0:00:02 > 0:00:06I wonder if either of today's young teams will uncover an ancient antique?
0:00:06 > 0:00:08An aged collectable
0:00:08 > 0:00:10or even an old master!
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Less of the "old", thank you very much.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Today we're in the market town of Hungerford in Berkshire.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Both our teams are young and enthusiastic
0:00:44 > 0:00:47but will this be a help or a hindrance?
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Well, we'll soon find out! Coming up today...
0:00:53 > 0:00:57..James Lewis gets a bit greedy with the blues.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I wish you'd go and buy some silver, then I can buy this for me!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Colin Young's bonus buy has the reds worried.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Do you think it's going to be striking?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Oh, no, it is what I think it is! - Yes.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Yeah.- It is.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19And there's more than money at stake over at the auction.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23We have to take home a win. We have to. For my mum, and for the good of Dorset.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25The people of Dorset need a win.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- And here they are. Hello, everyone! - Hello!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31For the reds, we have the A to Z of teams.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Alexa to Zeb. How are you, guys? - Good, thanks.- Fine, thank you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Alexa, you're starting university. Tell us about that.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43For the second time. I went last September, decided to do law.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48But went to my first lecture, sat there, and thought, "No, don't think so!"
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- You gave it up?- I did, yes. I've taken another year out to save for a flat.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- I think I'm going to do accountancy this time.- Are you?
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- How's your maths? - Yeah, I can add up!- You can. Zeb,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Alexa is obviously a passion of yours.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11- But you've also discovered another, hopefully not another woman!- No!
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Scuba diving. I started that in the middle of last year.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19I guess you're looking forward to doing it somewhere warm?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Yeah, it's quite cold in the seas round Britain.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29- Especially.- You'll have to whip off to the Caribbean. Take Alexa away for a special trip.
0:02:29 > 0:02:35- Thailand would be nice.- Take her to Thailand. Take me, too!
0:02:35 > 0:02:41- What are your tactics today?- I've always thought spend big, earn big.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Good.- I don't like to spend very much.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- Alexa's completely opposite. - I wonder who'll win in this battle of wills?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- It'll be me.- It's generally Lexy that wins.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57There we go. You're beginning to learn your place in life! Lovely.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Very good luck. Now for the blues.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Clare and Ben. Clare, tell us about your love of birds, darling.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09It's all animals, really. I started a degree in animal behaviour.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I've worked at an animal sanctuary and looked after all kinds of animals.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- Snakes, American bald eagle, panthers.- Really?- The lot.- Gosh.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Would you get up close and personal with the bald eagle and the snakes?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I didn't get too close, but close enough.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- They can be a bit narky, those.- Yes.
0:03:28 > 0:03:35- Ben, you have a couple of jobs. - Yeah, I'm a painter and decorator, for the last ten years.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39And on the side of that, I'm DJ-ing. I've DJ'd all round the world.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44I have a night that specialises in the music from the alcohol prohibition period.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- So all the '20s, through to the late '30s.- Oh?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49We run a night called Speakeasy.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Sounds fantastic.- It's a good night. You should get down there!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Get down where? Where do I get myself down to?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- Bournemouth.- Ah, Bournemouth! That's where it's happening, is it? - It's the centre of the world.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06- So it's a bit of music and a bit of emulsion.- A lot of music and a lot of emulsion. Very emulsional!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09"Emulsional"!
0:04:10 > 0:04:15So we're going for retro for you, and a bit of vinyl for you if you can find it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- It would be nice. But I think gold and silver for me.- Oh, yeah?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- It's a winner every time. - Traditional heavy metal!
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Now the money moment. Here you go. £300 apiece. £300. Got that?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Very good luck.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Gosh, we're going to have fun today!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37So, they're off!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And all of Hungerford is their oyster.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44OK, team, what are the key items you want in the shopping basket?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Pottery.- Pottery. - Silver.- Let's go get some!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Anything that has a book price,
0:04:52 > 0:04:58like Beswick, Clarice Cliff, Moorcroft, you're very unlikely to find a bargain.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04- Go for the quirky. Go for the things that nobody has a book to look it up in.- OK.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10They've got firm plans and good advice, so no excuses!
0:05:10 > 0:05:16- There's some Chinese. More a case of minger than Ming, I think.- £34.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- What is it?- HMAS Australia. Ashtray.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26That's interesting, that.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31A man sticking his fingers down his throat! That's a Sunday morning feeling!
0:05:31 > 0:05:32"I feel terrible!"
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Charming(!)
0:05:34 > 0:05:36A hip flask just there?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It's reasonably cheap if you could get a bit off that.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42But is that real silver?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47It's not real silver, hence the price. But it looks quite a decent item.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It has got a stamp on the bottom.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56It's got a maker's mark, JD&S, which is James Dixon & Sons.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Sheffield. The retailer is Thomas Goode & Co, London.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02A decent little lot.
