0:00:02 > 0:00:05Look at that. Isn't it lovely? Actually, completely useless!
0:00:05 > 0:00:10Let's hope that today's teams can spot the riches from the schmutter.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Let's go bargain-hunting, yeah?
0:00:39 > 0:00:44We're at Ardingly's world-famous antiques and collectors fair.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47There are literally thousands of objects here for our teams
0:00:47 > 0:00:49to choose, which is quite a challenge,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54for them to find three items in only an hour to sell off at auction.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00With only one hour and £300 to do it, they're going to need all the help they can get
0:01:00 > 0:01:06from experts Anita Manning and Catherine Southon.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07You have a playful side to you?
0:01:07 > 0:01:12- He does!- You've got expensive taste. That's a good thing.
0:01:12 > 0:01:18But before all that, let's find out some more about our two competing teams today.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24On the Red side, we've got newly-weds Emma and Matt.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Welcome to Bargain Hunt.- Thank you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:34And the absolute contrary on the Blues, a married couple for 32 years, Mark and Iris.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Welcome to Bargain Hunt. Lovely to see you. Now, Emma, how did you two meet, darling?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41We met in our current jobs.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Across the crowded office, I saw Matt and I thought, "Yep, that's...what I'd like to see,"
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- and I sort of chatted him up and we had our first date.- Ohh!
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- And everything went on very nicely from then on.- Here we are, married.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56What sort of office were you in?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58In travel, in a travel company, yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Brilliant.- Yeah.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Brilliant. What about extreme sports?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I've done a bungee jump before in Greece. I did that.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I went up in a crane and did it over the beach, so that was good fun.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I mean, I can't understand why people want to jump off things.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Well, it's the adrenalin rush. - Is that what it is?
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- You're supposed to disturb all your internal organs, aren't you? - They were still intact, so...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- I'm glad to hear it! - I can vouch for that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- So what have you done, Matt, in the way of extreme sports? - Extreme sports?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Well, I've sky-dived and I guess my absolute dream now
0:02:32 > 0:02:36is to do another bungee jump, but from a helicopter.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39That's the dream I'm kind of hoping to fulfil.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I think it could be somebody else's nightmare!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- It could be. - So Bargain Hunt's going to be a walk in the park for you, then?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Time will tell, but we'll certainly give it our best shot to get a good bargain today.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53And what interests have you got in antiques, Matt?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I'm interested in archaeological and old...
0:02:55 > 0:03:02I'm particularly interested in the Roman period but anything generally that is old where I can just have
0:03:02 > 0:03:06my mind racing about what this item was used for or how people lived back in the day.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11That's your interest, anyway. You're not going to go for that stuff today on Bargain Hunt, I hope!
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- Absolutely not.- Avoid the 2000-year-old stuff and tend to go for the 100-year-old stuff.- Yes!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I think we'll have more choice that way today.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Then of course you've always got your expert.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Now for the Blues. Mark, how did you two meet?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28We met when I was a young lad in the Air Training Corps.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- You're a good deal younger than youre wife, aren't you?- A little.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Yes. 22 years younger than your wife.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Yeah.- Yeah.- And proud of it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- And proud of it. - Dare to be different.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43You must have snatched this boy when he was in shorts, then!
0:03:43 > 0:03:49- What do you collect, Mark? - I like clocks and I like tinkering around with clocks.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- I also like militaria.- Brilliant. So what's all this about bare-back riding in Argentina, then?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58We were on a ranch just outside of Buenos Aires
0:03:58 > 0:04:03and we'd had a very good lunch with lots of vino...
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- Oh, yes.- This gaucho came flying up with his huge great horse and said
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- for me to get on the back. - "Hop up on the back, love." And off you cantered into the sunset?
0:04:13 > 0:04:19He galloped straight off with no saddle, with me clinging on this chap on the back!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22That's the trouble with red wine at lunch time.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25You know what your mother told you. You shouldn't be doing that.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28And are you interested in collecting at all, Iris?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Yes, I love Moorcroft and Spode Italian, Copeland.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Gosh, she sounds experienced, doesn't she? Are you quaking in your boots, you two?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38No, we love a challenge, so it's game on.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42I love that. The fighting talk. We're going to have fun today. Now, £300 apiece.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44There you go, £300.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49You know the rules, your experts await and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55I don't know what's going on here. Toy-boys, bare-back riding. Whatever next?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It's a big old place, Ardlingly,
0:04:59 > 0:05:04and an hour is barely enough to do it justice, but them's the rules.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Both teams have already decided on their tactics.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- While the Blues head for the high-brow indoor market... - Have you found anything?
0:05:16 > 0:05:22- ..the Reds take on the miles of stalls outside. - What are you looking for today?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Something that had a purpose in a past life.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Now, he's my favourite guy here.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31He has the weird and the wonderful.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You guys are in the travel industry.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- That's right.- Right, planes?
