0:00:19 > 0:00:24'Today, we're at Epsom Downs Racecourse Antiques Fair in Surrey.'
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Now, the rules of the game. Two teams, the Reds and Blues
0:00:28 > 0:00:33each get ?300 and an hour to shop for their three items.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37'Then it's off to the auction, where their items go under the hammer.'
0:00:39 > 0:00:43The team that makes the most profit wins.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46It's easy, isn't it? So let's go and meet the teams,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49unless you're too dizzy.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Today we have two teams of happily married couples.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Well, they are at the moment.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56For the Reds, we've got Beryl and Jim
0:00:56 > 0:00:58and for the Blues, we've got Pat and Dave.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Welcome to Bargain Hunt, teams. ALL: Hello, Tim.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Now, Beryl, tell us about how you met Jim.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I met him at a respite hotel.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10It was five days he asked me to marry him. Yes?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And nine weeks later, we were wed.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Jim, you're retired now, but you've had a bit of a seafaring life.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19That's right, yes. I was on board the HMS Belfast.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21You're a collector, aren't you? Yes.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Unusual ink drawings? That's right, yes.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30I like tattoos. I've got quite a few - about 39 in all.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Are you going to show us one? Legs and arms...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yes. This is quite an easy one to get to.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38It's a family show, this, don't forget.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40That's the one I like the best,
0:01:40 > 0:01:44because that was the one my father had on.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49And then I got a drawing copied from him sent to me in Hong Kong...
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And it says... "Good luck." Good luck.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Good luck to you. Now for the Blues.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Pat, tell us how you first met.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Well, we had an electrical fault in the kitchen
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and I phoned the LEB and this lovely gentleman arrived.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08And it was sparks ever since? You could say that.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Is there anything you'll be keeping your eyes peeled for today?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Not particularly for character jugs,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17but I have got a good collection of them.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Right. And we picked one up in Norfolk,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23in an antique shop.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27But because somebody said we've already got that one...
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Somebody standing quite close to you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34But I gradually talked her into it, and, later on, I sold it for ?1,000.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36And how much did you pay? ?95.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Gosh, that's good, isn't it? Well, I'd look out for another one today.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42You never know. That's brilliant, isn't it?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Are you scared already? Yes. I'm not surprised.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Now is the money moment. There's your ?300. You know the rules.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Your experts await and off you go, and very, very good luck.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56So, quite who is going to reign victorious today?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01'Let's find out who will be guiding our teams.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05'Bagging some bargains for the Reds is Kate Bliss.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09'Cutting a mean deal for the Blues is Thomas Plant.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13MUSIC: "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller
0:03:13 > 0:03:16And they'll be under starter's orders today
0:03:16 > 0:03:19as they look after not one, but two lots of teams.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Hey, Jim, what have you found there?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25It's a little tin Hornby Series. That takes us back, doesn't it?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Do you remember this when you were a kid? Yes, I do.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31It is, of course, a signal box, isn't it? Yeah.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35And would be part of a much bigger Hornby train set.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40But, as just one single piece, that's collectible in its own right.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Now, we have the little retailers' and makers' trademark there.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Hornby Series.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50But you've also got the box, which is another bonus.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Collectors do like the boxes,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53even though it's a bit tatty on the corner here.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55But that's not too much to worry about.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59But what price is it? It was up for ?35.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00And I had a chat with the man,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03who is a very nice fella, and I got it for ?20.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07And have you bought it at that? Yes. Well done, Jim.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08What do you think, Beryl?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09That's cheeky.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12'I say she's right.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17'The Reds spent ?20 and still have lots of lolly in the bank.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20'I wonder if the Blues are having as much fun.'
0:04:20 > 0:04:24So what have you found there? A compass.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Can I hold it? There we are.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I think it's a Second World War compass, from a ship.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32But the reason I say that is because we've got the arrow there.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34You'd have that when you were in the RAF.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Stacks of it. Behind the arrow, you've got a crown.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41That crown is George VI's crown.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45And I think, if I'm not mistaken, they've got a slide button.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47My theory is that it's a torch.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51There to shine up, so you can see it in the dark. You can illuminate it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55So, it's marked up at ?55. We can see the price there.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59These should sell between ?50-80. Maybe a bit less.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03So I'd have thought that anything off that would be a good bonus.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Yes, if you could get it for a song.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Shall we chat with the dealer? Let's go.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14'Hoping it will keep them on course in rocky seas,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18'the Blues purchase the compass for ?40.'
