# Frosty the snowman | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
# Was a jolly happy soul | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
#With a corncob pipe | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
# And a button nose And two eyes made out of coal... # | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Oh ho ho, it's brass monkey weather. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
It is freezing! | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
If there's one thing, though, that will warm the cockles of your heart... | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
let's go bargain hunting! | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
Welcome to Bargain Hunt, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
from the International Antiques and Collectors Fair in Newark. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
This is Europe's largest antiques event. It is absolutely ginormous. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:59 | |
If our teams can't find what they're looking out for today, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
they should have stayed at home! | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
They'll be up against it, though, as their one hour of shopping time will just fly by. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
So the £300 we give them had better be spent wisely, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
as what they do pick up | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
will go under the hammer at auction, and any profit they do make... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
No. Going at £38. Thank you. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
..they get to pocket. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
We've got a special edition of the programme today, a double bill with | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
not two but four teams, trying their hand at a spot of bargain hunting. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
We've got Reds and Blues coming out of our ears! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
Stand by to meet the first of our intrepid teams. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
I hope they are dressed for the weather! | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
So here they are. For the Reds, we've got Susie and Charlotte. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
-And battling for the Blues we've got Graham and Lee. Welcome to Bargain Hunt. -Hello, Tim. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
-Hi. -Lovely to see you. Now, you're both in your third year at Sheffield University. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:57 | |
-How did you first meet? -We both study the same course, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
so we met through that. We got on well and decided we'd go travelling together. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
-You kind of bonded up as a result of that experience. -It was a bonding experience. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
Charlotte, would you say you drive a hard bargain in foreign parts? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
I do my best, but most of the time | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
I do come back with quite a lot of rubbish. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
Any particular disasters with what you bought? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
We did our best to try and bargain on these glasses which we thought were pretty good, quite beautiful. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
-We got them back as a present for our housemates, have a welcome home drink. -What happened? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
The minute you put liquid in them the paint fell off. Our housemates had paint all over their face. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:34 | |
A huge joke, though. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
-Yep. -That doesn't bode too well for today, does it? -Not really. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-Well, good luck. -Thank you. -We hope you have a great time on Bargain Hunt today. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
Now for the Blues, both of whom are at Sheffield Hallam University. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
-Now, do you know these girls at all? -No. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
-I bet you'd like to! -Oh, yes! | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
How did you two meet, Graham? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
We were on our induction to university | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
and we were walking around getting the usual tour. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
And this boy - or man, I'm not sure which - came up and spoke to me. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
And I looked at him a couple of times because there's this broad, broad, broad Yorkshire accent. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
Apparently he's asked me, do I want to go to the pub? But it came out a bit like, "Wanna go t'pub?" | 0:03:07 | 0:03:13 | |
-What are you studying? -We're both studying primary school teaching. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
-Second year. -Great. Lee, you and Graham have a bit of a sideline. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
That's right, we're part-time clowns, believe it or not. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
I do believe it. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
We've been on teaching placements at school. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
We did a few activities with the kids like balloon modelling. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
They went home and told their parents and one of the parents | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
at the school asked us to come in to do a party for the children. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
-Will you be able to make anything for us today? -We'll have a go, yeah. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
-As if by magic... -Oh, yes. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
OK, so you've got three seconds starting now. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
It's not perfect, but three seconds isn't a lot of time. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
How good is that? I think a little round of applause. That is fantastic. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
Is that for me? That's very kind, I'm going to pass that over to the Reds. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
That's your lucky mascot for today. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
Now, the money moment. Here is your £300. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
And very, very good luck. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
So which of the teams will be passing their antiques examinations with flying colours? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:15 | |
And which will be going for retakes? | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
Let's hope the men who will assist them in their search today have been revising. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
Brains and beauty - hmm - will be helping the Blues | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
in the form of Mark Stacey. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
And tutoring the Reds in the study of antiques is David Harper. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
The hour...starts now. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-Right, are you ready? -Yep. Ready. -Are you sure? -Sure. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
Let's go, come on. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Um, I wouldn't go for that, no. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
It's nice, but I wouldn't... No, I wouldn't go for that. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
-What kind of things do you like? -Decorative things. -Something pretty. -Pretty-pretty. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-And shiny. -No, not pretty and shiny. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
You sound like magpies! | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
I like the look of this, guys. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
-What do you think? -It's lovely. -It's pretty. Very plain. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
Well, it is very plain, but people like that nowadays. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Ah, now, this is a good sign. Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
Made in England. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
-Is there any damage? -Not as far as I can see. I've run my finger | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
around the edge and I can't feel any chips or cracks, or around the base. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
The other key thing about this is, you see that funny little mark here? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
That's the monogram of one of most famous designers for Pilkington's, William S Mycock. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:32 | |
So this is quite a collectible piece, I think. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
I can't see a price to go on this, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
so shall we ask the gentleman how much he's asking for it? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
Excuse me. We're quite interested in this Pilkington's vase, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
-can you tell us the price, please? -120. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
-120? Is that your best, sir? -Very best would probably be a oner. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
-Oner? That's 100 in our language. -Mark, will it make a profit? | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
If I was putting that into sale, I'd certainly put 100-150 on it. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
-Do you like it? -I do like it. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 | |
-Good. -I think we should go for it. -I've got one ally here. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
So, while the Blues have got themselves a possible profit, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
the girls are still on the search for something shiny! | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
How about those swans behind them? They're pretty. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-I think the wings open up. -Do they? OK. -I really like those ones. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-Oh, they're very lovely. -A pair as well. -Swan salts. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
-Girls would like those. -That would be a really nice romantic gift. -Really? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
Yeah. For a husband to give to a wife. How much are they? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
-37 for the pair. -I want to buy them. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
Do you not like them? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:33 | |
I don't think you'd make any money. Let's go through these quickly. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
A pair of salts. You know what they're for obviously. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
They go on the dinner table, you bung your salt in and you sprinkle your salt. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
It's all part of the eating experience. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
