0:00:03 > 0:00:06Please may I have eight bacon sandwiches,
0:00:06 > 0:00:10two sausage sandwiches, three cheeseburgers
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- and one coffee with eight sugars. - OK, thank you.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Lovely, thank you.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17I have the most terrible time feeding the crew and the contestants
0:00:17 > 0:00:20but that little breakfast is just for David Barby!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Tim, I've got such an insatiable appetite.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25That's not the only thing that's insatiable about you.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Welcome to the antique and collectors' fair
0:01:00 > 0:01:03here at the Mona Show Ground on Anglesey.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08The teams, the crew, have all been watered and fed now
0:01:08 > 0:01:10and everyone is generally ready for the off.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17James Lewis and reds Angela and Jeff treat the shopping like a race.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hey, you guys. You're pretty Speedy Gonzalez, aren't you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24It's slow progress, though, for David Barby
0:01:24 > 0:01:26with blues Pauline and Rachel.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Is this the sort of glass you're looking for?- I love this. It's fab.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The coloured glass we're looking at is modern. Thank you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And we're going to get no profit on it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38320, now. 320, 350...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41So will the hare or the tortoise win at auction?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- And here we are. Hello, everyone. - Hello.- Great to see you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Now, Jeff, Ange is your oldest sister, right?- She is.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- And has that ever caused you any problems?- Lots of problems, Tim.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I think Ange wished I was a little sister
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- because she used to dress me up as a girl.- Did she?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Make-up, the works - dresses.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- Has that damaged you psychologically at all?- Hopefully not.- No?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Do you ever get a longing for tights? - Er, lipstick but not tights.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Lipstick, not tights. That's sensible.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Now, Jeff, what's your main passion in life?- Football.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27I've always been into it. I got involved with Liverpool Football Club.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31I started a football collection from it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Every time I used to go, picking up bits of memorabilia, programmes.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- They're lovely mementoes. - They're fantastic.
0:02:37 > 0:02:43- And whether they win or lose...- Well, they used to win when I was a child.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- but not any more.- Well, things can always change.- They will.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- That's what's so brilliant. - They will.- Angela, do you collect anything?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Yes, I do. I collect mainly Enid Blyton books.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- I've got quite a few first editions. - Have you?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57And other books, as well.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I've got The Count Of Monte Cristo, an old copy of that.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I've got a set of Charles Dickens that are over 100 years old.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05That's a really nice thing to do.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And every time you come to a fair or a car boot,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- there's always old books.- Oh, yeah.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- People don't know what's there. - They don't.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17You find them in charity shops, as well. They can be 10p.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20So if you find an Enid Blyton first edition out there today...
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Yeah.- ..will you be able to resist keeping it for yourself
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- or will you give it to the programme? - No, I'll keep it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30You're not allowed to admit that.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Anyway, I hope you have a lovely time.- Thank you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Now, blues. How do you two know each other?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Me and Pauline are both custodians at Plas Mawr,
0:03:39 > 0:03:44which is the finest Elizabethan townhouse in the country.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Really? Now, Pauline, I gather that Plas Mawr's got a ghost.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Well, yes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52There were some visitors who went upstairs to the attic rooms
0:03:52 > 0:03:57and they came rushing down, they were all white-faced and rushing about,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00saying they'd heard this ghost saying, "Leave. Leave."
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Leave? That's not friendly, is it? Especially as they'd paid to come in.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Exactly. I thought, "I'm not going up by myself."- No!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10In case it told me to leave. So I asked Rachel to go with me.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15And it turned out it was just the fire alarm system.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- Now, talking about spirits, Rachel, you're partial to a glass, aren't you?- I am.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I've been making homemade wine for the past ten years or so.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30- On one occasion I was making rice and raisin wine. It had fermented.- Lovely.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I'd sieved it and just put the pulp in the bin.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36And it was three days later, an elderly neighbour came to me
0:04:36 > 0:04:41and asked why there was a flock of seagulls staggering around the street and falling off rooftops.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45They'd eaten the pulp and that's got alcohol in it,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48so they were sozzled and couldn't fly for a week.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50How very funny.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Pauline, you're a great fan of birds, though, aren't you?- Yes, I am.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Any one in particular?- Chickens.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- What is it with you and chickens? - We had chickens when I was little.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Yeah?- And I found on one of the internet sites
0:05:02 > 0:05:05a place where you get rescue chickens.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Rescued chickens? - Yes, from battery chickens.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Really? From out of the oven?- No!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Get 'em out... What do you do, give them the kiss of life?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17They don't have many feathers, so you can knit them little jumpers.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Get away! What, this is a registered charity?
0:05:21 > 0:05:22- Yes!- Is it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25We're going to have the most super programme today, aren't we?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Anyway, here we go, look. Here's the £300.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Take the £300, you know the rules, your experts await and off you go
0:05:32 > 0:05:34and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Well, I don't know. Bald chickens?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Drunken seagulls?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Where do we get them from?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Right, teams, your hour starts now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49What are you after?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Some small silver, like vesta cases or something like that.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Something with dogs on.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Any coloured glass.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I really like silver but I'm not sure that'll sell well.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- A silver dog, then.- Maybe. - Let's go and have a look.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Are those salt and pepper things? - Yeas but they're very ordinary.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Guys, what do you think to Moorcroft?
