0:00:02 > 0:00:04Well, hello there. It's that time of day again.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07How stupendous.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08There's just about time for us
0:00:08 > 0:00:14to enjoy the nature, the beauty, the tranquillity. Ah...
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Ha! That's enough of that drivel!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello, there. You join us in sunny Norfolk.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53There are over 400 stalls here
0:00:53 > 0:00:57at the Royal Norfolk Antiques and Collectables Fair,
0:00:57 > 0:01:02which means that our teams today are certainly going to have their work cut out.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Do you know something? I wouldn't have it any other way.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Coming up on today's show...
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The stall holders stand their ground.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Why not?- You open your mouth again, it's 90 quid.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The Blues get lost at the fair.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20We've lost our expert. Where's Charles?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And the Reds buckle under pressure.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Go up and buy something.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- It's your turn.- I want more time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We haven't got more time.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But everyone's in for a surprise at the auction.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- I can't believe this. - Yes! Rock and roll!
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I've got £300 for each of today's teams.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43I bet you'd like to get your greasy mitts on this lot.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Well, the teams will have an hour to buy three items which they hope
0:01:47 > 0:01:50will make them maximum profit away at the auction.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- For the Reds, we've got to Tim and Sula. Welcome.- Hello.- Hi.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And for the Blues, we've got Deborah and Sioux.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Hello.- Hello.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Now, you two, how did you first meet?
0:02:04 > 0:02:09I met Tim while I was stacking shelves in our local convenience store.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11We were both stacking shelves.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Quite. And it's stuck together ever since?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Yeah, we've got a similar sort of dry sense of humour,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20very sarcastic. But he's a lot tighter than me.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- What do you mean, "tighter"?- Cos he doesn't spend his money.- Oh, I see.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25That's why I need to have the money.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28If you gave it to him, he wouldn't spend it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- We want you to spend lots. - I want to spend lots.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- How do you think you're going to do, Sula?- Really well.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36And what in particular do you collect, Sula?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- I do collect teddies. - Hence our friend here.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I've brought my builders bear with his builder's backside.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- He speaks as well.- So, what does he say, our Bob the Builder?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Do you want to listen to him? - Give it a squeeze, then.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52'Come on, gorgeous, give us a kiss.'
0:02:52 > 0:02:57"Come on, gorgeous, give us a kiss"?! Is that what your builder gets up to?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Yes.- Disgraceful. So, what sort of things do you get up to, Tim?
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- At the minute, I do a lot of amateur dramatics with local theatre companies.- What have you just done?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I've recently done West Side Story at the Theatre Royal in Norwich.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- I'm rehearsing for The Full Monty at the minute.- Are you?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- D'you know what The Full Monty is? - I do know what it is...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Have you seen the film? - I have, but we don't want that.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- This is a family show. - We're not in Sheffield.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24What about buying and selling things?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27You're experienced in making profits, too, aren't you?
0:03:27 > 0:03:35The biggest profit I've made was I bought an old sort of '70s bomber jacket for about £5.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Wore it for a year, then thought, "I'm going to have a clear-out,"
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- and I sold it for £90.- Did you?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Two experienced people on the team.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- We'll find out later. - Well, very good luck.- Thank you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Now, for the Blues, girls.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53It's the NHS, Sioux, that we have to thank for bringing you two girls together, is that right?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Yes, it is. We've been working together 22 years now.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- What do you do in the NHS? - We're both psychiatric nurses.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Oh, Lordy, you've got me worked out, then.- Absolutely, yes.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07So you do all kinds of stuff together, in work and out of work?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Yes, in work, there's only two of us in a team and we're it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13And out of work, we do lots of walking.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18We like to go to Derbyshire, walking with our puppies and our husbands, if they're available.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- In that sort of order?- Yes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Deborah, it says here that your dog is spoilt for clothing.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- What's all that about?- She does like to wear the odd bandana.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32She's got ones with her name on, different prints.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- But Sioux doesn't approve of it.- No.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Her puppy doesn't wear the bandanas.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You're bit of a hoarder, aren't you?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41A little bit. Don't like to throw anything away.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Do you ever sell anything? - We did a few years ago.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49We tend to hoard everything up in the loft and have a little bit of a clear-out every so often.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Lots of the children's toys.
0:04:51 > 0:04:57And we took those of to a car-boot sale and actually made £500, so it was well worth hoarding.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Sioux, I have to ask you about your name because that's quite unusual.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Quite North American Indian tribal jobby.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It is. It's nothing pretentious like that, though,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10because I was born in 1966 and most people were called Susan Jane.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I went to an all-girls grammar school, everybody was Susan Jane, so I changed it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You became the North American version.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- I did.- Well done, Sioux.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I wish you good luck. Now, the money moment.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26£300, if I can only get it out. £300.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32There you go. You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35So, whatever's going to happen today?
