0:00:04 > 0:00:08Here's a bit of a brainteaser for you to get the grey matter going.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11What do you do if you've got a spare hour? You've got £300
0:00:11 > 0:00:15in your back pocket, and you're in a fair crammed with goodies!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Well, you go bargain-hunting, of course! Hah!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Boy, have our teams got a challenge on their hands today!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51The Oswestry Showground is packed with hundreds of stalls.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Our teams will have to get their skates on.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Why don't you relax and get comfortable?
0:00:58 > 0:01:01The Red Team are on a mission.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We've got to win this one, Phil.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07And the Blue Team will do anything for a bargain.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11These two girls are going to stare deep into your soul.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- I'll make you the best offer you've ever had.- Ooh!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Yes!- Yes! - THEY CHATTER
0:01:17 > 0:01:21'But who will be the winners and the losers at today's auction?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24'Let's meet our contestants.'
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Today we have a team of friends for the Reds, Nick and Rob.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33And for the Blues we've got aunt and niece Helen and Laura. Hi, guys.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Hello!- Hi, Tim. - Lovely to see you all.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- So, Rob, you met in Nick's pub, yeah?- Indeed we did,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- about 18 months ago. - You obviously had a good time.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Well, yeah. He keeps good real ale. - Is that what it is? - That's the secret.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- You watch Bargain Hunt in the pub? - I do, because I work night shift.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52I pop in for a pint when Bargain Hunt's on, and Nick and I watch it,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- and we got quite good at saying, "They paid too much for that."- Yes.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Or, "That'll make a few bob." - It's very easy
0:01:59 > 0:02:03to be an armchair critic, though, isn't it, as we'll discover today.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Now, Nick, you're in the pub trade. What's it about this real ale?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10It's difficult stuff to keep well, and it's one of the few things
0:02:10 > 0:02:14the supermarkets can't provide, cask-conditioned real ale.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Unfortunately the pub industry is in decline.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- It's one sector of the pub industry which is seeing a resurgence.- Yes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23People like it. It's organic, it's natural,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and we're proud of the stuff that we keep.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So what are your team tactics going to be today, lads?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32We're going to be looking for quality. That seems to do well.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Maybe a bit of furniture. - Spend the money. That's the point.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- I think so. - Some really stonking stuff, yeah?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Yeah.- Smashing job. Lovely team. Now, girls,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- are you quaking in your boots? - No.- No!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- You're both in the pub industry too. - Yeah. We are.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- You're not rival pubs by any chance? - More or less.- We might be!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Are you? - We're about two miles apart.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Really?- Yeah.- This is going to be the war of the pubs!
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I love it! So, what's your favourite aspect of working in a pub?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- It's the banter with the customers. - Is it?- Oh, yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Definitely.- We've got a high wall, and when they're sat in the garden
0:03:06 > 0:03:10I'll pour water over them. They think it's the dog having a wee.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- HE LAUGHS - I love the banter.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I like having a good dance behind the bar when the music channels are on.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Oh, yeah? So, what are your team tactics today?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23To spend as little as possible and make a big profit.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Is that it? - Yeah.- Haggle, haggle, haggle.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- THEY LAUGH - Well, very, very, very good luck.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Now, the dough-re-mi. Here we go, look. There's your £300.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Thank you.- Thank you very much. - You know the rules.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Your experts await. Off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Do you know what I feel like? A drink!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48And I'm not alone. Our rival pub teams are warming up.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Cheers, Phil.- Cheers.- Cheers, Phil.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Will Philip Serrell be toasting victory with the Reds...
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Cheers.- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00..or could David Harper be celebrating with the Blues?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Right! The clock has started.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- So, girls, are we nervous? - A little bit.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- Are we excited?- Very!
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Got a plan?- Um, yeah. I think quality, quality, quality.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Are we going to go blow some money? - Oh, yes.- Come on, then. One hour!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22A bit of pub pride in this, if the opposition's another local.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- We've got to win this one, Phil. - I just saw the price tag.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- I nearly fell over!- Don't touch it if it's too expensive to break!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32THEY LAUGH
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Right. Come on, then.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Are you feeling a bit blinded by it all?- I am, actually.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Yeah! It does get that way. - It's not as easy as it looks!
