0:00:02 > 0:00:04# ..To be my girl

0:00:04 > 0:00:07# You don't have to be cool to rule... #

0:00:07 > 0:00:10Now, ladies, what are you doing?

0:00:10 > 0:00:12- BOTH: Getting ready, Tim. - What for?

0:00:12 > 0:00:14BOTH: You!

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Ooh! This can only mean one thing!

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Let's go bargain-hunting!

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Today, we're on Welsh soil,

0:00:46 > 0:00:50at the International Antiques And Collectors' Fair at Builth Wells.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Our teams are prepped and raring to go, so let's get on with it!

0:01:02 > 0:01:03And this is how it works.

0:01:03 > 0:01:08I give two teams £300, and an expert with a vast amount of knowledge

0:01:08 > 0:01:10and a keen eye for a bargain,

0:01:10 > 0:01:14an hour to go and rummage around and find three items,

0:01:14 > 0:01:16which they sell on later at auction,

0:01:16 > 0:01:19and if they make a profit, they get to keep it! How good's that?

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Today, we have two teams of sizzling sisters.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32We have daredevil Dawn, and her big sister, Jeanette, for the Blues.

0:01:32 > 0:01:37We have action-woman Marie, and her little sister, Claire, for the Reds.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Welcome, ladies! Now, Marie, what do you do for a job, darling?

0:01:41 > 0:01:42I'm a primary school teacher.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46You're also a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Tell us about that.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48I've got my own private pilot's licence,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51and I can take friends and family up -

0:01:51 > 0:01:55we go around the Pembrokeshire coastline, which is absolutely gorgeous,

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- and often been further afield, as well.- Have you?- Yes.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00What do you do, Claire?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03I'm a clerical officer and I work for the NHS.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05What do you collect?

0:02:05 > 0:02:08The only thing I collect is Portmeirion porcelain - the jugs.

0:02:08 > 0:02:13I visited Portmeirion about 15 years ago and it's such a magical place -

0:02:13 > 0:02:17- I fell in love with it -- Pretty stuff, isn't it?- They're nice.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Are you going to try and buy a bit on Bargain Hunt to make a profit?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- I might.- You might! - Yeah.- Very coy!

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Thank you very much. That's that two sisters, now this two sisters!

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Dawn, what do you do, darling?

0:02:28 > 0:02:32I'm communications manager for the North Wales NHS trust,

0:02:32 > 0:02:34- and I'm also a magistrate. - Oh, are you?

0:02:34 > 0:02:37You're also a bit of a thrill-seeker, though, aren't you?

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Yes, I suppose I am, really.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43For my 40th birthday, I did a skydive in Florida,

0:02:43 > 0:02:48and I've also done white-water rafting in the Rocky Mountains in Canada,

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Now, I should welcome your sister as...

0:02:51 > 0:02:56Madam Mayor Jeanette Chamberlain Jones.

0:02:56 > 0:02:57- Is that right?- That's right.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Shouldn't you actually be in red?

0:02:59 > 0:03:04Yes, as a Labour county councillor, I should be in red!

0:03:04 > 0:03:07You like to keep yourself busy with your own party business.

0:03:07 > 0:03:13Yes, I've had an events... party...events organising...

0:03:13 > 0:03:15organisation for ten years,

0:03:15 > 0:03:17and that's great fun.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20I know you're keen on collecting, but you had a burglary,

0:03:20 > 0:03:22didn't you? Which was a blow.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Yes, we had a break-in at the house,

0:03:24 > 0:03:30and all my Brambly Hedge figurines were taken,

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- and quite a lot of other things. - Oh, dear.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36And it's taken me quite a few years to purchase them back,

0:03:36 > 0:03:39as I see them at places like this.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yes, quite.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43But teddy bears is what I like most.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47You going to buy one for making a profit on the programme today?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50If I see a good teddy, I'll be in there like a shot.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53You're going to be good! It's the money moment.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Here's your £300. £300 apiece. You know the rules.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Your experts await, and off you go, and very, very good luck!

0:03:58 > 0:04:02As ever, each team has an expert to help and guide them.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Steering the Reds in the right direction

0:04:05 > 0:04:08is David Barby.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11And keeping a watchful eye over the Blues

0:04:11 > 0:04:14is Jonathan Pratt.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17And stone the crows - they'll have their work cut out

0:04:17 > 0:04:20as they help not one but two lots of teams today.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, look at this one, Marie.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30This is quite nice.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Oh, I don't recognise that,

0:04:33 > 0:04:36but I do like the shape of it. It's a really nice colour.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Hey!- It's got no cracks or... - That is stunning.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40- Do you know what it is?- No.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44It's a good example of pottery produced at the beginning

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- of the 20th century.- Right.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48It's got that unusual shape.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50It's not a thing that you would actually use,

0:04:50 > 0:04:52- but it's an object you'd look at and admire.- Yeah.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Now, if you look, it's got two layers of clay.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00A smooth one, and then where it's been almost chiselled out.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02And we call this sgraffito.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Now, if I turn it upside down, what do you see?

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- It's got "Baron"...- Mmm. - ..and then "Barnstaple".

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Baron was an employee of a company called Charles Brannam,

0:05:12 > 0:05:14based at Barnstaple,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17and he produced almost identical wares.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21In 1898, Baron moved away from the main company,

0:05:21 > 0:05:23and set up his own company.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25That is what you've got.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Now, what's the price?

0:05:26 > 0:05:28£120.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- I can see people paying that, but you'll have to negotiate.- Yes.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34£120 - you need to negotiate.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Yes.- The dealer's round there. Let's go have a word with him.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39- OK.- Thank you. - Keep your fingers crossed.

0:05:39 > 0:05:45Between the three of them, they negotiated the price down to £87.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53What are you up to you, ladies? I heard a vile din.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54It isn't the Proms, you know!

0:05:54 > 0:05:56- What have you got there? - A Stradivarius.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58A Stradivarius? Shall we have a look?

0:05:58 > 0:06:02In some respects, you're quite right. Stradivarius, it is.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05It's the shape that a lot of violins were based on.

0:06:05 > 0:06:0918th-century master of violin-making.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11From that point, people copied those designs.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12If you look inside,

0:06:12 > 0:06:15actually, it says, "Copie de Atonius Stradivarius."

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Does that mean that it is, or isn't? - It's a copy.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Oh, it's a copy.- A copy.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22But the condition of this is not too bad.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24There's no obvious damage to it,

0:06:24 > 0:06:28We've got a few bits missing, a broken string... Was that you?

0:06:28 > 0:06:31I managed to play it, though! I got a tune out of it.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34It's in a case. Let's have a look. You have in here, normally,

0:06:34 > 0:06:38spare strings and the replacement fittings there for the strings.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41And bows themselves are important, as well.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43They're made from a piece which is bowed,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46then they straighten it with the tension of the horsehair.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49And often there's a maker's stamp on the side, which,

0:06:49 > 0:06:52in this case, there isn't. You can see it's a bit tired.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54But again, can easily be tidied up.

0:06:54 > 0:06:55What are they asking?

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- There's no price ticket on it. - No price at all.- No.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01At auction, £20 to £30, I reckon, so if you can get it for less than 20,

0:07:01 > 0:07:04- we stand a chance that we can get some money.- OK.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Off you go.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- See what you can do.- OK.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Cor, those ladies are a force to be reckoned with!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14They paid a meagre £2. Ha!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20I thought you'd like it.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yeah. It's so different, isn't it?

0:07:22 > 0:07:24I've never seen anything like this.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27You've come back to this, have you? Now, what's the appeal?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I've never seen anything like it before.- You keep saying that!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32- BOTH: Yeah. - And Claire loves her dogs.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35So, what's the name of the breed?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'd say it's a terrier-type dog.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39- A Westie terrier...- A Westie.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- I'm not sure, yeah.- That's good, because if people have Westies,

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- or terriers, that'll have great appeal.- Yeah.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Look at the back, there's the standard mark,

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Clarice Cliff.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53I have not seen a Clarice Cliff dog mask before.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55So how old would you say this is?

