0:00:04 > 0:00:10Gosh! Is it that time of day already? Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44It's a generation game today
0:00:44 > 0:00:48here at the Edinburgh Antiques and Collectors Fair.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53I just hope we're not teaching a grandmother how to suck eggs.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55'Yes, today we're in Scotland
0:00:55 > 0:01:00'and raring to sniff out the best bargains in Edinburgh are a grandson and grandma.'
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- It suits you, Jean.- And it matches the sparkle in your eye.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06'A mother and a daughter team.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Oh, that's lovely! - Are you a fan?- Oh, yes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:16'Then we head west to Glasgow. But will either team find their fortune under the hammer of Anita Manning?'
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Any advance on £60? If you can't afford diamonds,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21this is the nearest you'll get to it.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26'But before we do all that, let's meet the teams.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Hi, everybody. Lovely to see you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34So, we have got here Billy and Jean.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38The grandson-grandma combo from heaven. I love them.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- So why did you decide, Billy, to link up with your grandma? - Well, we live quite close together
0:01:43 > 0:01:45so we spend a lot of time with each other.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I think with my youthful spirit and her wisdom, we make a good team.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Ah. So this is a tactical alliance.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Yeah.- Across the generations. - Definitely.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Billy, you're a student, but you've got an additional passion. - Yeah, swimming.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04I was a competitive swimmer for about ten years and gave up last year and now I'm coaching.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08You're very modest about our achievements as a professional swimmer.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10So give us some statistics.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I was ranked top 50 in the world for a number of events so, yeah, it was good.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Well, that's pretty cool. - Yeah, it's good fun.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- But it involves, presumably, endless training.- Yeah.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24That was a problem, 28 hours a week at peak time.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- It's just really too much to fit everything else in.- Yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- It takes up a bit of the social life.- Cuts down on the drinking time.- Exactly.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And when you're a student, you've got to enjoy that side life.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40When you spend so much time in the water... If I spend more than eight minutes in the bath, to go crinkly.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45How does it work for you guys doing all this practising in the pool?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47You just turn into a prune pretty much, yeah.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I think you'll do swimmingly today. Jean, do you have an interest in antiques?
0:02:51 > 0:02:57- It says here that you like your Royal Crown Derby.- Yes, I do. And Royal Doulton and Wedgewood.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Will you two be able to agree what you're going to buy today, Jean?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- We'll compromise, put it that way. - Will you?- Yeah.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- We never argue, do we?- No, never argue. I'll just follow her lead.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Would you be going for more of the Victorian ornament
0:03:11 > 0:03:14and you perhaps something modern or what?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Actually, I prefer Victorian stuff, as well.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20A bit that's got something hidden inside it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23So if there's any items like that, definitely go for them.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25A box with a sovereign hidden inside?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Exactly. That sort of thing, yeah. - I think they're going to be cunning enough.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- Now for the Blues, Shona and Eileen. Welcome.- Thank you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Tell us about your family, Shona. - Well, we're kind of opposites
0:03:38 > 0:03:41but we're all very creative.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45My eldest daughter and my ex-husband are very clever
0:03:45 > 0:03:48and Eileen and I are more creative.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53But they're more into music and we're more into the art and design side of things.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- So would you say you're quite practical in your creativity?- Yes.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I like to do landscapes and I do still lifes
0:04:01 > 0:04:05and at the moment I'm doing a portrait, a double portrait
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- of my girlfriend's grandchildren. - Lovely.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- So, Eileen, you're also artistic. - Yes.- Do you paint, too?
0:04:12 > 0:04:18No, no. I have done jewellery classes, jewellery-making classes.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20When I was younger, I used to make my own clothes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- Yes.- And I really love gourmet cooking. I think my creative side comes out in that
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- cos you get the pleasure of eating it, as well.- Well, quite!
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- And give so much pleasure to others! - Exactly! It's a win-win situation. - Certainly is.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- But you love a bit of live music. - Yes, I do. I love going to live gigs.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Glasgow's a great place to go and see them.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- I did say if I won the lottery, I would go to live music every night if I could.- Oh.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51What I love about coming to Scotland is that you get this great divide between the Glaswegians
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- and the Edinburgh folks. - We have an east and west divide!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57We're shopping in Edinburgh but we're selling in Glasgow.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00And the Reds come from Edinburgh
0:05:00 > 0:05:06but you're going to have to go to Glasgow to do your selling, all of which is absolutely fascinating.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Anyway, now the money moment. Here's your £300.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Ooh, I say, Glasgow meets Edinburgh.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20A battle royal.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24'And which experts will be guiding our teams today?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26'Well, Reds Billy and Jean
0:05:26 > 0:05:30'are being led by their very own man in the mirror, Nick Hall.'
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- What are the tactics today? - Well, I think, if we would buy it, hopefully someone else would buy it.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Something unusual, quirky?- Yeah. - Unusual and quirky works well.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Let's get stuck in. Come on.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48'Hoping to bowl over the Blues is the one and only Jeremy Lamond.'