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Especially when the clock is ticking. - I know.- I was looking at that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Yeah, let's have a look at that. What on earth is it, do we think?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Um, it's a little bit small for a bread bin,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- unless it's for, like, a milk roll. - THEY LAUGH
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It could be for biscuits, I suppose. Is it a biscuit barrel?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- It's got a padlock.- Yes, it has.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14So it's probably for keeping savings in or special things in kitchen.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Yes, it could be, couldn't it?- Yeah. - So you could keep biscuits in there.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23You could keep tea in there. Now, it looks Continental to me,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- and so do you. Did it come from the Continent?- No.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28THEY LAUGH
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- I bought it in Swansea. - Is Swansea on the Continent?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You might need a passport to get there.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Well, I think I was right. It may have been bought in Swansea,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43but if you look at the base, we've got some markings. Just numbers,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47reference numbers, and it looks very '60s, '50s, even.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- It's a bit funky and retro. What sort of money is it?- 20.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- 20. It's a bit wacky, isn't it? - It is a bit wacky.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I think it's wacky. I was drawn to it when I saw it.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- It's quite groovy, isn't it? - It is groovy.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Could it be drastically cheaper?- £18.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- 18.- 15.- Oh, she's in already.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- SHE LAUGHS - 15 great British pounds.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Go on!- Go on. Yes.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18You've done a deal. Well done. Thank you very much. 15 quid.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I think that's the best 15 quid anybody could ever spend.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25There's nothing wrong in that at all. A nice quick purchase,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- within about three minutes. I love you two!- Get in, Hel!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Come on.- Let's go. - We could do really well.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Get in, indeed! A cracking start.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Reds, are you hot on their heels? Because I am.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45This is quite late because of these turnings,
0:06:45 > 0:06:49so it's sort of 1900, 1890, 1900-ish.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52If it was early, they'd have actual turnings there.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56And these things used to be... I dunno, £300, £400, £500.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00They've completely fallen out of bed. I don't know how much that is now.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02130. I imagine we'd do a bit better than that.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05If you wanted to buy that and make a profit on it,
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- it's got to be... An auction estimate on that today is £60 to £90.- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Excuse me. What about the whatnot? What's the best we can do on it?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Best price I can do for 60.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- She's probably not dear at that. - OK. Thank you very much.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24What do you mean, "thank you very much"? You haven't started yet.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Have you bought anything yet? - We're sort of...- Meandering?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- We're cogitating.- Cogitating? - Isn't that cheap at 60 quid?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- £60?- Yeah. - Is that per shelf, or what?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40£60... It doesn't seem expensive to me.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- No, it doesn't. - Not that I'm saying anything!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I'm not allowed to express an opinion.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I'm only muttering a few thoughts while I wander my way out of here.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Bye, lads!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- At 60 quid, I think that's cheap. - Shall we get it, then?- Dive in.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- We'll have that. - We'll take that. Thanks very much.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- Yeah?- Yes. - Right. Onwards and upwards, chaps.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Thank you, Mr Wonnacott, for that little bit of help there.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Just a little nudge. Has it nudged him over the cliff, or are we all right? I think we are.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11'Are you questioning my judgement there, Philip?'
0:08:18 > 0:08:23It's a mass-produced thing, probably from the '70s, looking at it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26But it's jazzy, isn't it? Sort of thing you'd have in your bathroom.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Yeah.- With bubbly things in.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Or you could fill it with... fantastic, probably cheap perfume.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- So we smell high-class! - Or mix them all together.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39That's what I do, yeah. Have you noticed?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46How lovely is this?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Just chilling out on a grassy bank in the sunshine.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Those teams are off bustling about, doing what they must do,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58and this is the moment when I do what I do,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00which is to find something to chat to you about.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04And today I've found three beautiful objects.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Are these bells really beautiful?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Well, the funny thing is
0:09:09 > 0:09:13that since the worldwide increase in metal prices,
0:09:13 > 0:09:18if you were to take these three bells and go and weigh them,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21they're worth about £500 in scrap.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Because the very best bells are cast in bronze,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28which is exactly what these things are.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31And if they're hung in a belfry for long enough,
0:09:31 > 0:09:36they get this gorgeous dark green, rather dusty patination.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Now, I guess the oldest bell of this trio is this fellow.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44You can see that it's got that dark-green colour,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47but on the outer surface, there's some flaky grey paint.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Most of the grey paint has come off now,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54but look at the green that exists underneath the grey paint.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58This bell had been knocking around for 100 or 200 years
0:09:58 > 0:10:01before the grey paint was put on a hundred years ago,
0:10:01 > 0:10:06so it's potentially 17th or 18th century.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09That is the oldest bell of the three.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Now, this fella is a standard bell that you'd find in a belfry
0:10:14 > 0:10:17with about eight other fellow bells.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I guess that bell is probably early 19th century.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25But this big fella in the middle I think has the most practical purpose
0:10:25 > 0:10:29for anybody today. If you imagine this thing set up on its frame -
0:10:29 > 0:10:34there are the two ferrules perfectly balanced and placed like this -
0:10:34 > 0:10:36it would violently swing the bell like this,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40and you get this lovely chiming noise.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Oh, my Lord! I feel a bit like Quasimodo here.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Anyway, three charming examples.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51We know there's £500 worth of bronze,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54were you to want to go and melt them down.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I suspect individually
0:10:56 > 0:11:00each of these bells is worth about £500.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02So, the asking price -
0:11:02 > 0:11:06these could be yours for £650. Does that ring your bell or what?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's a cocktail shaker,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16and it's electroplated nickel on silver.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20What I love about this one is just the way it's engraved.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- How old would you put it? - Um, I would think it's...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26first half of the 20th century, isn't it?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Might be 1930s.- What do you reckon?