0:05:38 > 0:05:39- Yeah. - Trains?- Yes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Automobiles maybe?- And boats.- Ah.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Ah, I see.- The Cunard liner.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Can we have a wee look at it?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Sure. Now, you have a look.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51The Cunard liners...
0:05:51 > 0:05:57Cunard made the Lusitania and it was one of the luxury liners.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Now, I'm sure you guys know all about luxury liners.- Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Tell me if it's like a boat that you were ever on.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Emma, what do you think?- I wish!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Not when it was sunk! - No, no, definitely not.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14- I like the colours, just along here. - I would say it's probably '20s, '30s.- OK.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- What I like about this is it's collectable!- It is.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20People like Cunard Line memorabilia.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Absolutely, yeah.- Although I see there is just a small...
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- There's a wee bit of damage. - Some damage there.- Anything on the back? What's this?
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Framed and bought in Byres Road in Glasgow,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- which is just down the road from where I live!- Oh, right. OK.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Serendipity. - Yeah. I actually quite like this.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I'm worried by the damage, that it might reduce the value at auction.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48We have to take consideration for the damage.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49What would be...?
0:06:49 > 0:06:54It's a lovely thing. I'm sure it's worth about £40, isn't it, in the real world.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Oh, I wouldn't take 40, no, cos obviously you have the damage, so I'd be looking for a lot less than that.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Some people like the damage. Restorers don't buy perfect stuff.
0:07:02 > 0:07:09- They like it to be damaged.- Right. To be honest with you, I'm probably more looking about £15 for that item.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Could somebody call the police and get this lady arrested?
0:07:12 > 0:07:17No, I suppose we could take £25. How's that?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Er, no. 15 is my last offer.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Can you make it 20? If you can make it 20, we've got a deal.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- OK, all right, we've got a deal, then.- OK.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Blimey, Emma! There's no messing with you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Only ten minutes gone, but the Blues are already struggling.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Not my personal taste. - No.- It's a pair.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Pairs are good.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- So one for one and all for all? - Yeah, that's right.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- You're in this together.- We are. - What have you bought so far, then?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52We've bought a picture of a ship, memorabilia, the Cunard. Was it 1914?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Yes. Lusitania.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- Yeah. £20 we paid for that. - Clyde-built, just like me.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Ah-ha! So the greyhound of the seas.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Slim, attractive... I think I'll move on while I'm ahead! Anyway, very, very good luck.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09All right. Cheers, Tim. Thank you.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Now, what's caught Iris's eye?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Time for Catherine to have a look.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Iris, what have you got here? - A lovely piece of Moorcroft.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29I have a jar at home, the same pattern, like a ginger jar.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33You said you loved Moorcroft, didn't you, right from the start?
0:08:33 > 0:08:38Yes, and it's exactly the same colouring. The only thing is it's £195, but it's an old one, signed.
0:08:38 > 0:08:46Right, OK. Let's just have a look at it. So this is one that's actually done by the son,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Walter Moorcroft. It's in lovely condition, I must admit.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55There's no real chips or cracks or damage to that.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57But £195? That's punchy.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Yes.- What's your feeling?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Um, I must admit, when I saw the price, I was a bit...
0:09:03 > 0:09:08I thought it was a bit hefty, and I don't think we'll get that much out of it.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Fine. Now, if you really like it...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I can see it in your eyes!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15There's real love there, isn't there? What would you...?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I know what would be a good idea.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23What would you, as a lover of Moorcroft, pay for that at auction?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25At auction, I'd go up to...
0:09:28 > 0:09:30..£160.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- That is what you would pay?- Mmm.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- You need to get that below £160. - Yes.- Do you think you can do it? We'll try our very best.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41You really have to pull that price right down. Confident?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Yes.- Come on, then.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48With Iris's heart set on the Moorcroft pansies,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52she managed to get the plate for £140, but time is ticking on.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Over 20 minutes gone now.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Very pricey. I think we'll have to love it and leave it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It is beautiful, though.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03You're looking for something functional.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05What about a croquet set?!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Ah, that's really unusual, that one.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's quite sweet. It's a children's croquet set.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Yeah.- People like miniature things.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- Yeah. What year is this?- That looks from about the 1940s or '50s.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23It's in the original box, the box is in good condition.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's been looked after.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28It looks like, for an English sort of game,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31a gentleman's game, it looks like it's been made in Germany.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Oh, yeah. Well, lots of good toys were made in Germany. Germany had a big toy market.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41You had the dolls, you had the tin plate toys and so on.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Shall we have a look at the bottom of the box?- Yes, certainly.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- There's something there. - It was 2/6 at the time.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Half a crown.- Way beyond my time.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56And it was in Tunbridge Wells, it looks like this was bought in.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- It was retailed there.- Yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- What price is it? - 25.- 25.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's not too bad. It's not too bad.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05If you can get a little off,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I think we've got a good chance. - OK.- Do you think you could go for it?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Absolutely. - On you go, Emma.- OK, let's go.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Emma may be playing around with the croquet set,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17but she certainly isn't playing around with the bargaining today.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21£18 paid and two items bought so far.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26But as we approach the halfway mark, the Blues are yet to find their stride.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29We've pretty much exhausted this room, haven't we?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Yes. That's nice.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Come on, chaps, there is a time limit, you know!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- It's beautiful. - It was in my kitchen for three years. - Was it?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Got thrown out by the boss. - Oh, right.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56A hunting flask. Has it actually got the bottle that goes... Does that actually go in there?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I quite like that, Iris. It is unusual.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I can't say I've ever seen one.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- And it's got its leather case. - Yes, that's what attracted me to it.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08It does fit. I can first of all, there's no sort of clasp.
