0:00:02 > 0:00:03You could be at home sad
0:00:03 > 0:00:07because your pickled onions aren't as good as they were last year.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Or sad because your homework's
0:00:10 > 0:00:13been chewed up by a dog that you don't own.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Or you could be with me, doing this!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20LAUGHTER
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Ooh, very good.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24And I know what I'd choose.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I'm in Builth Wells at the Royal Welsh Showground.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Coming up later in the show...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03..Mark gets a ticking off.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I've never had an eight-minute-warning.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Come on, guys, we've got to get this.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Do you really like that? - I do quite like that.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11- Really?- OK, we'll stick with that.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- I think you're barking up the wrong tree there.- Fair enough.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16The Reds struggled to agree.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I like that. I'm just wondering...
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- And I like that. - THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- And over at the auction, things don't always go to plan.- Come on!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- I feel a record coming on. - Bring it on.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Judging by this lot, we are in for one heck of a competition today.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38So, don't drop the teacake, Mrs Davenport.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Today we've got two teams of extremely good friends
0:01:43 > 0:01:48who are prepared to test their friendship in the venue of antiques.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51For the Reds, we've got Sue and Jan - welcome, girls -
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and Eric and Frances for the blues.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Now, how did you two meet?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59My stepson is married to Sue's daughter
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and that's how we met, when the children met.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And what do you do for a living, darling?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I have a small chocolate fountain business
0:02:06 > 0:02:10and I take chocolate fountains to weddings, parties and birthdays.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Do you have to lick out all the utensils afterwards?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- You might think I do, but I don't. - Don't you?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- You resist?- I resist.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19It actually gives me a headache,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21so I don't eat any of the chocolate at all.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Brilliant. And Sue, what do you do?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I work as an admission and transfer practitioner.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I'm a qualified nurse, but I work between health and social services.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It's the only one role, I think, in the whole of Great Britain,
0:02:32 > 0:02:33so it's quite unique,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35But you're partial to the odd animal, too, it says here.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Oh, we are, yes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41We actually live on a working farm. My husband's a farmer.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44We've got 100 sheep. Over 100 lambs.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I've got seven puppies, three dogs,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50and ten cattle we acquired yesterday,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52so it keeps us quite busy.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54And do you collect anything?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We've got stone baths from going round farm sales
0:02:57 > 0:03:00so we use those outside to plant, and old maps of farms, as well.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Now, these stone baths are feeding troughs?- They are.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Mostly pig troughs and things like that. They are quite heavy.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10You fill them with herbs and heathers and that kind of thing?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Yeah. I'm not a good gardener, so that's Jan's department.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15But I do plant them up
0:03:15 > 0:03:17and try and prevent the rabbits from eating them.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20There you are, we've got a team today to be reckoned with.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I hope the Blues aren't quaking in their boots.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Are you quaking in your boots?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27No need to, I'm sure. How did you two first meet?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Well, we both work at the same hotel.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Frances was the curator
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and I was doing driving and other jobs for them.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38So, curating at a hotel? That's quite an unusual set-up, isn't it?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Not many hotels have curators.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Well, it's a historic hotel.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Very interesting place.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Are you going to be any good at this buying and selling, Frances?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I hope so. I really do. I used to do a few antique fairs.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Did you?- Yes, I've done Malvern and a few others.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58You're experienced then? Ooh!
0:03:58 > 0:03:59HE CHUCKLES
0:03:59 > 0:04:02And what other things do you make, darling?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I do make paperweights, Tim, and I brought one for you.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Oh, look at that!
0:04:06 > 0:04:10What a handsome fellow that is. Who could that possibly be?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11THEY LAUGH
0:04:11 > 0:04:15It's a lovely paperweight. Thank you very much. Oops!
0:04:15 > 0:04:16THEY LAUGH
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I shall treasure it!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I shall treasure it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25It's just a pity it's in two parts!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Oh dear, anyway, there we go. That's really kind.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34If you don't mind holding that carefully for me,
0:04:34 > 0:04:35that's really super.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Now, we're at the money moment.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41This is where you get your £300 and you shove off shopping.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44There's your £300. You know the rules.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Your experts await and off you go!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So who will be helping our teams with the breakables today?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Dashing for the Reds, the ever-so-understated Thomas Plant.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03And, oh my word, Mark Stacey cuts it for the Blues.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09But they'll need to have their wits about them, as they'll be helping,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12not one, but two pairs of Reds and Blues.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20It's a music cabinet, is it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Yes, cos what you do, have a look here,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24come around here and have a good look.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So what you've got, you've got slide out drawers. They should lock.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- And then these flap down.- Ah.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- That's rather unusual, isn't it? - How fabulous.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37That would make a good filing cabinet for somebody's home office.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39It does make a very good filing cabinet.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Actually, I had one of these as a boy, as a bedside cabinet.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I used to put all my bits in there, comics, etc.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45- Yeah.- And, um...
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It should lock into place.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I mean, it is what it is, a mahogany music cabinet.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54At £40, it's very reasonable at that.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Very reasonable.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57STALLHOLDER: I'll do it for 30. >
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Look, he's coming down on price. - There you are.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- It's worth considering, isn't it? - What about the damage there?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04There's not too much damage on it.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05- I wouldn't worry about it.- OK.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07But I think it's something to consider.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Yes, I quite like that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I quite like the horn, as well.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So both teams have started looking,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18but is anyone splashing any of that £300 of cash?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- This one's broken here.- Is it?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And there's a little one broken here.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Which makes a difference, doesn't it?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Yeah, yeah.- You could just turn those around to the back.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28No, not yet!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Pearls are in at the moment.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yeah, they are very in, very in.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37These ones are cultured, yeah.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You can tell by the colour. They're slightly more creamy.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42What's the best on those?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45225?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46- A lot of money, isn't it? - That is a lot.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Make me an offer then. - Well, these pearls...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I sell a lot of jewellery,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54and these pearls I would sell between £150...
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Go on then, I'll take 150.- 150?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- It is pretty. - I know you like jewellery.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- I love jewellery.- You want to do it? - I do love jewellery.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- It's beautiful.- Thank you very much, we'll take your offer.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Now, viewers, I don't think it would be out of the way
0:07:10 > 0:07:14to point out that our Blues haven't bought a single item.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16The Reds, however, are on a roll.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18How much is your toddy ladle?
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- I can do that for 50.- 450?- No, £50.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26£50. I thought, "Well! That's..."
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Can I have a look, please?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Yeah, I quite like that.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32And I quite like the leaf, as well.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- The rabbit?- Yes.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Do you like that?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37The shell.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- The shell looks lovely, doesn't it? - The shell is beautiful.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42It's really...
