0:00:04 > 0:00:07Aye, aye! But will our teams have the vision
0:00:07 > 0:00:08to make a profit?
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Let's find out as we go bargain hunting.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Derby University would not be the first place you'd think of coming to
0:00:44 > 0:00:46to find an antique fair
0:00:46 > 0:00:51but actually, it's like one vast interactive history lesson.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Our teams today have a lesson which lasts for an hour,
0:00:55 > 0:01:00during which time they have to find three items with their £300
0:01:00 > 0:01:03here at the Jaguar Antiques Fair.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06'On today's show...'
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Look into these eyes.- All right.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10'..there are hypnotised dealers.'
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- And what's your best price? - 35. Works every time, you see.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- 'Straight-talking sellers.' - What can you tell us about it?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- It's a clock.- Yeah!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22'And a desperate auctioneer.'
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- One more!- One more bid, please. - Do you hear that?
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- £2 more!- Just £2! - Go on. One more.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34'But first let's meet the teams.'
0:01:34 > 0:01:37So it's the girls versus the boys today.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40We've got Becky and Suzy versus Dan and James.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Welcome, teams.- Hello. - Very nice to be here.- Hello.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Hiya. Now... Becky. What exactly do you do, darling?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I work here at the University of Derby.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- Lovely. And what do you do here? - I work in the quality department
0:01:52 > 0:01:55for the faculty of art, design and technology.
0:01:55 > 0:02:01- What sort of antiques do you like, Becks?- I inherited some crockery from my aunt when she moved to Canada,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03which is an Island Worcester sunflower set,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06which I think is made in Jamaica but I really like it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10It's old and very worn but I use it a lot, you know.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Yes. And how do you know Suzy?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15We both started here at the university at the same time
0:02:15 > 0:02:17thrown in at the deep end.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- So you work together?- We do. - Suzy, is Becky a good work mate?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Very good, yeah. We get on really well.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28We pretty much share a desk together, so we have to work well together
0:02:28 > 0:02:32and she's my senior, so she can kind of tell me what to do.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34So are you going to be a winning team?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Definitely.- We're definitely a winning team.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- We've got really good taste.- Good.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40That's that sorted out. Now, boys.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Dan, it's no coincidence that you like a bit of salt and pepper, is it?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47No, I collect salt and pepper pots as my pastime.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50It started from my mother, so carrying that collection on.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53But you did have a scare once at auction, didn't you, Dan?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Yeah, my boss sent me to a property and land auction
0:02:56 > 0:03:02and the... I accidentally bid on a piece of land worth 320,000.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Did you buy it? - Fortunately not, no.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Someone outbid me at the back of the room, so...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Phew! That was a relief. - Big relief.- Yeah.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16James, we don't want any mistakes like that. Can you really trust your team-mate?
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Er, I think so.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I think with the help of the specialist and my knowledge
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and Dan's salt and pepper pot knowledge, I think we'll get through.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Do you collect anything? - Erm, not so much myself.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33My Dad, he's got quite a large collection of agricultural tools.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38He was brought up on a farm, so ranging from tractors
0:03:38 > 0:03:42down to smaller things like woodworking planes.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I would advise on Bargain Hunt that you resist buying a tractor.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Anyway, this is the money moment. £300 apiece. Here's your £300.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52You know the rules, your experts await and off you go
0:03:52 > 0:03:54and very, very, very good luck.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56So while the girls and boys go out to play,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00let's meet their experts who'll be tutoring them.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Swotting it up for the reds it's Kate Bliss
0:04:04 > 0:04:07and at the front of the class for the blues, it's David Harper.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09That's Sir to you.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11And they'll need to be top of the class,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13as they have four teams to help today.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Right, boys, have you any idea what to expect here or what?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Er, no! - LAUGHTER
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Right, we're going.- Go!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Both teams have a maximum of one hour to shop
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and with something catching Kate's eye,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34she's wasting no time in taking her team straight to it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It is pottery as opposed to porcelain, of course.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's got quite a weight to it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43And you've got this quite unusual white metal overlay on it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Now, as soon as I saw it, I thought Iznik pottery, very Eastern,
0:04:48 > 0:04:54but this in fact could be a later copy, perhaps Moroccan.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59- I can see that doing 80 to 120.- OK. - Maybe on a good day even 150.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- What do you think then, girls? - I like it. It's different.- Yeah.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I can see it in someone's house,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08it could be a modern house or some people that like antiques.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- OK, let's find out how much it is. - OK.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Excuse me, sir?- Yeah? - How much is your charger here?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Well, I've got 95 on it at the moment.- OK.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- But I can do a little bit. - Mm. What's your best?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Could you do, say, 70 for us?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Er, it's a little bit low. 75?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- 75, what do you think, girls? - 75 sounds good to me.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Yeah.- Thank you very much. - No problem.- All right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Brilliant.- Thank you.- Yes?- Perfect.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Crikey, Kate, at this rate, you'll have finished your shopping before lunch.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40It looks like the blues are doing a bit more browsing first.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46- Well, that's lovely, isn't it? A typical George II design.- Mm-hm?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Of course, it's popular today.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51You can buy things that look like this brand new today.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54But with silver, we know from its markings,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and from your very professionally labelled ticket here,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01"Mustard pot, Sheffield, 1899."
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- The ticket price is £85.- 85.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'll do that at 70.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10£70?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13We can't get you down to 65? Just to give us a bit of luck?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Go on, then.- Good man. - Thank you very much.- Thanks a lot.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- OK.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:06:19 > 0:06:2320 minutes gone and the blues have finally caught up with the reds.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24One item each.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Oh, isn't it lovely? - For the horsy set.- Yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35People love, there's a huge market, for horse-related items.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Studded with a little diamond here
0:06:37 > 0:06:41and then you've got diamonds and black enamel here.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- I'm not sold on that, to be honest. - No, I'm not.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- These girls! Fussy.- Very picky. - What do you like, then?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I prefer that pearl necklace. - You prefer that pendant?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- That's not good, I take it? - No, well it is, it's lovely.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57It's got a lovely little cultured pearl, there,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- a really nice, white creamy one.- Mm.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And then you've got sapphires all the way round the outside.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Do you think that would sell well?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Well, it has got quite a contemporary look about it,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09which a lot of people like.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Pendants are very commercial... - Yeah.- ..as a piece of jewellery.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15What's the price, madam? What can you do for us on that?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19I've got 90 on it, I can do 60 as an absolute rock bottom
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Yeah, that sounds good. - I'd definitely go for that.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Thank you.- Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I just noticed this item here.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And what is that, then, boys? What do you think it is?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It's certainly interesting.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Yeah, it looks like a prisoner of war piece of art, doesn't it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- So it's tools in a bottle. - As opposed to like a ship.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43As opposed to a ship or a message in a bottle.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48It's the kind of thing that prisoners of war during the First World War, '14 to '18,
0:07:48 > 0:07:53erm, would, you know, create to pass the time.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Does it do anything for you? - I think it's...
