0:00:02 > 0:00:03No guessing as to where I am today.
0:00:03 > 0:00:07Red kilt, blue kilt, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:32 > 0:00:38We're in Scotland's biggest city, Glasgow, at the Clydeside Antique Centre.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Now, this is no wee antique centre, this. Oh, no!
0:00:42 > 0:00:4425,000 square feet
0:00:44 > 0:00:48crammed with objects, giving our teams plenty of opportunity
0:00:48 > 0:00:53to poke around and find something to make a big profit with. Och aye!
0:00:53 > 0:00:58The teams will have just one hour to hunt out three items and 300 Scottish pounds to spend.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03They will then head to the auction house where their items will be sold
0:01:03 > 0:01:07with absolutely no reserve and they might or might not make a profit.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11For the Reds, we've got friends Alan and David,
0:01:11 > 0:01:16and for the Blues, we've got mother and daughter Frances and Lisa.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- Welcome, guys.- Hi, Tim. - Very nice to see you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Yes.- Why did you want to come on, Alan?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25My aunt, she used to run an antique store in my hometown of Strathaven
0:01:25 > 0:01:29and when I was off school, I used to go down and help her out in the shop.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And what sort of thing will you be looking out for today?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I think I'll maybe look to pick up something silver
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- as a safe bet, something that will hold its value.- Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And I think Dave here wants to find some toys for himself.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Hopefully, yeah. Something nostalgic, perhaps.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Brilliant. So, what sort of things do you collect?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Since I was about, oh, six or seven years old
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I've collected Star Wars toys.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56When I was a kid I absolutely loved the films, and I was lucky enough when I was younger
0:01:56 > 0:02:00that you could pick figures and ships up for next to nothing.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04So, will you be going for some Star Wars material, or toys, if you can find it today?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I can't imagine we would find anything like that,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10so I think we're maybe going to look for something a bit older,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- possibly, '50s...- A bit more traditional.- '50s or earlier.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh, '50s, really, really old(!)
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Oh, ancient, yeah!- Now for the Blues.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24So, Frances, you and your daughter have had kind of parallel careers recently, haven't you?
0:02:24 > 0:02:30Yes, we both worked for a while in the housing association
0:02:30 > 0:02:34and then when I decided to become a student, she decided a year later
0:02:34 > 0:02:35that she wanted to do the same.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37And what are you studying?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I'm studying furniture restoration at the moment
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- And are you going to stick at that? - Well, to do the degree
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I have to go to High Wycombe, to New Bucks University.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- And, I guess, Lisa, you're moving with your mother to High Wycombe?- Yes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Och aye! And would you be doing a bit of furniture restoration
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- in High Wycombe like your mum? - No.- No?- Actually, no.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Ah! What are you going to do, darling?
0:02:59 > 0:03:00I'm doing Acting For New Media.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Isn't acting just acting?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Well, no, this is acting for this century involving...
0:03:06 > 0:03:11In theatres now, you can get multimedia, where you get 3D effects.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Also working with green screen, as well.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Great. We're going to have fun today.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Now, the money moment. Here's your £300. £300 apiece.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21And off you go, and very good luck.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26So, will these canny Scots have what it takes to impress me? Ah!
0:03:26 > 0:03:31We're not leaving them to take the high road on their own.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34They'll also have the help of an expert who will give them some good advice.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Well, we always live in hope with these two!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Paul Laidlaw will be helping the Reds
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and with the Blues is Keith Baker.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Well, we've got an hour to go, so we'd better make the most of it. Let's see what we can find.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55There you go. You take the big lump.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Frequently these are printed pieces...are marked
0:03:58 > 0:04:00by the company that manufactured them.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Is that it there?- Made in the USA. I mean, no surprises there.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Could you buy that? - Depending on the price, it's the kind of thing I would go for.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- It's quite charming.- It certainly jumps out at me. It's eye catching.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11What kind of price would you reckon?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Uncharted territory for me, so I'll go on instinct.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I think that could be worth £50 to...£80.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20What do you reckon? It's a nice big lump.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Condition's OK.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Have you got a price on your bit?
0:04:24 > 0:04:29I think if you head that way, you'll find out who owns that
0:04:29 > 0:04:30and what they want for it.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35After some hard negotiation, Dave buys the truck for £50,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38so that's one down, two to go for them.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Now, is Keith in for a bumpy ride?
0:04:40 > 0:04:46Anything that's interesting or unusual tends to be what I go for.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50This is what we'll look like if we lose, of course.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52LAUGHTER
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Ah, Keith, you started off looking on the bright side,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58don't give up just yet!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Is that silver, or...?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I don't think it is. It should have some little...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Tiny little silver mark on it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Do you think you'd think, "They're interesting," and bid for them?