0:07:55 > 0:07:56Well, I think it's late 1930s.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59It's good. What's the price?

0:07:59 > 0:08:01It is going for £225.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Dare I suggest you've got to get it half price?

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- OK.- Otherwise, we're not going to profit - forget it.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Judging the time - you haven't got much left.- No.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11- No.- OK?- OK.- Do your best.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13- We'll try.- Thank you.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16The Reds negotiated a brilliant discount,

0:08:16 > 0:08:20but the dog still cost them a massive £110.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Woof, woof! Oooh.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Oh, look at this!

0:08:26 > 0:08:29An umbrella stand in the shape of an umbrella.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- In a puddle!- It's horrible.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Great for our British weather, look.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Every home should have one.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Certainly, it's a stand in the shape of an umbrella,

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- with wirework painted black - a fun thing, really.- It's unique.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44And I would have it in my house, in the porch.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Yeah. It's fun, you can have walking sticks and stuff in there -

0:08:47 > 0:08:49it's got lots of space for it,

0:08:49 > 0:08:51and people will comment when they see it.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54It shows signs of having some age.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's been painted before, it's worn away.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58You've got brass finials around the top, bit of detail in it.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02I reckon we'd probably get about £30 for it at auction,

0:09:02 > 0:09:05because it's got a novelty value to it. What are they asking for it?

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- I think it was £49.- £49...

0:09:07 > 0:09:10£49?!

0:09:10 > 0:09:12- For that?!- Well, we've only bought one item so far,

0:09:12 > 0:09:16- and you like it.- I like it.- Well, let's see how much it is, then.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17Under £40 would be good.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Make sure we get it under 40.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Off you go, ladies, and see how you can do!- OK!

0:09:25 > 0:09:30Dawn didn't back down, and bought the brolly stand for £35.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Let me check.- What make?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Yeah, it's Royal Worcester.- That's what you were looking for, isn't it?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Yeah, it's really unusual, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- You've got it!- I have indeed!

0:09:40 > 0:09:44- At long last, you've found a piece of Worcester!- Yeah.- OK. - It's quite attractive.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Now, why did you go for this?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48It's quite an unusual shape.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50The pattern on it is... is rather nice.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's different to the other patterns I've seen.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- It's got four roses, not just the flowers.- That's right.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59It's all hand-painted, and it has a sort of full-blown rose

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- in the manner of an artist called Kitty Blake.- OK.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04So, you've got these wiped-out leaves

0:10:04 > 0:10:06which are very good.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09The only thing is, I couldn't see a signature.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Would a signature command a higher price, then?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14If it has a signature, if you had Kitty Blake on it,

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- £300, £400, if not more. - Really?- Yes.- Yes.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20But a signature does make a world of difference on Worcester.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22See all these symbols on the bottom?

0:10:22 > 0:10:23That's the pattern number, 307,

0:10:23 > 0:10:27and then you've got the batch and the kiln number underneath,

0:10:27 > 0:10:29and that's the standard mark for Worcester.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31It's a very, very good choice.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Now, just tell me, what's the price?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I think they're asking £85.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37I think you've got to get it down.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41The advantage is you're going to Malvern for the sale,

0:10:41 > 0:10:44which is close to Worcester, and you've got Worcester collectors.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- You stand a very good chance of selling at a profit... - That'd be good.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- ..providing you can get it down slightly on price.- Yes.

0:10:51 > 0:10:58Determined to buy some Royal Worcester, she struck a deal at £67.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05Well, what do you think this is, then? What is it?

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Well, I'm not 100% sure, to be honest, but I mean, I love this wood.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13It's a Victorian, walnut, extendable, expanding book stand.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15The ends come out so you can fit more books in.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Personally, I would put it on my desk and use it for files

0:11:19 > 0:11:21and my diary, and things like that.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23This shape on the end here,

0:11:23 > 0:11:26what would you say it looks like? What does it remind you of?

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Does that have a particular style? - Church.- Exactly.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30It's very Gothic, isn't it?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Exactly. Very much like a church.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35You've got this ebonised base at the bottom, typically...

0:11:35 > 0:11:39Funnily enough, it's a memento that comes in after Albert's death.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Helps you date it.- It reflected it. - Middle part of the Victorian period.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46The nice thing is you've got a maker's name there.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49It says Mills & Son of Southsea.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52It's good quality. Walnut, brass mounting, a little name plaque -

0:11:52 > 0:11:54it gives it a bit more of an edge to it.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Go on then, you're convincing me now.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- How much are they asking?- 65, I think, is on the ticket.- 65, OK.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02I think, probably, at auction, we'd put them in at £40 to £60,

0:12:02 > 0:12:05so if we get around the £40 mark, that'd be fair.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07- All right.- Have a go?- Yeah.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09That Jeanette took some persuading!

0:12:09 > 0:12:11£40 paid.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13It's not long, 60 minutes, you know.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Our teams have been out there foraging for their finds,

0:12:16 > 0:12:19but right now they're clean out of time.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Both Marie and Claire were really taken by the green jug.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29It set them back £87.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Claire is barking mad about dogs,

0:12:33 > 0:12:37so just had to have this Clarice Cliff wall plaque,

0:12:37 > 0:12:40even though it cost them a stomping £110.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46The Reds made a tactical decision buying the Royal Worcester vase,

0:12:46 > 0:12:48which should do well,

0:12:48 > 0:12:54considering they'll be selling it in that neck of the woods. £67 paid.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59Now, you naughty girls, did you enjoy your shopping?

0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Yes, very much so.- Thoroughly.- Which is your favourite piece, Claire?

0:13:03 > 0:13:07- The Barnstaple pottery, it's a green jug.- My home town.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Very good. What about you, Marie?

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- I like the Royal Worcester.- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:13:13 > 0:13:17I think, maybe, the Clarice Cliff.

0:13:17 > 0:13:22- OK.- But the Barnstaple piece of pottery, that's quite unique.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- You've got high hopes for it? - It would be nice, yes.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Oh, lovely. Anyway, you spend £264, which is great!- Yes!

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- That means only £36 of leftover lolly.- There you are.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35£36 of leftover lolly goes to David Barby. Not so much, David.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Shine a light! It's not, is it?- No.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40- No.- Yeah, but you're very skilled at this.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42What, £36? What can it bring me?

0:13:42 > 0:13:47I don't know. A lot of pleasure, I hope, spending it!

0:13:47 > 0:13:48I shall do my very best.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56The tuneful Blues were in harmony over the violin and negotiated

0:13:56 > 0:13:59a cracking deal at only £2.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04But the umbrella stand caused a few problems.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Jeanette hated it and Dawn loved it.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12Eventually, Jeanette gave in, but only because Dawn got it for £35.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17And, once again, Jeanette took a bit of convincing,

0:14:17 > 0:14:19or was it Dawn that got her own way?

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Either way, they spent £40 on the book rack.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27- So, you two, did you have fun? - Great fun, yes! Brilliant.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Which is your favourite piece? - The violin.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Your old fiddle!- The old fiddle. - Do you agree with that, Dawn patrol?

0:14:34 > 0:14:36No, I liked the umbrella stand.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40I thought it was quirky, practical and I could see that in my porch.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45Well, that's a very good reason for buying it. Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Definitely the violin! - The violin, yes?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's got to be the bargain of the century, the violin!

0:14:50 > 0:14:54I cannot understand how you've got away with only spending £77.

0:14:54 > 0:14:59Anyway, £223 worth of leftover lolly. There we go, look!

0:14:59 > 0:15:03- What have you got in mind, then, JP? - I don't want to give too much away.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07- But you've got some inspiration? - I'm inspired, yes, absolutely.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Inspired. Well, thus expiring, do foretell of him!