0:06:02 > 0:06:08- What's the price?- It's £35 at the moment. Do you think we could get it a bit cheaper?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I would hope so. I would think at auction you'd get 30 to £40 for it.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- There's a bit of a margin for you. - Does everything work on it OK?
0:06:16 > 0:06:22All looks good. A cork liner in there so you don't spill your spoils of the day!
0:06:22 > 0:06:28- Right.- I'd go for 25 first, and then...- Yeah.- No, go for lower.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Cheap deal.- 20, I reckon.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34That is pretty cheap. Still, don't ask, don't get.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Something that's got a real bling factor. That has a look about it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It's French in style.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Occasionally what you find is a nice early vase that's been converted
0:06:52 > 0:06:55with modern lamp pieces and modern wiring.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Unfortunately, that's modern all the way through.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04We prefer antiques on this programme, thank you!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Now, how are you getting on with that hip flask, Zeb?
0:07:07 > 0:07:13- Hello, again. The very best she could do is £25.- What do you think?
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- I like it for £25.- If it's going to make 30.- It's not silver. Good item.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I'll trust you. I'll go with that.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Ooh, you've piled on the pressure there, Alexa!
0:07:24 > 0:07:29I think it's fine. It's going to be a profit. Only a short one in it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- But you like it. - A profit's a profit.- Yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35And a loss is a loss, Alexa! Still, you can always blame Zeb!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Now, good work, chaps. The red team are off.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41What have we here?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I hope...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47We've got a Georgian caddy spoon.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Now, tea caddy spoons have been used from the start of tea, for obvious reasons.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Um, now, this one...
0:07:56 > 0:07:58..is an 18th-century one.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01We've got the little marks there. See the duty mark?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05That mark is there to say the tax has been paid on the silver.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07It's the head of King George III.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11And on the front we've got quite a smart armorial.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15£28. Well, it's very light.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Really light.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18But it's a Georgian one.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21A genuine 18th-century bit of silver.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Let's find out what it can be.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26What's the best on that?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28We want to make some money!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30That's the idea, Ben!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I can certainly do 25 on it for you.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38That's not much! Three quid! That wasn't worth the word coming out of my mouth to ask for a discount!
0:08:38 > 0:08:4123, to take a fiver off as it is, then.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47- It's only a fiver off.- Well, I think we can do that.- Do you want it? - I like that.- Deal!- Thank you!
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Well done, blues. Ben's diplomacy skills might just pay off there!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55That's one item apiece. Can the reds up the ante?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Ah, I may have found your Chinese item.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- Oh, no!- Has it got a crack? - It's got a crack in it! That is a great shame.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Maybe not?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I think I spy a bargain.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13No larking about. Get on with it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Excellent spot. - Right.- It's very nice.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22The condition is a little bit worn, it has to be said.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25That's a bit painful underneath.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Manufactured by Dunhill. Very famous for lighters.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31They do sell exceedingly well.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Once you get to this sort of size, at about ten centimetres,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39you're on to table lighters rather than pocket lighters,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41unless you've got big pockets!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44The reality is, you need a big pocket to acquire this!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's priced at 250.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52- Yeah.- It's a good item. We'd like to spend a lot of money, but it would be foolish to spend too much.- Yes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Leave it as a maybe. - Let's try it later.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Not sure their pockets are big enough for that price, Colin!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Are you keeping a close eye on the budget, blues?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03£49.50.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Brass bound oak games box.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Might be games, might be cigars.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I thought cigars initially.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- But it's rather swish.- It's nice.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18Flush handles at the side. And a vacant cartouche on the top, where the owners would put their initials.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23But the thing of real quality is that. The Bramah lock.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Bramah was the lock-maker to Victoria.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Royal lock-maker.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- 50 quid, though. - 50 quid is a lot of money.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36We need that considerably less than 50 quid if there's to be a chance.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41I quite like it. I like the fact someone can still engrave on there.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- But you're not sure. - It's a bit confusing.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- Is it a games box or a cigar box? It might put people off. - I agree with you.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52We need to find something to bung in it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Put a pack of cards in there, some dice, and other bits and bobs.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- We've got a little bit more time. We could come back.- Have a think. - Stick it on the chair.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Hope it doesn't get poached. - Hide it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- That hides it from the reds! - Good one!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- That's very cute! - Isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Is this original or has it been redone?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21It's definitely been restrung at some stage.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- It's a sweet little chair, isn't it? - Yeah, it is nice.
0:11:25 > 0:11:31Probably around 1870, 1880. A nice country-made piece of furniture.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I must admit, that's what drew me to it!
