0:00:03 > 0:00:07Make the biggest profit or the smallest loss?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Either way, you're still a winner.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:34 > 0:00:40We've raced along the A1 to the historic town of Stamford in Lincolnshire.
0:00:41 > 0:00:47I'm about to let two lads loose in this fair with £300 to spend.
0:00:47 > 0:00:53Their challenge? To find three items to take away and sell at auction for a profit.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58But don't worry, I've got their parents along to supervise. Here's what's coming up.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Dad Terry takes charge of son Dan.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We'll dismiss that straight away.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Mum Dee gets to grips with son Neil.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Let's have a look at this one. - It's time to go.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And the Blue Team are off to a flying start.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Thank you very much. Good luck.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Unlike the Red Team.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Thank you for your time. Shall we carry on outside?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Just have a go.- I really think we should move away from it.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Let's get on with the show.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38So, if you want to win at this game, would you enlist your father
0:01:38 > 0:01:41or would you enlist your mother? How sweet!
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- So you two are pretty close, aren't you?- Yes, Tim, we are. Yes, yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- You're active and sporty together? - Yeah, we do a lot of cycling
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and Danny does a bit of running and swimming.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Tell me about this cycling lark then.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Well...- We've got a cycle tomorrow, 50-miler round Northamptonshire.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Have you?- Yeah. - Is that for a charity? - It's for a local charity, yeah.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- You like to help to care for people, don't you?- Yes.- It's your career.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12I first started off about 25 years ago and I bought a house.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17We decided we'd rent out a room, then we decided we'd rent out another room
0:02:17 > 0:02:21and all the people coming into the house had mental health problems.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24It took off from there and escalated.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- You've made a business out of it? - Yes.- How nice to have a business that is caring in that way.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- You have a passion for the job. - I do. I still enjoy it after all these years.- 26 years?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- That's right. Not long(!) - It's a good old innings.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41But during your 26 years of caring for other people,
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- you've also done a fair amount of collecting, Tel.- I have, yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- I collect sovereign cases.- How many cases have you got?- 220 altogether.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- How much?- 220. All different and all British hallmarked.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Really?- Yeah, I don't collect any... - Any old rubbish.- Any old rubbish.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04- They send them in from France in brass and Germany... - Stick with the British!- Too right!
0:03:04 > 0:03:10Danny, you've got an excellent team-mate here. Do you share your father's passion for collecting?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I have miniature alcohol bottles in my room.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Generally, full or empty?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Empty.- Some used to be vodka, which are now water. Put it that way.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23You've just graduated or are about to finish the course?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Yeah, I did a Masters in Global Security.- What does that mean?
0:03:27 > 0:03:33- Global terrorism, that sort of thing.- Really? This is how to protect us or how to do it?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- This is what we need protecting from.- Good. I'm pleased to hear it!
0:03:37 > 0:03:41You've got climate change, terrorism, that sort of thing.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- It all sounds a bit "James Bondy", but you don't get an Aston Martin with it.- Unfortunately not.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52- This is going to start him off in the antique trade. It's a shove in the right direction.- Yeah, lovely.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- You're very competitive, you two, aren't you?- Yes.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- Are you in this to win it?- Oh, yes. - Definitely?- Definitely, yes. - Are you going to beat this family?
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- We'll leave 'em for dead. - I love that fighting talk, Tel. Thank you very much.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- So are you quaking in your boots, guys?- Yes.- No.- I love it.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16You two have a lot in common, apart from mother and son?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Yes, we both like heavy metal music.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Any particular group?- Yes, Cradle Of Filth and Ozzy Osbourne.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Cradle Of Filth?!
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- I'm afraid so.- Do you mind my asking you how old you are, dearie?- 61.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36You're 61 and your favourite pop group is Cradle Of Filth?!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- I'm afraid so, yes. - What about your soft toys?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Yes, I collect Steiff when I can afford it
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and anything else that's unusual.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I don't have the normal, sort of teddy type things.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54I have anything that's slightly quirky, unusual, and I collect that.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Neil, you like to be in the driving seat.- I do.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03- Ordinarily, on a bus?- Yes, I used to be a bus driver. Last year, unfortunately, I lost my licence.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09- I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the end of last year.- Oh, bad luck!
