0:00:02 > 0:00:06- PA:- 'Attention, could Tim Wonnacott come to lost and found to collect today's teams?'
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Are they lost already? Typical. Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:33 > 0:00:36You find us today at the racetrack.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Cheltenham, to be precise.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Do you fancy a flutter on the Reds or the Blues?
0:00:42 > 0:00:46What exactly is their form? Have they got good legs?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's find out.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Coming up in today's programme -
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Colin Young has trouble keeping his team in order.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- You've already bought it? - We got carried away.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03James Lewis backs a broken vase.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10Almost totally smashed - but in the right sale there's a profit in them.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- And the excitement spills over at the auction.- Yes!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hello, everyone.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Now Jennifer, tell me, how did you and your mate, Annette, meet?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Annette and I met a few years ago,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31quite a few years ago, at a hotel I was managing with my husband.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Annette works as a receptionist and secretary for us at the hotel.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- It says here that you particularly love your job, darling.- Yes, I do.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45I'm a sales negotiator and we deal with a lot of very, very nice people
0:01:45 > 0:01:50looking to buy houses and we try and match the people to the properties.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Find out their needs and match them to the most suitable houses.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56When it actually happens, is it a thrill?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Oh, it's wonderful. Wonderful, Tim!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Now Annette, you have a couple of dodgy habits outside work.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Tell us about them.- Well, they're not exactly dodgy, Tim.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I like doing pottery. I've done several courses
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and I have made some items that are usable - flower vases and bowls.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I just love all the different glazes. And also flowers -
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I have a passion for flowers.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And what are your tactics going to be today, Annette?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25We are looking for a statement piece, something with impact.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28We're looking for an Art Nouveau, little, silver photo frame,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31if there is one, something of that line.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35And perhaps a lighting piece. A chandelier, something like that.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Gosh, you are focused up, aren't you?- We hope so.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You really do have a good idea as to what you're going to do
0:02:41 > 0:02:43because I promise you, on Bargain Hunt, we get folk on here
0:02:43 > 0:02:47who have not got the faintest idea what they're up to
0:02:47 > 0:02:49and you girls most certainly do.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52This is going to be fun, I tell you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54OK. Well done.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Now, Lucinda, how did you and your friend, Barbara, become friends?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Through our dogs.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I've got a little Jack Russell called Eddie
0:03:02 > 0:03:06and Barbara's got a Lab called Poppy and we met through dog walking.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- And Eddie and Poppy got on all right?- Yes. Yes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- And their owners got on all right, did they?- Yes.- How sweet.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Anyway, you spent your early working life down in my neck of the woods?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Yes, yes, I was at agricultural college in Devon.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Are you an agriculturalist today? - Not now. I was for a long time.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I used to milk cows and I also worked for the milk marketing board.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34I stopped that a few years ago to teach windsurfing.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- A complete change.- What, you gave up the udder and you took up the board?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Yes. Exactly. - That's very good, isn't it?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44But now you do something different?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Yes, I'm now a holistic therapist.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- Gosh.- Doing massage, aromatherapy, reflexology - which is another thing
0:03:52 > 0:03:55that Barbara and I have got in common as well.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Now, Barbara, it says here that "feet unite your two careers?"
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Well, they do, Tim, that's a fact.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06In my younger days, I was a professional dancer.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11In my later years, I decided to become a surgical chiropodist.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16I see to people's feet and their many problems that they have.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20So, yes, the two are linked. I'm also a complementary practitioner.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Does that mean that you do it for free?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26No, indeed not. Certainly not.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- No, no. One has to earn a crust, you know.- No, no, quite. Good.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- OK, you are standing by for a bit of fun.- We are indeed.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35We are looking forward to your performance.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Now, girls, the money moment. This is what you ladies like.- Wow.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41A bit of a shopping opportunity with somebody else's cash. £300 a piece.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You know the rules.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54the Reds waste no time in telling Colin exactly what they want.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- A silver photo frame with Art Deco style.- Great.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02And we're looking for a statement piece that might be wonderful
0:05:02 > 0:05:04in a house that might look amazing.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- What do you want?- Maybe a light fitting. Some type of chandelier.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Very specific. Are the Blues as exacting?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Something quirky.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Something different.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Something where you can't just look the price up in a book.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Is that it? You've narrowed it down to quirky.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23The Reds have a shopping list, you know.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- £120.- All right, I have got nice taste then, haven't I?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27You do.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Somebody's carefully cut these all out and stuck them in.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Oh, stop mucking about. There's work to do.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40The Blues have already found a pair of 19th century, Chinese vases.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44One's pristine, the other...less so.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- What would be your best on the pair of vases?- £220.