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- I don't know. How much is it? - 35 quid, the ticket price is.- 35?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- You've got the action, haven't you? - Yeah, I'm there.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Look at him.- I'm Tom Cruise.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Tom Cruise? Very impressive. So, what's the verdict?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- I think it's a nice thing. - Yeah. Maybe come back to it.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Maybe come back, possibly. - Right. Come on, then.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Come on, girls. - I don't know a lot about cars.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Now we're talking. It's a 1965 or 1966, ladies. It's a Super Minx,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- the right colour, with a red trim, manual gearbox...- Look at that!
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Shall we go for a spin, David? - Oh, I love it! Don't you love it?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- I've now got three Super Minxes. One, two, three.- Get in!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19David, you old charmer!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- You look the part. He does look the part.- Hello, hello, hello!
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- No. I think it's more goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.- Do you?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Nick! You should be nicked for that gag.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- So you know exactly what it is, don't you?- Yeah.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- It's a desktop thing for, like, ink and your pens.- Yes.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Quills!- Your quills. Exactly.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Date-wise, what sort of date would you put on that?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Um, um, er... - Don't look at the ticket!
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Um...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I don't know. Maybe '30s or something?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- No. Earlier.- Earlier?- Oh, yeah. 1880.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Look at the dovetail joins. - Oh, yeah.- See how fine they are?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Real high-quality thing, but something that was mass produced,
0:13:10 > 0:13:14because anybody who was a clerk, or you were running a business,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18or keeping paperwork at home, you would need something like this.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Er, £65. - I do like it, but not for 65.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26No. It might make, um... What's the trade on this one?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- What have we got on it? - 65 on there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- I'll do it for 50 and that's it. - Is that the trade price, yeah?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I think it might do that in auction,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40but I don't think there's going to be any profit in it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- I'll make you the best offer you've ever had.- Ooh!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- And this is on camera? - THEY LAUGH
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- £30. - No, I couldn't do it. I'm sorry.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52You've got to be willing to go lower than 50.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- 49.99.- 40? 40?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- 49.- Come on. 40 English pounds.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03No. Really rock bottom would be 45. I could not go below that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07All right. Go on. Tell him, then! Tell him... You've won!
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- 45.- How can you? - But the smile's gone.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Smile's gone, look. Well, I'll live with that, anyway.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19You've got a nice piece, and I'll think of you when it's on television.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22THEY LAUGH Thank you very much. Well done.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Do you like that?- I think it's interesting, Phil, yeah.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34It's an old sort of, er, blotter.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38And you can see here, stationery would have gone in there,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41various letters that you've replied to or got to reply to.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45This is like a Tunbridge Ware band around there,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and Tunbridge Ware is lots of little pieces of wood,
0:14:47 > 0:14:52different colours, glued together then sliced off and laid on there to form a pattern.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56But then you've got these stylised dolphins, this figure here.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I think it's a smart thing.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02It's not Tunbridge Ware. Any idea where it's from?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Er, no. You say it's not Tunbridge Ware?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08No, no, no. To give us a clue, look...
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Ah! It'll be Sorrento, then.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Sorrento were famous for producing these inlaid wooden wares,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16little trays... They were done for the tourist market.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21But this is like a Rolls Royce of Sorrento Ware, really.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I think it's a smart thing. If that came into auction,
0:15:24 > 0:15:28you could put 60 to 90, 80 to £120 on it. Do you like it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I think you've got the collectors of Tunbridge Ware,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34and, as you say, it's a nice thing and it's usable.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Well, I think we need to get a price on it, maybe.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- What's the best price on this? - I can do it for a one-er.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- A one-er? There's 120 on it. - That's the death.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Couldn't do it for 90?- No.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- What do you think, Phil? - It's up to you guys.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- It's really up to you guys. - I think it's a nice thing.- Yeah?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- I'd say so. Yeah. We'll take it. - Thank you very much.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00- Done.- It's a deal.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03£100 spent, but will it soak up a profit?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05We'll see.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16- It could be almost anything you want it to be, couldn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- What's on the books here? Sorry, I didn't see.- 40.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- 40. Shall I tell you what I think it is?- Yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Well, on the inside here is enamel,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29almost a cloisonné, so I think it's a Chinese piece.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32And this, I think, is cinnabar lacquer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Now, cinnabar lacquer is a sap from a tree,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39a lacquer from a tree, and it's put on in layers.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It can take many months to build up the right layers.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Then, when you've got a box with a few millimetres of lacquer,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50then the craftsman - this is mind-boggling -
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- will hand-cut and chisel out the decoration.- Oh, my God.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It's absolutely bonkers. It's a wonderful thing.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- That is definitely hand carved. - Oh, my gosh!