0:05:09 > 0:05:13So I lost my licence. I can't drive buses now for about 20 years.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16That's seriously bad luck, isn't it?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- What's your career plan now then? - It is to go back into security.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24I was a security guard before I was a bus driver.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28I had to go to college and get my SIA licence.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33I've passed all my courses and I'm now a fully qualified door supervisor.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Brilliant. That should help you get some pretty good deals today. - Oh, yes.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- You can always frighten them into submission.- Absolutely.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- Anyway, here's the money moment, £200 apiece. Here's your £200. - Thank you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:52You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Oh, they're a bit rude.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Oh, oh! Yes, erotic.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Catherine Southon is keeping the Reds on the straight and narrow.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- Poor chap, look at him. He's been through the wars. - He's a bit threadbare.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Nick Hall avoids the soft options.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21- £300 - what do you want to spend the money on?- A nice, big fireplace. - A fireplace?- A big fireplace.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24That's very specific.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Look at this. - It's certainly unusual.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34We spoke about period glass, but there is definitely a vogue for...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- That's nice.- ..post-war studio glass by specific makers.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- I don't know who that is by, but it's a striking bit of glass.- It is.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48- I like that.- Yeah.- What do you think? Does it grab you?- Yes, it does. I like that.- It does.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Jeepers creepers, she's not joking!
0:06:50 > 0:06:55- I like that.- Isn't that unusual? - That's lovely.- Very unusual. - I like that.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00I see and value and sell hundreds, if not thousands of pieces of glass.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06- I've never seen one structured like that before.- That's lovely. - It's unusual, very unusual.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10It's weird, isn't it? I can't quite make out if I love it or loathe it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- It's got...- You could imagine that in a minimalist flat.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Yeah, very contemporary.- Lovely. - Contemporary chic, like yourself.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Oh, thank you very much.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26What have we got? I can't find any maker's marks. There's no signature on the base.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29So it's hard to know exactly who made it and where.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35I don't know if there's any information on the ticket. It just says a "glass ball tower", 36 quid.
0:07:35 > 0:07:41- Would you be willing to take quite a sensible offer on it? - I'd probably do that, yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Like £30?- Do you two like this?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I do.- Yeah.- Do you think it might be worth a punt?- It would be, yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- How would £20 sound, to give us half a chance?- Awful.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Go on. - It's a cold, windy day.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59I'm an old-age pensioner and I'm cold, look!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I can do 30 on it. I can't...
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- What if we met you in the middle? 25?- Yeah.- Yeah, go on.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Good man. Shake his hand. - Thank you very much.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Dee liked it and Dee got it. Have the Reds made any decisions yet?
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- I don't think that will fetch 50 quid.- Can we have a think about that?- Of course.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Which way do you want to go? - Any way at all.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25We'll have a little think about that one.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Uh-oh, Catherine! You've got some indecisive shoppers on your hands.
0:08:30 > 0:08:37- You like your blue and white.- I do. - It's a sweet little thing. Do you know what this is?- A pickle dish?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Spot on, a pickle dish. But what a quirky little antique, isn't it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:47- Yes, that's nice.- A pottery and porcelain dish made just for putting your pickles in.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Fantastic, isn't it? It's got a bit of age to it as well.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55It probably dates to the very early 19th century, the late Georgian era.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- I know you like your blue and white. - Yes.- Definitely.- That's lovely.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Neil, are you taken by the pickle dish?- It is different.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- OK. Is there a price on there? - There is.- How much?- £40.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10£40 - that's what you expect to pay at a fair.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Bear in mind we've got to go to the auction.- Yeah.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Do you like it?- It's nice, yeah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- It's light.- It's thinner than what I thought it would be.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- It looks in good condition. - It's remarkably in good condition.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27If the price was OK, how would you feel about it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- I would say yes. - Yes, yes, I like it.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Would 26 buy it? - I'll do 28.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- 28.- That's not a bad price.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41- I think she's done us proud. - Yeah.- Are you going to shake her hand?- Yeah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Thank you very much. Good luck.
0:09:46 > 0:09:53Item number two, a pickle dish, and they've preserved plenty of time for that last buy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57That writing box, it's got the original leather cover,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00but I just think it's in probably very good condition
0:10:00 > 0:10:04because it's got this beautiful, old leather case.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- It looks like burr walnut. It may even be rosewood.- Right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- It's nice quality. It's lovely quality.- Yes.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Then you open this up...
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I think there probably would have been some sort of tray here.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- That's right.- You've got the bottles.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23What worries me is that they're not all the same tops.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Then you press this button and that comes out.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- OK.- It looks pretty decent. - It's a bit incomplete inside.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32This is £240? It is.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35What would be your best price?
0:10:35 > 0:10:41I know it has the tray missing which I took into account. They're £350 when they've got their leather case.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44They are rare. What price would you do it for us?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47We have a limited amount of money today.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Could you do 180?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I will do 185, but that is my bottom line.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Danny, what do you think? - Go for it. We could talk about it for ten minutes. Just go for it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01My thoughts exactly, Danny.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Are you happy?- Yeah. - Are you sure?- Yes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09I think he's happy, but it's a purchase anyway. Hurrah!