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Priced at that sort of money. I don't think that's too bad.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Do they come as a pair or more, or are they single?- Single side chairs.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46There was a variety of manufacturers across the country doing these in towns.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Right.- To designs. There's a bit of nibbling on here,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53but overall, the condition is pretty good.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56And I love the depth. Somebody, unfortunately,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59has had a scraping here trying to clean it down
0:11:59 > 0:12:01and gave up when it was hard work!
0:12:01 > 0:12:05But it's got a lot of good history behind it. I love things like this.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Is it all original or has some of it been repaired?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Well, I can't find anything wrong with it, to be honest.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17It looks a fairly tight chair, so if it has been repaired or stuck together again,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19it was a very long time ago.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- The seat is the newest thing that's been on it.- Right.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Great news is I've had a word with the dealer.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Managed to negotiate a bit of a discount on this one.
0:12:28 > 0:12:34- We've gone from £33 to £22. - Brilliant.- Really good. - What do you reckon?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- That's good.- I'd buy that chair for £22.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Yeah.- Got to be worth a gamble at that.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It's a good deal on the little chair.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Now, I've found a little gem of my own.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Are you a bird lover?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52If you are, you're certainly going to love this item.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Just look at these sweet little partridge!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59These are the British grey partridge
0:12:59 > 0:13:03and they've got the distinctive orange faces.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05What I like about them is
0:13:05 > 0:13:10that they've been cast in the most incredible detail in bronze
0:13:10 > 0:13:12and then coloured realistically.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Miracle of miracles,
0:13:14 > 0:13:19even though they were made between about 1920 and 1940,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22they've suffered no damage whatsoever.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27They're as crisp and as clean as the day that they were made in Austria.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32And, of course, these coal-painted Austrian bronzes
0:13:32 > 0:13:34are fanatically collected.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39I reckon if you split them up, took them off the Algerian onyx plinth
0:13:39 > 0:13:45and put them on separate plinths, they would be worth between 200 and £300 each.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50So what would the two, together, on this plinth, cost you in the antiques centre?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53This little covey could be yours for £100.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56What do you think about that, girls?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Perfick!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Top that, teams!
0:14:03 > 0:14:07The reds have slinked off to a rather swanky emporium.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I'd be surprised if they found a bargain amongst such high-end furniture,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17but what has Zeb found?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- This one?- I suppose the acid test as ever is...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Ooh, it's a bit of a dull ring.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- That means we've got a bit of damage in there.- Yeah.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You can see the two cracks in there.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Definitely a 19th-century thing.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I can't really see any restoration on it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Although...
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- That's a bowl that would easily be 300 to £400 in perfect order.- Yeah.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- But it isn't, so it won't be. It'll be a fraction of it.- Right.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- It's got a price tag on it. £95. - Right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- It's not going to race away and make you lots of money.- No.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53But it still could do quite well.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56How can you help us?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I could do it for... Let's see.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- £86 for you.- 86.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06- We were thinking, cos there's quite a bit of damage. - There's a hair crack there.
0:15:06 > 0:15:12There's a couple of them. We were thinking the 65, 70 region.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- No, I'm sorry.- A bit too painful for you.- A bit too painful, yes.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Would it help if I mention - cos I've only just seen it, actually -
0:15:22 > 0:15:25there is actually some restoration around there as well.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- It's been repainted.- Yes.- Will that help things along a little bit?
0:15:30 > 0:15:36I'll tell you what. The best price would be £80 and I'd have to stick at that.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Right.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Chinese porcelain is doing well at the moment.- It is.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46The best pieces are racing on and perhaps we might just ride our luck off the back of it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52So would you like to put this down for now, spend our last 15 minutes, we'll only be next door,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56and if it's last minute, we know this is here at £80
0:15:56 > 0:15:58for us to go for.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Don't leave it too late! We're strict on the rules here, you know!
0:16:07 > 0:16:12With his eye on the clock, James has done some haggling on the price of the box.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15But he needs a decision from his team.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- The box.- Yes?- 35. The very best. - Not bad.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- I like the box.- I like it too. - It's got a good history with the Bramah lock.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- We need to make a buy. - Let's get the box.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Let's get it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38What is it?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40This is absolutely revolting - sorry, revolving!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- It is horrible. - They sell well at auction.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- No.- Not your sort of thing. OK, let's move on.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Alexa has spoken. Move on.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Move on.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Guys.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Show us what you've got, James.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Now, do you still like it? - We like it.- Yeah.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- It sounds a bit more promising! - There's something in there.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Definitely.- Now how do you like it?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- It looks like a games box now. - Doesn't it?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- That's a bit more interesting. - Much better.- Same stand. Dominoes, not a complete set.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Some chess pieces. Again some alterations there.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19That's not a lot of money. And a pack of pretty modern cards.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- I like that.- That, now, when you look at that...
