0:00:04 > 0:00:06Thank you so much for joining us.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11One of me, two teams, £300 apiece, two experts.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13It must be Bargain Hunt.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Welcome to Portobello Road market.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Famous worldwide for its market,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50it's actually a living movie set,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54with an incredible range of collectibles and stalls.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02I've detected a slightly artistic and rebellious streak in our teams today.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Before they all get heady with excitement, let's remind ourselves of the rules.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11They each get £300 and an hour to find three items.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15They then take their items to auction and sell them off to the highest bidder.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The team that makes the most money wins. Hurrah!
0:01:18 > 0:01:25Today we've got two teams of manly men, pumped up, full of testosterone and ready for the contest.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27For the Reds, we've Mark and Tom.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32For the Blues, we've Mark and Andrew. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37You're best friends, and you agree on everything?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- We agree on nothing pretty much. - Not really. We agreed to come on the show today
0:01:41 > 0:01:45and that we're going to try and find as many good things as possible.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- For Bargain Hunt?- Exactly. - That's a relief!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Do you collect anything? - I collect horror film memorabilia.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Really? What's it with you and horror?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- I'm just a big horror fan. - Since you were a kid?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- I used to always watch them on TV and love them. - Snuggle up with your teddy?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Not a ted any more, but I still watch them.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Have you ever made money from selling collectibles?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I always go to car boot sales, and scavenge around trying to find things.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17I picked up an original photograph of Sid Vicious from the Sex Pistols.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22I bought it for about a fiver and put it on an online auction and got bid up to £400.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28- What was special about the picture? - It was an original press photograph. It was after he was arrested.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- Sex Pistols collectors just wanted it.- That's the business.- I'm not complaining.- Congratulations.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Tom, you're a salesman. - That's right.- Are those skills going to stand you in good stead?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I hope so. I think I know a few tricks of the trade to look out for.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- Like what?- Some of the leading questions, and what have you. Put a twist on it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Hopefully, I'll get a few bargains.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Tom, what out of your experience arms you better than Mark?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I used to go to the auction house with my grandad when I was younger.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- I know what sort of things sell and what don't.- What sort of things will you be looking out for?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Something a bit different.- Wacky? - Bit out there, yeah.- "Out there."
0:03:06 > 0:03:10I'm getting the message! There could be trouble here.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- This isn't frightening you boys, is it?- No!- Not at all.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20You don't look as if you scare easily. You're often mistaken for a policeman.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Why do you think that is? - It's my shiny shoes.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26A little bird tells me that you hate musicals
0:03:26 > 0:03:31but the absolutely adore opera, in particular, Carmen?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36I love Carmen. What a tramp! I like sassy women.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- What, sassy big fat women? - Something like that.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44- Does that go for you, Andrew? Are you fond of big, fat, sassy woman? - I see a trend emerging!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I do love the opera. I'm not dragged there, I like it a lot. We go often.
0:03:48 > 0:03:54What's the story about you going off to the south of France with a nightie and a pair of wellies?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I did a dreadful deed to my brother. I was sharing a flat with him at the time and we fell out.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- We didn't speak for months.- What sort of a dreadful deed was it?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- It was a dreadful deed involving his girlfriend and myself.- Oh, my!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I got stopped late at work, when I was going on holiday,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and had to ring him and ask him to pack me a suitcase quickly.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14We then flew off to Nice. I arrived at the villa,
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- opened the suitcase and discovered two pairs of wellies and nightie. - LAUGHTER
0:04:19 > 0:04:25- How sweet is revenge?! No bathers?- No bathers. - No Hawaii Five-O shirts?- No.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Very funny. Well, that will teach you a lesson.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31What's about you wanting to become Paul Simon?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35My father is a musician and he lent money to struggling musicians
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and they would leave their instruments as security.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40We had lots of instruments to play with as children.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I stuck with the guitar. I play classical guitar.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- I wanted to be as good as Paul Simon.- That's a reasonable ambition.
0:04:47 > 0:04:53I hope today you finish up with diamonds on your soles! Now, the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56You know the rules, your experts await.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Off you go!
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Don't forget, they've only got one hour to find their three items.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09Undeniably attractive, seductively informed and effortlessly cool -
0:05:09 > 0:05:11that's enough about me.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Let's meet the experts on hand today.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18For the Reds, he's not feral, it's just the look of him.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's Philip Serrell.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22A beast!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And for the Blues, adored by many,
0:05:25 > 0:05:30revered by even more, it's the delectable David Barby.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34It's a big throng of the market and with so many items on display,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38our manly team should really get going with their buys.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40There are a couple down there.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Guys, what do you think?