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It's something really different, isn't it? I've never seen anything like this before.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- I'd definitely be interested. - What about you, Dan?- It'd catch a few eyes at the auction.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08It would, it would. Well, here's the chap.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Dan, I'm going to give you the bottle.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Look at that man and ask him what the absolute death is on that bottle.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15A straight 40 would be the best.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- 40.- It's a good price already, so... - Yeah, yeah.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Look into these eyes. Are you ready? I'm going to do it now.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- What's the best price?- 35.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27LAUGHTER Works every time, you see.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I'm not sure hypnosis is allowed under the Bargain Hunt rules, David.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'll have to look that one up.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Both teams now have one last item to find
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and with just ten minutes left, it's decision time.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- So what do you like, Suzy?- Erm, I'm quite drawn to these little bowls.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- And I do like that one as well. - That one there?- Yeah.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- That's a bit different. - It is a bit different, actually.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52The decoration's a lot more sparse on this one.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54This is actually really interesting.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58What you've got here is a French-style decoration on English Worcester
0:08:58 > 0:09:02and just to confuse you, you've got a mark on the back
0:09:02 > 0:09:04which isn't the Worcester mark,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07it's actually the French factory called Chantilly.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09So the fact that they're pretending to be French,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12that won't put anything against it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Not at all. That's quite a good selling point because it's unusual.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16OK.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Typically, little Worcester saucers like this at auction
0:09:20 > 0:09:23would fetch anything from 40, I suppose, for a very common one,
0:09:23 > 0:09:28up to 60, 70, maybe £80, for something unusual.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31So I think it depends what price the stallholder can do for us.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37'While the girls think about the plate, the boys may have found their last item.'
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It's from the RAF No. 40 Squadron from Gosport in Hampshire.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47So that's interesting. And what's the scene here?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51It's got what looks like a Krakatoa or something, a volcano going off.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Yes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54So it's obviously foreign lands, a lake,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57but there's the squadron insignia. Now, that makes it interesting.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01As an ordinary cigarette box, it's not very interesting
0:10:01 > 0:10:04but because it's Second World War, RAF, then it IS interesting.
0:10:04 > 0:10:0635 quid if you want it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- What do you think?- 25?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- You want it for nowt? 35 quid.- 35.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21He's hard work, this one, I assure you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Can you meet us halfway at 30? - Yes.- Yes?- Please.- Good man.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- OK. Are you happy, boys?- Thank you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Yeah?- OK.- Thank you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Good luck with it.- Thank you.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Yeah, good luck with it. Right, brilliant, we are done.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39'They're finished but the reds only have a few minutes left.'
0:10:39 > 0:10:43These saucers and tea bowls, would they do well?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I quite like the fact that they've got a set.- They would do well.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That's a nice one, with the birds in branches.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- I'd estimate that at 80 to 120 in my auction house.- OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56So which one do you think would go better at auction, sir?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Erm, I think probably the Chantilly piece is the better auction piece,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01with it being more unusual.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03So what sort of price can you do for us?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06The best price I can do on that one is 70.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I think we should go for it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Take a risk with that one. - I really do like it.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- It's not going to make you a flying profit but it might make you a little bit.- OK.- OK.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- Yeah?- Scary! Yeah.- OK.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18No time for lunch, after all.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21With all the items in the bag and the whole hour used up,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24let's remind ourselves what the reds bought.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Kate Bliss nabbed this Iznik-style charger for £75.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Then the girls took their time over the bling,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35settling on this 1940s pendant.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39And an 18th century Worcester saucer made it into the bag
0:11:39 > 0:11:41in the dying minutes.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Now, girls, you are very cool, calm and collected, aren't you?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Yes.- Yes.- In your posh, quality shopping.- Mm.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Was it good fun? - It was loads of fun, yes.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- Which is your favourite piece, Becks? - It would be the big charger plate.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Suzy, your favourite? - The Worcester dish.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Oh, very posh, that.- Mm-hm.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- The charger plate.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Yeah, I agree. - You had to agree with that?- Yeah. - Had to agree with the boss.- Mm.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- But she's not my boss.- I'm not! - OK, fine.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14£205, you spent, which is quite magnificent.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- And that gives me £95 of leftover lolly going to Kate Bliss.- Thank you.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- What are you going to do with the 95, sweetie?- I don't know.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I just know that it's got to be quite classy, really, for those two.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Quite. Classy and quality, that's what they are.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Writ all over them.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Now, let's remind ourselves what the blues bought.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35The salt and pepper blues couldn't resist a good condiment,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38so they bought this silver mustard pot.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42This unusual tools in a bottle one-off caught the lads' attention
0:12:42 > 0:12:45for £35.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49And it may shove the fags at you, but will it shove them a profit?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53This RAF cigarette box could ignite the saleroom at £30.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Well, you boys were certainly attracted to the unusual, weren't you?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- That's correct.- Absolutely.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So tell me, James, which is your favourite item?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06I think it's got to be the tool in a bottle. It's certainly different.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Tool in a bottle. OK, fine.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10And what about yours, Dan?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I like the silver mustard pot that we bought.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- That's definitely a nice piece. - He goes for the condiments.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- What's your prediction as to which piece will bring the biggest profit? - The tool in a bottle.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- OK, do you agree with that? - I'd agree with that.- Very sensible.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27You spent £130, which is pas mal,
0:13:27 > 0:13:32and I'll have £170 of leftover lolly for David for the bonus buy.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Thank you.- What have you got in mind to spend all that cash on?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40A few things in mind. Again, something out of the ordinary
0:13:40 > 0:13:43because what we've been doing is buying unusual items,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45so another unusual item is called for.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Well, you're the past master at the unusual and the unexpected...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Thank you.- ..so good luck with that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Well, it's grand to be on the outskirts of Derby
0:14:02 > 0:14:04at Bamfords saleroom with James Lewis.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- James.- Great to have you. - Very nice to be here.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Now, your first job is to tell us what you think
0:14:10 > 0:14:13about this socking great metal overlaid bowl.
0:14:13 > 0:14:19- Mm.- Is it good?- Yeah, I think it's got a good interior designer's look.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23You can imagine it in homes and antiques magazine or something like that,
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- No, it's a good looking thing. How old do you think it is?- Not very old.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Mid-20th century, I should think.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- So, how much?- Erm, £40-60. - Cos they paid £75.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Where do you think we stand with this?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- You'd be lucky if you get £50? - 40 to 60.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- He really means 40 to 60. - I think it's worth 40 to 60.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- OK, fine. Next is the little pendant. - Yeah.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Apparently, tiny chips of sapphire and a pearl.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Erm, how's that going to go?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54It's pretty,
0:14:54 > 0:15:00it's the sort of thing that a private little lady might go for.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Not a big lady?- No, it's a little necklace.- Oh, I see, yes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- £40-£60, I think. - OK, they paid £60.- OK.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- So they'll be lucky if they make a profit on that.- Yeah.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12What about this saucer dish, this Worcester saucer dish?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I hadn't got a clue, I have to say.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I had to ask Annabel in our ceramics department
0:15:16 > 0:15:20and she said, "It's clearly Worcester, it's got the Chantilly fake mark
0:15:20 > 0:15:22And she says it's worth £40-50.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- They paid 70.- Ooh!
0:15:24 > 0:15:30- So there's some difficulty, I would see, here...- Yeah. - ..in making a splendido profit,
0:15:30 > 0:15:34in which case they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Here we go.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37In my hot little hand...
