0:00:06 > 0:00:12Being a presenter on Bargain Hunt really does have its perks!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Mmm. Delicious. Thank you.
0:00:14 > 0:00:20These gorgeous girls, our contestants, are so accommodating, so generous and so sweet.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24But no amount of buttering-up is gonna make me biased, is it, girls?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27ALL: Oh, suit yourself!
0:00:27 > 0:00:32Oh, dear. I've got some bridges to build before we go bargain hunting.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Welcome, Bargain Hunters.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07We're at the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells today.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08This place is crammed full
0:01:08 > 0:01:11of collectables and bursting with antiques,
0:01:11 > 0:01:18so our teams should have no difficulty in finding their three bargains with their £300 budget.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Each team is given an expert and an hour to shop, but it's not all about having fun on this programme.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Oh, no. There is a serious import and that is to make a lot of profit at the auction.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But which team is going to be triumphant today?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- The Reds are Melanie and Julie. Welcome.- Hello.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- And Mags and Ange are the Blues. - Hello.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- How lovely is that? - HE CHUCKLES
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Now, Mels and Jules, how did you first meet?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Don't know.- We don't really know.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56But we think it was about 17 years ago.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Did you meet in a pub and did it get out of control?- That's possible.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Yeah.- Now we work in the same place, in a primary school.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- A primary school. - With special needs.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Good on you. Now, it's normal to refer to you as the Reds.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Yep.- But you've asked that you have a special team name today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- What's that?- Absolutely. We're going to be known as the Antique Avengers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19HE CHUCKLES
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Why's that, then?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Because we have a quiz team
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- and we like to choose different names.- Is this a school quiz team?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Yes.- Now, your real passion is films, isn't it?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- I love films and my favourite film of all is Gone With The Wind.- Is it?
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Yes. Unfortunately, my children have suffered from that because I called one Rhett and one Scarlett.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- Well, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn! - THEY LAUGH
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Julie, you love films but you like taking stills.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I prefer going out with my camera and taking photographs.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Are you into the digital?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I've bought a digital, but I haven't done much yet.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- They're just brilliant. You'll never look back.- No.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02So what's your ambition with all your winnings today?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Well, Tim, we're going to go on a cruise.- A cruise?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- The two of us.- Any particular place? - Bahamas, somewhere like that. - West Indies.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12There you go. You've got ambition. That's what we want.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Now, for the Blues. Like the Reds, you two met at school.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Yes, we did. We were about ten years old and we went to a convent, the local convent.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23The Reds have a team name.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25What team name would you like?
0:03:25 > 0:03:30As we're convent old girls, we decided we'd like to be the COGs.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- HE LAUGHS - You convent girls. There's no stopping you(!)
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Mags, you should be good at Bargain Hunt cos you're a negotiator.- Yes, I am.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- I sell new homes. - Yeah?- It's very enjoyable.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- What do you enjoy about it? - Meeting different people
0:03:45 > 0:03:48from all walks of life and helping them,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52from the day they put the deposit down to the day they get the keys.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Like a cradle-to-grave job. - Absolutely. Yeah. Very rewarding. - Yes.- Yes.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Ange, tell me about the story of your difficulties with the window cleaner.
0:04:01 > 0:04:08Well! I went to put my washing in the machine one day, which is not unusual.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10My washing machine is out in the garage.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Right.- So I put everything in and I stood there and I thought,
0:04:14 > 0:04:20- "I'll put my nightdress in too," except I was wearing it at the time. - Lovely.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22So I peeled off my nightdress, put it in the machine,
0:04:22 > 0:04:28switched it on, only to see a pair of ladders going past the window.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33I thought, "Right, I've got time to get up the stairs and he won't have seen me."