0:05:43 > 0:05:50I thought the stallholder was just a little bit harsh, because he said there was sort of a...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I can see it, actually.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Better looking, Phil!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57What is it?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01It's the dog's...inkwell.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05It's a boxer dog. It's got its collar round it. I think it's really wicked.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09You open him up by the ears, and I just think that's really lovely.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I'd think it dates to about 1880. Two problems with it.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17In that that ear, has just been chipped and perhaps flattened off a bit there.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21It's been in a fight or something! It may have had glass eyes at one point in time.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The thing I love about it is its colour.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I just think he's lovely.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Collectible?- Hugely so -
0:06:27 > 0:06:29to people who collect dog-related stuff,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31hugely to people who collect inkwells.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'd love to own it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I like it. Do you like it?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- It would appeal to different markets.- How much is it?
0:06:39 > 0:06:44That's the acid test. It's £120. If you can have a nice chat with the dealer, see if he'll...
0:06:44 > 0:06:48If you can get that for anything under £100,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I hope we've got a result.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53If it goes into the auction, it could make £40 or 50.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56But if the auctioneers will put it on the internet
0:06:56 > 0:07:01and you've got collectors there, there's £100 to £200 worth there.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- It's a gamble.- I'm up for it.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It's the dog's...!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Go on.- I'll give it a go. - Cheers, Phil.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11The boys paid £90 for the Philip lookalike,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I mean, the boxer inkwell!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Well, that's very indulgent. Biscuits, what sort are they? - They're cookies.
0:07:20 > 0:07:27- I've been shopping. What do you think of this?- It's lovely. Is it a biscuit barrel?- No, it's not.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32I think, in fact, it is for cigars. I look at this and I think of the workmanship, first of all.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37We've got these lovely sections here, brass-banded.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42I can't help but think that this could have been an apprentice piece by a young cooper.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- You know, barrel makers. - We live in Cooper's Lodge.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49That's absolutely brilliant. It's divine intervention.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I think this is so good. This is a little lock here, which is Victorian.
0:07:53 > 0:08:00If you look carefully at the little flap that goes over the keyhole, it's VR, Victoria Regina.
0:08:00 > 0:08:06In the interior, there's nothing exciting. If it was a biscuit barrel, it would be lined.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11This could have been made as a gift, for let's say, the mother of the cooper,
0:08:11 > 0:08:16and she could have kept her cottons in here or something. It's a lovely little box.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18What's the price?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- It's 150.- That's a lot of money.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Handle it first. You'll notice that these bands of brass,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- they're a bit slack. - How does that happen?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34The wood shrinks. So, a little bit of glue, I think would work wonders on that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Do you think we'd be able to get it down to 100?- We might be able to.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- I can smile nicely. Would that help? - I think you'd be best trying to get that off.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Go and smile nicely and see what you can do.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I mustn't lose that key.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49It's beautiful, isn't it?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Did you like that?- I do.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- I think it's quite good, being from Cooper's Lodge.- Yes.
0:08:57 > 0:09:03David's impeccable manners brought the goodies home for £100.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05That makes the math easy, £200 to go.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09A lot of people don't realise that here in Portobello Road,
0:09:09 > 0:09:14there's a lot more than just a lot of stalls outside on the street.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16There are some serious specialist dealers.
0:09:16 > 0:09:22These carpets look magical because they're beautifully displayed on the walls.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27In particular, I want to show you this example which is an unusual thing.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30If you feel it, it's incredibly smooth and thin.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34The one next door is much thicker and bulkier.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36This is an knotted carpet.
0:09:36 > 0:09:43Each of the warps and wefts have been put together with loops of wool and knotted,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46and then cut, which is what makes a bit of pile.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50This rug has no pile at all because it's been woven.
0:09:50 > 0:09:56This particular rug is called a kilim, or pileless rug.
0:09:56 > 0:10:02It was made in north-west Persia in a town called Senna, around about 1880.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05What's unusual about it is its brilliant condition.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08The overall design is called Harati,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11with these scattered flower heads.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15If I take the lower edge and try to roll it,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17just look how flexible the rug is.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19That's its original purpose.
0:10:19 > 0:10:27This very portable type of mat or rug would have gone with a rich person to a communal bath-house.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32No plumbing in houses, you went to a communal place to have your bath.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36If you were rich, you'd not want to just step on the cold stone floor.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40You'd take your own roll-up rug with you.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Amusing, isn't it?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46What would a good quality kilim rug from Senna cost today?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48For an old one like this,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52it could be yours for £3,800.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Now, that's a magic carpet for you!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I want the Reds to win today.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04It's got to be the Blue team.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Definitely.- Go the Blue team! - Blue team all the way.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- What's he gone to do?- I don't know. Where has he gone?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27He's around here somewhere. I presume he's out scouring for bargains.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I hope so. There he is.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- I found a nice little silver object. - How do you know it's silver?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- I'm guessing it's silver. It ain't gold!- It ain't gold. - I ain't the expert!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- How do you know it's silver? - Because of the hallmark.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44The boy is cute, isn't he? What does the hallmark tell you?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Age, where it's from,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- and that's about it. - He's good, isn't he?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51This indeed has got a hallmark, just in here.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Assayed in Birmingham. The lion pattern says it's silver.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59There's a little E there, I'd think this is early 20th century.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02We've got a little silver hooky thing here.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- We don't actually know what it does, do we? - Is it a clip of some sort?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- How much is it?- She wants £45 for it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- What do you think it's worth? - Hopefully a lot more than that, but...