0:05:08 > 0:05:13I do, I think they're quite interesting. So, do you reckon they're old at all, or...?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oh, yeah. I'd have thought they'd probably be roundabout 1900 in date.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18They're all based on paintings.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21So, let's hope they're not too expensive
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and then we can be very pleased that you spotted them.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24- Do you like them?- Yeah, I do.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26So what do you think in terms of value?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30I could see that they could perhaps make £100 or something like that.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Let's find someone and see if they can give us a price on those three, shall we?- Sure.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- 65 on these. - That's the best, is it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Yeah.- I think we could make something on them.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45- I think you spotted them and you find them equally charming, don't you?- Yeah, they're lovely.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I've probably underpriced them now you've accepted it so easily!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Well done, Blues. First item in the bag, but not much haggling, though.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Once more, it's toys that gets the boys' undivided attention.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- What do you think of that? - Arnold Palmer.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Let's see what's inside.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- It's looking good, is it not?- Yeah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Well, what do we have?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10That is a golfing toy, a trigger action chap.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Here, watch this. There you go.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14What a stroke!
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Independent action on the head. Look at the quality.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19That beats a PlayStation,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21This dates to...
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- late '60s, is it? - Late '60s.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Early '70s. And what else do we get for our money? They're clearly...
0:06:28 > 0:06:29It's in good nick.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32That looks like a water feature.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34A couple of bunkers there, as well.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Rough and bunkers.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- What do you think to that? - It's got a lot of character to it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- A lot of golf enthusiasts would love that.- It's a real collector's item.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well, it comes down to the price, OK?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46And the price is...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- £20.- £20.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We're interested at 20. Anything we can get off,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55it's a further bonus, but we'll try and make that happen, shall we?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Oh, aye.- Let's go that way, find the guy that owns this.- Fantastic.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01No discount for the boys, I'm afraid.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05It seems £20 was par for the course for the golf game.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- So, you like that, do you?- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- What about you, do you like it? - I'm not too keen on it.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Aren't you? So, what do you like about it?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I like the shape.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18I like the butterflies.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- It's lovely.- 1970s.- Yeah.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27It says on the label by Bernard Rooke, so he's a contemporary potter in that time.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32You see, very abstract totem pole-like sort of lamp bases and things like that by him.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34The big question is, how much is it
0:07:34 > 0:07:37and how much do you reckon it'll make at auction?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40It says £90. Now, I can't say I've seen a vase like this before.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I've seen lots of the lamp bases.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I'm not entirely sure what this would make.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46We need to get the price down to give it a chance.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Hi. We love this vase.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Yes, you do, do you?- I do.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Is that the best price you could do on that for me?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58No. That's the ticket price.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02So, to you, seeing as you're bargain hunting, we'll do it for 65.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Thanks very much.- Thank you so much. - You're so welcome.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Both teams now have got two items.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13The Blues have spent 130, and the Reds have spent just £70.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Let's keep going then, shall we? Thanks, let's go.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Look, it's a letter scale. - You like the scales, don't you?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25I think it's because...
0:08:25 > 0:08:31now everything's sort of digital and it's the movement and, you know, the mechanism, and it's so precise.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35I find it as charming as you, but I don't know whether it would have any auction value, really.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Shall we think about it, just in case?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Come on, ladies. After a leisurely start, time is ticking away,
0:08:42 > 0:08:47which is something the Reds are aware of, so they're considering a job lot.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Right, well, let's do it in the order we found them in.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Your Anglo Indian spectacles carrier.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Now, you can see how it works.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58That's the clip for the waistband or lady's belt.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00And that's assayed at London.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Date letter M, so that's London 1888.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Is there any significance of the patterns on it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Well, it tells a story, doesn't it just?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Because those are Indian deities.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Oh, right, OK.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- It might be worth a punt. - I think it's on the money, really.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I think it's worth 40 to 60 at auction.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Now, next we found our Victorian tea service.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Silver plate on copper.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I see a problem straight away. A bit of damage there.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'm not too sure about that. There seems to be a lot of damage.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Fall back on our little dish here. Now, that's a nice little object.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Simple, yet effective.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38A touch of the moderne there. Not quite high deco.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Now, what's our year?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It was assayed at Birmingham.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It looks like a... capital F.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47You have a look at that and I'll grab the book.
0:09:47 > 0:09:501930. Bang on!
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Now, the weight...
