0:00:02 > 0:00:06Do you know, there's something in the water today on Bargain Hunt?
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Well, something's got into their heads.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Our teams are about to take the business of buying antiques incredibly seriously. ..Not!
0:00:14 > 0:00:20I can see we've got trouble on our hands today, so let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52We've made our way to the Hungerford Arcade in Berkshire,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56where our teams have £300 and an hour to shop for three items
0:00:56 > 0:01:01which they'll sell at auction and make a massive profit.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Sounds easy, doesn't it? Well, we'll find out just how easy it is.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11There's certainly an eclectic mix of items here, bargain hunters.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Let's meet the teams.
0:01:14 > 0:01:21For the Blues, we've got Amanda and Joan, and for the Reds, we've got friends, Phil and Dave.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Welcome, chaps. Nice to see you. Phil, you used to have connections with the Fleet Auxiliary?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Yes, I used to work on the flight deck.- Vital tasks?- Yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34I was there for about four years and then one day I decided to fall through the ship.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- Fall through?- Yes, 65 feet.- I bet that didn't do you any good?- No.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- I had two-and-a-half years in hospital.- My gosh!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Shattered pelvis in 32 places.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I'm glad to see you looking so perky.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53- How do you think you're going to get on on Bargain Hunt?- You've got the winners, definitely.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57We like to hear that little bit of ambition in there.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Dave, you were in the Army for a long time?- 23 years. I was an inventory manager.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I do the same thing now
0:02:03 > 0:02:10- but I look after an inventory of about 6.3 million of furniture. - So you know about furniture?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Modern furniture, yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Not so good for us though.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15No. Not today!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18You're a bit of a collector as well?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Oil lamps, baseball caps, of which I have one here.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- That would be a moose. - That would, yes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Somebody bought this for me. I don't wear them normally.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Definitely not indoors.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Someone bought this for me from Canada.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Get away! Definitely suits you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42I think you're going to do very well today. Now, the girls.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44What are you laughing at?
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- Joan is your mother-in-law.- She is. - Are you going to make a good team? - Oh, yes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- You've got your hands full at home, haven't you?- I've got four girls.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Have you? How lovely. What sort of ages?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Nine, seven, two and one.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01It says here, "Does your husband help around the house?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04"Is he handy and is he the romantic type?"
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- No, he's not really romantic but his dad is.- He's not really romantic.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13His dad is, and he did go to his dad for some advice over a very expensive bottle of champagne that he had,
0:03:13 > 0:03:19so his dad advised him to run a nice bath, so when I came in from work, have a bowl of strawberries...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- For you?- Yeah, for me.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Feed them to me, I reached down to pick up a strawberry
0:03:25 > 0:03:32and his cat decided to deposit a mouse's head there instead, and I nearly ate it!
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- What?- The champagne came up pretty quickly afterwards.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40You nearly ate a raw mouse's head?
0:03:40 > 0:03:46Disguised as a strawberry! I hope you'll be up to keep your wits about you today, my girl.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I don't want any mouse-eating here.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Joan, you have an incredibly adventuresome spirit, don't you?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Oh, I love travel. - You like travel?- Yeah.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57What sort of places do you go to?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Well, I've been to Vietnam.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Have you?- Kazakhstan.- Kazakhstan?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Yeah, but that was a train journey, five-week train journey.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- All very comfortable facilities, was it?- Well, except for the Vietnamese train, yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Oh, why?- The toilets were the French variety.- What's that, then?
0:04:12 > 0:04:19- Two footprints, and very awkward on a moving train.- A moving train! With just the footprints.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25- Yes!- A round hole.- Yes!- And did you see the track going underneath? - Yes. And an open window there.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27An open window? That is friendly, isn't it?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31They're extremely good stories from you today. This has been amazing.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Now, the money moment. £300 apiece. There you go.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You know the rules. Your experts await!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Let's hope our two experts today are prepared to be given the run-around,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49as they hand out their advice to the teams.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Mark Stacey is in training for the Reds,
0:04:52 > 0:04:57while Philip Allwood is resting before tackling the Blues. Ah!
0:04:57 > 0:05:01With only one hour to go, the pressure is on.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Get a move on, you lot!
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Oh, actually, there's a fair bit of weight on that, actually.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Yeah.- And it's nice engine-turned.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Not a bad price, £100, actually, for a nice little quality box like that.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16If we bought it, we'd have to try and...a little bit.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Yes.- Now, what have you got there? - I've got a little Tiffany note case.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24This is something completely different, because this is very modern.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28You can see that it's modern. You buy it because it's Tiffany.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- It's a Tiffany card case, yeah. - And it's not too bad.- It's nice, 55.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36But you've got Tiffany on the back there. Sterling underneath.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- I'd double-check that. And it comes of course in its... - In its own case.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- ..in its fitted case, with its original little...- Little box.
