0:00:02 > 0:00:04We're thinking big today, bargain hunters.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07We're in London, so why don't we bump up the budget
0:00:07 > 0:00:11and blow the blooming lot, as we go bargain hunting?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hello and welcome.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39We've come to the Ally Pally in North London,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42which is absolutely ginormous.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47And I'm going to be giving each of our teams today £600.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Coming up...
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Come on, where's this girl power gone?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54..mates Elliott and Simon pass the buck...
0:00:54 > 0:00:58I'm happy with it as long as Simon takes all responsibility.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- If it doesn't make a profit, it's your responsibility.- We can blame him.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06..cousins Mya and Tenay pass on the decision-making...
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- I want to go and get it. - Do you want to?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- Yeah.- But you just walked away.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Yeah, I know, but I've thought about it.- Sure?- The sense came back.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16And at the auction, the experts feel the pressure.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Well, Tim, this is what I bought.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Think you stitched us up.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Come on. One more.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29So, if that got you hooked, let's meet the teams.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Great. Boys versus girls. For the Reds, we've got Elliott and Simon.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- And for the Blues, Mya and Tenay. Welcome.- Hello.- Nice to see you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Now you're both in bands, right?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Yes. That's right. - Tell us about that.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48I'm in a band called the Bluebirds. We play bluesy folk kind of rock.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- And Si, yours?- Yeah. I play in a band called Blackbart and we've played for about five years.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- And we play country, rock, blues sort of music really.- Right.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59So you're not in the same band.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- No.- Is there a reason for that?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I don't like Elliott as much as my other friends.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Well, you're going to do terribly well on Bargain Hunt today.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- So, what do you know about antiques, you chaps?- BOTH: Er...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14There you are, you see. That says it all, doesn't it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Do you know anything at all about them?- We're willing to learn.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Very willing.- You know about collectables though, don't you?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Yeah. We like memorabilia - music memorabilia and that sort of stuff.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Nothing wrong with buying that if you can make a profit on it, and we are giving you a monster £600.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Exactly.- I've never spent £600 in one day ever.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Well, there we go. You might not spend all of it.- No. - Yeah. Anyway, very good luck.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38- Thank you. Thanks, Tim.- Lovely.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- Now, girls, what do you think about that? You scared of these boys?- No. Not at all.- We'll take them on.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Tenay, you've got some musical talents, haven't you?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Yes. I can hold a note. - Cos Stars In Their Eyes. Yes?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- When I was a lot younger.- Yeah. How old were you?- Nine.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Nine. Good. Good.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- I was doing backup singing. - Were you? Was it good fun?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Yeah. It was really fun and funny.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Mya, you play the clarinet.- Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- What grade did you get to? - Grade five.- Did you?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08That's pretty good, isn't it? We could have a band on this programme
0:03:08 > 0:03:12if you think about it, cos we've got the boys who are very good.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Perhaps we'll have a bit of a rave-up over at the auction.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Now, Tenay, what are you studying at the moment?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- I'm currently studying health and social care at my sixth form. - And what about you, Mya?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Well, I'm not doing anything at the moment but I want to go back to college and study nursing.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29And hopefully from there, go to university and do midwifery.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Now you know a bit about midwifery already, don't you?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Yeah.- Cos you've got your little stinker at home. Do you want to wave at him?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Hi, Tyrell!- Hi, Tyrell!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- How old's he?- 14 months.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44What do you think you're going to be looking out for with your £600 that I'm about to give you?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Silverware.- Yeah. Silver.- Yeah. Go for silver. That's always safe.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49We always see it goes well, yeah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- And just generally have a poke about, right?- Yeah. Definitely.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I think these boys can see trouble ahead here. Yes? Anyway, now the money moment.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00£600 apiece. Here's your £600. Great wodge of money. Look at that.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Never seen anything like that.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10And very, very, very good luck. So today, we've got youth versus youth.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17'So let's give that youth a bit of experience.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20'The Reds have got Mark Stacey.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24'And the Blues, Charles Hanson.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29'And they're off.'
0:04:31 > 0:04:33You're not serious.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Aryton Senna.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38That might be funny to have in a house, like if I was buying...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- What do you think? - I don't like Formula One.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's priced. Look.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45On the back here, it's priced £1,000.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Too much.- Yeah, well... - It's too much.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52'Hmm. I think the experts have got their work cut out today.'