0:05:37 > 0:05:44We've established our keen players, but who will be helping them through the labyrinth of delectables today?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46The man fielding the dreams
0:05:46 > 0:05:50for the Red team is none other than Mr Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52And poised for the challenge,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55sitting pretty for the Blues, Mr Charles Hanson.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02What is it we're going to look for today?
0:06:02 > 0:06:09Definitely a piece of silver and if we can find something with a heart motif, I'd be really happy with that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15- What are you going for?- Well, we're in Norfolk, so we want something country sports-ish, I think.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- Yeah.- Or wood.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- OK, let's go for it.- OK.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19- Doulton figures.- No!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Come on, Tim. Come on, come on.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I keep finding teddies.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- This...- This little coal or log box.- Right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Late 19th century, Arts and Crafts.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Do you like it?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Er...
0:06:43 > 0:06:47My instant thing is, I've got one at home in the garage.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- You've got it in the garage, cos you don't use it?- Yes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53You're saying you've got another one of them?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- A similar sort of thing. - I've got a tenner says you haven't.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I've got £300 here.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- How much? - Bottom line would be 80 quid.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08That's the bottom line? And the bottom line could go down to maybe...?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Is that the best?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- It's a sunny day. - Give me 70 quid and it's yours.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- What do you think, Tim? - I think it's pretty cool.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I think it's a possible.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Give it five minutes?- Yeah.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25We'll make up our minds on that one.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Thank you.- What do we think?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Well, you like it, Tim likes it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- I'm a bit...- Iffy on it?- Yeah.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- What's your problem with it? - Just the condition of it.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- I know it's Arts and Crafts and whatever else you said. - It's beaten metal.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- It's got character.- OK.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44We haven't bought nothing yet.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Offer him 60.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Then when he says no, I'll say 65, yeah?
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Yeah, all right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Go, Tim, it's yours.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Drive a hard bargain.- All right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Yes.- 60?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01No, sir. You're a lovely man and I like you so much it's unbelievable.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- But if you don't give me 70 quid, I will swear.- 65?- No.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09£70 is my bottom line, seriously.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Why not?- If you open your mouth again, it's 90 quid.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yes or no. I'm serious.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I'm going to walk away. - It's 90 quid now.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21How about 70? I think it's fair.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- How about 70?- There we go.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I don't believe we've just bought that.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Well done, Reds. First item down.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Clock's ticking away now. You've got 40 more minutes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38- Always a good seller.- No, no, no.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Clarice Cliff, your sort of thing?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Hmm...not really.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- A bit jazzy? Do you like it?- I quite like it, but where's the lid?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I'm sensing the Blues are going to be tricky customers.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Victorian papier mache inkstand.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Yes, but ultimately useless.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Quite right, yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57So the little meerschaum pipe here.
0:08:59 > 0:09:0130.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03That's not bad for a meerschaum pipe,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07she says, sounding like she knows what the hell she's talking about. Is it complete?
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Yeah, it's the original case and here you've got this little sort of typical Victorian lady.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17I would date this to about 1900.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The detail's nice. So will you take £25 for it?
0:09:20 > 0:09:2230 is the minimum.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Would you meet halfway?- Do 28.
0:09:25 > 0:09:2828, OK. It's quite nice. It's our first item, possibly.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31It's not bad. Do you think it will make some money at auction?
0:09:31 > 0:09:38I hope so. It's novel, it's complete, it's socially interesting, from 110 years ago.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I think it has potential. Debs, what do you think?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I really like it. I think we should go for it, Sioux.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47The first item. We've got half-an-hour to go, so we ought to now start investing.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Are you going to hand over the money to him or not?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Thanks, Mum!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Hmm, I'm sure Sioux will thank you for that comment later, Charles.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58£28, then, for your first item.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Outside, Jonathan has his work cut out.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07No, it's horrible. It's nice, but no. No.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09You haven't got anything heart-shaped?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12It's slow at the moment, I would say.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You said you liked wood.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Mmm.- And it's not a lot of money.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21He says he'd do it for £65.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27It's a late 19th century or Edwardian mahogany wall cabinet.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Would you hang that on the wall at home?- Personally, no.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Is there anything that you like?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Hearts. - Ruthless, just totally ruthless.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40OK, that's a possible, then.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44OK, we'll earmark that as a possible. OK.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48We've got half-an-hour left, and that's now a possibility.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53I think we really want to move back into the main area now.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Well, that's where the Blues are.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56£145.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59But they're having trouble finding a bargain.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Royal Worcester, a bit too expensive, unfortunately.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- £245.- Yeah, no.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08These are popular. These are what we call globular glass scent bottles.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11That's pretty. I like them.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- Is it silver? - Yes, what you've got is the mushroom silver embossed stopper.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19You've got this wonderful cut-glass globular form.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21And this type of stopper is typically Edwardian.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Do you think the stopper is actually what lives with it?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Difficult to say, but certainly that's a contemporary stopper or thereabouts.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Hallmarked for Birmingham, about 1906.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I like it. Shall we check the price with the stall holder?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38It says £45 on the ticket, so shall we see what we can do?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Let's go and negotiate.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- 40, I'm afraid.- 40?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Yep.- Thank you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:4740, Charles.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Yes, in a saleroom, its guide price would be sort of 30 to 50.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54There is scope at 40 - that's a mid estimate.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Sir, would you go 35 maybe?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- 38.- 38. That's his final offer, so we can think about it, can't we?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Yes.- OK, sir, we might be back.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Thanks awfully.- Thank you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Right, on we go. Sioux?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Yeah, I'm coming.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13OK, ladies. 20 minutes to go and only one item bought.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Whilst you get going, I'll just take five minutes out.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I do love a novelty, I do. Do you like a novelty?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Well, what do you make of this?
