0:00:04 > 0:00:09We're visiting Wiltshire today, famous for its pre-historic sites.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Now, I doubt our teams today will find anything quite that old
0:00:13 > 0:00:18but antiques is the name of our game so let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Our teams will be Bargain Hunting today here in the market town of Marlborough.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55In 1653 there was the Great Fire Of Marlborough
0:00:55 > 0:00:57that practically burnt the whole place down.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03And when they re-built it, the High Street became known as the widest in England.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06And it certainly is wide.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Today we've come to the Marlborough Parade Antiques Centre
0:01:10 > 0:01:14where our Bargain Hunters will have £300 and one hour to find three items.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Let's hope they know what they're doing when they splash the cash
0:01:18 > 0:01:20as the three items will then be sold at auction.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25The pair that makes the most or loses the least will be crowned the winners.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Five, seventy...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29all done.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35We have a plethora of globe trotters on Bargain Hunt today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Welcome, teams.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Very nice to see you. We've got Chris and Glyn for the Blues
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and Diane and Carol for the Reds.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Now, you girls. How do you know each other?
0:01:46 > 0:01:51I was invited to a barbecue by my cousin and she was already a friend of Carol's.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- So I met Carol, and we've been friends ever since. - How many years ago is that?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- About 12 years. - That's pretty good...- Not bad!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Not bad! Now you've recently been away haven't you, Diane?
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Yes. I came back about three weeks ago from a Caribbean Cruise for two weeks, which was very nice.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Very good. - Back to this cold weather!
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Yes. And what about your favourite hobby? What is that?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Um, horse riding. Horses in general.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- And what do you collect? - Beswick horses!
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Inevitable, isn't it! And how many have you got?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- I did have over 200.- Did you really?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30But I wheeled and dealed a few a few years ago and I'm down to about 80 now.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Did you do all right with your dealing?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Yes, it paid for a holiday one year with the profits.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Pretty good then. Excellent.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- Now, Carol, you're an Administrative Assistant for Metric?- That's right.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44You used to sell houses.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Do you think that's going to help you today?- I think so.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50With my negotiating skills...yes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- You're going to make a great deal or two then. Is that right?- I hope so.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Now, you haven't always lived in Britain, have you?- No. In '89 to '93 I lived in The Far East.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- A year in Hong Kong and three in Singapore.- Was that good fun?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Lovely. It was with my husband's company
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- but missed the family so I wanted to come home.- You had to come home.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09I had to come back, yes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- Did you do a lot of buying and selling when you were out East? - Used to do a bit of dealing, yes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Used to go down the back streets and get little trinkets.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Um, in Singapore we used to go to a pottery.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- And we used to go to little barrow stalls and elephants. - That's handy isn't it?
0:03:23 > 0:03:28It was. But the thing is now, you can get them in any do-it-yourself store just as cheap!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- That's what's changed though over the years.- I know.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34You girls want to do a bit of unzipping before we move over to the Blues, don't you?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- We do.- OK then. Show us your chests.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Ah! Ha ha ha!
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Is that a hint as to which expert you'd like today, I ask myself?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Anyway, now for the Blues.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Chris and Glyn, how long have you been married for? - 35 years in August.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Have you? And how did you meet?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm from Liverpool. Glyn went to college in Liverpool
0:03:54 > 0:03:56and was actually in digs in my mum's best friend's house.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Right.- So, that was quite handy!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Yes, new students in town!- Yes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- So you were down there like... - No, I just happened to be at my friend's.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And you popped in, and you met.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- And that was it?- That's right.- Yeah.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13And you married shortly thereafter?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Yes, so that I could go to sea with Glyn, because you had to be married.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I went to sea with Glyn for two years.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Did you really? That was romantic, isn't it?- It was fabulous.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Sharing the same bunk and everything.- Absolutely!
0:04:25 > 0:04:32- Brilliant. Now Glyn, you're retired now, but you worked for the same company for 32 years?- That's right.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- What did you do with them? - I was selling marine lubricants.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36And do you collect anything?
0:04:36 > 0:04:42I've been collecting marathon medals and trophies...
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Because you're a runner? - I've run a 193 marathons.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- You're fit as a flea then!- No, I was fit. I don't think I'm so fit now!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54And what sort of things will you have your eye out for today then?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Well, we like Japanese ware.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02So we're going to, have our eye out to see if we can find something in the Japanese theme.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Well, that's the spirit of the true Bargain Hunter to go out there and discover some treasure.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Now, the money moment. £300 a piece.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Thank you.- You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The Red Team got their wish,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21joining his globetrotting girls today is Mark Stacey.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23And keeping his feet firmly on dry land,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Philip Allwood is helping the Blues.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34But with so many items on offer here, what will our teams find?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Now look. This looks rather fun.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40A little pen. Let's call Carol in. Carol.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Now look what we've got here, a sort of scarf holder.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49You thread your scarf through here and secure it. We're going to a country zone.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I think that's got quite a strong marking for the sort of country pursuits angle.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- And, of course, the fox is quite a good symbol for that isn't it?- Yes.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00What sort of age do you think it is?