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Whilst the teams get their bearings, here are the rules.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Each team buys three items, which they sell later at auction
0:04:58 > 0:05:02and the team that makes the most profit wins. Simple.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- You like that, do you?- Yeah.- Tell me about it. Why do you like it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- It's really petite.- Petite?- Yeah.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Like yourself, I suppose.- Yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Well, it's a very nice standard set of silver teaspoons.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- OK.- We can see on the back there'll be hallmarks.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30There's our hallmark there, which is a leopard's head for London.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Yeah.- London 1928. They're quite old. They're very small, aren't they?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39They're probably small little coffee spoons or... Yeah, they're pretty.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- And they're £49.- Yeah.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- I would say at auction, probably worth, what? £35, £40.- Yeah.- Less?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we need to just maybe haggle a bit.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- I prefer these ones that I like. - They're nice, aren't they?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Yeah.- They're nice.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And they're 1907 hallmark from Birmingham.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57These are apostle spoons, you see.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01There's our apostle terminal with its nice spiral casting,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05and of course on the back it says Birmingham, with an anchor, you see. And they're nice.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- And they are £49 as well. - Which ones do you prefer?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I'm not sure. I think they're both nice.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- In a saleroom, each set is worth between £30 and £40 each.- Yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20If the gentleman would sell them for 60, I then think there'll be a small profit.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- But would they be sold together? - With them as one lot. Exactly.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Two sets of silver spoons. Yes. That makes more sense. That's really what I would go for.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- My very best is 65.- Close.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- 64?- I can't do it for less, honestly.- 63?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I've already come down...
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- quite a bit.- Quite a bit. Yeah. - I say we'll think about it.- Yeah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- The gentleman's been very kind. Is that OK with you, sir?- I'll hold them open for you.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Thank you very much.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53'Isn't it lovely seeing Charles with a team younger than him?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55'He almost looks grown up.'
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Yeah. I just found these and they look pretty...- Great, aren't they?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Yeah. They look really interesting. - That's good, El.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- But they'd be great in a sort of loft apartment, wouldn't they?- Yeah. - A sort of open-plan. Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I love it. It's very... It looks a bit like
0:07:11 > 0:07:15the War Of The Worlds as well, you know, the aliens. Shall we ask how much it is?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yeah. I like it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Excuse me.- Best on them is 350.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23They're both Strand lamps.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- So they're 350 each? - They're 350 each.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27And is this the original stand?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28- No.- No.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33The stand is a 1970s display stand.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38So it would have come from a shop-window type of environment.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40But this piece is 1930s original.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43And as I say, you could see that in a loft apartment.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Yeah. Exactly.- Just as a statement piece in the corner. - Yeah. And I think people...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- I love this. - Yeah. It just looks really nice.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Yes. It's great fun, isn't it?- Yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I think it's... You said you wanted something funky.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Yeah.- And different. I mean, you've certainly found two funky, different things -
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- The Ayrton Senna and this.- Yeah.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Which do you like out of the two?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- I prefer this one, personally.- Yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I prefer the Formula One man.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- But everyone likes lights, don't they?- Yeah. They do.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Everybody needs lights. - Yeah. Everyone doesn't need an Ayrton Senna.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16But everyone needs lights, I guess.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18So maybe on that basis, we should... I don't know.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I don't know. Shall we go for it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I think it might be quite a good idea.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Yeah. I really like it but I don't want to be... I would rather you...
0:08:25 > 0:08:30- If it doesn't make a profit, it's your responsibility.- We can blame him. I like your strategy.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Yeah.- I like your strategy. - It's nothing to do with us. - It's completely your fault.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36OK. I think I'm up for that.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Could you possibly do it for 300?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'll take another 20 quid off. 330.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I've got a good feeling about this.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- I mean, we could leave it. - Let's do it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- OK. Leave it?- Let's do it. Yeah.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49OK. Yeah. We'll take that.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55'There you go. All in one fell swoop. Half the budget gone.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56'Just like that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04What did we do before the ubiquitous Biro,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07which was invented in the Second World War?
0:09:07 > 0:09:12What we did was, we wandered around with little things like this.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Propelling pencils.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18These propelling pencils were extremely popular, right back
0:09:18 > 0:09:23to the time when they were invented by Sampson Mordan in the 1820s.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25This one's nice.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Half of it is engraved in inches.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30We've got up to three and a half inches there, look.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34And if I twiddle it over, there's the centimetres and millimetres.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37It's hallmarked Birmingham 1925.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41So it's the sort of thing that a relatively rich person would have owned.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44But it contains another secret -
0:09:44 > 0:09:48cos if I give it a yank, it extends,
0:09:48 > 0:09:53not to six inches but to a cool nine and a quarter inches.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55This retractable shaft
0:09:55 > 0:09:59is also engraved all the way down its length,
0:09:59 > 0:10:04so when you sat at your desk you could measure something even larger.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08What fun is that? What's it worth?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Well, I reckon it's worth about £20 an inch.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14That's extended.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I think it's worth £150 to £180.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21What's it available for?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23This is where it gets interesting -
0:10:23 > 0:10:27and don't let anybody say you can't find bargains in these places.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's available for £45,
0:10:29 > 0:10:34which I promise you, per inch, is not much.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39'So has our Blue team sized up its first buy yet?'