0:12:26 > 0:12:31It's going to appeal to different crowds of people, this object.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34For a kick-off, if you're keen on your timbers,
0:12:34 > 0:12:39you'll be attracted by this delicious honey-coloured grain,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43and the box maker has carefully crafted it
0:12:43 > 0:12:48and enhanced the tightness of the grain itself, this knotting.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53The next thing this craftsman has done is deliciously make this lid,
0:12:53 > 0:13:00which, if I hinge it open, you can see it's been made in the form of a little cigarette box.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04And on the far side here, the hinge itself is entirely made out of wood.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09But it's engineered in such a way that the surfaces of wood
0:13:09 > 0:13:13go against one another almost seamlessly.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16And then, to add to the delight of the thing,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18at this end is a solid silver mount.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22If I hinge it open, you can see it contains matches.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27So it's a combination cigarette box and vesta holder.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28The silver piece is solid silver.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32It's hallmarked London at the end of the 19th century.
0:13:32 > 0:13:39And you'd take your match out of here and simply strike it on the rough bit on the opposite end.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43The mystery piece relates to the inscription on the end,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45because it says "pretty work".
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Why that inscription?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's certainly not the name of a person,
0:13:50 > 0:13:55but in my view it might be the name of a famous racehorse perhaps.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59And if it was, of course that would enhance the value considerably.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03So, how much? Well, it's £100.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Does that inflame your fancy or ignite your fuse?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11With a striking £270 to spend,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15are the Reds any closer to buying their second item?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- That's pretty cool. If someone's got a boxer dog, they're going to buy it, aren't they?- No.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'm thinking not.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- It's a hard lady to please, this one.- Oh, shocking.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Sula? - I want hearts. Have you seen any?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Hurry up and buy something.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- It's your turn.- Oh, Tim, shut up.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Have you got something in silver, something hearts?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44What do you think of them, Tim?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- What do you think? - I like anything heart-shaped.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- What about 25 quid? - The both of them?- Ooh, no.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54What about that one?
0:14:54 > 0:15:00You can have the both for...35.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04That's absolutely rock-bottom and there is money to be made.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I think we should buy these, Tim.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Right. - My decision.- You're confident?
0:15:09 > 0:15:15Very confident. Jonathan's not about, so we're running out of time,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- we need to get another item.- Do it. - We're going to buy these.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- OK, guys.- Jonathan, hello.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21- I've made a decision.- Have you?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Hearts, two of them.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24- OK.- Glass.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Right.- Signed.- Signed by?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Um, a word that I can't pronounce.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Oh, it's Holmegaard. OK, 1950s.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34A well-known Scandinavian glass factory.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36You've got both of them, signed?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39We've got both of them, signed, for £35.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40That is exactly it.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43£35 is not a lot and you've got two for the price,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45so I think you've done quite well,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48and I'll be gutted if you're the only one who makes a profit.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Thank you(!) - Let's do it.- We're doing it, yes!
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Definitely not doing it are the Blues.