0:09:53 > 0:09:58It's not a paperweight. It's got some meat, but price, £38.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59I think that's easy.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02So, what's our verdict or consensus now?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I think we would like to see what price we could get for
0:10:06 > 0:10:09the spectacle holder and what we called the bonbon dish.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Yeah. Shall I go try and find someone?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Yes, sure. - You guys keep looking, OK?- Yeah, OK.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Look at the owl on here.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Keith finally managed to drive Frances away from the scales.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Probably a pottery you've heard of. - But she's not happy about it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- It's Poole pottery. Have you heard of Poole?- Yes.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Quite nice, isn't it, really?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Let's say... I haven't looked at the back yet, but I hope it's Poole now I've said that!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Yeah, there you are, Poole Aegean ware.
0:10:38 > 0:10:391960s, I think these are.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Very often they will have sort of painters' marks on the back,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46but surprisingly this one hasn't got it.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51It's quite a charming image and, you know, owls are sort of very popular with people.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55But that's £105. It's probably about the right price.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00But the scales, I like the scales, but I don't know whether they... They might not be sort of...
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- auctionable, really.- No.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06But this might be a consideration if we could get the price down.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09So, we'll try and get someone to give us a price on that.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12The girls might not give a hoot for the owl dish,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16but with only minutes left, they'll have to make a quick decision.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20The boys, however, are spoilt for choice.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22The bonbon dish will have a more universal appeal.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Your private buyer is your buyer for the bonbon dish.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28They're the people with money to spend.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I think your spectacles case, that's going to the trade.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35So, I think we should probably go with our head over our heart and go with the bonbon dish.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm going to leave it. I've said enough.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Do we go for the safe bet, or... - I think we go with the bonbon dish.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43We'll go bonbon dish, yeah.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45So, the Reds have their third item.
0:11:45 > 0:11:52Keith's having a last ditch attempt to persuade the Blues that the owl is a safe bet before time runs out.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Here it is, the horrible owl. The very horrible owl.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Frances is adamant, but can Lisa throw logic into the mix?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04For the price that we're getting it for and the fact that it's Poole I think we should go for it.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- I think... - £70, I think it was, wasn't it?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10That's a real serious drop on the asking price of 105.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Happy with that?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Yeah. We'll go with you on this one.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I wouldn't say happy was the word, but, yeah!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- My head's on the line if we make a mistake, is it?- Yeah.- OK.
0:12:20 > 0:12:26And the boys have paid their £38 for the bonbon dish just in the nick of time.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, I have to tell you, boys, time's up. Shopping's over.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33That's us got our last item.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- What, you just bought it?- Yeah. - You jammy toads. Anyway, that's it!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Let's have another look at what the Reds bought.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43The Reds loved the truck,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47but will this tin toy make them any profit on the £50 paid?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49At £20 for the golf game,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I reckon the Reds could hit a hole in one at the auction.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56And after much deliberation, Alan got his piece of silver
0:12:56 > 0:12:59with the Reds buying the bonbon dish for £38.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Hi, there! On this programme we have something called the bonus buy.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09You don't know what the bonus buy is?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Where have you been for the last two years? On the moon?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17The bonus buy, simply put, is the expert taking any leftover money
0:13:17 > 0:13:22from the shopping and going off and finding a surprise item
0:13:22 > 0:13:25which he produces at the auction and if the team go for it
0:13:25 > 0:13:28and it makes a profit, they get to keep the profit.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33If they go for it and it makes a loss, well, frankly, that's just tough.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well, that's enough sitting around from me.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Let's see how much leftover lolly the Reds have got for Paul.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44£192 of leftover lolly, please.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47There we go. £192, Paul.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52Tip that in there. What are you going to do with that cash, £192?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I've spied something that's a really pleasing decorative object.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- I think the guys will love it. - Well, good luck with that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04And, Paul, thank you. Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Three satisfied bargain hunters.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Well, almost!