0:10:41 > 0:10:43There's some nice objects here.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Nice tantalus.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47This must be what, 1900, 1910?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Yes.- Do you like it?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Yeah. It's nice.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Like it?- 'Don't think they do.'
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The quality of the cutting is... You rub your hand over that.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Yeah.- Really good quality.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02And then of course, how you lock it -
0:11:02 > 0:11:05you close it like that. Very, very... Oops, careful.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So you close it like that. And you turn the key
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- and then you won't be able to get the stoppers out.- Oh, wow.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13To me, it's worth... There aren't any chips you see,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17on the actual glass in the stoppers. 150, 200.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20So if we could sort of negotiate down to the bottom estimate,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24there might be a chance of a profit, because 150-200 is its market.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- We just like the sound of the profit really.- Yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29We'll ask your lowest price first.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30We're asking your lowest.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- 150.- 150, Mya.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- I'm going to have a quick look again. Stay there.- That's the bottom of the estimate.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Can I just come and look at the condition of it?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Let's turn it round, open it up again.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44There we go. Out it comes.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Take them out.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51There we go. The cut is superb, isn't it? Look at that cut.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56You could have your vodka in here. You could have your rum and coke in here, you know. Eh.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58We check the bases, it's in good condition.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01The only concern is, of course, the stoppers because
0:12:01 > 0:12:05we've got the chipping and nibbling on the actual inside stopper.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- I like it. I think it's good.- Yeah.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Excuse me!
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- Can you do it for us for 130 and we'll take it now?- And we'll take it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16140 is my best, really is.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- 130.- 135?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- 135.- Oh!
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- TIM:- 'Go, Tenay!'
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- TRADER:- 135, I'll take that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- You wouldn't go 130? - He's worse than me!
0:12:27 > 0:12:28I can see it...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It's just the nibbles on the neck which bothered me.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I mean, I like it a lot. Sir, I'm being really cheeky.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Would you take 130?- Go on, then.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41OK, sir, thank you. You're a good sport. 130. It's a deal.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46'There you go. A lesson in negotiating by Master Hanson.'
0:12:52 > 0:12:54It's quite good, isn't it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58I like this and I like the Wall's ice-cream one.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Advertising-ware is quite collectable.- Yeah.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02And it is quite funky, isn't it?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- 68 quid for that.- That's not bad.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I could see that in a little apartment, in a bedroom, for shoving your odd socks in or something.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Exactly. Yeah.- Yeah.- I think I prefer it to the Wall's one, actually.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Yeah. I do.- Cos it's a bit, I like the iconography on it, you know, the sort of female figure.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19And "High Life".
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Is this the beer?- It is. Yeah. Miller's Beer.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23It's American, isn't it?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Yeah. That's right.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Hello. I think we quite like the Miller's box there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32It's priced at 68.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34What's the very best you could do?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- 64.- 64?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- That's not very much.- I know.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- I paid a lot of money for it. - Did you?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Oh, right.- I think we were hoping for a bit more off than that.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Yeah.- Like what? - Can we try 50 for the box?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48No. Definitely not.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- I think that was a very definite no. - No. Definitely.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53You were very positive about that. Do you like it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57I mean, could we tuck it in at 58?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59You're pushing it. No.
0:13:59 > 0:14:0059.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- I just want to get it under that 60 if you can.- Yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- £59.50?- £59.50?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- No. 59.- Go on - 59.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10But do you like it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I'm happy with it as long as Simon takes all responsibility.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Oh, you're doing this, are you? - I'm turning this back.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Are you willing to take that chance, Simon?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Yes. I am, Mark. Yeah. - £59 and we'll shake the lady's hand and say thank you.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Thank you, madam.- Thank you. - OK. Brilliant.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- TIM:- 'So, a box for Simon and an old light for Elliott.'
0:14:32 > 0:14:34What's that, Mya?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36'What next?'