0:15:53 > 0:15:5815 minutes to go, £272 to spend,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01and two items still to find.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04We've have lost our expert. Where's Charles gone?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05They've lost their expert
0:16:05 > 0:16:08and they're back where they found the perfume bottle.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What about this, Sioux?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Dogs.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Dogs, windmills, Norfolk.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- I like that.- Charles has gone.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22We'll have to ask him about it in a minute. Do you like it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I do like that, yeah. £45.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- OK, get Charles.- Yep.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32Ten minutes to go, and the teams are leaving it very late to buy their remaining items.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Quick, Tim, quick. I want more time.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Well, we haven't got more time.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41# I'm under pressure. #
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Uh-oh, here's trouble. How are you getting on, you girls, Charles?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47We're doing very well. We've bought one object.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Yes.- And we're on the way back to get the other two.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Really? If they haven't been sold.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- We hope not, fingers crossed. - How many minutes have you got left?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Ten.- Ten minutes and you've got two more to buy
0:16:58 > 0:17:00and you don't know whether you've got them or not?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04I don't think you should be ambling around, actually.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05- Ten minutes. Keep looking. - All right.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- What happens if we don't get anything?- We need to!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10If you had £300 in your hot little hand,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13you'd try and spend the lot, wouldn't you?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17But not today, because our teams have to leave some leftover lolly for their experts.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- BOTH: What?!- Don't worry, it's all part of the master plan.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Your expert's going to trot off and buy something that he hopes
0:17:24 > 0:17:27will boost your profits later at auction,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31and you then have to decide whether you're going to trust his judgement.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Me, mine's a whippy. Mmm.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- They're still here, thank goodness. - This little perfume bottle.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Charles, we saw this earlier.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46And you quite like it? Why?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Cos of the dogs and the windmill.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50OK, turn it round. I can see it's a silver collar.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's nice quality and of course dogs as well.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Importantly, Sioux, with a teapot, condition - what's it like?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00It's good. I can't see any chips on the spout
0:18:00 > 0:18:02and the handle's not been off.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Quite right. Upside-down, the all-important mark, Royal Doulton.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08We know from the style, this two-tone glaze,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10fairly mass-produced,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13but certainly 1900, 1910, thereabouts,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17and the actual collar of the body is hallmarked for London.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- So nice quality.- Yes.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22What's it worth? What's on it?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- 48. - Do you think that's a bit too much?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28With the scent bottle as well, there's scope to negotiate.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Hello, sir. If we wanted to buy both of these together,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33what's your best price for the two together?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Would you take 70 for them both? 35 each,
0:18:36 > 0:18:3970 for the pair?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- That's all we've got left, £70. - OK, go on.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Bless you.- Thank you, sir.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46With only five minutes left on the clock,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48the Reds are cutting it a bit fine.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- I love that.- Let's go through there.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Right, we're running.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Is that silver?- I don't like that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- No.- You don't like that?- No.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- Yeah, but because you don't like it doesn't mean no-one else is going to like it.- But it is Mappin & Webb.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- It is Edwardian.- Yes.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10That's quite sweet, actually.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I quite like that.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17It is a nice colour. "Birmingham G."
0:19:17 > 0:19:22A, B, C, D, E, F, G, 1907...1906.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Little scent bottle.- I like that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Do you?- Yeah. Do you like that more than the cabinet?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I personally think a cabinet is more practical than a green bottle.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34It's a very, very simple design.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37It's marked at 165.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Shall I ask if they could go down?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42If they went down to 120, what do you think?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It's your call. You do what you want to do.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49120. If they don't go down to 120, we go back and get the cabinet.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52And 130's your absolute best?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54130 he's gone down to.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Go for it, go for it, go for it.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I like it. I'm going to have it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01On my head be it. I just like it.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Do we have a sale? We have a sale. At last!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It's time to stop the clock.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09There's no time left to shop.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Let's check out what the Reds bought.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Coming in at £70, the Arts and Crafts copper box.
0:20:19 > 0:20:26Red item number two, Sula picked the 1950s heart shaped vases for £35.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30And with virtually no time left, and for £130,
0:20:30 > 0:20:35the green glass and silver mounted scent bottle. Charming!
0:20:36 > 0:20:39So, you two, you were late starters but you got there eventually.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- We did.- Jimbo, which is your favourite piece?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Mine was the Arts and Crafts bronze box that I purchased myself.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47You like the thing you found?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Of course, yeah. - What's your favourite piece?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I liked my heart glass vases, my heart shaped glass vases.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Which, of course, you found yourself.- Which I did, yes.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Yep, OK. We're digging in here.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59And you managed to spend £235,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03which is quite magnificent, I have to tell you, which is really good.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04I'm pleased about that.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I'd like £65 of leftover lolly, goes straight to JP.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12And so were they a handful at all today, Jonathan?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14She was hard work.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- She? She that must be obeyed? - They were great fun, actually.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Good. And what are you gonna do with the £65?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I've got to obviously please the lady, so...
0:21:24 > 0:21:25You don't have to please anybody.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28We want something that's gonna make a monster profit,
0:21:28 > 0:21:29that's all you've got to...
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- I'm certainly gonna find that. - Good luck with that.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Let's remind ourselves what the Blues got up to.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41First up, the meerschaum pipe, smokin' at £28.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Smelling good at £35, an Edwardian cut-glass scent bottle
0:21:45 > 0:21:46with silver lid.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Finally, a Royal Doulton teapot, £35. Bootiful!
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Excellent negotiation skills for you girls just at the end, wasn't it?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01It was. We did well.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05You did do well. Now, Deborah, which is your favourite item, baby?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- The perfume bottle, I really like that.- And Sioux?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- The Doulton teapot.- And which is gonna bring the biggest profit?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- We agreed...- Charles' meerschaum pipe.- Charles' meerschaum pipe.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- I hope so, too. - That's confidence for you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Anyway, you've spent a miserable £98,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I can't believe you only spent £98.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I'd like £202 of leftover lolly, there we go.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- £202. Charles. - Thank you very much, Tim.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30That's a lot of pocket money for you, boy!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It is, I can't wait to spend it!