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Off you go. Have a good time!

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Well, we've come all the way to Malvern,

0:15:21 > 0:15:23to Malvern's leading sale room.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Malvern's ONLY sale room!- Oh, right! Thank you very much, Philip!

0:15:26 > 0:15:31- With Philip Serrell, a legend. How are you?- Tim, good to see you.- Very nice to be here.- Good to have you.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Claire and Marie, their first item

0:15:34 > 0:15:37is this Barum-ware piece of pottery.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- A bit of fun, isn't it?- It is.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42It's one of those lots, 20 years ago you'd have walked past.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Yeah.- What did they pay for it, Tim?

0:15:44 > 0:15:47They paid £87.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49I think it's probably going to make £50 to £80.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54Next up for them is this Clarice Cliff plaque.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57A wirehaired terrier, Scottie dog, whatever it might be.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Well, Clarice Cliff is the name, isn't it?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Not sort of typical of her work.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04What's your estimate on the Clarice Cliff?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07£60 to £90, perhaps a bit mean. I think it'll do all right.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10They paid 110. I bet you're confident about this Worcester pot.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12There's no better place for selling Worcester than this place.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Well, that's kind. That's a Royal Worcester vase

0:16:14 > 0:16:18made in 1919, from the date code on the bottom.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21It's also got on the bottom "H307".

0:16:21 > 0:16:22The 307 is the shape number.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25The H refers to the fact that it came from the Hadley factory,

0:16:25 > 0:16:29And I think that £50 to £80 is probably the mark for that.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32- £67 they paid. We live in hope. - We live in hope.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36In case hope doesn't spring eternal, we've always got

0:16:36 > 0:16:40the opportunity of the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it!

0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Are you ready for it? - Come on, David.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Oh!- Oh!- Oh?- Interesting.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Well, this is an Arts and Crafts -

0:16:48 > 0:16:51that's the beginning of the 20th century - hall lantern.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56What's missing is a sort of parchment interior here.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59But the electric light connection can go through the top.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- And it's solid copper, isn't it? - Oh, solid copper, yeah.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Could have had a glass shade inside, do you think?

0:17:05 > 0:17:08There's some little connections here that you would probably

0:17:08 > 0:17:11slip something into, but to get glass up there would be difficult.

0:17:11 > 0:17:16- There is a question that you need to ask him, Marie.- Yes, there is. - How much did I pay for it?

0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Yes.- £30, that's all.- Oh!

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Oh!- £30 for solid copper!

0:17:21 > 0:17:23And it's quite distinctive.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26It is, actually. And it is, I must say, growing on me.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- She wants to grab it back! - Yes!- Well, there you go.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33You don't have to decide right now, girls. But for the audience at home,

0:17:33 > 0:17:37let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's lamp.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Well, nicely made, isn't it? - I think it's quite sweet

0:17:40 > 0:17:44- and it's functional. Someone can use it.- What do you think it's worth?

0:17:44 > 0:17:49- £20 to £40.- Barby paid £30. - He's all right.- So he stands a good chance of making a profit.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51That's a charming thing.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues, Dawn and Jeanette,

0:17:55 > 0:17:56the violin and bow.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Goodness me!- If I gave you a pound for every violin you'd ever seen

0:18:00 > 0:18:03that said Stradivarius in it,

0:18:03 > 0:18:06- you'd be a rich man! - Yeah, a lot of them around.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07What will it bring in the auction?

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- I think it'll make between £15 and £30.- Do you, really?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- What did you pay? - They paid £2 for it.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15- That is profit, isn't it? - That is profit.

0:18:15 > 0:18:20Moving on neatly to the umbrella stand. It's a bit of fun, isn't it?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22It is. I can see somebody paying £20 to £40 for that.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Great. £35 they paid.- That's OK.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Lastly, they've got their book slide.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- I like that.- I thought you would. Why do you like it so much?

0:18:30 > 0:18:33There's a great bit of burr walnut in there.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37It's got a maker's mark on it. But the thing with it is, a little bit,

0:18:37 > 0:18:40- it's yesterday's antiques, isn't it? - Slightly.- What have we put on that?

0:18:40 > 0:18:44£30 to £50? You know, three years ago, you'd have been paying...

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- £120 for it every day, wouldn't you? - Yeah, absolutely right.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49At least they paid the right money. £40 is not too bad.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53- We're in with a shout.- I would say, fairly confidently, that this team

0:18:53 > 0:18:55are going to be OK today,

0:18:55 > 0:18:58but just in case, we'd better go and have a look at their bonus buy.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Da-da!

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Oh...a mushroom!

0:19:05 > 0:19:08£35 I paid for them. A pair of miniature staddle stones.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11I thought they were quite sweet and quite charming.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14This is a miniature of the little sort of mushrooms

0:19:14 > 0:19:17that old grain barns used to stand on in farms.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Make a nice garden ornament.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21It's the sort of thing that people buy for the garden.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23They look very old. Are they?

0:19:23 > 0:19:26No, they're quite new. But it doesn't matter about that.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31- Do you think there's a profit in them, Jonathan?- You have got a pair.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33£35 for the pair. Is there a profit in it?

0:19:33 > 0:19:36It's whether two private clients are really interested in them.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38So, there we have it. Girls, you don't decide right now,

0:19:38 > 0:19:43but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's magic mushrooms!

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Reconstituted.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Does that mean concrete?- Well, yes.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51So, concrete covered in a bit of green slime.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53I would think they're going to make between £15 and £30.

0:19:53 > 0:19:58£35 Jonathan paid for those, and he's really expecting a big profit.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59Anyway, good luck, Phil!

0:20:05 > 0:20:09- So, girls, are you excited?- Very much. Yes. Looking forward to it.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12- How excited are you on a scale of 1 to 10?- 10! This is brilliant!

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- The same for you, Claire?- Yeah.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- What about you, David? - Oh, yes, absolutely!

0:20:17 > 0:20:19You're such an old hand, though.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22First up is the Barum ware jug vase, and here it comes.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Lot number 266.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Barum Barnstable art nouveau pottery jug. There you are.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33Bid me for that, someone. Start me off. £50 to start me. 50?

0:20:33 > 0:20:35£20, someone, quickly. £20?

0:20:35 > 0:20:4020 I'm bid at the back, at 20. £20 bid. At 20. Who's got five?

0:20:40 > 0:20:44At 20. 20 bid. And five. 25. 25.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45You're looking the wrong way.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48At 25 bid. At £25 only. At 30?

0:20:48 > 0:20:5230 bid. And five now. One more?

0:20:52 > 0:20:55At £30 at the back. At 30. 30 bid.

0:20:55 > 0:20:56- At £30 only.- Oh, dear.

0:20:56 > 0:21:02Is there any more at all? At £30 and I sell then at 30 and done.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03£30!

0:21:03 > 0:21:05That's minus £57.

0:21:05 > 0:21:10Lot number 267 is the Clarice Cliff pottery wall plaque.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12And I'm bid for that. £50. Bid at 50.

0:21:12 > 0:21:1550 bid. At 50. 60. 70. 70 bid.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28At £120. You're out.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32At £120, commission bid. At £120.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35And I sell then at £120 and done. Thank you.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Well, that's great! 120 is plus £10.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41It's the Royal Worcester vase.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44As you see it catalogued, the Royal Worcester vase.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47I'm bid £40 for that. 50. 50 bid.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50At 50. 60. 70. 80 with me here.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00At £80 only. At £80 and I'll sell them at £80 and done.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03£80. You are £13 up on the...

0:22:03 > 0:22:05You are minus £34, OK?

0:22:05 > 0:22:06- Minus £34.- It's been worse.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09There's no shame in that, no shame in that. Two profits you've made.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12What are you going to do about the bonus buy?

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- We're going to have a go.- Go for it.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16- We like it.- Have a go. - It's something different.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19We're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.