0:14:36 > 0:14:40We've got 25 minutes left so we need to start formulating some plans.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Bring it round to me here. What have we got?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Are you a musician at all? - I play the clarinet.- Do you?
0:14:46 > 0:14:47- I like it.- Tenay?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- It's not antique.- Look at me. Look at me.- It's not antique, is it?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53You said to me you want to bounce along, you want to spend some money.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58- I like it.- There's too much caution here, don't you think? - I'm the safe one.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01'Charles is earning his money today, and our Mark deserves a bonus.'
0:15:01 > 0:15:05It's quite a big thing, isn't it, for £50?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Is it heavy?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Yeah, because we value paintings by the weight.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'm literally going on the size and weight.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Some silver we could try and get for 200.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Do you like silver?- Well...
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Yeah.- I don't know much about it but we could.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Well, it's a metal.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26'It's so educational, this bargain hunting lark, you know.'
0:15:29 > 0:15:33It's the same thing, Art Deco thing, what you was talking about, isn't it?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Yeah.- What have you got over there? - We've found something.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- It's an Art Deco thing. - That's very nice.- It's cute.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41American Art Nouveau.
0:15:41 > 0:15:431930s.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- And they look good, don't they? - Yeah.- They're very stylish.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Chrome boats.- Yeah.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- I would, if I was in your shoes, I would buy the whole ensemble as one lot.- Yeah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- How much is he selling it for? - Yeah. Let's find out.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Excuse me, sir. How much is the whole ensemble, please?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Including the tray?- Yes.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00345.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03And it is American art deco. It is 1930s.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Absolutely definite. - All contemporary.- The tray isn't.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- No.- The tray's French, sorry. The tray is French.- OK.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13But all the boats are American deco.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Personally, I've never come across these before.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17You don't see them very often.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19No. So there's a rarity value there.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Great.- But it's a gamble, girls.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Do you think that rare thing will go good in a...- It's a gamble.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25290?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Yeah, 290.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31It's your day out. OK.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33What do I think?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35It's a big gamble, isn't it? Big gamble at auction.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Cos if it's rare here... - They are rare.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- It's your call. - The flute's less of a gamble.- No.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- The flute's more of a gamble.- Where's this girl power business gone?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Come on. Where's this girl power gone? Look, it's your call.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50The flute's less of a gamble.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53OK. What's your opinion?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I think those. She thinks the flute. So what do you think will do better?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I would gamble with the boats, personally.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02I think that's where there is some more speculation to be made and had.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Would you come down a tad more, sir?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08275. That's the bottom.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Are you sure 270 ain't the bottom? SHE CHUCKLES
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Sorry.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- TIM:- 'Ooh! Go, girl.'
0:17:15 > 0:17:16What do you think, Mya?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- I think let's keep looking.- 'And I say you need to make your mind up.'
0:17:20 > 0:17:22He'll hold the deal as long as he can,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- but it will go if a buyer comes who offers a better price.- Yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I think, let's do it - we've got £600 so why not?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31OK. Well, hold on. You just walked off a second ago.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- I want to go and get it. - Do you want to?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Yeah.- But you just walked away.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Yeah, I know, but I've thought about it.- She changed her mind.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Sure?- The sense came back. - Sense came back. OK.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43'Hurrah. They agree.'
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- Oh, that's quite nice.- Do you like that?- Yeah.- A nest of tables.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- It's very funky, isn't it? - Yeah. That is cool.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Is that the whole thing for 110? - Yeah.- That's amazing.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Is it amazing?- Well, is it? I don't know, Mark!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I think they're really colourful, aren't they?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Just again, if you saw that - quite colourful, quite big, quite nice.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Quite big.- Quite big.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- It's got legs. - I like the... It's got, yeah.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Put stuff on it.- Put stuff on it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- I like it.- Do you want to have a go at negotiating?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20- Yeah.- Hello.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Hello.- Is that the best price you can do on this table?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Maybe knock it down to 80 or so?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I could do 95.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- What do you think? - A round figure would be nice.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- 90 would be good.- Meet us halfway?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Go on, then. I'll do 90. - Thank you very much.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45- TIM:- 'Well, they bought their third item and could furnish a flat.'
0:18:45 > 0:18:48'Now, those girls - are they still seeing eye to eye?'
0:18:48 > 0:18:52It's OK condition but it's not nice.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- It's not nice?- No.- It is nice.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- It's not nice?- I disagree.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Right.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00'That's a no. Keep looking, Mya.'