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Can we have a look at the shell? Sue likes the shell.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- How much was that?- This is £50.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54It is quite nice.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's lovely, isn't it? £20!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Look at that end, the spiral to it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- It looks lovely round the other end. - It looks quite fun, doesn't it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04That's 50, that's 20.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I don't know. I'm just thinking, that, to me,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10that would sit very nicely and I would like to look at that,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13whereas that, I appreciate that it's whalebone and silver, but...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Let's buy that one then.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- You want to buy that one? - Yeah, I think we'll buy that one.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- A bit of a conflab going on. - We'll buy that one. Go on, then.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- £18? Done.- Well done, you!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27So, once again, the Reds splash their cash,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31£18 lighter and they've only got one more item to find.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- It's quite nice, Eric.- Yeah.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Do you know what I could see it in?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40If you had one of those 1930s houses.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Do you know sometimes you get those funny-shaped porches.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Yes!- You could have that mounted in the corner
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- as a porch light.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Now, I'm sure you can give us a good price on this.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55The best price I can do on that is 40.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Oh, a little bit better. - It really, really is it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Is that your best? - I always try and help.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Oh, I know you do. - But in this case it did cost me...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It's a very evocative style, isn't it?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- It's very '20s.- Very '20s.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- It's quite fun, you know. - Shall we have that, Frances?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Yes, I like it.- Are you sure? - Yes, yes.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- OK!- We'll take that, thank you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- I quite like that!- It's unusual.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Finally, 40 minutes in, the Blues make a start.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Item number one bought for £40.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27But with another two to find and 20 minutes in which to do it,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29my guess is they'll start to feel the pressure.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34How does this work? Ah, there we are.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Gosh, I like those.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Three together.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Mm. Don't you think they look rather wacky?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- What exactly are they,- Mark?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Well, I think they're theatre or cinema seats, you know,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50the set of three, cos these middle ones fold away
0:09:50 > 0:09:52and you've got under there U,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56which is obviously the row numbers. I think they're really wacky.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I can see those in a long hallway or landing in somebody's house.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04He wants £125 for each of them.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- For each set?- Yeah. But we don't have to buy all three sets.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08No, no, no.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11But I was just thinking, let's go next door,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15but if we were interested, then this is the one we should go for.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Well, let's go next door.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18We'll get back to that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Come back to them? You've only got ten minutes, not an eternity!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Scent bottles, double-ended ones. They're quite fun.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- One's silvered there - £45. - I quite like that one in its box.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29I think that will be quite expensive.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32And what is the double-ended...?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35STALLHOLDER: The double-ended one's purchasable, I would have thought.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39The best I can do on it... Obviously, it's a base-metal top,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- but a silver one like that's about 120, 140.- Absolutely.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I love cut glass anyway, so I like that.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46So, how much is that going to be?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49< The very... I can do it for 70. That is the very best.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- What do you think? - And I've got 95 on it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Oh, you've got a good opportunity there, cos, as he says,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56it's unusual, it's quite a good size.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I know I said size doesn't matter, but it's nicely hobnail cut,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- and I quite like this repousse work here.- I do like that.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Do you want to go for it?- Yeah.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07We've gone for some very girlie things.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- That's fine. I mean, you are girls, aren't you?- Quite!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It's very appropriate. And all I can do is advise you.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Yeah.- Go for it?- And you think that's a good buy?- I do.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Right, OK, we'll go for that, then. - Brilliant.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And they've done it. Final item, a scent bottle for £70.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Now it's just those Blues we've got to keep an eye on.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Well, it's 75 at the moment,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31but the interesting thing with this is it is actually signed.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34You've got the Charlotte Rhead signature,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35and you've got this nice...
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Mark, you've got eight minutes left. - Oh, my Gawd, eight minutes?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42An eight-minute warning! I've never had an eight-minute warning!
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Come on, guys, we've got to get decisive.- Let's buy this.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- Well, no, do you like it? - Yes, I do, I like it very much. I like the colours.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55What I do like is the fact that it has got all the markings of Charlotte Rhead.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58And jugs are quite popular for the kitchen and the bathroom.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- For flowers or whatever. - That's right.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Do you want to ask her?- Sure.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Can you do anything at all on that one?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Er, 50.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You can do it for 50? Yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13I'd certainly be comfortable to put an estimate of £40 to £60 on it,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15so 50 is getting there, we're in the right area.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- And it is a very pretty piece. - Some people might collect Charlotte Rhead.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Oh, they do, very much so.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Yeah.- Shall we have that? - Yeah.- Perfect. Thank you very much.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- We'll go out this way and go in the other shed.- OK, right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30At last, number two is safe.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35But how are they going to find their final piece in six minutes?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Ah! Smart move.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- You've decided on the three chairs. - At least they haven't been sold.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- They haven't been sold. - They've been waiting for us!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47They have. And I've spoken to the dealer,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50who's been extremely good to us, and we can have them for £100...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Oh, that's not bad. - ..which is not bad.- No, very good.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Re-upholstered in leather, polished up,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58they'd look incredibly smart and unusual.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59- Pretty good.- Very nice.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03That's it, they're out of time.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08First up for the Reds,
0:13:08 > 0:13:14why have one pearl necklace when you can get three for 150?
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Next, £18 paid for a shell-like silver doofer.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27And their final item, the scent bottle, coming in at a fragrant £70.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Smashing!
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Not bad, you guys, eh?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- You spent half your money in the first ten minutes.- Fantastic, yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35That's going for it, isn't it?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Which is your favourite piece?
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Definitely the shell.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- What about you, Jan? - I like the pearls.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Very good. Which piece will bring the biggest profit, Sue?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Definitely the shell.- Yeah?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- I agree with Sue. The shell. - You're going with the shell.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Very good. Now, you spent £238, yes?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54£62 of leftover lolly goes to Thomas Plant.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Ooh, wonderful! I'm so lucky!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So, while he trots off to find something rather nice,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04why don't we remind ourselves what the Blues bought?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07After 40 minutes, the Blues made their first purchase -
0:14:07 > 0:14:09one porch light for £40.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Second up, they parted with £50 and acquired a Charlotte Rhead jug.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20And, finally, £100 for the theatre seats.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Hubble, bubble, let's hope it makes double!
0:14:23 > 0:14:27So, you two, you had a warning from the time police!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Down to the last eight minutes, eh? - We did.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Frances, which is your favourite piece, darling?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- The Charlotte Rhead jug, I think. - Uh-huh.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35And I prefer the porch light.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Porch light's your favourite.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- The light, I think.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42The light, you think.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43I'm hoping the same.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Yes!- You spent £190.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50- Please give £110 of leftover lolly to Mark.- Thank you!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's a lot of money.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I should be able to find something at a big fair like this.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Yes, you should do. Good luck with that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Well, we find ourselves in the heart of Gloucestershire,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15at Moore Allen & Innocent's saleroom,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19with our auctioneer of the moment, Philip Allwood. Good morning.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Good morning.- Now, for Sue and Jan, their first item
0:15:23 > 0:15:26is this triple string of artificial pearls.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29What sort of estimate would you put on that, then, Phil?
0:15:29 > 0:15:34I'd think we're looking at around £100, £150, that sort of level.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- It's a triple strand.- Triple whammy.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It's got everything going for it.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Well, you'll have to kick on, as they say, because they paid £150.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Did they?- They did.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Next is the white-metal shell.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54It's quite fun. I wasn't bowled over by its quality or its...
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Not quite sure what it's made of, even.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00No. I've been a little bit cagey and called it "silvered".
0:16:00 > 0:16:04They paid £18 for it. What sort of estimate would you put on it?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, we've put officially 10 to 20.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Fair enough. - It's somewhere round there.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Good. Now, what about this double-ended scent bottle?