Things like this really make eating more pleasurable. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-Precisely. -I agree. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
What's the best on the two salts? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-What's on them? -37. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-37 the pair. -30 quid the pair. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
Offer him a bit less. Go on, you do it. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-They're going to charm you here. -< 25. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
They haven't even said anything and it's working! | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
After turning on even more charm, the girls paid £22 for the swans. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:11 | |
The Blues already had one item in the bag, but it's getting harder to come to a decision. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
What's this here, Mark? | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
No, I don't like that. I don't think I like it anyway. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-Oh, I don't know. -£65 it's got on it. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
-Lee. -It's actually quite nice quality. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
I mean, if you look, you've got a duck here. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-I hadn't noticed that. -And it's also stained in colour. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
How old would it be, is it modern? | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
I'm just trying to work out if it's modern. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
Where would it come from? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
I would have thought the colonies somewhere. What do you think of it? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-I really like it. -I do like it. I can see Tim walking with it. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
Is that 165 or 65? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
You see, I like that. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
-That's a quality object. -I thought that was a pound sign. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
165's an awful lot. Is it something we could leave until the final thing? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
We could ask him to hold it for us. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
I'd thought it was a WOMAN'S prerogative to change her mind! | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
So the Blues didn't make a decision on the walking stick, | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
leaving them still with two items to buy. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
The Reds are back at their favourite stall, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
which offers a buffet of shiny treats for the girls. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-Mother of pearl. What do you think it is? -Is it a cigar case? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-No, it's a card case. -Is it? -Yes, for your business cards. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
-I like it! -I like it. -Isn't it, yes, very nice. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
That's a cigarette case, or a cigar case. Actually that's very posh. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-How much is it? -I must say I prefer that. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-Is that a good price? -I don't know. What's the absolute death on the cigar case? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-What's the price on it? -145. -It would have to be 110, the death. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
That would represent a small profit. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-70 wouldn't buy it? -It wouldn't. I paid more. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
I paid £90 for that. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:46 | |
And I had to put a couple of new panels on it. I do want the 110. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |
-It might touch 100. -I tell you what you'd do better with. Have a look at that book. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-< Now touch the corner. -Oh, wow. -< It's a drinking flask. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
That's very nice. | 0:08:58 | 0:08:59 | |
-If you look at the title, it's The 19th Hole. -What's the best on that? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-95. -Do you think that would sell, though? -I do, I do, I do. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
You couldn't do it for 60? | 0:09:05 | 0:09:06 | |
Again, I paid more. I'll knock another fiver off and do it for 90. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
< I think that's a very fair price. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-What do you think? -Erm... -How much would it get at auction? | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
I think it might do 100 quid and a bit, mightn't it? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
In the right sale, you could do 120-140. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-Let's go for it, I'm up for it. -I think it's a good idea. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-All right, we'll have it at that, 90. -Brilliant. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
Guys, I think we need to speed up. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Because we are going to run out of time. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-I'm in a bit of a stress at the moment. -Come on, you two. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-That's 38, too much for them. -Hello, how are you? | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
-Mark, are these real silver? -Let's have a look. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
Oh, yes, they are, you know. They're little bonbon dishes. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
Is that Mappin and Webb? I think they are. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
-Yes. > -Mappin and Webb. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
These are hallmarks for Birmingham with the anchor. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
What do you think? You spotted it. | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
It's pretty. It's got some weight behind it as well. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
They're for, you can imagine, after dinner. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
You'd put little bonbons, something like that in it, | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
and just have them on the table. (You could get that for maybe £40.) | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-We could try. -Do you want to ask her? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
-Do you like them? -I do like them, yeah. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-Go on. -I like the shape. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
The lowest was £45, leaving them £160 for their last item, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
but only 10 minutes to get it in. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
Don't you like him? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
How can you not like him? | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
That?! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
-He's gorgeous. He's cute. -He has got orange eyes. -Oh! -(Sorry!) | 0:10:33 | 0:10:39 | |
-How much is it? -12 quid. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 | |
It's not expensive. You cannot fail to love him. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
-What, date-wise, he's gotta be... -At least 500 years old! | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
I wish he was. This will get you. Ready? | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
Look, he jumps around. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
That is honestly one of the most hideous things I've ever seen. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
You can't tell me that doesn't blow your mind? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Oh, it is quite cute. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
It's a bloody hopping, red-eyed freakish monkey! | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
Maybe we should leave him for a different owner. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
We've seen a nice writing desk. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
If I don't like it, will you have him? | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
-But it's expensive, it's got faults on it. -I don't know... | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
We've all got faults. Come on. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
You stand your ground, girls, but get a move on. Time is ticking away. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
Doulton ashtray, that's fine. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
We'd best rush, I think. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
-We've got one minute. -Let's look at one more stall and then we can go back and buy the monkey. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
With only a minute left, the Blues head back to buy the walking stick. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
Listen carefully. Here's how NOT to negotiate. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:43 | |
We would really like to buy this stick. It's great. And...yeah. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
I was wondering if there was any chance you would take 130 for it? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
I'm sorry, absolutely no chance at all, 140 is what I need. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-140 it is, then. -OK. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-Brilliant, thank you very much. -You're welcome. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
See what I mean? The Blues are done, the pressure is on for the Reds. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
With seconds to spare they've decided on their third buy, | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
and, no, it's not the monkey. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
Was the cigar case, £80? I can't remember. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
-That's 110. -Can you meet us halfway, £100? -Please, it's our last stall. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
-Please. -I'll do it for 100. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
-That's it, literally to the second. -To the second? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
-Well done. -Good work. -Thank you very much. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
So, has all that brain power and edu-ma-cation paid off | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
with some profitable purchases? Let's find out. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
Let's recap on what the Reds bought. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
The blonde magpies fell in love with the £22 swans. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
They do say love is blind, though. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
At £90, will they hit a hole in one at the auction | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
with the leather-bound flask? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
The cigar case was a last-minute purchase, | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
but is it a good one with £100 paid? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