0:05:48 > 0:05:54They're a massive chunk of our budget. They're over £200.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59But I sold one of those for £420.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Oh my word!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03But £200 - that leaves us £100 to get two items.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08How much is it?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- It's priced at £105.- They can keep that one, Colin.- Not for you?
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- Absolutely not, no. That's very masculine.- Fine. Let's keep going.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Well, those girls know what they're after and they won't be put off.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Meanwhile, the Blues are exploring Africa's treasures.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30My husband is South African so we've got a lot of African stuff at home.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Ethiopian headrest.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36The nomadic people - this would be swung around their waist
0:06:36 > 0:06:39and they would travel from location to location
0:06:39 > 0:06:44with their herds of goats and you would smear this with goat fat.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48You would literally just rest your head on it when you sleep.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51The goat fat was to prevent nasty insects coming up
0:06:51 > 0:06:52and going to bed in your ear.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56But they're different.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- They are tactile, again. - It is tactile, yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Is there any age to them?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03They've got a bit of age.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05A lot of things that are being imported now are buried
0:07:05 > 0:07:08in cow manure for a couple of years to give them more age.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11They have a patination to them and they have got some age.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Shall we try them out?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Yeah, I'm keen.
0:07:15 > 0:07:23- It's £40 for two or will you do £20 for one?- £21 for one.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- I prefer that one.- I prefer that one.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Do you want that one?- Yes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- Let's make a decision, come on. Time's going on.- OK, £21.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37First buy goes to the Blues then. Come on Reds. Keep up!
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- How much is that Colin?- It is priced at £95.- I quite like that.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43You could put a plant in it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Or you could put a flower arrangement in it. It is quite country.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Do you think there would be a margin in that, Colin?
0:07:49 > 0:07:54It is priced at £95. I think if you can get a deal done on that,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- I think that's probably... - We have got a small damage...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02What's going to happen here is all of the hardened collectors
0:08:02 > 0:08:05are not going to come out and be giving you £300, £400 or £500.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10But it's attractive. I quite like that actually.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Who is head negotiator? - Jennifer, have a go.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You can negotiate.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Hello.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22We like the scene on this and we like the glaze, the picture.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26We know that there is some cracking here in the sky.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28We know it's priced for that
0:08:28 > 0:08:31but we wonder if you can do something better for us?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I can do £75.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Er...
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Well, erm...
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I'd rather it was more £65.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42'Ow, tough one.'
0:08:42 > 0:08:44£70.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46£67?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Yes, £67.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Is that all right with everybody? - Yes. Good.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Nice bargaining, Reds. And that's one thing off the shopping list.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00We've got the statement piece. Silver next. Silver photo frame.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- OK.- Art Deco.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Cor, these Reds are really focused.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11There's a statement piece of lighting.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- But we can't afford it.- No.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- That's nice.- Royal Worcester.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- What on earth is it? - It's a water dropper.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20It's Chinese, early 20th century.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I haven't got as far as asking pricing on it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- What do you do with it? - You pop your water in there.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- What for?- Your brushes.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Oh right, for painting? - Yes.- Right.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- You're not impressed, are you?- No.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- In anyway shape or form.- No.
0:09:36 > 0:09:45- That way round, there we go. Hang on. You're not sure either?- No.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I suppose it must go around the side of it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52- If you put half a lemon in there. - I think that's rather cute.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- We were just going to buy it. - We were going to buy this.
0:09:56 > 0:10:03It's a lemon squeezer and we can have it for £25. It's Victorian.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- You're not impressed, are you?- No.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Think about the fashions for kitchens at the moment.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Is it a fashion to put loads of stuff in it and copper and brass?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Or is it minimalist?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20I like it but the thing is, you want to buy what's fashionable.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Not what isn't.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I've seen those things do pretty well.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29James, we'll see. Now, talking of good buys.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34On the face of it, sitting on a stand down there,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37this is not terribly interesting.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39In fact, it's a dead bore.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45But turn it round and give it a proper viewing
0:10:45 > 0:10:49and you have an object of rare and incredible beauty.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51How's that?