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I'm unsure of its age, and this is the thing with Chinese items.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- It's difficult...- Yeah.- ..to tell. I don't think it's ancient,
0:17:06 > 0:17:11- but it could be early 20th century. What would be the trade on this? Sorry to interrupt.- 35.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- 35? Is that the absolute death? - Yeah.- Really?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Um, OK. Thanks for that. Thanks.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I want you to tell me if you like it.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I think, if it is a cinnabar lacquer, which I'm quite sure,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24it's an absolute bargain, 35 quid.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Personally I think you've got to have it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Yeah.- Yeah.- That should be a guaranteed profit-maker.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- If it doesn't, then, you know - - On your head be it,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38and you'll have to buy us the car and take us on a road trip.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- You have to buy us a Super Minx! - I will come up with loads of excuses.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Don't worry. I will be blaming anybody but myself.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Go and try and work a bit of magic. Every pound counts. Go on.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54It certainly does, David. Don't you agree, boys?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Do you like the Vesta case? - I do, but it's too much money.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- I think it's a stonking thing. - Let me just see what I can do.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- All right.- Yeah. - When I tell you, that will be...
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- OK.- If I can do it and make a turnover, I'll do it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Of course.- Absolutely. - I think that's lovely.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Let's just have a chat, guys. Where has he gone?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I talked to the wrong one then.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- TIM LAUGHS - Keep it together, Phil!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22What you got there, Rob?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27It's all go. How's the bargaining going, girls?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Would you take £20? - No, I wouldn't.- Please?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35That was an interesting question. Try another one.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Higher. Higher.- Lower!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Higher! - THEY LAUGH
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- All right. A maximum of 25. - No. 28.
0:18:43 > 0:18:4428?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- 28. Come on.- Give him some money.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50THEY LAUGH Well done. Thanks very much.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Thank you. - It's worth £33,000, that.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55THEY LAUGH
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Not a bad buy!
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Thank you very much. That's brilliant.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- And you two are done.- Great!
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Boys, you need to regroup and close the deal fast.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12We have lost him. Do you like it?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I think it's lovely. I think it's unusual, yeah.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20I'll get you a price on it. I'll do it for 60 quid, then you've a chance.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I think that's a really nice thing. As Vesta cases go,
0:19:23 > 0:19:28you'll struggle to find a better one, because this is meant to look like a miniature cigar case,
0:19:28 > 0:19:33and then your Vestas are in here. So it's the Rolls Royce of Vesta cases.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- So... Where have you been? - I was looking at something up there.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- What?- A little silver toast rack. - How much is it?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- It's £55.- So you got a little silver toast rack for £55...
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Or this one for 60. - That's 60 quid. Do you like that?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- I do like it, yeah. - I think that's a nice thing.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I think that's lovely. You'll find 101 toast racks all over the world.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- I think that's cute. You've got five minutes left.- It's unusual.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- You've got five minutes left. - How much is it?- It's 60 quid.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Down from 89 quid.- It's a deal.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- It's a deal?- Yes. - Five minutes. Stop the clock.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Yeah, I think we'll take that. Thanks very much.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Right! No more haggling. Time's up.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26But before we find out how much leftover lolly our experts have
0:20:26 > 0:20:29for their bonus buys, let's remind ourselves what the Reds have got.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31We've got to win this one.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35They all agreed the walnut whatnot was a bargain at £60.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Then Philip found a Sorrento Ware desk blotter,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44and he set them on fire with his silver Vesta case.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- So how was it? Was it good, Rob? - It was good. It was very good, yes.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Up to expectations, Nicholas? - Yes, very good.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54You spent £220, I'm told.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- That means you've got £80 of leftover lolly somewhere.- £80.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01£80. There you go, then. That's a good round for you, isn't it?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Off down the pub.- Good luck, chaps.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09THEY LAUGH
0:21:09 > 0:21:1215 quid. I think that's the best 15 quid anybody could ever spend.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16David is confident the decorative box will return a profit.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- I'll make you the best offer you've ever had.- Ooh!