0:12:08 > 0:12:15I'm thinking it probably would've had a little buckle where you would've attached it to your belt.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20But I like it. I like the fact that the leather's in good condition. Let's open it up.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Take it out. I like that shape.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's a lovely shape, isn't it?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- It is.- Put your little gin and tonic in there. And that is silver.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- It's hallmarked there. It's Birmingham.- Birmingham, yes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37And I think the letter is telling us it's 1890.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- What's your feeling?- I like it.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- What attracted you to it? - I like things in leather cases.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Telescopes, things like that. It's something I've got at home.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I've got a couple of telescopes that are in similar cases.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Sort of military style. - And this has got a nice feel to it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- I'm concerned about the price. - Yes.- It's £98.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Its auction price is going to be about 40-60.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Let's try for 40, then.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- Who's good out of you two at getting the price down?- I'm not frightened.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- You're not frightened. - Mark's brilliant.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13What's your best?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Um...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I was going to say 90, but probably 85 is really the best.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Can you meet me halfway?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23No, I can't. No, I'm sorry.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Can you say what your rock bottom is for it?
0:13:26 > 0:13:31I'd do 75, but that is absolutely rock bottom.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Shall we think about that and then maybe come back to it?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- We could perhaps come back, couldn't we?- Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Thank you very much for your time. Thank you.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Don't use ALL your time thinking.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44There'll be none left for buying if you're not careful.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50The Reds are doing better, but so far, they've only spent a piddling £38 out of their 300.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54But I think they have a cunning plan.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59We've got two small items. Let's go for a real giant killer at the auction.
0:14:02 > 0:14:0615 minutes to go now, but have the Blues found their second item?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08What have you found? What have you found?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I saw this. It's a lovely Art Nouveau piece.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19£90. WMF, which is great.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Oh, it's got name down here. - Yes, La Madeleine.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23That's the name of the ship, presumably.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Yes. It's lovely, isn't it?
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- It is nice.- Do you like that? - I like it, yeah...- It's a little sort of pin tray.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Where's WMF?
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- Not actually stamped WMF, although it's got this number here. - Perhaps it isn't.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I think it probably is. I think this number here will tell us.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46If you did a little bit of research, it would probably tell us that it is WMF. Do you know anything about WMF?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Yes, it's German. - German factory. I won't even...
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Machine fabrik or something.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Yes, Wurttembergen...- That's it.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I like the Art Nouveau connection.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Lovely Art Nouveau, these sort of whiplash curves around.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Quite badly scratched, though, isn't it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Too badly, do you think?
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Mmm...badly enough to try and get the price down a bit more, I think.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Shall I try?- Yes.- OK.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Let me have a word. Excuse me.- Hello.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- Hello there. I believe you've spoken to my team about this.- Yes, I have.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I'm a bit concerned, because it hasn't got WMF stamped on the back.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26With that in mind, and also with the fact that it is quite badly scratched,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I'm wondering if we can squeeze you down a little bit more.
0:15:29 > 0:15:3185 would be the best.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34How about 80 for my lovely team?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36As it's your lovely team, OK.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- 80's fine. - What do you think about that?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- That's brilliant. Thank you very much.- Shall we give it a go?- Yes.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Thank you very much.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It's a nice thing, but it's damaged, so let's leave it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It's damaged, yes.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58With less than 15 minutes left, the Blues take stock of their whopping £220 spending spree.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03We've spent a lot, haven't we? Yes. Isn't it lovely?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05A water bottle or whatever.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Probably, maybe military or something.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11An officer's flask? Uh-huh.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Full of brandy!
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Hello, Tim.- Hello!- How are you? Very well. Are you?- Yes...
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Well, we've spent big, big bucks.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Have you?- Mmm. - But you like that.- I do like that.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I'm delighted for you. Have you bought everything, then?
0:16:29 > 0:16:30No, we're one item short.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- How much have you got left?- £80.
0:16:32 > 0:16:3480? Well, that's not too bad.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37You don't need to worry about leaving her...