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Lisa was delighted with her French engravings at £65.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Frances finally got her way,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18paying the same price for the butterfly vase.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22This £70 beauty whipped up some strong opinions, but who's going
0:14:22 > 0:14:26to be eating their words at auction? Will it be Keith or Frances?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Well, you spent a magnificent £200, girls.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34You are great. £100 piece of leftover lolly goes to KB.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37What are you going to do with that, Keith Baker?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Try and find something to set the world alight.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Good luck with that, Keith.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48We're heading across town to the Great Western Auction Rooms
0:14:48 > 0:14:52to see what our auctioneer Anita Manning thinks of our teams' lots.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Now, our team Alan and David, they went with Paul Laidlaw, your countrymen,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and the first item is this removal van.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04This was made by Marx toys company, an American company.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06They mass produced these toys.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09They were never expensive at the time,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13and this one comes from perhaps the 1950s, 1960s.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15How do you rate it money-wise?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I've estimated £40 to £60.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22- Well, £50 was paid by the team. - Yeah.- And they're hopeful.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25And they've also gone for another wacky toy by the same manufacturer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28We seem to have an articulated golfer here whizzing along.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- This is Arnold Palmer.- Arnold Palmer.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32We've been playing with it all week!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- How's your swing?- Not very good! - How much do you think it'll bring?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I think we've estimated it at 20 to 30.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- £20 paid.- A good buy.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I've a funny feeling it's going to do very well, but we shall see.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Yes.- And, lastly, the little silver bonbon dish. Classic, isn't it?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's such a sweet little thing with this castellated rim
0:15:51 > 0:15:54and the little handles, which remind me of drawbridges.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Well, they paid a princely £38.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- How do you rate that? - That's very good.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03I've estimated it at 50 to 70, so I think they did very well.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Well, just in case it goes belly up, we ought to go and have a look at the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12You gave Paul £192, what did you spend it on?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13I love this.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- It looks lovely.- Yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15It's a clock case.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Don't be alarmed by the fact that there's no mechanism in there.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Mechanisms are universal and easily acquired.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25We're looking at a little diamond here, let me assure you.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29This is bronze spelter, circa 1920 by my reckoning,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32but the modelling there, I think, is tip-top.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- It's quite nice to look at, I suppose.- Quite nice!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I suppose when you say you could put a clock in there, it's functional.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42It cost me £25.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Superb.- Well, you don't have to punt on it right now.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51You decide later. For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Anita, all you need is a clock movement to go in it because it's a handsome case, isn't it?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00I think it's lovely. It has the art deco influence on the base here.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- So, how do you rate Mr Laidlaw's bonus buy?- Estimated 40 to 60.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08He'll be delighted about that because he only paid £25.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues, Frances and Lisa.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Their first item are these three weird French plates...- Yes.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Yes. They would have been the engraving plates, perhaps for bookplates because of their size.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23They're nice and neat.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24- Difficult to estimate.- Yes.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- 50 to 80?- Very good. £65 paid.- Yeah.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29So, it's pretty well on the button. Great.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35Now, what about the Poole Aegean pottery plaque, really, not a plate?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Yes, it is a wall plate, and Poole is very popular just now,
0:17:38 > 0:17:43and this period of Poole, from the 1960s, is hot.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Is it? Hmm!
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Well, were they wise to pay £70 for it?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Well, it wasn't too dear.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- I've estimated at 60 to 80, so we're still in the ballpark. - They're right in the middle.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Yes.- And the last item is this rather chunky vase.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04I like studio pottery. This one was done by Bernard Rooke.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07They are collectable. People do like them.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Estimate on it 50 to 70.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12OK, £65 paid.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16So, pretty well throughout all three items they're on the button.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- But, as we know, the auction can be... - HE LAUGHS
0:18:19 > 0:18:25..an extraordinary experience, so I guess we'd better check out the bonus buy.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Now, Frances and Lisa, you spent £200.- Yes, we did.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32And you give £100 to Keith Baker to find your bonus buy. What did he buy you?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36THEY LAUGH
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I wanted to buy that! - You wanted to buy this, didn't you?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43And we sort of steered you away for something else,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46but I thought it would be interesting to take this as the bonus buy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Have another look at it, because you liked the mechanical way it worked, didn't you?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54So, what was it again that you said you thought it was for?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Well, it's a postal scales.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- How much did you spend?- £30.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01That's not bad.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04For viewers at home let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- They're not unattractive, are they? - I think they're lovely.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13- They have a sculptural quality about them.- Yes. And in good nick.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Appealing to the eye.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19All right, you sold it to me, what do you think you're going to sell it for in the auction?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- I've estimated 25 to 40.- Keith paid £30 and he's reckoning on a profit.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I think he stands a fair chance of getting it, don't you?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31What interests me, Anita, is how you see the market at the moment.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Are we likely to get a good result today?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I know that the auction will be busy.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40The bidding will be fierce and I will be doing my best.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Gosh!
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Now, Alan and David, how are you feeling?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- All right.- Really good. - Are you hot to trot?