0:16:11 > 0:16:16I think 20 years ago it would have made far more money, yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Not quite as popular as they used to be.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21But it'll still sell.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24They're the sort of things that people will put in
0:16:24 > 0:16:26the bijouterie cabinet or display cabinet.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30But wouldn't you want a silver one rather than an embossed brass job?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Yeah.- Wouldn't you want a coloured glass one
0:16:32 > 0:16:34rather than a plain cut glass one?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Some are so much better than this, aren't they?- Absolutely.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39What's your estimate?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- I think we put 50 to 80, around that sort of level.- Yeah.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Sue went for that. £70 they paid.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49So we've got the high-risk pearl, we've got the seriously
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- dissed scent bottle, and then the inexpensive shell.- Yeah.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57So, overall, I fancy they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00so let's trot off and have a look at it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04£62 of leftover lolly went to Thomas. What did he spend it on?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I nearly spent it all on a very fine silver-gilt sovereign case.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- That's beautiful.- Isn't that lovely!
0:17:11 > 0:17:13That is gorgeous!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15And how much did you spend on it?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- £60!- £60?- A full £60.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20That is lovely. I do like that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22We've gripped it. Lovely.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Don't choose now, choose after the sale of your first three items.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27But for the audience at home,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the sovereign case.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33It's a good Victorian example.
0:17:33 > 0:17:351900 hallmark on it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37You're probably looking at a value
0:17:37 > 0:17:40of somewhere round £50 or so for one like this.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43OK. Well, Thomas paid 60, actually.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44He's on the button, isn't he?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Jolly difficult to find something in a fair
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- that's going to make automatically a huge profit.- Yes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55This is rather fun, look.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57What do you think about the porch light?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I think it looks like a knight's helmet.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01A visor, yes, absolutely.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05It's got almost an Arts & Crafts-y sort of look about it, which...
0:18:05 > 0:18:06..is very Gloucestershire.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Absolutely.- You're in the heart of...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Entrenched.- Gosh! Eric found it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Our Eric found it and he paid £40. Did he do well, do you think?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I think he probably did. £50-80 wouldn't be too much to ask at all.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Perfect! Now, here's a little juglet.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Our Charlotte.- Charlotte Rhead.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31I don't think there's any mistaking the style of it or the design.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33It's exactly what she's well known for.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Probably £30, £40, something like that.- £50 they paid.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Hmm.- But their last piece...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I think is truly extraordinary.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43This trio of chairs.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47I think they probably pre-date that
0:18:47 > 0:18:51and date to about 1900, 1910, so I've called them theatre seats.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52- Right.- Rightly or wrongly.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55But I'm pretty confident they pre-date the cinema.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59And quite fun to do up - reupholster and a bit of red leather and wotnot.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Probably need that, yeah.- Yes. So, will they make more than £100?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I put 100-150 on them.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Oh, right! That's very encouraging.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a little bit more.- No.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- We've got three interesting items. - Absolutely.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15If all goes well, they won't need their bonus buy
0:19:15 > 0:19:17but let's look at it anyway.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19I bought this, Tim!
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Which I thought was a charming little art deco
0:19:22 > 0:19:26bronze of a Dachshund on a marble base.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I thought it was quite attractive, particularly if you like Dachshunds.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I paid £90 for it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Are you what they call a dog lover, Eric?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Umm...- No.- Not particularly, no.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- £90?- £90 I paid.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40It's not one of a pair, is it? Beside a clock?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43No, I wouldn't have thought so. I know where you're coming from.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's a good question, but I don't think it is.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I don't think this is going terribly well, Mark!
0:19:48 > 0:19:53You've selected an animal uniquely for two people who loathe dogs,
0:19:53 > 0:19:59who wish they'd got a pair, who don't think that the base is right!
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I think, while we're at this point,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04we'll move on to the auctioneer and find out what he thinks about it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Nothing wrong with that at all.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Probably dates to 1880, 1900.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Don't think it started off life on this base.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16It just seems just an overkill, really,
0:20:16 > 0:20:17for a little piece like that.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19So, what's your estimate?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- I think I've put £30-50. That sort of region.- How much?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24£30-50.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Old Stacey paid £90 for it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Did he?- Of course, the team may not go with it.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Let's hope.- Quite! - Let's hope they don't have to.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34That's right. That's the positive way forward.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40Lovely! So pleased to hear you in such positive form. Thanks, Phil!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Now, Sue and Jack. Are you happy?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- We're excited.- You are excited! - Oh, yes.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00First up, are the string of pearls and here we go!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Good looking piece with a nice clasp.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06I can start you here at... £80 I have.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10At 80. At £80. Five if you like now.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- At £80, five, 90, five, 100. - Yes, yes, yes.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16110, 120,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- 130, 140, 150, 160.- Yes!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23170, 180. At 180, still it's cheap.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- At 180. 190 now.- Well done!
0:21:25 > 0:21:29At £180. At £180.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32You all sure at 180?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Well done! 180.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36A profit of 30 quid on that.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Perfect.- Excellent.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Here come the shell. - Who'll start me? 20, 30?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Nice decorative piece. 20.
0:21:43 > 0:21:4610 to get on. £5?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Oh no!- Must be a fiver.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Go on!- Couple of pounds?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52£2, anybody?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Yes, two all over the place, look! I'm not asking enough. At two, four.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Six if you like anywhere. At four here.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Got to be six, hasn't it? At £4 on my right.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04At £4 the lady's bid. Six now anywhere?
0:22:04 > 0:22:05I'll take five if it helps you.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08At £4 I have here. Five, do you mean, sir?
0:22:08 > 0:22:14At £4, it's selling. On my right, all done at a massive £4.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- £4 it is. - That's half the profit gone.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20£4. I'm very sorry. It's minus £14.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23What do we know? What do we know!
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Here comes the scent bottle. Here we go!
0:22:26 > 0:22:32And I can start you on the book at 45 only. 45, 50 now. At 45.
0:22:32 > 0:22:38- 50, five, 60, five, 70, five.- Yes!
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Brilliant.- At 75, 80.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Five. At 85 with me. At 85. 90 now.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46At 85. Pretty piece at 85.
0:22:46 > 0:22:4890, going to say now then?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51At £85. You all done?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55£85. You've got your £15 back.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57You are plus 31. Smashing job!
0:22:57 > 0:22:59£31 in the pocket.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- That's a winning score. Could be! - Could be a winning score!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Could be a winning score. Will you risk it with this sovereign case?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- You can bank your £30. - What do we do, Thomas?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Lovely, silver gilt sovereign case.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14It is lovely!
0:23:14 > 0:23:18But is it at the top of its money?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I think you could cause some difficulties. Make a decision.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I think we stick with what we've got.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- No bonus buy.- No bonus buy. - No bonus buy!
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- You're not going with the bonus buy? - No!- Not going with my judgement!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Sorry, Thomas. Sorry, Thomas. - No, you've stuck with it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Number 186.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36The silver gilt sovereign case.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Late Victorian one. Who'll start me? Should be 50, really, shouldn't it?