0:22:19 > 0:22:24Lot number 272 is this rather nice Arts & Crafts lantern.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Bid me for that. £20 to start straight in.

0:22:26 > 0:22:2920. Who's got a tenner? Quickly.

0:22:29 > 0:22:3310 I'm bid. At 10. 10 bid. £10. £10.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34At 15.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36At 15. One more?

0:22:36 > 0:22:4020 there. At 20. 20 bid. Five? 25.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41One more, sir?

0:22:41 > 0:22:4530 now? The bid is right at the back at £25.

0:22:45 > 0:22:4630 is it, sir?

0:22:46 > 0:22:4930. 30 bid. At £30.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50Go again! Go again!

0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Come on! Just a bit more. - Is there any more at all?

0:22:53 > 0:22:57At £30 seated and I sell then at 30 and done.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01No shame in that, £30. Wiped the slate clean. Wiped it's face.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03What's the problem? No profit, no loss. That's OK.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05- No, that's fine.- £30 paid. That's all right, isn't it?

0:23:05 > 0:23:10Overall, we therefore have minus £34 is your score, OK?

0:23:10 > 0:23:14- That could very easily be a winning score.- Not too bad.- Don't despair.

0:23:14 > 0:23:19- You're not going home with cash, but don't tell the Blues a thing, OK? - No.- No.- Keep this quiet.- I promise.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Keep it between us, the family!

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Do you know how the Reds got on?

0:23:36 > 0:23:38- No.- You've got no idea?

0:23:38 > 0:23:41- No idea.- We don't want you to. - Locked in a cupboard.- No, no. Quite.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44What about that violin, then? Are we rating that violin, Jeanette?

0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Oh, it's a bargain. - You found it for £2.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50His estimate is £15 to £30, which is brilliant.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52It's the first lot up, and here it comes!

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Lot number 288, the violin.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00Put it in, someone. £20 to get it gone. Quickly. £20.

0:24:00 > 0:24:05Surely? 20 I'm bid, thank you. At £20 only. At 20. 20 bid.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07At £20 only for the violin.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10At 20. Is there any more?

0:24:10 > 0:24:11At £20, be quick.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14At £20. All done at 20. And done!

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Well done, girls!

0:24:16 > 0:24:19£20 is £18 profit. Super duper.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Now the wrought iron umbrella stand.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Bid me for that lot. £20 to start me.

0:24:24 > 0:24:2820? Wherever you like. £10 to go, someone. Quickly.

0:24:28 > 0:24:3210 I'm bid. 10. 15. 20. 5?

0:24:32 > 0:24:3425 behind you with the glasses.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37At 25. The lady's bid. Can we have one more? Go on.

0:24:37 > 0:24:4130. 30 bid. One more, madam? 30 bid.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43- At 30. At £30 only. At 30.- Oh, dear.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Is there any more? - Dawn?- At £30, then.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48And I sell then at 30 and done.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51£30 sold. You've just lost £5.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Lot 290 is the book slide.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56And I have two bids on the book.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58- I start at £70 only.- 70!

0:24:58 > 0:25:0070!

0:25:00 > 0:25:02At 70. 80 may I, anywhere?

0:25:02 > 0:25:05At £70, only. Short and sweet.

0:25:05 > 0:25:10At £70 it's had its time and done then at 70. And done, thank you.

0:25:10 > 0:25:1370! Thank YOU! Look at that!

0:25:13 > 0:25:18You made £30 on that. Plus £30, plus your 13, is you are plus 43.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22You have £43 profit. What are you going to do about this bonus buy? Go with the bonus buy?

0:25:22 > 0:25:25BOTH: No way!

0:25:25 > 0:25:30Bad luck, Jonathan! We're not going with the bonus buy. But why don't we sell them anyway? Here they come.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34294, the miniature concrete staddle stones. Bid me for those.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Concrete staddle stones. Put them in the bidding, someone.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Put them in, I don't know... Give me £40 for them.

0:25:40 > 0:25:4220?

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Oh, Lord. £10. 10 I'm bid.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47At £10 for the staddle stones.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49At 10 I'm only bid. 10. 10 bid. £10.

0:25:49 > 0:25:5215. 15. 20, sir?

0:25:52 > 0:25:5420. 20 bid. 5 now? At £20.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56It could surprise us, yet.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57At £20, only. At 20. Any more?

0:25:57 > 0:26:00At £20, the gentleman's bid.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02And done then at 20.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Well, he sold them for £20. That is minus £15.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07- We knew there was no way.- Minus £15,

0:26:07 > 0:26:10but it doesn't apply because you didn't go with it. You have £43

0:26:10 > 0:26:14which will be coming into your hot little pocket in a minute.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Meanwhile, don't say a word to the Reds.- No.

0:26:20 > 0:26:25So it's a blistering win for the Blues running up a profit of £43.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28Remember - the Reds made a loss of -34.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32Coming up, two more teams go bargain-hunting,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35but first I'm off somewhere grand.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39Capesthorne Hall, just outside Macclesfield in Cheshire,

0:26:39 > 0:26:43is a stunning, partly 18th-century mansion house

0:26:43 > 0:26:45set in a 5,000-acre estate.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49But it's not just the grounds which are super-sized.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Just look at the scale of this building!

0:26:51 > 0:26:58To put it in context, if you took 45 three-bedroomed modern houses,

0:26:58 > 0:27:01they would fit inside Capesthorne Hall.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Now, that's an interesting fact, innit?

0:27:10 > 0:27:14But what's it got to do with Capesthorne, I hear you ask.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Well, traditionally in a house,

0:27:16 > 0:27:20a boxroom is the smallest room in which you have stored

0:27:20 > 0:27:25all those irritating things that you can't find a home for elsewhere.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30But here at Capesthorne, the boxroom isn't called the boxroom because of its small size,

0:27:30 > 0:27:36it's called the boxroom because of what it's got stored in it, innit?

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Just look at this!

0:27:38 > 0:27:42The boxroom full of boxes!

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Boxes which have survived through the various generations

0:27:45 > 0:27:47of the family that have lived here

0:27:47 > 0:27:49and have simply not been thrown away.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53Look at this fellow! It looks a bit like a Second World War bomb.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56That's because it's got a Japan tin cover.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59If you look at the brass plaque on the top, it says,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02"WH Bromley Davenport, Grenadier Guards,"

0:28:02 > 0:28:05the current owner Bill's father.

0:28:05 > 0:28:11And if I open it up, you can see, beautifully preserved inside,

0:28:11 > 0:28:13his bearskin hat.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15What a wonderful thing that is!

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Next door, something completely different.

0:28:17 > 0:28:22A nice inlaid rosewood square box, containing...

0:28:22 > 0:28:28Look at that! An unusual early form of mechanical music.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30This thing is called a polython.

0:28:30 > 0:28:35This is the equivalent of your record except, being made of tin,

0:28:35 > 0:28:40this is pierced with little holes and each of those little holes

0:28:40 > 0:28:43when it revolves over this bar,

0:28:43 > 0:28:47which is connected to the little teeth, will produce a note.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50POLYTHON PLAYS MELODY OF "ABIDE WITH ME"

0:28:50 > 0:28:54TIM SINGS ALONG TO THE TUNE

0:28:54 > 0:28:58# ..La, la-dah, dee, da-dah Da-dah, with me. #

0:28:58 > 0:29:00That's fun, isn't it?

0:29:00 > 0:29:03Here we've got boxes which contained stationery.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Boxes which take letters.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10And this rather amusing and beautifully made box.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Open the hinged front and, sure enough,

0:29:13 > 0:29:16it's an apothecary's cabinet,

0:29:16 > 0:29:22Here we've got a variety of drugs contained in these little bottles,

0:29:22 > 0:29:25and in this one... Look at that.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28That's laudanum.

0:29:28 > 0:29:33This is a most popular Victorian opiate, derived from the poppy,

0:29:33 > 0:29:37taken to ease all sorts of pains.