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's a gaming box.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27You can stick that in the boot, going on a picnic, and have some fun.
0:17:27 > 0:17:34It's got its original key. I agreed to pay her an extra £5. Is that all right?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- That's good.- Yeah.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It brings it together. Makes it a piece.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- £40.- £40.- Number two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- We can do it!- Here we go.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46We're rocking now. Let's go for number three.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Let's hope that's enough to convince the buyers it's not just a cigar box.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Ten minutes.- I say we go for an expensive item.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- Something quite in your face. - How much do you want to spend?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- 100 to 150.- 100 to 150.- 100 to 150.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Now, Colin's refereeing for the red team. My money's on Alexa.
0:18:08 > 0:18:15- I like the bowl. You've already had the hip flask, so it's my turn. And I say the bowl.- Fair enough.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Yeah.- We've tried to get that extra little bit out.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- If you can get that extra bit. - I'll smile. I'll try.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Use all your charms.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28We thought we'd come back for the bowl cos we really like it.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32What's the best, best price you could do for us?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- I quoted £80 last time, didn't I? - 75?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- ZEB:- Could you knock another five off?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I wouldn't normally do it, but I'll let you have it for 75.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Thank you.- I hope you do well on it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Thank you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49That was cutting it fine, you lot!
0:18:49 > 0:18:52All three purchases in the bag. Well done, reds.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Now, minutes to go. Come on, blues. You're lagging behind.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Guys.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Yep?- OK.- Ooh.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Now, I might be heart ruling head here.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Anybody who knows me on Bargain Hunt knows I have a passion for one thing.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Snuff boxes.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- We like snuff boxes. - We talked about those.
0:19:11 > 0:19:18- That, for me...- Stunning, isn't it? - It's an absolutely beautiful example.- Lovely.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Very nice.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22We're looking at a piece of French maple,
0:19:22 > 0:19:27steamed, pressed, and hand-detailed afterwards.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Amazing detail.- Stunning. - We have here
0:19:30 > 0:19:36a big four-mast man of war off the Bay of Naples.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40You can see these guys pulling on the ropes to pull him in.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45I've seen these snuff boxes for 280, £300.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- OK.- How much is that?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- I'm going to say about 100. - About 100.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53You are absolutely spot on, my friend.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- It's £100.- I like it.- We've got to take it.- It feels good, as well.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- It's got a good feel.- Lovely colour. - Really well made.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It's lined with tortoiseshell.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07It's got a tiny chip. That's fine. Absolutely fine.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- It's a lovely little thing. - I really like it.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13To be honest, from the off I'm going to say yeah because I like it.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- And you do too.- I love it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Do you know what I wish you would do?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21I wish you'd go and buy some silver, then I could buy this for me!
0:20:21 > 0:20:22I knew you'd want it!
0:20:22 > 0:20:26No time for that, James, because that's it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Both teams have finished their shopping.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32But how much leftover lolly is going to be passed to their experts
0:20:32 > 0:20:34to go and find that bonus buy?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36First up, the reds.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40The electroplated flask by James Dixon & Son
0:20:40 > 0:20:43is down to Zeb, at £25.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49For £22, let's hope the child's chair makes an adult's sized profit.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55And putting her foot down, Alexa picked the Chinese porcelain bowl
0:20:55 > 0:20:58for £75. It's a cracker! Literally.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02OK, A to Z, how did you get on?
0:21:02 > 0:21:08- I think we did well. We didn't spend that much money.- What makes you think you're going to do well?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I liked my Chinese dish. It was very nice.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Was that your favourite? - Yes, cos I picked it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:20- What about you?- I think the Chinese bowl is nice. But I think we've got a safe bet on the chair.
0:21:20 > 0:21:26- What did you spend overall?- £122. - That's not so much.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31- So I would like, please, £178. Who's got the 178?- Me.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35The future accountant is coming up with the cash. I understand that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- How was this team for you, Colin? - They were fantastic.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44- They knew exactly what they wanted and stuck with a bit of a plan, really.- That's great.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47What are you going to do with the cash? Will you blow the lot?
0:21:47 > 0:21:53That's a possibility. It's both ends of the spectrum. No half measure with this one.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55He's such a tease. Get on with it.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Good luck, you kids. Meanwhile,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00why don't we remind ourselves what the blues bought?
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Anyone for a brew? The George III tea caddy spoon cost £23.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12With a few additions, the oak box was transformed into a games box.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19And finally, for £100, James coveted the naval-themed snuff box.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Hands off, Lewis!