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Well, it's gold plated or base metal plated with gold and then
0:06:05 > 0:06:10we've got this little roundel here which is probably transfer printed and just painted over.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15So I would say that it's probably 1900, 1920s something like that.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16So it's got a bit of age to it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Yes. What price are they asking for it, Mark?- That's a bit of a worry.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24It's marked at £48. We need to get that down a bit, don't we?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- To £8.- To £8? I don't think you'll get it down to eight.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31But we'll certainly get a bit off it if we can, if we ask them nicely.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Would you get a scarf through there?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Yes, of course you would.- Because nowadays they wear thick ones.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Is it more for silk?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, you'd have to wear a thin one!
0:06:43 > 0:06:49- Right. Well, we'll see what we can do. We'll ask the dealer to get some off the price.- Yeah.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- And I think it's also one of those little objects that's quite nice in a little collector's cabinet.- Yes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- It's quite a decorative little piece as well, isn't it?- Yes.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- OK.- OK. Let's go and talk to them and we'll see what we can do there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07The cheeky Reds didn't negotiate the scarf ring down to £8
0:07:07 > 0:07:13but they did get £8 off the price and bagged it for £40.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Philip, could you come and have a look at this?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Well, that's pretty smart isn't it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:24Looks very Minton and Charles Rennie Mackintosh design, doesn't it?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27But, wrong country.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Eichwald, so German.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- What sort of age do you think it is? - I think it dates to around 1900ish.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39So a little bit after the Rennie Mackintosh period, but it's a...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42And there's a little bit of damage on the...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45There is, quite a lot.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51But it's still a very nice piece and somebody might like it to sit on a sideboard.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59£22. If you can get a bit off you might be able to attract a buyer that's not worried too much about
0:07:59 > 0:08:02the condition and wants to put it on the shelf to have that look.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05So if I go and talk to the man nicely, and mention the chips and bashes?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Make a big thing of the chips and bashes, yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12You might get away with it. It's got a nice look.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15The condition is going to be the only sticking point, really.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's very pretty. And for the right price,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21we could have a runaway success!
0:08:21 > 0:08:25You may or may not have a runaway success with that damage.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29If someone particularly wants it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33If you've got a flower arranger that's spotted...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35For putting flowers in?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38No, but for a competition they've got in mind...
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Yes, that's imaginative and that could work.- It could work!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45So you want a whole room full of flower arrangers
0:08:45 > 0:08:50needing a green and pink floral decorated vase to put the flowers in.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- That could work! - Definitely could work!
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I like it. I'm going to ask him what we can have off it. Anything off it.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Get as much as you can off it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Might have a tenner in it maybe?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I think you'll struggle with the damage.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05We'll go with the gods and hope for it. Thank you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Which god is she praying to?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I don't know!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Let's hope it's an all powerful one!
0:09:13 > 0:09:17They could indeed be in need of divine intervention
0:09:17 > 0:09:20after buying that vase for £18.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27I have found for you the most gorgeous pair of spoons.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30What do you think about these? Great, aren't they?
0:09:30 > 0:09:31What's so special about them?
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Well, for a kick off, they were hallmarked in Dublin in 1805.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39And Irish silver is extremely desirable.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Simply because there's not so much of it knocking about.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45You can always tell a bit of Irish silver
0:09:45 > 0:09:48because there are often peculiarities in the shape.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52This particular type of shape of spoon is called fiddle back
0:09:52 > 0:09:58where it is slender in the middle and then swells out to this tablet on the end.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02But the tablet on the end on these Irish spoons is unnaturally long,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04which is an interesting feature.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08If I pick it up, you can see it's of massive scale
0:10:08 > 0:10:13that's because this spoon is called either a basting or stuffing spoon.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17You've got to imagine an enormous turkey on the dish.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22You take this basting spoon and scoop up some of that delicious gravy and
0:10:22 > 0:10:27fat and dribble that over the top of the fowl to keep it nice and moist.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29That's the purpose of the spoon.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32The other spoon is really unusual.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38Here we've got a matching fiddle back Irish spoon but with this one it's got a bridge running over
0:10:38 > 0:10:43the top of the bowl and underneath the bridge are a series of apertures.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47The purpose of this spoon is simply to strain the gravy.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52How much then for this pair of Irish spoons? Stand by.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56They could be yours for £950.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Now THAT is a lot of gravy!