0:29:37 > 0:29:43And strictly very, very addictive. So we'll put that back in its box!

0:29:43 > 0:29:44The big question is today,

0:29:44 > 0:29:49of course, are our teams going to box clever over at the auction?

0:29:49 > 0:29:54But our next lot of Reds and Blues are ready to enter the arena.

0:29:54 > 0:29:58But will this bunch of gastronomes find some tasty bargains?

0:29:58 > 0:30:04For the Reds, we've got dinner lady Judith and her fruit and veg husband

0:30:04 > 0:30:13Philip and for the Blues we've got top chef Harry and his wife, Katie the cake decorator. How about that?

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Now, Judith, how long were you dinner lady for?

0:30:16 > 0:30:1813 wonderful years.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21What sort of things do you like collecting?

0:30:21 > 0:30:25I collect teddy bears but I also collect paperweights

0:30:25 > 0:30:32- and crystals and teapots but I've gone off them, because I don't really drink tea.- Don't drink tea.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34- No.- What do you have, Scotch?

0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Maybe.- Maybe.- Maybe.- Brilliant.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38You're also a very keen traveller.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42- I love travelling.- Yes.- Yes, we've been to Florida this year.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44I've also been to Holland and China

0:30:44 > 0:30:46You've got an interesting nickname, tell us.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Yes, Bananas.- Bananas.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Bananas. Because I used to work for a firm selling fruit and veg.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56- What do you collect then? - I collect pocket watches and medals.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58It says here you've got 70 or 80 pocket watches.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01- 70 or 80 pocket watches.- So you're an expert pocket watch collector.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04I won't say expert but I know a bit about them.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08- And did you have a good time in China too?- Excellent. Marvellous.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11- What was the best bit of China? - Bartering with the stall holders.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Right.- Because you don't pay the proper price in China for anything.

0:31:15 > 0:31:20- You're going to rather enjoy bargain hunting today.- Yes, I am.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22Very good luck. Now for the Blues.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25Katie, or should I call you Cakie?

0:31:25 > 0:31:29Because you're not just any ordinary cake decorator, are you?

0:31:29 > 0:31:31You're a champion cake decorator.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33Yes, I have won some awards.

0:31:33 > 0:31:39Well, I'd like to reveal a little something that Cakie has made for us.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Now, Katie, you're not taking the mickey here at all, are you?

0:31:43 > 0:31:47- No, I'm not. It's a present for you, Tim.- Oh, isn't that lovely!

0:31:47 > 0:31:50Let's go bargain hunting.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54That is so lovely and you've even got a lot number on my hat.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58- I think you'll find it's a £20 note. - Cheeky one, honestly.

0:31:58 > 0:32:05- Harry, what are you looking forward to most out of today's programme? - Spending somebody else's money.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Ah, is that what is going to get you going?

0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Yes.- You're a bit of dab hand in the kitchen too.

0:32:10 > 0:32:16- 52 years...- In the catering trade. - Really? As what?

0:32:16 > 0:32:21When I retired at 55 I was the deputy catering manager of the Royal College of Nursing.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25Found out the pension wasn't enough so I had to go back to work

0:32:25 > 0:32:30and the last job I had was working for the South Wales Fire Service in one of their fire stations.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33As a cook? Oh, right. Anyway, this is the money moment,

0:32:33 > 0:32:39£300 apiece, £300 apiece, you know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Is this your choice?- Yes. - Philip, what do you think about it?

0:32:53 > 0:32:57I like it. I like the decorative work around the edging of it.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00That is very good and that is the essential ingredient.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02It's what we term as a standish.

0:33:02 > 0:33:09In other words, you rest your pen across here, your pencils, and this rather like a curling stone,

0:33:09 > 0:33:14can you see that, you lift it up and there inside

0:33:14 > 0:33:20is the receptacle for ink and that is the original glass liner.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Rare do you find them with their original liners, they've always been replaced.

0:33:24 > 0:33:31- What I love is this brass inlay into what looks like a burr wood.- Yeah.

0:33:31 > 0:33:32Can you see that underneath there?

0:33:32 > 0:33:37And when this is all polished up it would look absolutely stunning.

0:33:37 > 0:33:43Maybe central European, possibly France, but it would have been on a desk of an important gentleman.

0:33:43 > 0:33:48When I look at this, I think in terms of the secessionist movement.

0:33:48 > 0:33:54This is where a group of people from Vienna decided they'd rather tired

0:33:54 > 0:33:59of the Art Nouveau movement which dominated European taste round about the turn of the century.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Mmm.- Do you want to go for it? - I think we will.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04- Yeah.- OK, and what's the price?

0:34:04 > 0:34:05120.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09- £120. That's a lot of money. - I'm sure we can get him down.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Well, you've got to get this well under £100.

0:34:12 > 0:34:17And it's your job to get the price reduced. OK, the dealer's over there.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20I think they call that passing the buck, David,

0:34:20 > 0:34:25but with Philip bagging the standish for £72.50 it's a good call.

0:34:25 > 0:34:30Oh, that's very sweet, isn't it? So tell me first of all why you picked it up?

0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Well, I'm guessing it's silver. - Yeah.- And enamelled...- Mmm-hmm.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35But I like it because it's little.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38I'll look underneath, I want to see if there's

0:34:38 > 0:34:41any silver marks on it, because that's a good tell-tale sign.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Yeah.- We've got these marks at the bottom here and we've got...

0:34:44 > 0:34:49Ah, it says "sterling, J Tostrup of Norway"

0:34:49 > 0:34:52It's not hallmarked as English standard but it says sterling

0:34:52 > 0:34:54which means it still carries the same purity.

0:34:54 > 0:35:00- OK.- A nice little round bowl and with this sort of cherry red enamel inside.

0:35:00 > 0:35:04- The important thing is the enamel's in really good condition. - It looked good to me.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07Would it be unusual to have enamelling on the inside like that?

0:35:07 > 0:35:09I don't think I've ever seen that.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13Well, if you look at it from here, what can you see?

0:35:13 > 0:35:17- The inside.- Yeah, so if you enamelled the outside it would be lost, wouldn't it?

0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Yeah, sure. - I mean, do you like it, Harry?

0:35:19 > 0:35:21I quite like it, yes.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24Well, don't tell him you like it too much.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26How much is he asking for it?

0:35:26 > 0:35:28He's asking 32.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30- £32.- Yeah.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33You know, it's a collector's item, 20th century, it's modern,

0:35:33 > 0:35:35- there are people who collect this sort of thing.- Yeah.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37- It may have some room in it. - Right.

0:35:37 > 0:35:41- It's up to you. - OK, I'll go and see him.

0:35:41 > 0:35:47Enamoured with the enamelled silver, Katie bowls the price down to £22.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51But what have Judith and Philip turned up for David to have a look at?

0:35:51 > 0:35:53You've held it long enough, what do you think of it?

0:35:53 > 0:35:58Well, we think it's very nice. We both like it but we don't really know what it is.

0:35:58 > 0:35:59I know it's treen...

0:35:59 > 0:36:03It's good, yes, anything to do with wood is called treen.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06This is a beautiful example, it's early 19th century

0:36:06 > 0:36:12and this would have been on a desk for wrapping parcels

0:36:12 > 0:36:14and then sealing it with a wax.

0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Oh.- So in here...

0:36:19 > 0:36:25..we've got the little bobbin that would have had cord round there...

0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Oh, right.- Then it would have passed through here.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31So you pulled the cord out through there.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Yeah, yeah. - So it's a little miniature samovar.

0:36:33 > 0:36:37- It's so tidy, because can you see that there?- Yes.

0:36:37 > 0:36:38- Do you see it?- Oh, yeah.

0:36:38 > 0:36:44- It's a blade. You see, you pull the string out and then cut it.- Well.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47- You can imagine it on that desk, with someone wrapping a parcel. - It's lovely.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Lighting the candle, melting the wax.- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55That's the original paper on the bottom so that would stop it scratching the surface.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58- It is quality, isn't it?- Yes.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00- I like it and we both liked it straightaway.- Oh, good.