0:19:52 > 0:19:53- Oh, yeah.- Excellent.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Anyway, first up is the American tinplate removal van,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57and here it comes.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03An American tinplate toy and it's by Marx toys of the USA.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05It's in perfect condition.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Start me at £20, then. 20 bid. 30. 40.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12£40.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Any advance on 40?- Oh, dear.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24£50 and wiped its face.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27No profit, no loss. Well done, Paul. Arnold Palmer, now.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Again it's the Marx toys company, ladies and gentlemen.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37It's the official Arnold Palmer Pro Shot Golf Game.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Hours of endless fun.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Start me at 20. 20 bid. 30.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Any advance on £30?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Any advance on 30 for Arnold Palmer?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I'll take five. 35.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Any advance on 35? All done at 35.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- 35.- Well done.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00£35. You are plus £15. Well done, Paul Laidlaw.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03That's very fair. Now, the bonbon dish.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Are you going to double your money or not?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Here we go.- It's art deco.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13It's by James Dixon & Son, one of the best silversmiths in Sheffield.

0:21:26 > 0:21:2860. I'll take it in five.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Oh, 65.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Mr Bottomley, 65.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- 65, fresh bidder. 70.- Yes!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38He is a punter.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Any advance? 75.- 75!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Come on, keep going!
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- 75. 80. £80.- This is a battle.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49With you, sir, at £80. Any advance on £80? £80.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53£80 is splendid, isn't it?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57So, 38's two short of 40, you've made £42 on that.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00£42! 42, 52, 57.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48He's a genius, and he's a legend.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51A genius and a legend! That's quite something, isn't it?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- So, Keith, your Aegean Poole pottery plate with the wise old owl on it.- Yeah.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Are you still comfy with that, then?
0:23:12 > 0:23:17I am. People collect owls, people collect Poole, I think it's got at least two things going for it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19First lot coming up and here it comes.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24The Poole Aegean wall plate with the owl decoration.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42All done at £70? £70.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Well done, Keith! On the nose.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Wiped its face. No profit, no loss.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48He's looking relieved, though!
0:23:48 > 0:23:52160, ladies and gentlemen, a charming lot.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Three mounted engraved metal plaques.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Start me at £50. £50 for the engravings. £50, surely.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02£40, then. 40 bid. 50.
0:24:02 > 0:24:0460. 70.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06£70.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Any advance on £70? All done at £70?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- £70.- Well done, Lisa.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15That's perfect.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19You have a £5 profit, which is very good. Look at how pleased she is!
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Bernard Rooke, a London potter, ladies and gentlemen.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Will you start me at £50? 30, then.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- 30 bid.- This is not looking so hot.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Any... 40. 50.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35£50. Any advance on 50?
0:24:35 > 0:24:40I'll take five. 55. 60. 65.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- 65.- You're there!
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Well done.- 70, fresh bidder.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Any advance on £70?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49All done at £70? £70.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Well done, Frances.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56£70, it's a £5 profit, which is brilliant. £5 on that.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01So overall then, guys, you have £10 profit, which is very good, isn't it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05The estimates versus what you paid were not brilliant, all right?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08You could have made some losses. You've come out with a tenner.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12There's nothing to be ashamed of. That could be a winning score.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14What are you going to do about these postal scales?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Do you want to bank your £10, or risk it with the postal scales?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- What do you want to do?- Stick with what we've got. What do you think?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I think we'll stick with what we've got.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25A Canadian postal scales set.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Can we say 20?
0:25:27 > 0:25:3020 bid. Any advance on 20? 25. 30.
0:25:30 > 0:25:3335. 40. £40.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Any advance on £40?- It's a profit.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Any advance on £40? All done at £40?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41£40.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Oh, bad luck, girls. £40 it made.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It made a profit of £10.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51You could have doubled your takings. You should have trusted Keith!
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Anyway, there we are. You've made an overall profit of £10.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57That could be a winning score. Please, don't talk to the Reds, OK?
0:25:57 > 0:25:58- OK.- OK.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Have they been talking to one another? Have you been having a chat?- No.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13So, neither of you know quite what the scale of your winnings are versus the other?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17I have to reveal that the team that is the runner up today are the Blues.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20You made a profit of a tenner.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25You could have made £20 if you'd trusted Keith but, nevertheless,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29you decided to go against him and you have a profit of a tenner.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30And there it is. Enjoy it.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Thank you very much for joining us. But the winners today are the boys!
0:26:33 > 0:26:36And quite substantial profits you've made, too, haven't you?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Overall, up £82.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Look at the face! - Pretty chuffed!
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Pretty chuffed!
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I'd say you're chuffed, though, that's fantastic.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Are you going to do this professionally in the future?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- We might do, yeah.- We might do.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- We've don't want to put Paul out of business.- No, no, no, quite.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- It's been brilliant fun. - It's been fantastic.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58OK, great. Here's your £82, anyway.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Brilliant. Thanks very much for joining us on the show.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunt, yes?- Yes!