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Over with the Reds, Carol's found something she's rather keen on.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Mark!- Yes?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I want that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Well, what attracts you about it? - Because it's Copenhagen.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It's Copenhagen, yes. Well, we've got the marks for Copenhagen here.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22It's 20th century, around 1930, I guess. What do you think?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Yea, I like it. It's a nice size.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- But... - It depends what price it is really.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29£54.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- You need to get that down.- To?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Well, as low as possible. £45, something like that?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- OK.- Um, but it's quite a nice, clean winter landscape, isn't it
0:11:39 > 0:11:42with the autumnal leaves on the front there.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It looks in very good condition which is important.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49And yes, it might just appeal to a younger buyer as well, so you never know.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Got it right this time then?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Well, I... As I say, you never know.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Mark didn't look too impressed there.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01But with £45 paid, Carol's not a lady to be messed with.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11Ooh, Philip. This is something quite tactile.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Ooh, yeah.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Might be interesting. - What do you think of that?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Is it for taking your boots off?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Girls!- It's a catapult!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Oh!
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Catapult.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26It says here, early 19th century Ivory Coast carving.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I believe that.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- That's West Africa then?- Yeah, yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Nice thing.- It hasn't got the "toom" bit.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36No, you could soon put that on there.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38How old it is difficult to tell.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43It could have just been made in the past 50 years.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That said...
0:12:45 > 0:12:47They've called early 19th century.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I believe that, but it's very difficult to date.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Um...- And price?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Well, they've got £95 on there.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58So if we can buy that for a sensible price?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02£70... £80. You might have some mileage in that.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04We might do very well.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I like that. That's quite interesting, isn't it?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10And unusual, so.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Definitely unusual.- And dual purpose.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Dual purpose... boots, catapult...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17brilliant!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Something for everybody there!
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Hm, a versatile piece... at £69 for the catapult,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25we'll see what the buyers think.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29They've got £213 though left to spend.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Right, you lot.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Listen very carefully, because I'm going to tell you about the bonus buy.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38When the shopping's over, any leftover lolly is given to
0:13:38 > 0:13:45the expert to find that bonus buy which can boost the team's profits later at auction.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50As they expert's lot comes up, the teams have only seconds to decide.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53So, no pressure then!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So, here's Diane. What have you found, Diane?
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Um, a pair of epaulettes. But I don't know much more about them.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Well, I think we can say they're naval epaulettes,
0:14:08 > 0:14:09because we've got the anchor here.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And when we turn them over, oh, look, wonderful,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16we've got Goode's Officers Stores Portsmouth Naval Outfitters.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19And there will be people out there who like this sort of thing.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21They'd look fantastic on the shoulders?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- No. Don't like them. - You don't like them?- No.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25- They're naff.- Oh, they're not naff!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- I think they're wonderful. - I don't like them.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- I think they're lovely. Do you like them? - Yeah, I do like them.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34They're very over the top, with very rich braid.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37But what else could we use them for, I wonder?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I think they'd be an interior designer's piece.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43On curtains Carol, for tie backs?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Not in my house! - Swags.- No?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48No, well you're quite firm about it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I don't like them. I think they're awful.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Well, I think they're fantastic actually.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- I think they're fab. - What would you do with them?
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Well, actually, I live in Brighton, and I'd have them on an outfit.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- What, fancy dress? - All the nice girls love a sailor.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06(Don't like them.)
0:15:06 > 0:15:08But how much are they?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Well, they're a 125 Mark.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Oh, that's a bit much.- I thought you said a hundred and what?- 25.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Pence. No.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- You're not impressed are you?- No.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22It's for the pair, Carol.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I don't think Carol likes them.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27But I do, and you do, and we are running out of time here.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- So I think we've got to go for it really, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- OK. On your head be it! - Or shoulders!
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Still don't like them.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Don't like the joke either!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43£95. That's a lot of weight to carry on your shoulders, Mark.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I don't like 'em.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Oh, hello.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I've just found these two skewers. I don't know if you're...
0:15:52 > 0:15:57What are we saying here? Pair of silver game skewers.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00French, circa 1820. Quite possibly.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03So you think, poke your partner type game do you?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Could be. And then there'd be a grouse wouldn't there?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Oh, very good. You're probably very close with that one.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Doing spatch cocking and pinning these things down. Nice slender ones.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17So it's not going to be for
0:16:17 > 0:16:20anything like a ham or anything like that, is it?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22These are dainty little things.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27You can see the hallmarks on there which are certainly French hallmarks.