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Hey, what's it like back out in the fresh air?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It's nice. Beautiful. My eyes!
0:22:29 > 0:22:33My eyes! You're such a star. How did you get on? Finished up OK?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Yeah.- We did.- How much did you spend overall?
0:22:36 > 0:22:44- £163.- That's kind of average. 163. So I want £137, please.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- I've got the leftover lolly. - You've got it.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Thank you very much. Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- I think the snuff box.- I'm not sure. I think the games box now.
0:22:55 > 0:23:01- I think the games box will marginally get it.- We worked hard on that games box! We really did!
0:23:01 > 0:23:05It's quite fun, the idea of having a bit of a combo.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It's exactly what you can do in the business, so why not?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Why not?- It's exciting. - It is exciting.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Well done. James Lewis, the maestro.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18You've had a good poke around. Got some ideas on what to spend that on?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I have absolutely no idea at all.
0:23:21 > 0:23:28- The instructions are to buy something old! So they've left it wide open!- We want profits,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- James Lewis!- Old and profit. - Old and profit!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Anyway, good man for the job.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Well done, team. Meanwhile, we're shoving off to Snowshill Manor.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Have you heard of it? It's in Gloucestershire and it's fab!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51This lovely manor in Gloucestershire
0:23:51 > 0:23:54was home to the collector Charles Paget Wade.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59As a boy, his grandmother would let him peek into her Chinese cabinet
0:23:59 > 0:24:04and so grew a fascination of all things Oriental.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09But upstairs, the Orient becomes a bit more intimidating.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Meet the Samurai!
0:24:16 > 0:24:18So who were these Samurai?
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Strictly speaking, if you look at early Japanese history,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27they were, of course, the mercenary warrior class.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33But in Japan from about 1603 to about 1858
0:24:33 > 0:24:35they had a long peace.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40So these warriors weren't technically required to go into battle at all.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45But the ancient traditions, the ancient ceremonies of the Samurai
0:24:45 > 0:24:48continued as of old.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52And the most notorious of these traditions
0:24:52 > 0:24:58was Harakiri, the ritual suicide expected of those who flouted the code of honour.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03They certainly had a flair for the grand gesture
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and that's obvious in their spectacular battle dress.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14I mean, we're talking about intimidating the enemy here,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18before about 1600.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21One of the most scary of these characters, I reckon,
0:25:21 > 0:25:27is this fellow. The helmet has been decorated
0:25:27 > 0:25:29with this extraordinary bat
0:25:29 > 0:25:32with sticking-out ears
0:25:32 > 0:25:37and then growing out of his head are deer-like antlers
0:25:37 > 0:25:41with some fuzzy white hair stuck in behind.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42That's just the head-piece.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Imagine that cantering towards you!
0:25:46 > 0:25:48To protect the face,
0:25:48 > 0:25:54the armour has similarly been moulded to look as terrifying as possible.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58And the rest of the armour is similarly elaborate.
0:25:58 > 0:26:05The arms have been protected by sections which are hinged together,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08protecting the sides of the upper arm.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14And on the forearm, we've got long lengths which are strung together.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17If I squeeze that, you can see that the whole thing moves.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20It's all flexible.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25You'd think this would be a metal suit of armour, wouldn't you?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Well, you'd be wrong.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Because apart from the peak of that helmet,
0:26:30 > 0:26:36not one piece of this armour is made of iron or bronze.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41All of these sections that look like metal strung together,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45are, in fact, wood covered with lacquer.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48The whole thing is for show.
0:26:48 > 0:26:55If a Samurai, dressed in this lot, went into battle, and it happened to be raining,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59most of his armour would fall off about his person!
0:26:59 > 0:27:05So how many suits of this elaborate Samurai armour are there at Snowshill?
0:27:05 > 0:27:0736!
0:27:07 > 0:27:14How come? Well, apparently, the majority of them were bought in the 1940s
0:27:14 > 0:27:20when Japanese things just weren't the most popular things to go out and buy.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23The big question today is, of course,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26how many of our teams will need to jump on their swords
0:27:26 > 0:27:30and commit Harakiri today over at the auction?
0:27:35 > 0:27:40We've come a pretty convoluted route from Hungerford to Stratford-upon-Avon
0:27:40 > 0:27:45where it is a treat to be at Bigwood's auctioneers in Stratford
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- with Christopher Ironmonger. Good morning.- Morning, Tim.
0:27:49 > 0:27:56Nice to see you. Zeb and Alexa are excited. Their first item is the electroplated hip flask.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Yes. Plate sells moderately well, but not as well as silver.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Silver's shot ahead recently.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05But it's in good condition. A useful little item.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09We've estimated it at ten to 20. It's a good maker for plate.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Might it make 25?- It might do, yes. The right person will go a bit further.