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- We're not, don't worry! - She can manage with a fiver.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47With the seconds ticking away, the Blues decide to go back
0:16:47 > 0:16:51for the glass, but they're in a for a nasty surprise.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52- Have you sold it?- Yes.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- That's cos we were looking at it. - I know, and I got my price.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And you got your price. Well, there you go.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Right.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That's a shame, cos you liked that.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Not to worry.- Positive thinking.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11And now, the Blues have to pull all the stops out to find their last item.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15The clock is really ticking. We've got one more thing to buy, so come on.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Time for a change of scenery.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Shall we head over there quickly? Do you want to go that way?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22No, no, just go.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Come on, team!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I shall need a gin and tonic!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29What I want is a croquet set.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Sorry, Mark, the croquet set's already gone. The Reds have bought it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:39And with less than ten minutes left, I think the Reds may have found their killer item.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Are these microscopes? - How much are your microscopes?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44180, 120.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46120? And...?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- 85.- 85.- I really like these.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- You like these?- Yeah, I really do.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55I like the fact that they've got the different magnifying glasses in here.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Mm-hmm.- They've got inscriptions on them, haven't they?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01If we get the maker's name, that's good.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06We're looking at condition and we're looking at quality.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I also like the fact that we have...
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- The box.- We have the box here, so we've got a complete item.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Can we have a look?- I would say it's from maybe '30s, '40s...- Yeah, OK.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22- ..'50s, so it's not a Victorian one, but it has a bit of age about it. - Yeah.- Yes.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27People collect scientific instruments, so there's a market for that type of thing.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I think they're visually interesting.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Absolutely. Anybody that's there that is into scientific equipment,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- this is going to appeal to them immensely. - So do you want to have a go at that?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Yes.- Yeah, we'll have a go at this one.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42What did he say the price was on it?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's £120.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- OK.- Now, we're not too far away.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Shall we go in about 80? Why not? You know...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Go in a wee bit lower.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- A bit lower, OK.- Well, give yourself room for negotiation.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56To go up to 80-plus.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59But the stall-holder was firm.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04He wouldn't sell his microscope for less than £110.
0:19:11 > 0:19:18Now, our experts will be keeping one eye open for their teams and one eye open for the Bonus Buy.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23That's the mystery fourth item that's bought with any leftover cash.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Whether they go with it or not, it can enhance their profits, or not.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31That's the gamble.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I'm getting a bit concerned. We have eight minutes left.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- So are we.- I did actually see something I rather liked inside.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Do you want to come in and have a little look?- Go on, then.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Let's go. You've talked us into it.- Yes.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Iris, come and have a little look.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54What do you think to this? Do you know what it is?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- It's a buckle.- A buckle. Absolutely.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58- Belt buckle.- Yes.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Art Deco,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04so we're thinking 1930s, semi-precious stones here.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10I love the colour and I love the design, and I just think it screams Art Deco.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15- I like the way the stones are cut on this edge.- Yeah, it's like faceted, the way it's been cut.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18She's asking £38, which is fairly reasonable.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21If we can get this right down -
0:20:21 > 0:20:27sort of £10, £15, £20 maybe - I think we can make a profit on that.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- It's bound to sell. - It's Mark's choice.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Yeah, go on, let's have it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Yeah? Can I leave it to you?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Can I leave it in your hands to try and see if you can...
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- I'm sure I can get a deal.- ..get a cheeky deal on it? - Yeah, I'm sure I can.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Mark bought the belt buckle for a cheeky £15.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Not quite the object they were looking for, but they only had a few minutes to spare.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Mmm, very tasty.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Your time's up, Doris.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Let's check out what the Red team's bought, right?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02The commemorative picture
0:21:02 > 0:21:05certainly floated Emma's boat to the tune of £20.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13They went cock-a-hoop for the croquet set at just £18.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Toys always make money.- Yeah. - Especially old ones.
0:21:17 > 0:21:25And the last of the big spenders forked out £110 for the microscope.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I think that's a cracker, and Emma picked it out,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30so I'm hoping we'll do very well.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Did you have a great time doing that shopping?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Brilliant.- Fantastic. - It's quite an experience, isn't it? - It is.- Oh, absolutely.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38But such a short time, yeah?
0:21:38 > 0:21:43It is, but hopefully we've got the three items that are going to maximise our profit at auction.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Which will bring you the biggest profit?
0:21:45 > 0:21:52Well, we're hoping, because it's a Henry Crouch microscope, it's going to come in at maximum value.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58- And you agree with that? - Definitely, yeah.- Oh, well, this microscope had better do well.
0:21:58 > 0:22:05- Fingers crossed.- £148 you spent. I'd like £152 of leftover lolly for the Bonus Buy, going to Anita Manning.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Gosh, how exciting, Anita.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Well, they were looking for something functional,
0:22:11 > 0:22:18they were, however, seduced by the decorative and the playful.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- Easily done.- So I'm going to get something functional for them.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Functional, but fun.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28That's the two Fs, isn't it?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31If I can spell correctly! OK, Anita.