0:10:51 > 0:10:57How can one thin slither of polished slate
0:10:57 > 0:11:01morph from that into that?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07The answer is pietre dure - that's hard stones -
0:11:07 > 0:11:12and an incredible amount of skill and craftsmanship.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18If you're partial to a hybrid tea rose
0:11:18 > 0:11:23and you grow them in the garden, you know how incredibly complicated
0:11:23 > 0:11:30the folded, delicate nature of the petals are. Here, if you look,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33you'll see that we've got not only one piece of stone,
0:11:33 > 0:11:38but one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven -
0:11:38 > 0:11:45we've got at least 15 different pieces of stone making up one bloom.
0:11:45 > 0:11:51They're just a thin piece of veneer laid into the black background
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and that black background is terribly thin.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58This is so skilful it takes your breath away.
0:11:58 > 0:12:04It's a mount that's come off some Victorian blotter or photo frame.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08A novelty piece of something exported from Italy,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12maybe around 1880 to 1910.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18What's it worth? Well, framed up, retail £400.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21What would it cost you here?
0:12:21 > 0:12:26When displayed, that way up, on a stand down there
0:12:26 > 0:12:30it could be yours for £18.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Now that's what I call blooming marvellous.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39There are bargains here but our teams still only have one item each.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- How much time have you got left? - 20 minutes.- 20 minutes left.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Right, outside then. Quickly outside.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50What do you feel about that?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- What have you got there then? - It's just a pin dish.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Presumably hat pins from that era? - It would be, yes.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- How do you feel style wise?- Style wise - a very good looking thing.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- And is it something people would buy. - It is.- It says it's bronze.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05- That's bronze.- It is.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Bronze is basically an alloy which brass is part of that alloy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- It is as simple as that. - Right.- It's good looking.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15What sort of money are we on? £80.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- We've got money left.- Yes.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Do you want to leave this one on the list?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Well, we keep leaving them, don't we? I think we need to start buying.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Well, shall we put it as a possible? - Let's put this as the last possible.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30We have viewed the potential purchases we have got
0:13:30 > 0:13:32and then come up with a plan.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Do you remember having a plan? - Yes, yes, we've still got it!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Ah, outside on planet blue,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42it's dawning on James that he needs to gee up his team.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44We've just bought one thing?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Yep, Blues you have only got one item. Get a move on, eh.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- No.- No.- No.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The fire screen.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55A nasal appliance.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56OK.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58And still they dither.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I really don't know.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Meanwhile, the Red team are on the up.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I think Jennifer's found a touch of real class.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09That caught my eye. It's a bit of money but we could get it down.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I love the blue on it. I love the gold background
0:14:12 > 0:14:15and I think it's a very attractive thing.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18It's got a bit of cracking there but it's a nice thing.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- Well spotted.- It caught my eye. It must be the colour again.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25The shape is lovely. It feels very nice, Annette.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- It has got a really nice feel. - Is it china at the bottom?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It is, yes. It's porcellaneous base.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33We have a little bit of a nibbling there.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38A silver hallmark around the edge - Birmingham Assay, little F.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43That's going to date it probably around 1906 or thereabouts.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- I think it is lovely. - 1905, not a bad guess.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- I like it.- I like it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Who is chief negotiator then? - Are you looking at me, Colin?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- I think we might be, Annette. - I wonder why.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59We're looking at this because it caught our eye.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- It's rather attractive. - It's beautiful, isn't it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:07I'm just wondering what you can do in having a lower price than that?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10£120 is a very good price to start off with.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I can take a little bit off.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15£110. You will definitely sell it.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18£110 is a very fair price.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Could you do £100? - I'm afraid I can't.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23£105?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I can do it for £105. That's the absolute bottom, yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Do you like it?- Yes.- I think it's great. I think it's great.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36If you like it, there will be plenty of other people that will want it
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- so I would suggest, if it's a team decision, let's go for it.- Yes.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Thank you. - Those Reds are on target.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48OK, not a photo frame, but they can tick silver off their list.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Impressive or what? the Blues are back indoors.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I've still got the lemon squeezer.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59With time running out, James wants them to reconsider those sweet-and-sour vases.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01They are quite a lot of money.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Yes.- £220 is...
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Another bad purchase that he is going to drag you into.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- Don't trust this man.- We're just having a history lesson, Colin.
0:16:14 > 0:16:21They are Chinese, Canton, famille rose vases that are 19th century.