0:16:27 > 0:16:291820s... don't know.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35- I'd have to do a bit more checking up on that. They certainly look to be of that sort of period.- Silver.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Certainly, they're silver, yes.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42They'll be quite possibly a lower content silver than English silver.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48So they might be 80% silver as opposed to 95, 92.5%
0:16:48 > 0:16:50which it has to be in England.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53They seem a bit thin, but they are hallmark silver, as you say.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59But £95. What do you think we need to get them for to make any money on the day?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I don't think that £95 is a huge amount.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06They are quite fun things, aren't they?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10So, maybe popular with a sportsman.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Well, they could appeal to the huntin', shootin', fishin' crowd.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17So for the right price we should give it a go? Third item.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- I think it's got some mileage in there.- Good.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Nice things.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Or you could just have some fun with them.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27But I'll grouse all day!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Again! He does that all the time anyway, doesn't he?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Don't you think? It's what you were telling me earlier on!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38£84.50 paid.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Philip's idea of how to use the skewers doesn't seem like a lot of fun to me.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Time please, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Well, it's time for him and it's time's up for our teams.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Let's recap on what the Reds bought. Cheers.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00The foxy ladies' first buy was the scarf ring at £40.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Next, going against the look of disgust on the expert's face,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Carol stood her ground and paid £45 for the Copenhagen vase.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14And home decorating tips aside,
0:18:14 > 0:18:19the epaulettes marched into the Red's bag for £95.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- So you girls, did you have a good time shopping?- We did.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I bet you did. What's your favourite piece, Diane?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I think the fox scarf ring.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Right. That's your favourite. What about you, Carol.- The vase.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- The vase.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36And I think the vase as well actually.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42Well, you've spent a magnificent £180 which is super and I'd like £120 of leftover lolly which is hot.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45That's for you. Now, Mark, what are you going to do with that?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Well, I'm confused of Marlborough because I simply don't know.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53I've got so many things in my mind, so many cabinets to look at. I can't decide what I'm going to buy!
0:18:53 > 0:18:55But you're normally Mr Decisive.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I normally go for something right at the morning...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01and I think, "I need enough money to buy that."
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Today, I can't find a thing.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06So I'm going to have to leave it right till the last minute.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We're excited for you and very good luck.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Meanwhile, let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Glyn thinks an auction room full of flower arrangers
0:19:15 > 0:19:17could be the answer for the £18 vase.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22At £69, the Blues are hoping the catapult
0:19:22 > 0:19:24will launch them into profit.
0:19:24 > 0:19:30Their final item is the pair of £84.50 French silver game skewers.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I hope they don't get stuck on these at the auction.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36So Glyn and Chris, did you have a good time shopping? Was it good?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Absolutely super. - Which is your favourite piece?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- The vase.- The vase. What about you, Glyn?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- I think maybe the catapult. - It's your favourite?- Yes.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Well, that's decisive for you. Which piece is going to make the biggest profit?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I think the boys' toys... the catapult.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52The catapult.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Well, you've spend a £171.50, jolly clever of you and I'd like £128.50
0:19:57 > 0:20:01of leftover lolly which goes straight to Philip Allwood.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Now Phil, hm, how did you get on with these characters today?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Have they been difficult? - Completely mad!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Completely mad! - Oh, that's good then, isn't it?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10- In a nice way. - In a nice way?- I think.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- But just mildly barmy? - Yes. Not mildly.- Not mildly.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16No mild about it!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18What are you going to do with all that cash now?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21It's more than enough for what I've got in mind.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Oh, yes?- Yes.- What would that be?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- I couldn't tell you. Well, I could, but I'd have to shoot you! - Yes, all right then.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- There could be a hint in that actually. You never know! - There isn't.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- You've very enigmatic. - I've led you down the garden path.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Have you?- Yeah.- Won't be the first time. Anyway, very good luck, Philip.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Right then, they've bought their items.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43We're heading off to auction with them where they hope they will make a profit.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47For me, I'm now off somewhere very, very nice.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Welcome to Salisbury in Wiltshire.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Home, of course, to the world famous Salisbury Cathedral.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04And also standing just over the Chorister's Green
0:21:04 > 0:21:07is the beautiful Mompesson House.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15In the late 17th century, Sir Thomas Mompesson,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18local Salisbury MP,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22leased the building where Mompesson House stands today
0:21:22 > 0:21:25from the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28What we see today was completed in 1701
0:21:28 > 0:21:32and has hardly changed in the meanwhile.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37After a rich and illustrious history, Mompesson was bequeathed
0:21:37 > 0:21:43by the last owner, Denis Martineau to the National Trust in 1975.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47But it was only the empty house that was given over to the Trust
0:21:47 > 0:21:51as all the furnishings were left to his family.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00This was customary at Mompesson because this had always been
0:22:00 > 0:22:06a leasehold townhouse rather than an ancient ancestral seat.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11So the absence of inherited furniture was not that unusual.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Over the last three decades the Trust has refurnished the house,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18emulating its former Georgian splendour.