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Now, I know you thought it wouldn't be good
0:05:21 > 0:05:23to spend too much money on one item.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27This is a really affordable piece. What do you think? It's great.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30You like it? Yes, I do. Beryl's turning her nose up already.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32What do you think, Beryl? I don't like it.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36She never does like it. What don't you like about it?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39He's got one in the hallway that he taps every time he walks by.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I can't bear it.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43This is quite a nice example.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45It's got this lovely oak surround
0:05:45 > 0:05:49and we've got a ceramic dial here, rather than paper or enamel.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52And all the printing on it is still quite nice.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It's not Victorian. It's an early 20th-century one.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59But the best thing about it is that it's not going to break the bank.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03It's priced at ?24. Now, I didn't think that was too bad anyway,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06but I have had a chat to the stallholder
0:06:06 > 0:06:10and he's come down to ?15 for me. Now, ?15 for a good, solid,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14working barometer, I think is a bit of a bargain. Yeah.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Can you put your commercial head on, even though you don't like it?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Yeah. Do you think somebody might pay more for that? Yes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Happy? Yeah, it would. It would make an old man very happy.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Well, do you want to come and help me do the deal, then? Certainly.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30OK. Come on, then. This way.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32So the deal was done and, as promised,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36the Reds get the barometer for only ?15.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38What do you think of this, Thomas?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Tell me about it. Why has that grabbed you?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Well, it looks like two First World War airmen... Yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48And they have a big question mark. Why? Absolutely.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So Dave, you were in the RAF, weren't you?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53So it is something which you know a lot about.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56This is obviously a very emotive piece for you, isn't it?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57It is, really.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01You've got the two airmen here and the question mark, as you have said.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's made out of plaster. Is it? Oh! Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07And it's got that really sort of soft feel to it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10And obviously it's for cigarettes or for pipes or for cigars.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Very unusual. It is unusual and it's circa 1916, on the ticket.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Pat, what do you think of the price? 150?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22I think that's quite a lot, really. You're quite right.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24That 150 needs to come down.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27So shall we go and chat to the dealer? Yes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Dave's gentle persuasion saw the Blues picking up
0:07:30 > 0:07:33the ashtray for ?100.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Boys. What do you think of this? Definitely.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I think that's quite nice. What do you think?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44It's a very fine mantel clock.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Then you've got two urns there. Yes.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Those urns could sit either side of the clock.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53So the three together is the garniture. Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56First of all, it's got a white enamel face
0:07:56 > 0:07:59with painted numerals - these are called Arabic numerals.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02And they're framed by swags. You can see these floral swags.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Now, this gilt metal, in this instance,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07is rather poor, because it's splitting on the drum, here.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Can you see that? You see, that's not great.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Personally, it's only worth, to me, ?120-150.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18You know, and that's what you might get at auction for it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20As a garniture, it's quite a nice thing,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22but that's where I sit with it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Well, they want ?170. ?170. I think that's a bit too much.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I think it's too much. I'm in agreement with you, Dave.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Let's go chat to the dealer.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34'Trust a lady to spend a gent's money.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37'They picked up the clock for ?130.'
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Look what I've got.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Hey! Look at the box. Isn't it lovely?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48That's lovely, Beryl. Manifesto, it's called.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49"The new race game".
0:08:49 > 0:08:53And you've got this lovely, printed racing image.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56It says here, published by John Jaques Son.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Now, that's interesting, because Jaques Son Ltd of London
0:08:59 > 0:09:01actually manufactured croquet sets.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04And I wonder if it's the same gaming firm.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Hey, isn't that super? It looks to be all complete.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It's all lead. Lead horses.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13How lovely. You've got eight horses, or counters, for the game.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15And this must be the board.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Let's have a little look, Jim. If you hold one end.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21That's great, isn't it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:27So, obviously, you throw the dice and the race begins.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30And you've got the horses' names here. Manifesto, of course,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32giving the game its name.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Green Ginger, Shannon Lass. Why Not? Why Not?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Now, tell me, what's the price?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42?140. That's a lot of our money, isn't it?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44And he won't come down.