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Now, I know you girls like your jewellery.- Yes, we do.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- So I have bought you...- Ah!
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Those look a little bit familiar. - Yes, we did look at these. - We did.- We did.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52They are pearl cluster earrings in gold, 18 carat,
0:15:52 > 0:15:57and with these little pearls set in, very much in the Victorian style.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59The Victorians loved their pearls.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02But these are modern, which for some people makes them more desirable.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Some women don't like to buy period jewellery or jewellery that's been worn,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- How much did you get them for? - £60.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- £60.- What do you think they'll make?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Well, I think that they have a chance of making a small profit.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I'm not saying they're going to absolutely fly away but they could make a small one.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- OK.- So...- We'll have a think.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Why don't you like them, Suze? - I do like them
0:16:28 > 0:16:31but I just... I don't know.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- You wouldn't buy them for yourself. - I wouldn't.- Right.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39And I know that they're modern and I like a bit more older...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- You like a bit of age.- I do. - Quite right, too.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45- I do.- You hold that thought, girls,
0:16:45 > 0:16:50but let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the earrings.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53What do you think they're worth, these?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Around £30-50. - Do you?- Something like that.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59They're pretty but they are brand, spanking new.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Kate paid 60, so she may well be lucky to get a profit on that.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- Kate's probably better than I am, so we'll see.- We'll see.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Well, what happens happens, doesn't it, frankly?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13That's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16And first up for Dan and James is the mustard pot.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Yep, a standard thing, a standard model.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22It would've been in a little leather-covered box
0:17:22 > 0:17:25with a pepperette and an open salt.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26You can get a Georgian one for £80,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29so for a reproduction style, Georgian style,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- I'm going to say 30 to 40. - Which is quite generous.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- £65 was paid. - Ooh, blimey, that's a lot.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- So that's cantering on, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Yes, next, James, is the ship in the bottle,
0:17:40 > 0:17:45except it's not a ship, it's some weird collection of wooden tools.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49I've never, ever seen anything quite like it. It's really odd.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- I'd much rather have a ship... - So would I.- ..than that heap of woodwork in there.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- I can't imagine many people wanting it.- No.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- What's your estimate?- £15-25. - £35 paid.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Oh. Loss, I think. - Yes, loss on that.- Yeah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- Now, the World War 2 cigarette box. - Yeah.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10Little marquetry box. Just happens to have 40 Squadron on it,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14which is nice because it pitches it at the RAF quite neatly
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- and people do collect RAF-related memorabilia, don't they?- They do.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It's a strange box, I think,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23because it's got sample wood, it's almost like olive wood,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Yes. I mean, you feel it's been foreign made.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Yeah.- Far East.- Japanese, something like that.- Yes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32It's quite a nice little box
0:18:32 > 0:18:35but I don't know how you feel about the value, here?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Oh, I should think £20-£30.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- £20-£30.- Yeah.- Brilliant.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44They paid £30, so they might just get close enough.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46But overall, there's some problems here
0:18:46 > 0:18:50and they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Gosh.- Have you any idea what that might be?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I've got no idea what that is.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Well, it's a cup, a late 19th century,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Chinese famille rose - that's the decoration - cup.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07We've got painted on the outside a group of immortals.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10We have an immortal figure on the inside
0:19:10 > 0:19:12and it would be used to drink rice wine.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14But there's something else going on here.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19If you look inside, there's a hole, a cheeky little hole.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21So it's a Chinese joke cup.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24So I would welcome you to my home, I'd give you this cup,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26ask if you'd like some rice wine.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I'd pour you some rice wine and you'd take a sip and the rice wine will pour down you.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33So what a great trick. Wouldn't you want to do that?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- I always do that to my mates. - LAUGHTER
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- How much did you pay for it? - Well, I had 170 left.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- I spent the 70.- OK.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45So, James, what do you think about this joke pot?
0:19:45 > 0:19:49It's certainly unusual. I've never seen anything like it before.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Well, it's certainly very unusual, David, and full marks for that.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00Hold the thought. Let's find out whether the auctioneer gets the joke.
0:20:00 > 0:20:06James, you've got a great sense of humour. Tell me where the joke is in this joke cup.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Other than having a funny little Chinaman sitting in your cup...
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- In your sake.- He's got a hole under his skirt, hasn't he?- Yes.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- And a hole there. - And a hole in the bottom.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Funny little fellow, isn't he? - He is.- But quite amusing.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I just don't see where the joke is.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27If you fill it and it lets out fluid all over your friend's kimono,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I suppose that's a huge Oriental joke.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I can imagine that would be slightly amusing.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35But that's the top and bottom of it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38And what do you think it would make in the auction?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- £30-40?- You must be joking?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- No!- He paid 70. - Oh - that's the joke.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46That's the joke!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Very good, Lewis.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Now, Becks and Suze, this is exciting, isn't it?- Very exciting.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- You really want to win today, don't you?- Yes.- Really want to win.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01You want to beat those boys into the ground.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Anyway, first lot up is Iznik bowl and here it comes.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08There we are. Great lot.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Good interior decorator's piece, a pewter overlay with it
0:21:12 > 0:21:14and I can start the bidding at £45 and 50, now.
0:21:14 > 0:21:1750 standing, sir. Five. 60.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Five, 70, five.
0:21:19 > 0:21:2280 beats it. At £80. Has anyone five now?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24At £80. It's a nice lot, this one.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30- At 80...- £80. That's brilliant. £5 profit, straight up.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Lot number 701, the 1940s pendant with the cultured pearl
0:21:35 > 0:21:38surrounded by little pretty sapphires
0:21:38 > 0:21:42and £42 is the underbid and so £45 starts it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44At 45. 48, now.
0:21:44 > 0:21:4548, 50.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48And five now. At £50.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Do I see five?- Come on, come on.- 55.- Yes!- 60.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Five? It's against you.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55At 60. 65 anywhere?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58At 60. With me at £60...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Oh!- Wiped its face.- Yeah.- £60. - Not bad.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- No profit, no loss. - We've got ourselves a fiver.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Lot number 702 is the 18th century Worcester saucer.
0:22:09 > 0:22:15I have one bid at £40 and one higher, so 45. 50 anywhere?
0:22:15 > 0:22:1950 do I see? At £45. And 50, now.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20At 45, 50 anywhere?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22At 45...
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Ow!- £45.- Ouch.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29That's five off 50, that's minus 25, so overall, you're minus 20.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34You are minus £20. The big question is, the bonus buy, the earrings.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Are you going to go with the bonus buy or not?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37I think we should.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- You're going with the bonus buy.- Are you sure?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41They're going with the bonus buy.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43At 32, 35 now.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45At £32. And five.
0:22:45 > 0:22:4835, anywhere? At 32.
0:22:48 > 0:22:5135, 38. And 40 anywhere?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- 40 by the door. 42? - Come on, come on.
0:22:53 > 0:22:5545.
0:22:55 > 0:22:5848. And 50.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00And two. 55.
0:23:00 > 0:23:0258.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Now, at £58. It's against you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07At £58. 60, anywhere?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- One more!- One more bid, please.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Do you hear that?- £2 more!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Just £2!- 60, go on.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16One more. No?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Blank expression.- Oh!