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Knowing these ladies, and the fact we haven't spent too much,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39we want to buy something fairly classy, stylish.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42A nice pair which will reflect my pair of ladies, hopefully.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Yes. I fancy you ought to shove off cos time's moving a long, isn't it?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Very good luck, Charles.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Now, for me, I'm going to fill my cultural boots here in Norfolk.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08Felbrigg Hall started its days as a Tudor building in the 15th century.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13After years of disreputable squires, squabbling siblings
0:23:13 > 0:23:18and mortgaged estates, the Wyndham family re-established themselves
0:23:18 > 0:23:24in the 1620s, and set about creating a much-loved family home.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The succession of owners and branches of the Wyndham family
0:23:32 > 0:23:35made their individual marks on the estate.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39In the early part of the 18th century, William Wyndham II
0:23:39 > 0:23:43started to take over the estate here at Felbrigg.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48As was so typical with noblemen of his class and type,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52he headed off on a grand tour, a grand tour which
0:23:52 > 0:23:58lasted no less than four years, returning to England in 1742.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02And he brought back with him a great collection of art.
0:24:02 > 0:24:09In this room alone, there are some 50 paintings hanging on the walls.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12An artist that William particularly favoured
0:24:12 > 0:24:15was Giovanni Battista Busiri.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17And on his tour
0:24:17 > 0:24:19he acquired from Busiri
0:24:19 > 0:24:25no less than 20 images of views around Rome.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29These are painted in gouache, which is a type of watercolour.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34And with 20 examples of his work, this makes this
0:24:34 > 0:24:37the largest collection of works by a single artist
0:24:37 > 0:24:40that the National Trust own.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47But why do all these paintings
0:24:47 > 0:24:50look so spectacular in this particular room?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Well, it's all down to the wall covering.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Well, the wall covering and the colour.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02This delicious plum red colour
0:25:02 > 0:25:08actually sets off the incredibly busy gold frames.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11The wall covering itself looks like wallpaper,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15a bit like flock wallpaper, actually, but this is the deluxe,
0:25:15 > 0:25:19expensive way to decorate your walls in the middle of the 18th century
0:25:19 > 0:25:22because this stuff is silk damask.
0:25:22 > 0:25:29You can see here it has been woven in sections about 20 inches wide.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33The vertical lines represent the silk
0:25:33 > 0:25:37and the wefts are made up of worsted wool.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41All in all, creating an extremely exotic effect.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45What's truly extraordinary in this house is that this material
0:25:45 > 0:25:49is the same material that was hung in this room
0:25:49 > 0:25:51in the middle of the 18th century,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55which is what makes a visit to a National Trust house
0:25:55 > 0:25:57such a glorious experience.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Now, the big question today is,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03are our teams going to have a glorious experience at the auction?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Well, it's wonderful to be at TW Gaze's saleroom
0:26:26 > 0:26:30at Diss, in Norfolk, with my old friend, Elizabeth Talbot.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Less of the old, please, Tim!
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Sula and Tim, they went with this box.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37How do you rate that, Elizabeth?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41At a fair, it probably would stand out as being a little bit unusual,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44but in the context of auctions, we see quite a lot of these.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45And the condition's not wonderful.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49So we haven't rated it so very highly, really.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52No. Oh, dear, I'm standing by for something disastrous here.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53What sort of estimate do you think?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Being as kind as we can, probably about £50 to £80.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Well, that's not too unkind. - Good, we try to be kind, here.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- Well, £70, they paid. - Right.- So 50 to 80...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04They may do it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10Now, the next item is the Holmegaard glass pot and its baby.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12So, what do you make of that?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's nice to have not just one but two, and I think the two set each other off well.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19We have collectors locally and have good contact from London buyers,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23so I've estimated it at £40 to £60, and I think that's very realistic.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Well, if you think that's very realistic it could make more? - It could do, we hope so.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- £35, they paid. - That's very reasonable.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Sula will be delighted about that,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33cos she's very, very hot on these things.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Sula also went with the green scent bottle,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- which is in great condition, isn't it?- It's lovely.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I like this period of glass myself.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44It's very simple and classic and looks quite modern, actually, because of that design.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47We think round about 50 to £70 would be a fair estimate
0:27:47 > 0:27:49at auction for it. Bad news?
0:27:49 > 0:27:53£130, so there's a bit of a dark hole, or should I say a green hole,
0:27:53 > 0:27:54opening up around that.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- There is. Yes, yes.- So they're going to need their bonus buy.- Yes.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01So, why are you so jolly, then?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03You pretty confident about what's gonna happen today?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- I am quite confident, actually. - Very confident with my buy, yeah.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Well, we've just had a little reminder, cos you've spent £235.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Which is good.- Which is good, good. Wasn't it?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- It was.- Good, good, yes. And then you gave £65 to the maestro.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Now, Jonathan, reveal all.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- A box.- A box. A pink box.