Girls, it's the end of the day, it's going dark. How was that shopping experience, did you have fun? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:12 | |
-We had a brilliant time. -We really enjoyed it. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
You bought all those blingy, shiny, expensive things. I wish you the best with that lot. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
£212 you spent. I'd like £88 of leftover lolly, | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
going to David Harper to find that bonus buy. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
Does that mean I've got to buy something bright and blingy? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
No! We want you to find something that's going to bring a big profit. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
-OK, can I buy something I really like? -If it makes a big profit. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
Off you go, David, and good luck. Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
The Pilkington vase wasn't a hit with Graham, but Lee and Mark | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
are convinced it will make a solid profit and paid £100. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
Solid silver and a well-known maker, but will that be enough | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
to get the bidders interested in the £45 silver bonbon dishes? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
Like the Reds, the Blues had a last-minute decision to make | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
and walked off with the Mexican carved stick for £140. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
So, Graham and Lee, that was a bit of a panic, wasn't it? | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
-Down to the last couple of minutes for your final item. -Rushing around. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:15 | |
Well, you spent a magnificent £285, I'm really chuffed about that. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
£15 of leftover lolly, please. There you go, Mark. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
-Now, what are you going to do with miserable £15? -Not an awful lot. -No. -I've seen a burger and chips! | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
Have you? Well, it won't be easy for you, but good luck. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
Well, it's great to be at Golding Young's saleroom in Grantham, with Colin Young. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-How nice to see you, Colin. How are you? -Good morning, Tim. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
-Very well indeed, thanks. -Feeling strong today? | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
-Feeling strong! -First up for our girls today, Suzie and Charlotte, we've got these little swan vases. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
-What do you make of those? -Always popular. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
Asprey's did a version in cut crystal with silver mounts. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-But... -They're not. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
-They're quite fun, aren't they? -They're quite good fun, just nominal sums. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
-Estimate we've put, 10-20. -They paid £22. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-So, it's not too far shy. -No. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
-What about this flask? -I love it, I think it's a brilliant item. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
Something that is a nice, easy, hide and deceive, | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
if you like a tipple or two. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
-What's it worth, though? -To be honest, I haven't got a clue. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
I haven't seen another one. I've put a good old guesstimate on it | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
of £40-£60, and just see how we fare with that. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
Exciting. Now, what about this mother-of-pearl cigar box? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
Nice and clean, all of the panels are still on. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
Nice combination, abalone shell, and mother of pearl. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
-What's your estimate on it? -We've put an estimate of £40-£60. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
-Cor! -I will be honest, I think that's probably the sort of money. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
Because you get card cases which are functionable and usable, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
and they usually make £40-£60 for the average ones, like this. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
OK, well, our girls will be disappointed, they paid £100. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
If you're right, they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
Charlotte and Susie, you spent £212, which is magnificent. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:02 | |
You gave David £88 to spend. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
Did he blow the lot? | 0:16:06 | 0:16:07 | |
Oh! We knew it! | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
I, yep, I guessed that. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
Come on, begin to love him. Look! Look what he does! | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-It doesn't look any better than earlier! -He's absolutely delightful. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
If I didn't buy him, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
-Do you think it will make a profit? -How much do you think? You know how much, I wanted you to buy him! | 0:16:21 | 0:16:26 | |
-A tenner. -Not very much! -A tenner. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
How much would you pay for him in an auction? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
-20, 30? -Really? -I really would. Honestly I would, yeah. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
I mean, you've got it honestly from the heart of the monkey... | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
I mean, from the man. He's predicting double your money. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-Hold that thought. -OK. We'll hold that thought. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
For the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's monkey. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
What about that little monkey, then? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-Very nice. He's got holes in him, he's got rust on his wires. -Yes. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
The positive is, people will love him, so they'll bid for him. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
And David's pleased with it. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:55 | |
So what's his worth? | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
We've put an estimate of £10- £20 on it, that sort of level. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
Great, cos he paid a tenner. And I think that's fine, don't you? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-Yep. -Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues - Graham and Lee. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
First up is the Pilkington's pot. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Perfect order, William Mycock, | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
very good artist, started at Pilkington's, 1894, | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
and this piece itself dates from 1932. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-They paid £100, what's your estimate? -I've put £100-£150. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
I think they stand a good chance of a profit. If they don't, there is no justice. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
Next is the so-called Mexican stick. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
I can't really see it exciting stick collectors. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
We've put an estimate of £20- £40 on it. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
Dear, oh dear! They paid £140! | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
£140 for the Mexican stick and you put £20-£40! | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
-This is terrible! -Let's just hope I'm wrong. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
Next is the kidney-shaped silver dishes. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
OK, they're not particularly old, 1963. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
But Mappin & Webb, good maker. So, yeah, they should do OK. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
-I suppose estimate-wise, £20-£40, something like that. -Is that all? | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-Yeah, what did they pay? -£45. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
They might get out of trouble with those. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
Because they are heavy gauge, so perhaps not the normal buyers will be going for them. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:06 | |
-Anyway, the problem there is this stick. -Mmm. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
So, bonus buy, I think they will need it. Let's have a look. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
So, Graham and Lee, you spent £285, you gave £15 to Mark. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
What did he spend it on? | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
I did! But I only spent £10 on it. Because I think it's rather fun. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
It's made by Colclough. It's probably from the 1950s. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
Graham, I have to ask you, what is it you've got on your head? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-Tea-cosy hat! -Very good. What do you have in front of you? | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
An elephant teapot. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Might your tea cosy go rather nicely on the elephant teapot? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Let's just see whether it goes. We've got a hole for the handle. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Oh, look at that! Perfect. A significant improvement, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
don't you think? No, no! | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
-That's nice. You obviously like it, don't you? -Yes. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
You don't decide right now. You decide later. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's pot. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
-One lump or two? -Definitely looks like one lump from here. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
The first thing that you see on it is there's a little bit of damage there. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
He's had his head chopped off at some stage. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
-What a shame. -Our estimate is 20-40. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
I tell you, that Mark Stacey, he won't mind. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
He only paid £10 for it. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:14 | |
Oh, excellent. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
So overall, some excitement ahead. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
Yes, unless they get a beating with that stick. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
We shall see. Thank you, Colin. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
