0:00:03 > 0:00:07As I wander through this field of antiquities,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10I thinks to meself, "Let's go Bargain Hunting!"
0:00:31 > 0:00:36Ardingly antiques and collectors fair goes on for absolutely miles.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39It's been raining cats and dogs recently
0:00:39 > 0:00:42so let's hope they've brought some sensible footwear!
0:00:43 > 0:00:50On today's shop, Mark talks his team out of a purchase that could have cost them dearly.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Look at those antlers.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59- £240.- £240.- I think we'll say no to that.- No to Rudolf.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Poor Rudolf!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Speaking of a good shot, though...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- What's that?- A little shot glass!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Right. Time to dig a little deeper.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And here they are, two teams of very good friends.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Now, Lynne, I gather you and Poo have known each other for some years.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Like almost forever, I suppose, yes.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We were born and brought up in the same village.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Sailing has formed an important part of your friendship.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31We're both members of the same yacht club, on the river.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- We've both spent... This is on the Hamble.- On the Hamble.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- Yes. We've both spent a lot of time...- Mucking about in boats.- Yes.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44- You also have a passionate interest in antiques.- I've always enjoyed antiques.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- What things do you go for? - In the early days, furniture.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- I love going to auction sales.- Yeah.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Now, Poo.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Or should I call you Patricia? - I'd rather you called me Poo.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00I'll call you Poo.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02You spend a lot of time in France.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08I do now. About seven years ago we decided to sell our family home
0:02:08 > 0:02:14and have a place in France, which we've done up over the last six or seven years.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Lovely.- And we've finished it now and are enjoying it.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21You furnished your house largely in France?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- No, I've mostly furnished it from auction rooms here.- Have you?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Yes. I've managed to pick up French things in England.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Cheaper than you'd buy them in France?- I'm afraid so.- Really.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Marvellous. So this bargain hunting lark today will be a breeze for you, Poo.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41We're looking forward to it. We're determined to spend some money!
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- Good for you. I'll give you 300 in a minute. What could be better? - Wonderful!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Very nice to see you on the show.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Very good luck, girls.- Thank you. - Now,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Jules and Jess.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56You've only been friends for a short while, Jules?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Just over a year.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04We work together. We hit it off straightaway. We go on nights out
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and girls' nights at each other's houses.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- You're a bit naughty together?- Yes, we're the jokers of the office.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Lord.- We like to play practical jokes a lot.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17What sort of business is it, the Jokes Company?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19No, no. It's a serious company.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23We sell graphic materials and fine vinyls.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27You're a bit of a collector when you're not causing trouble?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Yes, I've got a coin collection.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Dad's passed it down to me, and the grandparents as well.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37My dad collects stamps
0:03:37 > 0:03:42so whenever I'm out and about or get an unusual stamp, I take it to him.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- You nick it for him.- Yes, I do.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Jess, do you have a passion for collecting, darling?- Yes, I do.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Me and my dad go to auctions quite a bit.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54So I got my passion from him, really.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Really. And do you buy or does he do the buying?
0:03:58 > 0:04:03He does the buying, but he's given me a table and chairs to sell before.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Has he?- Yes, and I made a bit of profit on them.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09It was really good fun, actually. So, yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- I really enjoyed that.- He sounds very nice, your dad.- He's fantastic.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14So,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- have you two come up with a plan as to how to win today?- Yes.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- We want something that's not broken or damaged.- Good condition.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Good condition. Something wooden.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Something that catches our eye. Something different, maybe.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Maybe like a game or something.- Yep. - Right.- We like games.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- And you also like shopping. - We love shopping!
0:04:34 > 0:04:39A magical combo, this! Girls that like shopping and have a game in mind. Lovely.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Here's your £300.- Thank you.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43There's your £300.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go, and very, very good luck!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Lynne and Poo have grabbed expert Mark Stacey
0:04:51 > 0:04:54and James Braxton has linked up with Julie and Jess.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57We haven't got time to chat!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Now, come along. Clocks are ticking.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Now, we've started our shop.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Let's have a good rummage, shall we?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Any ideas, girls, what you want?