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Good plan.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40So I ran into the house, up the stairs, just to arrive on the landing
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- to see that he was at the landing window.- What did he say?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- "Nice view." - THEY GUFFAW
0:04:47 > 0:04:49We don't want any of those high jinks on this programme!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Now, this is the money moment.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- £300. There's the £300. - Thank you, Tim.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00So who will finish up top of the class today?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Cruising with the Antique Avengers is David Harper
0:05:07 > 0:05:11and sticking religiously with the Convent Old Girls is Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- David! Julie!- What have you found?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I tell you what she's found.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21This is Tim's own private transport!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Wow(!)- You can't buy this. - I can see Tim sitting in it now.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25I really think it's lovely.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Do you think it's made up?- Yeah.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32It's the kind of thing that's probably been built in someone's garage. Maybe, what? 1960s?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- Yes, I'd say.- Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36So it's got a steering wheel. Does everything work?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Seems to be in order. - HORN HONKS
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Hey! Look at that.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- We've got the Wolseley badge on the front, there. - Well, I think it's a cracker.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Good.- I really do. What sort of money is it?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47He wants 85 for it.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- It has to be the cheapest Wolseley on the planet.- It has.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Get it a bit less and I think it'll be a good buy.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- OK. I'll go and try my best. - Haggle away there, Mel.- I will.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00So whilst you two shrink yourselves down for a cruise,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Mel shrank the price down to tow the car in at £70.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- What do you think of this little vase?- Oh, gosh. That's pretty. - I really like the colours.- Yeah.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Little mottled glass vase, for Molino.- Mm?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15A name synonymous with this type of material.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I'd say it's sort of 30 or 40 years old.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- It'd look lovely with some daffodils in.- Exactly. It's a very pretty vase, isn't it?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24It is. Yes. It is.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It's not expensive. The label's on the top.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- £32. What do you think of that price?- Well, do your best, really.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35There's not much room you can squeeze out of it, but squeeze what you can, I'd say!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38OK. If we can get £5-£10 off, would that be a good price?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41For the first buy, I think that'd be quite good.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- OK, then. Let's go with it. - Best of luck.- OK.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51Angela squeezed as hard as she could, paying a juicy £22.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53THEY CHAT
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- What do you think about that? - I quite like that.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- That's lovely. - Do you know what it is?- No!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02You're easily pleased, for goodness' sake!
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Is it Art Deco?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Art Nouveau. But it's a bottle stand for a wine bottle.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's devastatingly stylish, but the coup de grace,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- the best thing about this item... Look at the base.- Oh, look.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Stamped.- It's stamped WMF.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Now, WMF, a German manufacturer. - Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Mass produced, you know, knives and forks for many years,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25but about the late 19th century, early 20th century,
0:07:25 > 0:07:29moved heavily into the Art Nouveau movement. Did a fantastic job.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I like it.- I like that. - Feel it. Very heavy.- Gosh. Yeah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Substantial quality.- Yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Now, price-wise, how would you value that?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I would say it would be out of our price range!
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- 200? Something like that. - You've bought it. Thanks very much!
0:07:48 > 0:07:49THEY LAUGH
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- £140. - Right.- But I think it's good.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I think it might make £200 in a good sale.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- What do you think? - I think do the deal.- Yeah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Can I?- I think you can.- Right. Yes.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Thumbs up.- Thumbs up. OK, girls.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And that's exactly what David did.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11He handed over a full-bodied 140 notes for the wine holder.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16OK, ladies, this box here. What's your first impression?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Well, when I first saw it I thought it looks really decorative, really beautiful,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24but then I noticed all of this damage.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30What we've got here is an early Victorian rosewood
0:08:30 > 0:08:31- and inlaid workbox.- Yes.- OK.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Nicely inlaid to the top with mother-of-pearl, brass
0:08:34 > 0:08:37and abalone shells. Very typically Victorian.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Sadly, we've got some brass, mother-of-pearl
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and a bit of abalone shell missing.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Could it be repaired? - It's not a difficult thing.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48It's materials which are available to a restorer.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52The escutcheon has this nice shield shape to it and then we've got birds of paradise,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56so I think that with some tender loving care,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59it'll bring it up to being quite a spectacular piece.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01He's asking £55 for it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I mean, even in this condition,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think it's sort of £60-80, at auction.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07That's great. Shall we go for it?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I think you should. One of you's going to have to haggle. Who's going to?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12I'm going to do it again.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Good luck. I'm going to go find some more bargains.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17OK. We'll go and see what we can do.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18See you later.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Keen as mustard is our Ange.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Bargaining for the Blues,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26she trimmed the asking price down to £48.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31What do you think of this? I found it on the stall there.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Well, that looks like it's more your kind of thing, Julie!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I just like the decoration on the front.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Yeah, exactly. What does that decoration tell you?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42The floral one we saw earlier on was Art Nouveau,
0:09:42 > 0:09:43so is this Art Deco?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Yes! Well done, you two.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Pair of experts within five minutes.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49- And this is silver?- It is silver.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52You can tell by the back markings, here.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I haven't got my silver book so I can't date it,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56but it doesn't really matter - we know how old it is.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It's got to be 1930s.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Yes.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- There you go. Look. - Do you think that's the original?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I was going to ask you that. What do you think?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07It seems to fit, fits the space, doesn't it?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- It does.- Yeah. - What do you think, Mel?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- And the mirror's quite nice.- It is. - Now then, what kind of money?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- It's worth £35, they offered it.- 35.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Can we get it any less, do you think?- I think we can go down to 25,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- do you think, Mel? - Try your best, Julie.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24If you can get it for that, I can't see you going wrong.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26It's a seller, isn't it? It's got to be.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- £25, then.- Go for it. - Do your best!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Gosh. They know what they want, don't they?