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Have you found something over there?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07To me, it's a bit old-fashioned, personally.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- It looks like my granny's friend's. - Yeah. What you doing, Grandma?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- What you doing, Grandma, to me? - I don't like you lot.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17'Yeah, meanies. You haven't got time to pick on poor Mya.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19'You've only got minutes left.'
0:19:19 > 0:19:21What about the spoons? What do you think about the spoons?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23'Good idea, girlfriend.'
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Buy the two for 60 quid. - Buy the two of them?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- We're back.- Hello there.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- We're back again.- We're back.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33You wouldn't do 62?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36We've got 62. We'll take it now.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37- Take it now, cash, 62.- All right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Thank you.- That's girl power, isn't it, for you? There we go. Dear me. - Two such lovely smiles.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- How can I say no?- That's a deal. - That's done. You've done it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- You've twisted my arm. - You've done it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- TIM:- 'Yep. You've sure done it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56'And any leftover loot gets given to our experts to sniff out a bonus buy.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59'But before all that, let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04'First up, Elliott took a shine to the £330 Strand lamp and stand.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09'Next, Simon hopes to be drinking in the glory
0:20:09 > 0:20:12'after going for the £59 beer box.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16'And finally, they found not one, but a whole nest,
0:20:16 > 0:20:22'of 1970s tables, bringing their total spend to £479.'
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Just look at you lads.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I just can't decide which one's the youngest.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Now, have you had a good time? - We've got £121 left over.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Well, that's a decent amount, isn't it? I'll have the £121 left over.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Thank you very much. £121. Right. That's yours, sir.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Thank you, Tim.- What are you going to spend all this money on? - An antique.- Are you?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Deliberately, something as old as you can possibly can find.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Absolutely. I'm going to try and find an antique to show
0:20:48 > 0:20:51these kids that old things can be more valuable.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Well, make sure you don't fall up on that one.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59For us though, right now, why don't we check out what the Blue girls have bought?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02'Mya and Tenay took Charles's advice
0:21:02 > 0:21:06'on the Victorian decanter set coming in at £130.'
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Sense came back.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09'After a bit of indecision,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13'they plumped for the £275 chrome sailing ornaments.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17'And finally, they came full circle,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21'buying two sets of silver teaspoons for 62 smackers.'
0:21:21 > 0:21:23How was your shopping, darling?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- It was good.- Was it? How much did you spend in the end?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- 467.- 467?- Yeah.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33So you're going to give me £133.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Yeah.- Can you get that out of the old tight jeans?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Going to be an experiment, isn't it?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- There we go, look.- No more in there.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- No more. You sure?- Yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Are you going to go and blow the lot, Charles?- Oh, I don't know, Tim.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I'll have a good look.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Well, you look after yourselves, girls,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53because we're about to shove off to Camden Town.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I'm in Camden in north London,
0:22:03 > 0:22:08home of the recently reopened Jewish museum and believe you me,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12this place packs a punch in more ways than one.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25It's extraordinary the range and breadth of exhibits in this museum.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29But probably the prize exhibit,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32despite its damaged condition, is this -
0:22:32 > 0:22:34a pearlware jug,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37which, on the face of it, looks pretty ordinary.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41It was made by the Aynsley factory in Stoke on Trent.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45The top band is hand painted but if you look at this scene underneath,
0:22:45 > 0:22:52this is transfer printed and merely coloured up in part by hand.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57The interest to the museum is in this pugilists' fight.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Here we've got a boxing match between a man called Humphries
0:23:01 > 0:23:05and a man called Daniel Mendoza, a Jew.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Daniel Mendoza was an extraordinary athlete
0:23:08 > 0:23:11and incredibly successful as a fighter,
0:23:11 > 0:23:16becoming English heavyweight champion from 1792 to 1795.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21What was extraordinary about him was that he was so underweight.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Technically, he was a middleweight,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26but he fought as a heavyweight and survived
0:23:26 > 0:23:29because he came up with a new form of boxing
0:23:29 > 0:23:33called scientific boxing, where he developed a form of defence.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Previously, boxers had simply slugged it out,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39bare fist to bare fist.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43He would simply dance around, avoiding punches.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Not only were these fighting bouts recorded on ceramic,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50but you can see behind the coloured print,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53which shows Mendoza at his best.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58The point is that prize fighting in that period was incredibly popular.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01From the very leaders of society -
0:24:01 > 0:24:05the prime minister and so forth would attend boxing matches.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09And as a result, these things have a special place
0:24:09 > 0:24:11in the Jewish Museum today.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13The big question is, of course,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17which of our teams are going to deliver the knockout blow over at the auction?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Ker-pow!