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- The little dog's quite sweet.- It's that cold-painted bronze effect.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- VENDOR:- I think it's an Austrian one, but it's lost its...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Lost its paint, I think, hasn't he?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28This would have been made at the end of the 19th century.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- It would have been all painted. But he's got a lovely face.- Yes. - He has.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37The technique that these employed at this time is cold-painted.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41The bronze would have been made and then it was painted when cold.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Its colour would have probably been black on silver.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48But what we need to know is how inexpensive it is.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I'll take 120 for it.- Ooh.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53That could be a real bargain.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57It could be. But it would be a real bargain if it had some paint on it!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- We'll think about it.- Think about it and come back.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02One little doggie on hold, then.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Time to check in on James, Julie and Jess.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10James, hello! All the J's! A full J plan.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- Very good.- Getting on OK?- Very well. I'm lucky to have two lovely ladies.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19You've got the blonde and the brunette. A nuclear family already!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I've landed in clover!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Very nice. You've just started shopping?- Yes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I won't disturb you. Your clock is running.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- OK.- Have a lovely morning. - Thank you!- A lovely morning.- Bye!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34This stall looks interesting.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Tell me about that, Poo. - There's quite a fun stick here
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- with another dog. I seem to be homing in on dogs.- 160 again.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Jolly expensive, isn't it? - Not really, because they're very collectable.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51- I don't know anything about walking sticks.- Very collectable, particularly with unusual heads.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Or googly eyes!- But look at the price.- How much is it?- £160.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- I think maybe we ought to move on and come back.- We'll come back.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04We've got some thoughts, haven't we? We can always come back.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07That's two little dogs in the kennels on hold.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Look at that big bell!- Ding-dong!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17We did say maybe a painting, if we found one that we liked.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19That is very nice.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24What I like about this is it's a complete package.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's contemporarily framed, in its original frame.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31This was done... Give me a date. When do you think it was done?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- '40s? I don't know. I'm guessing. - '30s?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yeah, you're in the right area.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39It's about 1910, 1920.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44OK? And they used this, they used an oak frame and then gilded it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48But they gilded it down, so revealing the open grain.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51They used oak. We were quite nationalistic.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- How much is it?- It needs to be 140, really.- 140.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Hmm.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Can I squeeze you a bit? There's a little bit of surplus there.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02How about 100?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Um... Yes.- Really?- I suppose so.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Shall we buy?- Yeah. I reckon so. - Yeah.- Well done.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13An early 20th-century watery watercolour.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Nice!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Ladies, not to worry you, but we've had ten minutes and still haven't bought anything.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22We've seen some expensive things. You've got good tastes.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I think we need to get confident. We need to have something under our belt.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Let's try and find something to purchase.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31All right, bossy boots!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Anyway, I've found something!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I am becoming increasingly passionate
0:08:36 > 0:08:39about small little pieces of silver.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42What do you think about this little joker?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46You can see underneath an array of hallmarks.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48What happened was,
0:08:48 > 0:08:52if you were commercially importing a bit of silver from abroad,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56you would have it hallmarked when it came into this country.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58The original mark that it had
0:08:58 > 0:09:01which, in this case, are these Dutch marks,
0:09:01 > 0:09:05relate to the time when it was originally made.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11So already by 1896, this was an old little piece of silver
0:09:11 > 0:09:14and it would have been imported for resale.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16What's its true purpose?
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Well, it's a miniature model of something called a charcoal brazier.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25In Holland, in the 18th and 19th centuries,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29they would heat their houses using a full-sized version of this.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Stick the glowing charcoal into that drawer,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35then, with the swing handle,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39transport it to the room you were heating in your Dutch house
0:09:39 > 0:09:41and hey presto, you don't need a fireplace,
0:09:41 > 0:09:46you don't need central heating, you've got a portable charcoal brazier.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Why's it so small, then?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51The other thing that the Dutch were frightfully keen on
0:09:51 > 0:09:54was furnishing their dolls' houses.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57And what this is is a specifically-made
0:09:57 > 0:10:00piece of dolls' house furniture.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Charming, isn't it?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04And what's it worth?
0:10:04 > 0:10:09The dealer didn't know it was a miniature piece of silver for a dolls' house.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12In fact, he didn't know what it was at all.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So he's asking £40 for it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17What would the dolls' house collector pay for it?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Say three times that?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23120 to £150, I'd say.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Now, that's enough to warm the cockles of your heart.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Cos it's freezing out here!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38This is quite fun.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42It's got a certain look about it, and if it was reasonably priced,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44that could be a good seller at auction.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48It's a good decorative art shape.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50It's made of aluminium, I think.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52It's got its tray as well, which is rather nice.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58Wooden handles. If that was... I daren't think. He's probably asking 60 to £70.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02But if it was a lot less than that, I think we should consider it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Could you tell us what the tea set is, with the tray?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- 25.- £25.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I think if we could get that for less, that is a steal.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14It's a steal. I think we should try 15.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Flash him a little smile and we might get somewhere.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Would you take 15?- No, I wouldn't. Sorry. I'll take £20.- 20?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- I'll do 20.- 20.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- 17?- No, sorry. 20 is the best on that.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32It's in good condition. I think the dealer is being extremely generous.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33It's quite unusual.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37You should shake his hand quickly before he changes his mind!