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I know, I'm sorry.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Go on. They think you're mean. - LAUGHTER
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- You have agreement. - CHEERING
0:23:26 > 0:23:30There we are. At £58. Are you sure? Are we all done?
0:23:30 > 0:23:36£58. You're minus £2 on that, which means overall you're minus 22.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41But seriously, minus £22 could be a winning score
0:23:41 > 0:23:44cos they may not do so brilliantly, those boys,
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- so you could still be winning with minus £22, so don't tell them anything.- We won't.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Don't say a word.- Poker face. Poker face.- Yes.- Poker face.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00So, chaps, have you been chatting to those red chicks?
0:24:00 > 0:24:05- No?- No.- You've not been talking about the score? We won't go into scoring with the girls,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07that's not going to be a healthy development.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Anyway, first up, then, is your mustard pot, and here it comes.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Lot 725, the mustard.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18And I can start the bidding here at £25.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20At 25, the silver mustard. 30, sir.
0:24:20 > 0:24:2235, 40.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24At £40. Any advance?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26At 40...
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Oh!- £40 only, that's minus £25. - Not so brilliant, that.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Now...- Not good.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Lot 726, is the World War, tools in a bottle.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40There we are. And I can start the bidding at £18.
0:24:40 > 0:24:4120 starts it, 22 now.
0:24:41 > 0:24:4422? At 20. And two.
0:24:44 > 0:24:4622 in the third row. 25.
0:24:46 > 0:24:4828. And 30. 32?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- 35 and 38 for you.- Yes! - It's going.- 38 in the third row.
0:24:51 > 0:24:5540 do I see? At £38 here and 40, now.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Any advance? At 38...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Plus £3.- Whoo-hoo!
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Which means you are only minus £22. Everything to go for, boys.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07727 is the World War Two,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11rectangular walnut and olive wood cigarette box.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Nicely inlaid on the top and I can start the bidding here at £18.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17At 18 and 20. 20 do I see?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- At £18. - It's worth more than that.- 20.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Two, 25. 28 in the red?
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- 28 and 30? 32.- Yes!- It's worth it. - Come on, look at this.- Go on.
0:25:28 > 0:25:3131, then. Thank you. 31.
0:25:31 > 0:25:3432! 32. 33.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- People want it.- 33 standing. 34.
0:25:37 > 0:25:3935. 36.
0:25:39 > 0:25:4138. And 40.
0:25:41 > 0:25:4339, then.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Go on, one more.- Go on!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47At £38 in the white.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49At 38. 39?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Whoo!- 40, 42. - Yes!- He's smashing it now.
0:25:51 > 0:25:5342, yes? 42.
0:25:53 > 0:25:5545. 45 for you?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Do you want 43, then?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Yes?- He's squeezing them.- No. At £42, that was definite.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04At 42. Any advance?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06At £42. Are we all sure?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Well done. We're plus £12 on that,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12which means overall, you are minus £10.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Minus £10.- Wow.- This is so exciting, isn't it?
0:26:15 > 0:26:21Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to go with the joke cup for £70 or bank your £10.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- We'll go with it. - You're going with it?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- They're going with the bonus buy! Are you happy with that, Dan?- Yeah.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- OK, here it comes.- Oh, no!
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Lot number 731. The famille rose joke cup.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37This is a fun little thing with a little Chinaman
0:26:37 > 0:26:39sitting in the centre.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42If you think that's fun, let's have a go at £30.
0:26:42 > 0:26:4530 anywhere? Give it to somebody you don't like.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47£30, 35, £40.
0:26:47 > 0:26:5045, 50, five. 60.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Five. 62? At 60.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54- 62 do I see?- Come on!
0:26:54 > 0:26:58At £60. And two, now. Are we all done? At 60...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Bad luck, David. - It could've been worse.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- It could.- It could've been a lot worse.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06That was an amazing last-minute decision, there.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I was certain you weren't going with it, then you did go with it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Doubled our loss.- You got in there.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Anyway, overall, then... Bad luck. You're minus £10 on that.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Overall you're minus 20.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- I do not want you to talk to the reds, all right?- OK.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Go out looking very miserable.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Well, it doesn't get much closer than that.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28The Reds pipped at the post by just £2.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Coming up,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31two more teams are on the hunt for bargains.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34But first, I'm off to somewhere absolutely spiffing.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Actually, 120 miles down the M1 from Derby to Hatfield House.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49The original Hatfield Palace was built around 1485
0:27:49 > 0:27:52by John Morton, Bishop of Ely.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Then in 1607,
0:27:55 > 0:28:00the first Earl of Salisbury started to build Hatfield House.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05To this day, their descendants use it as a family home.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08All families have some colourful characters
0:28:08 > 0:28:09and Hatfield is no exception.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16It was one of these family members, the first Marchioness of Salisbury,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19who left a great impression on the place.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22The first marquis married Emily Mary Hill,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26who was described as domineering, striking
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and somewhat eccentric.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32She would, indeed, distribute golden coins
0:28:32 > 0:28:34from a velvet purse that she carried
0:28:34 > 0:28:37and literally throw them at the poor.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40She gambled deep into the night
0:28:40 > 0:28:43and was riding to hounds even in her eighties.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45She also had the rare distinction
0:28:45 > 0:28:47of burning down the west wing here at Hatfield,
0:28:47 > 0:28:53which apparently happened in 1835, when she was 85,
0:28:53 > 0:29:00when her vast, tall coiffure caught alight on a stray candle
0:29:00 > 0:29:03and she burnt the west wing down.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07This set of 14 dining chairs is a further reminder
0:29:07 > 0:29:09of the first Marchioness.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12If you go to pick them up, you find that they're incredibly heavy.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16That's because they're made of a Chinese hardwood
0:29:16 > 0:29:18called hua huang li.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22But there's something curious about the dating.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Because on the back of this chair,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26it says in an oval reserve,
0:29:26 > 0:29:31"EMS", which are the First Marchioness's initials.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35And it says T. LeBlanc LLD.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40And Mr LeBlanc apparently was a lawyer and neighbour
0:29:40 > 0:29:44and he presented these chairs to Lady Salisbury,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48as it says here, in 1819.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52So he has presented to the first Marchioness this set of chairs
0:29:52 > 0:29:55but if you look at the style of the chair,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57with this pierced splat back,
0:29:57 > 0:30:01these incredibly old-fashioned cabriole legs,
0:30:01 > 0:30:04the style of the chair is more like 1740.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07So it's a mystery.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10There's another mystery to solve, of course, today
0:30:10 > 0:30:14and that is exactly how much profit are our teams going to make?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Back at Derby University, two more sets of Reds and Blues
0:30:19 > 0:30:22are about to take our experts to task.
0:30:23 > 0:30:29Today, we have the amazing Red duo of mother and son, with Andrew and Hillary.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Welcome. And for the Blues good friends, Lydia and Marley.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Welcome. Now, you two as a mother and son combo are going to be the most amazing team?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- I hope so.- Definitely.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Yes! It says here that Andrew is going to be very good for bargaining
0:30:42 > 0:30:45and Hillary is going to be good at ensuring a profit.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- I hope so.- Yes.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50You ought to be all right at this, Hillary.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Yes, I am an accountant, so I do know how profits, in theory, are calculated.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Whether we'll be so lucky today I don't know, but I hope so.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- And in your spare time you like to go tap dancing?- Indeed, I do.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Have you got your tap shoes? - I didn't bring them, sorry.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- Bring them to the auction, that would be fun. - If you would like me to, OK.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Andrew, you're a great fan of dancing too. - I am, but no particular form.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- I just bust loose. - Oh, do you?- Oh, yes.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- But you are musical, aren't you? - I'm the lead guitarist of a band.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18What's the name?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- It's The Backfire Effect. - I love the name.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23No, we don't!