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Ceramics.- Ceramics. - Art Deco. Glass.- Art Deco.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I can see a lot of Art Deco and ceramics over there
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- so shall we go that way?- Yep.- OK.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01'So, both teams have a plan of sorts.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05'Let's see if they stick to it. Yeah, right.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09'Start those stopwatches, crew.'
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- What about this large forklift? - Oh, yeah!- If you get that for 50, it'd be all right.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15That's a spoon and a half, isn't it?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Goodness me, look at that. - You'd need a big mouth.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Do people drink in Scotland at all? - No, not really.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm not very keen on buying stuff if it's not got a price on it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31You want the profit. Show me the money. I know.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35'Now, Shona wanted some Art Deco glass.'
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- These are nice.- What have you found?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Now, that's nice. - There's three of them.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- There's four of them. - Oh, they're gorgeous.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47They are chromium-plate, not silver.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- There's no silver mark on there. - But that's engine-turned, is it not?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Enamel... - This is foil-back Guilloche enamel.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00- I love that design and the colour and the different shapes are beautiful, as well.- Isn't it, yeah?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03This one's got a wee bit of a crack at the top.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07If you've got any problems with the enamel, it's really a no-no in terms of sale.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10We could ask how much they are, so that we know.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- What's the price?- The price is £75 but I'll do it for 45.
0:07:15 > 0:07:1840? Please?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Well, I suppose that makes it £10 a piece.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- And they are damaged, so yes. - Oh, thank you very much! That's wonderful!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Thank you! - Just don't make too much money.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29'Blimey! You don't waste any time, girls!'
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Thank you.- Well done, ladies. Four minutes in. All to play for.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- OK, then.- So we'll finish after 10, do you think? - THEY LAUGH
0:07:38 > 0:07:44'And Shona's stuck to her plan of buying some Art Deco glass with item number one.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48'Now, Jean said she was looking for something quirky.'
0:07:48 > 0:07:52This is something that's quite in vogue at the minute.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Post-war Scandinavian design. And this is a Danish dish.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It's Royal Copenhagen
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- and it's from their Fajance range. This'll be 1970s.- OK.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I mean, that's sort of fashionable at the moment.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Very much so, yeah. I mean, at £60, I don't know if there's much profit left in it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I think it's the sort of thing at auction you'd see with a £40 to £60 estimate.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I mean, there's a whole load of this sort of stuff on the stall.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22It might be that we can find something else with more of a profit margin left in it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26'Nice try, Nick. I think you talked yourself out of that one.'
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Aw, that's quite cute!
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- The pussycat in the mirror. - 90.- 90?- A bit dear.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- 9 is more like it. - SHE LAUGHS
0:08:36 > 0:08:39A bit of Carlton Ware for £15.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Frae Dunbar?- Here's to ye. £15?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- With a Scottish theme at a Scottish saleroom?- I don't know.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51It could be rare, that. If you don't like it, you don't like it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'd rather leave it. But I'll think about it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56That £200 goes back on the shelf.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02'You wish, Jeremy. The Reds have spotted another unusual-looking item.'
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- That's a nice piece of decorative art.- It is nice.- Yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Ceramic. I suspect this is Amphora, is it?- Yes, it is. It's Austrian Amphora.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Very typical of these 1920s ceramics.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16It's erring towards the Art Deco period
0:09:16 > 0:09:19with these lovely enamels on there.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24And then they're sat next to this very matted glaze, as well,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- so it's a nice contradiction. - Nice contrast.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32- For me, having this stork on there is nice.- I think that's something you could see someone buying.- Yeah.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- It looks to be in good condition. I can't see...- There's no nicks on it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Is these any restoration?- Nope.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Why are you biting it? - I'm just checking for restoration.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47When ceramics are restored and they're reglazed, you get a softness
0:09:47 > 0:09:49and it's hard to pick up with your fingertips,
0:09:49 > 0:09:53but you'll get a grittiness and the softness will pick up on your teeth.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- But that seems to be all right, I think.- Uh-huh.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- What sort of money? - 45.- 45?- 45, yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- £45, it's not... - You can't go too wrong with that.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Is there any movement?
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- I'll do it for 40. - £40. That's fantastic.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- 40 quid.- Oh, great!- I think, for your first buy, we like it
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- and you were saying if we like it, someone else will buy it.- Yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I think for 40 quid, you've got a chance with that.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- Definitely.- Yeah. - Can you give the man the money. - Yep.- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29'And the Reds have a bird in the hand with their first buy.'
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- We've only used eight minutes. We're well on track. - Plenty of time to browse.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36'Famous last words.'
0:10:36 > 0:10:38These are from the Great Exhibition in Glasgow.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Without knowing anything about it, what would you pay for it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Probably about £20.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- OK. So how much is it? - 70 for the pair.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52You might get another knowledgeable dealer that will buy it but that's the risk you take.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55'So, lessons in bargain hunting from Mr Lamond.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- 'I hope you were listening at the back there.'- Clever tactics.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03'OK, class over. Let's see if you can put that into practise.'