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Helen worked hard to drive down the price of the Victorian inkwell.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29That should be a guaranteed profit-maker.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33And finally, will David's prediction prove correct?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36They paid £28 for the cinnabar trinket box.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- There's a heck of a lot of laughing going on.- Oh, yeah.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Too much joy on Bargain Hunt, I'd say.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49So, you've obviously had a very, very good shop, haven't you?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Oh, yes. - What did you spend overall, then?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- £88. - You mean that's the leftover lolly?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57No, that's how much we spent. We've got 212 left.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01212? Just terrible! £212...
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Why do we bother giving you 300? That's what I want to know.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- What's going on here? What are you going to do, Dave?- I don't know.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'll need a lot of time. That's a lot of money for me to go and blow.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16- Find something super-profitable, like you're so good at doing.- Right.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Very good luck to you trio. The rest of us are going to shove off now.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23We're going to go somewhere really, really interesting.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Welcome to Bantock House -
0:22:33 > 0:22:38no grand stately home, but an unassuming Georgian farmhouse
0:22:38 > 0:22:40set in the suburbs of Wolverhampton.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47It's a house that's been lived in and loved by the bourgeoisie,
0:22:47 > 0:22:53local industrialists rather than aristocrats, lords and ladies.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You won't find hanging on the walls of this house
0:22:56 > 0:23:00works by the great and old masters -
0:23:00 > 0:23:03no Titians, no Stubbs.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06But what you will find are a series of paintings
0:23:06 > 0:23:11painted by the Cranbrook Colony. Have you ever heard of 'em?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19The Cranbrook Colony were a group of artists
0:23:19 > 0:23:24headed up by GB O'Neill, who painted these two pictures,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26based in Cranbrook in Kent.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30And they produced a style of genre painting
0:23:30 > 0:23:34which was particularly popular amongst the industrialists
0:23:34 > 0:23:37of the West Midlands and the Northwest,
0:23:37 > 0:23:42the sort of paintings that might have hung in this house originally.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Now, what's exquisite about the Cranbrook Colony pictures
0:23:46 > 0:23:52is their depiction of an idealised life and children.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Here we've got two little kiddiewinks,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59and they raked up some hay, and they've made a little nest,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02hence the title, Nestlings.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06But somebody, some naughty little girl or boy,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09is burrowing away under the hay here,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13and you can see their face just tucking out.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16A seriously naughty boy is here on the outside
0:24:16 > 0:24:20gathering up a kind of ball of stuff, which you just know
0:24:20 > 0:24:23he's going to throw over the girls.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Over here we've got another girl-boy subject,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29here a naughty boy sitting in the corner dribbling.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32At his feet he's got his slate,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35on which he should have been doing his letters,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38and a book discarded on the floor. He's obviously in disgrace,
0:24:38 > 0:24:43but this girl is coming around the corner bearing a plate of fruit.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46It's as if she's coming to say, "Well, cheer up, old man."
0:24:46 > 0:24:49"It can't be as bad as all that."
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Some would say that these paintings are incredibly sentimental,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57which of course they are - and that's the point,
0:24:57 > 0:25:02because the patrons, the rich industrialists from Wolverhampton
0:25:02 > 0:25:06who so loved these pictures liked to have them in their house
0:25:06 > 0:25:10because it reminded them of happy, clean,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12wholesome and healthy childhood...
0:25:14 > 0:25:19..a way of life threatened as a result of the Industrial Revolution.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Right. Let's get to the auction house.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32We're meeting up at Marshall's saleroom,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36except for Rob on the Red Team. He's decided that Bargain Hunt is not for him.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41Undeterred, Philip Serrell has arrived with his bonus buy.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47£220 was spent by you and Rob, £80 going to your man.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50What did you spend the cash on, Serrell?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Well, just a... I bought these,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58which are boxwood, and they would have contained sort of...
0:25:58 > 0:26:02medicine bottles or pots or whatever. I just think they're quite nice,
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- and they were £20 the two. - I've got you trained, Phil.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Absolutely right.- Not like you. - No. Unusual for me, these.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I'd be really disappointed if they didn't make you a profit.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- You could put your paper clips in them.- I think they're rather nice.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- You could put your takings from the pub in it. - We have a few more than that,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24to be honest with you, but we do have some slack days.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Well, there you go, you see. - Maybe the tips for the girls.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Perfect. - I paid £20 for them.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I would be very surprised if they made less than...