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- What do you think? - I quite like that.- It's very nice.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It has all the pieces with it. They're nicely turned, lathe-turned,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21with some quality as well.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Are they heavy? They're not that heavy.
0:11:24 > 0:11:30Some of them have got weighted bases, then you know they're from one of the top manufacturers.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34But they're a nice little set. Is there a price on them anywhere?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36£45.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39That doesn't sound too dear to me. What do you think?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I don't know how much you like it, really.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- What do you think? - I like it. I do like it, yeah.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Do you like it enough to buy it? - I think so.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54I would be happy with it if you think it's going to make us a profit.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- I think the price isn't excessive at all.- No.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I thought they might have been asking more.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06- Could you tell us anything about the history of the chess set?- I don't know anything about it at all.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- You're as much in the dark as we are!- You could tell me about it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Checkmate, Nick! You are the expert.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20My only thought was, do you think that has been later carved? I'm not sure that's an original.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25- To the other one?- Yeah, they're slightly different.- And the colouring is slightly different.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- That was my only concern.- Yeah. But it came from a good auction.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I was thinking maybe about 30 quid.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I don't think we could do it for 30. Not all of it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38What about 28?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- LAUGHTER - Checkmate, yeah.
0:12:42 > 0:12:49My husband who's wandering around and he's disappeared a bit quick would be a little bit disappointed.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- I've got a walkie-talkie. - Do you want to give him a ring? - Yes.- Would you? Thanks.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Do you like it?- That's unusual.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Just a brush? What, for a horse or for a human?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Shall we pass on that one then? - Pass, yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Yes, trot on.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Hello.- Technology failed us.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- Oh, no. You've got to make an executive decision.- I have and I'm always used to making them.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24- I'm more interested in the chess set than the table. - The chess set is more interesting.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27So, 35 and you get to keep the table.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33- I think 40.- 40 quid? - 40 for the pieces. I think they're good quality pieces.- I do like it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39It's nice to play with and it's also a good display because some of the display ones you can't play with.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- But that one, I think, is worth that. - It's good advice. I agree with all of this.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- But it's if you like it or not, whether you want it?- Yeah? - I chose the blue. You...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53OK, yeah. We'll say yes on that then.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Shake this lovely lady's hand. - £40. Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So Neil makes his move.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02£40 and it's game over.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- Brilliant. That's the last one. All done and dusted.- Yeah.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09And we've got half an hour left.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Ooh, they are smug!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- That's a nice little object. - It's a good name.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Mappin & Webb. It's not very old.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22That comes with the...? The little cream jug comes with it, yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- It's quite sweet, isn't it? - It's very sweet.
0:14:25 > 0:14:31- '60s.- It would be nice, wouldn't it? - '60s?- Yeah, you can tell by the thing inside there.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33What can you do on that?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Again, I could do that for 60.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42- Do you want to have a think about that?- What do you think, Dan? - We could come back to it.- OK.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Sorry, Danny. Catherine's got her teeth into this.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Even more, 45?- Oh, Catherine...
0:14:50 > 0:14:54If it's the difference between a sale and no sale, then all right.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- 45 then. - I think you should go for it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- It's a good price.- Are you sure?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Sure?- Yes, go for that one then. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08These boys could be on a roll.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11One to go, guys!
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- We've got £70 left. - We've got £70 left now.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19- And about 40... I don't know. - And about 20 minutes.- 20 minutes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- I love these things.- Globes. Philips, great name.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- What have we got? 70?- Yes.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29If you could knock off a hundred, plus ten, we might be about there.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31< We can go to 170 if you like.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- What about this then? - What on earth is that?
0:15:34 > 0:15:39It's what you use for cutting the grass and things, Danny.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- A lucky escape then for you, Danny. - What price could you do on that? - Or maybe not.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48You wouldn't just show us how it works, would you? Do the old...
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I'm not a farmer, you know. Go on.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- He's asking quite a lot here. - That's it, the long grass.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- Do you really like that? - I think it's absolutely fantastic. - Do you?- Yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It's a bit different from a sovereign holder, I suppose.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I think it's... - Just have a go.- No, thanks.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13- I think we should move away, but if you want to go for it, we can.- Try it, Catherine. See what you think.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- To get me really excited about it... - Pretend you're cutting the lawn.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I see you've never cut the lawn!
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- You are so right. You are completely right.- It's great, isn't it?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Oh, I could do with you in my garden, Catherine!
0:16:28 > 0:16:33On the scale of one to ten, I would say "one", but if you like it...
0:16:33 > 0:16:38- Only because it's not my... - I'd say nine out of ten for that. - Go for it then.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42We've got five or ten minutes. We'll have another look round.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- I wouldn't even look at that, to be honest.- I think it's useless, to be honest.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50£75, £100, easy, I'd say, at auction.