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- That can be yours for £1,495. - Is that all?- Yeah.- Really.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20We've got 300, it's a bit out of our price range.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Those are popular. What do you think to those?- Is it a jug and bowl?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Yes, it is a milk jug and bowl. - Jug and bowl together.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Please don't drop them.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34There's a reason why I don't often look at ceramics.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36If you drop a bronze, it dents the floor.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39If you drop these, it's curtains.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- How old is this?- This is going to be about 1935.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46It's nice and early.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48You've got two bits instead of one.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Erm...- He's just on his way. - Is he? OK. The stallholder's coming.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54What could you do those two for?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58One and a half.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02One and a half. 150 quid. You've got two pieces.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Mm.- I think that's a really good price.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09120 would be better. Can you do it?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It would be better for you, not for me.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I know, I know.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Go on, just for you. 120.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- If you're happy with it, I'll go with it.- Yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- 120 quid? Deal, deal?- Fine. - Thank you.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Well, there could be a chance of profit here for the reds.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Of course, any blue team profits will be turned into knitwear
0:07:30 > 0:07:32for Pauline's bald chickens.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39I'm going to buy some wool and some needles, so I should be all right.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46So, should get a good few jumpers out of it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- Cardigans, scarves... - No, just jumpers.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Gilets.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Leg warmers.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Little bobbly hats.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Sweat bands.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01TIM SQUAWKS
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Of course, the only way I like a chicken dressed
0:08:04 > 0:08:06is with a nice bit of gravy.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Ah!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Hey, you guys. You're pretty Speedy Gonzalez, aren't you?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13We're trying our best, Tim.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You've bought something in six minutes, right?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19And then you got a thumping great reduction.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I've been filled in with all the details.- Spying on us already.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25We're up there watching, you know.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- So how are you feeling, Ange? Are you all right?- I'm enjoying it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- It's lovely to see everything here. - Isn't it?
0:08:30 > 0:08:35It's such of feast of objects. Always something interesting.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36What have you found there?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39"Great Eastern Steam Ship.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43"Tons, 24,000, length, 692."
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Really?- Get away. Look at that.- Mm.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's a little bit of memorabilia
0:08:48 > 0:08:53relating to what was the largest iron-built ship in the world
0:08:53 > 0:08:55at that moment.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm not sure if the Great Eastern was a paddle or a single screw
0:08:58 > 0:09:01but it laid cables all round the world.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- Is that what it did?- Just at the moment that telegraph cables were being laid everywhere
0:09:06 > 0:09:09and then it was very useful for that.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12They had a huge problem in getting a length of wire
0:09:12 > 0:09:14that would go across the Atlantic.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- You can imagine, really! - What you need
0:09:16 > 0:09:21is 2,500 miles of wire on one vessel
0:09:21 > 0:09:23in a series of rolls
0:09:23 > 0:09:26and the Great Eastern was able to do that.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I think it did very well on that front.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31That cowry shell could've come from the Caribbean, couldn't it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Somebody's etched that or carved it.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I mean, he's the man. It's no wonder he does so well.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Was that on that table?- Yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- How much is it?- £28.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- £28.- That's not a lot of money, is it?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- When would that have been made? - That's mid 19th century.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52This is a bit of high Victorian engineering, it's an important part
0:09:52 > 0:09:57of Brunel, Britain, all that made this country great,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59a century and a half ago.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02It's all wrapped up in a shell that somebody's carved.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05How can I influence them any more?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Let's see what he'll take for it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- What would be your best? - I'll do that for 25, sir.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- 25. Yes?- I'm happy with that. - I'm happy with that? - Yeah, definitely.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Profit in it for both of us. Thank you. Deal.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23That's two deals in 11 minutes. Slow down, reds!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25This is no race.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I've just dug this out of a casket.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Now, what do you think?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- It's a lovely shape, isn't it? - Feel the weight.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's not an early one. It's a lump of silver.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46But it's a very functional piece.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Breathe on it there.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Do you see the mark come up?- Yeah.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54It's fully hallmarked, there.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's a fairly late mark. What's the date on it?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00It's 1971 and I don't think it's ever been used.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- It's not dented or anything, is it? - It's late.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I've got to get out of the idea of thinking everything has to be old.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Some things modern in a Georgian style are very acceptable.- Mm-hm.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Rachel, feel the weight.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Yeah, there's some weight in it. - It is good.- It's nice, isn't it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Substantial. That's what I like about it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- It looks class.- It does look class.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Like us. What's the price on that?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It's priced at £120. He'll take 80 for it.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Do you think we'd make much of a profit on that?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Ooh, I think it's all its money at auction.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- I don't think you'll make a profit on it.- OK.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- You could do. That's a risk you'd have to take.- Mm.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I'm not going to say it's a bargain at £80.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Is it worth going for it? - Well, I'll have a go if...