12 bid. 12.50. 18... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
Now, girls. What do your mates, what do your student friends, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
think about you coming on Bargain Hunt? | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
I think they were positive about it. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
They don't think you're mad or anything? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
Slightly! I think they're quite looking forward to taking the mick out of us. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
Are they? We're on the edge of the auction now. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
-It's exciting, isn't it? -Very exciting. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
All these people, look at it. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
A pair of clear glass-moulded swans, | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
mounted with electroplated neck and folding wings. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
Who's going to start me with a bargain and start me at £36? | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
OK, £10 to go. Who's first in? 10 on the internet. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
Any more now at £10 bid? 12. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
The excitement continues. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:08 | |
15 now, do I see 15? He's hovering. 15 bid on the net. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
18. Have another bid in the room. 18 next, 18 bid. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
20 now, no, he's had enough. At 18 it's back in the room. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
20 anywhere else now? 20. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:20 | |
£20 bid. 22 now. Go on, please. £20 in the front row, to anywhere else? | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
Then going, all done and finished at £20. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
£20. Minus £2. That's not too bad. Now, your flask. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:32 | |
Lot number 71, quite an interesting lot, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
this, of golfing interest, it's an eight-ounce spirit flask. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
Who's going to start me at £50? 50. 30 to go, then, surely. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-30? 20 to go then, surely? -Are you kidding me? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
30 on the net. At 30 already. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
32 anyway, 32 bid, 35, or anywhere else now? 35. 38, 40? | 0:20:46 | 0:20:51 | |
-£40 now. -It's picking up, it's OK. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
45 bid now? 45. 48. 50, and five. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
55. 60 bid, and five, 65. 70? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
£70 bid. 75, 80 now. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
80 bid, 85, 90, 90. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
100. 100 on the net now, do I see 100? | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
100 bid. 110, 120, 120 bid now, 120, 130, 120 bid. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:19 | |
30, anywhere else now? Come on. Come on, guys. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Going, on the internet, at £120. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
That was £120. That's plus 30. Hang on a minute, hang on. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
I'm getting a hug when I can get one. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
Hug while you're ahead. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
Victorian mother of pearl and abalone shell cigar case. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
Who's going to start me at £50? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
30 to go then, surely, 30, | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
20, 25 bid, 30, 35 bid, 45, 50... | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
It's fast now. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
Don't stop! | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
70, 75, 80, 85, no... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-Come on. -All done and finished, then, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
all done and finished at £80. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
Oh, blast it. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
£80. You're minus 20 on that, which means you're plus £8. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
You have eight pounds. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-Awesome. -How exciting. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
Oh, dear. I can't bear it. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
Anyway, you're £8 up. That's all right, isn't it? | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
My heart is just going. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Ridiculous, isn't it, how it goes up, down, up, down. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
You are ahead at £8. What are you going to do about the monkey, then? | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
-Gamble. -Brilliant. -We're going to make you happy. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
A 1940s-50s clockwork monkey. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Who's going to start at £20 for him? 20, 10 to go then, | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
thank you, 10 bid, 12 anywhere else? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
11, then. 11 bid. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
-A pound! -13, it isn't unlucky, at 12 bid, £13. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
15 now, 15, 16, no, at £15 bid, going, | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
all done at £15. 16 bid, 17 bid, 18 bid, on the book, 19 or not now? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:58 | |
At £18 bid, any more now? 19. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
I have 20, and I've 21 on the book. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
-22 now. -Go on. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
At £21, we're on the market at 21, 22, back in the room. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
At 22, every pound helps. All done and finished, then, going at £22. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:15 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
Thank you. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
There you go, you've got £12 profit on that, which is brilliant. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
You had eight pounds before, so overall, you're plus 20. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
-How about that? -Well, I never! | 0:23:26 | 0:23:27 | |
Well done, you two. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
That's brilliant, isn't it? £20 up. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
This could be a winning score, it could well be a winning score, | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
we know how difficult it is to make a profit on this programme, and you've just done it. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
-Don't tell the Blues a thing, all right? -We won't. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
-Keep really quiet. -Top secret. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:45 | |
Don't go out looking so bubbly. Start looking miserable. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
OK, depression. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
52, 55... | 0:23:52 | 0:23:53 | |
-So, how are you feeling? -Nervous. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
Confidently nervous. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
That's a mixture of emotions, isn't it? | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
But don't despair, because your Pilkington pot, | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
which Mark found for you, you paid £100 for that. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
That's identified as being a Mycock pot, | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
which is a particular maker in Pilkington. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
He's got some buyers lined up for Pilkington. Here it comes. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
Item 95 is a Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian vase | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
of inverted ballast form, who's going to start at 100? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
80 to go, then, 80, 80 bid, 85, | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
90, 95, 100, 110, 120, 130, this is cheap at 130, any more bid? | 0:24:29 | 0:24:34 | |
-Keep going, come on. -I'll take five as a last call, 135. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
140, down here, is that another bid? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
140, at 140, 145, 150, 145, | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
then we're going at £145. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
Well done. Well done, Mark. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
145. You're £45 up. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Now, the stick. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
The 20th century South American walking stick there, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
possibly Mexican, who's going to start me at £40? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
40, 30 to go, then, £30. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:05 | |
20, £20, anybody? 10, thank you, 10. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
12, anywhere else, 12, 15, 18, everybody wants it now, | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
like a stroll in the park, 20 now, another one. 20, and two. 22. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
25 now, I have 25, fresh blood, | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
28 now, have another one. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
No, at 25 it's at the back of the room at 25, and eight now, do I see, | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
-28 bid, and 30, 32. -He's working hard on this. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:32 | |
Last call then, we're done and we're finished | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
and we're selling, all done at £30. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
That's minus £110. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
This isn't so brilliant, this, is it? | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
You were £45 up. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
Anyway, next lot up are the bonbon dishes. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
A pair of Mappin and Webb silver pin dishes | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
of curvilinear form. Who's going to start me at £50? | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
50, 30, 30, 20, 22, 25, 28, 28, 30, | 0:25:52 | 0:25:58 | |
good, heavy gauge, 32, do I see now? | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
At 30 bid, 32, 35, 38, 40, 42, | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
45, 48, 48, do I see over there? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
45, third row. 48 is a last call, 48, fresh bidder. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
At 48, 50, we'll keep the progress going, at 52, | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
55 now, 55, don't want to scare you off with high figures! | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