0:16:50 > 0:16:56- Really?- Unless the Grim Reaper is going to be in the auction room, I can't see that getting £100.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Do you want to get it? We've got ten minutes left. I know nothing about scythes.
0:17:01 > 0:17:07- Let's hope he hasn't sold it.- I don't think you need to worry about that. - LAUGHTER
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- We were panicking. We thought you'd sold it.- I wasn't panicking.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16- I've never seen anyone quite so enthusiastic about a scythe. I think you should buy it.- £20.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Do we have a deal? We do. Thank you very much.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Can I take it with me now? You can indeed.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Come on then, gang. Let's go.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- # Heigh-ho, heigh-ho - It's home from the shop they go... # With a scythe!
0:17:33 > 0:17:36That's it. Time's up.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Did Mum make all the right moves or did Dad do all the damage?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Let's check out what the Reds bought, eh?
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Eventually, Terry and Danny bought a writing box and case
0:17:49 > 0:17:51for £185.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Catherine got her teeth into a silver chocolate pot and creamer.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57£45 paid.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- I think it's fantastic. - I think you should buy it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03And Terry did, for £20, the Grim Reaper!
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- You haven't bought the scythe? - A lovely scythe, Tim.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Is this cutting edge or what? - It certainly is.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Oh, Lordy! How much did you spend all round?- 250, wasn't it?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- 250.- £50 of leftover lolly. I'll have that.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Thank you very much. How much did you spend on the scythe?- £20.
0:18:21 > 0:18:27- That's not too bad.- A fantastic bargain. That's £100 of anyone's money, that scythe is, Tim.- Oh, yeah?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- He is so passionate about that. - And it's been restored as well.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Yes, lovely. Good. Sounds great.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40- I think the scythe will be good, but I think the box, the first one we bought...- You hated that.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42You've convinced me that it's good.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48- Don't fall out!- I don't know much about antiques. These two know what they're talking about.- Lovely.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- There's £50, Catherine.- Thank you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:56- Have you got a plan?- I am going to buy something for Danny because he hasn't really liked anything so far.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- So it's all for Danny. - It's all for Danny Boy.- Danny Boy.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- We'll be breaking into song! Good luck, Catherine. Good luck, chaps.- Thank you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09Why don't we check out what the Blues bought, eh?
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Mum liked the colourful glass form. £25 paid.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Does it grab you? - Yes, it does. I like that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18And also getting the thumbs-up...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Yes.- Yeah.- Yes, I like it.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23..was the pickle dish, bought for £28.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26And Neil paid £40 for a chess set.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Cash, not "check"-mate!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Hey, what's all this then? Too much relaxing?
0:19:32 > 0:19:37What are you doing, Dee? Making a Harvey Wallbanger or a nice little margarita?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40We've got to give him some sustenance.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45- Did you have a good time?- Fantastic. - Yes.- How much did you spend?- £93.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- How much?!- £93. - That is a pathetic amount of money.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52So I want £207 of leftover lolly.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Which is your favourite piece, Dee? - The glass.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Which is yours?- The chess pieces.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- Which piece is going to bring the biggest amount?- The glass.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- I think the chess pieces. - There we go. We've got family friction already.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- There's a wodge. - Thank you, Tim. Wonderful.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16- Will you do your sterling normal stuff with this and spend most of it?- I'll spend the lot, hopefully.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Don't you love the man? That's absolutely superb. Have a great time, kids.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25We're going to head off now to the flat plains of Cheshire.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Arley Hall was built around 1840,
0:20:31 > 0:20:36but some of the materials used in its construction came from a medieval house
0:20:36 > 0:20:39that had stood here for hundreds of years.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47So it should come as no surprise to us that littered around the new hall
0:20:47 > 0:20:52are items which had been around for a long time in the old hall.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58But on the face of it, this piece of furniture is not at all special -
0:20:58 > 0:21:03simple, nailed together planks of oak
0:21:03 > 0:21:08with slightly oddball reproduction brass handles.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13But as they say, you can never tell a book by its cover,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17so let's have a go at peeling this back.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19There we go.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23The front flap rises up to reveal a keyboard.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Look at that. But this is very special, isn't it?
0:21:27 > 0:21:32This is a keyboard, the like of which we have never seen before perhaps
0:21:32 > 0:21:37because each of the keys at the front is veneered in pear wood
0:21:37 > 0:21:41and behind, these are solid ivory tablets,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44literally, little tusks from an elephant.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48And the front board itself is naively painted
0:21:48 > 0:21:51in a sort of Renaissance style,
0:21:51 > 0:21:58but centred, where you'd expect to find the maker's name in a later instrument, with a Tudor rose.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Now...we've got the opportunity of revealing the interior.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Ka-boing!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11What do you think about that?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Isn't that magnificent?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And just look how early it is!