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- Oh, that's lovely! - Are you a fan?- Oh, yes! THEY LAUGH
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- That's gorgeous. - You're a gardener, though, aren't you?- Oh, I think it's beautiful!
0:11:12 > 0:11:17It's different, isn't it? It's very difficult to know whether it's particularly old,
0:11:17 > 0:11:22but it's following the Japanese aesthetic movement. And you like it. That's the point.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- You like it.- I think it's wonderful. - You like the fans.- Yeah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- And it's practical, as well.- It is practical. You can imagine three pots of beautiful geraniums on that.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- Yeah, it's wonderful. - How much is that?- 60.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- It's a possibility, isn't it? - Would you take 40 for it?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- All right, I'll take 40. - Thank you! That's wonderful! Thank you very much!
0:11:44 > 0:11:50'So, no messing about there. Shona knows what she likes and that's two items in the bag.'
0:11:51 > 0:11:54You just never know when you come to these places
0:11:54 > 0:11:57exactly what you're going to find.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Did I think this morning when I walked into this hall
0:12:01 > 0:12:04that I was going to find a grand piano?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07"Where?" you might ask.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10"Here," I would say. Look at that.
0:12:10 > 0:12:17Isn't that the most perfect miniature grand piano you ever did see?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20All made out of filigree work.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Now, filigree work is simply
0:12:23 > 0:12:29extremely fine little curlicues of solid silver wire
0:12:29 > 0:12:34wrought expertly into all sorts of shapes and objects.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37If you look at the detail on this grand piano,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40it is extraordinary.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44And that cover, effectively the cover on the top of the grand piano,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47hinges open like that.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Apart from being very decorative,
0:12:49 > 0:12:54I think this thing had a possible practical purpose.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Within the hinged cover, you could've secured a solid piece of scent
0:12:59 > 0:13:02and this thing, with its perforations all over,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06would've had the effect of a room freshener.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Dating from the 1860s to 1880s.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15What's it worth? Well, you can buy it here in the fair for £35,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17which is not expensive.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I mean, just look at all the work that's been involved in making it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24What would I expect it to make in a specialist sale?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Something like £150 to £200
0:13:28 > 0:13:30should strike the right note.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- These are quite fun. - Oh, they're nice.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Snuff boxes.- Very smart.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43These were made in the Georgian period.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48The top will lift up. The snuff would go in there
0:13:48 > 0:13:52and the gentleman would take a pinch, as you do about your daily business.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55What's the best that could be?
0:13:55 > 0:13:5758 would be my best price.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02I quite like it. I just think it's whether it'll make a profit or not. That could be the difficult bit.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07'Billy's got his thinking cap on, or should I say swimming cap?'
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Oh, I love that tea set. - That's very nice.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- What's the maker? - George Logan is the designer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- A Scottish designer. - See, I love that.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Do you like that?- That's the Glasgow rose.- Yeah. How much is this?
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- I've got £150 on it. - No. It's lovely, though.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Now, this is pretty.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- It's very pretty.- Isn't that nice? - Lovely.- Really nice.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Stands out a lot.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Very stylish, isn't it? - It is, it's lovely.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41It's made of glass, but it's what they call malachite glass.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- It's meant to simulate the stone malachite.- Yeah.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- It's very Art Deco.- Beautiful.- Yeah.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50How much do you think a piece like this could go at auction for?
0:14:50 > 0:14:55With Art Deco collectors, the market is quite buoyant at the minute
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and that's a really stylish thing.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01That would be comfortable at somewhere in the £50 to £80 mark.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- How much is it?- Er, 75.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Right, 75. - It's the high end of that.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12At the moment it is, yeah, but maybe we could work some magic on the stall holders.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- What's your best price? - The very best price I can do is 60.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- 60?- I can't come down any lower than that.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24I think you've got a chance with that, cos that would appeal to a lot of buyers.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26And if you both like it...
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- And you can afford it, we've got plenty of money left.- Right.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33It's a sweet little thing. But it's up to you two.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39I think people would buy that at auction. I think people would go and buy that. Do you want to go for it?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- We'll go for this, thank you. - Yep, go for it.- Thank you.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46'A considered approach there by Billy and Jean
0:15:46 > 0:15:49'who both fancy their chances on their second purchase.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51'Now, who's this?'
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- We've been on Bargain Hunt, my friend Effie and I.- Yes.
0:15:55 > 0:16:01- And we've just met Tim. - So have you come to give us some pearls of wisdom?- Yes!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Yes! - How did you get on when you did it?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- Well...- We won... BOTH: £252!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11We could do with some of your luck, I think.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Do you want to rub me for luck? - Ohh, there we go!