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- What do you reckon at auction? - You're asking me what it's going to make at auction
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- but you don't know what it is. - It's nice.- It's nice but we don't know what it is. What is it?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24You're going to have to tell us.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- Perhaps it was for doing your trousers up? No?- I don't know about that.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30- It's a napkin clip.- Oh, right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35So, just when you're about to sit down to your eight-course meal,
0:12:35 > 0:12:41you slide your napkin in there and pull the clip down and hook it into your collar just there.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It just holds your napkin.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Now you know what that is, does it make you feel better?- I like to know what it is.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- So you're happy you want to buy it? - I like it.- I'm happy.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- You're both convinced that you can get a profit on that?- It'll go well.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- If we get it down a tenner or even more?- If you can do it.- Even more.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- I'll try.- Give it your best. Good luck, mate.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- How do you think he'll get on? - He's not a bad negotiator.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06I hope he is, for your sake!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11That's faith for you!
0:13:11 > 0:13:18Mark picked up the napkin holders for £35, leaving the Reds £175 still to spend.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20What do you think?
0:13:20 > 0:13:26- He looks so sad.- Rather poignant. I had these puppets as a kid and the auction house wanted toys.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- So what do you think?- Are the strings and everything there?- Yes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- What do you think of this?- I think that's a better bet than this thing.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Look at that. It's like a spy plane.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Yes. What date do you think it is?
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- 1950s?- 1940s, 1950s. It makes me think of all of those B-movies.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47It's got some Art-Deco step features coming off down here.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49That's right.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54I think it's sort of super-sonic, streamline imagination in the '50s of how the future might be.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Look, the lighter comes out here.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58I thought it was an ejector seat!
0:14:00 > 0:14:04I thought to myself, "My God, he's broken it!"
0:14:04 > 0:14:08You've got the flint going in there and I guess the gas goes in there.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- That's right.- It fits quite snugly.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13So, the whole thing has been made as one particular unit.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- So what kind of money are we talking about?- I think they wanted £75?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21It's quite a lot of money, isn't it, even for a collector's piece?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I've seen them make terrific prices.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- Have you?- But they have to be named Dunhill, or something like that.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29This one, is it named? It's not.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34There's no brand name there, you see. I think you ought to get it down to about 60, maybe £50.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Than sort of price range. - We should go for it.- I like it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- I like it very much. - As long as you don't play with it!
0:14:44 > 0:14:48At £52, let's hope it soars at auction.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54You might well be sitting at home, shouting at the telly, saying, "Spend all the money!"
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I don't blame you. I'd like to do the same thing myself.
0:14:57 > 0:15:04But if the teams do have anything left over from their £300, they give it to their expert.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Once the experts have got their hot little mitts on the leftover lolly,
0:15:08 > 0:15:13they'll go and find an additional item, which is offered to the teams at the auction.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18They can gamble and go with it, and if it bombs, then that acts against any profit they may have.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23If they go with it and it makes a profit, it's all win, win, win!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29What on earth is that?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- He's got something.- Flying saucer!
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Here's Tom.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- What do you think, guys? - Let's have a look at it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40I quite like it, it's an advertising tray for a well-known whisky brand.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- People collect this.- That's what I thought.- Do you like it?- I do.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45What's it made of?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Copper.- Top shout. How old is it?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Not sure. That's where I was hoping you would come in.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- How old are you?- 28.- Is it older than you?- Yes.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'm hoping!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Here's the acid test. Is it older than me?- I wouldn't like to say!
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Get out of here! I would think it is probably 1950s, '60s.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- How much is it?- It's on for 25 quid. - What would you pay for this?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Would we turn a profit on 15 quid, d'you reckon?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Get a tenner off it? - Who is going to pay that for it?
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- People who collect.- People that have pubs, might like old drink memorabilia, country pubs.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21You always see things like that adorning the walls.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25So you spend a lot of time in pubs? Spotting these things?
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- Occasionally!- You're absolutely right, this has got two markets, really,
0:16:30 > 0:16:31one is to decorate a pub.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35The other is there are people who collect alcohol-related items.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Personally I'd just rather have the alcohol, but still.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41It's £25, and you're gonna get it down.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Get a tenner off, 15 quid.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45You won't lose a lot, will you? Might make a bit.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48See what you can do. Whatever you can get knocked off,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51go and spend it on three large brandies for us.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53OK, will do. Cheers!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- He's enthusiastic, isn't he? - Anything to do with alcohol, yeah.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02That enthusiasm must have rubbed off. Tom's purchase, £15.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Hang on, guys, what do you think of this?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I know why you like that.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11It's an elephant and a monkey, what's not to like?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14That's nice. It's got its original glass as well.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15What d'you think of that?