0:37:00 > 0:37:04- What's the price? - Well, they're asking 95.

0:37:04 > 0:37:0695.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Well, I can see that in some posh shop,

0:37:08 > 0:37:10if not more, 120 plus,

0:37:10 > 0:37:14because this type of treen is rare.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18- I've never seen one like this before. Shall we have a go?- Yep.

0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Come on then. - We're off to see the wizard...

0:37:20 > 0:37:25Tying up the treen string dispenser for £80 means

0:37:25 > 0:37:31the Reds have £147.50 left for their last item.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Stop messing around, guys. What are you up to?

0:37:33 > 0:37:36- We're supposed to be looking for antiques.- No, we want this.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39- What about this then? - Well, OK, if you like.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41It's a good present.

0:37:41 > 0:37:47- We've got a Scalextric XR3i racing game, a bit of an '80s boy racer car, really.- Yes.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51The box is in shocking condition but it gives us the information that we need to know.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54This sort of thing really is a toy which

0:37:54 > 0:37:56the people who were playing with this in the '80s are now

0:37:56 > 0:38:01grown up and it's now their turn to buy it again.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04We need to see how much there is here, how complete it is.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06We've got to make sure we've got

0:38:06 > 0:38:08the other bits that go with it, the curves and stuff.

0:38:08 > 0:38:13We did ask the gentleman and he did say everything was all here and it does work.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15OK, what's he asking for it?

0:38:15 > 0:38:19- 40, he said.- £40 he said.- But... - But...- Sounds like quite a lot.

0:38:19 > 0:38:23What do you reckon it would fetch in the auction?

0:38:23 > 0:38:27- You've got to look at the spendable income of the average punter.- About 20 quid.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30- £20 would be fine, yeah. - Right, we'll ask.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32OK, go on then. Off you go.

0:38:35 > 0:38:40They did get it down to half price but will they drive away with a profit on their £20?

0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Phil, are you OK?- Yes, thank you. - What's with the walking stick?

0:38:46 > 0:38:49Well, it's not a walking stick, actually, it's my next buy, I hope.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51- What, this?- Yes. - What's so special about it?

0:38:51 > 0:38:56It's an instrument for measuring the height of horses.

0:38:56 > 0:38:57Right, OK, show me.

0:39:03 > 0:39:07You put it like that then measure the old grey mare like that.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Judith, that's rather unkind, isn't it?- It's not very nice, is it?

0:39:10 > 0:39:13No. This is so clever, isn't it?

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Look how it sinks back into the brass.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18That's brilliant. How old do you think it is?

0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Round the 1900s.- About 1900s.- Yeah.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Have you actually used these in your life?

0:39:23 > 0:39:25- I have used one, yes.- Really?

0:39:25 > 0:39:28Yes, I measured the wife just now and I've measured one before.

0:39:28 > 0:39:32- What, another wife?- No, a horse, I used to own a horse myself.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34- OK. Well, the cane is bamboo, OK.- Yeah.

0:39:34 > 0:39:39And if you look at it it's got some good indication of wear.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Now what's the price?

0:39:41 > 0:39:44- They're asking 95.- 95.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Seems a lot to me but you know the subject.

0:39:46 > 0:39:50I'm going to be guided by you, Phil. So how much would it go at auction in your opinion?

0:39:50 > 0:39:53Between 70 and 90.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55You've got to get a reduction on it to make a profit.

0:39:55 > 0:40:00- Yes.- Well, look, I know nothing about these, I know nothing about horses,

0:40:00 > 0:40:03in other words I'm going to negate my responsibility - go for it.

0:40:03 > 0:40:08I think it's an unusual object so we could stand a chance. Well done.

0:40:09 > 0:40:15Philip thinks he's found a bargain at £80 but the Blues seem to have lost their expert.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Do you want to check the inside, make sure it's all right?

0:40:19 > 0:40:22- Yeah, let's have a look. - Oh, hi, guys.

0:40:22 > 0:40:26Oh, crikey, I was just having a quick look at the inside there.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Well?- I spotted this box. What do you think of it?

0:40:29 > 0:40:31- We saw it, we quite like it. - Not too bad.

0:40:31 > 0:40:36Well, um, it's essentially a pitched pine tool box, 19th century.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40It's built for function so it did have originally some sort of

0:40:40 > 0:40:47- fittings inside, sort of slots which would have very likely had planes, saws, tools like that.- Right, OK.

0:40:47 > 0:40:53- And then a layer on top and then they build up on that so it's a carpenter's tool box.- Right.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Superb carrying handles on the side. - What about this here?

0:40:56 > 0:41:01Obviously, that's going to affect it a little bit, because wood seasons and it shrinks

0:41:01 > 0:41:04- and it shrinks with the grain. - Yeah.- So that the bit that goes.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07It doesn't shrink lengthways but widthways. That's the two bits coming apart.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11It's a nice sign because it just gives that little bit extra of showing the age.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14- This is all history, isn't it? - Yeah, exactly, yeah.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16- It's a lot of money.- Is it?- Yeah.

0:41:16 > 0:41:23- 110.- £110. I'd expect this probably at auction to get 60 to 80, £80, something like that.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25If you can get him down then that's really good.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29- OK, fine.- I'll go and ask him, shall I?- Go on then.- Girly charm.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Girly charm, go on, try your best.

0:41:33 > 0:41:39Katie's feminine wiles help the Blues carry the pine box away for only £50.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Cor, don't those 60 minutes just fly by?

0:41:45 > 0:41:49Let's remind ourselves of what delicacies the Red team have bought.

0:41:51 > 0:41:56Philip's bartering skills landed the secessionist inkwell for £72.50.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00David thinks the wooden string dispenser could bring a profit

0:42:00 > 0:42:03at £80, let's hope he's right.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07£80 also bought the bamboo horse measuring stick

0:42:07 > 0:42:11but will it gallop out of the auction or stall at the gate?

0:42:11 > 0:42:15- Did you have a good shop? - Wonderful, lovely day.

0:42:15 > 0:42:19- Oh, was it wonderful?- Yeah.- I love your Welsh accent, it's so dreamy.

0:42:19 > 0:42:23- Now tell me, which is your favourite piece, Ju-Ju?- I think the treen.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Phil?- The piece of treen. - The piece of treen.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- Again, the treen.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30- Would you agree with that?- Yes.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Very sensible to always agree, Phil, if you possibly can.- Yes.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38- Lovely.- £232.50 you spent, which is magnificent,

0:42:38 > 0:42:43£67.50 of leftover lolly goes to David Barby.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46- I'll need a hand to spend this. - I don't think you will at all.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50You've never needed a hand and you've always clever with purchases.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54- Thank you for your faith. - Not at all. Oh, ye of little faith. Good luck.

0:42:54 > 0:42:58Let's have a reminder of what the Blues bought.

0:42:58 > 0:43:04The Blues think size should not reflect profit on their £22 enamelled silver bowl.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08They hope to leave the competition in the dust with the Scalextric set.

0:43:08 > 0:43:10And finally, at £50,

0:43:10 > 0:43:16will the pine tool box contain a profit rather than an expert?

0:43:16 > 0:43:19Katie and Harry, what a duo, eh?

0:43:19 > 0:43:23- Which is your favourite piece? - The little silver bowl.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26- What about you, Harry? - I agree, the silver bowl.- Great.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:43:28 > 0:43:33- Possibly the big box.- The big box? - Yes.- What do you think, Harry?

0:43:33 > 0:43:36- The silver bowl. - You're still obsessed with that, aren't you?- Yes.- Very good.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39- You only spent £92.- Yeah. - Which is very disappointing.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42- Sorry.- Anyway, £92, thank you very much,

0:43:42 > 0:43:47- I'll have £208 leftover lolly. - Excellent.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49- Have you got anything in mind though?- Maybe...

