anita £120, what did she spend it on?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- OK, Anita, reveal all, darling. - Aaah!
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Not what I expected!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00What is it?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's nice to have a surprise.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Yes. - Well, it's a lovely little Victorian
0:15:06 > 0:15:12box set of silver-plated salts and spoons, period about 1880,
0:15:12 > 0:15:171890, it's nice that it's still in the original fitted box.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20We have these bucket-shaped salts, which I think are very nice,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24they're in good condition, they may have been regilded.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28And you've got these sweet little shell-shaped spoons.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- It's an attractive little outing. - It is.- They'd make a nice gift,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and they wouldn't be out of fashion, to make a gift now.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- I don't think so, no, I mean, we all need to eat salt.- How much did it cost?- I was thinking that!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Straight to the point, Sheil, eh?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- How much?- Sorry.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46I paid £35 for them.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52- You paid £35? Well, that's a pretty good buy, isn't it? - Would it make a profit, though?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- I would hope so. - What, £10 or £15, do you think? - I would estimate them perhaps
0:15:56 > 0:16:02- at £40 to £60.- But anyway, it all depends on quite where you are after the sale of your first three items,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04right? That's the moment you'll decide,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08but for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12So there we go, nice little cased up set, look.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Little set of silver salts. If they were solid silver, we could probably expect
0:16:16 > 0:16:21£100 to £150 for those, but unfortunately, this set are silver plated,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25and the fourth spoon in the set is in pieces inside one of the salts there,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28so on that basis we're thinking only £20 to £40.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- She only paid £35, so there is a little bit of hope?- There may be.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37I think they're rather sweet, but it may well be all the money.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43The leather and brass telescope. That has a military feel to it, doesn't it?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I think very much so, yes. The leather covering to the barrels
0:16:47 > 0:16:51would indicate perhaps First World War period, a gunnery site of some kind.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- It's in a reasonable state though, isn't it? - Yes, and there's usually interest
0:16:56 > 0:17:01- in scientific and military items, so we think £20 to £40.- £45 paid.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Next is the double inkwell, quite nice to have two pots in one.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11It is. Unfortunately there are a few problems. Firstly, we would expect it to be silver,
0:17:11 > 0:17:16but the lids on this are silver plate, and on close examination it appears
0:17:16 > 0:17:20that they don't quite match, so I'm wondering whether it's a made-up item.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- Couple that with the fact that there's a rather nasty bruise on the corner here.- Yes.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31- Bruise is an auctioneering word for a chip?- Yes. I think only £20 or £40 is going to be achievable.
0:17:31 > 0:17:38OK, £45 paid. Now, what about this little pierced sweetmeat basket, Georgian in style, isn't it?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Georgian in style, but Victorian period, has its original blue glass liner,
0:17:42 > 0:17:47it's a good solid thing and should find a ready market at around £80 to £120.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Oh, dear, £150 they paid for that, that's not so sweet.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- No.- No, absolutely not. OK, fine, well, there's a bit of a hole there.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01They may not do too badly, but I think they'll need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Now, Jen and Steven, you spent £240, you gave Kate 60 smackers, yes?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Let's see what she spent it on.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10OK, there it is.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16- Oh, wow!- Now this is a Victorian little sovereign case, and if I turn it over like that,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20we can see we press the top, and it opens up,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24and that's where the Victorian gent would keep his sovereign,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27that just depresses, and the little coin would go in there.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Now this one is particularly nice, because we have the head here
0:18:32 > 0:18:34on the inside, which is a little bit more unusual.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- It looks like a sovereign, doesn't it?- It does.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It looks as if there is one in there, which is a nice feature,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43and not one that you see on every sovereign case.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Typically Victorian decoration, we've got embossing here of leafage scrolls,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50what we call a little vacant cartouche,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53this could have initials engraved on it, just to personalise it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- Lovely.- It is nice.- So you spent the £60 on it?- No, I spent £40.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Not bad.- I like it.- A bargain.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08The big question is, how many sovereigns will it bring in the auction, do you think?
0:19:08 > 0:19:13It looks like it has one inside, but this is a dummy coin, which is a nice little decorative feature,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17but the thing which is going to affect the value of this is,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- unlike most that you come across, it isn't silver.- No.- It's gilded metal.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26You can pick silver ones up for £40 or £50, so I think perhaps this might only bring £10 or £20.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32Really? £40 paid. Now, Kate is usually pretty hot on her little silver items.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37I wonder whether today she's actually going to dig herself a little bit of a hole there?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Anyway, the sale will start in a moment. Good luck up there on the rostrum.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Now, Al, Sheils...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Feeling all right?- Yes. - Confident?- Yes.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I'm afraid the auctioneer doesn't think that the decanter and glasses match the tray
0:19:55 > 0:19:58and he's been a bit sniffy about it, he's put £20 to £40 on it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02you paid £60, so that could be a bit of a problem, frankly.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03And here it comes.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06A 1950s glass and gilt metal liqueur set.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09£20 to start me on this? 20? 10?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- 10 I'm bid at £10, at 10.- Got £10.
0:20:12 > 0:20:1414, 16, 18,
0:20:14 > 0:20:1820, 22... £22...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20On the front row at 22, all done?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Oh, no, £22, Sheil, I don't believe it!
0:20:26 > 0:20:30That's eight shy of £30, you're minus £38 now.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Here comes the photo album, you paid £70.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36And a Victorian plush and applique decorated photograph album,
0:20:36 > 0:20:3820 to start me? 10? 10 I'm bid,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40at 10, 12 anywhere?
0:20:40 > 0:20:4112, 14,