0:23:40 > 0:23:4250 to get on.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43£30.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45At 20 only. Five, 30,
0:23:45 > 0:23:4840, five, 40, five.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Make me right at 45 here. 50 now.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- 50, five, 60, five. At 65 here. 70 now.- £5 profit.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59At 65, 70, five, 80.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00- Oh no!- No!- Bother!
0:24:00 > 0:24:0290.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04At £90, it's on my right.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07At £90. Are you all sure now?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It's on my right at 90.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- £90. Well done!- Oh!
0:24:11 > 0:24:13We should have trusted you, sorry!
0:24:13 > 0:24:16That would have made a profit of £30.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- I tell you, Thomas... - We've still got a profit.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Thomas Plant's very good, isn't he?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- He is, yes.- Thank you, Tim.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23That's very good.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Anyway, there we are! You didn't go with the bonus buy.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30You passed up the profit of £30 on that. But you are £31 ahead,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32which is a considerable achievement on Bargain Hunt.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- The big thing is, don't tell the Blues a word.- No, no.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Now, Frances and Eric, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- We don't.- You don't. That's why we've kept you apart.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48We don't want you to know how they did.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50How are you feeling, Frances? Are you feeling confident?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Fairly, yes.- Fairly.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Fairly confident. - How about you, Eric?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I'm very confident. Always!
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Great. The first lot up is the porch light, Eric, and here it comes.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Good looking Arts & Craftsy looking piece. Who'll start me?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Should be 100, really. Start me 50?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- £30 to get on.- Oh, gosh.
0:25:09 > 0:25:1220 then. £20. Nice little hall lantern there.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13At £20. A tenner?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Go and buy it for me.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18£10 then. Yes, £10. Thank you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- At £10. 12 if you like. At 12.- It's going a bit.- 15.
0:25:21 > 0:25:2418. Got to be cheap. 20.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Two. At 22.- Oh, this is...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29At 22 on the left.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32At £22. Five anywhere? 25.
0:25:32 > 0:25:3628, if you like? 28, 30.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38At £30, five.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41At 35 on the left. At 35, 40 now.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42At £35. Still cheap.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45At 35. Are you all done?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46At 35.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- That is cheap, isn't it? £35. - Should have been more.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51It's only minus £5.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54So, let's not despair but that's a pity.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Now, Charlotte Rhead. Is the big name going to save it?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Nice little piece there.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Pattern TL4 of course.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I can start you on the book here
0:26:03 > 0:26:05at £20. At £20 I have.
0:26:05 > 0:26:0725 I'll take now.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10At 25, 30, five, 40.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Five, 50, five, 55. 60 now.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17At 55. In front of me here.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19At 55. 60 on the left if you like.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24At £55, right in front of me at 55.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Well done, Mark. Profit of a fiver. - So we broke even.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29It's all on our seats now.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33That's plus five. You've now wiped your face. No profit, no loss.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Next, though, are the theatre seats.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39It's all down to the quirky one, isn't it?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- It'll make us or break us, this one. - Here we go!
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Interesting lot. Don't get many of these around.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51I can start you on the book here at 100. £100 I'm bid. 100, 110.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55120, 130, 140.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58150, 160, 170, 180.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03190, 200, 210, 220.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05230, 240.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06- 250.- I feel a record coming on.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10At 250. 260 now. At 250 I have.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- 260!- 250. 260 now?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17At £250. Are you all sure now? Selling here. Make no mistake.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20At £250.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24£250! There we go.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27That's a profit of £150.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30I tell you, girl. You are in the pound seats, aren't you?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well done, you two! Well done!
0:27:33 > 0:27:36So, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39You are £150 in profit.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Are you going to risk any of that on the £90 dog?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- No!- We've talked about it and I don't think we will.- No dog, no dog!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- We'll leave the Dachshund. - I definitely...
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I don't even need to finish my question
0:27:50 > 0:27:53before I've got the no answer!
0:27:53 > 0:27:56We're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59A cast bronze model of the begging Dachshund. There we go.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05Showing on the left there. I can start you on the book at £25.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06More than I thought!
0:28:06 > 0:28:09At 25, 30, five, 40, five,
0:28:09 > 0:28:1350. The book's out. At £50 here. Five now. At £50.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14In front of me now.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16At £50. Five anywhere?
0:28:16 > 0:28:17At £50. Looks cheap at 50.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20All done. It's selling here right in front of me.
0:28:20 > 0:28:2355. 60. At £60. Five if you like.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Another fiver. At £60 here. Five if you like.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29At £60. You all done?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- £60.- You were right to do that. Well done!
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Look at Frances's face!
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Look how pleased she is with that!
0:28:37 > 0:28:39That is fantastic!
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- So, minus £30 for the dog, but you didn't go with it.- No!
0:28:43 > 0:28:48No dogs on this programme. But you are, overall, £150 up.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Thanks to the theatre seats.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52That is so brilliant, I can't tell you, team.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55But don't say a word to the Reds.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56There's no point in spoiling their day.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00So, the Blues made a whopping £150 profit, making them the winners,
0:29:00 > 0:29:04as, remember, the Reds made just £31.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Coming up, two more pairs of reds
0:29:08 > 0:29:11and blues take on the bargain Hunt challenge.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13But first, I'm off to somewhere exciting.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Built in the mid 13th Century
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Powis Castle sits proudly overlooking the Severn Valley.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Spread over five levels, the castle has grown and accommodated
0:29:27 > 0:29:31various families, each of whom has had a hand in shaping
0:29:31 > 0:29:33its form and detail.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38Just take a wander along these carefully crafted terraces
0:29:38 > 0:29:43and look at the beautifully maintained gardens and you'll get
0:29:43 > 0:29:47to understand just why this place is world renowned.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50But it's the treasures inside the old castle
0:29:50 > 0:29:53that I've come to have a gander at today.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00This Long Gallery was designed to impress distinguished guests
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and to provide an indoor space for walking.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08The most eye-catching and dramatic group of sculpture up this
0:30:08 > 0:30:14long corridor, has to be this set of 12 busts of Roman emperors.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20Probably donated by the Pope to the Herbert family in the 1680s,
0:30:20 > 0:30:25they fetched up here at Powis in 1704 and ever since have been
0:30:25 > 0:30:29a bit of a worry, because the scale and weight of these busts
0:30:29 > 0:30:33potentially could descend through the Tudor floor.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Actually, the National Trust have sorted this out now
0:30:37 > 0:30:40by restoring the floor and introducing iron beams.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45This bust of Claudius shows the emperor's head carved out of a single
0:30:45 > 0:30:52lump of Carrara marble, which is then inset into a complicated toga.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57That is made up of a series of different coloured marbles, carved
0:30:57 > 0:31:02and matched and then put together rather like a complicated jigsaw.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Now this has to be a very rare piece of sculpture.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11It purports to date from the Roman Empire period
0:31:11 > 0:31:15and if it is Roman Empire period it's an extremely rare survival
0:31:15 > 0:31:19because the Romans didn't really do cats.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22However, Lord Clive, when he was visiting Rome,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25fell in love with this particular piece.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30He wanted to give it to his wife and bring it back to Powis.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Lo and behold, it did finish up back here
0:31:33 > 0:31:36and I hope it made her very happy.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39And speaking of happy couples, our next two pairs of reds
0:31:39 > 0:31:41and blues will be hoping for some marital
0:31:41 > 0:31:45bliss as they go in search of bargains back at place-mac.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Let's meet the misters and their missuses.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Two teams of happily married couples.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Well, happily married at the moment! For the Reds, Karen and Graham,
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- for the Blues, Mandy and Ross. Welcome to Bargain Hunt. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03You did meet in quite an unusual way, didn't you, Karen?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06We did. We met at a Christmas bazaar. I was on the tombola stall
0:32:06 > 0:32:10and Graham was running the children's clothes store next to me.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15- And quite obviously his number came up!- You could say that.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17What do you do for a job of work?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19I work for one of the large High Street banks.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- One of the bankrupt banks?- Yes. - Does that involve a lot
0:32:22 > 0:32:25of travelling, meetings, that kind of thing?