0:16:14 > 0:16:19'Yes, rub some luck off those lovely ladies! It can't do any harm.'
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- It's topaz, isn't it? - Is it not amber?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- It is amber, you're right.- It's nice. The silver detail's lovely.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28£45. A wee bit dear.
0:16:28 > 0:16:3319th century, Indian, hand-engraved. A spice container.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- British Army shell in the Days of the Raj.- That's pretty cool.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The damage is bothering me.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45It's a big old lump all right, isn't it?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49These are plate and they're modern reproductions.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53All right to use at home, but you ain't going to get a bean in the saleroom.
0:16:53 > 0:17:01'It seems their borrowed luck isn't helping the Reds track down that third elusive item.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05'Time is ticking by. There's only 15 minutes left, Blues.'
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- This is Royal Crown Derby. - Yes.- Butter dish.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- It's in the Imari palette. - Oh, right.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Which is a Japanese design, underglazed blue, iron red and gilding.- Right.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It's taken from a Japanese design shipped from the port of Imari
0:17:21 > 0:17:27and it was copied by British potters in the 18th and 19th century
0:17:27 > 0:17:30and was taken on in a big way by Royal Crown Derby.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- And that's what you've got here. - Uh-huh.- You do know it's damaged just at the end there?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Oh, so it is.- Yeah. - That could be easily glued in.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44- Yeah, but once you start with damaged porcelain... - It's only £23.- Is it?- Mm-hm.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46If we had it for 15, that would be worth a go.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Cos you've got the little box.- Yeah, I like it. I think it's lovely.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56- Right.- But it is a bit damaged, so... - Shall we try to get some money off it?- You want a bit of money off it.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59'It's time to step up the plate, Eileen.'
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- It is damaged. What would be your best price?- I could come down to 15.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Thank you very much. That's great. Thank you. That's lovely.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12'And with only a few minutes left, that completes the buys for the Blues. Well done, team!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17'Come on, Reds, you're running out of time.'
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- This is elegant, isn't it? Look at that.- That's lovely, yeah.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- Very much in the Art Deco style. - It's two separate things.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Yeah, you've got a bracelet and a necklace.- I quite like that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34The thing that makes it very special is the fact that it is an absolutely matching set.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- What sort of money are they? - It's 110 for the set.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43So many people have a beautiful necklace and they match it up with something
0:18:43 > 0:18:45and it never quite comes off.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47But to have a set like that is fantastic.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51The nice thing is that they've stayed together all their life.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54If we could get it under the 100 mark...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57The lowest I could possibly go on it would be 95.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- It does sit so well there, doesn't it? Beautiful.- It suits you, Jean.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- And it matches the sparkle in your eye, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08'You old charmer, Nick.'
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- You know these aren't diamonds, don't you?- Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14We're looking at paste. That's why it's under 100 quid.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19It's probably suited well for eveningwear, cocktail events.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22'Cut to the chase, Billy!'
0:19:22 > 0:19:27- Do you think it'll sell at auction? - Oh, there'll always be buyers for something as beautiful as this.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- We'll go for it, I think. - Are you sue?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Yeah, let's go for it. - Both in agreement?- Yeah.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- There is one piece each, of course. - THEY LAUGH
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Very fetching you'll look, too.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41'Just don't wear it in the pool, Billy.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- 'And with that...' - CANNON FIRES
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Boom, boom. Well, that's Edinburgh's way of saying time's up.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53'So, let's see how the Red Team got on.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57'Their first purchase was the stork pattern ceramic vase.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01'But will it deliver some profit at £40?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04'They both loved the malachite vase at £60.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09'And they handed over a sparkling £95
0:20:09 > 0:20:12'for the costume necklace and matching bracelet.'
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Hi, guys.- Hi. - How did you get on, Jean? All right?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Oh, very well, thank you.- You were a bit nervy to start off with.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- A wee bit.- A wee bit. But you settled down very nicely.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Of course, having such an athletic teammate helps, doesn't it?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Is that me you're talking about? - Oh, yes.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Anyway, you've spent up. How much did you spend in the end?
0:20:35 > 0:20:41- Er...- 195.- 195. Can I have £105 of leftover lolly, please?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Thank you very much. 105.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47So, Nick, what are you going to spend that on, old fruit?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51I'm going to spend it very carefully. That's a lot of money to spend and there's a lot of good buys
0:20:51 > 0:20:55so I'm very buoyed up with this. I think we could do well for you.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Well, that's quite the right sentiment. Good luck with it all.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Meanwhile, why don't we check out how the Blues got on, eh?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06'Shona and Eileen steamed out of the blocks, buying dressing table jars
0:21:06 > 0:21:09'for £40.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12'Gardener Shona was a big fan of this metal plant stand,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15'handing over another 40 notes.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19'And Eileen negotiated the Imari butter dish and knife
0:21:19 > 0:21:22'down to £15 for their final purchase.'