0:22:16 > 0:22:191675.
0:22:19 > 0:22:251675 - so this thing is 335 years old.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Amazing.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31The first thing that grabs me is the inside of the cover, look,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35crudely painted, but with an aristocratic scene
0:22:35 > 0:22:39with characters walking across a classical landscape,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43the odd dog being sick,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46a man over there fishing.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49And the centre section, the sound board itself,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52is overlaid with these strings,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55plus, of course, the name and date of the maker.
0:22:55 > 0:23:01An interesting story about this instrument is that a similar one was installed
0:23:01 > 0:23:05about five miles that way, the other side of the M6,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08in a place called Tabley House.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12And the ladies in Tabley House, five years before this one was made,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14were showing off their instrument.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Therefore, the ladies of Arley just had to have one too.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23And for those of you who know about playing the piano,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27you know that when you press the key, up comes the hammer
0:23:27 > 0:23:30and it hits the string, hence you get the noise.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35But if you come down here and have a look at those little fellows
0:23:35 > 0:23:40just in there underneath that bar, they're called jacks.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46And it's that rising jack with this sticking-out piece of quill
0:23:46 > 0:23:48that plucks the note.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Like this. - PLAYS NOTE
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Making that curious, tinny type of sound.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57So what's it called?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Clearly, not a piano.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03This instrument is called a virginal.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yes, a virginal.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Why a virginal?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Well, it's supposed to date back
0:24:10 > 0:24:16to the time that "virginalis...vox" sang.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21And the voice of a virgin is supposed to have a special timbre to it
0:24:21 > 0:24:28and hence, these early plucked string instruments are called virginals.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Now, I quite fancy myself as a bit of a pianist, so let's have a go.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36You go round that side and I'll sit down here. Off you go.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42MEDIEVAL MUSIC
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Eat your heart out, Jools Holland!
0:25:07 > 0:25:11We've motored 25 miles south to sunny Market Harborough
0:25:11 > 0:25:15to be with Mark Gilding in the great family firm of Gildings Auctioneers.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21- Lovely to be here.- Good morning, Tim.- Terry and Danny for the Reds, first up, went with this wee box,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23described as "burr maple".
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Yeah, I think it's burr walnut. Bit too dark.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Looks walnut, not maple, to me.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- It's got most of its fittings. - It has, but a great-looking thing on the outside.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40- I suppose that's why the box is in such good nick because it's got this tatty old leather thing.- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44So, gird up your loins. What's your best estimate?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46150 to 200.
0:25:46 > 0:25:52- They paid £185, which is pretty well on the money.- Yes.- They'll be lucky if they get that back.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Next is the little chocolate pot and cream jug
0:25:56 > 0:26:00which has to be one of the world's most useless objects.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Yes. At least it's by Mappin & Webb.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- How do you rate it money-wise? - £30 to £40.- £30 to £40.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13£45 they paid, but you could be struggling, as it's in plate, for only £10 or £15 on that.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- We'll see what happens on the day. - He's not going to be led.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Lastly, the Grim Reaper is around for all of us.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- How much for the scythe?- I've said 30 to 40.- Have you really?- Yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Well, happy days! £20 they paid. I mean, for £20, it's neither here nor there.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Somebody's restored it, they've varnished it,
0:26:33 > 0:26:37they've painted the blade with silver paint,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40so it's looking at its very best for television.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42They've spent a lot of time for £20.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47But I fancy they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:26:47 > 0:26:53Hi, guys. You did very well. £250 you spent. You gave Catherine £50 to buy the bonus buy.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59- Let's find out what she bought. Tel, give that a bit of a pull, that rag.- Right.- Ta-da!
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- That's a flourish.- Lovely.- We have a pair of copper water jugs.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- But if I give you one and I give you one, if you turn them up...- Yes.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- You can see there a little name. What does it say?- "Cunrad."
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Not quite "Cunrad". Cunard. - Cunard, sorry.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- "Cunrad"?!- Cunard White Star.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- Very nice, very nice. - Now, Cunard White Star...
0:27:22 > 0:27:26We know Cunard, associated with the Mauretania, the Lusitania.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- White Star Line we know, associated with the ill-fated Titanic.- OK.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37I think a name like that on the bottom, Cunard White Star Line, should attract interest.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42- Are they for milk or water?- Just water jugs.- How much were they?- £40.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48- You don't look too impressed, Danny. - We'll wait to see the other... - That's OK.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Do you like them, Danny?
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- They're OK.- What about you, Dad? - I'll go for them.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58You don't have to decide right now. Pick them later if you want to,
0:27:58 > 0:28:05but for the audience at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's pair of...water jugs.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Mark, I have to be very careful what I say about jugs on this programme.