0:26:34 > 0:26:3830, and I don't think they'll make over 55.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- I think between 30 and 55. - You're confident there's a profit?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Yeah.- OK. Excellent.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Right?- Good stuff. - Nick, you don't choose now.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49You choose later if you want to go with them or not.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Philip's little pots.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Nick, how do you rate those? Do you think they're anything to do with medicine?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02No. They're not apothecary pieces. They're a nice bit of turned treen,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I suspect for the dressing table. Little powder pots.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07But they're well turned, and people like treen.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Yeah. I used to do things like that in the lower-fourth woodwork class,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- on a little lathe.- Did you, now? And did you get top marks?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Not bad marks, actually. - No detention?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Oh, never any detention, no. I didn't like getting smacked.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Now, how much?- Er, £30 or so.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- OK. £20 paid.- That's fair enough. - They're a bonus buy,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31but I don't see a lot of profit in those.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Anyway, next is the handsome, and, I fancy,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- greatly undervalued walnut whatnot. - They've dropped hugely in value.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41It's still a nice example of its type,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44but they fetch a fraction of what we used to get.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- I mean, that was £200 to £300 standing on your head.- Oh, easily.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Structurally it's sound. Nice bit of inlay. It's OK.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- What's your estimate, then? - 80-120.- OK. £60 paid.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- It should turn a profit. - Yeah, I think so.- Good. Good.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Next is the Italian blotter...- Mm!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04..which you have to admit has got a lot of work in it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Yeah. I mean, it's one of those touristy pieces, really.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Ideally you want it to be a nice bit of English marquetry or Tunbridge Ware,
0:28:11 > 0:28:15then the market would be buoyant. It's not a great seller. It's decorative.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- That's always got a chance. - Somebody will love it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- How much?- 50 to 80.- £100 paid.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- That could be their dark hole.- Ouch! - It could be the Sorrento pit
0:28:26 > 0:28:28into which they're about to descend.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- HE CHUCKLES - Lastly they got their Vesta case.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Solid silver, look! Very nice. Hallmarked.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Always collectible. Nice hallmarks. Good shape with the fluting.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43- Good little collectible item. - What do you think a Vesta collector is going to pay for that one?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- 40 to 60.- £60 they paid.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48So they paid towards the top end on that.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52They'll need all the profit they can generate out of that whatnot,
0:28:52 > 0:28:56and it may not even then be enough. Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Now for the Blues, and this is an engaging trio. Just look at that!
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- Nice mix.- Kicking off with this Secessionist box.
0:29:04 > 0:29:10It's very much, as you say, right in that Vienna Secessionist style.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14The decoration is transfer-printed rather than painted or tube-lined
0:29:14 > 0:29:18that we see in other factories. I think it's a basic workman's piece,
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- a sandwich box, something of that type.- Really?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25You see a workman taking it out on the fields?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Well, it's not...- Walking up all those steep hills in Austria?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31It's not airtight, as you'd expect a biscuit or -
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- In leather trousers? - HE CHUCKLES
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- So what's your estimate, then, Nick? - £40 or so.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- OK. £15 paid.- That's good. There should be profit in that.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- There definitely ought to be. - Good.- Next is the encrier,
0:29:44 > 0:29:49this rather dull Victorian two-bottle inkstand.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54Yeah. It's not the best of its type, but inkstands do sell well.
0:29:54 > 0:30:01Oh, good. Well, I'm reassured, because that's quite a black, dark, dank mid-Victorian one to my eye,
0:30:01 > 0:30:05but it all boils down to the price, doesn't it? They paid £45.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08I don't think that's too bad. It just needs a bit of spit and polish.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- Got the two inkwells there, which is good.- That's a big factor.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- I'd like to see it make £80 or so. - They might double their money?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Could do.- That would be exciting.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21What about this Chinese cinnabar-lacquer-style box?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- Do you think that's any good? - That magic word "style", isn't it?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28It's got a cinnabar look about it.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30I think it's probably machine cut rather than hand cut.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Bit of age to it, early 20th century,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- but a good, decorative bit of Chinese art.- How well will this do?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- We've put 60-plus on it.- £28 paid.
0:30:39 > 0:30:45Here we've got three items bought way below the low estimate
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- in the auction.- It's that canny David again, isn't it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51It's that canny David, stiffening up his team.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55They won't need their bonus buy, but anyway we're going to go and have a look at it.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01- The sale's on for you. We've got the punters coming in, which is lovely. You excited?- Oh, yeah. Very.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05You won't be excited about the £88 you spent. How cheap is that?!
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- We gave you 300.- It's called Bargain Hunt for a reason!
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Ooh! - THEY LAUGH
0:31:11 > 0:31:14She's right. £88 - is that the right strategy,
0:31:14 > 0:31:19because £212 went across to David Harper.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- And what did you blow it on? - I think you'll like this.- OK.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Tell me what you think. It's not a camera!
0:31:26 > 0:31:30It's a novelty table lighter. It's got its original box,
0:31:30 > 0:31:35- which is fantastic. It's called a Photo Flash table lighter.- Oh!
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Oh, it's getting better. Did you like the "flash" bit?