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Yeah, I think we'll have a go. Yes. - You'll have a go?- We'll have a go.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Right, I'll go and settle up.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Well, it's about time you did have a go, girls,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59because the reds might have found their last buy.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06That little box, there, the wooden one.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Do you want to have a look at it? - Could we?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Hi. Could we have a look at the boxwood card case, please?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Is that what it is? - It's a visiting-card case.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18- This one?- Thank you.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- How much is it? Oh! It's £155. - Too much money.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- It's a card holder, is it?- Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34It's Chinese Canton boxwood.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36How old do you think that is?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40It's likely to have been made between 1870 and 1900,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44when the trade links between England and China were at their strongest.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- How frequently are these in auction? - Regularly.- Oh, are they?- Right.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- So it's not that rare?- It's not rare but they are doing well.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- OK, so how much are these going for? - Totally different kettle of fish,
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I saw a tortoiseshell one, about the same quality as this,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- make 3,500 the other day.- Really?
0:13:02 > 0:13:08I've seen boxwood ones of nicer quality making £400, 500.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Right.- Do you think that's got age to it?- Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- It's not a modern reproduction?- No.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Again, the work that's gone into that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Do you see where the edges are slightly proud?- Yeah.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Do you see there's a shine on them? - Yeah.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Is that wear? - That's 100 years of that
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- and where it's too deep, there's a matt finish.- Yeah.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Did you buy it well? - Yes, absolutely.- It's a...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Nice ones are never cheap. - No, they're not.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- Does it owe you a lot of money? - I'm afraid it does, yeah.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- I can help a little. What have we got?- 155.- 155.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I could do it for 120.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48120.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51What do you think? Is that the very best?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Erm, yes, it is, really, yes.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- No chance of a little bit less? - Perhaps a fiver more.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Would you take 100 for it? That would give us a fighting chance.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Erm, it's leaving very little but yeah, I'll do £100.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- There's still a little profit in there?- Very small.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13He's had a profit, it gives us a fighting chance.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Go for it. I think we should go for this.- Go on, then.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- I'm happy.- You chose it.- Yeah!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- I'm happy to go for it. - It's your show.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Well, that, I think was a record shop.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27We did it in about half the time. I'll buy you a drink.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32But will it be a case of too much haste, James?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Talking of cases, the blues have got one.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Rachel, this is about the only thing you've indicated you like.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Why do you like that?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's just quite an interesting little piece, really.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Do you like mother-of-pearl?- I do.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- Do you have jewellery with mother-of-pearl in it? - Only one very small piece
0:14:52 > 0:14:54from my grandmother.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56That's a little ring box. Can you open it up?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00And it's lined with ivory.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I don't think this has ever, ever been used
0:15:03 > 0:15:05because it's got its original silk.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Just fraying slightly there but that indicates its age.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Nothing to worry about. I think that's rather nice.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- I quite like that. - Yes, I think it's lovely.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17And the ivory is all right because it is Victorian, you say?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21It is Victorian, it's not post 1947.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- And all the pieces are there. - Yeah, there's nothing...
0:15:26 > 0:15:28And it's got its little feet and if you look underneath,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31it's got its original lacquered paper.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- So it's quite nice. - It's amazing, that.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35A lot of these things do come off
0:15:35 > 0:15:38because they've been stored where it's damp
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and the glue underneath lifts.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43But I think that's quite a nice little box.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- If we can get it for round about 60 or something like that?- Yeah.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52We'll make a bit of profit on that then?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55We'll make a reasonable profit but not a vast amount.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59You haven't got one of these items that's going to bring you £200, £300 profit.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01OK. I quite like that.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Shall we have a go with that? You happy with that?- Yes, I am.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I can do it for 65.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Any less? 60?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I paid, what was it? 62.