0:11:37 > 0:11:38- Thank you, sir.- Thank you.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Thank you very much.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Perfect. Come on, we've got to go!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Rain spoiling your hair, love?
0:11:46 > 0:11:51So, £20, and this sweet tea set is hopefully bargain number one.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53What a splendid box that is!
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Oh, blimey!- Is it really heavy?- Yes!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Careful!- Oh!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Quite interesting with the red veining, isn't it?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Yes.- Because normally this green onyx is sort of brown.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10It's a real sort of... It was first found in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco.
0:12:10 > 0:12:16Near Marrakesh. At first, onyx was incredibly expensive.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- And now...- It's so heavy...
0:12:18 > 0:12:19It is heavy, isn't it?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23The '70s telephones and lamp stands have rather killed it.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- I wouldn't want it on my side. - I wouldn't want it on mine.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Nice try, though, James!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- How are we for time?- How long have we got?- 18 minutes.- 18?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37But we're one down and we've spent a chunk of money. We're playing properly!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- We're just going to leave you £5. - Excellent!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Those are quite fun.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44There's a bridge box here, Lynne.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48I don't think they're very old, but I like those.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Is it a pair?- Yes.- Oh, it is, too. - With the lions on it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Why the lions?- Is that the name? - Were they in a shop?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58They're shop display.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03- I can see those being quite collectable in the right place.- Yes.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- They are quite fun.- They're tactile. - Could you use them as bookends?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11You could make them into bookends. I like the way you're thinking!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14They're a bit of a novelty, aren't they?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I'm sure they'll be very inexpensive.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18- VENDOR:- £18.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- How much?- 18.- No.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- £18 each or for the pair? - We'll definitely buy them for ten. - Shall we?- Yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- They're fun, aren't they? - A bit of fun.- These are really nice. If we can do a deal for £10.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Yes, we can.- It'll make our day. - OK. Thanks very much.- Thank you. - Great.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38So, item two for a tenner. Poo's bookends.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Actually, wooden shoe lasts.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Well, that wasn't too bad, was it? - No.- We've got two items.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48- We need to buy something big now. - Now we're going to be extravagant.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Trouble here? How are you getting on?
0:13:50 > 0:13:55We're doing quite well. We've got two items and we can now spend some big money.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Big money coming up?- Big money item is our final one.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04- What have you got in mind?- Well, we just like small pieces of furniture, maybe.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Children's chairs, or...
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- What you've got so far is rather peculiar. - Do you know what we've got?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I have a fair idea! These things get reported to me!
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Oh, no! Don't!- Anyway, how much have you got left to spend, roughly?
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- Um... We've spent £30, haven't we? - On two items.- There you go.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Buck up, spend the lot! Good luck, girls!
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Thank you!
0:14:27 > 0:14:32We'll find lots of smalls in here. Silver, jewellery, lots of goodies!
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Goody!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Oh.- What's that?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- A little shot glass! - That is so cute!
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- How much is that?- £38.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I'm not sure that would make a lot of profit, though.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49No.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Look at those antlers!- £240.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Do you really want to buy a stuffed deer's head?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59No, but my daughter would like me to!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- I think we'll say no to that. - No to Rudolf.- No.- No to Rudie.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- We've got a chess set.- OK.- OK.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- The bottoms are a bit worn. - A bit scabby, aren't they?
0:15:09 > 0:15:14- What are they made of?- The white ones are made of boxwood.- OK.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16They're turned boxwood.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20There was a very famous maker called Staunton who did these.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23It's not a bad weight. Always feel the weight.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I just saw one down here.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29You hold those. Just bring out a castle. Bring out a castle.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- OK.- Feel the respective weights of them.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38- That's a lot heavier.- I would always go for the heavier one.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40She thinks this is the cheaper set.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46She's put, I think, the better set at a cheaper price.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Which I don't quite understand.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52If we got it for, say, 25, £30, I think that would be quite a nice buy.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I recommend that buy far more than this one.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I'm not sure if the bottoms will put people off.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Do you think they will?
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- Would somebody be able to restore them easily? - Very easy. You just cut felt.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Look at that.- Yeah, I saw. - It looks kind of scary.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Rather pinched, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Ugly-looking. - Right. We know it's here.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Just not James's "knight"!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Sorry, couldn't resist!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21That's quite fun, isn't it?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- It's got age, hasn't it?- Got a bit of damage, but it's old.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- I like the deer up there.- Yes.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- It's got a sort of... - I like the woodwork. - ..country house look to it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- And I like the scrolls.- Yes.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It's probably again beyond our budget. Go and find out.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Find out what the price is.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Excuse me, are you the stallholder here?- I'm not.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Are you the stallholder over here?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Yes.- Could I talk to you about the mirror on the end?