He's a good auctioneer, isn't he? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
58, surely. Last call, then, selling at £55. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Well done, Lee. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
£55, you get a £10 profit on that. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
You were minus 65, you're now only minus £55. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
So what are you going to do about the hefferlump? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
-We'll go for it. -You're going with the hefferlump? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
Colclough pottery teapot in the form of an Indian elephant | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
Who's going to start me at £10 for it? At 10, bid 12. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
15, 18. 22, 25, 28. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
30, 32, 35, 38, 40. 40 on the net. £40 bid. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
It's on the internet at £40. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
42, front row. Can I see a 45 bid? Surely have another click? | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
45 bid, 48. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
48 bid. 50? Thank you. 50 bid. 55. 55, 55. 60 now. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
Come on. Come on. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
At £55 bid in the room. At 55. Eight is the last call then. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
Going at £55. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
You've sold it for £55! | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
How did that make more than the stick?! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
That is amazing. £55. I can't believe that. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:30 | |
£55 for a teapot! A teapot with a broken finial. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
-Well, I knew it. -There you go. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
Mark, you must be... He's just a genius, isn't he? | 0:27:36 | 0:27:41 | |
To convert £10 into £55, via the ether of the internet. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
-We could have done the same with the walking stick. -That's amazing. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:50 | |
So you have £45 profit out of that, which is very good. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
You were minus £55 before, so overall you are minus £10. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:59 | |
-It could have been worse. -It could have been a lot worse. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
That is absolutely extraordinary. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
10, 12, 15. 20. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
The Blues are in detention and the Reds are top of the class. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:17 | |
And there are more treats to come with two more teams limbering up. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:22 | |
But hold your horses, we'll meet that lot shortly. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
First I want to take you on an outing. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
English landed estates, such as Belton House | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
here in Lincolnshire, would normally be passed down the eldest son. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:44 | |
That's why having a male heir was so incredibly important | 0:28:44 | 0:28:50 | |
to ensure that property remained in the immediate family. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
But the Brownlow and Custs of Belton struggled to produce male heirs | 0:28:55 | 0:29:00 | |
and Belton was only passed down to the eldest son on two occasions. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:05 | |
So nephews, brothers, grandsons and cousins were all beneficiaries | 0:29:05 | 0:29:10 | |
over the 300 years the family lived here. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
In the early 20th century Henry Cust, also known as Harry, | 0:29:14 | 0:29:18 | |
was due to inherit from Adelbert, his cousin, who was the third earl. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:23 | |
However things didn't work out to plan | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
because Adelbert outlived Harry by four years. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
This painting depicts Harry's wife, Nina, lying in the library | 0:29:30 | 0:29:35 | |
of their London home, perhaps dreaming of a room at Belton. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
Do you think it could be this room? The study? I think it is. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:43 | |
Almost identical apple green painted walls, | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
densely lined with books, | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
And if you look carefully in that watercolour, | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
does this end of a piece of furniture remind you of anything? | 0:29:52 | 0:29:57 | |
You're right, this is the self same cupboard that was in London | 0:29:58 | 0:30:03 | |
and has now come back to Belton. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:05 | |
On the face of it, | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
this looks like a late 18th, early 19th-century painted cupboard. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:11 | |
You can see where the paint's been rubbed. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
And the timber's showing below. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:17 | |
But beautifully painted in the Adamesque style | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
with these Angelica Kauffmann-style roundels down below. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:24 | |
But if I give it a tap, | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
you'll find out that it's a cabinet, full of secrets. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
Hear that? | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
That is not the same as that. Why? | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
Well, we've got two massive concealed locks, | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
plus a secret catch on either side. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
The key plate is revealed. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
You'd insert your key, unlock both doors and reveal... | 0:30:44 | 0:30:50 | |
..the secret interior. Not only secret, but incredibly secure | 0:30:52 | 0:30:57 | |
because this middle section of the cabinet is made of solid iron. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:03 | |
It's a safe, the ultimate security device for the gentleman | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
who wants to keep his precious objects close by him, | 0:31:07 | 0:31:11 | |
in a smart reception room without going to poke about | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
in one of those ugly safes underneath the back stairs. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
Actually this is an extremely rare survivor, | 0:31:17 | 0:31:22 | |
and as such, is not only practical but, I think, drop-dead gorgeous. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:27 | |
Ding ding! Round two, and it's back to the winter wonderland | 0:31:28 | 0:31:32 | |
of Newark for some more bargain hunting. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
We've got relatives Nicola and Doug for the Reds. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
And friends Jenna and Eddie for the Blues. Welcome to Bargain Hunt. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:43 | |
So, how are you two related, then? | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
-I'm Nicola's great uncle. -What's your interest in antiques? | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
I love antiques. For about 15, 16 years, I've been restoring antiques. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:54 | |
Has any of this passion for antiques rubbed off on you, Nicola? | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
Yes, it has, although in a different way. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:00 | |
What I do doesn't last as long as my Uncle Doug's stuff. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
-So what do you do, then? -I'm a sculptor. -Right. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
Yes, I carve sand, snow and ice. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
How amazing. Have you got anything to show us? | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
Yes, I have two photos here. Two pieces that I did. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
That is just extraordinary, girl! That's made of sand? | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
There were two of us working on that for two weeks. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
You're very brave. I couldn't bear to see it fall apart. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
I think we're going to have rather a good competition today, you two! | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
Now for the Blues, Jenna and Eddie. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:28 | |
-Hello. -How do you two know each other? | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 | |
-We are housemates. -At university? -Yes. -Both students at Leicester University. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:35 | |
I'm sporting my Leicester University hoodie. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
She bought it for my birthday on Tuesday. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
-Happy birthday as of Tuesday. -Thank you. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
-What are you studying? -Psychology and biology. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
-What about you, Eddie? -I do physics with planetary science. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
-Phew. -Hopefully going on to do earth observational science next year, hopefully. Fingers crossed. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:52 | |
We'll cross everything for you. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
Get onto some safe territory! | 0:32:54 | 0:32:56 | |
£300 apiece, £300 apiece... You know the rules, and off you go. And very, very good luck. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:01 | |
So will it be the Reds carving out the big bucks? | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
Or the Blues just turning all this into another science? | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
Each team won't be alone. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
They have exclusive rights to an expert's knowledge | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
to help them on their way so they don't slip up. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:18 | |
Right. Off they go. What delights will our teams find today? | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
Not round here, no. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
-Do you want a piggy back, David? -Yes, I think I do. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
So shall we go up here? | 0:33:28 | 0:33:29 | |
I would say 1930. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
-I'd say 1930. -You would? | 0:33:31 | 0:33:35 | |
-I really like that. -It's got great novelty value, hasn't it? | 0:33:42 | 0:33:46 | |
-But has it got any real monetary value, this is the thing? -No. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
It might have, in a big collection. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