0:05:44 > 0:05:50- Yeah.- Why don't you ask the dealer what the best price is on it?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Now, cash, we're talking here.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59- Yes.- We want... We want to make a profit on this.- Profit.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Because all our profit is going to charity, you see.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05That's the technique! We'll leave the Reds to their bartering,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07while the Blues get inside help.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I've got something a little bit unusual to show you.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- It's an old posset warmer. - Goodness gracious!
0:06:14 > 0:06:19And it's allegedly the property of James Fenimore Cooper -
0:06:19 > 0:06:22author of The Last Of The Mohicans.
0:06:22 > 0:06:28This letter seems to authorise that, from 1919. I found that inside here.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30What would this have been used for?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Right, a posset it was a drink for all ailments.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36It was a sort of ale and herbs,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39and this would have been filled with hot water,
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- placed at your bedside, with a beaker or...keeping it warm.- Yeah.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- So it was for drinks.- A drink. - Alcohol, there you go!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It probably would have had some sort of alcohol in there, yes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It was in the days when this was made,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- it was considered a good thing to have.- Absolutely.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Erm, and 150 is your best on it? If you've just got it in? - Come down. Come down.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04You can do a little bit for us, can't you?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'll do it for 140.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Because I do think it's got some interest value. Pewter...
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- 125.- How much?!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- I can't do 125!- She's hard!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19135.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I've just paid 110, seriously.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- That's a quick profit, then.- 135. 135, then.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Shall we go for that?- Yeah.- Done. - Excellent! Who's been done?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Well, we'll find that out at the auction.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34So, the Blues have their first item,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38while the Reds are busy sealing the deal for the Tiffany silver card case.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- 38?- 38...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- OK, then.- Sure?
0:07:42 > 0:07:4438. No, I'm not sure, but I will.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Very kind.- That would be brilliant at 38.- Yeah, 38 would be fantastic.
0:07:48 > 0:07:55Good job, guys. Elsewhere in the antiques centre, the Blues are making bargain-hunting look easy.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01Just wanted to have a look at the pedestal bowl there, on the base, that...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03And can we have a look at the jug as well?
0:08:03 > 0:08:08This jug, the one right in the corner that's furthest away from you and more difficult to get!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- So, what we have here is two things to think about, don't we?- Mmm.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The jug or the sugar basin.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Given away by the tongs.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But the one thing that concerns me about it is,
0:08:21 > 0:08:25if you look closely on the base, you can see where the nickel is coming through.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Oh, yeah. - So, a plated base on a silver...
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I'm not sure about that, I'm a little bit uneasy. I think it should be a silver base.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- I wonder whether it's been attached. This, however...- I like this.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42..is pretty. Nice clear silver hallmark there for London, 1922.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47We've got £105 on it. We really need to be getting it down below £100.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Closer to £80 or £70, on a good day.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I think we need to try and do something with that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- OK, fine.- Shall we go and see if we can find out what he'll take?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Yes, definitely.- OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Another decision well made.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04They bought the cream jug for £85.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Now, what have the Red Team found?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11It screams one period only -
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Art Deco.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17You have this ribbed body and rather funky form.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18And bright colours on it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Crown Ducal are quite well-known.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24But in the '20s and '30s, they did develop quite a culture for this Art Deco movement.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Charlotte Rhead became a designer for them.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33- She ranks up there with people like Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper, for example.- Really?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Yeah.- Now, it's not signed, but it's very much in her style.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- With this little tube line decoration, etc.- Yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- It's a little bit expensive at 56, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Get that down.- A few pound off.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47If we can get that down to sort of £40 or so, or £45,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51then we might be in with a chance.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Yes. I like that.- Very nice.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's a unanimous decision.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But at £40, is it a clever one?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Now, what's Philip Allwood managed to unearth?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It's had some little alterations underneath it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08These pine blocks put in there.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Is that to make it more sturdy?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Yeah.- To keep it together!- Exactly.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Does that devalue it much?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Well, the thing is with this, they normally come in pairs.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Right.- To go on either side of a door in the hallway.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Yeah.- You can imagine a big marble hallway, these sitting either side,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- they'd look elegant as a pair. - They would.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31As a single chair, they're a little bit more difficult to place.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35But a very architectural design.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38It's a nice back, architectural design there.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Broken-arch pediment. It's got a touch of elegance about it.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Good, solid piece. What are they asking?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Oh, £39.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I wonder if we could get it down to sort of more like
0:10:52 > 0:10:5525 quid. That would help.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Do you think it would stand a chance?