0:31:38 > 0:31:39THEY LAUGH
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Probably 1960s, I think. I'm not over-sure.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46I've never bought one before. I've seen them but never owned one,
0:31:46 > 0:31:50and I just thought it was really funky and jazzy and wacky.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54The first thing to do is to take it out of the box.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57So there is your camera set up in 1960.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- It's very James Bond! - Very, but just in case you're lost
0:32:00 > 0:32:05in your sitting room, and you can't find where the fags are,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- you've got a little compass! - Yes. It's good fun.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13I mean, it's a seriously wacky Japanese novelty item.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- Do you like it?- I don't know.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- Oh.- I'll have to have a think. I'll have to have a think about it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- How much do you think I paid for it? - Not a clue. Really wouldn't know.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27The best price I could get it for was £55. That was it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31The big thing is, would you pay £55 for it? Honestly?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Probably not.- Yeah. - THEY LAUGH
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Anyway, you don't decide right now. You decide later,
0:32:37 > 0:32:42but for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little lighter.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- There we go. It's a lot of fun. - There it is.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50A sweet little thing, really. There is a collector's market for these.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Yes. I mean, you got the box. Look. - All the component parts are here.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58The condition's not great, which is a massive factor in these things.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03Yes. Somebody who smoked 40 a day, and lit them all with that lighter
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- for a lifetime.- Yeah. But it's a quirky collector's item,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10so there is a market for it. It's an internet-based sale,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- and it will be an internet purchase, I'm sure.- What sort of price?
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- 40 to 60.- OK. £55 paid, so they're pretty well spot on.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- Of course, they may not take it. - They might not.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22The big trick is to achieve these massive estimates.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Are you taking the sale today? - I shall be, Tim.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27We're in safe hands.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36So, Nick, here we are. Excited?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I am, yeah. Quite excited, Tim. Yeah.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42You never know what will happen in an auction.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- That's the fun of the thing, really. - Plenty of people here.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50Plenty, which is a good sign. First up is the whatnot. Here it comes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:56Lot 84 is the Victorian marquetry-inlaid walnut-veneered four-tier whatnot.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Good classic design. Nice condition as well.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02I've got commissioned interest, you'll be pleased to know.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06I can start the bidding straight in at... Wait for it...£100.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Oh, well done!- Well done, you. - Fingers crossed.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Any advance, now? £100 bid. You coming in, sir? 110.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15120. 120, I'm holding. Worth another one, surely.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19130. 140 with me. Going to try one more, sir?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22140 I'm holding. On commission with me. You're out. 140 I'm bid.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26With me at £140. Any further bids? Have you all done?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30150 online. 160 now. The bid's with me on commission. 160.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34£160. If you're out online I'm selling now.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- 160!- I'm in the wrong job.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- Oops!- Good stuff.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- That's £100 profit. - Nearly £100 lost.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- Plus £100 on the first item! - Well done, you.- This never happens!
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- I might lose this for you. - Now, here comes your blotter, Phil.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Lot 85 is the Italian grand-tour revival
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Sorrento Ware desk-top stationery folio.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02Bit of interest, as well. I'm going to come in on commission at £100.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- That's good.- I take my hat off.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09110 now. 110 now. Any further bids in the room?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12110 online. Commission's out. It's all online.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- 110 now. At £110. - I told you it was a nice thing.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Make no mistake, the bid's online at £110.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24£110, so that's plus £10, which means you've now got £110
0:35:24 > 0:35:27of your own profit. Cor! Right!
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Six is the Edwardian hallmarked silver Vesta case.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Nice decoration, this, with the fluting
0:35:33 > 0:35:38almost simulating the cigars. We're going to say 40 for it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40£40 anywhere? £40? 35? 30?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Thank you, madam. 30 bid in the front row. 30 offered.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57- Come on! Yes! - In the front row. At £50, all done.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- At £50 I'm selling. - That wipes out your £10,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03which leaves you with plus 100. Now, what you going to do?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05All the responsibility is yours.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10Are you going to go with the two medicine bottles?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13The worst I can do is lose 20 quid, and I like them, Phil.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Good. So the decision is made. - If they wipe their face,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- I'll be quite happy, Tim. - All right. Fine.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24Lot 90 is the 1920s turned boxwood ladies' dressing-table receptacle.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Two of them in the lot. That'll be £30.
0:36:27 > 0:36:3025? £20? £20 anywhere?
0:36:30 > 0:36:34£15? Tenner? For the two, not each! Thank you, sir. Ten bid.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Any advance on a tenner? Got to go. Selling at £10.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- £10.- Cost you a tenner. I'm sorry about that.- Not to worry.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Minus ten... That is plus 90.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Had to bring some respectability to your score. You got far too much.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- There you go. Plus 90, all right? - Not too bad. Not too bad at all.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Don't tell the Blues a thing. No point in spoiling their day.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Happy?- Yeah. - Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- No. Haven't got a clue.- Good. We don't want you to know, actually.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12First up is your biscuit barrel, and here it comes.