Ah, he's nice. I'm going to test you, Nicola. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:56 | |
-What do you think about him? -So cute. -He's nice, isn't he? | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
-I love it. -What would you say if I did this to him? | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
Oh, my God! That's awful. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
Scent bottle. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
-Can I smell it? Oh, it smells of something. -Perfume? | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
Oldness and perfume. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
Let's have a smell. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:15 | |
-It's definitely got some... -There's definitely been some... | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
-Well, I've got no sense of smell. -Haven't you, really? | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
-How much is that? -Let's ask him. What's the best on the teddy? | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
-80 quid. -Really? | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
-What age would you think? -I think '40s or '50s. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
-I think we all like him. -I do. -Well, bid him, try him, go on. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:33 | |
I think Nicola should use her charms. Nicola, have a go. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
-We want it, 50 tops. -40. -Go on, try him. -50 tops. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:39 | |
Would you consider... a massive reduction on this? | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
Nicola secured a deal of £55, but they're sleeping on it. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:49 | |
Over to the Blues. Have they spotted anything so sweet? | 0:34:50 | 0:34:54 | |
-That's a cool bottle opener. -What is it? -It's a bottle opener. -That's quite fun, isn't it? | 0:34:54 | 0:34:58 | |
-Because you'd attach that onto the bar. Yes. -There's a clamp in it. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
The bar that I work in now, we used to have one, | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
but a modern-day one where we just clamped it on the bar. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
I just like the fact it's old style. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
Is almost a piece of social history, isn't it? Because I love all this decoration. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:14 | |
It's cast steel. I like this little turned handle. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
That would really clean up rather nicely, actually. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:20 | |
-Yes, it does look good. -Can you tell us what your very best price is on that, please? | 0:35:20 | 0:35:24 | |
-Very best it could be is 130. -130? -130. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
That's quite a good lot off. 165, to 130. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:31 | |
I think, I mean... | 0:35:31 | 0:35:32 | |
Can I say just one thing? Your faces have lit up since you found it. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
-It's got to be a purchase. -I know, I quite like that. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
The dealer has given you a very good discount, nearly 20% off. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
-Let's do it. -Let's do it. -We'll take that, thank you. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
Hats off to the Blues, they're making quick decisions. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
But is it rubbing off on the Reds? | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
I like that teddy. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
I can't believe it - they're still mulling over the scent bottle! | 0:35:52 | 0:35:56 | |
-I liked it. -We all like it. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
It's a bit morbid, though, with its head off. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
We don't to rip its head off all the time. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
-Let's go for it. -I think so. -All right then. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
Not bad. Only 20 minutes gone and that's the Reds' first buy for £55. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:12 | |
Let me show you something I've found. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:16 | |
This is a pottery charger. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
And this is going back to the early part of the 20th century, 1910. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
This is a copy of Italian majolica, | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
which is a sort of tin-glazed earthenware. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
But then when we turn it over, we've got "Aeneas arriving in Italy." | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
And then you have got Verona, 1547, and Copenhagen. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:38 | |
I think the original majolica plate was painted in 1547. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:42 | |
And this has been painted by George Rowley, March 1919. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:47 | |
And I think that is quite interesting, actually. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
Now, it is a lot of money at the moment, 120, but unless you ask, you never know. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:54 | |
-Shall I just shout over and find out? -I think you should. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
Excuse me. What's the best price we could have on this plate? | 0:36:57 | 0:37:01 | |
Well, being as I bought it with a lot of other things, I'll let you have it for £50. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
50 quid. Come on, guys, we've got to. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:09 | |
-I'm not a fan, but for 50 quid, you can't say no. -It's worth a gamble, isn't it? -Yes. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:14 | |
Yep, go for it. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
2-1 to the Blues. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
The Reds are playing catch-up. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
I like the colours. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:24 | |
-I think it's quite nice. How much is that? -35. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:28 | |
-What's the best you can do on that? -35. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
You can't do 30? | 0:37:31 | 0:37:34 | |
I like it. It's got a lot of flash about it. For very little money. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
I think you could buy something similar on the high street. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
Do you think so? But feel the weight of that. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:45 | |
-Yes, OK. -It's heavy, it's not plasticky. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:47 | |
It will look nice once there's a light underneath. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
-Is it broken or anything? -It doesn't look like it. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
Can you do it any cheaper, please? | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
-Our time is ticking. £20. -34.99. -Oh, come on. 20? | 0:37:54 | 0:37:58 | |
Best, the very best. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
'She's like a dog with a bone, this one.' | 0:38:02 | 0:38:06 | |
You're the best negotiator. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
Let me go and ask him a bit more. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
Watch what she can do. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:11 | |
Can you do it a little bit less? | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
-Yes, he'll do 30! -Well done. -Thank you. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
I think Nicola is the best negotiator in the room. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
That's £30 for the light fitting. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
Has it got any of them marks that you antique dealers look for? | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
No, because it's not silver! | 0:38:26 | 0:38:28 | |
-Excuse me, what is the very best you can do on this? 40? -This is 40. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:33 | |
-That's quite good. -That's good. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
We want to keep it in reserve. If we can get a better price... | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
-Come back to it in the last five minutes. -OK. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
And you obviously put something in here, press it down. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:47 | |
That's all very nice, but what about these? | 0:38:47 | 0:38:49 | |
Those are nice, aren't they? You like your napkin rings, don't you? | 0:38:49 | 0:38:53 | |
It's because they're sparkly. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:56 | |
-I like them, but they're only silver plate. -Are they numbered? -Yes. One to six. | 0:38:56 | 0:39:00 | |
Which is nice because that shows they are all of the same set. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:04 | |
And these are Victorian. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
They're quite nice quality, the way they're decorated. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
It is kind of a simple but effective design on it. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
Yes, it is, and I suppose if you're having people for dinner, | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
six is normal. Because we don't use these sort of things very often. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
In auction, I would probably put something like £30-50. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:23 | |
But this does have a nice little fitted case, and this is the original case. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:28 | |
But I don't think he'll go for that. But you can ask him, go on. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
-What am I asking? -Ask him what his very, very best price is. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:34 | |
Whilst Jenna sorts out a deal, let's see if the Reds are any closer to their final piece. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:38 | |
It is unusual, do you like that? | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
-What is it? -A little match holder. A Vesta. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
Vesta cases are collected, just by silver collectors. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
And round ones are really very rare. Guess how much it is. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:51 | |
-A fiver. -You're horrible, you are. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:54 | |
-Mind you, you'll be a very good buyer if you can buy things for that. 88. -£88! | 0:39:54 | 0:39:58 | |
Don't worry, Anne is a wonderful woman. Anne, aren't you wonderful? | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
What's the best price on that? | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
-75. -Ah, Anne. -It's dented. -I know, I know. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:08 | |
Well, really, I think it's got to be over to you. | 0:40:08 | 0:40:10 | |
I'd like to see what we can get that salt and pepper set... | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
Can I put that aside and see you later? | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