0:16:13 > 0:16:1562.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Are you quite happy with 62?- Yeah. - It's a nice box.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- It's halfway, isn't it?- Yeah.- OK. - Yeah. It's a nice box.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Well, let's pay up and move on. - Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Now, don't drop off
0:16:25 > 0:16:28because I've spied something interesting outside.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Do you know what it is?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36It's a tricky object, I have to tell you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41You won't believe it but this thing is made of solid brass.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Just look on that edge there. See?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46It's all brassy underneath this paint effect.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Down this end, we've got a turned wooden bit,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50which is the handle,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52and through the handle you've got a hole
0:16:52 > 0:16:56and it would have had a thong set in there,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58a length of leather which came out of it here
0:16:58 > 0:17:00that you'd have around your wrist,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03so that this thing could be about your person
0:17:03 > 0:17:05or on your horse.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Think about it.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Why have you got a solid brass tube,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14covered in a brown, blotchy paint job, with a wooden handle,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17that's capable of being hung from your horse?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19The secret is, of course,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22that the brown paint job is camouflage.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Because the person who used this didn't want it shining in the sunlight,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30giving away their position,
0:17:30 > 0:17:36and the secret becomes more obvious if I twist this little flange on the top
0:17:36 > 0:17:39and reveal that bit - it's a mirror.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43And if I tweak the bottom bit through that flange,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46it reveals another mirror.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50So, if I was in the Boer War,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52which is when this thing dates from,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56and I wanted to find whether one of those beastly Boers
0:17:56 > 0:17:58were over the top of a ridge,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01what I'd do is I'd get off my horse,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I'd go up to the ridge, I'd stick this periscope up
0:18:04 > 0:18:06and I'd have a little squint through there.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Oh, I say!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13There, you see?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17It's got a civilian application even today.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23What would such a relic from Britain's military and empire past
0:18:23 > 0:18:24cost you today?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27It could be yours for under £50.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Now, back to the blues shopping for their final item
0:18:33 > 0:18:35and a rather frustrated David Barby.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39They've looked at so many other pieces
0:18:39 > 0:18:43and I don't get any comeback, any enthusiasm.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Put the beans in there, seal it up,
0:18:47 > 0:18:48and put that in there...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52and the burner would roast the beans.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53That's lovely.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Pauline's appreciating the history behind the objects,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01particularly that little coffee grinder, which is brilliant.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- You don't like it?- No. - It's very different, isn't it?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I know it's quirky and I know it's different
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- but it's... - You specifically said quirky items.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Rachel doesn't like that and she's now looking for coloured glass.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Is this the sort of glass you're looking for? - I love this. This is fab.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22The coloured glass we're looking at is modern
0:19:22 > 0:19:24and we're going to get no profit on it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27No such frustration for James.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Oh, no. He's all done. Only one thing on his mind.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Do you have a really big sausage?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I understand that James Lewis has finished now.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I wish I had that opportunity
0:19:37 > 0:19:40but it's excitement, isn't it, until the last minute?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42That last second.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44So, we'll see how it goes.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Well, if it's glass Rachel wants, it's glass she'll get.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51So this is an interesting shape.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54This is probably by Powell and Co., it's Birmingham,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and they specialised in these sort of tear drops at the side.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Rachel. Glass, glass.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Glass.- Does your hand tremble with excitement?- Yes, it does.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Well, it is hallmarked. The price is £60.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- What do you think? - And it is silver?- Silver base.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16It looks organic, to me. Does it look organic to you?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- It looks very much like a sort of Powell glass.- Yes, it does.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- What you want is a green blob in there.- I know, I know.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- What do you think, girls? - I quite like it.- I like it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- And you're passionate about glassware?- I am.- She is.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'm just the bearer of bad news, really, because time's running out.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You've not done a lot in the last half an hour.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- I mean, you have done lots but we've got to buy the stuff or...- Tim?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- What's that?- Goodbye.- Oh, thanks.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Right...- £60. I think that's a great price.- Yeah.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- You think so?- Yeah.- Let's go for it. - Let's go for it.- Yeah.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53At last they agree!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55But is our Rachel happy?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Are you excited about it? - I am excited, yes.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Can you not tell?- No. No.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Look excited!
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Oh, I am excited!
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Oh, calm down, David. You're not in a disco.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Now our experts have to shop for their teams' bonus buys
0:21:13 > 0:21:14with the leftover lolly.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16How much? Let's find out.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Jeff and Angela raced to their first buy,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25two pieces of Moorcroft for £120.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Minutes later, they had this engraved shell for a mere 25.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37And they finished their shop with this boxwood card case for 100.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43So what's this? Treats and rewards is it?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I mean, there you go, 20-minute shop.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52- We don't hang around, Tim. - You certainly don't hang around. - Well, we were decisive.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- So what did you spend, then, actually?- £245.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58£245. That is such a good number.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03- £245. So I want £55 back, don't I? £55.- There you go, Tim.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Here's your £55.- Thank you.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- What are you going to do with that, Jimmy?- I'm going to try and find something oriental.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Because you love it, don't you? So I'm going to go in search of something like that.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17And it can sell very well at auction. So good luck with that.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Take your sandwich with you. Perfect.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Now we're going to remind ourselves what the blue team bought.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Pauline and Rachel bought the sauce boat first for £80.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36They then plumped for the mother-of-pearl casket at 62.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40And in the last few minutes, they found this vase for £60.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47You've missed out on the scoff and the tea because you took so long.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50We took the precise hour, Tim, that we were allotted,
0:22:50 > 0:22:51- did we not, girls?- We did.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55And the others have had their sausage sandwiches and cha.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But never mind. You could have stolen the march on them
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and got the biggest bargain of all.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- How much did you spend?- 202.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- 202? That's a good number, isn't it? - It is.- 2:2. Like David's degree.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14OK, you tutus, I'd like £98 then, please.