0:17:15 > 0:17:22Again, it's one of these quirky objects. And it makes me think of Queen Victoria.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26The British Empire, yeah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Originally, it would have been all silver plate, you can see, and that has worn off.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33We've got a base metal which I think is spelter.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- But it's beautifully carved.- It is.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- I love this trunk here.- I do like this very much, yeah.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I'm wondering whether the tusks there, the trunk, whether that would form the rest for the pen.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49So you could put your pen across there and you've got your ink in there.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51So that is rather a nice example.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53What's the price, the label's there?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56The price is scary, the price is 250.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Oh!- That's way, way too much.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Far too much.- A tiny dent there.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I don't think it's anything to worry about considering its age.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09I'd date that around 1860, 1870.
0:18:09 > 0:18:17OK. I'm going to leave you two to negotiate, but you've got to get it down considerably, almost by half.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- You won't do that.- I've never paid full price for anything.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- I don't want to know about your personal life. Do your very best.- I will!
0:18:24 > 0:18:31Andrew didn't shy away from David's challenge, getting the inkwell for £120.
0:18:31 > 0:18:375, 4, 3, 2, whoops, 1.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39That's it, the time is up.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48Philip's convinced that someone, somewhere, will want the inkwell in the form of a boxer dog.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Let's hope so. £90 paid.
0:18:50 > 0:18:56Mark's natty little napkin-holder only set him back £35.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58So thrifty.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02And the Reds' final item, something tipple-inspired,
0:19:02 > 0:19:08Tom whisked up a deal on the tray and paid £15.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Boys, did you have a good time shopping?- Wicked time.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- "Wicked time"?- Wicked time!
0:19:13 > 0:19:19- Which is your favourite piece? - I like the piece that I found, the silver serviette clip.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- Oh, yes. What about you?- The dog head, the inkwell, I like that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Which will bring the biggest profit? - I reckon the dog head.- Probably.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- You agree?- We got the most off that.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33The dog's going to make the most, that's your prediction.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36You spent a pretty mean £140.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38So I'll take 160 off you. Thank you.
0:19:38 > 0:19:44Now, Philip, your challenge, to go and find that bonus buy with that cash, how are you going to get on?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48I'm going to box clever and come up something that might just do a turn.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Would this "box clever" be a bit of a hint?- Couldn't say.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Couldn't possibly say, could you?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Only time will tell
0:19:58 > 0:20:04whether there was a whiff of a profit with the £100 cigar box.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06A soaring silver sensation,
0:20:06 > 0:20:11the cigarette plane lighter swooped in at £52.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14And what price for a piece of Victoriana?
0:20:14 > 0:20:20£120 brought the Blues a novelty elephant's head inkwell.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Unforgettable!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So, you two boys, did you enjoy the shopping?
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Absolutely. A fantastic time. - It was very good. Lovely time.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33- Spending somebody else's money. - Always the best kind.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Which is your favourite piece, Mark? - The chrome lighter.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42- What about you, Andrew?- My favourite piece is the Indian elephant ink pot, which I liked very much.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Good. Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit? - I reckon the aircraft.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I think the aircraft possibly, yes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Ah, you're agreed! - On something, at last!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55You spent a magnificent £272.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00So proud of that. We'd like £28 to go across to David.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Not an awful lot, is it?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06No, but you've made all sorts of wonderful profits out of small value items.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Well, that's true.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14I want something small, quirky and emblematic of Andrew's interest.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Oh, Lord!- Better not elaborate on that.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Later, perhaps!- OK.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Well, it's that time of day again.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27And I think I'm going to take a saunter up Cromwell Road.
0:21:30 > 0:21:38In London, in 1851, Hyde Park bore witness to the grand opening of the first ever international exhibition,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42enthusiastically championed by Prince Albert.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in 1851, to give it its full title,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51was designed to appeal to all classes,
0:21:51 > 0:21:55to be of educational benefit to the entire nation,
0:21:55 > 0:22:01and was the first exhibition of its type designed to illustrate industrial effort.
0:22:01 > 0:22:10The building that arose to accommodate the exhibition was as grandiloquent as its intent.
0:22:10 > 0:22:17The Crystal Palace, which provided 770,000 square feet of exhibition space,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20and covered some 19 acres.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26That grand structure is no longer in existence, so what then brings me to the V&A?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30The exhibition was such a huge success that at the finish,
0:22:30 > 0:22:36the organisers found that they'd got a profit of £186,000,
0:22:36 > 0:22:42largely made up by 4.5 million people investing in one shilling tickets.