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- Well, it's not an expensive buy at 25 quid, is it?- No, I don't think...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I don't think so, for a solid oak chair, I don't think that's bad.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08How long have we got before we...?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10We've got about 20 minutes.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Oh.- So we could come back to it. - If we leave it here...
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Give it 10 minutes. And if there's nothing else, we'll come back.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Exactly, we'll have a go at it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Yeah, I think it might be worth a punt.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23While the Blues are hedging their bets,
0:11:23 > 0:11:28the Reds have got a whopping £220 left for their final item.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Gosh, that's quite fun, isn't it? In a fireplace, it's quite fun.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I don't know if people use these things any more.
0:11:34 > 0:11:41- It's fun more than anything, I suppose. It's what we generally refer to as a companion set.- Yes.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45But I can see it in an Old England fireplace or something like that.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Yes.- It's marked up at £34, so we should get some money off.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51We could get a few pounds off that. Make a little profit.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Well, you never know. I mean, would you have it in your house?
0:11:54 > 0:11:58David would, cos he's got a nice little fire stove.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I've got a wood-burning stove.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Should look all right, by the side of my stove.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Well, there we are. If you like it, then we should have a go at it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Get a few pound off of that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Old shoe nails as well.- Shoe nails.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Old shoe nails? Nice!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19With £20 paid, the Reds now have all three items.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24After a look around, the Blues are back at the little wooden chair.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25But is the price right?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I've rung the dealer.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29He thought 25 was a bit too low.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31But he's prepared to go to 28.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Oh, that's... I think 28's OK.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- We'll live with that.- Yeah?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- I think it's got just as much chance really at 28 as 25.- OK, fine.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- It's not a million miles out. - No, no.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- We're not going to argue over £3. - I don't think so, no.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I think we'll do that deal.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Thank you.- We'll take up to the front.- Wonderful.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Is that the third item? That's the third item. We are done.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57We can have a cup of tea!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00And a chat. My favourite pastime.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04A cup of tea. That sounds good.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Let's recap on the Reds' buys, while the kettle boils.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14The Tiffany silver card case, in its original pouch,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17seems like a good buy at £38.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22At £40, the Crown Ducal vase might be a steal.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28And finally, at £20,
0:13:28 > 0:13:32was the rusty, rustic companion set - a brilliant buy for the Reds?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36So lads, did you have a good time shopping?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Brilliant.- Which was your favourite piece, Philip?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- The Tiffany cardholder. - And you, Dave?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44The same, the Tiffany card case.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46You spent a pathetic £98.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Dear, oh, dear. £202 of leftover lolly.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55202, thank you very much, Dave.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56What about this, Mark?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01I found something which I think is a bit of a good buy, not anywhere near £200.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04There you are. You're such a tease.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07You better slip off and make quite sure that you get it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15The Blues paid £135 for the pewter posset warmer.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23The Silver Queen jug cost £85. It's very pretty, but is that too much?
0:14:23 > 0:14:28At £28, the Victorian hall chair seems quite a good buy,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30but it's missing its partner.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Now you two, did you have a good time shopping?- We did, yes.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Which is your favourite piece?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- The silver jug. - Favourite is the silver jug.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42What about you?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I like the silver jug, but I think the pewter posset warmer.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49It could either fly or bomb, but I like that. It's interesting.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51How are you with the posset, Joan?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Fine.- Have you been recently?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57You spent £248, which is great.
0:14:57 > 0:15:04I want £52 of leftover lolly, which goes straight here to find your bonus buy,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08which the team will not see until they get to the auction, which is exciting.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Got anything in mind? - I have, yes. No clues.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- It's not scales.- It's not scales?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Or a tea caddy. - They will be pleased.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20But you have something in mind?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Marvellous.- It is going to be fine.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Seize the moment!
0:15:23 > 0:15:2635...40...5...and 50.