0:16:21 > 0:16:27A pair. The other one is almost totally smashed. Almost had it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It's such a shame, isn't it?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33In the right sale there's a profit in them.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Even with the damage?- Yeah.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40You see, that can be converted into a lamp stand or something like that.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46So, there's £30 or £40 there. And this one, 1850, 1860 in date.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51The gilding is in nice order. It's not too rubbed.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- It doesn't look damaged does it?- No.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And the Chinese are buying back a lot of their stuff now, aren't they?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Let's bite the bullet and say OK. - We haven't got much time.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04We've got a bit left to buy the lemon squeezer.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- £210?- £210?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08- Go on!- No!
0:17:08 > 0:17:14- £220 is really the bottom. - Your rock bottom? OK.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16He's been fair. And he's got to make a profit.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21- I'll give you a nice cardboard box to put them in.- Yes, yes, yes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Wow. Done deal.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Less than ten minutes and...- We haven't got a lot of money left.- No.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31- You said no to my lemon squeezer. - If you like it, you buy it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38The Reds are on a mission. Forget the plan, it's decision time.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42The water dropper or the bronze dish?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44You go and negotiate on the bronze.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Yes.- I will go and ask a price on the water dropper.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- What was the original price on the water dropper?- It was £48.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I will go and ask a price.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'll come and join you while you're doing your negotiations.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01And then I'll put you in jeopardy as to which way you're going to go.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Thank you, Colin.- Good luck.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05So it's a new plan to avert disaster.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Hopefully.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Are we going to buy the lemon squeezer
0:18:08 > 0:18:10because we've got no money, no time?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Finally, the Blues have a sense of urgency.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Do you remember where it was? - Or perhaps not.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Four minutes, girls. Come on!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26At this rate they'll only have two items in the auction.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Colin's gone fishing for a bargain. It will have to be superb
0:18:31 > 0:18:35to convince these girls, who look pretty determined.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Colin has gone up there to look at something else
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and try and do a deal on something else up there.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47So, us getting this, depends on what you can do for us on that price.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51£60 which is less than trade for you. £60.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Is that your very, very lowest?
0:18:54 > 0:18:58You couldn't do it for £50?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00You literally...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Could you do £55?- Go on then.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Let's meet in the middle. - Meet in the middle.- £55 it is.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- This could be trouble.- I've got some excellent news for you.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16The water dropper £25, how does that sound?
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Very good but this is £80. £60 was her bottom price.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I managed to do a deal and shake hands at £55.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- You've already bought it? - Yes, I'm afraid I got carried away.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I think you should be all right. I think you'll be all right.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32We do love it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35That's the key to it all then.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37That's the key. Ignore the expert!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Good luck at the auction, girls.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43But those Blues have finally got back to that French press.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Even now, Lucinda is still browsing.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- What's your very best?- £25.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53£25 is not good. It's not good.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56We really liked this because it was quirky and it's unusual
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- and it is old and... - I'm the one who is championing it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02And you're championing it.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03£25 is too much.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08I'll tell you what I think it will make at auction. £5 to £10.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- That's what I think it's worth. - Well, you never know, do you?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- £15?- No. I'll take £20.
0:20:16 > 0:20:22- £17?- £18, I'll take.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- We're running out of time.- It's not going to make any money though.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Let's go and have another look around the entire fair(!)
0:20:31 > 0:20:3220 seconds!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- 20 seconds. - Are we going to go for it?
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- Just keep the guys on tenterhooks. - Unless you see something else...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Come along! There just isn't time for all this faffing.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45You've got no choice, James but to step in.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Deal done. Deal done.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50That was close. Five seconds to spare.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Now, how much left over lolly is going to be
0:20:52 > 0:20:56given by the teams to the expert to go and find that bonus buy.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58First up, it's the Reds.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00The Reds bought the jolly jardiniere
0:21:00 > 0:21:03but it may not be all it's cracked up to at £67.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12A pretty, but pretty pricey, inkwell which cost them £105.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17And the bronze dish which they're pinning their hopes on for £55.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24- We liked them.- They're dead elegant these girls shopping, aren't they?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26They were on a mission, Tim.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32- Annette, how much did you spend, darling.- Sorry, remind me...