0:22:42 > 0:22:49And it was with the profit that Prince Albert was ultimately able to fund what became this place,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52the Victoria and Albert Museum.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Here we are in the National Art Library, at the V&A,
0:23:04 > 0:23:09who've got the complete set of the original exhibition catalogue,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11100,000 odd objects.
0:23:11 > 0:23:19The exhibits were recorded, and this is just one volume out of that massive set.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22What was so special about the objects in the Great Exhibition?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Let's find out.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31Do you recognise that gilt and white baby at the back? You're right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It's the steel engraving from the book in the library.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38And it's a seriously wacky combination of birds and bulrushes
0:23:38 > 0:23:43making up that exotic stem for a circular table.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Down below, we've got a much more traditional shaped piece of Victorian furniture,
0:23:47 > 0:23:55a gentleman's easy armchair, that would've settled in any parlour in the Victorian period.
0:23:55 > 0:24:03It was made by a firm in Bath, and whilst it's got a spectacularly carved frame -
0:24:03 > 0:24:11we've got thistles, roses, oak leaves, and a whole multitude of foliage,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15what's really wacky about it is the centre splat is a solid piece of porcelain
0:24:15 > 0:24:18from the Chamberlain's Worcester factory.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23No more patriotic an exhibition than to have in the Great Exhibition of 1851,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27except, of course, that it's entirely impractical.
0:24:27 > 0:24:34If you sat in that chair and leaned back against a porcelain splat, it would last precisely two minutes.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Because the cabinet makers and the porcelain manufacturers
0:24:38 > 0:24:44only made this piece specifically for show, not for any practical purpose.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48However, some of the exhibits were made for mass manufacture.
0:24:48 > 0:24:5340 countries were exhibiting, in addition to the United Kingdom, in the Great Exhibition,
0:24:53 > 0:24:59including a German firm who came up with this novel idea for a rocking armchair.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02We've got some central-heating pipe here,
0:25:02 > 0:25:07that's been bent into this shaped rocker form,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10then all joined-up with an upholstered section,
0:25:10 > 0:25:15which is extremely comfortable, and this went into mass production.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Funnily enough, I've got one at home, and they work.
0:25:18 > 0:25:24The big question is, will our teams come up with anything that's going to be popular with the masses?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Ooh, I do hope so!
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Auction time. Let's get started.
0:25:32 > 0:25:39Well, we've staggered down from London to West Sussex, to Wisborough Green, Bellman's Saleroom,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41to be with Jonathan at our auction.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Good morning.- Good morning.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Tom and Mark, their first item is this little inkwell - do you rate that?
0:25:48 > 0:25:53It's nicely carved. These novelties are quite good fun. He's a little bit incomplete.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- His ears have been chewed away. - Got no eyes.- No.- So it's a blind mastiff, really.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So he's a little bit play-worn, to say the least.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07Yes. That's a pity, because some of these things do make big sums of money, particularly the larger ones.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- It's just condition, really. - Absolutely.- What's your estimate?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- £50 to £70.- Oh, dear, £90 they paid.
0:26:13 > 0:26:20- So we're really going to need a mastiff fancier or two on board today.- Otherwise it's a dog.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22A dead dog.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Great. Now, the hallmarked silver little napkin-holder.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Are you fond of a big French dinner?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Well, you know, un oeuf is un oeuf.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Yes, quite. But for the big Frenchman,
0:26:35 > 0:26:41traditionally, he'd have a socking great damask napkin and he'd pin it up with that, which is handy,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44except we're in West Sussex, not France.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49- It's an English hallmark. - Oh, it is.- In that respect, I think we could say it's a bib holder.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- It's like a christening present almost.- For toddlers to dribble into?
0:26:53 > 0:27:00- Exactly.- Well, that is a novel one. That's a good idea. What's your estimate on it?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02£15 to £20.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Oh, right. So it's not that brilliant an idea, then?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- No.- £35 they paid, you see.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12And lastly is the Johnnie Walker's copper tray.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16No well-dressed pub would be without one of these in the '20s and '30s.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I remember as a nipper, they had these behind the bar,
0:27:19 > 0:27:24and they looked very jolly in the Devon pubs. It's a bit of breweriana.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29I think people are less likely to be wanting to clean these things today.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You're not displaying them at home.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- So I find that a bit of a tough one. - What's the estimate?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I've still said £20 - £30.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Oh, that's great, they paid 15.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42So there is some hope with one of these objects, but two of them
0:27:42 > 0:27:46seem to be decidedly on outer limits, let's put it like that.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50So I think they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:52 > 0:27:58So, tell me, Mark - you spent £140, you gave Philip £160, what did he spend it on?