0:24:23 > 0:24:27'Their arena for the final round is West London -
0:24:27 > 0:24:32'the Chiswick Auction Rooms. It's also where our experts reveal their bonus buys.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36'In the Red corner, it's Mark Stacey.'
0:24:36 > 0:24:41Now, Elliott and Simon, you spent £479, which is pretty good.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43£121 went to Mark.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Did you blow the lot, Mark?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Well, Tim, this is what I bought.
0:24:47 > 0:24:53- Oh, lordy.- It's a sliding book trough, so you can have this on your little library shelves.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I particularly like the little Egyptian scenes here.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58It's Victorian, of course.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It's not in the best of conditions.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Right.- I was left with quite a lot of money, which I'm not used to.- Yes.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06And I thought... I just...
0:25:06 > 0:25:10At the time, I thought, "This is bound to make a profit."
0:25:10 > 0:25:13It was £25, which is not too bad, actually.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17You're quite interested in the science of these things, aren't you?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- Yeah.- Aren't you, Simon? Yes.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- You like that.- I like things. Yeah. - Yeah. That's rather good, isn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Yeah. You could use it as a little small table as well.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- You could. Yeah. Thank you for that. - Lovely.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29And what do you think, Elliott?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I don't really like it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Well, get away!
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- I mean, don't hide your feelings, will you?- No. Quite.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I mean, don't worry about how Mark feels about it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I think he's stitched us up.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44No, Mark. Thanks very much.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Yeah. Thanks, Mark. OK.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Well, on that happy note, you don't have to pick it right now.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53You might decide to choose...it after the sale of your first two items
0:25:53 > 0:25:56but for the viewers at home, and the viewers at home only,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's little slide.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04One pretty standard late Victorian book slide.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Not too exciting. Won't set the world alight.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Nice...distinctive masks on it -
0:26:11 > 0:26:15best thing I'd say about it - but not very valuable. £40-£60.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- £40-£60.- £40-£60 is a fair estimate for it
0:26:17 > 0:26:19and hopefully we can give it a bit of oomph.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well, he'll be delighted cos he paid £25 for it,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25so that's not too bad. Great as a bonus buy. Lovely.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28OK. Now, Elliott and Simon -
0:26:28 > 0:26:32they're young, they're enthusiastic and not surprisingly,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35they've gone with some pretty extraordinary objects, including this lamp.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I think it's a copy. I think the whole thing's a copy.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It's got some Philips screws in it.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44I've been all over it and I'm very dubious about the age of this.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47The stand's obviously new but the top, I think, is new as well.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Oh, lordy.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51For decorative purposes, 80-120.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53£330 paid.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Next. They're keen on beer so they bought the Miller's beer box.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02I suppose that goes into a trendy flat, does it?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Yeah. I mean, it's OK, but it's not valuable, is it?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07It's £20 or £30 worth.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08£59 paid.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12That's another one third of its potential purchase price
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- maybe about to be achieved. - Another kicking.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Another kicking. Yes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20And the third kicking maybe, or not, is this nest of tables.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Tile-topped tables.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Originally flat-pack -
0:27:23 > 0:27:27unscrew-type legs and whatnot - but we've got three of them just like this, Tom.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Something to warm the cockles of your heart.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Well, I think they're original '70s and they have got a look to them
0:27:33 > 0:27:36and people who buy the sort of '70s look will buy those
0:27:36 > 0:27:38and they'll make £50 or £80.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Brilliant. £90 paid. Lovely. That's it for the Reds.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Now for the Blues, Mya and Tenay.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46They're not the most experienced antiques buyers.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48They've been led around with their £600.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51And the first item they've come up with is the tantalus.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Are they as good a seller as they used to be?
0:27:54 > 0:27:55No. They're not. Ten years ago,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58that was £200 or £300. And it's not a bad quality one.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Nice silver-plated top. The bottles are intact, which makes a change.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05They're usually damaged, so that will help them.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07But even so, £60, £80.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09£130 paid, so they may be lucky there.
0:28:09 > 0:28:15Next is this centrepiece. The late Deco chromium-plated centrepiece.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I think the quality of the thing
0:28:17 > 0:28:21takes me to one shop and one shop only on the high street and that's Woolworths.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25I suppose Clarice Cliff started in Woolworths but I wouldn't put it round the '30s.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26I think it's '50s, '60s.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- '50s. '60s. Fair enough. - And the quality is not that good.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34What's it worth? It's going to be hard to value as well. £30, £40.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Great. £275 spent.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41£275. I mean...