0:16:52 > 0:16:57We just wanted a price on that magnificent mirror.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I think it's certainly early 19th-century.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Yeah. What's your budget?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04£150.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It cost me about 600!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I think it's gorgeous, actually. But thank you, anyway.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- You won't take £50 for it? - I'd love to, but...
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Nice try, Lynne!
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- That's quite a clean little fellow, isn't it?- Hmm.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20What would that be for?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's just a little novelty box.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I've seen these boxes sometimes split in two.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29They might introduce a right angle there for stamps.
0:17:29 > 0:17:3040 on that one.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Can I look at that little star one?
0:17:33 > 0:17:39Often, the eight-point star was associated with a chap called Barton.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43This is a little powder pot.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Sometimes these circular ones had little gaming counters.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51But they were slightly taller.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I like this one. It's really cute.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- I think that would do quite well. - I think so, too.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01They were for ladies, for rouge and powder, for covering things up.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- I quite like that. Do you?- I quite like it.- How much is that?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06It's priced at £33.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09The label there. This one's priced at 45.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12But the gentleman's said this one could be 30,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- that one could be 40.- OK.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20- I think I prefer the little one. - I prefer the little one. - Go with what you prefer.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Go for 30?- Yeah.- Yeah, OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26OK. You couldn't do 29, then?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29It would be lovely if you could. Could you, sir?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- 29?- 29.- Yes, OK.- Oh, lovely.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35That pound may make all the difference.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Yeah. Right(!)
0:18:37 > 0:18:39OK. Pressure's on. Ten minutes left.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Ercol has really revived.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49We're just outside Brighton for the auction, so that's not a bad spot.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Lynne's not listening to a word! - No. Lynne!
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Lynne!- Just talking about the Ercol.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00That can be very popular. We're very close to Brighton and it's popular in Brighton.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03That's a nice coffee table with the under tier.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- How much is it?- How much is this?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07£135.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08£135?!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11You are looking to flash some cash, Poo!
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- It's Ercol.- What's your best price on that?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Um... 110.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17110, Mark.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- Let's have a quick look over here and assess...- We'll be back. - Thank you.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- JULES:- That's sweet.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27That is sweet. May we look at the bird pin cushion?
0:19:27 > 0:19:33- That's English, but I brought it back from South Africa about a month ago.- Really?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It's a little wren.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37A little song bird.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38It's got English hallmarks.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I'm not sure about this one.
0:19:40 > 0:19:46- Perhaps maybe have a look around and come back if...- What,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- with the three minutes we have left? - Three minutes?!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Well, five minutes, actually.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53But you might need a plan.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- We need to keep an eye out still for the games.- The games.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00But if not, what shall we go for?
0:20:00 > 0:20:06- Something sweet?- Maybe go back to that stall with the little bird?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Or the chess set?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I think the bird is a bit wonky.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- I don't know.- I saw 120 on it.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Was it?- It said silver. I don't think it's a winner.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I think the chess set. If you could get that for 25...
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Right.- You think that's OK. - I think it's a good one.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Quite a cheap chess set.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Oh, dear.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28We'll come back to you!
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- What do you think?- I think it's a modernish table.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33It's very attractive.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I must admit it looks a little bit nicer from a distance!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Very nice(!)
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Two minutes, ladies!
0:20:40 > 0:20:46- Lynne, tell me what you think. - I think the Ercol is a genuine article
0:20:46 > 0:20:50and would possibly have an appeal at auction.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52You wouldn't take 105 for it, would you?
0:20:54 > 0:20:59- Just for us? Bale us out of a problem?- I will, my dear.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Oh, that's excellent. - You're so kind!
0:21:01 > 0:21:06The Ercol coffee table completes the trio for the reds. Now, blues,
0:21:06 > 0:21:07only seconds left!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- 14.- 15.
0:21:09 > 0:21:1116.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12This is the final countdown!
0:21:12 > 0:21:18I think it's a nice set. They won't go any lower than 35.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- OK.- 35. Wa-hey!
0:21:21 > 0:21:22- Let's go!- Done!
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Phew! Recap time.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Cue the fancy graphics!
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Lynne and Poo took Mark's advice and snapped up the affordable tea set
0:21:32 > 0:21:33for £20.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Poo fancied those shoe lasts as bookends for a tenner.