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Isn't that lovely?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05It's a snuff box, French, probably about 1820.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It's elm.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10And you've a tortoiseshell interior to keep your snuff dry.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I just think that's lovely. I paid £65 for that.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- What'll it make at auction? - What d'you reckon?
0:28:16 > 0:28:20I'd put an estimate on that of £60-£90. I wouldn't be surprised if it topped £100.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- It's all right, isn't it?- I can see enthusiasm welling over here(!)
0:28:24 > 0:28:28No, it's not really my thing, but I can see why someone would like it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I'm not looking for you to buy it!
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- That's it. What do you reckon?- If there's enough snuff collectors out there
0:28:34 > 0:28:36that come to the auction, then yeah.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- You can see them running away... - I don't know!
0:28:39 > 0:28:43You don't have to decide to take it right now.
0:28:43 > 0:28:49You may not even take it after the sale of your first three items!
0:28:49 > 0:28:54But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Philip's little snuffbox.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- That's rather fun, Jonathan, isn't it?- Absolutely. Nice snuffbox there.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03French one. I know it's French, because it says "la pie voleuse"!
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Sounds painful.- You can get tablets for that, can't you?- Yes.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10It's something to do with the magpie nicking something.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Absolutely. There's our magpie there, he's got a spoon in his beak.
0:29:13 > 0:29:20The relevance of our chap here, who's got his lady down on one knee.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I don't know why she's so distraught,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- and has to apologise for this bird's misbehaviour.- Nicely made, though.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31- Absolutely, it's listed as elm, but you think it's something else? - I don't know.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37That's pressed, so it's a manufactured box that's come out of a steel dye, squashing the wood.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39They're collectible things.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43It's going to be something which in that respect is going to be a rarity as such.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- You might get £40 to £60.- Philip Serrell paid £65, and he's hopeful.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues - Mark and Andrew.
0:29:51 > 0:29:58- Their first item is this coopered cigar box.- Yeah. "Cigar box" is a good marketing term for this.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02I like the contrasting woods, gives it that extra definition.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05It is made in the way you'd expect a barrel to be coopered.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Yeah.- It's got a lovely lock on the front here which is stamped VR
0:30:08 > 0:30:12for Victoria's cipher, which is a nice period feature as well.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14The top looks a little bit later, perhaps,
0:30:14 > 0:30:17the colour of this wood to the rest of it and the patination...
0:30:17 > 0:30:20You think it's over-polished? Or even later?
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Possibly. To me, it doesn't look contemporary to it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Everything else about it is very good.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Wooden bits like this do quite well.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30We'll get between £40 and £60 for it.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Ah. David Barby will be distrait.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35£100 paid. So, we'll have to see about that.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37How are you on spy planes?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I know nothing about spy planes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44- I know a little bit about decorative lighters. - This is a popular theme, isn't it?
0:30:44 > 0:30:50You get different periods, different planes, contemporary aeroplanes modelled as table lighters.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- Absolutely.- They're not ever an accurate model of the actual planes
0:30:54 > 0:31:00or "stylised, relatively easily and quickly cast and then chromium-plated" vision
0:31:00 > 0:31:02of what a plane looks like.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I mean, it's down as a spy plane, cos I suppose it looks like the U2
0:31:05 > 0:31:09which crashed over Russia when the Cuban Missile Crisis was going on.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12The novelty element, the fact it is a plane and it's a lighter,
0:31:12 > 0:31:20and certainly the fact you've got this sort of stylised Deco feel to it, it's late-'40s styling on it.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22We are looking at about £20 or £30 for it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27Is that all? £52 paid. But they're a pretty bizarre trio - aren't they? -
0:31:27 > 0:31:32what with the coopered cigar box, the chromium-plated 1960s U2 spy lighter,
0:31:32 > 0:31:38and now we've got a heffalump down the end, with a monkey on its head playing a flute,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40which is a bit bizarre!
0:31:40 > 0:31:45Again, novelty inkwells, your market is the gentleman, the desk.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Of course there is a strong market for that sort of thing.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53It's made of Britannia metal which is the better of the imitations of bronze.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56You'd really like to see that in bronze, wouldn't you?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58We would like to see that in bronze, yes.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02But it looks to me rather kind of grey and dull. I don't know.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05It's more like an elephant's skin now than when it was plated.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- So it's a bit of a novelty desk item more than anything else.- Quite.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- And what we will get for that? Well, crikey. £30 to £50, I would say.- Crikey.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15£120 they paid.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20One thing's for certain here, they are going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Mark and Andrew, you spent £272, quite magnificent,
0:32:24 > 0:32:29leaving David with a miserable £28 to go and try and find something.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- David, what did you find? - Well, I like it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Oh.- "Oh"! - TIM LAUGHS
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- It's something you put your nuts in, you see?- I quite like the glass.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41And you're a cat lover, aren't you?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Well, it died.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47But, yeah, I WAS a cat lover till it died.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Poor thing. This is ideal for ashes!