0:32:25 > 0:32:26I do, I work for business banking
0:32:26 > 0:32:29and I do a lot of travelling around the country.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31And you get involved with security incidents, stuff like that?
0:32:31 > 0:32:36Yeah, I think you're referring to an incident when I was going to
0:32:36 > 0:32:39a conference and we were queuing up and we had to show security passes
0:32:39 > 0:32:42and it was very cold and wet, I'd got my big coat on
0:32:42 > 0:32:47and the policeman on the door said, "Madam, can I see your pass, please?"
0:32:47 > 0:32:50and I went to pull my coat back to show him the pass,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53but unfortunately pulled my dress back, as well!
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I think he was very pleased to see you! Graham, we want don't want
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- the missus doing that today?- No.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03- Do you collect or buy anything yourself?- I collect old cutlery.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I've got Victorian china and knives and forks and things like that,
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- and I like old Victorian furniture. - And you used to be an estate agent.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- I did.- Now you do something else? - Yes, I've followed the economy
0:33:13 > 0:33:17downwards and I've actually gone to work for a bank, for my wife.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Same bank?- The same bank, yes. - Good luck to you.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- Thank you.- That's brilliant. Now, for the Blues, Mandy and Ross.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Lovely to see you.- Thank you.- Mandy, you bagged yourself a toy boy
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- when you went off to university, didn't you?- That's right, yes.
0:33:30 > 0:33:36- Yes.- I was a mature student and Ross used to help me with my programming.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Really? Well, we don't want to go into every detail!
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Ross, is there anything you like to collect?
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- I collect wristwatches, Tim. - Oh, do you?
0:33:46 > 0:33:51I also collect Auto course manuals which are annuals about motor sport.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- And what sort of job do you do? - I own a company that writes software
0:33:55 > 0:33:58for local authorities, government, so nothing very interesting,
0:33:58 > 0:34:02no games or anything, but it has to be done as local authorities have to
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- save a load of money at the moment. - You're there to provide the gadgets?
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Yes.- But you haven't always been incredibly successful
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- with regards buying and selling?- No. We decided that we would try and buy
0:34:12 > 0:34:16some stuff at a real auction and then sell it on an online auction site.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20So we bought a great big box of maps and a great big box
0:34:20 > 0:34:23of football programmes at what I thought was bargain basement.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Bargain price.- 20 quid.- For the lot! - But there's a reason why they
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- were 20 quid, because they were all rubbish!- So entrepreneurial activity
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- in some areas is not quite so hot. - I'll stick to software, I think!
0:34:35 > 0:34:38No, what we want you to stick to today is bargain hunting,
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- all right?- Absolutely.- And here is the £300. £300.- Thank you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very good luck.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- We've got an hour, guys, shall we do it?- Yes.- Come on, then.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53And they're off.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57We'll start up there and then we'll walk around,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59OK? I thought we'd walk along this.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Although it's not long until Mark starts thinking about his stomach.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- I rather like that, don't you? - Yes, it's nice. I like that.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Well, it's a cake stand, or an afternoon tea stand.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12If you think of the bygone age of the 1920s where you would lay out
0:35:12 > 0:35:16your sandwiches and your fondant fancies and people would delicately
0:35:16 > 0:35:19take them off on little side plates, and it's in very good condition.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- If you look, we've a little maker's plaque there, the Monoplane.- OK.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- Monoplane, yes.- And these little ivory implants normally mean that
0:35:27 > 0:35:30they were made in the sort of 1920s. And this one is marked up at 165.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32It all folds... How does it work?
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- I'm trying to realise... See how this works.- Oh, there you go.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Ah.- Yes, a little mechanism there. - Yeah, it sticks in.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40So when you don't want to use it
0:35:40 > 0:35:43you can fold it away as a decorative piece of furniture.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- It looks quite nice when it's folded - Yeah, then you do want to use it
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- you go like that to begin with and then...- Oh, I like that, yeah.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- It's nice, yes.- The price of £165 is a bit much, I think.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- It is a lot. - You'd need to negotiate on that.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57What's it going to make at auction?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00An estimate of 100 to 150 isn't far out. Of course,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03it doesn't mean anything, an estimate. If two people want it
0:36:03 > 0:36:06it could make 200, if nobody wants it it might make 80,
0:36:06 > 0:36:08but I don't think at this stage it would do any harm
0:36:08 > 0:36:11to ask, at least, what the best price is.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- OK.- Let's find out the best price...
0:36:13 > 0:36:18- You two go off and have a word with her, and then I'll meet you back here.- OK.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Mandy and Ross use their negotiating skills
0:36:20 > 0:36:22and get the cake stand for £120.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Thomas, what do you think? - These are Meerschaum pipes.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- Why do you like them?- My eye was drawn to them, I love the detail.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- Graham?- I think the sun was in her eyes when she saw them.- Really?- Yes.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41See, that's giving me vibes that you're not liking them.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Not over keen, no.- Right, OK.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Are they old, or...? - They're probably 30 years old.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Oh, is that all?- Yeah. But do you know what this is?- No.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Meerschaum, it's like a chalky sort of mineral and it's carved
0:36:51 > 0:36:55and it makes the tobacco taste differently, I hear.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58There's a big tradition of carved pipes
0:36:58 > 0:37:01from this Ottoman part of the world. They're very nice.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03How much are your Peeps, pipes?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05- 45 the set.- 45 the set?- Yeah.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08That's not bad, actually, if you think about it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13£11.50 a pipe, something like that. A little bit of damage to that one.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Do you think it's the sort of thing collectors...- Pipes are collectable.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Yeah.- They're not that old, that's one thing you've got to realise.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- Have a look at them.- Do you think we could get it for just slightly less?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- You could ask. Do you want to have a go?- Shall we?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Go and ask.- Go on.- Graham, you're really not keen?- I'm not over keen.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I prefer those knives there...
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Oh, knives are boring! Those are more exciting.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- OK.- Let me go and ask him. - Off you go.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38Graham and I will have a...
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Will have a look. There's plenty of china.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44They might be exciting, Tom, but will Karen get the price down?