0:09:44 > 0:09:51I can see somebody paying ?150-160, because it's in such nice order.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54And I think in a sale with other toys in it,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57so toy buyers are there, it could do quite well.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58We are at Epsom racecourse.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Well, it's smashing to be at Bellmans Auctioneers in West Sussex
0:10:11 > 0:10:15with my old schoolmate - I mean, workmate - Jonathan Pratt.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Jonathan, how nice to see you. Morning, Timothy.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Jim and Beryl, their first item is this little barometer.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Any good? Rather plain.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28A simple object. Oak-cased barometer. ?15-25.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Perfect. ?15, they paid. There's a bit of room in that one.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Next is the Hornby tin-plate, wee signalman's box.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's certainly in very good condition.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42The collectors are gentlemen in their twilight years,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45who are nostalgic and are looking for the best quality.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47So how much is it going to bring them?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51About ?15-25. A little bit of hesitation there?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Well, I think that's about the money, ?15-25. Well, ?20, they paid.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Just about the money.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00By the time collectors get excited, we should be away.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Now, the final lot I think is most interesting.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Would you have a flutter on this?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08It's by Jaques, which is a good name.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10It's complete. No damage.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Little bit of play-wear on them, but, you know, bearable.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16So, yeah, I really like it, actually. What's your estimate?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20My estimate for that is ?100-150.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Is it? Well, they paid ?140. It may get to the top of that.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Because it's nice and complete, it may do better than that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:34Bearing in mind what you've had to say about all of this lot - no.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38They could need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Jim and Beryl, you gave Kate Bliss ?125 of leftover lolly.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47What did she spend it on? Well, it was quite hard to spend all that.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52And I ended up finding you something a bit different.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54It's nice. Have a little feely feel.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Oh, Beryl likes it. I like it.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Now, it's actually a pen holder or pen stand for your desk.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03And you've got this rather nice eagle here.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Do you see the detail of the feathers on his wings?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I thought he was rather a handsome chap.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It is very nice. Like it? Now, it is silver plate rather than silver,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14but it's by a very well-known maker, Walker Hall.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Right. How much was it? It was ?30.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Ooh! But I think somebody might pay a little bit more than that for it.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24You don't have to decide right now.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Let's find out from the auctioneer what he thinks about the eagle.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Well, here you go, Jonathan, winging its way across.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Lovely. What do you make of that? I'd say it's a cigarette holder.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39It's certainly a cigarette holder for the desk. Yes.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42The little flag there, W, Walker Hall. So, good maker.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Is it worth a lot? I reckon we'll get ?30-40 for it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Kate Bliss will cover you with kisses.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Oh, brilliant. ?30, she paid, you see.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54So if you get ?30-50, she'll be over the moon.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00We've another agglomeration of extraordinary objects.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Starting off with the bearing compass.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07You've got black lacquer and brass on it.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09The brass is a bit polished up.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11They do like it with a lacquer on it.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15It's a bit clean. I'd have thought we'll get between ?30-50 for it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18That's fine. ?40 was paid. So, it's right in the middle.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21What about this ashtray made of plaster?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24A good-looking piece. A bit of collectible from the war.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28And it's weird, this question mark. What do you make of it?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Well, maybe it has some sort of macabre sense.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Who's next? When's your number up?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38So, do you think it will make the ton?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I don't think it'll get that far to be honest with you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45My estimate's ?20-30. How much? ?20-30.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Lordy! There is a big question mark hanging over it. Afraid so.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Now, yesterday's antiques for some people.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53These little clock garnitures?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55The fashion tends to move towards the modern.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59This is a bit more Grandma's mantelpiece.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02But there's a collector out there for it. I think it will sell.
0:14:02 > 0:14:08I've priced it at ?50-80. I'm afraid they paid ?130.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Yeah. Pat and Dave, they went overboard for this.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15They like it. They've taken two quite big risks here.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Therefore they'll need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Don't be! That shock. That pregnant pause!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Look.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Isn't that cute? It's a really retro toy from Mattel.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35How old do you think it is? Oh, it's 1968. '68.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39It's dated on the side, if you have a look.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42How much did you pay for it? Oh, a huge ?18.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46?18? ?18. At least ?18.50.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Do you think it will make something?
0:14:48 > 0:14:53I'd predict all of a ?2 profit. ?20. ?2. It might make ?20.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55It might make more. You don't have to decide now.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Let's see what the auctioneer thinks.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03Well, a little jack-in-the-box, or jack-in-the-music-box, as it is.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Turn the handle, it plays a tune.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Do you want to sing along?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Oh, dear. There he is. So, would your children be grateful -
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I think this is a bit of market research - if you took that home?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Would they be amused by this?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I think they probably would, for a little while.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I think we'll put that well and truly away.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28What's it worth, then? I'd say between ?10-20.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Not too bad. Thomas Plant paid ?18. I think, if you wind it
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and he comes out with a fistful of tenners.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37We've spawned yet another TV programme.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42You taking the auction today? I am indeed, yeah. Well done.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44190. 210. Are you all done?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'll sell, then, for ?210.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52Now, how are you feeling? Cool? Yes. Relaxed?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Is there any piece that you wish that you hadn't bought,
0:15:55 > 0:15:56that you got in the auction?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Any second thoughts? Barometer. What's the matter with that?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I hate it. I don't know about that. Kate recommended it to you.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I know. ?15 is all that was paid.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11And the auctioneer's estimate is ?15-25. That's not too bad.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14You like it, don't you, Jim? I do like it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17You think it's set fair, don't you? I do, definitely.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20The first lot is the barometer and here it comes. Good luck.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Lot 1451a. We've an oak-cased aneroid barometer
0:16:24 > 0:16:26with ceramic dial, circa 1900.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Start me at ?30 for this. ?30.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33?20, then. ?20 is bid, thank you, madam.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35?20 for the lady. Two anywhere else?