0:23:14 > 0:23:1698 smackers coming. That's lovely.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18That goes straight across to David Barby.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21What are you going to do with all that smackerage?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I quite honestly do not know.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Really?- It's one of those things.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30I'm going to spot something and go, "Right, that's Rach or that's Pauline."
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's their choice. I want something that will make them happy.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Yeah, make them happy but what would make them best happy is the biggest profit.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41And profit is the point of this game.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We'll find out how much later at the auction.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47For now, let's take a short trip to the home of Lord Anglesey,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Plas Newydd.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00In the past, a grand house like this
0:24:00 > 0:24:02would have sat in the heart of an estate,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05acres of land as far as the eye could see.
0:24:10 > 0:24:17The family's estates in the 1780s extended to some 100,000 acres.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You think about it - 100,000 acres.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25How many tenants, exactly, would you have on 100,000 acres?
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Well, if the average size of each farm was, say, 50 acres,
0:24:30 > 0:24:35on 100,000 acres you'd have over 2,000 tenants.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39And what happened to those 2,000 tenants?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Well, every single quarter day, that's four times a year,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46they'd foregather in the agent's office.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48And they'd sit around a table like this
0:24:48 > 0:24:52and each of those tenants would be eyeballed by the agent
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and he'd say, "What's your name?"
0:24:54 > 0:24:57And the tenant would say, "My name's Burke."
0:24:57 > 0:25:00And he'd say, "Ah, now, Burke. Right."
0:25:00 > 0:25:02And he'd twizzle the rent table around
0:25:02 > 0:25:04until you get to the right drawer.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07They've got the alphabet inlaid on them
0:25:07 > 0:25:11and he'd take out the tenancy agreement for Burke.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15"Right," he'd say, "Burke. Let me see."
0:25:15 > 0:25:18The tenancy agreement says that on every quarter day -
0:25:18 > 0:25:22and quarter days were Christmas Day, Midsummer's Day,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Lady Day, which is in March,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27and Michaelmas, which is in September -
0:25:27 > 0:25:31and on each of those days each of the tenants would have to come in to the office.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37The agent would remove the centre section on a rent table like this
0:25:37 > 0:25:40and he's day, "OK, fine, here's your tenancy agreement.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44"You owe a quarter's rent, that's one pound eight and sixpence."
0:25:44 > 0:25:48He'd initial that one pound eight and sixpence had been paid,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50post the money into the middle
0:25:50 > 0:25:54and, hey presto, your quarter's rent was paid up.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Now, this is a relic of those rent-paying days
0:25:58 > 0:26:02that would, originally, have sat in the agent's office
0:26:02 > 0:26:04in rather a humble position in the house.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09But today, the Trust have it here on Anglesey on public display
0:26:09 > 0:26:11in a grand room,
0:26:11 > 0:26:16just as an example of bygone days and how these things happened.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19The big question is today, of course,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23are our teams likely or even able to do the business
0:26:23 > 0:26:25over at the auction?
0:26:29 > 0:26:34'And our auction today is in the market town of Nantwich,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36'under the direction of Robert Stones.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42'Now, what will he think of James' bonus buy?'
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Now, Jeff, no Ange?- No Ange, I'm afraid. She's in Boston.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Is she?- She is.- Business or pleasure? - Business.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Ah, we'll let her off, then. - Only just.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02£55 of leftover lolly went from you and Ange to James Lewis.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Did he blow the lot? James? - Not quite but the majority of it.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Oh! - LAUGHTER
0:27:09 > 0:27:11What do you think to that?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Well...- That's me with an moustache, I think!
0:27:14 > 0:27:19I just looked at that and I thought, "People are either going to love it or hate it."
0:27:19 > 0:27:24- What is it?- It's actually a mask. A miniature Japanese mask.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29- Oh, right.- It's been framed around 1890 to 1900,
0:27:29 > 0:27:30so it's a Meiji period mask
0:27:30 > 0:27:33that somebody has thought was great fun, had it framed.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37It's never been out of its frame, so that's in its favour.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38It's in lovely condition.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41It is a sort of macabre-looking thing, isn't it?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44But I must say, the frame has done it a great favour
0:27:44 > 0:27:46in keeping it in brilliant nick, hasn't it?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Whether you like this frame or not, it is all sealed up.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- These things are called Noh masks. - Oh, right.- N-O-H masks.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Also "no", because they have no chance of making a profit, I think.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, I've got to say, I do like its unusualness.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04They'd be set up as puppets, these things
0:28:04 > 0:28:07and you'd then do a performance, like Punch and Judy,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11but with 60 or 80 characters all running around in their costumes.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- How much did you pay again?- £32.- £32.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Any money in it, do you think? If there's Japanese collectors there.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22- I think it's worth £35-40. I don't see a lot of profit in it.- No.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24What do you think Ange would think about it?
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- Erm...- Do you want to ring her up in Boston?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- No.- What time is it in Boston? - She can phone me.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- I love that.- I think she'd be laughing about it, that's for sure.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38The responsibility is yours but for the audience,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about James' Noh mask.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Well, he's an odd-looking fellow, isn't he?