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- Could you do it for, say, 35? - No, I'll do it for 40.- 40?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Go on then, yeah. I'll take it for 40.- OK.- Lovely, thank you.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54So, that's their first item.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57The Blues are on the hunt for their second,
0:37:57 > 0:38:00although there's a lot to choose from.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Could we have a look at the rodent one there, please,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- and the ram's head one. - And the ram's head one.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06- Oh, and the dog one.- Oh, yeah.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10In fact, just the whole cabinet if you could just bring it out!
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Don't be greedy, Mark, you only need another two items.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Over with the Reds, Graham has finally found something that appeals to him.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21That's something I really like the look of. The colour.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26- They're all willow pattern. - Yeah.- And this large one,
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- this was earlier in date and that mark there, see?- The mark, yeah.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32That's for the Spode factory. It might be another factory
0:38:32 > 0:38:35that had that mark, but 99% of the time that's a Spode plate.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40- It's rather nice, isn't it?- Yes, it is.- I like the thick cobalt colour.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- There's a slight shape to it. - Will people buy those just
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- to display rather than actually use them?- Absolutely, on the dresser.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Shall we ask about the price? - It would be worth it.- I think so.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Let's see how much it is.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56How much is your blue and white platter, please?
0:38:56 > 0:38:5830. Three-0.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- £30?- That doesn't seem too bad, no.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Could you do 28?
0:39:02 > 0:39:0428?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Yeah, she'll do 28. - Yeah, I like that.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Oh, well!- There you go. - I found it, so I like this one.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- You want to go for it? - I want to go for it, yes.- 28 quid?
0:39:13 > 0:39:18- Definitely.- Go and have a chat. You never know, you could get more off. Have a go.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22That's right, Bargain Hunters, honesty is always the best policy.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26The stallholder wouldn't budge, so the Reds take the plate away
0:39:26 > 0:39:30for £28 leaving them with a whopping £232.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- Mark, what about this?- Oh, I like that. Do you like that, Ross?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38It's OK. What is it, exactly?
0:39:38 > 0:39:39It's an inkwell.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42What's particularly nice about it is this shape and this is from the
0:39:42 > 0:39:47- Art Nouveau period, so we're looking at a date of around about 1910.- OK.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51And we have a little look around it, we've got a little mark underneath
0:39:51 > 0:39:54there which is a shortened version of the word "gerschutz",
0:39:54 > 0:39:57which is a German word that means registered.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01What I also like about it is it's only £35.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04At auction, what would the estimate be?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06I'd like to see it marked up at £30 to £50 or so.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- So there should be a profit in that? - There should be. Shall I leave it with you?
0:40:10 > 0:40:14The Blues did some hard bargainng and got the ink well for £28.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19At this rate they look like they're on course for an early bath,
0:40:19 > 0:40:23although, this piece is a bit puzzling.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28- That's a letter opener.- Is it?- Yes. - It looks a bit short, isn't it?
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Gosh, how strange. London, 1956. So it's solid silver.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- It's quite heavy, isn't it? - Yeah, it is.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- Why does it say see CCP? - Wasn't that the Communist Party?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43No, that's... No, that three Cs, wasn't it?
0:40:43 > 0:40:46I don't know what that is. But it is, it's 925,
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- so it's continental. How much is it?- 45.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Oh, I don't like that. - You can have it for 35.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- I think it's still a lot.- Do you? That's a good four ounces of silver.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Yeah.- What do you think it'll make at auction?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02It's a difficult thing because it's relatively modern.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- Personally speaking, I'd be happy to put £50 to £80 on that.- Really?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Because I think it's a quality object.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10- Would you take 30 for it? - Yeah.- Thank you.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Guys, I'm so impressed with you.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16We've got three items in only 35 minutes.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Time for a cup of tea, let's go! - Absolutely.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Well, that decisiveness paid off for the Blues,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24leaving the Reds shopping alone for their final item.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- I like that hall stand. - Hello. Which one?
0:41:26 > 0:41:31- There, £35.- Really? Or is it £95? I can't see.- I quite like that.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Excuse me, can I have a look at your hall stand?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- No charge for looking. - Just move that out of the way...
0:41:38 > 0:41:40That is really pretty.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I like the tray in the bottom for your umbrellas.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47- Normally you would expect a drip tray like that...- For umbrellas.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49It's quite good because it's got the mirror as well,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- so in a hallway...- It's pretty.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- It is useful as well. - Absolutely. It's mahogany.- Yeah.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57It's probably late 19th century and these all look OK.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- I would have thought it would be worth about 145.- What did you say?
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- I'd say about 145?- £145. - I think, yeah.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- That's how much you'd...?- I think. - You would have paid for it.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- I would have paid for it.- Shall we ask if he can do any better?
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Thomas negotiated £80 for the hall stand,
0:42:13 > 0:42:17which means both teams have all their items in good time.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20So, let's have a recap on what they bought.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Karen's choice of the pipes wasn't to everyone's taste,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27but will she prove the chaps wrong at auction?
0:42:27 > 0:42:31The willow pattern platter has got a definite buyer in Graham,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33but that's definitely against the rules.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36He also had his eye on the Edwardian hall stand,
0:42:36 > 0:42:40but will the auction house hold like-minded people?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Which is your favourite piece, Karen?- The meat platter, I think.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- What about you, Graham?- The hall stand.- The hall stand's favourite.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- A lovely piece.- And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- The platter.- I think so, too. We both agree it's the platter
0:42:53 > 0:42:58Well, you spent £148. Now, that's 152 to Thomas.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- I'm going to spend this. - What, the whole lot?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- The whole lot.- OK, fine.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Let us remind ourselves what the Reds are up against
0:43:05 > 0:43:08by having a look at what the Blues bought.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Like the Reds, they also found a mahogany stand,
0:43:12 > 0:43:16but this one is for cakes and cost a sweet £120.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20For £28 the team walked away with the German inkwell,
0:43:20 > 0:43:22but will it help them make a profit?
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Silver is always a good option and that's exactly
0:43:25 > 0:43:28what the Blues thought with this novelty letter opener.
0:43:31 > 0:43:32So, Speedy Gonzales,
0:43:32 > 0:43:36you were all over and done with in 35 minutes, which is pretty good.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Very decisive and you got some great deals.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40And which is your favourite piece?
0:43:40 > 0:43:43- The letter opener is my favourite. - And what about you, Mandy?
0:43:43 > 0:43:45- The cake stand.- For favourite?- Yes.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- The letter opener.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52- The letter opener?- I think so. - Yeah, OK, fine. Now, you spent £178.
0:43:52 > 0:43:57I'd like you to give £122 to Mark, which is tasty.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00A tasty amount of money, but I don't think I'm going to spend it all.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02- I'm going to try and buy wisely, Tim.- Are you?
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Well, that'll make a change.
0:44:14 > 0:44:18If you were to drive 90 miles due east from mid Wales you'd hit
0:44:18 > 0:44:23the village of Norcote, where, of course, Moore, Allen and Innocent
0:44:23 > 0:44:26have their sale room and who do we find here
0:44:26 > 0:44:29but our old mate, Philip Allwood. How are you, Philip?
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- Very well indeed.- Now, Karen and Graham in the Red team,
0:44:33 > 0:44:36they went with this hideous set of Meerschaum pipes.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40- The really good ones can be... - They don't look like that. - No, they don't.