0:22:31 > 0:22:39Off you go! Come back with the two Fs while we go and trot off and see what the Blues bought.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42The Blues weren't afraid to splash the cash either,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45starting with this Moorcroft plate for £140.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47And I'm slightly nervous.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Then another £80 slipped away for this Art Nouveau dish.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Catherine saved the day
0:22:57 > 0:23:01when she found this Art Deco belt buckle for £15.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Really, we just sort of ran out of time and it was like,
0:23:04 > 0:23:05"Ah! We'll have that."
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Did you have a great time?- Yes.- We had a wonderful time, thank you.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Yes, you are something else, aren't you, you two?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- Which is your favourite bit, Iris? - The Moorcroft for me.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- What's your favourite, Mark? - Probably the WMF.- WMF. Favourites.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- I think the buckle.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- The buckle. - I think the buckle as well.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31OK, you spent £235, which is quite magnificent.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I want £65 of leftover lolly.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- You don't like handing that over, Iris, do you? Here comes the £65, Catherine.- Thank you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- How do you feel about that?- Well, I think that Iris and I have been ganging up a little bit on Mark.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45We bought quite girly things, didn't we?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49And we sort of ignored him a little bit, so I'm going to buy something for Mark...
0:23:49 > 0:23:54- Something butch? - Well, don't know about butch, but maybe something slightly masculine.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Yes. Break with the habit of a lifetime, eh?
0:23:57 > 0:24:02- I will, absolutely. Forget the girly. I'm off. - Good luck, Catherine. Me?
0:24:02 > 0:24:07I'm going to take a very long walk off a short plank next to a moat.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16Ah, what an enduring and iconic image of all things British.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20No wonder they say a man's home is his castle,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24but there's one thing missing from this almost perfect picture.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30That's right. A man's best friend is his dog.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32But hang on a minute, Fido.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34He's lost his collar.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40So if a man's best friend is his dog, a dog's best friend is his collar.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46And a few hundred years ago, it might even have saved his life.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47All right, Fido?
0:24:47 > 0:24:54Leeds Castle is not the first place you might think of to find a museum of dog collars,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56but thanks to a personal bequest,
0:24:56 > 0:25:02it has the largest public collection of canine neck-wear in the world.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07They've got over 100 dog collars in the dog collar museum,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10and one of the earliest is this example.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12It's made of wrought iron
0:25:12 > 0:25:16and it was designed to go on a hunting hound
0:25:16 > 0:25:20around about 1600, 1620, that sort of date.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26If you were going on a boar hunt and the boar might have turned on one of the hunting dogs
0:25:26 > 0:25:30and tried to gore it with its horrible snout,
0:25:30 > 0:25:35the dog could whip around and flash this collar in front of the boar's nose
0:25:35 > 0:25:41and if it came on, it would get a nasty mouthful of these sharp spikes.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44So, a completely practical collar.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49But the second example, which dates from the end of the 17th century,
0:25:49 > 0:25:55around 1680-1700, is a much more comfortable and luxurious collar.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57What do you think about this, Max?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00He looks happy in it, doesn't he? And so he should do.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04This thing is leather-lined inside for comfort,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08and in the middle on the outside is a plaque.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14Now, that plaque is made of gilt copper and has been raised with a coat of arms.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18That's the coat of arms for the Bishop of Salzburg.
0:26:18 > 0:26:24Either side of that, we've got plush, which is almost like carpet,
0:26:24 > 0:26:29so comfortable indeed that I think old Max would like to go walkies.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Walkies, Max! Here we go.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48# Everything reminds me of my dog... #
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I quite fancy a squirrel this time of the afternoon.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I bet you'd like to have one too, wouldn't you?
0:26:55 > 0:27:01Now, for a slightly more utilitarian metal collar,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04what we've got here is a brass fellow.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06It's adjustable.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10You've got three positions, so it could go on a significantly smaller hound than our Max here.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14This time, it's inscribed, not with the dog's name,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16but with the owner's name,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20so that if the hound ran away, it could at least be returned.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Lots of comfort here, though, cos the clever old Victorians
0:27:23 > 0:27:27have developed the rolled edge, where the sharp edge of the metal
0:27:27 > 0:27:28has been turned into a roll
0:27:28 > 0:27:32so that it sits nice and comfortably round the dog's neck.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37So, Max, how about something completely different, yeah?
0:27:37 > 0:27:43# Everything reminds me of my dog
0:27:43 > 0:27:45# Beautiful things remind me of my dog... #
0:27:45 > 0:27:51I'm not quite sure who is taking who for a walk here,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53but Max is certainly enjoying himself. Come on, Max.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56What we're going to do is to scroll forward to the middle of
0:27:56 > 0:28:03the 20th century and have a look at a most interesting collar, a collar that was issued to the military dog.
0:28:03 > 0:28:10It says on the plaque here, "War Dog 1939-1945".