0:21:40 > 0:21:47Eventually, they upped the stakes, spending £105 on this trendy Ercol table with its dirty great stain!
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Right, girls, did you spend much?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Not as much as we intended to spend. - How much did you spend, Poo?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57£135.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Please may I have £165 of left-over lolly?
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Have you got it?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05You don't like handing that over at all, do you?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08It's like extracting the housekeeping money!
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Talking about investments, here comes £165 for you.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16What will you do with the cash?
0:22:16 > 0:22:21It's a lot of money, but I think I've found something which they'll really enjoy.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Ah! Good luck, girls. Good luck, Mark, with your quest.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Why don't we remind ourselves of what the blues bought, eh?
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Julie and Jess steamed out of the block buying this canal scene for £100.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38- Then Jess slammed on the brakes. - Won't the bottoms put people off?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm not sure about this one.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46Blimey! But eventually they fell for the Tunbridge ware rouge pot for 29.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48And went with James's favourite, the chess set,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51even with the funny knights, for £35.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I don't know when I've seen such happy contestants!
0:22:56 > 0:23:00I don't know what you've been doing! Have you had a lovely time?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Wonderful.- He's great, isn't he, Jess?- Fantastic.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05So how much did you spend overall?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- I think it was 164.- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12164. I'd like 136 of left-over lolly, please.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15That's my 136. Thank you very much.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Here you go, James.- Thank you. - Nice wodge of money.- Yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21What will you spend all this cash on?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24The girls wanted to buy a bit of silver as well.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- So I'll try and fulfil that.- OK.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Good luck with that. Go and warm up. Brilliant.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere really rather unusual.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39This is a ship's figurehead,
0:23:39 > 0:23:43once on the bowsprit of HMS Trafalgar.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48These aren't just fancy pieces of decoration, you know.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Oh, no. They're supposed to symbolise the very spirit of the vessel.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And here at Portsmouth's historic dockyard,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01is the best collection of naval figureheads in the country.
0:24:03 > 0:24:09They say that bowsprits are supposed to represent the spirit of the ship,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13and, indeed, affect the morale of the crew.
0:24:13 > 0:24:20If we look at this particular bowsprit, which came off HMS Eurydice,
0:24:20 > 0:24:25it doesn't exactly inspire one with any great sense of jollity!
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Who would have selected the figurehead to go on the ship
0:24:30 > 0:24:31in the first place?
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Well, generally speaking, they came from the officer class
0:24:36 > 0:24:38who would be well educated in the classics.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40In Greek and Roman.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45And the person who commissioned Eurydice would have understood the Greek legend
0:24:45 > 0:24:53about the young girl who was married to Orpheus, who stood on a snake one day and died.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58And Orpheus, in his rescue mission, made a fatal mistake.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03He glanced backwards on his journey up from the underworld with her
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and as a result, she disappeared in a wrath of air.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09And this is the moment that she disappeared,
0:25:09 > 0:25:14with this terribly painful expression on her face.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21Gradually, during the 19th century, the Navy used more and more steam-powered vessels
0:25:21 > 0:25:25which made these figureheads become redundant.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Not all figureheads, of course,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38are carved with three-dimensional sculptural emblems.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Some are simply carved with elements
0:25:42 > 0:25:46that reflect the power and majesty of the nation.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Including this one,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50which is carved with the royal coat of arms
0:25:50 > 0:25:56because it is the bowsprit from Queen Victoria's favourite yacht,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58the Victoria and Albert II.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01That was launched in 1855
0:26:01 > 0:26:05and was powered by paddle wheels.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Despite the fact that soon this was frightfully old-fashioned,
0:26:09 > 0:26:15Queen Victoria so loved the vessel, because Prince Albert had designed the interiors,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18that she refused to let it be scrapped.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Thus the Victoria and Albert II lived on
0:26:23 > 0:26:25until after her death,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29being scrapped in 1904
0:26:29 > 0:26:32when it died of natural causes!
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Now, I wonder if our teams will be carving out a profit over at the auction?
0:26:44 > 0:26:48We've skipped across Sussex from Ardingly to just outside Horsham
0:26:48 > 0:26:54- to be at Denham's with Simon Langton. Good morning.- Morning, Tim. - Lovely to be here.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Now, the three-piece picquot tea set.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Do you rate these things? Do you sell them?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02We do sell them. They're hit and miss.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04You either hit or you don't.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Yes.- I don't like them, to be honest. Makes me think of the 1950s.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- What's your estimate? - 30 to 50 on those.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- OK. £20 paid.- Oh, we stand a chance. - Lynne and Patricia will be pleased.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Next is the shoe trees.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Mr Testoni.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25- Do you know him?- No. Very big in the Italian shoe market, I would think.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- What are they worth? - Ten to £20 on those.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31They paid £10. A bit of fun, though.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35And their last item is the Ercol elm low coffee table.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Looks as if it could do with a bit of a buff-up to me!