0:43:49 > 0:43:51I have, I have got something in mind.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53I can't think of anything to say...

0:43:53 > 0:43:58- No clues coming? - It might give it away.- Normally you're inspired with these clues.

0:43:58 > 0:44:00- Is it big and brown?- Well...

0:44:00 > 0:44:04- They'll have to watch back, I've given some clues.- OK, fine.

0:44:04 > 0:44:08- Oh, have you? - Yes! And they're all looking.

0:44:08 > 0:44:12You are a cunning monkey. Go on, off you go, Jonathan, and very good luck.

0:44:18 > 0:44:22I think we're going to have a brilliant day today,

0:44:22 > 0:44:25here in Malvern with Philip Serrell in your saleroom, Philip.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27- Morning, sir.- Thank you for having us.- A pleasure.

0:44:27 > 0:44:32Judith and Philip, their first item is this secessionist little inkwell.

0:44:32 > 0:44:37- Nice thing?- I quite like it. I don't know who their expert is, but that's got Barby written all over it.

0:44:37 > 0:44:41- Funnily enough, it's David Barby. - Well, there is a shock(!)- Yes.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44We've sold similar items through the saleroom in the past,

0:44:44 > 0:44:48we put £30 to £50 on it, and I think it'll do OK.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50£72.50 paid.

0:44:50 > 0:44:54The Regency cane-effect horse-measuring stick,

0:44:54 > 0:44:56now there is a beautiful thing, isn't it?

0:44:56 > 0:44:59- It's a good thing. - It's a wonderful thing to behold.

0:44:59 > 0:45:02Do you know, I did Bargain Hunt up in Harrogate three years back,

0:45:02 > 0:45:06and I bought one of those, and it made, I think, the thick end of £200.

0:45:06 > 0:45:09Well, these guys paid £80 for this, what's your estimate?

0:45:09 > 0:45:11- We put 50 to 80 on it.- You tease!

0:45:11 > 0:45:13Well, you know how it is, Tim!

0:45:13 > 0:45:19- If we can hit two stick collectors, they're home and hosed.- They are.

0:45:19 > 0:45:21Cos that could make £150, couldn't it?

0:45:21 > 0:45:23- Quite easily. - Good. Well, that's exciting.

0:45:23 > 0:45:27And what about this string dispenser?

0:45:27 > 0:45:28You love a bit of treen, don't you?

0:45:28 > 0:45:31It's just fun, isn't it? And you've got the original cutter,

0:45:31 > 0:45:35so you pull your string out and just cut it off, but, um, no, it's a sweet thing.

0:45:35 > 0:45:40- £80 paid.- £50 to £80. - So they might just get there.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43- It'll be a close call, but they'll be all right.- Doesn't really matter

0:45:43 > 0:45:48- if it's a close call, because they've always got the bonus buy to fall back on.- Yes.

0:45:48 > 0:45:49Let's have a look at it.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51Well...

0:45:51 > 0:45:54Oh...! We knew what that was straightaway!

0:45:54 > 0:45:58- Did you?- We did look at that. - Well, it's pointing at you now. - The hand of faith!

0:45:58 > 0:46:03This is a bronze-finish desk weight in the form of a hand.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05I paid £60 for it.

0:46:05 > 0:46:09I think we're probably going to be quite close to that figure.

0:46:09 > 0:46:11I do like it, it's different.

0:46:11 > 0:46:15Yes. As they used to say, I like it, but I wouldn't buy it.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17- No, I wouldn't buy it. - No, no, quite.- But I like it.

0:46:17 > 0:46:21Is this after Rodin, or is it after ET?

0:46:21 > 0:46:25- I think he's trying to phone home. - It's not a great look, is it?- No.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28- Yes.- It's meant to be bronze, but I think it's BRONZED,

0:46:28 > 0:46:31- with a "duh" on the end.- Which is a bit of a difference, isn't it?

0:46:31 > 0:46:35I mean for these bronze lookalikes, it's a question of resin

0:46:35 > 0:46:39and then they patinate it and shove it on a very heavy base,

0:46:39 > 0:46:43which fools you into thinking the thing is right.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46I think I've been very generous on a 30 to 50 estimate here.

0:46:46 > 0:46:50- £30 to £50 could mean it makes a £20 note, doesn't it?- Absolutely.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52£60, Barby paid for that.

0:46:52 > 0:46:55That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.

0:46:55 > 0:47:00- What about the Scalextric set? - I've got to admit, rather sadly, to being a huge Scalextric fan.

0:47:00 > 0:47:05I have to say, that I've never chased the Ford Escort XR3i that much.

0:47:05 > 0:47:07- No, but it's the whole case set, isn't it?- Yes.

0:47:07 > 0:47:11And just as you've explained, this is such a little emotive toy.

0:47:11 > 0:47:18- Catching your youth.- Yeah. This gives you a buzz and you think, "It's brilliant".- £20 to £40.

0:47:18 > 0:47:21- £20 paid, so it's a natural, isn't, it for a bit of a profit? - Yeah.- Which is really good.

0:47:21 > 0:47:26What about that little Norwegian enamelled drinking bowl?

0:47:26 > 0:47:29Would you have a bit of spirit in there and chuck it down the cakehole?

0:47:29 > 0:47:34- If you had a set of eight.- Oh, yes. - That's what they would have had on a dining table.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37- And they'd look wonderful. - To take their liqueur after dinner.

0:47:37 > 0:47:40- What's it worth?- £15 to £30. - Brilliant. £22 paid.

0:47:40 > 0:47:45- Good.- Now, this pitch-pine trunk,

0:47:45 > 0:47:47is it worth anything, Phil, do you think?

0:47:47 > 0:47:51We put £30 to £50 on it, and you're almost tempted to think

0:47:51 > 0:47:54that it would be a great kids toy box until you look at the lid and realise

0:47:54 > 0:47:58- that if they dropped that, they'd end up with no fingers.- Yes, quite.

0:47:58 > 0:48:04- It is for a shed, isn't it, with a precious collection of, um, tools?- Tools.

0:48:04 > 0:48:07£50 paid. I mean, it might just scrape there.

0:48:07 > 0:48:12- Yeah.- Good. On that basis, they might need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.

0:48:12 > 0:48:15Oh, a fist! THEY LAUGH

0:48:15 > 0:48:19- Oh, wow!- A pair of gold cuff links.

0:48:19 > 0:48:23Little oval panel ends, with a bit of grave-line decoration.

0:48:23 > 0:48:28- Very straightforward.- Are they old? - They're reasonably modern.

0:48:28 > 0:48:30They're...last 40 years,

0:48:30 > 0:48:33but the condition of the panels is very good,

0:48:33 > 0:48:36nice, and ready to go and £42 spent,

0:48:36 > 0:48:40- which is marginally above the gold value of the day.- Oh, OK. - Good buy, I thought.

0:48:40 > 0:48:43How much profit do you think is in them?

0:48:43 > 0:48:45We could get, hm... £10 or £15 out of it.

0:48:45 > 0:48:49You don't decide now, you decide after the sale, but for you at home,

0:48:49 > 0:48:52let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's links.

0:48:53 > 0:48:58They're nice, and they're not engraved, which is a bit of a bonus.

0:48:58 > 0:49:02£30 to £50. I want to encourage more people to wear cufflinks.

0:49:02 > 0:49:06- Yes. Let this be the start of your campaign.- Absolutely right.

0:49:06 > 0:49:09£42 was paid by Jonathan for these.

0:49:09 > 0:49:12- What would a new pair of cufflinks cost you?- Those would cost you,

0:49:12 > 0:49:15in a smart London retailers, about £220.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18- So, 30 to 50 quid, they ought to be a bargain.- Yeah.

0:49:18 > 0:49:23Well, it's down to you, Phil, you'll be up there on that rostrum, pontificating any minute now.