0:28:22 > 0:28:29A pink box. Containing 15 carat gold sea pearl and enamel brooch.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30It's a very pretty thing.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Very good condition.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34How much did you pay for it, Jonathan?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I paid £60.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38£60. Not having that much to spend.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41And how much do you think we'll make at auction?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- I think we could make £20 out of it, at least.- Do you like it, Sula?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- I love it.- Yeah? What about you, Tim?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I'm up in the air. We'll see.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- You'll be led by Jonathan. - Of course.- And his advice... - He's the expert, I'm not.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57And he's saying you could make £20 or £30 profit.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58If you need to go with it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02And we'll find out whether you need to go with it after the sale of your first three items.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the lovely auctioneer thinks about it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Now, here's a little, delicate, feminine...
0:29:10 > 0:29:13It is very delicate, isn't it? Very feminine.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- I like that.- You like that?- I do.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19I like the design, the attention to detail, and it's in very good condition.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21That should fetch £60 to £80.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Well, Jonathan will be delighted. £60, he paid.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- Very fair. - And it could take off?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- It could.- I think it's a peach.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31So we've got high hopes for the bonus buy
0:29:31 > 0:29:32which, frankly, makes a change.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35And that is it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40Deborah and Sioux, their first item is the meerschaum pipe.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Actually, it's a cheroot holder.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46It is, yes, definitely a cheroot holder. A smaller bowl to it, yes.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49But it is in lovely order and its in its case, which is lovely.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- £28 they paid, are they gonna make a profit?- I think they should.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55We are hoping for probably double that, £48 to £58 would be a...
0:29:55 > 0:29:57What's with his eight business?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59£48 to 58?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01We like to be different here.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05OK, fine. So £48 to £58.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08They paid £28, so we're in for a bit of slug on that.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- I would hope so, yes. - Well, that's great.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Now, the Edwardian cut-glass and silver-topped scent bottle.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19This was essential for every Victorian woman's dressing table.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- It certainly was.- Do people go with them now? Are they collectible now?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25They are, and although the style isn't that unusual,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28the condition will, for a collector, be quite a nice bonus.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- You don't want these things bashed or nibbled.- No.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33That one's great. What sort of estimate?
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- £60 to £80 on that one. - Brilliant. £35 they paid.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- That's a good buy.- That's a result. - A good buy, yes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43We've got two potential pluses, there. This is exciting.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46What about the Royal Doulton teapot? Again, with a bit of silver on it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I think they've got a good eye for little collectibles in this group.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53But the Doulton stoneware does sort of yo-yo a bit in people's interest,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56at the moment it's not at its hottest. We think round about £38 to £48.
0:30:56 > 0:30:5938 to 48 again, more eights.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Well, £35 they paid, so if you're right on those three counts, Elizabeth, I tell you,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06this team are going to be absolutely over the moon.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- But just in case...- Yes.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11..let's hedge our bets and look at the bonus buy.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16So, you Blues, right, you spent £98, miserable,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18and you gave Charles £202.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Now, Charles promised that he'd buy a pair of something-or-other,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23and let's see what he's got.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Whoops! Oh, yes! So, girls, what do you think?
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Actually, better than I thought it was gonna be.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- They're not bad. They're OK. - Tell us about them.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Let me advocate their value to you.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37They are American,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40they're very much in what we'd call the art nouveau style.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43A bit yellow but they're beautifully gilt.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- Early 20th century and I just think they'll do quite well. - How much did you pay for them?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- Have a guess.- You didn't spend all the 202, did you?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I... they are bronze spelter rather than being bronze,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56but they are in fairly good condition...
0:31:56 > 0:31:59That one's got a broken arm.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02I paid £140 for them.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Do you like them? - They're OK, Charles.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08I won't say "like", it's a bit of a strong word, but they're all right.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Good. Good.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12What about you, Deborah?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Would you find a place in your house for them?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Erm...- Would you, Deborah?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- No.- No.- Oh.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25But I still feel for £140, there's a fairly good opportunity for profit.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28You've watched the master's lips, there, which is wonderful.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31For the benefit of the viewers at home,
0:32:31 > 0:32:33let's watch the auctioneer's lips.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36So, Elizabeth,
0:32:36 > 0:32:42- a pair of later painted spelter figural lamps.- Mmm-hmm.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Is this something that lights the cockles of an auctioneer's heart?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Not this one, I'm afraid, no.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I had a funny feeling you were gonna say that.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53They wouldn't have been my cup of tea even unadulterated,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56but I'm afraid they've had some restoration,
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- it looks like there's been some repair, and over the top of that... - Well, this arm's been off.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03That is not a piece of jewellery on this girl,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05that's a sweaty weld, isn't it?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08They're a good size, could have a statement,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11but I'm afraid I don't think we're gonna have a good sale on these.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13What sort of estimate would you put on them?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I'd have thought £60 to £80.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Oh, dear. £140 is where we're at with them.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20But, as I say, you can do no more,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24frankly, than sit on the rostrum and be as optimistic as possible.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- We could sell them, absolutely. - Good luck today.- Thank you. - Thank you, Elizabeth.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40So, Sula, Tim, great name. How you feeling? All right?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- Really excited.- So, really excited?