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- £227.- He's the director. The director has to do that!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- £227. That's a good number. Isn't it?- It is, yes.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- Which it your favourite piece? - The pot.- Is it?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Yeah, colours.- Goes with your nails.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Yeah.- Which is your favourite piece, Annette?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I think the bronze pin dish because it's very Art Nouveau.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55You are so arty. Who's got the left over lolly?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- I have.- You have. Very good.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02- Thank you very much. That's it. £73. Is that right?- It is.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- I'm sure I can do something with that.- I'm sure you can, Colin.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09There have been a couple of things out there that I have seen which
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I think will set the team up well when it comes to auction.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14You are such a tease, Colin.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Thank you very much, girls. Have a nice cup of tea.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Why don't we remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22The Blues bought some tribal art.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26An African headrest which shouldn't be a sleeper - ho ho! - at £21.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33The Chinese vases which James loved, despite the £220 price tag
0:22:33 > 0:22:36and the major damage.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37We'll see.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40The girls weren't pressed into buying the antique kitchen gadget
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and they even squeezed the price to £18.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Now listen, what did you spend overall, Lucinda?- £259.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I would like £41 back please.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I don't normally have this much money on me!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Are you proud of us, Tim? It's a lot of money for us.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- It's a serious amount of money. - Is it?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Well, it's lovely to see you spend up a bit.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08But which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:08 > 0:23:13I've changed my mind. I was going to say James' cracked Chinese vases,
0:23:13 > 0:23:18but we've also bought a nice African headrest
0:23:18 > 0:23:22covered in goat fat and that will probably make a lot more money.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27I must say you have a way of presenting these goods
0:23:27 > 0:23:31that is so attractive! The goat's fat all over your head.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- It has a pungent aroma. - It does. It's a nice smell.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Here we go. £41.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Thank you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Well, you spent most of that money and that's fair enough.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43£41. You'll find something nice for that, won't you?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- We'll certainly try.- OK, girls, stand by. This is exciting.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Meanwhile, we're off to the middle of nowhere - to Snowshill Manor.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53How gorgeous.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04Snowshill Manor, in the Cotswolds, is a house whose foundations date
0:24:04 > 0:24:06back to the 15th century.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Today, it's owned by the National Trust, but in 1919
0:24:10 > 0:24:15it was bought by Charles Paget Wade, who'd inherited the family fortune.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18It's filled with items
0:24:18 > 0:24:22amassed during his lifetime hobby of collecting.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27His collection began with simple items, usually made in England
0:24:27 > 0:24:30but progressed to European furniture and items from the Far East.
0:24:34 > 0:24:42So, what started off this, what some would describe as, obsessional collecting habit?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Well, apparently, it all began with this cabinet.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50On the face of it, not particularly impressive.
0:24:50 > 0:24:57It's a perfectly nice, early 18th century, Chinese export cabinet
0:24:57 > 0:25:03of a type that were commonly imported, sometimes in a tea chest
0:25:03 > 0:25:08so that the layer of tea would protect it from any damage.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Of course, you could then sell the cabinet and tea and make a profit.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18The secret with this cabinet is the magnificence that lies within.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Look at that. Isn't that gorgeous?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27It's gorgeous to my eye right now,
0:25:27 > 0:25:32but if you can transport yourself mentally into the place
0:25:32 > 0:25:37where an excitable and inquiring seven-year-old would be -
0:25:37 > 0:25:44because Wade was about seven when he went off to stay with his grandmother in Great Yarmouth.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48As a very special treat, if he was a good little boy,
0:25:48 > 0:25:55once a week on a Sunday, he was allowed to open this cabinet and look at the treasures inside.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03The cabinet contains some 25 or 27 drawers and they're placed
0:26:03 > 0:26:09around an arrangement of platforms - with balustrades outside
0:26:09 > 0:26:15and inner balustrades with inner sanctums in the form of a shrine.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Not only was the cabinet fascinating to the seven-year-old
0:26:20 > 0:26:23but it was also the contents that got him going.
0:26:23 > 0:26:30We know for certain that this pair of late Georgian, solid silver spectacle frames
0:26:30 > 0:26:32were in the cabinet.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35And if his grandma had explained to him
0:26:35 > 0:26:42that the outer green, scaly covering to the spectacle case
0:26:42 > 0:26:47had been stripped from the back of a shark, before being stained green,
0:26:47 > 0:26:52as any gruesomely, blood thirsty seven-year-old will tell you,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56they are always very interested in stuff like that.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00She might have pointed out the little, ivory gadget there.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03A Spinning Jenny.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07He might have been allowed to wind the handle which turned the cog,
0:27:07 > 0:27:13that turns the wheel, that turns the lady doing the spinning -
0:27:13 > 0:27:19which I'm not allowed to do today because it is too fragile.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23It really is no wonder that this captivating cabinet stimulated
0:27:23 > 0:27:26a lifelong compulsion to collect.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Of course, the big question today is how much stimulation
0:27:30 > 0:27:33will our teams be requiring over at the auction?