0:28:09 > 0:28:16- There is something special about them.- If we turn that up, both are stamped "Cunard White Star Line".
0:28:16 > 0:28:21You can't say they were on the Titanic and floated away and were picked up by a lifeboat,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24in which case they'd be worth about £200,000.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- Yes.- But they are old, aren't they?
0:28:27 > 0:28:33- They are old, yeah.- They could date back to 1910 to 1920 very easily.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- Yes, they're of that period.- I think quite a clever buy of Catherine's.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40If they didn't have that, they'd be plain old copper jugs.
0:28:40 > 0:28:47- What's your estimate on them?- 40 to 60.- With the White Star connection, £20 each is not a lot of money.
0:28:47 > 0:28:53- For the collectors, White Star Line is the magical phrase to attract them.- It is.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Good. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02Dee and Neil's first item is this, um...this, um...
0:29:02 > 0:29:04glass thing, actually.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Yes.- Which is a kind of desk ornament, is it?
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- It's a bit of an anywhere ornament, I think.- It is just a bit of decoration.- It is.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- What's the estimate?- 40 to 60. - Great. £25 they paid.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20It's a pretty good lump for £25, isn't it?
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- It's good value.- It is. Somebody else has made a profit out of that, so they've done well.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Next up is the sublime to the ridiculous in a way.
0:29:29 > 0:29:35The most traditional form of earthenware is transfer-printed, right?
0:29:35 > 0:29:40- It is.- There we've got a charming little piece of pearlware
0:29:40 > 0:29:45that would have had, I think, pickles in it around some smart, early Victorian table.
0:29:45 > 0:29:51- I think that's great. Don't you?- Yes, and there are specific collectors of pickle dishes.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- Yeah, they're all pickled.- Yeah.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58- So how much for that one, do you think?- 30 to 40.- Great. £28 paid.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03And lastly, it's the Edwardian chess set which is described as being complete.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- Yes, it's all there, but there is one replacement.- Yes.
0:30:07 > 0:30:14- If we look at these two horses, there is one here which is the original in boxwood.- Ah, yes.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20- And the replacement turned in beech wood.- That beech wood one does look really rough.- Well copied.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- But they could have used better material.- Yeah, it's a shame.
0:30:23 > 0:30:29- What do you think it will bring in the way of money?- I've said £40 to £60.- Good. They paid £40.
0:30:29 > 0:30:35- Very good.- So we are predicting with our Nick Hall a small profit on all three items,
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- which is quite unusual.- High hopes.
0:30:37 > 0:30:44But it may go disastrously wrong, in which case they'll need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50Now, Dee and Neil, you spent the most pathetic amount - £93. I mean, a shocker!
0:30:50 > 0:30:55You gave the man £207. What did Nick do with it?
0:30:55 > 0:31:00- Nick?- Are you ready for this?- Yes. - Are you sure?- Yeah... Oh!
0:31:00 > 0:31:05- Oh.- Nice.- Do you like?- I do, yeah. - Rather smart, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- That's not all. - No, no.- Right.- Ta-dum!
0:31:08 > 0:31:13- Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, we have the stand as well.- A lot better.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19The tray itself is original George III. The stand is later. It's a Victorian replacement.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25- But the tray is the key. It's original.- What wood is it? - Solid mahogany through and through.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31- The big question is how much did you pay?- I don't like to hold back. I spent the whole £207.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- What?- Not a penny left, I'm afraid. - The whole lot?- The whole lot, yeah.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- Did you?- We blew the budget, I'm afraid.
0:31:38 > 0:31:44- These two carefully garnered the 300 and only spent 97.- He spent it all!
0:31:44 > 0:31:50- You went straight out there... - Squandered the lot.- It is very nice. - Will we make any money on it?
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- Good question.- There should be a profit in it, but you never know with these things.
0:31:55 > 0:32:01- I would think 200 to 300. - There is potentially on a good day another £100 in this,
0:32:01 > 0:32:06which is where it gets interesting and where it will be a mighty difficult decision
0:32:06 > 0:32:09for you lot to have to make in a minute,
0:32:09 > 0:32:14but right now, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Nick Hall's investment.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Well, look at this, Mark,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20a really honest piece of Georgian mahogany.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24It is. Very nice. It's nice to see an honest piece, actually.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27It just makes a jolly good drinks table. Oh, yes.
0:32:27 > 0:32:34And it comes complete with a stand, look, on which the thing, hopefully, neatly sits.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Yeah, look at that. Just the job. Do you fancy it?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I like it. Good shape, good colour.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46What Nick's done is he's gone out and he has seriously blown a huge hole through the budget.