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Not necessarily a regimental mascot dog,
0:28:14 > 0:28:19but a working dog for our boys in khaki. Extraordinary, isn't it?
0:28:19 > 0:28:24Anyway, it's time for us now to go walkies to the saleroom.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Let's just hope it isn't too "ruff" there for our teams!
0:28:37 > 0:28:43William Rouse is our auctioneer today at the Chiswick Auction Rooms in West London.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Lovely to be here, William. - Pleasure to have you.- Thank you.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51Now, the Reds, Emma and Matt, their first item is this Lusitania plaque.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- Now, some of these things can be worth money, can't they?- Absolutely.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58There's a terrific amount of interest in nautical things of that sort.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02We're certainly getting a bit of interest here in the saleroom.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04What do you think this is worth, that plaque?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Well, I have to admit I was quite bullish with this, actually.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11I've put around £80 estimate on it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- Have you really? £20 they paid. - Well, it's a shame it's slightly damaged. That doesn't help.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19But apart from that, I think it's quite a commercial image.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22On that happy note, let's move on to the croquet set.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Nicely boxed.- Yep. Good condition box too, which is important.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Good. What do you think it's worth? - Probably £30-£40.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31OK, fine. £18 paid.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37- So, between those two items, they could be more than doubling their money so far.- Absolutely.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38What about the microscope, though?
0:29:38 > 0:29:43They seem to, if anything, have gone down in value, and this particular example,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45there's more than one maker involved in this box,
0:29:45 > 0:29:49so I think the whole thing is perhaps a bit cobbled together.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54A bit of a combination. OK, so, putting your most bullish hat on, what's your estimate on this?
0:29:54 > 0:29:56We've put about £70-plus on it.
0:29:56 > 0:30:02OK, well, £110 they paid, so that could wipe out whatever profit they've made on the other two items,
0:30:02 > 0:30:07so they could need their Bonus Buy, and let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10So, team, you spent £148, which is fine.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13You gave Anita £152 to buy your Bonus Buy.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16What did she spend it on? Anita.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Surprise us. Oh, wow!
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- That's interesting. - I'm not sure if it's a plumbing object or a kitchen appliance.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28When we started off, we thought we would buy useful things.
0:30:28 > 0:30:34In actual fact, we bought really frivolous things, so I thought I would go for something useful.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- OK.- And what does that...?
0:30:36 > 0:30:41- Well...- That's a very good, practical question, that.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46It's a Royal Doulton whisky tap.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51Doulton, as well as making wonderful decorative objects,
0:30:51 > 0:30:56made this sort of utilitarian thing as well, and people do collect that type of thing.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59And I think it's an interesting-looking object as well.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01It is. And how much was that?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04I paid £25 for it.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- Oh, OK.- OK. And what sort of profit do you think might be had on this?
0:31:08 > 0:31:13Well, there will be collectors for that type of thing, and I think it could maybe do round about £30.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14OK.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Do you want to see if it's something that appeals to you? - It is very interesting.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25So we've got a prediction here of a relatively modest profit, right?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27But you don't have to pick it now.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30You can decide after the sale of the first three items,
0:31:30 > 0:31:34but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's tap.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37So here we go, William.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- Intriguing, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Not the most useful of objects, or the most decorative of objects.
0:31:42 > 0:31:49No. I mean, people like Doulton, but really for their artistic wares rather than the kind of
0:31:49 > 0:31:51utility stuff, which is what this is all about.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55That's what Doulton started off doing. Making tiles and that sort of thing.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00- And drain pipes.- Drain pipes.- Yeah. Difficult thing to value, I'd say.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- Not the most obviously commercial object that you could imagine.- No.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- £30. Something like that.- £30, OK.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09£25 was paid by Anita Manning. Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Now for the Blues.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14First up is their Moorcroft plate.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17It's one of the more popular patterns.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22It's not a specially early one, it's not one of the modern copies,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26so the best thing you can say about it is it's not damaged and there's always a market for them.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28How much, then, do you think?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31We ended up putting about sort of £80 on it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Well, they paid £140, so that's a pretty...- Well, you never know.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39What about the WMF silvered metal dish?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I think it's a great subject.
0:32:42 > 0:32:49Not great condition. Been a bit scratched and got at by somebody, but there's always a market for WMF.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53It's got the look, for me anyway, but will it make £80, do you think?
0:32:53 > 0:32:59I'm afraid my estimate is a bit lower than that, around the 40-60, I think largely due to the condition, really.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Well, we'll have to hope for the best.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05And lastly is the chunky belt buckle. That's a monster, isn't it?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- I don't know quite what to say about it, really!- It's green.- It is green.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- Lovely colour, green.- Yeah.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- And glass.- And glass.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Not going to have a huge estimate on it.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- I think it'll be £30 or £40, really. - They'll be happy with that, cos they only paid £15.- Great.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Bit of a mixed bag.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27Really, it's the condition element of the WMF which will probably determine whether they make
0:33:27 > 0:33:31a profit on these items or not, in which case, they may well need
0:33:31 > 0:33:33their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:33 > 0:33:40Mark and Iris, you spent £235, you gave Catherine £65.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42What did she blow it on?