0:32:50 > 0:32:56- It's very sweet. How much was it? - £15.- That's a bargain.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- It's a bargain.- How much do you reckon people would pay for that?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Well, it's the stylised cat, I think it's quite attractive.
0:33:03 > 0:33:08- Probably round about £20, £25. - I think that will go.- Me too.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10It's very tactile, it's chunky.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12It is. I like it.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Let the man have a handle. - I like that actually, yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19It's obviously a major decision in your gameplay(!)
0:33:19 > 0:33:25Cos you're relying on David to find you something for £15 that's going to get you out of trouble.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30- I like it, yeah.- You've done the right thing there, David, obviously.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little cat.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39- Right then. There you go. - OK.- You a cat lover yourself?
0:33:39 > 0:33:40I've got two dogs.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Then you're the right man to ask about this(!)- Exactly.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Whether it's '70s, I don't know.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Moulded glass, cats. Whatever it might be,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52I suppose you could grow watercress in it and give it a trim!
0:33:52 > 0:33:54What are you going to do with it?
0:33:54 > 0:33:59- Well, absolutely.- I mean, it's in good condition, but it's only very cheaply made, isn't it?
0:33:59 > 0:34:05There's no markings on it. Even at the very least, you'd like it to say Waterford or something like that.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- It could have been made yesterday.- Yeah.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10So, Barby's bought it as his bonus buy.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12He only paid £15 for it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Might he just... might he get a profit on it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:20- I think probably there's about a fiver's loss in this one.- And that's being optimistic, is it?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23I've put £10 to £15 on it, and that's probably fair.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27It'll be interesting to see what happens in the auction. Thank you, Jonathan.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- Tom and Mark, are you feeling cool? - Pretty cool.- Relaxed.
0:34:36 > 0:34:42- Come on, there must be a bit of nerves.- I'm feeling it now.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45I'm feeling it a bit now. Holding it together.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51- It is nervous process, isn't it? You know about auctions. What about you, Mark?- I've never been.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Just online auctions, which is a lot more relaxed.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Not full of people. - Nothing like this?- No.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57The treen inkwell.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Philip found it.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00£90 paid.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03The auctioneer has estimated £50 to £70.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06That's not a bad estimate.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- It's got a chance.- It's all right, isn't it, Phil?- Yeah.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10And here it comes.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Inkwell modelled as a boxer dog's head.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18I've got a lot of interest in this, and I can start straight in at £70.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Bid with me at 70. Looking for 75. It's £70. 75, and 80?
0:35:22 > 0:35:2685, and 90? 95, 100?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28£100 against you, sir, at £100.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32110 if you like. 110, standing close to commission now at £110.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37120, anyone? £110 then, in the tartan at £110, and selling, 120 behind.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Look, he's going on.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- 130.- Yes!- 140.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Look at our man here!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47150. 160.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50£160, behind then still at 160.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Last chance and selling for £160. GAVEL BANGS
0:35:53 > 0:35:57160, plus £70. Well done, boys.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59We have a silver baby's bib clip,
0:35:59 > 0:36:03a nice, interesting lot, this. And I have to start at £20.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04It's bid with me at £20.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07I'll take 22. 22, 25. 28, and 30.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10£30, against you then at £30.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Do I see 32? Commission bid at £30.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16£30 and I'll sell at 30. At £30 it is, then.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18I need further interest at £30.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21On the book and against you all at £30, last chance at 30.
0:36:21 > 0:36:27£30, bad luck, that's minus £5. You're still plus 65. Here we go.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31We have the embossed copper advertising tray, collector's item.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33£10, to start me at 10. 10 is bid.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Thank you, sir. At 10. Do I see 12?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38£10, seated right. £10. 12, anyone?
0:36:38 > 0:36:42At £10, surely worth more than a tenner? I'll sell at £10.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43Maiden bid at £10.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Blast it. £10, minus 5 on that.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53You are still plus £60. £60 up, thanks to you-know-who.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Amazing.- It's pretty good, isn't it?
0:36:55 > 0:36:59What are we going to do then? Are we going to risk anything for this bonus buy?
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- I think we should stick, mate. - Stick, yeah.- No offence, Phil.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Are you going with the bonus buy option? It's just going now.- No.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- You're not going with it? - No.- No bonus buy.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12They are determined, these boys. We're going to sell it anyway. Here it comes.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15A carved elm circular snuffbox.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Early 19th century,
0:37:16 > 0:37:20with this interesting scene. Magpie flying away with a spoon there.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24And I've got bids to start me in at £45.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29Is bid at £45, looking for 50, now. And 50, and 55. 60, and 65.