0:31:23 > 0:31:26And what do you do when you're not getting your groove in?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I'm a student at Northampton University.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33I was going to be a computer games designer, but then after a year, as Mum would say,
0:31:33 > 0:31:37bit of an epiphany, I said, "I want to be a primary school teacher."
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- So, off I went to Northampton and here I am.- I think you're going to do very well today.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43How do you two know each other?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I met Marley in a club.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48We were a little bit drunk and dancing to Stevie Wonder.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52After that, I go to a lot of car boot sales
0:31:52 > 0:31:55and Marley had never been, so I took him. Now we're boot buddies.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Boot buddies, that sounds such fun.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- You're both students?- Yes.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02And what are you studying, Lydia?
0:32:02 > 0:32:08I did my degree in fashion and I'm now studying at Derby University to do my teaching qualification.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10You want to start your own fashion business?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Yeah, and I've got a little present for you.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Great! What's in your box?
0:32:14 > 0:32:19- It is... I don't believe this! Look! - A rollable Panama hat. I'll put this on the floor.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21You knew this was going to be my favourite!
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Oh, I knew. We've seen you in your hat.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Lydia, tell me about these, because they're very special.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29It's a Fair Trade rollable Panama and it's a leno weave
0:32:29 > 0:32:33and this one is a more circular weave, so it's more durable.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37So, you've brought me something really fab, which I shall wear a lot, yes.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Now, Marley, what are you studying, mate?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43I'm studying cultural studies and music here at Derby Uni, as well.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46What do you intend doing when you finish?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50I think I'm going to go on to do a PGCE and do primary school music teaching.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53It was an epiphany, like yours, that I wanted to do that.
0:32:53 > 0:33:00- Anyway, we've got most interesting teams today, but here comes the money moment.- £300 apiece.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Thank you.- You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Hang on, I've spotted something.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- What's that?- It's, like, proper old opera glasses.- Opera glasses!
0:33:14 > 0:33:17You see quite a lot of opera glasses
0:33:17 > 0:33:19and these are particularly nice because of this handle.
0:33:19 > 0:33:25Chevalier is the name, so that is rather nice having the name around there.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27And you've got this lovely handle.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28If you just look at this...
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- That looks like rope.- Yes, it does.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34There's string on there and then this gilt metal has been tooled
0:33:34 > 0:33:37and engraved and mother-of-pearl on the handle as well.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Now, the price here is 55,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42which I don't think is too bad.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46At auction these could make anything from £20 to £40, £50.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48What do you think about buying these?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50We've got to get them to a good price...
0:33:50 > 0:33:54We have. Why don't I go and have a chat with the stallholder?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Have a look and see if there's anything else you fancy. - No problem.- OK.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02Kate does her stuff and manages to negotiate it down to £35.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Pity she couldn't get them for a tenner, eh?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Opera glasses, tenner. Get it?
0:34:07 > 0:34:11So, six minutes in and the Reds have bought the first thing they've seen.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Some might call that a risky move,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16and the Blues have spotted something they're keen on.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Sometimes things just shout out at you.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- I can't say... - He's got a nice expression.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- He has got a nice expression. - A dog lover might like it.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Exactly. - Oh, I really like him, actually.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32Well, I do like him. It's Delft, so Delft is a Dutch brand of pottery and Delft began manufacturing
0:34:32 > 0:34:37in the 15th or 16th century and they were trying to emulate the Chinese
0:34:37 > 0:34:41porcelain which was absolutely fine and beautiful and this was
0:34:41 > 0:34:42about the best we could ever get.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- He's very nice. - Because of his expression
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- someone will fall in love with him. - I think you're right...
0:34:48 > 0:34:52It's the kind of thing two people might really fall in love with and you'll get one of them.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- That's true.- Price-wise, what's the absolute best?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well, I was looking for around 100,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- but I'm open to offers.- 85?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- Yes, that's fine. - Thanks very much. Brilliant.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06At least the Blues are smiling.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10So, that's one-all. These teams don't hang about!
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Here's the jewellery box that I was telling you about.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Lovely red leather and with this handle on the top.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Open it up and it's got that nice interior.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26Oh, you can see the scissors and the mark of the needle and other sewing implements stored in there.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29That's what originally would have been there. You've got the little tray
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- and then the fittings for jewellery.- Oh, yes.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36And you've got little trays for your trinkets, your necklaces.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39I asked my Brownies what I should get and they said go for
0:35:39 > 0:35:45a jewellery box and stuff to keep your jewellery in, so that would fit that, but it doesn't quite...
0:35:45 > 0:35:49It wouldn't be my personal taste. Would it make a profit?
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- Well, that's marked at £52. - That's a lot of money.- A bit dear
0:35:53 > 0:35:54for something in that condition.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Hi, your jewellery box, what can you do on the price for us?
0:35:58 > 0:35:59You've got it marked at 52.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02I could do it for 32, if that's a help.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0332.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- That is better.- It is better. Perhaps come back to it?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10There's always the chance that somebody else might buy it.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13We like it, don't take it personally. It's nice.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I will knock the two pounds off and come down to 30.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18I'm teetering on a no at the moment.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- I'm teetering on a yes.- Oh, no!
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Should we do Rock, Paper, Scissors?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Go on, then.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26One, two, three!
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- I've never seen this done. - One, two, three!- Oh, no!
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- We have it. - OK, let's have it, please.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- £30?- £30.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37The Reds certainly know how to make a decision
0:36:37 > 0:36:41and over with the Blues something's grabbed Lydia's attention.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- Is that a water filter? My dad's got a...- A spirit barrel.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Oh, a spirit barrel. - It looks like Doulton.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51It's that kind of salt glaze brown work. Let's have a look.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Look on the bottom.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54It's not stamped Doulton, but it's got that look.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58A spirit barrel, so that would be where your tap would come out.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59What spirit would you put in?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01A cheap one.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05You go for quantity, I think, not quality.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Too expensive.- Yeah. - It's probably 1880.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- Do you fancy it?- Do you, Marley?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14I think because it's salt glaze it's quite interesting, but it's not...
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Sometimes you get the nice little tigery-looking bits in salt glaze, don't you?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- But it looks quite... - Do you really? - Do you know what I mean?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23I don't, but you're teaching me!
0:37:23 > 0:37:24You know too much, you do.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Well, I think, are we happy with that, you two?
0:37:27 > 0:37:28- Marley, are you sure?- Yeah.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I think it's a go for you. 50 quid?
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- I think we might do all right and if we don't it's an interesting item, as well.- It is.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Thanks very much. - It's an absolute pleasure.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43They're just knocking out the deals today, so just over 20 minutes down and that's two buys each.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47This was just on the stall here and I've just spotted it and whisked it away.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Now, guess what that is? - Is it a plant pot?