0:27:39 > 0:27:42It's the right colour, thankfully, the light stuff, not the dark.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Very trendy amongst students and retro people.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Yes. What's it worth? - 40 to 60 on that.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50£105 paid.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53That is their Waterloo.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- It is.- I'm afraid.- Retail price there, you see.
0:27:56 > 0:28:02That's the trouble. That's where they'll fall down. They need their bonus buy. Let's have a look.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Now, Lynne and Poo.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09The bonus buy moment. You spent a magnificent £135.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12You gave £165 to Mark Stacey.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- What did you spend it on, Mark? - I spent it on...
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- this box.- Oh!- Oh, my word!
0:28:17 > 0:28:24Now, we had a chat the other day and I know you like nautical items.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27When I saw this, it's got the anchor on it, but if you look on the top,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30you have all these little love messages.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35- A bird with a love letter in his beak.- How charming! - I think this was done,
0:28:35 > 0:28:39it's a crude little box with a heart on the side there...
0:28:39 > 0:28:44- Somebody on a ship.- Yes. Probably travelling a long way.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48While he was doing it, he whiled away his hours creating this for a loved one.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- I thought that was rather fun. - It's quite heavy.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Priveted, as we call these sort of things.- It's sweet.- Lovely.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Does that close right down?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It should do. It did on the day,
0:29:00 > 0:29:04but it's gone sentimental on us all. Temperamental.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- It's got a bit inset at the back. - Is that a repair?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- What?- I thought it might have a secret...
0:29:10 > 0:29:17- Oh, yes! It has!- You are such a sharp-eyed one, Poo!
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- For your love letters!- Yes.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21We have to go with this, it's delightful!
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- How much did you spend on it? - Quite a lot of money, thinking about it.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31- We gave you quite a lot of money! - You did, which was naughty because I wanted less!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33But 110.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Right.- £110.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38How much do you think we'll make on that?
0:29:38 > 0:29:40You're straight in there, aren't you?
0:29:41 > 0:29:46Well, I'd like to see a profit of again 20 or £30. But who knows?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Here we go, girls. Very intriguing.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51That's absolutely lovely. Well done.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56Cogitate for a bit longer, because your moment to decide will be after the sale of your three items.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01But for viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thought.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Right, Simon.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Well, it's a bit lumpy, isn't it?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Yes. It's what I call shed work.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- Yeah.- The man did it in his shed of a weekend.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14On a rainy day.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Well, it took him a long time to do,
0:30:16 > 0:30:20and I think it was probably done in 1850, don't you?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24It's got that 1850s look about it. We're talking 40 to £60 on that one.
0:30:24 > 0:30:31Mark will be devastated! He paid £110 and it's supposed to be a bonus buy.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35But maybe the team won't go with it. Anyway,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38that's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:30:38 > 0:30:44Julie and Jess, the first item that James Braxton found for them is this watercolour.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- What do you think?- Nice thing. A bit speculative.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Not quite sure who MG, or MC, is it, on the bottom there.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Talking, I suppose, 75, 125 on it.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58OK, James paid £100.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02I think, like you, he also feels it's very speculative.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06And this little something for the weekend
0:31:06 > 0:31:10is, I think, quite decorative and charming and it might just take off.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- It's top drawer of its type. - Of its type.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15What about that wee Tunbridge box?
0:31:15 > 0:31:20That's quite a pretty little box. Tunbridge Wells is not far away.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24There are collectors for it, a nice portable antique type thing.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28I suppose we're talking 30 to £50 on that one.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32£29 paid by the eagle-eyed Braxton, so that's good.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37And their last piece is the chess set,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39which I believe is complete.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41It is complete, but it's a stonking pack.
0:31:41 > 0:31:47Chess sets are very, very popular, worldwide, with America and so on.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It's been photographed for the internet.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Has it? You're on the internet.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55On the internet here. It could make all the difference.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Talking 50 to 75 for this one. - £35 paid.
0:31:57 > 0:32:03- Good price.- The entire team agreed on this so that's very happy.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06They'll be delighted to maybe double their money. Super.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Well, it'll all depend on how the painting performs.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14If it doesn't do so well, they'll need their bonus buy. Let's have a look.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Girls, you remember spending £164.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21He had £136 of left-over lolly.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22What did James spend it on?
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I went large. I spent something from the land of the rising sun.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29A mighty pot!