0:10:32 > 0:10:38Julie was right made up, pocketing the compact for the desired £25.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Jonathan, what do you think to this?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- OK.- Isn't it beautiful? - It's very pretty.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46First impressions, it's a late Victorian piece
0:10:46 > 0:10:49of very likely gold jewellery, hinged bangle,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51We've got this sort of,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54almost a mill grain or very finely beaded scalloped edge
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and these big beads in between,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and this nice, twisted-wire decoration on the shoulders,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03which is very nice. Got a hallmark at the bottom here.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07And it's hallmarked 9.375 for nine-carat gold.
0:11:07 > 0:11:13It's got a chestable mark and it's a G in a scroll which is 1907.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14How much do they want for it?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- 220.- £220?- Yes.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20OK. I think if we get the price down, we could make a profit out of it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22We'd better go do something about it
0:11:22 > 0:11:24because there's not much time left.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I think we'd better get on, so I'll pop it in to the box and...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29off you go. See what you can do.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- We will.- Thanks a lot.- Bye.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37In the end, the COGs paid a sparkling £180 for the bracelet.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39# Tick, tock, tick, tock. #
0:11:39 > 0:11:41That's it. Shopping's over.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Let's read the report card and recap on what the Reds bought.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51The Antique Avengers motored in with the £70 Wolseley child's car.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55They paid a robust £140 for the Art Nouveau wine holder.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00And could the silver compact leave them blushing at auction?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Girls, did you have a good time?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Great.- We had a fabulous time, Tim.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Now, which is your favourite item?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I think it was the Art-Nou wine-bottle holder that expert picked for us.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Oh, right.- That expert?!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Yeah, that expert.- Who's he?- You.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I think we agree that probably is... - The wine bottle holder.- Oh.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- And you spent all £235...- We did.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26..which is brilliant. I want £65 of leftover lolly, please.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Thank you very much. There's the £65.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Now we come to that expert.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- HE CHUCKLES - What will you do with the £65?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I've seen something that's slightly unusual - very silver. Very small.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Potentially not everybody's cup of tea. Slightly irky to some people.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Might make some people want to vomit.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Really? I'm intrigued, mate. You'd better go buy it.- I'd better go!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51But for us, let's recap on what the Blues have bought.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56The Convent Old Girls kicked off with a smashing Molina-glass vase.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Will they contain any profit
0:12:58 > 0:13:02with the £48 they paid for the Victorian box?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06And finally, could they wrangle a win with the bangle?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Now, you had a lovely time, didn't you?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- We've had a fabulous day. - You naughty girls.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Which is your favourite piece?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- We think the bracelet.- The bracelet. - The bracelet's your favourite?- Yes.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- The bracelet!
0:13:21 > 0:13:23It's a bit of a chorus, this.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Anyway, you've been so good, you've spent £250.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27£50 of leftover lolly.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Thank you very much, which goes to Jonathan.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Now, Jonathan, how do you view this challenge?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Are you excited about it?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Raring to go, Tim. - Raring?- Raring to go!
0:13:35 > 0:13:36But will you find anything?