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- That's got no chance. - That's got no chance.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Lovely. What about the two sets of silver spoons?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Quite easy. £60 or £80 for the two sets. £50-£80, that sort of money.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- Yeah.- Silver.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Not that exciting.- £62 paid. So they paid about the same.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58About that money.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02You know, when you've got a big hole sitting in the middle of your purchases,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04like that chromium-plated centrepiece, I mean,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06that is a serious difference.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10£30-£40 to £275.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13They're going to need their bonus buy so let's have a look at it.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Now, Mya and Tenay,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- you spent £467.- Yes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22You gave the lovely Charles £133 to go and find you a bonus buy. What did you find?
0:29:22 > 0:29:26It was really, really hard but I spent every last pound.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29So £133 for this beauty.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Wow.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34It's a magnificent wrist watch.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36OK. It's a ladies' Rolex.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41- Wow.- Nine-carat, gold-backed, precision-movement, from 1958.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44It's iconic, it's in good condition,
0:29:44 > 0:29:46with Arabic numerals.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- And I like it.- I think the girls are stunned. What do you think? Have a look.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Isn't that small? So tiny.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I always think they look so much nicer when they're on.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56Don't you think?
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Let's just try and see whether that looks really pretty or not.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Because if these things look just fab on you,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05they're going to look fab on somebody else.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Oh, look at that. Just look at that.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Do you think that looks nice? Tenay? - No.- No.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- I think it's not my style but it's nice.- How much did you pay again?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- 133.- 133.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18And I really, really hope it will make...
0:30:18 > 0:30:21£150, £170.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25And I'm confident with this watch.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Happy?- Yeah. I'm happy.- Great.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- You don't have to decide right now. You decide later.- Yeah.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles's little watch.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38This is a really ducky little thing, isn't it?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41It's got a good name and it's gold case
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- so it's a "get out of jail free" card, isn't it?- Yes.- As a bonus buy.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48But pity it's not a gents' watch. They always do very well.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52But a ladies' gold watch, being Rolex as well, it'll make 120, 180, all day long.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53Brilliant. £133 paid.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- Chances.- So as a bonus buy, that's a good idea, isn't it?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58It just depends on whether the girls go with it.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- Anyway, good luck on the rostrum, Tom.- Thank you.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Our future is in your hands.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Does this box remind you of anything?
0:31:14 > 0:31:18If I was standing outside number 11 Downing Street
0:31:18 > 0:31:22and was beaming at you like a Cheshire cat,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26I could be mistaken for the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30en route to Parliament to deliver his budget speech.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34In fact, all those government boxes are covered in leather -
0:31:34 > 0:31:39usually red leather - and they're all of substantial construction.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44On the end of this piece of picture-hanging chain is a wee key,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46cos you wouldn't want to lose this key.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Insert it into the lock and yeah, you can open it like that, look.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54And it reveals a gorgeous leather-lined interior.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56This has hardly been touched inside,
0:31:56 > 0:32:00even though it's a bit battered about on the outside.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04And if we open it up, it's full of intriguing compartments, like that.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07That little pouch would contain papers, look.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10The interior is lined in mahogany.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14On the other side, compartments for pens and writing instruments.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Inside this flap
0:32:17 > 0:32:22is contained some information about the history of this box.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27We've got a plaque here that describes the Solemn Covenant,
0:32:27 > 0:32:33the covenant that was sworn by all loyal Ulstermen in 1912.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36The box itself was presented to
0:32:36 > 0:32:40the Duke of Abercorn in May 1928
0:32:40 > 0:32:45and he was the governor of the newly formed province of Northern Ireland.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Later that year, the box was passed on yet again,
0:32:49 > 0:32:53to Lieutenant Commander Oscar Henderson.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Quite exactly what happened to this box
0:32:55 > 0:33:00after it finished up with Commander Henderson, I do not know.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02But on the outside,
0:33:02 > 0:33:06we've got a little brass plaque, which is inscribed with a crest,
0:33:06 > 0:33:11and that crest relates to the Order of St Patrick,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14which is an ancient order relating to the government of Ireland
0:33:14 > 0:33:17that dates back to the end of the 18th Century.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20This box, therefore,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24has been steeped in the history of Ireland,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26the formation of the province
0:33:26 > 0:33:31and of course, the declaration of the free state.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Historically important.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35What's going to be interesting is the auction -