0:37:12 > 0:37:18Lot 105 is the 1920s Vienna Secessionist ceramic-and-metal box.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Nicely decorated. We're going to go £40 for it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Nice bit of Vienna Secessionism. £40 for it.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- 35. 30, surely. - Oh, no...- Come on!

0:37:47 > 0:37:51You all done? Selling online. It's against you all in the room.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Selling online at £35. - £35. I don't care.

0:38:30 > 0:38:34- £55. All finished? - That's £10.- I'm happy.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37That is a profit. You have got two profits.

0:39:07 > 0:39:11Online at 55. The hammer's hovering. I'm going at £55.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14£55. That's very good. That's two off 30.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16That's 25. That's plus 27.
0:39:16 > 0:39:2227 and ten is 37, plus 20 is 57. That is plus 57.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- That is not bad. - £57! How about that?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29What are you going to do about the bonus buy? This is a bit chancy,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33because... We know it's chancy. What are you going to do?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- You can stick.- God, here we go.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Or you've got £57 to stick in there.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- What do you think? - Yes.- Are you going with it?
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- OK, no.- You're not going with it. It's coming up now anyway.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- I can't believe it!- Lot 111
0:39:48 > 0:39:54is the 1960s KKW Photo Flash novelty table lighter.

0:39:59 > 0:40:0330. Someone snap it up. Thank you, sir. 30 bid.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Right at the back. 30 offered. Any further bid? It's in the room,
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- standing at £30. Anyone online? - Get online!
0:40:10 > 0:40:14The bid's in the room. £30, if you're all sure that's all.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- At £30, selling... - Yes! It's sold for £30.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- Oh, thank God!- It's minus 25. - What do you mean, "Yes! It's sold"?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- HE LAUGHS - Well, I can tell you, girls,
0:40:24 > 0:40:28this is a special moment on Bargain Hunt. Don't talk to the Reds at all,
0:40:28 > 0:40:32because you have made a profit on all three items.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- All right?- Yes!
0:40:34 > 0:40:38The golden gavel that once ruled supreme on this programme
0:40:38 > 0:40:42makes its comeback, because we found some more golden gavels,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45and you are the first team that have won a golden gavel
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- for absolutely yonks.- Yes!- Get in!
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- Thank you!- Thank you! Ooh!
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Got a snog then! - Oh, sorry! That was a plus!
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Why are you thanking him? - I helped in the beginning!
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- Do you want a snog as well? - What? I want one too.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- THEY LAUGH - Don't talk to the Reds.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19What an incredible programme we've had today! Both teams making stellar profits.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Oh!- Get in there!
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- But have these teams been talking to one another?- No.- No.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Well, sadly we do have to have a runner-up on Bargain Hunt,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32and the runners-up today are...the Blues.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Oh, no!- Get in there!
0:41:35 > 0:41:40- Oh!- The Blues have managed to lose by winning £57.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- Oh, well...- Which is a pretty queer old kettle of fish, I have to say.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49Anyway, £57 coming across here. You didn't go with the bonus buy,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- which was one of your wisest moves today.- Well done.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56As a result, not only did you take £57 in the way of profit,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00but you made a profit on each of the things you bought between you,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03and as a result, I'm going to be able to present you
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- with a golden gavel. - I've never seen one.- No.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Well, the new golden gavels come in the form of a pin.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Oh!- All right? This is something for each of you girls
0:42:14 > 0:42:18to wear with pride, and because we've had such a stellar performance
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- from you, my friend... - No, Tim! Not me as well?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- Yes, you as well.- Oh!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27A successful expert in a golden-gavel occupation
0:42:27 > 0:42:30is allowed to have his very own pin,
0:42:30 > 0:42:34so you can pin that to your bosom, David - careful as you go -
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- and wear it with pride. - I will.- Congratulations,
0:42:37 > 0:42:41and I hope you've had a great time. You've got money and something to show for it.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45But the big winners are over here. £90 of profit,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- which is phenomenal, isn't it? - Thanks very much, Tim.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51£100 off that whatnot, for a kick-off,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54was a considerable effort, wasn't it?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57And you got a nice profit out of the Sorrento blotter,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01so well done for that, Phil. But not a profit on each item,
0:43:01 > 0:43:03which is what makes that performance very clever.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06But there you go. What are you giggling at?
0:43:06 > 0:43:09He can share it with us. We'll go up for a drink.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Well, same town. What could be better? We've had a great day.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