0:37:29 > 0:37:3170, and 75. 80, and 85.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34£85 commission against you at £85.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Do I see 90 now? At £85, and I'll sell at £85.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Last chance, £85.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Well done. You made your decision, you're £60 up.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45You deserved your £60.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- It's very good, isn't it? - We are happy about that.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51To make a profit on Bargain Hunt is an achievement.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54The thing now is not to tell the Blues anything. Don't say a word.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- In fact, go out looking miserable. - OK.- It's not hard.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Rubbish. You've done well. And well done, Phil.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Yeah, thank you.- Cheers, Phil.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14So, Mark and Andrew, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- No. No idea at all.- That's good.
0:38:16 > 0:38:22Cos we don't want you to. How are you rating your little cigar box?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Do you still think that's a good choice of David's?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- I think so, yeah.- Very confident.
0:38:27 > 0:38:33Well, £100 was paid for that. It is a really sweet, unusual item.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Anybody who likes a novelty would pay £100 straight up for that.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43Whether it's actually for cigars, or whatever comfort you might be locking away
0:38:43 > 0:38:45in a little box like that.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48You could use it for anything, not just smoking.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50But it's a nice thing.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55Anyway, the auctioneer has only put £40 to £60 on it, which I think is pretty miserable, actually.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Yes, so do I.- We all rate it.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00It's a nice crowded room. Here it comes.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03We have a Victorian brass coopered tobacco cigar box
0:39:03 > 0:39:06with this nice Victorian stamped lock.
0:39:06 > 0:39:13And I've got a flurry of bids, and I'll start at 45, 55,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17£60 on the book with me, at £60, I'm bid at £60.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21£60, looking for 65. At £60, 65, anyone?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23On the book against you all at £60.
0:39:23 > 0:39:2665. And 70. £70 it is then.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Against you all at £70. At 70, I'll sell then.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31£70, last chance, at 70?
0:39:31 > 0:39:36- Bad luck. Minus 30 on that. - It's not looking good.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Maybe not. Here comes the plane.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41A chromium plated table lighter in the form of a spy plane.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Mid-20th century example, this. Where can I start?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- I've got £50, I've got £60.- Yes!
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Looking for 65, now. 65, and 70.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56£70 and stopping straightaway at £70. 5 anywhere else?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59At £70, I'll sell. All done at 70.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Well, that makes you £18.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06- It's not all doom and gloom.- All is not lost.- The inkwell.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Victorian spelter novelty inkwell modelled as an elephant's head
0:40:09 > 0:40:12with this little monkey sitting on the top.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17And I've got bids to start me in at £30, £35, £40 is bid.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20At £40, 45. 50, 55,
0:40:20 > 0:40:26- 60, 65, 70, £70 against you. 75, anyone?- Come on!
0:40:26 > 0:40:29£70 against you all at 70. I'll sell at £70.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Last chance at £70. All done? No more. £70.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39That is minus 50 quid on that.
0:40:39 > 0:40:45- You're minus £62.- Dear, oh, dear. - Minus £62.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47What are you going to do about the cat?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- Let's just go for it. - Definitely going to go for it.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52What's the worst that could happen?
0:40:52 > 0:40:58- Let's go for it. - Are you going to do it?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Yes, definitely.- You're determined.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Absolutely, yes. Let's do it.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08We have a decision. We're going with the pussycat.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12We have this wonderful moulded clear glass bowl modelled as a cat,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15and I have a bid to start me at £12.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20£12 is bid. £12, I'll take 15 if you wish to bid.
0:41:20 > 0:41:2115 standing at the back waving now.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26Left on commission at 15. Looking for 18.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28At £15, with the lady, dead ahead at £15 and selling.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Last chance, £15.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37£15. Wiped its face.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Well, chaps. What a roller coaster, eh?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Dear oh dear. - Well done for the plane, anyway.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47That was really super. I'll tell you what, Mum's the word.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50We'll reveal all in a minute.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Isn't it funny on Bargain Hunt how it turns out?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Two teams, such poles apart.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09Shopping in the same place, shopping at the same time.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Well, there you go.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13The runners up today are today, I'm afraid, the Blues.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Bad luck, boys. You were very unlucky there, actually.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20You went with the bonus buy, but that sadly didn't make a profit
0:42:20 > 0:42:23and didn't make a loss, so no shame in that, David.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Overall I'm afraid, of course, you finish up at minus 62.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32On the other hand, for the Reds, you went shopping at the same place, they finish up with a profit
0:42:32 > 0:42:39of £60. Minus 62, and we have plus 60.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44congratulations on that. Been so much better if you'd gone with the bonus buy.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47If you'd trusted Philip you'd have been plus 80, actually,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49cos it was a nice profit out of the bonus buy.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54But nevertheless, you ring-fenced your profits. Here's you £60.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Thank you.- Congratulations on that. I hope you've all had a great time.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00We've loved having you on the programme.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- Join us soon for more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