0:44:40 > 0:44:47- So, how much do you think this terrible box of Meerschaum's worth? - Well, we've put £20 to £40,
0:44:47 > 0:44:51which I think is quite probably optimistic.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Well, let's hope it makes £40 because they paid £40.
0:44:54 > 0:45:00- Did they?- Karen went with it. Their next item is to the contrary, because here is a brilliant object.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03It is. It's early 19th-century blue and white pottery,
0:45:03 > 0:45:07transfer decorated and it's got everything going for it.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09In good condition. It's actually got a mark on the base
0:45:09 > 0:45:12that looks somewhat like a Spode mark.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16- It's probably worth anything up to about £50.- Well, they only paid £28.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19- That's a good buy.- And that's what I think is so phenomenal.- Yeah.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Now, I'm not proposing to hang up my coat, what about you? Here's a good hat and coat stand.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Yeah, it's not a bad late-Victorian mahogany hall stand.
0:45:27 > 0:45:33- Quite right. And how much do you think it's worth, then?- I'd put £100 to £150, that sort of region.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36That's so beezer, I can't tell you because £80 is what they paid.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- Not bad at all.- Overall, then, will they need the bonus buy?
0:45:39 > 0:45:43Quite frankly, I haven't got the faintest idea, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47A piece of silver, George V, it's just a very large fluted bowl.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51Hallmarked in Sheffield, with quite an interesting pierced rim.
0:45:51 > 0:45:56- What do you think? - I think it's really pretty, actually. - Yes. I spent £140 on that.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58- Yeah.- Wow! - Now, if you think about
0:45:58 > 0:46:02the silver weight, to be really harsh on that,
0:46:02 > 0:46:07it's quite heavy, so I would imagine there's probably about 12 to 14 troy ounces of silver
0:46:07 > 0:46:10and if silver is scrapping at £7 an ounce,
0:46:10 > 0:46:14for a made-up object I believe there's a profit in it.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16If there's a silver trader, I believe there's a profit in it.
0:46:16 > 0:46:23The big factor is you may not need to take it because you may be so far ahead with your items
0:46:23 > 0:46:27- that this bonus buy business is neither here nor there. - You never know.- You never know.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- But if you do need to take it, you do now know all about it.- OK.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:46:34 > 0:46:40It's a nice quality piece by Cooper Brothers & Sons of Sheffield, 1912.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44- It's quality piercing, the design is nice.- You obviously like it, Phil.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- Yeah, it's a nice thing.- Thinking big? What's our estimate on?
0:46:47 > 0:46:52I've put £100 to £150 and looking at it I'm thinking that might be conservative.
0:46:52 > 0:46:56- Oh, good, because Thomas paid 140, actually.- Oh, did he?- Yeah.- Well...
0:46:56 > 0:47:01- But it could make £180, couldn't it? - It... It's possible.- OK, fine. Thank you very much for that.
0:47:01 > 0:47:06That is it now for the Reds and we're moving on neatly to the Blues, Ross and Mandy.
0:47:06 > 0:47:11- Their first item is the Monoplane cake stand.- Yeah.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13What period? Late '30s, that sort of time?
0:47:13 > 0:47:18- Maybe slightly earlier. I would have said sort of...- '20s or '30s. - That sort of period.
0:47:18 > 0:47:23You've got to be pretty gutsy in your estimate here because Mark went quite strongly with this.
0:47:23 > 0:47:28Did he? I'd put probably 50 to 80, hoping, on a good day, it might make 100.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31Mark paid a whopping £120.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33I'm not surprised at a fair, seeing that price.
0:47:33 > 0:47:38- OK.- But we might struggle to beat that at auction. We'll see.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Now, what about this brass and glass ink well?
0:47:40 > 0:47:45- It's just missing out somewhat on the quality side.- How much, then?
0:47:45 > 0:47:48Well, we've put £20 to £30.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52- Mandy paid 28. But she's in the frame.- Yeah, yeah.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53- Yeah.- Yeah, not far off.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56Their last item is slightly oddball. What do you think it is?
0:47:56 > 0:47:58It looks like it could be a letter opener.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00It looks like it could be some sort of paperweight.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03- But are we struggling here?- I'm struggling to think what it is.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07It doesn't really fit any of those perfectly.
0:48:07 > 0:48:08But it is made of silver, isn't it?
0:48:08 > 0:48:12- It is, yeah.- Made of silver. - Hallmarked silver.- Hallmarked.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15What would your estimate be on this mystery item?
0:48:15 > 0:48:19We put 30 to 50 but, honest answer, almost don't know.
0:48:19 > 0:48:20- Well, Ross, he paid £30 for it. - Did he?
0:48:20 > 0:48:22So I think Ross has done quite well with that.
0:48:22 > 0:48:26But, overall, I'm really nervous about the Monoplane cake stand.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30I think at £120 that could be a serious problem for them,
0:48:30 > 0:48:35in which case they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39Now, Mandy and Ross, you did incredibly well.
0:48:39 > 0:48:43You give Mark £122 of leftover lolly. What did he spend it on?
0:48:43 > 0:48:44I spent it on this, Tim.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47- It's a vehicle mascot. - A vehicle mascot from where?
0:48:47 > 0:48:48From a vehicle.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52It could be a car, it could be a van, but I think he's rather fun.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54But I didn't spend the full amount of your money.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57- OK.- I only spend £55 on him.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00But he's not aggressive. He's rather fun.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02He's chunky and amusing.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05And Art Deco, sort of rather Cubist, abstract-type thing.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08You could mount him and have him as a desk stand or something like that.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10When you think he dates from, though?
0:49:10 > 0:49:14- Well, I think he dates from the sort of 1930s.- Really.- Yeah.- Right, OK.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17- Well, we'll think about that. - Will you?- Yeah. Yes, absolutely.
0:49:17 > 0:49:21That's the spirit. You don't have to decide right now, you decide later,
0:49:21 > 0:49:27but for the audience at home let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's bulldog.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29So, Phil, what do you make of that?
0:49:29 > 0:49:34Well, it looks like a nice chrome car mascot, doesn't it? From the early to mid part of the 20th century.
0:49:34 > 0:49:40But I think the "Mack" on the collar gives it away as being more to do with trucks.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43We've estimated it at £30 to £50 for that reason.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46Well, £55 is what Mark Stacey paid.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49- I can see a collector going for that. - That's encouraging.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Thank you very much. We'll find out,
0:49:52 > 0:49:55cos the proof is in the pudding, at the auction in a moment.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01Five. 50.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04- Now, Karen and Graham, how are you? - Fine, thank you.- Good.
0:50:04 > 0:50:09Are you feeling at all apprehensive at today's performance in the auction?
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- No.- No?- A bit. I've not been to an auction like this before, so, yes.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16- A bit nervous. - You're an auction virgin.- I am, yes.
0:50:16 > 0:50:20Are you? Oh, lordy. So you're feeling a little bit apprehensive.
0:50:20 > 0:50:26Any particular item that you think you might have a problem with today out of your purchases?