0:16:35 > 0:16:41At ?20, then, the front row made a bid of ?20. All done at 20?
0:16:41 > 0:16:46That's very good. ?20. Plus ?5. Nice start. Now, on the...
0:16:46 > 0:16:50A 1950s Hornby tin-plate signal box.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Nice lot, this. And I'm bid ?10 to start.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55?10 is bid. Looking for ?12 now. We're bid ?10.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57?12, lady at the back, now. ?15 anywhere?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Gentleman has bid at ?12. ?12 it is.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Do I see ?15? ?12 with you, sir.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06BERYL: Oh, come on!
0:17:06 > 0:17:10?12. Minus ?8. You're minus ?3 overall.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13A Jaques Manifesto racing game
0:17:13 > 0:17:16with painted lead-horse counters, cards and base board,
0:17:16 > 0:17:21in a cedar wood box. Who'll start me at ?100 for this?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24?60, then. Come on. ?60 is bid on the right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27And five. And 70, sir. 75.
0:17:27 > 0:17:3080. Five. 90. Five.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33100. 110. 120. 130.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36140. 150. 160.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39170. 180. 190.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41200. 210.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43That's racing ahead. 220. 230?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48?220, then, gentleman in the hat, on the right, at ?220.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51230. 240. 250.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55260. 270. 280. 290.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58300. 320 is the next bid. 320.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I don't believe it. He hasn't finished yet.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04?380. Gentleman in the hat still at ?380.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07For ?380...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09SQUEALING
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Absolutely magical. Brilliant!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Well done. ?380.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21You've made a profit of ?240 on that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24That means, overall, you're ?237 up.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Now, what are you going to do
0:18:27 > 0:18:31about the eagle pencil-and-cigarette holder?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Shall we stick with it? Stick with it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Are you sure you want to do that? No bonus buy?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40No bonus buy. But we'll sell it anyway and here it comes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Lot 1456a, a silver-plated pen holder in the form of an eagle.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46This one by Walker Hall. Handsome lot, this.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50And two bids on the books. Straight in at ?30 is bid.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53?30. ?30. Going for five now.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56?30. Main bid of ?30. Are we all done at ?30?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Straight away at ?30. Last chance, selling ?30.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06?30. It wiped its face. So you have ?237 profit.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09And I do congratulate you. It's brilliant.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Now, you must not tell the Blues a thing.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Go out of here looking really depressed.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17That is a result, though, isn't it?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Well done, darling.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26# All I really want is money in my pocket
0:19:26 > 0:19:30# Cash in my hand, yo, scrilla in my wallet... #
0:19:32 > 0:19:35?100. How are you feeling, Blues?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I'm fine. Feeling fine? Absolutely fine. Feeling cool?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Absolutely. Freezing.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43First item that comes up is the hand-held bearing compass.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48And here it comes. Lot 1472a. A compass.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Brass and black lacquer, with a back light.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55And... ?30 for this? ?30 to start me?
0:19:55 > 0:19:5820, then. 20 is bid.
0:19:58 > 0:20:0125, sir? And 30. 35.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06And 40. 45. 50. 55.
0:20:06 > 0:20:0960. ?55.
0:20:09 > 0:20:1260 anywhere else? ?55, then, gentleman's bid.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15In the centre. Last chance. ?55.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21Well done. ?55. Plus ?15.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Now, your ashtray.
0:20:23 > 0:20:281473a. We have a World War I plaster ashtray for the Royal Flying Corps.
0:20:28 > 0:20:34And I have a flurry of bids to start me in at ?25.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37And 30. At ?30 at the back. Looking for five now.
0:20:37 > 0:20:4335. 40. ?40, then.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45At ?40 and selling for ?40.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Last chance and selling. ?40.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53?40. Minus ?60, I'm afraid. That's a big, deep hole.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Minus ?45. It's not as bad as it could be.
0:20:57 > 0:21:03Here it comes. It's the garniture. 1474a. A French clock garniture.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Nice-looking lot, this. ?40 is bid. At ?40. And five. And 50.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10And five and 60. And five and 70.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14And five and 80. ?85.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17?85. Do I see 90?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20That's not bad. Are you all done?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24?85. It is on sale at the left at ?85.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29?85. That's minus ?45 on that.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33You are minus ?90 overall. ?90. What are you going to do?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Minus 90 is not so hot. Yes, please. Jack-in-the-box.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You hope it's going to pop you out a profit?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41You're going with the bonus buy for ?18 and here it comes.