0:28:13 > 0:28:20So there is a little hope. Fair enough. Next is the beech-framed child's chair.
0:28:20 > 0:28:27- A bit of rustic charm. - Indeed. Those chairs sell well when we have a toy sale.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31We've got dolls to put on them and so on. It is obviously a child's.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34It's had a bit of a hard life.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37We've perhaps been a bit mean on the estimate at five to ten,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39but it's in those parameters.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43- £22 paid.- We might just get through. - Right.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46That's two potential struggles to get what they've paid.
0:28:46 > 0:28:52What about the Chinese porcelain bowl? Chinese is the flavour of the moment.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Yes. Unfortunately, it does have some hairline cracks.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Not that obvious, but there are a couple there, which affects its value.
0:29:01 > 0:29:08We've said 30 to 40. It could do a little bit better, but I'm a little bit nervous on that one.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11£75 paid. I fancy we've got three struggles here,
0:29:11 > 0:29:17which equals a requirement to go with the bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23Now. You spent £122. You gave Colin Young £178.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- Colin, did you blow the lot? - Course I did!- Did you really?
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Every penny.- All 178 of it? - I did, yeah.- Gosh!
0:29:31 > 0:29:36- Is it the item we think?- Do you think it's going to be striking?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Oh, no. It is what I think it is! - Definitely.
0:29:40 > 0:29:46- Yes!- Yeah.- It is what you thought. But I loved it and had to go back.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- This is by the iconic firm, Dunhill's, right?- Indeed.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- It's petrol fired? - It is petrol fired.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59- It's 1925, 1940. So it's bang on that Art Deco period.- Yeah.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- You're both looking a bit nervous over this one.- Yeah.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06178 is a little bit more than we wanted to pay.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11I really would be amazed if that doesn't make a profit at that sort of purchase price.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Well, whatever. 178 is the price.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17The expert reckons you'll get a profit out of it.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Treasure those thoughts!
0:30:19 > 0:30:23For the audience at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of Col's lighter.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Well, there we go, Christopher. Strike a light.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31It's a very nice piece indeed.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I must admit when I saw this I got quite excited.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38The chagrined work, et cetera. Obviously it's Dunhill as well.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43Good mechanism. A little bit of distress here and there.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45But I think it could sell quite well.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- We've said 150 to 200. - That's not too bad.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52That is spot in the middle of what Colin paid, £178.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I think that was fair.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57The big question is, will the team go with Colin's choice?
0:30:57 > 0:31:00That's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05- The caddy spoon. 1806. - Yes, it's a pretty little item.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08It's slightly mis-shapen a little bit,
0:31:08 > 0:31:12but it's London 1806. Silver is selling very well.
0:31:12 > 0:31:18- We've estimated 30 to 40.- £23 paid. - A collectable item. - They paid the right price.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23It's a decent estimate. They should make a small profit, which would be great.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28- What about this brass-bound oak box? Pretty good quality, isn't it? - It is.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31I think the contents of it really are not related at all.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36We see it as being... It's got a Bramah lock on.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40It's got the key with the lock, which is quite unusual.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Probably had some little pistols in it, I would think.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- It's a considerably well-made box, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:47 > 0:31:53The brass banding. The most prestigious and best-quality lock
0:31:53 > 0:31:55of the 1840s period is the Bramah lock.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59To have all that combined in this oak box is pretty special.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04- We've estimated it 60 to 80.- Good. - And frankly, it might even do better than that.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Particularly if you sow the seed that it might be used for pistols.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13- Yes, we will.- £40 was paid. They look set to perhaps double their money there.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17And the last item, which James found,
0:32:17 > 0:32:21is this pressed fruitwood French snuff box
0:32:21 > 0:32:23which is absolutely divine.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26It is. It's very intricate work on the lid.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Bit of damage inside, but that's of not great consequence.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- 25 to 35.- Is that all?!
0:32:33 > 0:32:38Well, I think we've probably been a bit unkind to it. But...
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- Which does happen sometimes! - James will have a view about that! He paid £100.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47- I'm not quite sure if we'll get to that, but we might do.- Yes.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52We're predicting the caddy spoon and the pistol box doing pretty well,
0:32:52 > 0:32:57and let's hope it doesn't get dragged down by the French box.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- We hope not!- If it does, they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:33:04 > 0:33:11OK, you two. What do you suppose James Lewis spent your £137 on?
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- There we go.- Wow.- Do you love him or hate him or totally indifferent?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- At the moment, I'm not so sure. - I don't know what it is.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22It's Chinese. That's the great part about it.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Anything Chinese at the moment is doing well.- How much was he?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28How much do you think he's worth?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- I had a lot of money to spend on it. - You did. 130.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35To be honest, I'd probably pay around 30 to £40 for that.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37OK. What would you pay?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Probably a bit more. Maybe 50 to 60? - That's great.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Because he was 25.- Really?