0:27:40 > 0:27:45Well, we've whizzed from Cheltenham to Stratford-upon-Avon
0:27:45 > 0:27:48to be at Bigwood's Auction House with Christopher Ironmonger.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Good morning, Christopher. - Good morning, Tim.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57Jennifer and Annette - their first item is this stag jardiniere.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02- Do you rate it? - It's an attractive piece.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05A little comment on the condition is appropriate.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09It is a little bit crazed and knocked around
0:28:09 > 0:28:11but these pieces often were.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Its colouration is a little unusual.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18The sort of puce colour on the side is not everybody's cup of tea
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- but nevertheless - £40 to £60. - £67 paid.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22So, they are more or less in the frame.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27I agree with you. Looking inside that, it looks what my mother would call disgusting.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- Next up is the inkwell.- Yes. - With its silver top.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- That is very clean and ready to go condition, isn't it?- It is.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40It's Birmingham 1903.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43An attractive base with the foliage and the gilt.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46We're perhaps being a little bit on the mean side. £25 to £45.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I think it will do better than that.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53A little bit on the mean side? £105 they paid for this(!)
0:28:53 > 0:28:56£25 to £35?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Because of the silver prices it will probably be pushed on more.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01£25 to £40?!
0:29:01 > 0:29:03All right, we're being mean(!)
0:29:03 > 0:29:07No, we'll see. Exciting.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Now what about this bronze dish? The Art Nouveau bronze dish.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Looking at it, we are a little uncertain as to
0:29:14 > 0:29:18whether it has got a great deal of age and, for that reason,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20we've estimated £5 to £10.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22£55 paid. This is going terribly well at the moment.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26They are going to need their bonus buy so let's have a look at it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33Jennifer and Annette - you gave the boy £73 of left over lolly.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Colin, what did you spend it on? - Something not too big.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Not too pricey.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I spent it on...
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Yes, I knew you would!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- I just had an inkling about that. - Really?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Because you liked it so much, yes.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54I shouldn't buy just the things that I like but it just seemed so cheap.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01A little water dropper or ink pot, we know it is not old
0:30:01 > 0:30:03so it won't make thousands of pounds.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05It's not going to make hundreds of pounds
0:30:05 > 0:30:08but it is definitely going to make tens of pounds.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- You gave me £73 to spend.- Yes, what did you pay for that, Colin?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14£25 spent.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17OK, are you predicting much of a profit? Not really.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I am predicting a little bit of a profit.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23I'm not going to keep carping on about it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27I think we should just see what happens during the sale.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Treasure those memories. Meanwhile, why don't we find out
0:30:30 > 0:30:34what the auctioneer thinks about Colin's little carp.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38This is a bit fishy.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Yes, erm...
0:30:40 > 0:30:46I suppose order of the day, these little Chinese pieces at the moment.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51A fish is quite attractive
0:30:51 > 0:30:53but we've said £10 to £15.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58It is a nice, little thing. £25 paid by Colin. That's it for the Reds.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Now for the Blues. What a collection they've got.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Now, first up, tribal art. Are you hot on tribal art?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08I wouldn't say necessarily.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11We have had a few pieces in over the last year or so.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14We did have another headrest that came in that sold very well.
0:31:14 > 0:31:20That was a Zulu one but this one is turn of the century perhaps.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25- It doesn't look terribly comfy, does it?- Well, they never were.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28I suppose if you've got nothing to lie on.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- Probably £30 to £40. - Brilliant. £21 paid.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Next up, James found these Cantonese pots.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41The condition of that one is not so hot, is it?
0:31:41 > 0:31:45It's had a bit of a battering at the top there.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Somebody's attacked it with a hammer.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52It's such a shame because the other one is in somewhat better order.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56They sell well, these Canton vases.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01We've had some larger ones than these in, that made £600,000 each.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04We've said £150 to £250.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- So that takes into account the condition.- It does, yes.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10£220 they paid. So that's pretty good.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- I think we're on the right side there.- What about this press then?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- These bits of kitchenalia are popular?- They are.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19There's a lot of people collecting that.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22That's something they will see as a little bit different.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Yes. - Probably going to make £30 or £40.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28£18 was paid.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31I've a funny feeling that this team is going to do massively well.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34In which case, they won't need their bonus buy.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42OK, girls. What do you suppose James Lewis spent your £41 on?
0:32:42 > 0:32:47- Something very big and expensive. - That's why he's holding it proudly!
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Something very quirky.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- Possibly African.- Really?