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- How much did you spend all round? - £95.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- What, on the whole lot?- Yes. - That's pathetic.- I know.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32So who's got the £205 of leftover lolly?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- I do. - OK. Thank you very much, Eileen, that's lovely. I won't count it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I'll trust you. I'll hand that wodge over.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- There's enough here to buy... - A quality item that's going to bring a big profit.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Very good luck, teams. Meanwhile, we're heading off to the Borders
0:21:46 > 0:21:49to Traquair House.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57'Situated near Peebles on the Scottish Borders,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00'Traquair House is heaped in history.
0:22:00 > 0:22:07'The country residence has played host to no fewer than 27 Scottish kings and queens,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11'one of whom was Mary Queen of Scots, who visited in 1566.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18'This is the King's Room, where she was said to have stayed with her husband, Lord Darnley,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22'and her baby son, who was to become James VI of Scotland
0:22:22 > 0:22:24'and James I of England.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29'Someone who knows all about the royal connections is Catherine Maxwell Stuart,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33'the 21st Lady of Traquair.'
0:22:33 > 0:22:38- Morning.- Very nice to meet you. Now, your family name is, of course, synonymous with this house.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Yes, the Stuarts of Traquair have been here since 1491,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44so that's over 500 years,
0:22:44 > 0:22:51and the line started when the Earl of Buchan gave a house to his second son, who was James Stuart,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and he became the first Laird of Traquair,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and 21 generations later, here I am.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Quite something, I have to say.- Yes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03So what does history relate about Mary Queen of Scots' visit?
0:23:03 > 0:23:08She came here in 1566, probably because the second Laird was the captain of her bodyguard.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14And she was quite well recorded when she came and she was with her husband, Darnley,
0:23:14 > 0:23:20and she brought her very newly-born son, who was later to be James VI of Scotland and James I of England.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25And do you think the babe went a-bed in this very crib?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Yes, absolutely. Because the second laird was actually the captain of Mary's bodyguard,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- we had these very strong associations with Mary.- Mm.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39While she was here, unfortunately, herself and her husband had a strong disagreement
0:23:39 > 0:23:42and apparently she felt she may have been pregnant again
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and over dinner she whispered to her husband,
0:23:44 > 0:23:48could she be excused going on the hunting expedition the next day?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52And apparently, Darnley turn around to all the assembled company and said,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55"But ought not we to work a mare well when she's in full?"
0:23:55 > 0:23:58which was considered a very un-Christian-like thing to say
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- and he was rebuked strongly by the Earl of Traquair.- I bet he was!
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I very much liked the look of the gates when I drove in on the left-hand side.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Tell me about those. - Those are very famous gates
0:24:09 > 0:24:15because those gates have been closed since 1745, when Bonny Prince Charlie was reported to have come here.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20And this was as things were going well and he was on his campaign to regain the Scottish throne,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24and the Earl gave him his support, and as he left through the gates,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28the Earl closed the gates behind him and promised they would never be opened
0:24:28 > 0:24:31until a Stuart king returned to the throne,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35thinking this was a nice gesture and they'd be opened again in a few months' time,
0:24:35 > 0:24:40but sadly that never came to pass, so the gates have remained closed every since.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- And the drive you came down today is still referred to as the temporary drive.- How sweet.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Of course, Culloden happened and that was the cause smashed forever.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Yes, it certainly was. Sadly, that was the end of Jacobite hopes.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58'Traquair also has some fragile glass which has survived from the Jacobite era.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03'Keeping their allegiance secret, the flowers on this glass
0:25:03 > 0:25:05'spell "Charles" in code,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08'beginning with a chrysanthemum for C.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12'But catching my eye is this rare Amen glass
0:25:12 > 0:25:15'which dates to the early 1700s.'
0:25:15 > 0:25:19This is a precious glass because it's been diamond engraved, hasn't it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Yes.- With this incredible script.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Literally thousands of little dents into the surface
0:25:25 > 0:25:31join up the indentations and make the script and so forth
0:25:31 > 0:25:37and what I think is extraordinary is, one bad move, one heavy hammer tap on the diamond point,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- and you'd have broken the glass. - Yes.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- But it's beautifully done, isn't it? - The verse here is, "And God bless the Prince of Wales,
0:25:45 > 0:25:49"the true-born Prince of Wales, send us by thee,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52"send him soon over and kick out Hanover
0:25:52 > 0:25:54"and then we'll recover our old liberty."
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- THEY LAUGH - Isn't that marvellous? - We're still waiting.- Yes, absolutely.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05'Now, I wonder if our teams will be left waiting for profits over at the auction.'