0:33:43 > 0:33:44You are such a tease, James!
0:33:44 > 0:33:49I know. It's a brush pot. You'd have a bit of water or ink in there.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- He's a sweet little thing. - How old is he?- He's not early.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56I wish he was. I wish I could say he was Ming, but he's not.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01He's got a bit of wax on the back which is maybe an export seal or something.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06Seeing that makes me think it's got a bit of age, but he's only 19th century.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09OK. How much do you think it's going to bring us, though?
0:34:09 > 0:34:12I think there's a profit in it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- I think it'll make 50 quid.- OK.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Anyway, don't pick it now. Wait until the sale of your three items.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22But for viewers at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of Jimmy's little pot!
0:34:23 > 0:34:25There we go, look.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27One wee brush-washer.
0:34:27 > 0:34:33Well, it's an attractive piece, but we weren't too convinced about the age of it.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35We've described it as 20th-century.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39It doesn't appear to us to be perhaps as old
0:34:39 > 0:34:44as it might be purporting to be. That's the answer.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48Looking at the underside, it doesn't look very natural.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52That black colouring does look artificially induced, I agree.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56But I mean the whole dating of early Chinese pottery
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- is a nightmare!- Absolutely so.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01I think that's why we've erred on the cautious side.
0:35:01 > 0:35:07- Yes. And your estimate?- I think something like eight to 12. We've perhaps been harsh!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10But I don't see it being high figures.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13He paid £25 for it, so he clearly rates it.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16So eight to £12 won't please him. On the other hand,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- maybe the team won't go with it. - They might. They might.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24- Are you taking the sale today? - I will be.- We're in safe hands!
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- Alexa and Zeb, how do you feel? - Excited.- Yeah, really excited.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Are you at all nervous, Alexa?
0:35:44 > 0:35:50- On some items. I'm not that hopeful about my bowl, now.- Really.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54But it is Chinese and it's a very nice palette. Mandarin palette.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Lots of bright colours, there. If all else fails,
0:35:57 > 0:36:01you've got Colin's very nice Dunhill lighter to fall back on.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04First lot up is your hip flask. Here it comes.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08The ENPS spirit flask. T.Goode & Co stamped to the base.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11£20? 15 to start.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Come on!- 15?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Tenner? Ten I'm bid. The bid's there at ten.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18It seems no money. At £10 only. At ten. Is it 12 now?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21At £10. One and only bid. I'm going to have to sell it.
0:36:21 > 0:36:2312. 12, seated. 14.
0:36:23 > 0:36:2716, sir? Going at 14. Are you finished at £14?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- All done.- That's not expensive.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- It was expensive to us!- It was!
0:36:33 > 0:36:3619th-century mixed wood vernacular chair.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Child's chair. I'm bid £10 on the book. Is it 12 in the room?
0:36:39 > 0:36:4212. 14. 16. 18. 20. Two, is it?
0:36:42 > 0:36:48At 22. 24? £22 only. At 22. Four now.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50At £22. Are we all done at 22?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Wiped its face. £22. Better than a loss, though.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- It's down to my bowl. - Down to the bowl.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01Attractive little bowl, this. Who's got £30 to get me going?
0:37:01 > 0:37:0320. 25, is it?
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- At 20. The bid's here at 20. 25. 30? - It's painful!
0:37:06 > 0:37:1035? 35. 40? 40. 45? 45.
0:37:10 > 0:37:1250? 50 to you, sir.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1545. Foot of the stairs at 45. 50 if you want to carry on.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Last chance at £45.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- £45 is minus £30. - I thought that would do it!
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Which means you're minus £41.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Definitely go for the lighter, now. - The lighter?- Definitely!
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- We're losing. - May as well.- Go for it.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- Go for it.- Can't lose any more.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37A to Z are determined. Going with the bonus buy. Here comes the giant lighter.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43The very nice Dunhill plated brass lighter.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47What am I bid for this? £100 for this? Ought to be. Nice piece. 50 to get me going.
0:37:47 > 0:37:4950?
0:37:49 > 0:37:5140, then?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56This is a really nice quality piece. £30 to get me going. 30 I'm bid.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00There's a long way to go!
0:38:00 > 0:38:01At 30. 40, is it? 40. 50, sir?
0:38:01 > 0:38:0350? 50. 60?
0:38:03 > 0:38:0560 behind. 60.
0:38:05 > 0:38:0870? Don't be afraid. This is a very reasonable lot.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09£60. It's going to go.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- At £60.- £60 it's going for!