0:37:50 > 0:37:55It could be a Roman oil dish of some sort, I don't know.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Some sort of reservoir. - I'll tell you exactly what it is.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Go on, then.- It's a dog bowl.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- A dog bowl! - That would be why I wouldn't know.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- Are you dog lovers?- No. - I'm allergic to them.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12Well, because these were used quite a lot, late 19th century, these were often broken.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Right.- Let me tell you a bit about it.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16No factory marks on the bottom whatsoever.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- No.- But it is stoneware.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Yes.- It's salt glazed and it's got this lovely raised frieze,
0:38:23 > 0:38:24can you see, all the way round?
0:38:24 > 0:38:29There was a little factory not far from here in Chesterfield
0:38:29 > 0:38:34called Brampton and I think this is possibly a Brampton stoneware piece.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- That's really interesting. - It is.- And practical.- Exactly!
0:38:37 > 0:38:42- I'm thinking of you with your practicalities and it's definitely made to be used.- Yes.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- How much?- I've managed to negotiate 75 for you guys.- 75.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48You're quite excited about it.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50I am, I am.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51- OK.- Let's do it.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- Right.- Are you sure, now?- Yes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55We'll shake on it.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57OK.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01So, all three items picked in only half an hour.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02That must be a record!
0:39:02 > 0:39:06But will they have wished that they had shopped around when it comes to the auction?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Over with the Blues, there's no stopping that Lydia.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11What is it then, Lydia, that you like about that?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I liked the little bird on it and I liked the colours.
0:39:14 > 0:39:20It's probably Tibetan and it's something that might hold oil or perfume or snuff.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Do you think it would do well at auction?
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Well, I don't think so, because, again, we're going to a general sale,
0:39:26 > 0:39:29so it might be lost on people. Unless you really want to go for it.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32I do like it. I could see you wearing that, Marley.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33I'd wear it around my neck.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Or in your hair!
0:39:36 > 0:39:39How much do you reckon it's worth maybe at auction?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Well, this is the exciting thing, about auction.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Who on earth knows? So, what do you reckon?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- It does look really interesting.- How much do you reckon you'd pay for it?
0:39:47 > 0:39:48About 35.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53- That would be OK, wouldn't it? Try a bit more. I'd try 30 and see what they say.- OK.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55OK. Go on, we'll leave it to you.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- Hiya, could we get this for 30? - Would you be happy at that?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00I'd be happy at 30, definitely.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01It's a nice little object.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Here he comes.- Now, how much then?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- What did you get it for? - I got it for 35.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- And you're happy?- Yeah, I'm happy. - Lydia, are you happy?- Very happy.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I'm happy because you've bought your items. Cup of tea time.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Wa-ay!
0:40:13 > 0:40:17So, the Blues have their final item and all in a record 45 minutes.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21So let's remind ourselves what the teams have bought.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Andrew didn't want to go solo
0:40:23 > 0:40:27and convince the others to buy the French opera glasses.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32It may have taken Paper, Scissor, Stone to decide, but they plumped
0:40:32 > 0:40:35for the Edwardian red leather box for £30.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38And Kate convinced them that they would be
0:40:38 > 0:40:42in the money with the 19th century stoneware dog bowl.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Well, that was quite a zany shopping choosing method, wasn't it?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Different.- Scissors, Paper, Stone.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- If you don't know what on earth you're doing, why not play games? - Quite right.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55But tell me, Hillary, which is your favourite piece?
0:40:55 > 0:41:01With hindsight, I might not personally have chosen any of them, but actually...
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Charming that is, isn't it?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06I'll go with the jewellery box for the Brownies, yes.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- Andrew, which is your favourite piece?- My opera glasses. I'm very proud of them.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit in your prediction as a chartered accountant?
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- I sincerely hope the dog dish as that's what the expert recommended. - All right.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21You spent an average £140, all right?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24I'd like £160 of leftover lolly.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- There you go, Mum, check it out. - OK, Andrew gives it to his mother who probably counts it.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Thank you very much.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- £160 going across to KB. - Thank you very much.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36You've had a testing time with these professionals!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- I really did.- I know!
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Andrew, I sense, is a bit more of a gambler, but Hillary
0:41:41 > 0:41:44insisted on something practical, so I have my instructions.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46- Well, good luck with that. - Thank you.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51Let's remind ourselves what the Reds are up against by reminding ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58The Blues were barking mad about the blue dog Delft wine holder at £85.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01They still fancied a tipple
0:42:01 > 0:42:04and bought the 1880s stoneware liquor barrel.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07And Lydia thought it would look good in Marley's hair -
0:42:07 > 0:42:10the Tibetan snuff or perfume bottle.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Lydia, your knowledge certainly pulled off that.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- Well, hopefully, yeah.- Yes. Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:42:18 > 0:42:19- I like the Delft dog. - What about you, Marley?
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- I've got high hopes for the Tibetan snuff box.- Have you?
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Is it your prediction for the most profit, too?- Yes.- Is it?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28A double whammy on that, which is great.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29What about you, Lydia?
0:42:29 > 0:42:33The dog. We're quite opposite. I've got low hopes for the snuff box.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- What, you don't like the snuff box?- No.- No.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Oh, well, we shall find out. What fun! You spent 170, which is good.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43I'd like 130 of leftover lolly, thank you, for David Harper.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Thank you, Tim.- That's quite a lot.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- 130 for a bonus buy. - I've got a few things in mind, but I'm going to keep the suspense.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52In other words, I haven't got a clue of what it's going to be!
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- Well, that's extraordinarily honest. - Thank you.- And very good luck.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Well, it's great to be at Banford's Auction House in Derby with James Lewis.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Welcome.- Very kind. Now, our teams today,
0:43:05 > 0:43:09Hillary and Andrew, their first item are the opera glasses.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Yeah, slightly concerned about that.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13- A bit of cord wrapped around the handle.- This area?
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Yeah. I reckon there's been a little section of mother-of-pearl that's
0:43:17 > 0:43:21been broken and they've applied that cord to make it tie in with the bag.
0:43:21 > 0:43:27What do you think it's worth in that state, then, with its rough bag and later-strung handle?
0:43:27 > 0:43:29I don't know. Around £40 to £60, you think?
0:43:29 > 0:43:30- Do you reckon?- Yeah.- £35 they paid.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Oh, that's good.
0:43:32 > 0:43:33What about this jewellery box?
0:43:33 > 0:43:37I like that. I like the leather ones with that sort of very slightly-worn gilt.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39£25 to £35.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41- They paid £30. - Oh, looking... Yeah.- Yes.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44- And now the dog bowl. - Yeah, I saw that coming.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47- You saw that coming.- It's not a dog bowl.- It's not a dog bowl?
0:43:47 > 0:43:49No. It could be one of two things.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53It is the base of either a large smoking stand or a water filter.
0:43:53 > 0:43:59So, it would have a domed base, then a cylindrical section here for tobacco, another section on top
0:43:59 > 0:44:04for cigarettes, or the water filter would just be a cylindrical section on the top with a cover.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08These smoker's stands or water coolers make around £60
0:44:08 > 0:44:12- to £80 complete, so the base of one is worth a fiver.- Oh, dear.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16Kate Bliss is going to be less than blissful about this, I can tell you.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19- Sorry, Kate.- So, about a fiver, then? - I do.- That's a disaster.