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Well, I wanted to buy something for Mark, because, Iris,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47we bought quite a lot of things for you,
0:33:47 > 0:33:49and poor Mark didn't really get much of a say in it.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52So I thought maybe silver or treen...
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- Mm-hmm.- ..and I bought you these. - Oh, wow.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Some little silver...I think, sugar tongs.- They're lovely.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- In the form of a wishbone. Aren't they great?- Yeah, nice. - Really unusual.
0:34:03 > 0:34:09- That's very pretty.- Hallmarked. - Silver, hallmarked 1910.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12There's always fun, those things, you use can them
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- for ice cubes if you don't have lump sugar.- Absolutely.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17The big question is, how much?
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Well, what do you reckon? You gave me £65. What do you think? How much would you pay for them?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Solid silver, right? Yeah?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Yeah, solid silver, 1910 - what would you pay for them?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- 30?- I paid 15.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- Like it. Yeah. I'm impressed. - Got to be a profit.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- That was a bargain.- I'm impressed. - That really was a bargain.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Well, that's the name of the game, so let's hope so.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Well done, Catherine. You don't decide right now,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43you decide later, but for the benefit of the viewers at home,
0:34:43 > 0:34:47let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little nips.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- I don't like that! - Are you allowed to say that?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52LAUGHTER
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I like that! Well done.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57OK, William.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Always popular, these novelty nips like that, aren't they?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Yeah. I think this is rather a nice thing, and there's plenty of people
0:35:05 > 0:35:09who do collect sugar nips and it's an interesting variety on a theme.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Yeah, and it's solid silver, which is good. 1910.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Nice clear hallmark.- How much, then?
0:35:14 > 0:35:19- £40.- Gosh, that would be marvellous. £15, Catherine paid for that. - I'm sure we can do better.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21That's a bargain, isn't it?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Yeah, it is. - Good. See you on the rostrum.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Ems, Matt, how are you feeling, kids?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Yeah, looking forward to it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Confident, fantastic...- Just hoping our items are going to do well.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44First up, then, is the Lusitania commemorative, and here it is.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Good thing, this. Start me for £40 for it.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51£30 for it, then. Surely for 30... At £30. £20, then. £20 I'm bid here.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Finally, at £20 now, and they're all coming to life now.
0:35:56 > 0:36:0132...34...36...38...40...
0:36:01 > 0:36:0445? Still cheap for 45. At £45...
0:36:04 > 0:36:06I can't believe it. 45.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Half price, then. At £45.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10It goes for 45, then.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- Well done, Anita. - A good enough start.- Excellent.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17£25 is very good. You've doubled your money there. That's great.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- Excellent!- Now, croquet to come.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Bit of fun, this.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Start me for £20 for the croquet set.
0:36:23 > 0:36:2620 I'm bid. A maiden bid at £20, there at 20. And 2 I'll take.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28£20 for that maiden bid at 20.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33It can be sold at £20. 22...24...26...
0:36:33 > 0:36:3928? Anybody else? For £26, it's still cheap there for 26. At £26, then.
0:36:39 > 0:36:4226 it is, then. 26 is the bid.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46That's £8. That's very nice.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48You are plus £33.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- OK.- Now...the microscope.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55Um...this could be...the black hole.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Make or break.- 134A, the microscope.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01£30 for the microscope. I'm bid straight off.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04At £30, and 5 I'll take. 35...
0:37:04 > 0:37:0740. And 5 anywhere? 45, thank you.
0:37:07 > 0:37:0945 by the flowers.
0:37:09 > 0:37:1350, anybody else? For £45. It's seems cheap for 45.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16I can sell it. 45 it's going, then.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- Minus £65.- We did so well on the first two items.
0:37:20 > 0:37:26That's two, so that means you are minus £32 overall. So what are we going to do about the whisky tap?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Is he going to turn it on for us or not?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30What's it going to be?
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- Yes, no?- No.- No?- No. - Let's leave it at a no.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38We're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42The Doulton Lambeth stoneware two-piece barrel spigot.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Unusual lot, this, but what's it worth? £10 to start me.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Surely somebody for a £10 note.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51The spigot for £10. Nobody want it?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54£5? £10 you're bidding. £10 I'm bid.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Here at £10. 12 anywhere?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59£10, the hammer's coming down.
0:37:59 > 0:38:0012, just in time. Thank you.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Relief! No...are you going to bid 14?
0:38:03 > 0:38:08No? All right, £12 I'm bid in the doorway, then. At £12.
0:38:08 > 0:38:1014, fresh bidding.
0:38:10 > 0:38:1216...18...