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Wow.- Hey.- That's colourful. - Isn't it lovely?
0:32:32 > 0:32:36I rather like that. I'm quite surprised.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41We weren't too sure what you'd get!
0:32:41 > 0:32:43How old is it, James?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46I think turn of the century. It's very well painted.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50It's got very nice panels which are very well painted, finger panels.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55And lovely chrysanthemums rushing around. It's Japanese, rather than Chinese.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00And it's just a really lovely porcelain pot.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- How much did you pay for it? - £70.- 70.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Do you think £70 is good, then, Jess?
0:33:07 > 0:33:11- Yeah. Yeah, I think...- It's bright and breezy.- It's reasonable.
0:33:11 > 0:33:18I would be pleased if this made £100, or being an old sucker like me, I'd pay £100 for this!
0:33:18 > 0:33:23- Possibility of 20, 30, £40 profit, there.- OK.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Mull that over. Your choice comes a bit later.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29But for you at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Here we go, Simon. 54 million for that one?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35No.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Not today!
0:33:36 > 0:33:39It's Japanese Imari. A bit out of fashion at the moment.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- It was the in thing for many, many years.- Yes.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44But sadly no more.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Probably talking 30 to £50 on that one.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49£70 paid.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54- Oh, dear!- So as a bonus buy, it's going to be a real struggle, isn't it?
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- I think so.- Anyway, we look forward to a successful auction
0:33:58 > 0:34:02and to looking at your performance with interest. Thank you. Good luck!
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Girls, are you feeling nervy?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Um, apprehensive.- Are you, Lynne? - A little bit.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Is it like setting out for a sail in a full gale?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- No.- No. Not at all like that.- No.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Is it like setting off to France and not knowing if you'll arrive?
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- It's anticipating what'll be wrong when we get there.- Yes.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36So the three-piece tea set is a 30 to £50 estimate. You paid £20.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- It's quite shiny out there. - It's had a polish.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44They do their best to make things look as good as possible. Here it comes.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47The three-piece metal tea service.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50There we are. Highly collectable, these things.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53What do we say for this one?
0:34:53 > 0:34:57£20, do we say? Come along. I'm bid ten, 12, 14, 16,

0:35:00 > 0:35:0326. 28. 30. £30 now.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Are we done and selling now at £30?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08At £30 all done, are we?
0:35:08 > 0:35:09£30 is plus ten.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13You paid 20. Made £10 profit. Here we go.
0:35:13 > 0:35:19144 is the pair of beech and gilt metal advertising shoe trees.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24Approximately size eight.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28I know this cos I'm 8½ and they don't fit me!
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Size eight. What do we say for them? £10, do we say?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Five to get us going.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36I'm bid five pounds. Six. Seven.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Eight. Nine. Ten.
0:35:38 > 0:35:4212, 14, 16, 18, 20.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44And two, now. 24.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Seated now at £22. Are we done now at £22?
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Only £10 the pair. At £22, then, all done and selling now.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55- Wow!- That's plus £12.- Amazing! - Steady, girls!
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Lot 142, then.
0:35:57 > 0:36:04The 1970s, here we are, the 1970s light Ercol oval coffee table.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06There we are. Ever popular Ercol.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10And I am bid 30 and five. 40.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11And five. 50.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13And five. 60.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18With me now at £60. Are we all done and selling at £60? 60, are we?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- £60.- Oh, no!
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Bad luck, girls. You are minus 45 on that.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26But you had £22 before that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Which means you are minus 23.
0:36:29 > 0:36:35- You are minus £23.- It's not as bad as it could be.- Quite right.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39Who would have thought Testoni would have come up at £22?
0:36:39 > 0:36:41That is a real result!
0:36:41 > 0:36:44OK. Minus £23. You have a big decision now.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47What are you going to do about Mark's box?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Minus £23 could be a winning score.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Or do you want a tickle at the box?
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- We love the box.- I love the box, but I don't think it'll make a profit.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Mark paid a little too much for that box.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- So that's your...- Awfully sorry, Mark.- That's your decision.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- We're going to decline it.- Decline the box, much as we love it.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- Fine.- Will we hear when it comes up? - Yes.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- So, no bonus buy.- No bonus buy. - OK, here it comes anyway.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17See what happens.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20The 19th-century sarcophagus-shaped box.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25The lid decorated with figures of Faith, Hope and Charity.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28And the greatest of all of these, is, of course, Charity!
0:37:28 > 0:37:31There we are. Heard that somewhere before!
0:37:31 > 0:37:32What do we say for this one?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34I'm bid 50. And five.