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Well, he's going to reveal all. - Or Chinese.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Oh!- Or Chinese?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00You're right. It's Chinese and quirky.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03There we go. I saw that and I thought it's different.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Just a bit of fun really.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06It's a water dropper bottle.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- Oh right.- You fill it up and the air would escape out of there.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Put your finger over.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- Water for what? - For art. For pictures.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22This whole business of Chinese water colours which are frightfully wishy-washy
0:33:22 > 0:33:28and they get wishy-washy because they soak the paper during the painting process.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Shove a few blobs of ink on.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32I've got to check with my pendulum
0:33:32 > 0:33:36whether this is going to be a good buy.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37I have to have a little... hang on...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I think it's a boy.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46- Is that good or no?- This is very positive. Very positive, James.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49It's going to make money, in other words?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- Is that what it means? - Yes. It's going to make money.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54We can have two predictions here.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- First of all, you have to tell us how much you paid?- OK.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59What do you think it's worth?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- I think £20, £30?- £40?
0:34:02 > 0:34:03£20, £30, £40?
0:34:03 > 0:34:06That's quite precise, isn't it?!
0:34:06 > 0:34:07£7.50.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Oh, wow.- It's chipped.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13It's probably about 100 years old, something like that.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- It's tactile.- It's different.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22You don't have to decide right now. You decide after the sale of the first three items.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24For the viewers at home let's find out
0:34:24 > 0:34:27what the auctioneer thinks about James' water dropper.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34There we go, Christopher. Yet another piece of Chinese green.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Well, it is attractive.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38You see quite a lot of these at the moment.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43Everybody does seem to be sort of going in this direction.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46We've said £10 to £20. It's a little decorative object.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Obviously it has a function
0:34:47 > 0:34:50but somebody will buy it as a decorative collectible.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54James Lewis only paid £7.50. And that's the secret.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58If you pay the right price you're going to make a small profit.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well, he can't lose much on that.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05Well, you can lose £7.50 and he didn't have that much money left.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06That's a sensible buy.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11We'll stand by, hopefully, to make some massive profits, Christopher. No pressure.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12We'll do our best.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Are you excited? - Absolutely. I can't wait.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26It is a moment, isn't it?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29We've got a nice crowd of people in this room
0:35:29 > 0:35:32and I am sure they're all gagging to buy your lots.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- We do hope so.- The first lot up is the jardiniere and here it comes.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- AUCTIONEER:- A 20th century majolica jardiniere.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42A very nice one with the stag and the landscape setting there.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Who's going to start me at £40?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49£30 to start then. £25 to start.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51It is not dear at this price, is it?
0:35:51 > 0:35:56£20 I'm bid. 20, and five do I hear? At £20 the maiden bid. 25.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01£30, sir? 30. £35? £30. There at £30. And five, if you like?
0:36:01 > 0:36:05At £30 only. It's going to be sold at £30, make no mistake. At £30...
0:36:05 > 0:36:07GAVEL STRIKES
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Minus £37.- We got a bargain.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16- AUCTIONEER:- It is the Edwardian silver mounted earthenware ink well.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Birmingham 1903 and I've got multiple bids.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23I can start at 50 on the book. At 50, at 50, and £60 now. At £50,
0:36:23 > 0:36:30£60 and I'm clear. £70 do I hear? £80? £90. £100?
0:36:30 > 0:36:34£100 on the stairs, £110 at the back. £120, sir?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- £110 the lady's bid.- Ooh! A profit!
0:36:37 > 0:36:40At £110...
0:36:40 > 0:36:41GAVEL STRIKES
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Result!- Yes!
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Plus £5 is very good which means you are minus £32 overall.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54But here comes your bronze dish.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59- AUCTIONEER:- The Art Nouveau caster brass style dish.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02I can start at £15. £20 in the room?
0:37:02 > 0:37:06At £15, £15. £18, £20, £22.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09£24. £26. £28, madam?
0:37:09 > 0:37:14£28, the lady's bid. You are in at £28.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Are we done and finished at £28?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21I'm pleased.
0:37:21 > 0:37:27That's minus £27 which means overall, you are minus £59.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32- That's not too bad. It could have been a lot worse. - It could have been a lot worse!
0:37:32 > 0:37:38So what are you doing about the bonus buy then? It's £25 at risk.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39I really don't want to.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43I don't really want to add to what we've already lost.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I would be inclined to say give it a go.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50We have a bit of a split between our teams here.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52The thing is they're great friends
0:37:52 > 0:37:54but they've also got very strong wills...