0:33:42 > 0:33:47- Yes.- That's nice, isn't it? First lot up is your box, Tim.
0:33:47 > 0:33:53On to lot 70 now, which is the Arts and Crafts twin-handled coal box.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58I have interest on the sheet shown here, and I'll start at £40.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00£40, I have, at 40.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02It's with me at 40. 42, 45?
0:34:02 > 0:34:0848? And 50. 50, with me at 50, I have at 50.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Five, new bidder. And 60? Five? 70?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Five? And 80?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Five, and 90?
0:34:15 > 0:34:1790, with me at £90.
0:34:17 > 0:34:1990, I have at 90. 95, new bidder.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22100? 110? 120?
0:34:22 > 0:34:26130? 140? 140, with me at 140. Are you all out now?
0:34:26 > 0:34:31It's 140, commission bids are in at 140 and selling...
0:34:32 > 0:34:33- Yes!- Rock and roll!
0:34:33 > 0:34:35That's very good.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38£140, you have doubled your money.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Plus £70. Now, the little baby pot.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43I have good interest on the sheets,
0:34:43 > 0:34:48I have five interested bids on the sheets, and I start here at £28.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50£28, I have, at 28.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Where's 30? 30 bid. 32? 35? 38?
0:34:54 > 0:34:5642?
0:34:56 > 0:34:5842, with me at 42.
0:34:58 > 0:35:0142? 45? 48? And 50? Five?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- £60, I'm at 60 now. I'll take five. - You're gonna double your money!
0:35:05 > 0:35:09At £60, only. Any advance on £60?
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Yes!
0:35:12 > 0:35:13That's so good.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17You are plus £25. Now, your other one.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Look out. You're £95 up, but it could all finish...
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Lot 72 is the green glass silver-topped scent bottle
0:35:23 > 0:35:24with original stopper.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28It's Birmingham 1906. I have got good interest on this one again.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Oh.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33And I'll start here at £38. £38 bid.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36And 40? Two? 45? 48? And 50? Five?
0:35:36 > 0:35:3960? Five? 70? Five?
0:35:39 > 0:35:4175, with me at 75. Now at 75.
0:35:41 > 0:35:4380? Five?
0:35:43 > 0:35:4790, and I'm out. 90 in the room. At 90. I'll take five again.
0:35:47 > 0:35:5095, a new bidder. 95, now, an untidy figure at 95.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54The caller bid at 95. I'll take 100.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57At 95, are you all done?
0:35:57 > 0:36:05Oh, dear. £95 you sold that for, £95, minus £35 on that,
0:36:05 > 0:36:10but you were plus 95 before, so you are plus £60,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12all right?
0:36:12 > 0:36:15You are £60 ahead.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- I mean, to be £60 in profit is pretty good.- That's good, isn't it?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Now, you could bank that £60...
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- Yeah, I know. - That could be a winning score.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Cos you said mine was gonna bomb, and it didn't bomb that much.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- I know, but...- Now, on the other hand, you could trust Jonathan...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Be greedy.- He's bought you...
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- We live in a greedy world.- Shh! - He's bought you that brooch.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35What are you going to do about the brooch?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Why not? Can we...- No.- Sure?- Yes.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- You're definitely not going with it, or you are?- We are not.- Go with it.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- No, we're not.- Are you sure?- Yes.- No?
0:36:43 > 0:36:44No? OK, we're not.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48You're not gonna go with the bonus buy. We're gonna sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Lots 76, we have the bar brooch, this is pretty,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54set with green enamel and sea pearls, stylised flower.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59And on the sheets, interest shown again. I start here at just £30.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01£30 on the little brooch, at 30.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Two? 35? 38? And 40? Two? 45? 48?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06And 50?
0:37:06 > 0:37:0850, with me at 50 now, at 50.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10At 50, on the brooch. 50. 55?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13And 60? With me at 60, are you sure?
0:37:13 > 0:37:18£60, all out in the room? At 60 on commission, and selling.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21£60, wiped its face.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- OK.- No pain, no shame. That's fantastic, isn't it?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Now listen, don't tell the Blues a thing, right?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Go out looking miserable. - Mum's the word.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- Yes.- OK. - Isn't that good news, though?
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Well done.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Now, girls, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- No.- No idea. - You don't wanna know, I tell you!
0:37:48 > 0:37:49So, how are you feeling? All right, Debs?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Yeah, nervous but really excited.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56You have the unusual distinction of having an auctioneer's estimate
0:37:56 > 0:38:00which is above what you paid on every single one of your items.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Good.- Yes!