0:37:34 > 0:37:3760. And five. 70.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41With me now at £70. Are we all done and selling at £70?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Away it goes at 70, then.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45That's minus 40.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Minus 40. So you made the right decision, girls.- Yes.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53So your final position is minus £23, which could easily be a winning score.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Don't say a word to the blues.- No!
0:37:56 > 0:37:57We'll keep quiet!
0:38:04 > 0:38:07So, Jules, are you feeling all right?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Quietly confident, I think. Yeah,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12hopefully we'll do quite well.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15First up is your picture. Here it comes.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20160. 160 is the Glasgow School watercolour drawing
0:38:20 > 0:38:22of the canal scene.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30And five. 60. And five.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41Are we done and selling at £110?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43All done at 110, are we?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45That's your worst lot!
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- Well done, James! Ye of little faith!- Magic's still there!
0:38:49 > 0:38:55- Yes. Plus £10. Marvellous.- Really good.- Let's see what happens with the Tunbridge pot.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58The cylindrical Tunbridge ware box.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01A rouge pot. Do what you will with it.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03What do we say for this one? £30 for it, do we say?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05£20 for it, then?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Come along, now. Ten if you must.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11I'm bid five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. At £10, then.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Are we all done and selling now at £10?
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Cheap lot here at £10. Going to sell it. 12. Fresh place. 14. 16, sir?
0:39:18 > 0:39:2116 with you. All done and selling now at £16.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25£16. I don't like that.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29£16 is minus £13. This isn't supposed to happen!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Overall you're minus three.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Look out, here comes the chess set.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37The Staunton boxwood and ebony chess set.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40There we are. Boxed for you. What do we say for a chess set?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43£50 for it, do we say? 30, then?
0:39:43 > 0:39:4520. Come along, now.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47I'm bid 20 at the back. Do I see two?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49At £20, now. I'm looking for two.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52At £20, then. Going to sell at 20. No further bids?
0:39:52 > 0:39:56And two here. 24. 26. 28. 30.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00And two. 34. 32 at the back, there.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- All done and selling... - Is it complete?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05At £32. A complete chess set.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07At £32. I'm selling at 32.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Oh, dear! £32.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12£32. That's minus three pounds.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Which means overall, you're minus six pounds.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18£100 estimate!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- I feel really embarrassed for you. - We started off so well!
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- £32 for a complete... I can't believe that.- That's cheap.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31They got a bargain!
0:40:31 > 0:40:34I'd say checkmate, that's what I'd say!
0:40:34 > 0:40:37What are you going to do? Are you going with the Japanese pot?
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- Yeah.- Yeah.- Minus £6 could be a winning score.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45We said if we're in the minus, we'd go for it to try and push it up.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48You wouldn't just ring-fence your losses?
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- No?- We trust him. - You're going with it, yes?
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Going with the bonus buy? - Definitely.- Here it comes.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57The 19th-century Japanese Imari porcelain vase.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Character marks to the base. Not a bad-looking vase.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05I'm bid £20. And two. 24. 26. 28. 30.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07And two. 34. 36.
0:41:07 > 0:41:1138. 40. With me at £40. And two.
0:41:11 > 0:41:1444. 46. 46 seated there. Are we all done now?
0:41:14 > 0:41:18At £46. Going to sell at 46, are we?
0:41:18 > 0:41:21What did he sell it for? 46?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24£46 is four short of 50.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28That's minus 24, which means overall you are minus £30.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- That's OK.- Minus £30.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33That's not too bad. It could be a winning score.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- It could be.- It could be.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37We'll find out in a minute.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38Don't talk to the reds.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- OK.- Well done, you two. - Go out with smiles!- Yes.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59This is fun. The auction is still going on. Hear all this racket.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- Have you been chatting to one another?- No.- No?- Not at all.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Well, it is extremely close, this competition.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12It's no secret to the teams that you've both failed to make a profit.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Sadly, you are not going home with pound notes.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18I'd like to call it a tie, but it isn't exactly a tie.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21In fact, the team that's marginally behind are the blues.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Oh, no!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27There's no shame in it, darling, with having minus £30.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Jules, are you terribly disappointed?
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Yes, we did want to win. Never mind.
0:42:33 > 0:42:39- When I tell you there's only seven pounds between you, you don't feel so bad?- No.- No.
0:42:39 > 0:42:45Great team. But the victors today, girls. You didn't go with the bonus buy.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48So you did ring-fence your losses at minus 23!
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Minus £23 and you're ahead today. Congratulations.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- Thank you.- You can walk tall.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Had a good time?- Lovely. - We had a great time.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Join us soon for more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes!