0:22:21 > 0:22:28But it isn't just a question of finding a whole lot of furniture to bring into a house like this.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Often, it's the objects that bring the place to life.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38In 1990, the Trust were bequeathed a wonderful collection of English
0:22:38 > 0:22:4418th century porcelain by a Mrs Adam Smith who was a descendent
0:22:44 > 0:22:50of the Wright-Bessemer family who, of course made their money in steel.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I've made a selection, albeit a very small selection,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56from the 150 pieces which are fun to look at.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What do you think about these?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02This is a pair of figures which are called en bocage
0:23:02 > 0:23:09which means they're sitting in a wooded, leafy glade.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Each figure sits with a tree effectively behind it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18These figures are emblematic of different themes.
0:23:18 > 0:23:24She is emblematic of marriage as she sits with her birdcage on her knee.
0:23:24 > 0:23:30He is emblematic of freedom with a bird he's about to release.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It's interesting, the use of birdcages
0:23:32 > 0:23:35in 17th and 18th century art.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39A girl shown with a birdcage with its door shut
0:23:39 > 0:23:43would indicate that her virtue is still intact.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Were the door open on the birdcage,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50it would indicate that her virtue was not intact.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52In other words, she was no longer a virgin.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57These were produced in the Bow factory, a factory established
0:23:57 > 0:24:04in the 1740s and who were the first to introduce literally ground up
0:24:04 > 0:24:09bone into the paste, the ceramic body that they used
0:24:09 > 0:24:13and modelled into figures such as these.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17It gives an extra plasticity to the clay.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21It enables it to be modelled in considerable detail
0:24:21 > 0:24:25and you have to admit that these lovely, vibrant
0:24:25 > 0:24:29floral sprays and the green individual leaves
0:24:29 > 0:24:31really are dramatic.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Next door, we have an example from the Derby factory.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Equally elaborate but slightly later in date,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42probably dating from around 1760.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47And here we've got Neptune, standing above a dolphin and out of
0:24:47 > 0:24:53the dolphin's mouth spews some water which tumbles over a boulder.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57A boulder which is encrusted in greenish seaweed,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59all rather crisply modelled.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02And then the whole of that surface, the whole of the boulder
0:25:02 > 0:25:06has been applied with these polychrome shells.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10But it wasn't all about decorative objects
0:25:10 > 0:25:12in 18th century English ceramics.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Sometimes, things were functional, like this little pot.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Looks like a bit of cauliflower, doesn't it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Well, that's not accidental.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Because in the 18th century, a whole dining table would be laid up
0:25:24 > 0:25:27with Worcester pots like this,
0:25:27 > 0:25:33which open, either to contain nicely cooked bits of cauliflower
0:25:33 > 0:25:35or asparagus, or whatever,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39or perhaps the sauces that you drizzled on the top.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Do you like a nice cheesy sauce? So do I.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48I wonder whether our teams are going to be similarly cheesy today
0:25:48 > 0:25:51over at the auction.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54We're off to Crewkerne for our auction today.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56And our Blue team have a solid start...
0:25:58 > 0:26:01That's not too bad, girls.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Stand by for the catapult.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- ..while the Reds are settling old scores.- They don't like it, Carol.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09They don't like your vase!
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Last time at 22.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Well, it's great to be in the heart of the West Country down in Somerset
0:26:15 > 0:26:19in Crewkerne at Lawrence's sale room with Richard Kay, our auctioneer today.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Richard, great to see you.- And you Tim. Lovely to welcome you back.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Now, for our Reds, Diane and Carol, their first item is this scarf ring.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30With the lovely little foxy mount. Do you like that?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I do like it. And I think it's ideal for the sort of sales we have here.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Plenty of people in this hunting county who might rather like that.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41And nothing more desirable on a piece of hunting attire
0:26:41 > 0:26:42than the mask of a fox.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45That's encouraging. That's our first item.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47That's with it, Richard. What's the estimate?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51I think that could make £30 to £40 without too much difficulty.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Well, they paid £40 so that's right...- OK.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- By the time you've got two or three people whipped up anything could happen.- Anything.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Now, Copenhagen. Does this stuff sell well down here?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03I don't think that's got tremendous appeal.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09- I think it's rather a dull and uninteresting design on it to be honest.- High quality though it is...
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Beautifully made...- Good stuff, but probably not that easy to sell.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15So if you gird yourself up to your full height,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17what's your best estimate?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19My very best is only £20 to £30.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Yeah. £45 paid you see.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I think they're going to be a bit light on that.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27But, we've got glitz and bling to finish with.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29With our lovely officer's epaulettes.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I'm not sure an officer would want to think that's glitz and bling
0:27:32 > 0:27:33but I take your point.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Shame they're lacking their painted metal tin that they would have been in originally.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Yeah. You've got kiddywinks haven't you?