0:38:02 > 0:38:06I mean, the auction estimates can go a bit awry,
0:38:06 > 0:38:11but she is predicting profit on all your pieces before we even start.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13The first lot up, though,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16is Charles' cheroot holder, and here it comes.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18We have the early 20th century meerschaum figural pipe there,
0:38:18 > 0:38:20depicting the female in the bonnet.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25Interest on the sheet, here, and I'll start at just £32.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28£32, and five? 32, I'll take five.
0:38:28 > 0:38:3035. 38?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32And 40? Two?
0:38:32 > 0:38:3442, with me at 42. 45, commission.
0:38:34 > 0:38:3748? And 50. Five?
0:38:37 > 0:38:4255, with me at 55, now. At £55, bid.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44At 55, with me at 55. All done?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Yes!- £55, well done.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50That's two off 30, that is plus 27.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Plus 27.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56We have the Edwardian cut-glass silver top scent bottled
0:38:56 > 0:38:58with original stopper again.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01It's Birmingham 1905, good period piece, and I'll start at £30.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05£30, bid at 30. £30 bid. 32? 35?
0:39:05 > 0:39:1238. And 40? Two? 45? 48? And 50?
0:39:12 > 0:39:13No? 50, with me, at 50.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15At 50, I have. Five, a new bidder.
0:39:15 > 0:39:1960? Five? And 70? Five?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22And 80? 80, on commission at 80.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I'll take five elsewhere. It's £80 on commission, the room is out?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28It's £80, any advance on £80?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Yes!- Told you that was a good buy!
0:39:33 > 0:39:36So, you have got plus £45 on that.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Look out, your teapot.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41..hunting figures and a silver rim.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46Interest on the sheet shown, I start at £30. £30, I have.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Two? Thank you. 35? 38? And 40?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Two? 45? 45, with me at 45.
0:39:51 > 0:39:5448, the hand. And 50?
0:39:54 > 0:39:58With me at 50. Now both out at 50? Again, on commission at 50.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Any advance?
0:40:01 > 0:40:04£50, you are plus £15 on that
0:40:04 > 0:40:09which means, overall, you are plus £87.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Brilliant!- Fantastic. - You've made a profit on each item,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14as predicted, and you are £87 in the bank.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- £87!- Really?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19That's pretty good, isn't it? I can't believe this.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Now, listen, what are you going to do about those old lamps?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23We're going to stick, we think.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Are we? Yeah? Yeah?- You do? - Yes.- Yeah.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I have to tell you, we're gonna sell them anyway.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- OK.- So here come the lamps. - Well-played.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33We have the pair of art nouveau style
0:40:33 > 0:40:35spelter figural table lamp bases there, they've been over painted.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39What might I say for a pair of these, good decorative item,
0:40:39 > 0:40:41start me at 100?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43£100 the pair, come on.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- The lamps, £100?- Come on, surely?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- £100.- £50 to start, surely?
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- 50, the hand, thank you. At 55? - Let's go.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52- And 60?- Come on!
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Five? 70? Five?
0:40:56 > 0:40:5880?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Five? 90?
0:41:00 > 0:41:0390's my left hand bid, at 90, I'll take five again.
0:41:03 > 0:41:09At £90, you are buying both, remember, at 90. Any advance on £90?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Right decision. Yeah.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14£90, certainly was the right decision.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You would have lost £50 if you'd gone with that.
0:41:17 > 0:41:23But as it is, you ring-fenced your £87 very wisely,
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- and I don't want you to talk to the Reds at all, right?- OK.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32Don't tell them this bit of news, because plus £87 could be a winning score.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45How lovely is this, to have two very happy teams.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Look at their faces, they're all puckered up with pleasure,
0:41:49 > 0:41:50it's great.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Cos they both know that they made substantial profits.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- Yes? Have you been talking to one another?- No.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00So the only thing to reveal is the scale of the winnings.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Sadly, the running up team today is...
0:42:04 > 0:42:05The Reds.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06No way!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09I'm so sorry to tell you this.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13You made £60, which is a considerable amount.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17What are you gonna do with your share of the winnings, Timbo?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Thank you. - Spend it on myself, cos I'm greedy.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- OK, fine.- Nicely put! - What about you?
0:42:22 > 0:42:25I'm gonna treat me and my boys to a day out somewhere.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- Are you?- Yeah. - Well, that's really nice.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30And you'll be paying commission to Jonathan, naturally?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Not at all.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Not at all, she says!
0:42:34 > 0:42:40The victors today, by a chalk, because they made a profit of £87.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44And here we go, £87, Sioux.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Now, a great achievement to make a profit on every single lot.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Do you know how difficult this is to do?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51I mean, it's come to you so easily,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55but actually it is a very difficult thing to make a profit on every lot.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57It is, it is, but we are very good.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- Yes, you are. - All round.- And so modest!
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Anyway, we've had a great day.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