0:20:49 > 0:20:50In the front row, 28,
0:20:50 > 0:20:5230, 32,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- 34.- They want them photos!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58£34, still in the front row at 34, all done.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03You are minus £36 on that. Now, the Poole.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07A large Poole pottery Volcano patterned charger, 40 I'm bid here,
0:21:07 > 0:21:08at £40, 42,

0:21:35 > 0:21:37ALL: Yes!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39£140!
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I don't believe that!
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- That is so fantastic!- I know!
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You got £90 profit out of that!
0:21:46 > 0:21:49£90 on one item! Plus £90...
0:21:49 > 0:21:55That is absolutely superb, which means, overall, you are plus £16, you are £16 up.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59That is such a result. Right then. The bucket and spoon set, what are you going to do?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Do you fancy a bit of a flutter? - How much was it?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- £35, Anita paid.- Ah, I think it's worth every penny.- Yes. - You think so?
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Well, hold on here, cos £16 is £16, it may not sound a lot of money, right?
0:22:11 > 0:22:16But to make a profit on Bargain Hunt is a considerable achievement, and with 16 notes...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- are you certain you want to risk it? - Yes.- And here it comes
0:22:19 > 0:22:20the set now, here we go.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24A case of four Victorian silver-plated bucket forms, salts,

0:22:38 > 0:22:39She's bidding, look.
0:22:39 > 0:22:4226, 28, £28?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45That's going at £28. All done?
0:22:46 > 0:22:50£28, I don't believe it. £28!
0:22:50 > 0:22:55You're £7 off that, which means you are plus £9, all right?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Wow!- Not so bad, is it?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00That's £9, £4.50 each!
0:23:09 > 0:23:10So how are you feeling, you kids?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Erm, excited? Nervous. - You're excited?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Well, the telescope, the auctioneer thinks is something military,
0:23:16 > 0:23:21he thinks a kind of sighting scope, because you've got tremendous magnification.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25He's put £20 to £40 on it, you paid £45 for it.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28It's your item, Steven. You never know though,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30it's a handy piece of equipment, here it comes.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Early 20th-century leather covered brass telescope,

0:24:32 > 0:24:35well done, girl! This is the one now, the basket.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19That's plus £20 on that, this a peach, what a team!
0:25:19 > 0:25:24Look at that, £20 of profit for each of them, £20, £33!
0:25:24 > 0:25:27£33 up, how good is that?
0:25:27 > 0:25:34- That's great, amazing! - What do you mean, "That's great!"?! It's great-great, that's what it is!
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Well done, well done, girl, that is fantastic.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42What are you going to do about this sovereign case then? Listen carefully, £40 paid,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45you have £33 in the bank, that could be a winning score,
0:25:45 > 0:25:52are you going to risk your £33 and go with the £40 sovereign case, or what are you going to do?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Shall we leave it? We'll leave it. - You're not taking it?
0:25:55 > 0:26:00- You're not taking the bonus buy, you sure?- Yes.- You're not taking the bonus buy,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- but we're going to sell it anyway, here it comes.- £20 to start me?
0:26:04 > 0:26:0620 I'm bid, at 20, at 20...
0:26:06 > 0:26:07two anywhere?... at 22,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10£22, 24,
0:26:10 > 0:26:1124, 26,
0:26:11 > 0:26:1326, 28,
0:26:13 > 0:26:1528 in the centre,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18all done at 28?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22He's sold it for £28. Dear, oh, dear, how close was that?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Minus £12, that was minus £12.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Dear, oh, dear, that was a close call, wasn't it?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Well resisted! You were determined not to take that, weren't you?- Yes.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35And you were absolutely right, well done, Jen.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37That's superb, well done, Steven.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- We're in profit. - So, you are £33 up.- Amazingly so!
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Which is unbelievable, that has taken my breath away, I'll tell you, on two or three counts.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50- Anyway, don't tell the Reds, all right?- No.- How exciting was that! - Great, fantastic!- Thank you.
0:26:58 > 0:27:05How lovely is this, to be handing out profits to both teams, but which team is ahead?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Have you been having a little natter? Comparing notes? - No.- Honestly not?
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- No.- So when I tell you the Reds today are the runners-up,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18is that any great surprise to anyone?
0:27:18 > 0:27:24To be runners-up by only winning £9 is a considerable achievement on Bargain Hunt, I have to tell you,
0:27:24 > 0:27:29and you have made that fantastic volcanic profit on the old Poole plate, right?
0:27:29 > 0:27:34You sold that for £140, making a £90 profit, which is amazing,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37which effectively mopped up all your other losses!
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Anyway, I do send you home with £9, which is lovely, thank you, that's £5,
0:27:41 > 0:27:45and I've a few more here. Is that nice or is it nice?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- You are going to split it, between you? You're not?- Fair enough.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54Anyway, there we go. But the victors, by dint of making solid profits on each of your items,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57it is, of course, the Blue team. Plus £33.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Pretty good, isn't it?- Very good.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- Did you think you were going to make a profit today, Jen? Honestly?- No, not on every item.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Not on every item. You managed to resist the bonus buy,
0:28:07 > 0:28:12- which turned out to be quite a reasonable thing to do too. - Fat lot of good I was!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15They really did choose their items though, so well done.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Fantastic result. I'm going to hand you your £33 now,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- what are you going to do with it? - Theatre, maybe?- Probably.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Probably theatre tickets, well enjoy a great show, cos we have enjoyed a great show today.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? - ALL: Yes!