0:37:54 > 0:37:58both of you. Annette, you're going to give way?
0:37:58 > 0:37:59I am, yes.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- You are going to give way. - She did well on the ink well.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04So, I think on that basis...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07You're going to let her marketing experience sway you.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11We're going to sell it anyway and here it comes.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- AUCTIONEER:- An oriental, porcelain water dropper. Nice, little item.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Fashioned as a carp on its side.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20£20, I am bid. £22, if you like. 22.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23£24? £24. £26?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25The gentleman here at £24.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27This is close.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29At £24...
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- You saved us a £1.- Minus £1.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40And you didn't go with it anyway. That's tremendously close.
0:38:40 > 0:38:47It might be a winning score so don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Do you know how the Reds got on? - No.- We don't want you to.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- They wouldn't tell us at all. - They weren't spilling any beans.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02James, your favourite subject.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- The first item up which is the African. Impressed?- Yes.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09You paid £21 for that, which was a result
0:39:09 > 0:39:12because he's estimated £30 to £40.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14That's good, isn't it?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17So you could double your money on that which is a very fair beginning.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21- AUCTIONEER:- The headrest, very interesting
0:39:21 > 0:39:25chevron tool there. Who's going to give me £30?
0:39:25 > 0:39:31Quite collectible, tribal art. £20 to start me then. £20?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34At £20, it's a maiden bid of £20.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37And £30. Standing at £30.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39It's going to be sold at £30.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Are we done at £30?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Very good. Plus £9. That's fair enough.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50- AUCTIONEER:- Nice pair of late 19th century, Chinese, porcelain vases.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56It ought to be a couple of hundred pounds. £150 to start me.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01£150? Come on. Well, £100 then.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02£100, I am bid.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05The bid is here at £100.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10At £120. At £100. £110, he says.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14£120 down here. At £120.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16I'll take £130. Don't give up easily,
0:40:16 > 0:40:20At £120 in the front row. £120, are we sure?
0:40:20 > 0:40:21GAVEL STRIKES
0:40:21 > 0:40:28- It is minus £100, lads. - No way. Absolutely bonkers.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33- AUCTIONEER:- A lemon squeezer. I am going to ask for £30.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38£20 to get me going. £20 I'm bid. £30, sir.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42£40, £40 and five?
0:40:42 > 0:40:46£40 it is. Seated over there at £40. It's going to be sold at £40.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Are we done? Yours for £40.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51You are minus £69.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54What would you like to do about the water dropper?
0:40:54 > 0:40:58There weren't any buyers for the last Chinese things so there might not be any for this.
0:40:58 > 0:41:03- We haven't made any money. - It's more available at that price.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Oh, dear me.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- Are you going to go with it? - Yes.- Very good.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11You're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15- AUCTIONEER:- The green glazed water dropper. Bulb form, moulded
0:41:15 > 0:41:18with a climbing creature, inside signature.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23Who's going to give me £20 for this one? £20 I am bid.
0:41:23 > 0:41:29£25, £30, £35, £40, £45? £40. It is going at £40.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Are we done at £40?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34The man is a genius.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38That makes you minus £36.50 but it could be a winning score.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41We shan't be going out for lunch to celebrate...
0:41:41 > 0:41:44..or dinner, or coffee or a burger!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46We might have a glass of wine.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54The truth of the matter is, sadly, nobody is going home
0:41:54 > 0:41:59with any cash today and there's not much between you all, I have to say.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- Oh.- But the team that is slightly behind...
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- are the Reds.- Aww.
0:42:06 > 0:42:13Minus £59 is your score. I think the prize has to go to Jennifer
0:42:13 > 0:42:16because you made a £5 profit, darling, on your ink well
0:42:16 > 0:42:19and then you made the right decision not to go with the bonus buy,
0:42:19 > 0:42:23but only by a marginal pound. You must be pretty pleased.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Yes, very.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29I hope you had a nice time too, Annette. Because we loved having you on the show.
0:42:29 > 0:42:35Now, the victors today, who win by only losing £36.50,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39largely because, in a very exciting sense,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42James contributed £32.50 profit
0:42:42 > 0:42:46on his bonus buy - which was very good. So, well done for that James.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- But £100 loss on the vases as well! - Don't worry about that.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52The fact of the matter is that, were it not for the bonus buy,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55you girls would be trailing today.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59- We would.- You would. So be grateful to the man. Revel in it! Enjoy it!
0:42:59 > 0:43:03In fact, join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes? Yes!