0:44:19 > 0:44:23They're going to need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26Now, Andrew and Hillary, you spent £140,
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- gave Kate £160.- We did. - What did she spend it on?
0:44:29 > 0:44:33Well, I spent it on a little piece of Derby.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37- Now, I know you like functional things, Hillary.- That's right.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41This is what's known as a little tea bowl and saucer
0:44:41 > 0:44:45and it would have been for drinking tea in the 18th century.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Have a look.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50- You have the tea bowl.- They hold it like that?- Exactly that.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54- That's beautiful.- It's aged. It's not aged too badly.
0:44:54 > 0:44:59This is a particularly nice example because of the condition, because of the decoration.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02- So, roughly what might go for, do you think?- Well, I paid £65,
0:45:02 > 0:45:07which I think in the current auction market is probably about right.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11It might make £70 or even £80 with a wind behind it.
0:45:11 > 0:45:17Team, you don't decide right now, you decide later. And with Kate's strategic thought in mind here,
0:45:17 > 0:45:23for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the tea bowl and saucer.
0:45:23 > 0:45:28- Isn't it lovely?- Lovely pattern- Yes. 18th century Derby with that wonderful puce mark underneath.
0:45:28 > 0:45:34- I like that a lot.- Well, we like the fact that you like it a lot, but how much a lot do you like it?
0:45:34 > 0:45:38- £50 to £70.- £65 Kate paid, so she might be in the money.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42- Yes, she might.- But not for a huge profit in your view.- No.- No. OK, fine.
0:45:42 > 0:45:48Well, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues. First up is this tin-glaze doggie.
0:45:48 > 0:45:49Isn't he great?
0:45:49 > 0:45:51How much do you think?
0:45:51 > 0:45:56- I should think an auction estimate should be £50 to £80. - £85 paid.- Oh, OK.- £85.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57I might be being a bit mean.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00- Well, of course there are a lot of dog lovers about.- Yeah.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02The stoneware liquor barrel.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07We sell loads of them and they tend to make around £25, £35, when they're chipped.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Well, that's the point, isn't it?
0:46:10 > 0:46:13It's chipped. They paid £50, so that's going to be tough, isn't it?
0:46:13 > 0:46:19- Yeah, it is.- Now, to finish their trio we've got something that you're going to get really excited about.
0:46:19 > 0:46:23- Yes.- I know how much you love modern Tibetan snuff boxes.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25I hate it. It's awful.
0:46:25 > 0:46:30- It's just the most nasty thing. - There you are, I told you he'd like it!
0:46:30 > 0:46:33But the truth of the matter is, it's worth what, two or three pounds?
0:46:33 > 0:46:38- Five pounds?- It's awful. - That type of amount.- Yes.- OK. We've got the message.
0:46:38 > 0:46:43- OK.- Well, I won't tell you that Lydia paid £35 for it.- Good, good. - Because it will spoil your day.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46They'll need their bonus buy so let's go have a look at it.
0:46:46 > 0:46:52- A solid silver Chester 1913 letter opener.- Oh!
0:46:52 > 0:46:54Quite plain, but I think quite sophisticated.
0:46:54 > 0:47:00- I like the little penguin. - That's why I bought it.- Yeah.- It's wacky, isn't it?- It is pretty wacky.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04- A guy in 1913 would put a picture of his lovely wife in there.- Or a dog.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07Or a dog, his child, but this guy loved penguins.
0:47:07 > 0:47:12- Now, that fascinates me, Tim! - Wonky penguins, as well. - Wonky penguins!- Yes.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14What do you think, Marley?
0:47:14 > 0:47:19- Is it something that lights your touch paper?- Not that much of a fan of it, to be honest.
0:47:19 > 0:47:25- What, of penguins or the thing? - Everything. It seems really plain. It doesn't seem that special to me.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27- How much did you spend on it? - 50 quid.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- 50 quid, fine.- There you go. - We'll have a think.- Do.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32I've heard that before!
0:47:32 > 0:47:36- That means I'll never see you again! - Well, you can p-pick up a p-penguin or not later.
0:47:36 > 0:47:42For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little penguin.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44- Super.- Isn't that nice? - Really nice, isn't it?
0:47:44 > 0:47:47I guess you could use it as a letter opener or a bookmark
0:47:47 > 0:47:49with that little bit at the top.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53- It would be better with a lovely watercolour miniature of a dog or something like that.- Yes.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56But it is what it is. What do you think it's worth?
0:47:56 > 0:47:59- £40 to £60. - Brilliant. David paid £50.- Oh, fine.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01So, for a bonus buy, that's quite safe.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03Yes, yes.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Seven, eight, nine.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11Here we are on the edge of the auctioneering.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Andrew, how are you feeling? Nervous?
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- Excited.- Are you?- Oh, yes.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20That's good. Now, do you regret anything that you bought, Hillary?
0:48:20 > 0:48:23- Yes, I do. Yes.- What?
0:48:23 > 0:48:28- In particular, the dog bowl. - Which turns out apparently not to be a dog bowl,
0:48:28 > 0:48:31though it looks just like a dog bowl, it feels just like a dog bowl,
0:48:31 > 0:48:35it tastes just like a dog bowl, but in fact it's a bit of something else.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38But there we are. These things happen.
0:48:38 > 0:48:43So, I have an apology to make to you two because I'm the one that told you it was a dog bowl.
0:48:43 > 0:48:48- It isn't a dog bowl, or it's found not to be a dog bowl, so I'm afraid...- That's all right.
0:48:48 > 0:48:53- We should have stood up to you and said no.- It's much fault ours as it is yours.- Indeed it is.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57It looks just like a dog bowl. I can be more optimistic I'm glad to say, Andrew,
0:48:57 > 0:49:03- about your opera glasses. - Oh, lovely.- Which you paid £35 for. The auctioneer thinks they're good.
0:49:03 > 0:49:07£40 to £60 is his estimate on that, so that's a nice result and here they come.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11The French gilt metal and mother-of-pearl opera glasses
0:49:11 > 0:49:14and I can start the bidding here at £35. 35 and 40.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17- 40 with the lady.- Yes!
0:49:17 > 0:49:1945. 50. And five. 55 now?
0:49:19 > 0:49:22At £50 to the right. 55, do I see?
0:49:22 > 0:49:27At 50. And selling at £50. 55 do I see?
0:49:27 > 0:49:29- Good!- Whoa!- £50 plus 15.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Are you after my job or something?
0:49:31 > 0:49:35- Well, I'm glad you spied that. - Well done.- Now the jewellery box.
0:49:35 > 0:49:39Late Victorian Edwardian red Morocco leather box and cover.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42It's got a good country house look to it.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44£20, do I see? At 20. And five now.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47At £20 and five with me. 30.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Five. 40. It's against you.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52- At 35 and 40 do I see? - You're in profit.
0:49:52 > 0:49:5635. Absentee bid and selling at 35.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59That's five pounds, which is brilliant.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Kicked the bucket, which is plus 20.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04You are £20 up. Now, the dog bowl.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Well, it is whatever you want it to be
0:50:07 > 0:50:10with this dog bowl/water filter base/smoking stand base.