0:33:35 > 0:33:36what is it going to bring?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40The estimate is £300-£500.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44250. 260. 270. 280.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46290. 300.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- Guys, how are you feeling?- Good. - Pretty confident.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Pretty confident. Yeah?- Yeah.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Good. Mark, you didn't have so much to do with this shop, did you?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Cos these boys were largely on their own.- They were very good, Tim.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02They knew what they liked and I liked some of the things.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04I liked the nest of tables.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I think they're quite funky. I could live with those.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12£90 you paid for those. It's this ruddy lamp that is going to sink you or swim you
0:34:12 > 0:34:15and it's the first lot and it's coming up right now.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Chrome and aluminium adjustable set light on castors.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21£50 for it?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23£50 for it?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25£50. 55. 60. Five. 70.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Five. 80. Five. 90.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Five. 100. 110.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32120. 130.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34It's like Only Fools And Horses.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Are we there at 130? You out? At 130.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Last chance. Going at 130. Are we done? 130.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42£130 just like that, and you are £200 down the lavatory.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- And it could have been worse. - It could have been.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Not quite sure how. - OK. The beer box.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Miller's brewery pine beer crate,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53with a stencil decoration. £20 for it. £10 for it.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Good Lord!- It's looking just like a wooden box now.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59£5 for it? They sell the beer for about a fiver somewhere.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03A bid of five. Take it at £5. Bid in at £5. At £5. All done?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- The wooden box, no-one cares. - £5. £5.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07All done? At £5. All done and going at £5.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- Sorry, guys. £5.- That is minus £54.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Mark, why couldn't you step in and help us more?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Well, cos it's more fun not to.
0:35:15 > 0:35:1954A now. The nest of three '70s tile-topped tables.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- See, I think those look really stylish.- Yeah. Me too.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23It's a good nest.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26£50, please. £50. Thank you.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Bid at £50. £50. Take 55. £50.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Take five. £50. Are we done at £50?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Take 55. 60. Five.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38£60. Take five. £60. Are you all done at £60 and going?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Last chance £60. £60.- Oh, £60.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43It's minus 30.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46I make that minus £284.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Good heavens above. - That's not bad.- Minus 284.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52What about this book shelf jobbie? What do you think about that?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Yes. We'll go for it. Yeah. - Definitely. Go for it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56All right. We're going for it.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59The decision's made. We're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01158A now.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04158A. Victorian book slide.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- £30. Start me at £30. £20. - Oh, come on.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- £20. It's got to make £20. £10 for it.- Get on with it.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1310. £10. 12. Bid at 12. 15.
0:36:13 > 0:36:1515. 18.

0:36:17 > 0:36:1918. New bidder. 20?
0:36:19 > 0:36:24- Come on. That's it. - 20. 22. Do you want 22 over there?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26At £20. At £20. 22. At £20.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28At £20. At £20 sold.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Oh, how silly!- It's £20.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I have to tell you, his estimate was 40 to 60.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36He's just sold it for 20, which is minus £5.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39You are £289 down.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42But that could be a winning score.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46In today's market, here, it could be a winning score so don't say a thing to the Blues.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57310. Your last chance at 310.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58310, all done.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Next up is that dispatch case.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Do you fancy being Chancellor of the Exchequer?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Well, the estimate is £300-£500. Here it comes.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Early 20th Century leather-clad dispatch case, number 26.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13£200 for it. Thank you. Bid at £200.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16210 there. 220. 230. 240.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32No. At 420. Bid at 420. 430. 440.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34450. 460. 470.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36480. 490. 500.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40520. 540. 560.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42540. Bid at 540. Going at 540.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Are we done? Last chance and going.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46540 smackers.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Well, there's a bit of Irish history for you.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53370 bid, right in the corner.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58So, girls, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- No.- You haven't been talking to those Reds?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- No.- No. Just how excited are you?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Really excited.- Are you?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Yeah.- Are you a bit scared? - A little bit. Yeah.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10A little bit scared. It's not surprising, is it?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12There's a room packed full of people here
0:38:12 > 0:38:15and who knows what your things are going to bring in?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17All depends on how the bidding goes.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18First up is the tantalus
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- and doesn't it look good up there, Charles?- Looks great, Tim.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26A Victorian oak and silver-plated mounted two-bowl tantalus. And £50.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Thank you. Bid at £50. 55. 55.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Are you all done? Selling for £90. And going. All out £90. And gone?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Oh, dear me.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55£90 equals minus 40.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Anyway, chromium-plated sailing ornament on a circular stand.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02A circular chrome-mirrored table stand
0:39:02 > 0:39:04with five various-sized chromed sailing boats.