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I'm going to burst into tears. £60.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Minus 118!
0:38:18 > 0:38:20That's a disaster!
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Overall, minus 159.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- That's all right!- It could still be a winning score!
0:38:26 > 0:38:31Oh, you have got such a lovely optimistic winning streak!
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- The big thing is, don't say a word to the blues, all right?- OK, fine.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50How are you feeling about stuff? Confident?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53I'm excited. I am confident, yeah. We'll be all right.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- He's not so confident about them. - No.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- I'm confident.- The thing is the confusion over the pistol box or the games box.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05We've whacked chess pieces in there, so I'm not overly convinced
0:39:05 > 0:39:07that that was the best move!
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- But I like the caddy spoon. It's a lovely piece. - That's the first lot up.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Here it comes.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17George III silver tea caddy spoon. London 1806.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21About nine grams there. Who's got £20 to get me going?
0:39:21 > 0:39:2220 I'm bid. 20 and five?
0:39:22 > 0:39:2425 there. 25.
0:39:24 > 0:39:2630? 30. 35?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28We're in. We're in.
0:39:28 > 0:39:3035. 40 behind.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3240. 45? 45.
0:39:32 > 0:39:3450? 50. Five?
0:39:34 > 0:39:3850 it is at the table. Any further advances on £50?
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Finished and done at 50.
0:39:40 > 0:39:45- We're liking this!- That is plus 27. - Good times.- Very good, James. Well spotted.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Now, the pistol box.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51It's got the Bramah lock and we have the Bramah key in the office.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53It's quite an interesting lot.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57I can open the bidding at £30 on my book. 30. 35. 40. 50.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- 50, 60, is it? - We're moving.
0:39:59 > 0:40:0260. 70. 80? 80. 90, sir?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- 90. 100?- Come on!
0:40:04 > 0:40:07100 for you. 100. 110?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Gentleman here at 100.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13110 if you want to carry on. £100. It's going. Are we done and finished?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Yes, that's a cracker!
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- Plus £60. That's very good. - Good times!- Good work.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Come on, now. This is the biggy.
0:40:22 > 0:40:28A very attractive 19th-century French simulated walnut souvenir seal or snuff box.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I've got multiple bids on the book.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34I can start this on my book at 50. At 50. 60 in the room?
0:40:34 > 0:40:37At 50 with me on the book. 55.
0:40:37 > 0:40:3960. 65. I've got 70.
0:40:39 > 0:40:4275? 70 with me on the book. 70.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Oh, no!- Last chance.- No!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- Give it a push! - 75. 80, is it?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50£75. Are we all done at 75?
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- Lost 25.- That's minus 25. Well, I feel for you, James.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57There we go. It's sold.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02You are plus 62. What are you going to do about the old ink brush pot?
0:41:02 > 0:41:06It's £25 you're putting at risk.
0:41:06 > 0:41:12- We're up anyway. We can either go for it...- We have to take home a win.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15We have to. For my mum and for the good of Dorset!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- The people of Dorset need a win. - We promised we'd win.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Are you going to bank it? - Yeah, we're banking.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23We're going to sell the bonus buy anyway. Here it comes.
0:41:23 > 0:41:2620th-century Chinese earthenware pen dipper.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31A greeny-brown glaze to it. Interesting little item here.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32Start me at £20 for it.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35£20? Five I'm bid. Five.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37I'm bid at five. At five.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40At ten now? At five. I'll take six if it helps you.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Five pounds only. Take six pounds. Eight pounds. Ten?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Ten. 12. 14?
0:41:46 > 0:41:4912 at the front here. It's going to be sold at 12.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Last chance at £12.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Are we done and finished?
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Well, it would have been minus 13.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58But the fact is you are plus 62.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00You've ring-fenced your profits.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Just don't say a word to the reds. - We won't.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Well, you don't know that one team has done very well
0:42:12 > 0:42:14and the other team hasn't done so well!
0:42:14 > 0:42:18The team that hasn't done so well are the reds.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23In short, minus £159 is not so swift!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- OK.- But I don't see any point in dwelling on any detail.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30It just hasn't been your day, has it?
0:42:30 > 0:42:31- No.- Definitely not.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34I think you've all taken it like true Britishers!
0:42:34 > 0:42:39But the victors today, who are going home with 62 smackers,
0:42:39 > 0:42:43which is folding money - there's the 60 - here's a couple.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47You didn't go with the bonus buy. You preserved your status.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Splendido! I'm proud of the three of you.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Had a lovely time? - A brilliant time, yeah.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57I'll tell you, to take home money from this programme is a great achievement.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01I congratulate you. We've had a fantastic time.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05So much fun that you ought to join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Yes!