0:28:47 > 0:28:48Well, er...
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night, I tell you.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I don't know quite what to say about this, to be honest.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57It's always difficult when you see something like this that's sealed.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Ah, yes.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Although I have tried to get inside this sealed box,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- I can't get into it.- Yes.
0:29:05 > 0:29:12So I'm not entirely sure if this Noh figurehead is porcelain or not because I can't check it.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16- It could be wood, couldn't it? - It could.- Sometimes they are.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19But odd things can do better than average, can't they?
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Well, we'll see.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24You clearly love it, Robert.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- What is your estimate?- 20 to 40.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Very good. £32 was paid by James,
0:29:29 > 0:29:32who's a genius when it comes to finding the oddball,
0:29:32 > 0:29:33and we'll hope for the best.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Now, a subject close to your heart.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- Moorcroft.- Absolutely.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43Moorcroft made in Cobridge, which is about ten miles from here,
0:29:43 > 0:29:47so there's a great following for it and people love the stuff.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52These are two particularly plain and ordinary pieces, though, aren't they?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- I know but they're going to do OK. - Are they?- I think so.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57I like your reassurance, there.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Well, how much is OK, then?
0:29:58 > 0:30:03- Well, we think £80 to 120. - OK. £120 paid.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- So they're pretty well at the top end of the range.- Yeah.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10We'll be relying on you, Robert, but we trust you.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15- Now, what about the Great Eastern Steam Ship...?- Little shell.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20Probably a souvenir, if you like, of the Great Eastern shipping line.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22And it's got the tonnage
0:30:22 > 0:30:26and the length of the ship on the shell as well,
0:30:26 > 0:30:27acid etched.
0:30:27 > 0:30:33Yeah, and of course, people do collect things which relate to the great Victorian vessels
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- What do you think it might bring? - 15 to 25.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38£25 paid, so they're pretty well spot-on with that, too.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43Finally, the little Chinese export card case.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46I like to see these in ivory, myself.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- I'm not so keen on the wooden ones. - Yeah, I have to agree with you.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53If it was made out of ivory, it would be a beautiful thing
0:30:53 > 0:30:55but it is what it is, it's carved out of wood.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58It's in great condition, it's not been knocked about,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00as so often they can be,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02with the fine carving being so delicate.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- We're saying 30 to 50.- £100 paid.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10So I think if there's a dark hole, it will revolve around the card case.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- So we've all learnt something from that.- Mm.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15That's it for the reds, now for the blues,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- which look much more conventional. - Yeah.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20This should be a walk in the park, I think.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23A very nice silver sauce boat.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27It's unfortunately not very old. It's a relatively modern thing
0:31:27 > 0:31:30but silver prices are very buoyant at the moment.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It's a very conventional shape.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I think we might do OK with that.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Like, how well?- 90 to 120.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Perfect. £80 paid.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41And what about the little ring casket?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44I think it's extremely difficult to age this.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46The condition of it is incredible.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Everything about it is absolutely pristine.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Brand Harry spankers, then, potentially?- Could be.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54But there may be somebody that likes it.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56It's almost too good to be true.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- What would your estimate be? - 40 to 60.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Fair enough. £62 paid. So they're in the frame, more or less.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04The last item is quite fun.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08I like these tear drop, solifleur,
0:32:08 > 0:32:10these kind of single flower head type vases.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- Does that appeal to you? - Yes, it's not a bad piece.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18The big thing about this is that the glass is in good condition.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19The downside is,
0:32:19 > 0:32:22it's actually got a silver foot on it, which is good,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26but you if you look carefully, you can see that frosted...
0:32:26 > 0:32:30You can see that overenthusiastic housewife 200 yards away, can't you?
0:32:30 > 0:32:34"I've got to clean that up. I'll get out one of those oven-cleaning pads."
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Absolutely fatal. - "Give it a good scouring."
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- What's your estimate on it? - On that one, we've said 40 to 60.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- OK, £60. So they're not far off on any of it, really.- No. In with a sporting chance.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46They may not need their bonus buy
0:32:46 > 0:32:49but we're going to have a look at it, anyway.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Now, Rach and Pauline, you spent a clear 202.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58You gave David Barby 98 smackers. What did he spend it on?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Well, I didn't spend the lot.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04I spent £40 on this very special piece of glass.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Now, you wanted glass. - I did want glass - coloured glass.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09This is coloured as well.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Now, there was one factory in central Europe called Loetz
0:33:13 > 0:33:16who specialised in this green, iridescent glass.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20This is in the manner of Loetz, it's not necessarily Loetz itself.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24But what I like about it is it has this gilt metal collar,
0:33:24 > 0:33:28which is loose, but anybody can restore it.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32But that little collar round there has a sort of art nouveau design.
0:33:32 > 0:33:37So we're looking at probably just before the First World War.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Remember that the top is loose.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Steady!
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- So much did you actually pay?- £40.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Do you like the colours, Rach? - I do like the colours, yeah.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50It is an interesting piece.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Pauline, what do you think, darling? - I do like it as well, yeah.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Profit, though, do you think?