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Do you have a dressing up box at home?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44I wouldn't put them in a dressing up box. They're too good.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47But I do think they will appeal to the kind of people
0:27:47 > 0:27:49that like to buy items of naval history.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52They're absolutely perfect for that sort of collector.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- OK. So, estimate-wise? - £40 to £60 I would hope.
0:27:55 > 0:28:02OK. £95 paid. I think they paid £95 very speculatively for these and it is a bit of a punt.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05It is a bit of a punt and it is the sort of thing that could make a surprising price.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Yeah, well, we'll keep our eye out for Captain Hornblower.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Let's hope so.- Well, depending on how the epaulettes do, they could well need their bonus buy.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16So let's trot off and have a look at it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19So, girls, you did rather well.
0:28:19 > 0:28:26£180 you spent, £120 went to Mark Stacey. What did he spend it on?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Oh, very delicate this.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I spent it on this little writing box.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34It's a Victorian or Edwardian about 1900-ish.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38But what I particularly like about it - it's so small.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Does need a little bit of work.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43- It's not in pristine condition as you say.- Look at that.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Little bit of work, eh?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Where's the key?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Well, you don't often find keys with this.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- I think you're being too picky. - No, you might want to lock it up.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54You might. I'm sure you could get a key.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56But I rather like this little drawer
0:28:56 > 0:28:58with this flush brass handle.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02It's in mahogany and I think it's rather sweet actually. It's so small.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06And it only cost me £25.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- How much?- Ah! 25.- £25?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- £25.- You were ripped off. - I don't think I was you know.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16I think on a good day that might make £40.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17You reckon?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Carol has this doubting manner about her.
0:29:20 > 0:29:26I don't know if you've noticed this? Is this usual?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- You haven't at all?- Yes!
0:29:29 > 0:29:32What's this? It's broke!
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Oh, Mark, come on... it's broke!
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- Try and rise above that, Carol. - Now, Diane, do you like this?
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- From the outside.- You do.- Yes. - So it's a bit rough round the edges.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45This is the message we're getting from Mark.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48He reckons he paid £25 which is very reasonable.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50All right, very reasonable means...?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- There's a scope there. - Ten pounds. Are we talking £20?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I'd like to see it make £40 actually.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57To 50. There's potentially 50.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Right. It doesn't really matter if you girls like it or not.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Is there a profit in it? He says there is.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Remember that. You don't decide now. You decide later.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10Right now, for the viewers at home let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Mark's little box.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14So Richard, this is a nice small size isn't it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17It is a nice small size and it appears to be quite well made from the outside.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18It's got a nice brass fittings
0:30:18 > 0:30:22and the little brass drawer at the bottom. It's quite promising.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Let's have a look and see what it's like inside, cos that's the critical thing.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Ah well, sadly,
0:30:27 > 0:30:32inside, it's seen better days and I don't know whether many people
0:30:32 > 0:30:35are going want to spend a lot of money on doing that up.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39So I think it might well affect what it will make.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43So, as a sort of tempting "come and buy me" estimate, what would you say?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46I think a tempting "come and buy me" estimate is £15 to £20.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Fair enough.- But it could make a little more if somebody feels
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- like taking it on and spending some time doing it up.- Yes, quite.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Loving, at home, restoration.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Tender, loving care.- That's it.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Mark Stacey paid £25. He's hopeful. I've a funny feeling he will turn a small profit...
0:31:01 > 0:31:03I think there will be a profit in that.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Which is absolutely lovely.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Anyway, that is it for the Reds.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08And now for the Blues.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10This is a seriously wacky mixture
0:31:10 > 0:31:12of objects don't you think...
0:31:12 > 0:31:13for Glyn and Chris?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Very strange selection of objects.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Very different from each other.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19First up is the vase which looks a bit lonely to me.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21The vase is certainly lonely.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22It would have had at least a partner
0:31:22 > 0:31:25and possibly been one of a garniture at some time
0:31:25 > 0:31:29with a clock that would have stood between it and its mate.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32But more critically, it's not in great condition.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34And that will put people off a little.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37I think as a lonesome item on its own
0:31:37 > 0:31:39it might struggle to make more than £10.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44- So £18 as a purchase price is on the rich side.- A little bit.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49OK. The next item is this really intriguing wee fellow.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52That's come from somewhere really quite far away from here I'm sure.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Quite where, I don't know.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- No.- It looks rather African.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- I think its £15 to £20.- Is that all?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01With a speculative scratch of the chin!