0:50:10 > 0:50:15It's a bit of local salt glaze anyway and I can start the bidding
0:50:15 > 0:50:18at £20 somewhere. 20? Anybody want it at 10?
0:50:18 > 0:50:21£10? Anybody want it?
0:50:21 > 0:50:23- Me?- It cost a lot of money.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26Get them out of a hole. £10, please?
0:50:26 > 0:50:30Five. Five pounds. I thought we were going to have a Bargain Hunt first.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32At five. No bids at all. Five.
0:50:32 > 0:50:36Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. 10. 12.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39At £10. At 10. And 12 do I see?
0:50:39 > 0:50:42- Minus £65.- Are we?
0:50:42 > 0:50:45- So, very quickly you are overall minus £45.- Correct.
0:50:45 > 0:50:53OK, minus 45. The accountant looking over my shoulder is able to do the profit and loss just like that.
0:50:53 > 0:50:58So, you are minus £45. Minus £45. What are we going to do about the tea bowl?
0:50:58 > 0:51:03Now, minus £45 is a dirty shame, but it could be a winning score.
0:51:03 > 0:51:09- You don't have to go with the tea bowl. What are you going to do?- I think we should.
0:51:09 > 0:51:10And here it comes.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13A really pretty lot this one, circa 1775, and I've got three bids on it
0:51:13 > 0:51:19and they're all almost identical and £60 is bid.
0:51:19 > 0:51:20- Wow!- And five do I see?
0:51:20 > 0:51:23At £60. 65. 70. And five.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26- 75 by the door. And 80.- That's good.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28- Well done.- At £75 to the right.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30And 80 anywhere? At 75.
0:51:30 > 0:51:34All done at £75? At 75.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38Well done, Kate. £75, that's not bad, it's another £10 profit
0:51:38 > 0:51:43- which is brilliant, which means overall you are minus £35.- Yes!- Not too bad.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45- That is not too bad, all right?- Yes.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48So, don't tell the Blues a sausage.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56- Now, Lydia and Marley, have you been talking to the Reds?- No, we haven't.
0:51:56 > 0:52:00- They're keeping their mouths tightly closed. - Well and truly zipped.- Yeah.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03It's a long time to wait. Are you feeling nervous?
0:52:03 > 0:52:06- A bit nervous, but quietly confident.- What about you, Lydia?
0:52:06 > 0:52:09Yeah, we'll have to see.
0:52:09 > 0:52:15The first item, David, is that nice tin-glazed dog vessel with the revolving head,
0:52:15 > 0:52:18- which I have to say I think is a handsome fellow, isn't he?- Yeah.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20And you paid £85 for it, which is a good price.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24He has put £50 to £80 on it. And it's coming up now.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27We have three commission bids on this lot.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30This is the Delft tin-glaze pottery jar and cover
0:52:30 > 0:52:32of the little dog sitting there begging.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35Begging to be bought.
0:52:35 > 0:52:39And where shall we start it? Well, I've got one bid of £80 to start.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42- Come on, James. - 85 now.- Go for it.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44- 85. 90. 95.- Go on!
0:52:44 > 0:52:49No. At £90. With me at 90. It's against you at the back of the room.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52- A profit is a profit.- It's true.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55A profit's a profit. You are five pounds up on that.
0:52:55 > 0:52:59I told you it was a good one. Now, your stoneware barrel.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03Treacle-glazed stoneware liquor barrel and £20 starts it.
0:53:03 > 0:53:0420 and two now.
0:53:04 > 0:53:0822, front row. 25 and 28 for you. 28 has it.
0:53:08 > 0:53:15- Front row at £28. Anybody else?- Man! - At £28.- No!
0:53:15 > 0:53:20That's 28. You're two shy of 30, which means you're minus 22.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24- We've saved the best for last! - This will bring it all back. - It's minus 22.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28- Oh, yeah, the Tibetan thing!- Which means you're minus £17 overall.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31- OK, lot 677.- OK, here comes Tibetan.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Is this Eastern white metal perfume bottle or snuff.
0:53:34 > 0:53:39Where shall we start this? £25 for it? 20, then?
0:53:39 > 0:53:41- Anybody want it at ten?- Uh-oh.
0:53:41 > 0:53:46- What?- Five. Five pounds bid. By the door at five. And eight do I see?
0:53:46 > 0:53:49Eight. 10. At £10 by the door. At 10 and 12 do I see?
0:53:49 > 0:53:51- It's not looking good.- That's awful.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55Are we all done at 10? Oh, dear.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59£10 is minus £25.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03So, that's 17, 37, 42.
0:54:03 > 0:54:08Minus £42, OK? Minus £42.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10Let's hope the Reds didn't do so well!
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Now, listen, minus £42 could be a winning score, all right?
0:54:13 > 0:54:18- You have to think carefully now what to do here. - Oh, yeah, because we've got the...
0:54:18 > 0:54:22You're not going to go home with a lump of profit. £42 down the drain.
0:54:22 > 0:54:29It could be a winning score or you can chance it, risk it for a biscuit, pick up a penguin
0:54:29 > 0:54:31and, you know, run on with it. What do you think?
0:54:31 > 0:54:33- We might as well.- Do it, yeah.
0:54:33 > 0:54:35We're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.

0:54:39 > 0:54:42and it's hallmarked for Chester 1913
0:54:42 > 0:54:47and I can start the bidding here at £30 and five anywhere? 35. 40.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53- At £50. 55 now? 55.- Yes!
0:54:53 > 0:54:5760. At £60. Still with me at 60.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03Go on, James!
0:55:03 > 0:55:07- At 60. It's not me, it's that one! Go on, one more. No.- Aw!
0:55:07 > 0:55:09And selling at £60.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13£60 is a £10 profit. Good boy.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16- That's knocked a bit off... - Yeah, our losses!
0:55:16 > 0:55:21Minus £32. You're minus £32. It could be a winning score. You made a right decision there.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24Your man delivered the goods and what more could you ask?
0:55:24 > 0:55:27This could be a winning score, so don't chat to the Reds, all right?
0:55:27 > 0:55:28- Yeah.- Lips sealed up.
0:55:30 > 0:55:3260.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Well, how exciting is this?
0:55:37 > 0:55:41This is a competition that is almost too close to call.
0:55:41 > 0:55:46- No!- There's three pounds between the teams.- No!
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Each team went with the bonus buy
0:55:49 > 0:55:53and each team made a profit of £10
0:55:53 > 0:56:00- and the team that is marginally behind are the Reds.- Hurrah!
0:56:00 > 0:56:03- But there is only three pounds in it.- That's amazing!
0:56:03 > 0:56:05It is amazing, isn't it?
0:56:05 > 0:56:10- And you have been a great team. I hope you've enjoyed it.- It's been lovely.- It's been great fun.

0:56:18 > 0:56:23- Made a nice profit on the penguin letter opener.- Thank you, David. - That's all right.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25Overall you are minus £32, so very sadly
0:56:25 > 0:56:29- you're not going home with any pound notes in your pocket.- That's OK.
0:56:29 > 0:56:34But you can wear the mantle with pride as the victors today on Bargain Hunt.
0:56:34 > 0:56:40- I hope you've had a great time. We have. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