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Well, I've found one or two things. I think I might have something in mind.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- That's a bit enigmatic, isn't it? - Yes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54We're back in Malvern at Philip Serrell's excellent sale room with the great man himself.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58So, Melanie and Julie, with the lovely David Harper,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00have gone with the first lot, which is this pedal car.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Is this any good, Phil?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I think if you're a real petrol head, who knows,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08it might make its money, but I think 30 to 50's a reasonable estimate.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I don't know about this petrol head. I think it's more a pedal head.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Anyway, they paid £70 for it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Now, the next item - this pewter WMF bottle holder.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Is this yesterday's antique?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24I like it and WMF was very sought-after, very, very collectable,
0:14:24 > 0:14:29but I have a feeling, like you, that it might have reached the top of the hill already.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- What's the estimate?- 80-120.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Is it?- Yes.- You're not going to get tempted to go a bit more than that?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Well, no.- No. £140 they paid.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39What about this compact? Bit girly for you, I know.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44Long time since I've used powder. Polyfilla is more the thing...
0:14:44 > 0:14:45So, how much for the case?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I think that's £20-30 worth.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Do you?- Yeah.- £25 they paid. So not too bad.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51We'll win with a bit of luck.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57So, I've a funny feeling this team are going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Now, Mels and Jules, do you remember all that money you gave to David?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Yes.- Yes. - £65 you gave him - you spent £235,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09he spent £65 on the bonus buy.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11What have you got, David?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- I didn't, I spent- £10... £10!
0:15:13 > 0:15:17It's a 1925 solid silver pill box.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21And it's got, frozen for all time in the top, a bug.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- It has.- Yes.- A stuffed butterfly,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25well, stuffed within a piece of glass.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28That would put some people off. Doesn't worry me.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29- No. No.- That's faded. Is that faded?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I would have thought so, yeah.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- What do you think, girls? Are you repulsed by it?- Not at all.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40That's lovely. You're teachers, you've been repulsed by a lot in your time!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42A butterfly is what you call chicken feed.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- I think you had a good buy, there. - I'd pay more than £10 for that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47What would you pay?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- I think I'd go up to 25. - You'd go to 25.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Would you, Mel?- Yes.- You would.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Anyway, you don't have to decide now.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57You'll decide after the sale of your first three items,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01but for the viewers at home, let's find out what Philip Serrell thinks about it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- What do you make of that? - I prefer it to that one.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I think there's a profit in that. I think that's £15-30 worth.- Do you?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Yeah, I do.- Well, that's brilliant,
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- cos they paid a tenner, you know. - He's got a good eye.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Now for the Blues, Margaret and Angela,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20with Jonathan Pratt. First up is this glass pot.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I suppose that came from the Isle of Wight, did it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:28- Yeah, Medina. It's £15-30 worth. - Well, that's OK. £22 was paid.- Yeah.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- So that's in with a chance.- Yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34What about this Victorian rosewood box? That's brilliant, isn't it?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Yeah, that's brilliant.- Yes.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- That's not quite so brilliant.- Oh, dear.- It's had real water damage.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Shame, isn't it, cos all those bits would be very expensive to replace, wouldn't they?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47It's actually a crying shame because you've got a box
0:16:47 > 0:16:50that was probably £150-250 worth, or more.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Yes.- And now, I think it's £30-50 worth.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Well, £48 they paid, so they've taken a bit of a chance with that.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Their last item is the gold bangle.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Yeah. It's all so small, isn't it? - It is for a bambino, isn't it?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Yeah. I mean, I think that it's £100-150, if we're lucky.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Well, they paid £180,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12which definitely means they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Let's go and have a look at it, smartish.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Ready? Ta-da!
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- What is it? - Animal, vegetable or mineral?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- It's a biscuit tin.- Biscuit tin. - Made by Huntley & Palmers.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29And they presented their biscuits in these lovely, decorative tins.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30They became very collectable
0:17:30 > 0:17:34and I bought one very collectable example for you.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I spent on this £23.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Wow!- OK - £23. Not a lot of lolly.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Admittedly, there's a slight little compression to the top.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It means a dent. That's auctioneer's speak for dent!