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Right. Well, we'll scratch fairly hard then for this because they paid £69.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I think that would be a strong price.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10It's a good old crack that, isn't it?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13And their last item is I think equally unusual.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Because I can't remember the last time I saw French game skewers.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- No.- Nothing to stop the French having game, of course.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Nothing to stop them having skewers.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Silver, French game skewers pitching up. That's quite unusual isn't it?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28It is. I don't think people will buy these to use as skewers any more.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31They might have done in the early 20th century.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34But nowadays they make stylish letter openers.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- I can't see more than £20 in them to be honest.- Oh dear.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42There's going to be deep depression on the Blue team. They paid £84.50.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- I think that seems like plenty. - It does.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46It's a lot of money isn't it?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Even I have to admit that's quite a lot for two French game skewers.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Still, there we are.
0:32:51 > 0:32:56There's no predicting as they say, and we can't tell whether they're going to need their bonus buy
0:32:56 > 0:32:58so let's have a look at it anyway.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03So Chris, Glyn, you spent an eccentric £171.50.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06You gave £128.50 to P Allwood.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Philip, what did you spend it on?
0:33:08 > 0:33:13It's interesting you use the word eccentric because there we have it,
0:33:13 > 0:33:17a nice little snuff box made out of a hoof.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Open it up and bung your snuff in there.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21And when you're out riding your horse...
0:33:21 > 0:33:27it's got to be country-ish hasn't it? I thought it was a lovely thing - lovely quality.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29And you spent how much on it?
0:33:29 > 0:33:36£50. But I think, actually, in a right sort of, sporty sort of sale you'd get a profit on that.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38I think it's a nice little piece.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Excellent.- I think for the snuff box collectors...
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Yes, that's the point isn't it? There are a lot of snuff box collectors.- Yeah.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47It's a great little collectable. In a small house, small flat,
0:33:47 > 0:33:51you can have two to three hundred of these little snuff boxes, no trouble at all.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- Easily.- It's much easier than paintings or pieces of furniture.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57They're forever looking for variety.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Just slip it away. Yeah, good.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- It's gone.- Slip it back. thank you very much!
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Anyway, you don't decide now.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Philip Allwood's little box.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- Well, well, well.- Isn't that sweet?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14That is delightful. It's a beautifully made little thing.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19In fact it's nature made of course because it is half of a hoof,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21of a split hoof.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23And it opens to hold snuff perhaps,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26or something similar anyway.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Yes. So, what do you think for this little delight?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31I think that's a bit of fun and it could make £30 to £50.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Brilliant. Philip Allwood paid £50.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36If you get somebody stirred up he could easily make it couldn't he.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I think he could trot off very nicely.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Oh, ho! So trite!
0:34:45 > 0:34:49..For the last time at 80. All done.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50- All right girls?- Yes.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- This is fun isn't it?- It is.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Have you ever seen so many people jammed into one room?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- No.- It's good isn't it?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Even you're impressed aren't you, Carol?- Yes.- That's lovely!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Anyway, first up is the scarf ring.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Mark's item and here it comes.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Lot 145 is the Edwardian fox mask scarf ring.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Start me on this one if you will at £30. £30 for it?
0:35:13 > 0:35:17£30, £30 I see, £35, are you bidding, sir?
0:35:17 > 0:35:20£40? £40 near the camera.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22£40 and I'm selling.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25At £40, last time at 40. Any more?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27At £40, all done.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28- Bad luck.- What did we pay?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- £40.- Even, then.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Quite right. here comes Copenhagen.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Lot 146 is a Copenhagen vase.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Shall we say £20 for that?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39£20 for it? 15 if it helps.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41£15 anywhere?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44They don't like it, Carol.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45They don't like your vase!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47At £10. Thank you. £10.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49I'm selling now at £10.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Maiden bid at 10 only.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Last time at £10 and I'm selling.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Last time.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Oh, dear! Minus 35 on that, Carol.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Now the epaulettes.- Here we go.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02OK. Come on!
0:36:02 > 0:36:07Lot 147 is a pair of Edwardian naval officer's epaulettes.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10And start me here at £30 for these.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14£30 for them. At £30. 20 if it helps.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- £20.- No!- At £20.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1910 if you wish.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23At £10. A spoken bid at 10. I can sell at £10 only.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Will anyone say 12? £10 only.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Last time then at £10 only.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30£10 all done.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33£10 is minus 85.
0:36:34 > 0:36:3910, 11, that is minus £120 overall, girls.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- We're doing well then! - You spent 180 and you're minus 120.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46This is not a great start to the night. What are you going to do about the cabinet?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- We'll go with it.- We'll go with it. We're going to go...
0:36:49 > 0:36:50- We've got to go... - You've got to go...