Come on then, Jenna, what deal did you get? | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
-I got him down to 55. -55? Well, you did get him down. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
-We've got about five or eight minutes left, so we need to make some decisions. -What do you think? | 0:40:21 | 0:40:26 | |
-I reckon we do it. -Go for them? I like them, I mean, I'd have them. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:30 | |
-Are you happy? -All right, if I was a rich person I'd buy them, yes. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
-Is that case closed? -Case closed. -Case closed. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
Top stuff. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
So, with five minutes to go, all we need now is a Red decision - | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
Vesta or cruet? | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
-What do you think? -I'm mixed with it. A, I don't like the cigarette side. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:50 | |
-That's what I don't like. -But it is collectible. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
But these are things that are used. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:55 | |
I want you to decide. I prefer that. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:57 | |
Excuse me. What is the very, very, very best...? | 0:40:57 | 0:41:01 | |
-You can't do it a little bit cheaper? -Not for the silver one... | 0:41:01 | 0:41:05 | |
Come on, there's no time for this. Make up your minds! | 0:41:05 | 0:41:08 | |
-Come on. -35. -This way, this way! | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
Can we do 35? Please? | 0:41:12 | 0:41:13 | |
-OK. -Oh, you are, you are...! -Thank you. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:16 | |
That's it. Stop the watch. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
None of the teams got lost. They each got their three items. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:26 | |
Let's have a reminder of what the Red team's bought. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:29 | |
-Teddy bear. -We both love it. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
We fell in love with it straightaway. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
Well, let's hope the saleroom loves the teddy bear scent bottle as much. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:39 | |
Next up was the mid-20th century glass lampshade. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
-We think the matchstick thing is a bit of a gamble. -Yes. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
Matchstick thing? | 0:41:47 | 0:41:48 | |
Nicola's talking about the early-20th-century silver Vesta case. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:53 | |
-Now, Doug and Nicola, it wasn't exactly plain sailing for you, that shopping, was it? -No, not quite. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:58 | |
-I mean, the disagreements! -Yes, well... -And you're relations! | 0:41:58 | 0:42:02 | |
Yes, quite. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:03 | |
Anyway, you spent £120, which is vaguely miserable. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:06 | |
180 of leftover lolly to go to David Harper to find the bonus buy. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
-I know, but 180, Tim, that's pressure, isn't it? -Why? | 0:42:09 | 0:42:14 | |
Well, I don't know. I feel obliged to spend quite a lot of it. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
It's always safe when you haven't got much because you can blame the contestants... | 0:42:17 | 0:42:21 | |
-Because you haven't got much cash. -Exactly! | 0:42:21 | 0:42:25 | |
-Perfect! -I've learnt that from you. -you went to the right school, too. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
Now, in order to remind ourselves what these Reds are up against, | 0:42:28 | 0:42:32 | |
let's see what the Blues bought. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
I love the corkscrew, I absolutely love it. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:41 | |
Ah, no surprises for the students - their first piece was booze-related. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:46 | |
The plate, I'm really unsure of, but... | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
-We got it for 50 quid, so... -Hopefully it'll go well. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:50 | |
We're hoping so, too. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
So will the 20th-century hand painted charger deliver the goods? | 0:42:53 | 0:42:58 | |
And, of course, the same goes for the six silver-plate napkin rings. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
So, you two, how tough was that shopping? | 0:43:02 | 0:43:05 | |
-It was hard. -It was very intense, yeah. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
I mean, you rush round, you've got hardly any time. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
You think you got more when you watch it on TV. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:13 | |
There you go, that's the reality of it all. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
You didn't do too badly - you spent £235, pleased with that. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
-£65 of leftover lolly. -Jenna's got it. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:22 | |
Thank you. You don't like handing it over! | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
-£65, then, Mark, which you're going to use to find the bonus buy. -Absolutely. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:28 | |
How tough are you going to find that? | 0:43:28 | 0:43:30 | |
I don't think so, they're really strong characters, Tim. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:34 | |
-There's a lot to play on there. -Yes. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:36 | |
I've learnt a lot from them, so I'm going to grow my hair very and the next time I might have dreadlocks. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:41 | |
Well, that's something to look forward to! | 0:43:41 | 0:43:44 | |
So don't go to the hairdresser for about a couple of years. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
-Perfect! We'll look forward to that. -Thanks, Tim. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:51 | |
Still to come, will the Reds' "spend low, sell high" tactics pay off? | 0:43:53 | 0:43:57 | |
That's a good start, well done, you two. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:01 | |
'Will the Blues find selling as easy as buying?' | 0:44:01 | 0:44:03 | |
Oh, dear, this has not gone to plan. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:06 | |
'We'll find out soon. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:07 | |
'But first let's check in with Golding Young Auctioneers in Grantham, Lincolnshire | 0:44:07 | 0:44:12 | |
'to see how our old mate, Colin Young, values today's items.' | 0:44:12 | 0:44:17 | |
Now, teddy bear perfume bottle, that's whacky, isn't it? | 0:44:20 | 0:44:23 | |
It is, a nice little lot. There are plenty of teddy bear collectors | 0:44:23 | 0:44:26 | |
-that'll have a go for that. -Will they pay £55, do you think? | 0:44:26 | 0:44:29 | |
No. Well, we've put an estimate not far from that. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
I suppose 30 to 50 is a reasonable estimate on it. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:35 | |
What about this Tiffany-style lamp? | 0:44:35 | 0:44:37 | |
Yeah, it's more Tiffany off EastEnders, I'm afraid. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:40 | |
-Oh, right. -Erm, not very old. Not very good... | 0:44:40 | 0:44:43 | |
OK, so a lookalike? Not a very good copy of the Tiffany, | 0:44:43 | 0:44:47 | |
but it's in quite good nick, isn't it? | 0:44:47 | 0:44:49 | |
It is, we've put an estimate of 25 to 40. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:52 | |
-That's something, £30 they paid. -It's got a chance. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:56 | |
Yeah, you get a top end, Colin, they'll be pleased with you. | 0:44:56 | 0:44:59 | |
The Vesta case, that's a little horror | 0:44:59 | 0:45:01 | |
cos it's got these dents in it. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:02 | |
I don't know, circular ones always make a little bit more than... | 0:45:02 | 0:45:06 | |
the bog standard ones which usually make £20 | 0:45:06 | 0:45:09 | |
so we've put an estimate of 20 to 30, but it's not going to sparkle beyond that. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:13 | |
£35 they paid. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:14 | |
There's no question at all here, they'll need their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:18 | |
So, team, you spent £120 which is vaguely pathetic... No! | 0:45:19 | 0:45:24 | |
£180 went to David Harper, what did he spend it on? | 0:45:24 | 0:45:29 | |
-Oh! -Grand, posh piece, what do you think it is? | 0:45:29 | 0:45:34 | |
-Pass! -It looks like something you'd put some dead person's ashes in. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:37 | |
-Ooh! -No, you wouldn't! -Now, there's a good sales technique. | 0:45:37 | 0:45:42 | |
There's a good sign... Yeah. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
-It's a censer, so you'd burn incense. -Incense. -Oh... | 0:45:44 | 0:45:47 | |
If you look inside it's nicely green and burnt. It's been used an awful lot. | 0:45:47 | 0:45:51 | |
-So bronze, yes? -Bronze. Japanese, Meiji period, | 0:45:51 | 0:45:54 | |
so late 19th century, and would look stunning on a nice, Georgian table with a lamp. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:59 | |
-It'd look a million dollars. How much would you pay for it? -About £100. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:04 | |
I would pay £80-100 for it, I really like it. | 0:46:04 | 0:46:06 | |
-OK, well, you're very close both of you - 75. -Oh! | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
You don't have to decide right now, you decide later after the sale of your first three items | 0:46:09 | 0:46:14 | |
but, for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's bronze pot. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:19 | |
So this is the bonus buy, Colin. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:21 | |
-Right. -Does that inspire you with that little thrill? -Not really. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:25 | |
The first thing you notice on this is it's fairly poorly cast. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:29 | |
-It is what it is. -It is what it is. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:31 | |
But perfectly genuine. A kind of 1900 version. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:34 | |
For a bronze object you get quite a lot for your money, don't you? | 0:46:34 | 0:46:37 | |
You do. We put an estimate on it of £30 to £50. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:39 | |
Well, David Harper paid 75, you see. And he really rates it. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:43 | |
Anyway, that's it for the Reds. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:45 | |
Now for the Blues. What about this bottle opener? | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
Love it. I think it's a brilliant item. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:50 | |
If they were out looking for something a different, | 0:46:50 | 0:46:52 | |
that's the ideal object that they should buy at a fair. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:56 | |
The estimate we've put on it is £80 to £120. | 0:46:56 | 0:46:59 | |
OK, £130 they paid, so... They're saleable things. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:02 | |
Now, we've got the hand-painted charger. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:04 | |
It's a 1920s version of historiato dishes, but... | 0:47:04 | 0:47:09 | |