0:21:41 > 0:21:48Lot 1477a. A Mattel tin jack-in-the-music-box circa 1968.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51There is a cheerful soul, this. Surely start me at ?20 for this.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53?20. Go on. Tenner, then.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Ten is bid. Thank you. On the left at ten. Looking for 12 now.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Gentleman seated, at ten. 12 anywhere else?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02?10 it is, then. At ?10.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Last chance at ?10.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Bad luck. ?10. Minus eight.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Minus ?98, all right?
0:22:11 > 0:22:16That's not too bad. It was that quick.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18That's not too bad. It could be worse.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Oh, dear. A loss of ?98 for the Blues,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26which means the Reds are the runaway winners
0:22:26 > 0:22:29with their whopping profit of ?237.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Let's meet our new lots of Reds and Blues.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38For the Reds, we've got sisters Patricia and Sally. Welcome.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40And for the Blues, we've got, erm...
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Fay, who's a standard lamp, and Chris, who's a long-case clock.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48And I'll be talking to you later about what you're wearing.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52But for the Reds, we're in safe hands with you two girls, aren't we?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56You certainly are. Why's that? We're both registered nurses.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Jolly good.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01So if I'm going to have a collapse, today's my day to do it. Brilliant.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Sally, have you always been a nurse? No. I trained as a nurse
0:23:04 > 0:23:07and then I was sharing a flat in Guildford with a stewardess
0:23:07 > 0:23:11and she used to come home in her little sports car
0:23:11 > 0:23:13and she'd have a tan
0:23:13 > 0:23:15and lots of money, couldn't close her purse,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and I would struggle in after a ten-hour shift on the ward
0:23:18 > 0:23:22and they were recruiting, so I went for it and got it
0:23:22 > 0:23:24and I flew for 13 years.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Now for the Blues.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Or should I say, the black and tans?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Hi. Fay. What are you doing here, eh?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35We love fancy dress. Do you really?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37We thought we'd have a Bargain Hunt theme day.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39So, how do you know each other?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41We work together in Brighton in a pub.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Chris is a chef and I do the drinks. Chris, you're fond of collectables.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Any particular type? Yes, that is true.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Me and Fay have brought along our lovely teapot.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52It's one of four. It's not a massive collection.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55It is beautiful and hideous.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59And who's it by? Tony Woods. You probably haven't heard of him.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I hope he's not watching because I don't want to offend him. No.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05We got this one because it looks a little bit like Pat Butcher.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Actually, funnily enough, you're not far wrong.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Almost as extraordinary as the ?300 moment.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Here's your ?300. You know the rules, your experts await
0:24:16 > 0:24:19and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26What do you think, guys, about this stall?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27There are some lovely things here.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31I have to say, something is standing out quite strongly.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34The plate would be really lovely. No, no.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38One, two, three. Unusual. Absolutely. No, I agree. Unusual.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Kate, what metal is that? Is that silver or brass or...? Let's see.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46We've got a set of three. Now, this is bronze
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and I'm pretty sure this is silver.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I've got some marks on mine. I don't know if yours...? Yes, yes.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54We've got some numbers. 925.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57That tells you that that's sterling standard silver,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01And we've got various symbols, by the look of things.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02I've got a maze. I've got an owl.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05There's some sort of god and a dolphin here.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07That's right. And they do look Greek.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10They do. Now, if you can see,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13next to the numbers, there's a name stamped. Yes.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I think it's on all of them. Oh, gosh, yes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Now, that reads Lalaounis.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19It's the jeweller, actually. Jeweller.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Lalaounis had a shop in Sloane Street in London
0:25:23 > 0:25:26And they were Greek jewellers
0:25:26 > 0:25:30and I think these symbols here may refer to Greek legends.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32They're certainly very Greek-looking symbols.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35But I haven't got a price on mine. Have you? It's underneath my one
0:25:35 > 0:25:39and it's ?75. Right.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43With these, the name is actually going to really help to sell them
0:25:43 > 0:25:46because people who know the jeweller will home in on these.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50So I think we should have a chat. Have a go. Yes. Sally? Me?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I love them. I love them.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Not quite "la-la, Patricia," the Reds knocked off a tenner
0:25:56 > 0:25:58and picked up the dishes for 65.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04Now, over to one of my favourite Teletubbies. Only joking, Tom.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06These are First World War medals.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09And what's nice about First World War medals for a researcher
0:26:09 > 0:26:13is that every medal has the name it was awarded to.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17So on here we've got Lance Corporal GF Booth,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Royal Lancashire Regiment.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Does this help the item sell? It really does.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25You could go to the War Office in the records