0:32:46 > 0:32:52I mean, he's torpedoed the budget, so I want you to think brave.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54150 to 200.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- £207 he spent.- Right.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Will he get there?- There's a good chance. I think I've been a bit mean.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05As long as we've got a couple of people here who like it, then...
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- It ought to make £220. - They should make a profit.
0:33:09 > 0:33:15- OK, brilliant. Anyway, you're taking the sale? - Yes, I am.- We're in safe hands.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28- Father-son combo, how is it working out on the nerves stake?- I've been having to calm him down backstage.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Have you?- Very excitable, Tim.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34I thought I would make a fortune on that scythe.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38That scythe, which you paid £20 for, he has estimated at £30 to £40.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43- Really? I knew it.- Brilliant. - I do find that pretty queer.
0:33:43 > 0:33:49- It's French-polished and everything. It's lovely.- Well, yes.- I'm with you on that one.- Anyway, he's done it.
0:33:49 > 0:33:56- If the worst comes to the worst, you've got those copper jugs.- Lovely jugs.- Here comes Catherine's box.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Presentation box, part-fitted and in a leather carrying case.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04And bidding opens me here at £85.
0:34:04 > 0:34:0685. 90. 95. 100.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08110. 120.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11130.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14At 130 here then. At £130 I'm bid. At 130.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16140, new bidding there at 140.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18150. Bid at 150 now. 150. 160 now.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22160. 170. 180? Bid now at 170.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Shaking his head, it's 170. With the lady at 170. I'll take one more.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29170 I'm bid. At 170. 180, thank you.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I'll wait for you this time.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36I'm bid then at 180. 190. New bidding at 190. 190.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Still seated at 190. Gentleman at 190, away at 190...
0:34:40 > 0:34:45- Well done, Catherine. £90. - £5!- We're in the money already.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- In the money already. - Oh, dear, that was close.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53Small, electro-plated chocolate pot and a cream jug. £10 I'm bid. 12.
0:34:53 > 0:34:5515. 18. 20. 2.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00£22 then. At 22. 5 to bid? At 22 in the room, at 22.
0:35:00 > 0:35:0325, new bidding here. 28. 30. 32...
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- It's worth double that. - This side then at 32.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10All out on my right at 32 and away at 32...
0:35:10 > 0:35:15£32 is sadly minus 13.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Is that all?- Here comes the scythe.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21A varnished ash handle. What do we say for this then?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23This is it.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- You tell me. All I can do is start here at £5.- No. Come on!
0:35:27 > 0:35:308. 10. 12. 15.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- 18...- Yes!- This side then at £18.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- I'm bid at £18.- It's really cutting edge, this, isn't it?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40At £18 and selling...
0:35:40 > 0:35:43£18 is minus £2. You were minus 8 before.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- You are minus £10 overall. No shame in that.- Not a nightmare, is it?
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- What about the jugs?- We've got to go for the jugs.- You don't have to.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55- Those jugs are worth £100 at least. - Well, no...
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- Terry...- Where does he get all these prices from?
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- On the basis that everything else has struggled.- Steady him down.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- How much did we get them for?- £40.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10They're worth at least £100. That's £60. We'll still make about 30, 40 quid.
0:36:10 > 0:36:16- We're only here once. We might as well.- I beg your pardon? - We're only here once.- On this Earth?
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- We're going to live like lions.- Are you sure?- A pair of jugs like that?
0:36:20 > 0:36:26- I know, but everything else has been a real struggle. Are you sure?- Yeah, go for it.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Terry is determined. - I'm with him for once.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33This is lovely. I love it when they're welded up from the hip.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Two lions going to the slaughter.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40- Talk about the Christians! Here we go then. That's a decision? - You're with me?- Yeah.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45- Are you doing it?- Yes.- We're going with the bonus buy. Here they come.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Cunard White Star Line, a pair of copper jugs.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- And bidding opens at £20. The pair of these at £20.- Come on.
0:36:53 > 0:36:5622. 25. 28. 30. 32. 35. 38...
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- It's flying.- 42. 45.- Look at this!
0:36:59 > 0:37:0148 here.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- With the lady at 48. I'll take 50. - Go on.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08It's 48 here. Are you bidding? I'll wait all day.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10At 48 and away at 48...
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- That's brilliant. Good girl. That is plus £8.- £8.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- How much did we win? - You are minus £2.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Which is only £1 each.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24I thought you knew something about antiques!
0:37:24 > 0:37:30- That was a bit of a roller-coaster. - That could be a winning score, so mum's the word for these Blues.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- No, I won't say a word. - Go out looking rather depressed.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Shouldn't be difficult for you, Terry.- Shouldn't be difficult.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- So, Blues, do you know how the Reds got on?- No. - We don't want you to know.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54- How are you feeling?- Good. - Feeling nervy?- Nervous now. - Looking forward to it.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59You got some pretty good estimates, I have to say, on your £93-worth.