0:38:12 > 0:38:1420...
0:38:14 > 0:38:15In the doorway at £20, then.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17At 20 it goes.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20I'm selling it for 20, then. At 20 it goes.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Good decision, team. £20, so it's minus £5 on that.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Ah, well done, well done. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- So overall, then, you got minus £32. - Excellent.- The big trick here is don't tell the Blues a thing, right?
0:38:38 > 0:38:43- Iris, Mark, how did the Reds get on? Do you know?- No idea. - You don't know how the Reds did?
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- They looked extremely miserable on the way out.- Did they?- Yes. - Oh, good.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Anyway, here comes Walter Moorcroft at his finest.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Everything's crossed. - Fingers crossed.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56I have got a £40 left bid on it.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00And 45 in the room against commissions. At £45. And 50 there.
0:39:00 > 0:39:0655...60...65...70...5...80...
0:39:06 > 0:39:0985...90...
0:39:09 > 0:39:1295... 95 on the table here.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13At £95. 100, anybody else?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Make it round money.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18£95 then. The hammer's coming down.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20For £95 it is, then.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22£95, I'm afraid.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24You're minus £45 on that.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27But don't despair. Here comes your dish.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29WMF dish in the form of a dinghy.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32153A. Bit of interest in the lot straight off.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36I'm bid already £40 for this dish.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38With me at £40 for the WMF.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Come on!- And 5 I'll take. Anybody else want to come in?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43It's a left bid at 40. 45, thank you.
0:39:43 > 0:39:4550 with me. 50 still on the book.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48£50 and 5, somebody else.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49For £50... Anybody else?
0:39:49 > 0:39:51£50 it is, then. Selling it for 50.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- What a miserable lot!- £50.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- That's minus £30. - Sorry, but they are!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- You're minus £75.- Not good.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- We need the belt buckle to... - It will.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06It's quite nice, but I don't think it's that nice.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09It's an unusual belt buckle. £10 for it surely, somebody?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12For £10... Anybody want it for £10, the little buckle?
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Oh, come on!
0:40:13 > 0:40:15£5, then?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Thank you, I'm bid £5 for the buckle.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20£5. And 6, somebody.
0:40:20 > 0:40:216 I'm bid here. Good.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23I can't believe this.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- It's a fantastic thing.- ..10, 12...
0:40:26 > 0:40:32£12 there. We have it at 12, and 14, somebody else? At £12, is that all?
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- At £12 it's going, then. £12, I'm selling it for 12.- £12.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Genuine white metal and glass.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Minus £3. That is minus £78.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43These estimates mean nothing.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- So, team, this has not been the best outing, has it?- Definitely not.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Are you going to go with the Bonus Buy, then?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- Yes, have to.- Definitely.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55It's not going to struggle to make a profit on £15.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I think they're all dead.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Dead?- Over there!- Oh.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- What, you mean them?- Yes!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Well, there's a thought, Iris.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Well, they're not very animated, are they?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10No, quite. We like a bit of movement, don't we, Iris?
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- We do.- What are we like? OK. Here we go. It's the last hope.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17It's your last hope, Iris.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- These are fabulous.- Amusing pair of Edwardian silver tongs.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22£10, then, to start me. I thought so.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26£10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20...
0:41:26 > 0:41:28£20 there with the lady.
0:41:28 > 0:41:3022... Did I see somebody else?
0:41:30 > 0:41:3422 there now. 24, 26, 28, 30...
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- 32, 34, 36...- You tell them, Iris.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40There at £36. With the lady at £36.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Anybody else want to come in?
0:41:42 > 0:41:44For £36, it's yours, madam. 36 it is.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Catherine, well done.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Super. £21 profit. That's excellent.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Which means, overall, you are now minus £57.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- That's not too bad, is it? - That could be a winning score.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59- And don't tell the Reds. - Could've been worse. - Could've been a lot worse.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08I have to reveal who the runners-up are today, and sadly, they are the Blues.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Excellent.- Minus £57. - It wasn't bad, was it?
0:42:14 > 0:42:19It's not bad. I mean, it would've been a lot worse had it not been for Catherine's nips, right?
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- Yes.- Because her nips made you £21 profit.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- Quite an achievement! - What can I say? - But have you had a nice time?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- We've had a wonderful time.- You've been a great pair of contestants.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- A wonderful time. - It's been good fun.- Thank you.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Now for the Reds, the victors...
0:42:36 > 0:42:39by only losing £32!
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- No profits in there, but it was so close, wasn't it?- I know.
0:42:42 > 0:42:48- It was.- You made two belting profits to start with, then that wretched microscope dragged you back.- Yeah.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50And you didn't go with the Bonus Buy.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54You've done everything just so and you should be walking home with pound notes.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59- But sadly, just the victory. - No, that's OK.- A pyrrhic victory.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01We had a great show, though.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Join us soon for some more bargain-hunting. Yes?- ALL: Yes!