0:26:14 > 0:26:17How lovely is this? We've nipped across Scotland to Glasgow.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Great Western Auctions is where we're at
0:26:19 > 0:26:22with the lovely Anita Manning. Morning, Anita.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Good morning and welcome.- Thank you.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30Now, for the Reds, the Amphora vase with the old bird on the front. How do you rate that?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Well, these are very popular.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37This factory only produced wares over 30, 40 years.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42And their items were designed by students
0:26:42 > 0:26:46from the Imperial School of Ceramic Design in Austria,
0:26:46 > 0:26:50so we always have good design and it is quite popular.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- And how much?- 30 to 40.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- £40 they paid.- Well...- So that might be a bit of a struggle.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01The next item I think is absolutely fabulous, this malachite glass pot.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Yes.- That, to me, has style, there's real quality to the material,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- fantastic colour.- I think it's a lovely thing, as well.
0:27:08 > 0:27:14Designed by Heinrich Hoffmann, who was one of the master glass makers.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- How much?- £60 to £100. - OK, fine. They paid £60.- Yes.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- And their last item, a bit of bling. - Mm-hm.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Your necklace and bracelet, all in the Deco style.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Pity they're not diamonds, hey? - THEY LAUGH
0:27:27 > 0:27:34A big pity. But I think this is a wonderful piece of sparkly fun.
0:27:34 > 0:27:40Now, I'm finding that period costume jewellery is doing very well in the saleroom.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45So this might just appeal to those buyers.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- So how much, then?- 45 to 70.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50That's a bit of a come on. They paid 95.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- OK.- So they paid a good old whack for it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58It's a wee bit dear, but I wouldn't be surprised
0:27:58 > 0:28:01if it went there or even if they made a little profit.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Well, if the bracelet doesn't do so well, they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08So let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14So, Billy and Jean, you gave Nick £105 of leftover lolly. What did you spend it on, Nick?
0:28:14 > 0:28:19- There we go.- Oh.- Oh, I love it. - A nice Georgian tea caddy.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- You like that?- Oh, I do.- How much did you spend on it?- I spent £80.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- £80?- Yeah.- That's good.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30It's not in perfect condition, but it's a genuine Georgian tea caddy.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- Nice shape, bit of inlay. - How much do you think it'll make?
0:28:34 > 0:28:40Well, that's the million-dollar question. It's hard to say. They used to make a lot more than that.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44The market's not what it was, but it's a good example and it's got a fighting chance.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48After the sale of the first three items, you get your chance to have a go with it or not,
0:28:48 > 0:28:54but right now, for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Nick's box.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00- Well, this is the quintessentially standard piece of tea caddy, isn't it?- Yes.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03And probably more popular ten years ago.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07But this is quite a nice example.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- We have handles missing here, which is really a wee bit of a shame. - Oh, yes.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- So they just plugged them with a bit of timber.- Yes.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19The inside in not complete
0:29:19 > 0:29:22and they've reupholstered it
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- in this brown velvet. - THEY LAUGH
0:29:24 > 0:29:27A bit of Dralon in the roof. That's not Georgian Dralon.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- It's not.- And then we would've had three tea containers,
0:29:31 > 0:29:36silver or shagreen or something, in those at one time.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41But I do like the little bracket feet here, little Georgian item.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47Nice little brass escutcheon and this chequered banding here. So it's not bad.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- So how much?- 50 to 70.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53OK. £80 was paid by Nick Hall.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57He's got great expectations set in that box. We'll have to see what happens.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:00 > 0:30:06First of all, the dressing table jars, which I have to say I think are hideous.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10They're chipped enamel and it's only chromium-plated mounts. How do you rate them?
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- We have to be positive if we're going to sell them.- Of course.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18And I like the enamelling and I like the colour of the enamelling.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22And I think they would look rather nice on a lady's dressing table.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- So what's your estimate on the four? - 30 to 50.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28They paid £40. So that's slap-bang in the middle.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- If you do that, Anita, you've done very well for chipped examples.- Yes.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Next is the cast-iron plant stand.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Not my favourite again, I'm afraid.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43- I mean, it's black, it's slightly rusty and it's repro.- It is.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- But it is functional.- Yes.- It would look rather nice in a conservatory
0:30:47 > 0:30:52with spider plants on it or ivy or whatever.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55So it will appeal to the gardeners.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- Functional is the best that I can say for it.- Yes.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- How much, please? - 40 to 60.- OK, £40 paid.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05So they paid the right price, that's the important thing, like it or loathe it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11And lastly is this little cased set-up which is a butter dish and knife
0:31:11 > 0:31:14in its cardboard box. Any good?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Royal Crown Derby, wonderful, wonderful factory.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22This is quite a late piece, probably from the 1940s or 1950s.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Little crescent-shaped butter dish, which is quite sweet.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31But the little knife has some damage here. There's something missing
0:31:31 > 0:31:33which will affect the price of it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:39- Your estimate is £15 to £25. - Mm-hm.- They paid £15, so they paid the right price.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44Overall, depending on what happens with their plant stand, they may or may not need the bonus buy,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46but let's have a look at it anyway.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Well, girls, you spent a miserable £95.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54£205, a fortune, went to Jeremy. What did you spend it on, Jeremy?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57I'm afraid I've bought junk. Sorry about that.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Ooh!- Ahh! - Here it is! It's a Chinese junk.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Oh, that's gorgeous! - That's lovely, yeah.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07So this is a little Chinese white-metal junk
0:32:07 > 0:32:11made probably in the late 19th, early 20th century.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It's got characters on the back.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18It's got all the little features, cannon, figures, it's ready to sail away into profit.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- Oh, that's lovely. Really good. - What would you pay for that?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- 40 quid.- Oh.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28It really is junk, then. THEY LAUGH
0:32:28 > 0:32:34- 65.- That's good.- That's OK.- How much profit do you think it'll make?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37I think you could get £80 to £100 on a good day.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42- Happy, girls?- BOTH: Yes. - You don't pick now, you pick later,
0:32:42 > 0:32:47but let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jeremy's bit of junk, I mean junk.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50So, Anita, junk by name, junk by nature?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- SHE LAUGHS - Give us the lowdown.- I know.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58I mean, there is a lot of detail in this little object
0:32:58 > 0:33:04and I particularly like the little oars, the little Chinese script on the stern here.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06But I quite like the wee cannons.