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Yeah. It's a way of skirting around.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51But I did see one on another stall for £100, he was asking.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- Did that have a slight depression on it?- No, it didn't, no!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I think there's money in it.- You do. - Yes.- But it's a bonus buy.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- You don't have to decide right now. OK.- Yes.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05You decide later, but for the viewers at home let's find out what the Malvern audience
0:18:05 > 0:18:09is likely to make of a Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13I quite like it. It's got that Viennese Secessionist look to it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I quite like this sort of painted-timber effect here.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I'm afraid it's a tin box to me - I know it's been stencilled up,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23but I can't get away from the fact that it's just a tin box.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- But some of these tin boxes make a lot of money.- I know.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- £10-15,000.- I know, yeah.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- I don't think this is one of them. - No.- I think if we can find somebody who will pay £20-30,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36it'll be a job well done.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Actually, Pratt paid £23. - That's all right.- So, £23 to £30,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41he should get away and make a small profit,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45which is nice for the bonus buy cos you know how difficult this is.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46It's impossible. Impossible.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Anyway, you're the auctioneer today? - Yeah.- Great. We're in safe hands.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Now, Mels and Jules, it's a nervous moment.- Very nervous.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Do you wish you hadn't bought one of the items that you have bought?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- No. I think we're very happy... - Worried about the wine cooler.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Dubious about that. - Don't you worry about that,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14it's WMF, we're in a quality saleroom. You'll be all right.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Plenty of scope for lots of fun and games. First lot coming up
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- is the pedal car. Here it comes. - Lot number 253...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24is this lovely little pedal car.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26A restoration case, this. There you are.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Very polite.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Bid me for that, someone. Start me off. £50.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Well, bid me, 30.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Any more, at all? Come on.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52At £30 and I sell at 30.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Ohh!- I'm so sorry. - Not good, girls, is it?

0:20:27 > 0:20:30At £90 and done. Thank you.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34£90. Minus £50 on that. Not looking good.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Lot number 255
0:20:36 > 0:20:39is this rather nice little silver compact.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Bid me for that, someone. £20. 20.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45You've all gone very quiet. Who's got a tenner?

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Wiped your face!
0:21:08 > 0:21:12OK. Fine. You're minus £90. OK. What are you going to do?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Are you going to go with the pill box with the moth?- Absolutely.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- It's going to fly away. - Yes. It's going to fly out.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Lot 259 is a really nice
0:21:21 > 0:21:23little silver hallmarked patch box
0:21:23 > 0:21:26fitted with a butterfly under the glass.

0:21:59 > 0:22:04that we're nevertheless £75 down the drain. Minus 75.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Are you sure?- Recount!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09You're minus £75.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10All right. Tell you what,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13for the fun of the game, don't tell the Blues anything.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- No, we won't.- Looking really positive.- Yeah. We are positive!
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- It's a winning score.- Oh, dear!
0:22:28 > 0:22:31So, Mags and Ange, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:22:31 > 0:22:32- Not at all.- Not at all.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We don't want you to, which is brilliant.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- How do you feel about things generally? Margaret?- It's brilliant.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- You're very confident?- Yes.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40- You're £15 in profit.- £7.50 each.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45I want you to think biscuits. Are you going to go with this bonus buy?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46What are you going to do?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Oh, I think so. - You are going with it?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51We're going with it. Here it is.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Lot number 283
0:24:52 > 0:24:55is the Secessionist biscuit tin.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Rather sadly, I quite like this, but there you go. Bid me for it.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Who's got £30?
0:25:00 > 0:25:0330. Who's got 20?
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Oh, dear.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Who's got a tenner? - Oh, gosh.- Ten, I'm bid.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13At £10 I'm bid at 10. 10 bid. 15, may I? At £10 only. £10.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- We've lost. - Help them out, somebody.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18At £10 only. At 10. Is there any more?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I sell then at £10 and done.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I've blown it then, haven't I?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25That's minus £13,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28but you're nevertheless £2 in profit.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31By the skin of my teeth!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33By the skin of your teeth.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- That's £1 each and that's not paying him any commission, neither.- I know.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Anyway, there we go. Bit of fun, hey?- Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40- Don't tell the Reds.- We won't.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42And we'll reveal all in a moment.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Well, we've come around the corner for our wraps today
0:25:56 > 0:25:58at the Malvern St James Girls' School.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Now, have you been talking to one another?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- No.- No. Not at all. Very good.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Unfortunately, we do have a substantial runner-up
0:26:06 > 0:26:08in today's programme
0:26:08 > 0:26:10and that team is the Reds.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Oh, no!- No!- I felt it coming. - LAUGHTER
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Well, minus £90...
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- is a fairly substantial feeling coming on, isn't it?- Yeah.