0:26:25 > 0:26:27and find out more about him. Yeah.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So we have the '14-'15 Star,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31and means that this man wasn't a conscript.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33He joined early in the war.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37The British War Medal and the Victory Medal.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Do you like them? Yes, I do like them.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It's a sobering thought but they're lovely things.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47What do you think they'd make at auction? Between ?80 and ?120.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Yeah. Sounds good. Shall we ask the gentleman? I think we should.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54How much have you got them on for? 90, but I'll do 75.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56How does that grab you? Sounds reasonable.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Perfect. Thank you. Shall we do the deal?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02I don't get them very often. You're very kind.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Kate and Sally,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I've just looked on a stall where we got those plates from
0:27:11 > 0:27:13but I don't know if it's old or worth anything.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Well, let's have a closer look, Pat.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20What we've got here is cast metal with this lovely gilt finish.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23And it's what's known as the rococo style.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I'm sure you've heard of rococo-style things.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30The dial is enamelled and in lovely condition
0:27:30 > 0:27:32because you often get damage to the enamel or cracking.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37But it also makes me slightly curious as to the age
0:27:37 > 0:27:39because it's just in such nice condition.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Let's look at the price.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Yes. Is that too much? ?145. You do pick them, don't you?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Any profit, at all? Well, I have to say, at auction,
0:27:49 > 0:27:53particularly in the auction we're going to, where there'll be
0:27:53 > 0:27:55a lot of works of art, this will sit very well
0:27:55 > 0:27:59and I would estimate it at probably between ?100 and ?150.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Right. So I think if we can just ask the stallholder
0:28:03 > 0:28:06if she can do a better deal for us, we've got a good chance.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08I would buy it. And I would.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Well, that's a really good start, isn't it? Wonderful.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16The Reds had a big hand in haggling the price down to ?100.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Now, what's the time, Mr Wolf?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Yeah, I like him. Lovely-jubbly.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23What do you think of this? What have you found?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Erm, it looks like a wolf. A wolf? A wolf.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Yeah, the big bad wolf. He's got a cape, there it is.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33He's a Pelham Puppet. Oh, a Pelham Puppet. Yeah, Pelham Puppet, 1963.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36He's nice. Really strong colours. Yeah, I like it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Does he have a box? It has and it looks in good condition.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43That's a good sign. It doesn't look like it's been played with much.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47I don't think there's any damage. Good, nice gnarly face there.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51The price is evident, ?48. Have you had a chat with the stallholder?
0:28:51 > 0:28:56Yeah. We think we can get it down maybe to 35, if we can push them.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Do you think that's room for any profit? Absolutely.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02I mean, I sell Pelham Puppets for between ?30 and ?50.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06I can't see you doing too wrong with that... OK. ..at 35 quid.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08OK. What do you think? I think he's good. Let's go for him.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10He's cute, let's get him. Well done.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15True to his word, the dealer let Chris have our wolfie for ?35.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18You've found this in the nick of time, Sally, cos they're packing up.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23We did leave it rather late but I saw it and I adore silver.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Someone could use it for cufflinks, you could buy it for a present.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Originally, it was made as a cigarette box
0:29:30 > 0:29:33and if we open it up,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35it's wooden-lined, cedar-lined, probably,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37to keep the tobacco fresh.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41But it would be good as a trinket box for jewellery or cufflinks,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44which makes it still commercial at auction today.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46And it's got that lovely little crest there
0:29:46 > 0:29:49but otherwise, perfectly plain and that's a good thing,
0:29:49 > 0:29:54because the purchaser could then get it engraved if they wished...
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Yes. And we've got nice, clear
0:29:56 > 0:29:58hallmarks here, which collectors always like.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Clearly marked there for Birmingham and the date 1907...
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Over 100... ..so it's over 100 years old.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09We've got a bit of a bad dent just there on the corner
0:30:09 > 0:30:14and that can't be repaired very easily because of the wooden lining.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15You can't get at it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Has it got a price on it? Oh, here we go.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Now, 55. What do you think about that? I think it's a good price
0:30:22 > 0:30:26but if we can get it as down as we can, we might get a profit.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Yeah. Well, if it was in perfect condition,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31then I would say about ?50 would be fine.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34But it has got that dent and a wee bit of dimpling on the top.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37I think that could put a few people off,
0:30:37 > 0:30:41so the lower we can get it the better. OK. I agree. Yeah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46?35 is what it took to secure the silver cigarette box.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50What have you got there, Fay? A ball inside a ball inside a ball.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53You like that, do you? Mm-hm. What do you like about it?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I don't know. It's really amazing. It's really intricate.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Well, you might not like this.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03But these are made out of ivory, so it's a tusk that has been carved.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07We can't sell it unless it's carved before or made before 1947.