0:15:26 > 0:15:2855, 60, 5, 70.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30All done?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35It's grand to be with Richard Kay at Lawrences saleroom in Crewkerne.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Hello, Tim.- Great to be here.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44Our Red team today, Phil and Dave, first item is this Charlotte Rhead lookalike pot.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Very stylish piece, very evocative of its era, inter-war British design.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52It lacks a signature on the bottom.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Therefore it's probably 30 or £40, I think, at best.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- £40, they paid. - So they're in the frame.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Next, is this seriously heavyweight fireside companion.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It's missing a couple of bits.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09I think that shows rather too much evidence of the way in which it was made. 15, maybe £20.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14No sweat, they paid £20, they didn't over-pay for it. It's a bit of fun.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Once again, they might just get there.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Last item is the Tiffany card case, complete with its pouch.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Is that something that appeals to you, Richard?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26It does rather because Tiffany is associated with
0:16:26 > 0:16:28very good-quality craftsmanship.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- I think it would make 30 or £40. - Brilliant. £38, they paid.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33That's fine. A very good price.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36We have a trio here, I think, with immense potential.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41But just in case they might need their bonus buy, let's go and have a look at it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49- Oh, my...- I thought "quirky". It's a 1930s motorbike fire extinguisher.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You wouldn't put a lot out with that.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I think that's rather a collector's item.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57And it was only £25.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58"Only"?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I think that might make £30 or £35.
0:17:01 > 0:17:09Mr Stacey has often been right in the past, particularly with his automobilia punts.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I think he might have got it wrong on this one.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Thank you very much for that.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17For the viewers at home, why don't we find out what the auctioneer
0:17:17 > 0:17:20thinks about Mark Stacey's fire extinguisher?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Quite how much broad appeal that's got, I don't know.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28If anyone would pay more than £10, I don't know.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34Once again, it's been inexpensively bought at £25 and, you never know.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- You never know. - Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues, Joan and Amanda.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43They've been tempted, first off, with this pewter posset warmer.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48I'm sure you'll agree, few things more irksome than a cool posset,
0:17:48 > 0:17:52so the need to warm it up is quite important.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54But this is a very cumbersome device.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57A curious extra element is that I gather
0:17:57 > 0:17:59it was once owned by James Fenimore Cooper.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01According to that letter.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05I don't know whether the collectors of pewter posset warmers
0:18:05 > 0:18:08care two hoots about James Fenimore Cooper, or vice-versa.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It might make £40 to £60.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15OK, they paid £135, which doesn't sound so much if you say it quickly.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Brilliant. What do you think about the cream jug?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Small silver is collectible,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24so I would hope that that would make perhaps £30 to £40.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28£85, they paid, you see? That's right pushing the outer edge
0:18:28 > 0:18:32of the retail value, with something with rub marks and no great weight.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37Their last piece is an incredibly unfashionable, uncomfortable
0:18:37 > 0:18:41and difficult piece of furniture to sell, I would have thought.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44It's hard to believe they were designed to be sat on.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Only briefly, I fancy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48While you were waiting in the hall.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52I think it might make £20, perhaps, if two people want it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55OK, they paid £28, so not a huge price.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58So, they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Let's go and have a look at it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Now, Joanie, Amanda, you spent £248,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09you gave Philip Allwood £52, what did he spend it on?
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Well, a very classy-looking piece of mahogany,
0:19:14 > 0:19:19dating to probably 1920-ish,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21and a super pedestal bowl.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I think it was a very reasonable £40.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- That's not bad.- Not too bad.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That's super, isn't it?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Do you like it, girls? - I like it, yeah.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Well, you've got a hit there, Philip.
0:19:32 > 0:19:39For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Philip Allwood's nut dish.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43This is beautifully made and it's got a lovely rich colour to it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I think that's a fruit bowl for an Edwardian or post-Edwardian dining table.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52It's an item that feels slightly out of time at the moment.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56The estimate on that, it might make perhaps £30 to £40.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Philip Allwood loves it, he paid £40, which again is not a lot.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01And you're in charge.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Good, well, I'll do my very best to get the best possible price.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06We're in safe hands.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Phil, Dave and Mark, this is just so good, isn't it?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Oh, it's absolutely brilliant.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24What's your prediction? Are you going to do all right, Dave?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Um, I don't see why not.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I think we got some good stuff.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Yes, I think we could make a few bob.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34First up, though, is the Charlotte Rhead vase. Here it comes.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Lot 231 is a 1930s Crown Ducal three-handled vase,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41possibly by Charlotte Rhead.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Can we say £30 for that? £30 to start me.
0:20:44 > 0:20:4830 I see on my far right, 30. There is a starting bid at 30.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Can I see 5 anywhere?
0:20:50 > 0:20:55- It's at £30, then.- Go on.- £30 and I'm selling last time at 30 only.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56£30.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Not good, that. -£10.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Look out for the chain set.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Lot 232 is the rustic chain companion set.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Bids start me here at £10.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10£10 I have.
0:21:10 > 0:21:1512, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28.