0:33:55 > 0:33:59I think it's probably going to make only five or 10 pounds.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02We watched his lips. He's predicting five or ten pounds.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- Hold that thought until the auction...- Mmm.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14There we go, Robert. That looks rather colourful.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Nice piece of Bohemian glass, Austrian, Hungarian area.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20And you can see here how the colour plays on it
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- and that's what people like. - Yes, gorgeous.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- What's the estimate?- 20 to 40.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Ah. £40 paid.- Oh, really? - By David Barby.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31So he's rating it as his bonus buy
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- but he may just have paid a tad too much.- Mm.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36- We'll see in a moment.- We will.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- You're in good voice? - Absolutely ready to go.- Lovely.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Have you been on the phone to Ange, then?- Yeah. Transatlantic calls.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57- Ah, nothing's spared on this programme.- Keeping her informed.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Have you told her about the bonus buy? Have you told her what you might be doing with it?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05- I couldn't describe it, to be honest.- No, well, you don't want her to feel ill.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- Not on a business trip.- No, you don't want any negative calls.- No, quite.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13First up, though, is the Moorcroft pansy pots
0:35:13 > 0:35:14and here they come.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Moorcroft pottery, jug and bowl. There we are.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21I've got several commissions on this. I can start at £80.
0:35:21 > 0:35:2485. At 85, there. 90 on commission. 95?
0:35:24 > 0:35:2795, 100, I'm bid. And 5?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30£100 with me. And 5 I'm bid in a fresh place. At 105.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Come on.- 110 anywhere else? 110, fresh bidder.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36At 110. 115 anywhere else?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38At £110. All done at 110?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40GAVEL BANGS I can't bear it. £120 paid.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- That's 110. You're minus £10. - Not bad.- I hate Moorcroft.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47139, ladies and gentlemen, there we are.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Of shipping interest, of course. This is the cameo.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52This is a good thing.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Great Eastern Steam Ship, 1860.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57£10 I'm bid straightaway. At 10.
0:35:57 > 0:36:0212? 10 is all I have. At 10. 12. 15 is the next bid.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0515, 18, 20, 22, 25? 25.
0:36:05 > 0:36:0828. 30? At 28 here.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- 30. 32?- Come on.
0:36:10 > 0:36:1330, your bid. 32. 35? 35. 38?
0:36:13 > 0:36:1638. 40, now. 42.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19£40. It's here. £40 only, then, at 40...
0:36:19 > 0:36:22£40. It's a profit, though, James. Well done.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24That's plus 15, which means that overall you're plus 5.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- You're £5 up and it comes to this case.- Now we're in trouble.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Lot number 140, ladies and gentlemen,
0:36:31 > 0:36:35is the Chinese carved hardwood case. There we are.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39£20 now do I hear? At £20 anywhere. Straightaway, £20.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42I'm bid 20. 22 is the now. Super thing.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- At £20. 22.- Come on.- 25. 28. 30 now?
0:36:45 > 0:36:4828 here. At £28 there. £28.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53- Ooh, internet.- 35 on the internet.
0:36:53 > 0:36:5635. Are you bidding? At 35 on the internet.
0:36:56 > 0:36:5838. 40 now do I hear on the internet?
0:36:58 > 0:37:0040. 40, if you like. 40? 40 bid there.
0:37:00 > 0:37:0342, 45? 45. 48? 48?
0:37:03 > 0:37:0748. 50, now? 50, bid. 52. I'll take 52 off you.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10£52, it's going to be sold. At 52...
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- £52, then. It's gone.- Not good. - That is not good.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17You're minus 48 on that, which means overall, you're minus 43.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20What are you going to do about the Noh mask?
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Are you going to say yes or no?
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Yes.- Yes?- It's unusual, isn't it? Come on! Yeah.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- You're going to do it?- It's a comedy piece, so we'll go with it.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32OK, we're going for the Noh mask.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35The Japanese Noh. There we are. It's a porcelain mask.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39What's it worth to you, ladies and gentlemen?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41£20 to start it off, somebody, at £20.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42At £20, anybody, at £20?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44At £20, do I hear now, at 20?
0:37:44 > 0:37:4520 anywhere now do I hear?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49At £20. There's a deathly silence in the room and I don't like it.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Come on, now.
0:37:50 > 0:37:5310, somebody. £10 now do I hear?
0:37:53 > 0:37:5510 I'm bid, thank you very much indeed.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- I've got not a lot of faith in this. - 12 is the now.
0:37:58 > 0:38:0012 anywhere now? £10 only, at 10.
0:38:00 > 0:38:0212 on the internet.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0412 on the internet. 15 now, Alan?