0:37:59 > 0:38:04He is predicting a profit on every single item that you bought, which is lovely.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09Anyway, first lot up is the Italian studio glass whatnot and here it comes.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Italian studio glass ornament. Bidding opens here at £22.
0:38:13 > 0:38:1722 for the Italian glass here. At £22. 25. 28. Here at 28.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20£30. Bid in the room at 30. I'm bid at 30.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24£30. I thought this would make more, but £30 bid.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28It's in the room at 30 and I have to sell here. At £30...
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Well done. You made a £5 profit on that.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- Good start.- Yeah. - Next is the completely opposite end of the scale.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Staffordshire printware pickle dish, early 19th century.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Leaf-moulded form. And £18 opens the bidding.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47£18. I'm bid at 18. 20. 22.
0:38:47 > 0:38:53- 25. This side then at 25. - Come on.- 28 I'll take. 25 I'm bid.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57On my right at 25 and selling to the room at 25...
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Good Lord! £25 is minus £3. This is nail-biting, this is.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05You are plus 2 at this moment. Now the chess set.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08An Edwardian Staunton-pattern chess set.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12What shall we say for this? £50, is it? £18 bid then.
0:39:12 > 0:39:1420. 22. 25.
0:39:14 > 0:39:1728. 30. 32.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- 35. 38.- Come on.- 40.
0:39:20 > 0:39:2242. 45.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Standing then at 45.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Anyone else bidding? Right in the middle at £45...
0:39:30 > 0:39:33£45, that's very good. That's plus 5.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36God, he's sharp, this man.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Overall, it is plus £7.
0:39:38 > 0:39:45- Hey, we're in profit.- Listen, seriously, this could be a winning score, couldn't it? Yeah?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- It could be, yeah. - It's very nice to have plus £7.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53What are we going to do about the bonus buy, all £207-worth of it?
0:39:53 > 0:39:58- I don't think we should go for it. - Don't you?- No. - Wise words. Listen to him.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- Just walk away.- Really?- You've got a profit.- Don't you chip in now.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Let Dee make her own mind up.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11- Just her and the boy.- I'll go with you both and stick with what we've got.- Are you sure about this, Dee?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Do you want to go for it?- You only get one crack at this, you know.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17It's got a lovely folding stand.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19It's only £7, isn't it?
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- Go on then.- No, we'll go with it.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- You're going to go with it? - We're going to go with it.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- You want to go with the bonus buy? - Yes.- You do.- Really? Seriously?
0:40:30 > 0:40:35It seems to me we've gone all round the houses here, one way or the other.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40- You make the final decision. - You've got to make your mind up. - Go with it.- Stick.- Stick.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Which is it?- We'll stick.- Stick. - We're not going with the bonus buy.
0:40:44 > 0:40:50You're not going with the bonus buy. That is a decision now. Anyway, here it comes.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54George III mahogany butler's tray and a folding stand.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58And lots of bids on the book here. 100. 110. 120. 130. 140. 150.
0:40:58 > 0:41:03160. With me here at 160 now. At 160. 160.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08170 do I see? 160 bid and selling on the book here at £160...
0:41:09 > 0:41:14- Yes!- £160. That is minus £47.- Sorry. - No, you did the right thing.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Eventually, you guys made exactly the right decision
0:41:18 > 0:41:22and therefore, I congratulate you. That's really good.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Now, you have £7 to go home with, all right?- Yeah.
0:41:25 > 0:41:30- Just don't tell the Reds a thing. - No.- Cos that could be a winning score.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Well, what fun we've had today! Absolutely superb.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Now, have you been chatting at all? - No.- No.- No.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47So results are still secret between the two teams.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52Well, I can reveal that the scores are remarkably low today.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Both teams are in single digits.
0:41:56 > 0:42:03Just one of those single digits has a minus sign in front of it and that's for the Reds.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Sorry about that.- That's it, Dan.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Minus £2 is your score today
0:42:10 > 0:42:15which normally on Bargain Hunt would be a winning score,
0:42:15 > 0:42:17but it ain't good enough today.
0:42:17 > 0:42:23- Have you had a nice time?- Fantastic day.- Danny?- It's been great fun. - We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:23 > 0:42:30Well done, Catherine. But the victors today are actually going to go home with money - £7.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34And you managed to keep it secret too, Dee, which is really very nice.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40You didn't go with the butler's tray which was a very wise move and you preserved your £7 profit.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46- You've had a good time?- Smashing. - And you, Neil?- Brilliant.- You want to come back for more?- Definitely.
0:42:46 > 0:42:52- Well done, Nick. Thank you very much. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes!