0:21:15 > 0:21:21Lady's bid at 28, standing by the door at 28. And selling at 28.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23All done at 28 for the last time.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Yes!- £28, plus £8. Well done.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Now, the Tiffany card case.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Lot 233 is a silver card case by Tiffany.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Bids start me here at £22, £25.
0:21:35 > 0:21:3925 is bid. 28, 30, £32 now.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44At £32, I'm selling now at £32.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- All done at 32.- £32.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51You're -£6 on that.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Overall, I make you on -£8.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55What do you think?
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- Might as well, might as well. We're down.- Yeah.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04OK, we're going for the bonus buy and here comes the fire extinguisher.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Lot 237 is a 1930's chrome motorbike fire extinguisher.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12There it is. £10 for that, if you will.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14£10 for it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- 5 then to start off?- Oh!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Oh no, come on.- At £5?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21£5, thank you. Seated at 5
0:22:21 > 0:22:258 now. It's £8, lady standing at 8 and I'm selling at £8 only.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26At £8, all done.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Oh my God!- £8.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Well, it extinguished the auction.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35I'm afraid that's -£17.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Oh, well.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40By anybody's money, it's -£17.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Plus the -8 means you're -25.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48That could be a winning score, though. Don't despair.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Well, we don't.- You don't.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52No, we don't. We never despair.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Don't tell the Blues anything either.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Won't say a word.- Well done, boys.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Now, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- No.- You don't? - No.- No.- They didn't tell you?- No.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- No.- Good. Lovely. How are you feeling, by the way? All right?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Yeah, I was.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19What do you mean "you was"?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Well, I was but seeing everyone's faces, I'm a bit nervous now.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Are you?- I was really confident.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- What about you, Joanie?- Excited.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- You're excited?- Yes.- I trust you.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33That's the spirit. The first item up is the posset warmer. Here it comes.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Lot 253, is a pewter posset warmer.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Bids start me here at £30 for it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43£30 is bid. At £30, can I say 5?
0:23:43 > 0:23:48It's at £30. All done. Perfect for keeping your posset warm.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Oh, God!
0:23:50 > 0:23:52£30 it is then. I'm selling at 30.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Last time.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58£30. So it's -105.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- That's not good, is it? - No. Here comes the cream jug.
0:24:01 > 0:24:08Lot 254 is a 1922 silver cream jug. Bids start me here at 35, 40.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10£45 is bid. 50, 55.
0:24:10 > 0:24:1360 now. I'm out at £60.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15At £60 and I'm selling at £60.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20It's in the room at 60. Selling now at £60. All done.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Good. £60, better than estimate, but I'm afraid still -£25.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Lot 225 is a late-Victorian oak-panel seated hall chair.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Start me at 20 on this one, if you will. £20 for it. £20 for the chair.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39£10 then if it helps. £10, thank you. £10 only and I'm selling at 10.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Any more? 12 now. 15.
0:24:42 > 0:24:4618. 20. £20. Any more?
0:24:46 > 0:24:51It's at £20 and selling. Lady's bid seated at 20 and selling now at £20.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54He is selling at £20, you are -8 on that.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Overall you are -138.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- It's a whopper.- It is.
0:25:00 > 0:25:06It's whopping up there, I'm afraid. What do you think about this mahogany bowl?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- I'm going to have it. - It will be better.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Are you going to bite his arm off for that?- We'd better go with that.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I don't blame you. £40.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16You are definitely going with that?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Here comes the mahogany bowl.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Lot 259, early-1920s mahogany bowl of Campana form.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Bids start me here at £35.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29It's on commission at £35. 40, 45.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32At £50. It's on my left.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I'm selling at 50. At £50, all done.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38At £50 and selling.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39For the last time at 50.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Well done.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- The right way.- It's fair enough.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48That makes your score 128.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53I'm afraid it's losses but £128, it could be a winning score.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Don't talk to the Reds.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59We will find out what happens in a sec.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Some days is good days and some days is bad days.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Today, well, it's too close to count, isn't it?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Been talking to one another?- No.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21You haven't. There's a sucking great gap between you, I have to say.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Somebody has to be the runner-up, right?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28With some enormous losses, the runners-up today are the Blues.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Oh, dear.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32£128-worth of losses.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Do you all still love each other?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Absolutely.- As much as you loved each other before you went shopping?
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- More.- Says the man.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45You've been great fun, thank you so much for joining us.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50The victors today, by only losing £25, is you guys.
0:26:50 > 0:26:56Mark found the rustic companion set which made a cool £8.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Otherwise it wasn't much cop, was it?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01There you go, you can't have everything.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04You've had a great day, anyway. We've loved having you on.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