0:49:29 > 0:49:33Now, Judith and Philip, we are on the cusp of the auction, are you excited?

0:49:33 > 0:49:37- Very.- Are you excited, Phil? - Very.- Yeah, it's good fun, isn't it?

0:49:37 > 0:49:42- Very good.- Great crowd in the room, good prices are being had left, right and centre,

0:49:42 > 0:49:44so we're very optimistic about your lots.

0:49:44 > 0:49:50The ink stand which David found, you paid £72.50 for that,

0:49:50 > 0:49:52- the auctioneer's estimate is £30 to £50.- Oh.

0:49:52 > 0:49:56Hopefully there'll be people here interested in Art Nouveau.

0:49:56 > 0:50:01Secessionist-style ink stand, and I am bid £30 on the book, 30 bid.

0:50:01 > 0:50:03At £30 only, at 30, 30 bid.

0:50:03 > 0:50:06At 30, 40, 40 bid. At 40,

0:50:06 > 0:50:1150, 60, 70 bid here, at 70. 70 bid, 80.

0:50:11 > 0:50:1480 bid, at £80, the bid's here.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16At £80 only, is there any more?

0:50:16 > 0:50:18- Come on, come on.- Oh, behave, Barby.

0:50:18 > 0:50:22At £80 only, is there any more at all?

0:50:22 > 0:50:27At £80, the bid's with me, and I sell, then, at 80, and, done.

0:50:27 > 0:50:30- £80, you've made £7.50.- Oh, good!

0:50:48 > 0:50:53At £110, right at the back, and I sell, then, at £110.

0:50:53 > 0:50:58- Well done.- £30. 110. £30.

0:50:58 > 0:51:00- You're £37.50.- Lot 312...

0:51:19 > 0:51:24At £80 only, you're out now, at £80 only. Is there any more?

0:51:24 > 0:51:27At £80, and I sell, then, at 80, and done. Thank you.

0:51:27 > 0:51:31£80! David, you wiped your face, that's lovely.

0:51:31 > 0:51:35Thank goodness for that, absolutely. £37.50 profit.

0:51:35 > 0:51:39- Oh! Golly!- Now what are you going to do about this hand?

0:51:39 > 0:51:42- Ah, no.- No.- I don't think so. - Why? You don't like it?

0:51:42 > 0:51:45- Sorry, David. - Don't worry, don't worry.

0:51:45 > 0:51:48Well, we're going to sell it anyway and here it comes.

0:51:48 > 0:51:53There we are, the bronzed model of the hand and I am bid £10

0:51:53 > 0:51:55on the book. Bid at ten. Ten bid. £10.

0:52:03 > 0:52:07- At £30 and I sell then at £30. Done. - Oh, dear.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10- Bad luck, David.- You were so right. - At £30.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12Minus £30 on that.

0:52:12 > 0:52:17You didn't go with the Bonus Buy so you've preserved your profit of £37.50.

0:52:17 > 0:52:22- Brilliant.- Well done for that and that could be a winning score so don't say a thing to the Blues.- No.

0:52:22 > 0:52:24- No.- Not a word.

0:52:24 > 0:52:27- Not a word.- Congratulations. - Very good.- Thank you.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41- Katie and Harry.- Yes.- Have you been talking to those Reds?

0:52:41 > 0:52:43- No.- So you don't know how they've got on.- No.

0:52:43 > 0:52:45Well, that's good because we don't want you to.

0:52:45 > 0:52:50- But how are you feeling, are you feeling confident?- Yes. - Pretty bouncy?- Yeah, reasonable.

0:52:50 > 0:52:53- What do you mean reasonable?- Well, I'm a pessimist.- Are you, Harry?

0:52:53 > 0:52:55- Yes, always look on the dark side. - Yes,

0:52:55 > 0:52:57we've had talk like that before.

0:52:57 > 0:52:59First up, the Scalextric set

0:52:59 > 0:53:00and here we go.

0:53:00 > 0:53:05Now this is it for you boy racers, the Ford Escort XR3i

0:53:05 > 0:53:09racing set. What will you bid me for that someone? Start me off.

0:53:09 > 0:53:14£30. 20, someone quickly.

0:53:14 > 0:53:16Oh, dear.

0:53:16 > 0:53:19There's a whole sea of people looking at their shoes.

0:53:19 > 0:53:22Who's got a tenner? Help them out, these people need it.

0:53:22 > 0:53:26Thank you. Ten, I'm bid at ten. At £10 only. At ten. Ten bid. £10.

0:53:26 > 0:53:2920 may I? At £10 only. Is there any more?

0:53:29 > 0:53:32- Oh, dear.- Lord help us.

0:53:32 > 0:53:37At £10 right at the back and I sell then at £10 and done.

0:53:37 > 0:53:39Bad luck.

0:53:39 > 0:53:40Got that one wrong.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43It isn't quite a classic car yet.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46Norwegian silver drinking cup really,

0:53:46 > 0:53:49I suppose. There we are, bid me for that.

0:53:49 > 0:53:51And I am bid £10 for that. At ten. Ten bid. At ten.

0:53:51 > 0:53:56- 20. 30. 40 with me.- Yes.- 50, sir? At 50.

0:53:56 > 0:53:59Your bid at 50. At £50 only. At 50. Is there any more?

0:53:59 > 0:54:03- It's your bid seated at £50.- Come on.- Is there any more at all?

0:54:03 > 0:54:06At £50 then. And I sell at 50 and done.

0:54:06 > 0:54:12£50, well done. That is plus £28. You are plus 18. Now...

0:54:12 > 0:54:18A very commodious item, the pine box. £20, someone, straight in.

0:54:19 > 0:54:2020?

0:54:20 > 0:54:23Who's got a tenner someone, quickly.

0:54:23 > 0:54:26Ten. I'm bid at ten. Ten bid. £10. This is not looking good.

0:54:35 > 0:54:36Your turn, sir.

0:54:39 > 0:54:44- At £15. And I sell at 15 and done. - 15.

0:54:44 > 0:54:48It's minus £35 that. You are minus £17.

0:54:48 > 0:54:53- Oh, dear.- Oh, dear.- Minus £17. What are you going to do about these cuff links?

0:54:53 > 0:54:55- Trust him.- You don't have to go with them.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58- Definitely going with the bonus buy. - We trust you, Jonathan.

0:54:58 > 0:55:01- Decision made, we'll go with it. - OK. Here come the cuff links.

0:55:17 > 0:55:20And I sell then at 35 and done.

0:55:20 > 0:55:25£35 is minus £7 which means you are minus £24.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28- But anyway, minus £24 could be a winning score.- Could be a winner.

0:55:28 > 0:55:33- Don't tell the Reds a thing and we will reveal all in a moment.- OK.

0:55:44 > 0:55:50I have to reveal who are the runners-up today and they are sadly the Blues.

0:55:50 > 0:55:52- Oh.- How sad is that?

0:55:52 > 0:55:54And you were quite confident, weren't you,

0:55:54 > 0:55:59because your score is only minus 24 which, on Bargain Hunt,

0:55:59 > 0:56:02can very easily be a winning score by a long chalk.

0:56:02 > 0:56:06- You made your profit, £28, on that Norwegian little pot.- Yes.

0:56:06 > 0:56:11- That was really good, Katie, wasn't it?- Yes.- And you had a great day? - Fabulous.- Fabulous.

0:56:11 > 0:56:15- We've loved having you. Thank you. But the victors are the Reds.- Yes!

0:56:15 > 0:56:18David Barby never looks happier than when he's on the winning team

0:56:18 > 0:56:25and, um, quite rightly so because £37.50 is a tidy sum of winnings.

0:56:25 > 0:56:30- Are you happy about this, Ju-Ju? - Wonderful, thank you.- You look very happy about it. Congratulations.

0:56:30 > 0:56:35- We had a great show. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