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- We've got to! - Broken cabinet with no key.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54You're going to go with it.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Yes.- I think that's a wise move.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58We're going with the bonus buy.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01The estimate is £15 to £20.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Mark paid £25.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06But I've a funny feeling it's going to do quite well. Here it comes.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Lot 151 is the mahogany stationery cabinet.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13And start me here at £15 for it.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18£15. £15 I see. 18 now. 20.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23No, £22, bid at £22, 25, 28.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Are you bidding sir? No, 28. Are you bidding madam? 30.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30£30. It's in front of me at 30.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33I'm selling now at £30. £30 and I'm selling.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Last time at 30.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Well, done, Mark. £30.- That's a little something...
0:37:37 > 0:37:44That's £5 on that which means overall you are minus £115.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Minus 115. Yeah.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- Yeah.- Well, if you're going to do it...- We'll still win!
0:37:50 > 0:37:55Well, you never know, girls. That could be a winning score if it goes really bad for the Blues!
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- It could be. Don't tell the Blues a thing!- No.- Let's not put them out of their agony.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Now Glyn, Chris, do you know how the Reds did?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- No idea. - You don't know how they did.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13That's just as well. Good.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16First up is your vase Chris, and here it comes.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Lot 166 is an Eichwald vase, of art nouveau design.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23And shall we say £8 for that.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27£8 for it? £8 if you will. £5 then.
0:38:27 > 0:38:33£5. £8 now? Are you bidding sir? 10, 12, £12 to my right at 12.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Selling at 12. All done at £12 only.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Last time at 12.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Minus £6. That's not too bad.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Sand by for the catapult.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Lot 167.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51This is an unusual 19th century Ivory Coast catapult
0:38:51 > 0:38:53with native mask decoration.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57£20 is bid on it. £20 I have. It's on commission at 20.
0:38:57 > 0:39:0525? 30, 5, at £35. At £35 and I'm selling it in the room now at £35.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08All done then. The last time at £35.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Marvellous. That is 29 + 5 back.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13That is £34 down the toilet!
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- That's a loss!- Next, the skewers.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Lot 168
0:39:19 > 0:39:23is two late 19th century French silver game skewers.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26And bids - start me here at £25.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Can I say 30 for them? It's at £25 on commission.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33At 25, and I'm selling now at £25.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35At £25 for the last time.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37All done then at 25.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42£25. Bad luck! That's minus £59.50.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Which means that overall you're minus £99.50!
0:39:46 > 0:39:48So what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:39:48 > 0:39:52If we're going to crash and burn, we've got to crash and burn.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55You're going to go with it.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- You paid £50.- £50...did I?
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Yes.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01And they're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04I think it's a good decision this going with the bonus buy.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06I've a funny feeling about this one.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11Lot 172. Horn snuff box with a horseshoe motif.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Lot 172.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16And £25 for this. £25 for it.
0:40:16 > 0:40:2230 now, 35, 40, 45, 50, 5.
0:40:22 > 0:40:2555, gentleman seated at 55.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28And I'm selling now at £55. All done at 55.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33- We're in profit! £55!- Marvellous!
0:40:33 > 0:40:37£5 profit. Very good.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Which means overall you're minus £94.50.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- That could be a winning score. - It could.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- It could.- Yes, we'll find out in a minute.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Well, we have had a spectacular day today haven't we!
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Thumping great losses all round.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02I mean, unbelievable!
0:41:02 > 0:41:08We've got teams here who managed to lose at least half if not more of the original money they spent!
0:41:08 > 0:41:11What's going on? What do you mean, it's always like this?
0:41:11 > 0:41:12It's not at all!
0:41:12 > 0:41:18Anyway, now to reveal the team that has the largest losses today and they are the Reds.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Oh, no!
0:41:22 > 0:41:27- Yeah. You spend £180 and you lost £115.- Oh, no!
0:41:28 > 0:41:35You lost on every single item or you wiped your face with the exception of the bonus buy.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Now, you're members of the Mark Stacey appreciation society.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43- Is this a society, I ask myself, that's going to grow?- No!
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Not after today!
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Now, you can't blame the old boy for everything.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53You were just unlucky in the auction. Unlucky big time!
0:41:53 > 0:41:58But you're being great sports, girls and thank you very much for joining us. It's been wonderful.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02But the victors, who only managed to lose £94.50.
0:42:02 > 0:42:08You only spent £171.50, you managed to lose £94.50.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10You're pleased about this aren't you?
0:42:10 > 0:42:12You did however get a profit.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Allwood made a profit of a 5 pound note on the horn snuffbox.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17You'd have been very upset if that hadn't made a profit wouldn't you?
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- I would. - What you don't know about snuff boxes is nobody's business.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26- Absolutely nobody's business! Anyway, had a good time?- Fabulous! - Lovely to see you on the show.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30ALL: Yes!