-It ain't 1480, I can tell you that! -I'm afraid it's not, is it? | 0:47:09 | 0:47:14 | |
But nevertheless, it's certainly got to be worth £40 to £60. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:17 | |
OK. £50 they paid, you see, so that's pretty well on the button, isn't it? | 0:47:17 | 0:47:21 | |
What about the plated napkin rings? | 0:47:21 | 0:47:23 | |
People still use them, so yeah, they're going to be fine. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
They're not going to just sit in the sideboard like a lot of these case pieces. They will actually be used. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:30 | |
Sort of 20, 40, that sort of range. | 0:47:30 | 0:47:32 | |
Well, sadly, £55 they paid. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:34 | |
-Well, it's not a tenner a ring, is it, so... -No. Good. | 0:47:34 | 0:47:38 | |
They could need their bonus buy. We'd better go and have a look at it! | 0:47:38 | 0:47:42 | |
Now, Jenna, Eddie, how are you feeling? All right? | 0:47:42 | 0:47:44 | |
-Fantastic, yeah. -Well, you spent £235, you ought to feel fantastic! | 0:47:44 | 0:47:47 | |
You gave £65 to Mark. What did you spend it on, Mark? | 0:47:47 | 0:47:50 | |
I spent it on this lovely little box here. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:53 | |
-Oh, that's nice. -It's Oriental. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
I rather like it, it's got a wise owl on the top there. | 0:47:55 | 0:47:58 | |
-And it was only £20. -Really? | 0:47:58 | 0:48:00 | |
How much do you reckon it will take at auction, then? | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |
On a good day, we might get £30 - £40 for it. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:05 | |
So we might see a bit of profit there. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:07 | |
See what we do on the other lots, is my advice. | 0:48:07 | 0:48:09 | |
Wait and see how you get on with your first three items. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:13 | |
But now, for the viewers at home, let's find out | 0:48:13 | 0:48:15 | |
what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's wise old owl. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:17 | |
-T-wit t-woo! -Well, interesting and different acquisition, really, for an expert choice. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:24 | |
That's Mark Stacey for you! | 0:48:24 | 0:48:26 | |
At least he's going for something different and not the type of thing | 0:48:26 | 0:48:30 | |
that you're going to find in every sale. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
Origin, Indian. Only silver plated, | 0:48:32 | 0:48:36 | |
low tens value. £20 to £40. It certainly should do that sort of region. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:39 | |
Great. He paid 20. So he should be in the money there for a bonus buy. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:43 | |
-You would hope so. -And it's difficult enough, that job, isn't it? | 0:48:43 | 0:48:46 | |

Well, I see my legs quivering, as they always do! | 0:49:17 | 0:49:20 | |
-There's a good crowd. -It's a great crowd! Brilliant. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:22 | |
Three people and you'd be worried, but you couldn't get many more bods in this sale room. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:27 | |

10 on the net. 10. | 0:50:38 | 0:50:39 | |
10 bid. 12 bid. 15 do I see? | 0:50:39 | 0:50:41 | |
-At 12 in the middle of the room. -Oh, please! | 0:50:41 | 0:50:43 | |

-How much? -£22. | 0:50:57 | 0:50:59 | |
You're minus £13 on that, which means you're minus 18 smackers. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:03 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:51:03 | 0:51:05 | |
-18's my lucky number! -She's laughing like a drain! | 0:51:05 | 0:51:08 | |
This answers all our questions now! | 0:51:08 | 0:51:10 | |
She's laughing like a drain! | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
-Thank you, Tim! -This says everything! | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
-It doesn't say everything. -I'm going home. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:18 | |
No, I think you've done extraordinarily well. | 0:51:18 | 0:51:20 | |
-Minus 18 is no miserable score, I can tell you. -David will save us! | 0:51:20 | 0:51:24 | |
-Well, are you going to go with it? -Yeah! -You are? -Yeah! Love it! | 0:51:24 | 0:51:28 | |
-You are going to go with it? -Yes. -I'd buy it. | 0:51:28 | 0:51:31 | |
Japanese bronze censer, this time, | 0:51:31 | 0:51:34 | |
with a cast birdcage finial cover. I'll take 20 to go. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
£20. 20 bid. Two now do I see? | 0:51:36 | 0:51:38 | |
At £20 I'm bid. Two anywhere else now? At £20 I'm bid. | 0:51:38 | 0:51:41 | |
-Two anywhere else now? -Oh, come on! | 0:51:41 | 0:51:44 | |
28 now. 28 bid. 30. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:46 | |
Yes! Yes! Come on! | 0:51:46 | 0:51:48 | |
38. 38 bid. 40. £40 bid. 42 now. | 0:51:48 | 0:51:51 | |
-42. 45. 48. 48 bid. 50? No. -Yes! Yes! | 0:51:51 | 0:51:56 | |

-No! -Oh! -Come on! -£48. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:03 | |
That is two shy of 50. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:04 | |
That means you're minus £27 on that. | 0:52:04 | 0:52:07 | |
OK, 27, 37, £45. | 0:52:07 | 0:52:11 | |
You're minus £45 overall. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:13 | |
Not bad! | 0:52:13 | 0:52:14 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:52:14 | 0:52:15 | |
-Jens, are you feeling confident about today? -Erm... Yes! | 0:52:21 | 0:52:25 | |
-Yes? -Possibly, I don't know! I think the corkscrew is kind of worrying! | 0:52:25 | 0:52:30 | |
What's worrying you about that corkscrew? | 0:52:30 | 0:52:32 | |
The amount of money we might have spent on a corkscrew! | 0:52:32 | 0:52:35 | |
130 quid for a corkscrew! | 0:52:35 | 0:52:36 | |
You spent £130 on it. Well, Eddie found it. You found it... | 0:52:36 | 0:52:39 | |
-At least I can blame him! -You're responsible! £130 you paid. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:43 | |
The auctioneer thinks it's a great object. He's put £80 to £120 on it. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:48 | |
-My God! -He's got lots of confidence in that corkscrew. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:51 | |
-So, don't despair. -Fingers crossed! | 0:52:51 | 0:52:53 | |
The original safety trademark cast iron bar corkscrew. | 0:52:53 | 0:52:58 | |
What shall we say for this? Who is going to start me at | 0:52:58 | 0:53:00 | |
30, then! Come on, 30. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:02 | |
-£30 bid. Five now do I see? -Oh dear. -At 30 bid. Five anywhere else now? | 0:53:02 | 0:53:07 | |
30 bid. Five anywhere else now? | 0:53:07 | 0:53:09 | |
38. Multiple bids on the net. 38 bid. At 38. 40 in the room? 40. | 0:53:09 | 0:53:14 | |
42 now? 42. 45 now? | 0:53:14 | 0:53:18 | |
It's going. Just another 80 quid to go! | 0:53:18 | 0:53:22 | |
45 anywhere else now? Going at £42. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:27 | |
Oh dear, this has not gone to plan! | 0:53:27 | 0:53:29 | |
-It's disappointing, isn't it? -£42, not good. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:32 | |
That's eight shy of 50. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:34 | |
I think that's £88 down the drain, actually! Minus £88. | 0:53:34 | 0:53:38 | |
-Oh dear, oh dear! -Over to you Mark, with the charger. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:42 | |
John Maddock & Sons vitreous china plaque, | 0:53:42 | 0:53:45 | |
very nice scene, presumably Verona. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:47 | |
£20 anyone? 10? | 0:53:47 | 0:53:49 | |
-THEY LAUGH -Thank you. 10 bid. At 10. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:52 | |
12 now do I see? 12 bid. 15. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:54 | |
15. 18 I've got. At 18. 20 I've got. At 20. At 20 bid. Two now? Two. | 0:53:54 | 0:53:57 | |
Five bid. 28 bid. 30 bid. 32 now. | 0:53:57 | 0:54:00 | |
32? 32. 35? 38. 38. | 0:54:00 | 0:54:02 | |
Bid 40 now? No? At 38 bid. 40 anywhere else now? | 0:54:02 | 0:54:05 | |
£38. Any more now? Selling at £38. | 0:54:05 | 0:54:10 | |
Bad luck! That's minus £12, all right to back which, overall, | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
means you're minus £100. With one lot to go. Here it comes. | 0:54:14 | 0:54:18 | |
Set of Edwardian six electroplate napkin rings. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:23 | |
I just have to figure out where we'll start. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
£22. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:27 | |
-Oh! -25, 28? 30, 32, 35, 38, bid 40. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:31 | |
42, 45? 42 on the book. At 42. | 0:54:31 | 0:54:35 | |
Five anywhere else? At £42 bid, any more now? | 0:54:35 | 0:54:37 | |
Are we all done? | 0:54:37 | 0:54:40 | |
Selling at £42. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:42 | |
£42 is minus £13. | 0:54:42 | 0:54:46 | |
So you are minus 113. Minus 113. | 0:54:46 | 0:54:51 | |
This is not how it's supposed to go. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
I think we might have broken the record for most money lost. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:57 | |
Have you ever lost more than that? | 0:54:57 | 0:54:59 | |
It's difficult, isn't it? | 0:54:59 | 0:55:01 | |
Anyway, don't worry about it. | 0:55:01 | 0:55:04 | |
It's minus £113. What are you going to do about the wise old owl box? | 0:55:04 | 0:55:08 | |
-We can't lose much more. -Let's try and lose some more so let's go for the owl. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:14 | |
The Indian silver-plated cylindrical patch box | 0:55:14 | 0:55:18 | |
with hinge cover, embossed with an owl's mask. | 0:55:18 | 0:55:21 | |
Let's give it a go, 30. Who's first? | 0:55:21 | 0:55:23 | |
-10 anyone? £10. -Oh... -10? | 0:55:23 | 0:55:25 | |
Thank you. 10, you've put me out of my misery. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:28 | |
Put us out of ours! | 0:55:28 | 0:55:30 | |
12. Late surge in the bidding. 13? | 0:55:30 | 0:55:34 | |
13! That's the spirit! | 0:55:34 | 0:55:36 | |
14, do I see? 14 bid. 15? | 0:55:36 | 0:55:39 | |
No? At 14, bid. 15, do I see? | 0:55:39 | 0:55:42 | |
15, bid. 16, do I see? It's the last call then, going at £15. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:49 | |
£15, bad luck, that's minus £5 on that. | 0:55:50 | 0:55:54 | |
Overall then you are minus £118. | 0:55:54 | 0:55:58 | |
Result(!) | 0:55:58 | 0:56:00 | |
It's so sad when we've got two such wonderful teams and we can only have one team of winners. | 0:56:04 | 0:56:10 | |
-You haven't talked to one another? -No. | 0:56:10 | 0:56:12 | |
-No. -Well, you won't be aware that both teams have made whopping great losses, | 0:56:12 | 0:56:17 | |
but just one team has made a seriously whopping loss and that is of course the Blues. | 0:56:17 | 0:56:22 | |
Anyway, £118. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:26 | |
I'm afraid the score all the way down the line is minus, minus, minus, but you've had a great time? | 0:56:28 | 0:56:32 | |
-Yes, it's been awesome. -Yeah! | 0:56:32 | 0:56:34 | |
Awesome? | 0:56:34 | 0:56:36 | |
Quite(!) Now, the Reds did manage to get a profit of £5 on one item | 0:56:36 | 0:56:40 | |
and then it was a series of minuses too, but it just happens that your total minuses are only minus 45. | 0:56:40 | 0:56:47 | |
-That's not bad. -Which in the scale of things is, | 0:56:47 | 0:56:52 | |
as they say, not so bad. | 0:56:52 | 0:56:55 | |
-Very good. -You've had a lovely time? | 0:56:55 | 0:56:57 | |
-Yes. -You've had a lovely time? -Yes! -That's what it's all about. | 0:56:57 | 0:57:00 | |
-Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes? -Yes! | 0:57:00 | 0:57:04 | |