0:33:06 > 0:33:13And you don't often see that sort of detail on this type of item.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19This is not the best of quality but it has a certain appeal.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- What is your estimate?- £50 to £80.
0:33:21 > 0:33:27OK, £65 was paid by Jeremy. He clearly thinks that it's going to do well,
0:33:27 > 0:33:31in the troubled waters that are ahead for his team.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34And we'll find out what happens in a minute. Thank you very much.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- So, Billy and Jean, how you feeling, kids?- Bit nervous.- Are you?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Jean, are you looking forward to this?- Very much so, yes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Is there any item, darling, that you are at all worried about?
0:33:53 > 0:33:59- Er, no, not really. - No. Well, I don't think you have got any great worries here.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02First up is the Amphora vase and here it comes.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Lot 48, ladies and gentlemen.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08It's a superb little piece of Amphora.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11It's Art Deco, it's from the 1960s,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15decorated with the image of a stork.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Can we say £80? £60?
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Start me at £20. £20 for the Amphora.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Oh, dear.- £20.
0:34:25 > 0:34:2720 bid. 25.
0:34:27 > 0:34:3130. 35. 40.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- It's creeping. It's agonising, isn't it?- With the lady at £40.
0:34:35 > 0:34:3945. Fresh bidder at 45. 50.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- £50.- Go on!
0:34:43 > 0:34:48With the lady at £50. All done at £50? £50.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Well done. That's plus 10. Nothing wrong with that.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- That's all right.- Good start. - It's great.- Now, the malachite vase.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57It's the Heinrich Hoffman Ingrid vase.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02Moulded in relief with six Bacchanalian maidens.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07And I can see a few Bacchanalian maidens on the floor here.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- We've got one here, Anita. - And there's a lady over there.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13So this is a rare little piece, ladies and gentlemen.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Start me at 50 for the malachite glass. £50.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19£30 then.
0:35:19 > 0:35:2230 bid. 40. 50. 60.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2570.
0:35:25 > 0:35:2980. 90. 100. 110.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Any advance on 110?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34All done at 110? 110.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Well done. £50 profit.- Yeah! - Nearly doubled your money.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41That's pretty good, isn't it? You must be pleased about that, Jean?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Delighted. - Delighted, yeah. Here we go.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Are there any ladies in the room
0:35:47 > 0:35:49that like diamonds?
0:35:49 > 0:35:55If you can't afford diamonds, this is the nearest you will get to it.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Look how they sparkle.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Will you start me at £50 for the necklace and bracelet set?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05£30. 30 bid.
0:36:05 > 0:36:0840. 50. 60.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10£60. 70. 80.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- £80. 90.- We're so close.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17No? With you, sir, at £90.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20All done at £90? £90.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Bad luck. £5 off. I mean, nothing really.- That's not too bad.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Gosh, she worked hard on that, didn't she?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28So that is £60 you had.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32You've just lost a fiver, so you have plus £55.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36£55 profit, which is lovely. What you going to do about this tea caddy?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- £80 paid. - You've got £55, don't forget.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Do you want to risk losing it?
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- Stick.- You'd be sad if you lost it, wouldn't you?- I know.- Yes. - We'll just stick.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50OK, you're parking your £55. Let's see what happens with the bonus buy.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55Lot 54 is this superb little Georgian tea caddy.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59I'll start the biding at £30. 40.
0:36:59 > 0:37:0350. 60. £70.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Any advance on £70?
0:37:05 > 0:37:1075, I'm out. With you, sir, at 75. All done?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- £75 is minus £5. You made exactly the right decision.- Well done.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19Anyway, you've preserved your £55 profit, which is absolutely super.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22The big thing now is, don't say a word to the Blues.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- No, definitely not. - Definitely not, OK.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42- So, Eileen and Shona, how are you girls?- We're good.- Excited.- Nervous.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Do you know how the grandmother and grandson got on?- No. No idea.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49So this is very interesting, this family show, isn't it?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52How do you predict it's all going to turn out, Eileen?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Well, no idea, but hopefully well.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Yeah? You feeling confident, Shona?