0:31:07 > 0:31:13This item looks to me like it was carved in the pre-war period,
0:31:13 > 0:31:14in probably the 1920s.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18And it's carved out of one piece of ivory.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21So they carve the first ball and then carve the second ball in it?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Absolutely. All at once. It's amazing, isn't it? Yeah.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27How...? What...? How and why, I just can't tell you.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31The story is that the two dragons fought over a flaming pearl,
0:31:31 > 0:31:32which this is.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35The dragons are fighting over the flaming pearl
0:31:35 > 0:31:39and that's a very traditional Chinese story. How much is this one?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I think it was ?40.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44I think that ?40 isn't bad, but there's damage to it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48But it's still collectable? Yeah, it's still very collectable.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Fay, you spotted it. Why did you spot it?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I just thought it was really pretty.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Yeah? Yeah. Shall we get it?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Yeah. I think so. Go on, Fay.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Talk to the dealer? Haggling time. Come on, let's go.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Well, it's a treat to be at Bellmans auction house
0:32:07 > 0:32:11in Wisborough Green, West Sussex, with Jonathan Pratt. Good morning.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Good morning, Timothy.
0:32:12 > 0:32:18For the Reds, Patricia and Sally, first, it's this cigarette box.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Now, do you have a view about this? Well...
0:32:21 > 0:32:24cigarette boxes aren't the easiest things to sell.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28This one has seen better days. The top's quite polished out.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Well, there was a crest, there. Yeah.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34There is some scratching which might have been a crest once. Exactly.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37And then there's creases and dents. Creases.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40My estimate is ?25-?35.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42?35 paid. Yes.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Next up is this French-style little timepiece.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50Isn't it beautiful? Well, it's all in the eye of the beholder.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I don't mind these things if they're made of gilt bronze
0:32:53 > 0:32:54and it's got some material in it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56This is gilt something or other.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58It's a lead-based metal like spelter.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01What's your estimate? ?60-?80.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Well, that's not so kind.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07See, he likes it but he won't put the money on it. ?100, they paid.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Yeah. So I don't think that stands
0:33:09 > 0:33:12a snowflake's chance in the old proverbial
0:33:12 > 0:33:13of making a profit. Absolutely.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15That's my prediction. It's a problem.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18But I fancy not half as much a problem
0:33:18 > 0:33:21as these three little Greek saucers. I mean, what's going on here?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Well, they're stamped Lalaounis.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27A very well-known Greek jewellery designing firm
0:33:27 > 0:33:30who did silverwork as well. Oh, I'm sorry, well...
0:33:30 > 0:33:34They still retail in cities including London. I take it back.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37You've done your research. This is not a joke, then?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40You see jewellery stamped Lalaounis and it's still made.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42So what's your estimate? ?40-?60.
0:33:42 > 0:33:48?65 paid. So I see three problems lurching around these three objects
0:33:48 > 0:33:51and they're definitely going to need their bonus buy,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53so let's have a look at it and keep our legs crossed.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Now, I know that you love Art Deco. I do.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02So I've gone for some silver and some Art Deco for you.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04And what we have here is this lovely little timepiece
0:34:04 > 0:34:08in a Britannia silver frame here,
0:34:08 > 0:34:14engraved or engine-turned with this lovely Art Deco sunburst effect
0:34:14 > 0:34:17and it's ticking away and working nicely. It's gorgeous. It's lovely.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20I love it. Mm. Absolutely love it.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Dare I ask how much this is? Well, I didn't blow the lot.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26It was ?50. That's good.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Is it going to make a profit? Make a profit?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Well done, Patricia. I hope it will.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I mean, I would buy it for ?50 also,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35so I just hope there's somebody in the sale room
0:34:35 > 0:34:37who feels the same way. Yeah.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Well, you don't have to decide right now,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42but let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:42 > 0:34:44about the strut timepiece.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Stylistically, you're into the Deco style there.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50It's a nice touch. It's a nice little strut clock,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52could use it next to the bed.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55You could even take it if you're travelling.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59It is silver, isn't it? It's Britannia standard silver,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01so it's better quality.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Which they reserve for better-quality items.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Disappointing bezel there.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Yes, the bezel's all rubbed. You can see the yellow coming through.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Why have a plated bezel and a nice silver back? Quite.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15That's slightly bad, isn't it? But it's ticking away. Yes.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19How much? How much? I would say ?40-?60.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22?50 paid by Kate Bliss, so it stands a chance. I think so.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28They've got a whacky group here, look at this.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31So, First World War trio.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34With medals, it's always the soldier, the person,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36that can add to the value of them.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39This chap, I've looked up. A chap called Booth.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44He went in as a Lance Corporal and came out as a Private,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48so he got demoted by one rank for doing something silly, I suppose.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51That's quite interesting, isn't it? I mean, the mind boggles.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54How much do you think they're going to bring, Jonathan?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Er, I would say, really, ?30-?50.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Is that all? ?75, they paid. Mm.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Next up is the Pelham Puppet, which is great, in its box.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Yeah. And you've got old wolfie, there.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11I think he's a fun guy to play with, really. It's not an early one. No.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16Sadly. But the box is in reasonable condition, he's in great condition.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Anyway, it's all complete, it's in good nick.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21So how much for old wolfie, then? About ?30-?50.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24That's great. ?35 is all they paid, so that's great. Yeah.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Now, what about this piece of ivory?