0:50:26 > 0:50:31- I'm slightly nervous about the pipes. - Are you?- But, we'll see.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33- Fingers crossed. - Here they come.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36The set of four cased Meerschaum pipes. Who will start me? £20, £30?
0:50:36 > 0:50:4010 to get on. At £10 I'm bid here. At 10.
0:50:40 > 0:50:4212 you like now. At £10 on my right, here. At £10.
0:50:42 > 0:50:4512 can I say now? At £10. 12.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48- 15. At 15.- Yeah, they're making...
0:50:48 > 0:50:5118 if you like, now. At £15. 18.
0:50:51 > 0:50:5320. Two. 25.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55I don't believe it.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57At £25, it's on my right.
0:50:57 > 0:51:02At £25, are you all done, then, at 25?
0:51:02 > 0:51:05OK, Karen, that's £15 up in smoke, all right?
0:51:05 > 0:51:06- Just gone.- Not so bad.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09£25. Minus 15.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12It could have been a lot worse, couldn't it?
0:51:12 > 0:51:13Now, the exciting one.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15Blue and white willow pattern meat dish,
0:51:15 > 0:51:17super quality, lovely condition.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Who'll start me? 50 and it would be cheap.
0:51:19 > 0:51:2130?
0:51:21 > 0:51:23- Come on.- At £20 it is.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26At £20. A super quality piece at £20.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28- Five. 30.- Oh, £2.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30At £30 it still looks cheap. At £30. Five now.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32At £30. Are you all sure at 30?
0:51:32 > 0:51:34£2 profit.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38£30. Is that all? I'm disappointed at that.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Plus two, which means you are minus 13.
0:51:41 > 0:51:45A Victorian mahogany hall stand showing there. Very handy size.
0:51:45 > 0:51:49Who'll start me at 100 and it'd be cheap? 100? 50 to get on, then.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52- £50, only. Oh, dear.- £30.

0:52:32 > 0:52:34What are you going to do about this silver?
0:52:34 > 0:52:37You're minus £3, that could be a winning score.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39It's not a profit, but it could be a winning score.
0:52:39 > 0:52:45Or you've got £140 at risk with the silver bowl.

0:53:37 > 0:53:39- No profit, no loss.- Wiped.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41- It was a good decision in the end.- That is a good wipe.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43- Yes, yes. - That is a seriously good wipe.
0:53:43 > 0:53:48- Well, your overall score is minus £3, right? There's no shame in that. - No.- Actually, it's rather good.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50- Yeah.- Bearing in mind how badly some people can do.
0:53:50 > 0:53:55- Keep it quiet, don't tell the Blues a thing.- No, won't do.- Excellent. - OK.- Thank you.- Well, done.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06How are you feeling, darling?

0:54:08 > 0:54:10Worried about the table. The cake stand.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Your Monoplane cake stand.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14- I'm worried about that.- Why?
0:54:14 > 0:54:18Because if it doesn't have itself a profit, he'll blame me.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20- Will he?- Yes, he will.- Does he get beastly when he blames you?
0:54:20 > 0:54:22- Yes, yes.- Is that true, Ross?
0:54:22 > 0:54:26Well, I'm absolving myself of all responsibility for the cake stand.

0:54:49 > 0:54:52£60 only. Five anywhere now?
0:54:52 > 0:54:54Selling here then at 60.
0:54:54 > 0:54:55- That's cake on face. - There you go.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57- £60.- That's a bit of bad luck.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59- £60, you're minus. - I'm washing my hands of that.
0:54:59 > 0:55:02That's not so good that, is it? Here comes the ink well.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05The Austrian ink well. Where are you going to be for that? £20, £30?
0:55:05 > 0:55:0710 to get on. A fiver. £5 I'm bid there.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24Are you all sure at 25?
0:55:24 > 0:55:26- £25.- Oh, so close!
0:55:26 > 0:55:29Minus £3. It's so close, sweet pea.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32Now, we've got to get £65 profit on your ink...
0:55:32 > 0:55:34On my letter opener.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37- Letter opener.- I'm confident on the letter opener.
0:55:37 > 0:55:40This little novelty silver piece, with the...
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Is it a paperweight or knife, look at that?

0:56:00 > 0:56:02Well, I will sell it at £20.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05Are you all sure at 20?
0:56:05 > 0:56:07- 20 quid! You're having a laugh. - You've made a loss on everything.
0:56:07 > 0:56:08Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:56:08 > 0:56:12- He said that would make a lot of money.- I thought that was going to make money, that.
0:56:12 > 0:56:16So, what are you going to do about the old mascot? It's £55 at risk.
0:56:16 > 0:56:18- Yeah?- Definitely. - You're going to go with it?
0:56:18 > 0:56:20- We're going with it. - She's a punter, your missus.
0:56:20 > 0:56:24- Let's go.- Yeah, I understand why your business is doing so well!
0:56:24 > 0:56:27The bulldog car mascot, or not car mascot.
0:56:27 > 0:56:34It's the truck mascot, isn't it, for Mack trucks? At 50 to get on? £50.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36- £30 to get on, then. 20.- Going well.
0:56:36 > 0:56:41At £20 I'm bid there. At 20. At £20. Five if you like now, at £20 I have.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43At £20 it's got to be cheap. Five.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46- Oh!- Oh!- Oh! 30. At £30 here. Five now.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48At £30. Five.
0:56:48 > 0:56:52- 40. Five. At £45.- Come on, one more.
0:56:52 > 0:56:54- At 45. 50 now.- Come on.
0:56:54 > 0:56:59- Come on.- At £45. I thought it might make a little more. 50.- Yes!- At £50.
0:56:59 > 0:57:03Five if you like, by the door? At £50 are you all done?
0:57:03 > 0:57:07That is minus £5, which means overall you are minus £78.
0:57:07 > 0:57:09- Excellent.- OK? Excellent.
0:57:09 > 0:57:11- Yes. Pleased with that. - What's so excellent...?
0:57:11 > 0:57:14What's so excellent about that?
0:57:22 > 0:57:25- Well, what fun we've had today, haven't we? Have you been chatting? - No. No.- No.
0:57:25 > 0:57:29- I know you're friendly, but you've not talked about the result, have you?- No.
0:57:29 > 0:57:31- I can reveal to both of you that you are of course behind.- Oh!
0:57:31 > 0:57:36But just a question of scale as to how far you are behind.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39One team is pretty well behind, actually.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41That team happens to be the Blues!
0:57:41 > 0:57:46- Oh, yes!- Minus £78 is a whopper.
0:57:46 > 0:57:50- It is.- I wish I could say that you'd made a profit on something,
0:57:50 > 0:57:55but unfortunately, as every single thing is in minus, that is difficult.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58But we have had such fun with you and I hope you have had fun on the programme.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00We've really enjoyed ourselves.
0:58:00 > 0:58:04You've been great sports. But the victors today who managed to win by only losing £3.
0:58:04 > 0:58:05Yes, not bad!
0:58:05 > 0:58:10- You have won by a considerable margin, only minus £3. - It should have been more money.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12They will be... Oh, it should have been more money.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15- Never enough for you, Graham! - No, no.- Never enough.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17Anyway, we're glad you've had fun.
0:58:17 > 0:58:21- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