0:38:04 > 0:38:05LAUGHTER
0:38:05 > 0:38:09A lonely bid on the internet there. At £12 only, it will be sold.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10- At 12. - GAVEL BANGS
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Minus 20. Minus 20. - What a dreadful day.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Gives minus 63.- I am sorry. - It's all right. - They're just not bidding.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Minus 63 could be a winning score
0:38:18 > 0:38:23because if they're not bidding for you, they won't be bidding for the blues.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36Are you predicting any great profits on any particular item, Rach?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Who can say? I hope so. - Yeah.- I really do hope so.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41That's a good shifty answer, that.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45If there's anything that's listed to make a decent profit,
0:38:45 > 0:38:49it's that sauce boat and it's the first object up and here it comes.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Georgian design silver sauce boat, Sheffield, 1971.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56What may we say for it? £80 I'm bid straightaway.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57At £80. 85 is the now.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00At 80 to have. £80. 85 is the now.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02At £80, then, I'm bid at £80.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0585 there, now. At 85. 90 is the now.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- One more go.- At 85. It should be more than this, surely?
0:39:08 > 0:39:12At £85. Bid's there at £85. I'm going to sell it at 85.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Last chance at £85. Your bid.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- £85.- Disappointing. - But still plus five.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Nothing the matter with that. Now your ring casket.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26The mid 19th century mother-of-pearl ring casket.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28I've got £30 bid for this straightaway.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31At £30 with me. 2, there. At 32. Your bid at 32.
0:39:31 > 0:39:3435 is the now. At £32 only.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36At 32. 35. 38. 40, now.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- 40 bid. 42.- It's going up slowly.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42At £42. Bid's there at £42.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Bid's there at £42. Last chance at 42.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- £42.- Oh!
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Bad luck. You're minus 20 on that, so overall, you're minus 15.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Now, the bud vase.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Powell vase, there we are.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Early 20th century Powell and Co vase.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58£30 I'm bid straightaway.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Worth a lot more in my opinion but £30 we'll start it at.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02At £30, the bid's here. At £30.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04At 32. Your bid at 32.
0:40:04 > 0:40:0635 anywhere now? 35. 38?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- 38 your bid.- Come on.- At £38.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1140. 42?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- 42.- Oh!- 45. 45.
0:40:13 > 0:40:1648? 45, there. 48, yes?
0:40:16 > 0:40:1845. I'm going to sell at 45.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- At 45.- You never know.- 48. 50, now?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24I still think it's reasonable. At £48, bid's there.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26At £48, I can't look at you any harder.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31£48 is minus 12 on that, which means you're minus 27.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Minus 27. That's nothing.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37That is not a bad tally. Don't be depressed.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39What are you going to do about the Loetz vase?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- Are you going to risk it?- Yeah. - Go on, then.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- It is 40 smackers spent.- We'll go with Pauline. Pauline wants to.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- You like it, do you?- Yes, I do. - OK, this is Pauline's choice.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Let's be quite clear. No pressure, Pauline.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57The Loetz iridescent glass posy holder
0:40:57 > 0:41:00and I have a commission on this, in fact I have more than one,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02and I can start the bidding at £40.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- Whoo!- I'm straight it at 40. 42 is the now.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0842 anywhere do I hear? At £40, the bid's here.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11At £40. 42, 45, 48, 50, bid.
0:41:11 > 0:41:1355 is the next bid.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- At £50. Still with me on commission. - Hey, Pauline!
0:41:16 > 0:41:1855 anywhere else?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20At 50. Bid's with me at £50.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22And it will be sold, make no mistake. At 50.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24On commission at 50.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Yes!- £50, eh, Pauline?
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- Well done.- That's plus ten. That's very good.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34That makes you only minus 17 and that could be a winning score,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- so don't talk to the reds. - OK.- Well done, Pauline.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- Well done, David.- Thank you, David. - Well done, Rach.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42Thank you!
0:41:50 > 0:41:52PIGEONS COOING
0:41:52 > 0:41:56The sound of cooing pigeons in the adjacent churchyard.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Now who got buried today in the auction?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Have you lot been chatting to one another?
0:42:02 > 0:42:03- No.- Not at all?
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Well, the runners up today are the reds.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08HE GROANS
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Or should I say "the red"?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15There's a lot of minus signs on your side of the water, I'm afraid,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17and they total minus 63.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21You did get a little profit on the Scrimshawed cowry shell,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23though that should've been more.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25- You were a bit robbed, there. - Yeah.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28But you're a good sport and very broad-shouldered
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- to bear the burden without your sister.- It's a lot to take on.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35It's a lot to take on but I hope you had a lovely time.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- It's been fantastic.- And thank you very much, James, too.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- But the victors are the blues. - Yes!
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- And you win by only losing £17.- Yes!
0:42:44 > 0:42:46It's good that, isn't it? Only 17.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50It started off so nicely with that £5 profit on your sauce boat
0:42:50 > 0:42:52but it gradually went down the old lavatory
0:42:52 > 0:42:54until you came to the bonus buy, David,
0:42:54 > 0:42:58and a £10 profit on that little green vase helped.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Anyway, you've won. Minus £17, which is not a bad score.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04In fact, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Yes!