0:36:27 > 0:36:32I mean, personally, I'm not a great fan of these sorts of things.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Yes. I...
0:36:33 > 0:36:37How many balls do you think there are there? Four or five? Inside?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Well, one's cracked, actually, sadly, inside.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Any sort of damage is not good news, is it? No, it isn't really.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Where's the value to this, then, broken? Realistically, ?20-?30.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49?40, they paid. So wolfie should be all right.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52The medals are not looking so good and the ivory's dodgy.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56They're going to need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Look at that!
0:37:00 > 0:37:01LAUGHTER
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Isn't it wonderful? It's amazing.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Isn't it great fun? Just to, you know, reflect that what you guys do,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09working as a waitress in a cocktail bar.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11You gave me ?150.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Don't tell me you spent ?150?
0:37:13 > 0:37:17And it was marked up at ?28
0:37:17 > 0:37:21and I had a figure in mind, and I bought it for 15. Oh!
0:37:21 > 0:37:23How old is it?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25It's 1960s, isn't it? Great fun. Yeah. Yeah.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31You don't have to decide right now, but for the benefit of the audience,
0:37:31 > 0:37:35here's what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's ice bucket.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39It's one way to keep the children away from the drinks cabinet.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40It certainly is.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Put you off alcohol for life.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Well, I think it's got the look. Yeah, it's a good novelty thing.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49A good novelty thing and if you want an ice bucket,
0:37:49 > 0:37:52how much would you pay, do you think, for a whacky one like that?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55My feeling is we'll get ?20-?30 for it.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57That's a relief to Tom, because he paid 15. OK.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02Anything over ?15, Jonathan Pratt, will be a result. Brilliant.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05It's a winner. Very, very, very good luck with that one.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10So, girls, how is it? It's been brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14Have you got any anticipation as to how you think you're going to do?
0:38:14 > 0:38:15We're going to do brilliantly.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18I think we're going to have a profit.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21First up is the cigarette box and here it comes.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26And who'll start me at ?20 for this? ?20 for the cigarette box.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30Oh, dear. ?20 is bid. Maiden bid of 20. ?20.
0:38:30 > 0:38:3225. 30?
0:38:32 > 0:38:3435. Excellent. And 40?
0:38:34 > 0:38:3835 seated right in the cap. At ?35. 40 anywhere else?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41?35 on the right and selling. Ooh, no!
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Last chance. ?35. GAVEL BANGS
0:38:44 > 0:38:47?35. Well done. That's not bad. Not bad. Wiped its face.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49No shame, no gain.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Now the timepiece.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54A French rococo-style gilt metal-mounted clock.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57A decorative lot, this. ?30 is bid.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00?30 is bid with me, at 30. 35 and 40.
0:39:00 > 0:39:0245 and 50. 55, please, the book now, at 55.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Do I see 60? ?55, then, standing right at 55. Oh, a bit more.
0:39:06 > 0:39:0960 anywhere else? At ?55, then, gentleman's bid. That's a bargain.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Last chance and selling. ?55...
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Oh, dear. Bad luck. Minus ?45. Never mind.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18That's very, very cheap. Be positive.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Here comes your three Greek dishes. Here they come.
0:39:21 > 0:39:27Lot 1494A, we have a set of three Greek metal dishes by Lalaounis.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32Lalaounis. In different poses. I've got bids to start me at...
0:39:32 > 0:39:35?15 is bid. I thought he was going to say 50.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38At ?15. Looking for 20, now.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40At ?15. 20, anywhere?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42At ?15. ?15 it is, then.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45And 20 and 5. Good, good, good.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49At ?25, still with me, then, at ?25. At ?25, I'll sell.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Last chance at ?25...
0:39:51 > 0:39:53GAVEL BANGS Oh, dear. ?25.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Minus 40 on that. You're minus ?85, girls.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01So what are you going to do? We're going for the bonus. Definitely.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05You're not even thinking about that, are you? No. It's a lovely piece.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Well, you're a couple of punters, you are.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11One auction virgin and a confirmed punter.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13We're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17A Britannia standard silver-case strut clock of Art Deco design
0:40:17 > 0:40:20and I have ?25 to start with.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Oh, good. And 30 and 5.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24And 40, clears the book now at ?40.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Do I see 5? ?40, gentleman standing right at ?40.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Any further bidding? Selling then for ?40. Last chance.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Selling at ?40.