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Well, I like all my items but I don't know if they'll make a profit.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Stand by, then, cross everything. Here we go!
0:38:02 > 0:38:07This set of four very stylish Art Deco dressing jars
0:38:07 > 0:38:11and I can start the bidding at £20.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15With me at 20. 30.
0:38:15 > 0:38:1935 with me. 40.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- You've wiped your face, Shona. - Good.- 45. I'll take it in 5s.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- 45.- 45!- 50.
0:38:24 > 0:38:2755. With the lady at 55.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Any advance on 55?
0:38:30 > 0:38:33All done at 55? 55.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Well done, girls. Plus £15. That's very good, isn't it?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40And I was so rude about them, too. Anyway, there we go.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- Here comes the stand.- ..the cast iron Japanese plant stand
0:38:45 > 0:38:49with three tiers modelled as fans.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52A romantic piece, ladies and gentlemen. Very sweet piece.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Start me at £20. £20.
0:38:56 > 0:38:5920 bid. With you, madam, at 20.

0:39:04 > 0:39:0845. 50. Oh, 55, fresh bidder.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Oh, no, I've got another one. Catch you in a wee minute.
0:39:11 > 0:39:1455. 60.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- 70. 80. 90.- Look at this!
0:39:17 > 0:39:19With the lady at £90.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Any advance on £90? All done at £90?
0:39:22 > 0:39:28Plus £50 on that. I must say, cast iron is terribly romantic.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Right, now we go for the Royal Crown Derby.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35We have a little crescent-shaped butter dish and knife.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38It's in the Imari palette
0:39:38 > 0:39:41and it's in its original 1950s box
0:39:41 > 0:39:47which gives it that additional charm. Can we say £50? 50?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Start me at £20.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52£20? £10, then.
0:39:52 > 0:39:5410 bid.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02Lady at 40. Any advance on £40?
0:40:02 > 0:40:06- Doubled your money. - All done at £40? £40.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09You've made £25 on that. That is just extraordinary.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1250, 75, 85, you've made £90.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- You only spent £95 and you made £90. - THEY LAUGH
0:40:15 > 0:40:20- I told you, Tim, canny Scots. - Canny Scots. Well, I'm taking my toupee off to you.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- You're doing very nicely here. - Do you need the junk, though? No.
0:40:24 > 0:40:30- I don't think we do. I mean, it's pretty but I don't think so. - You're not going to go with it?
0:40:30 > 0:40:35- You have a magnificent £90 profit, you're not going with the bonus buy. Is that a decision made?- Yes.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38OK. Well, let's see what it makes, anyway. Here it comes.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Lot 73 is a late-19th century Chinese silver model
0:40:42 > 0:40:44of a junk in full sail.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49And it's on a carved hardwood stand. 60?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52£60? Surely. £40 then?
0:40:52 > 0:40:5640 bid. With you, sir, at 40.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Any advance on 40? 45. 50.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- 55. 60. - Look out, she's going on.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- 65.- Yes.- 65.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09With the gentleman at 65. Any advance on 65?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12All done at 65?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14It's done it. 65, it's wiped its face, no profit,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17no loss, no shame and no gain.
0:41:17 > 0:41:23- OK? So that was a wise move, wasn't it?- Yes.- Mm. - Well done, Jeremy, no shame in that.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Anyway, so overall, girls, you are £90, an unbelievable £90 up.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32Anyway, we'll park that. Don't say a word to the Reds. No point spoiling their day.
0:41:42 > 0:41:48- Well, what an exciting day we've had today. Have you been chatting, you teams?- ALL: No.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Well, it should come as no secret that both of you are into monster profit country
0:41:53 > 0:41:57as far as Bargain Hunt is concerned, anyway, which is always exciting.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01To be able to give you substantial wodges of cash gives me great pleasure.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03It's just a question of scale today.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08And the team which are marginally behind in the profit stakes
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- are the Reds.- Oh, never mind!
0:42:10 > 0:42:16I mean, it's a bad do this, isn't it? To say that you're the runners-up with £55 of profits.
0:42:16 > 0:42:22- That's what you're going to take, £55. Boy, that's very good, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27You resisted the bonus buy, which was very, very close, Nick. But nevertheless, you preserved your 55.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- Have you had a great time? - Brilliant time.- Fantastic. - Very nice to see you both.
0:42:31 > 0:42:37And congratulations, Nick. Now, the victors, who are going to go home with £90...
0:42:37 > 0:42:40£90! Look at that!
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Because you made a profit on all three items,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46which is practically unheard of on Bargain Hunt,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- you are eligible for the ancient order of the golden gavel.- Ooh!
0:42:49 > 0:42:54We've run out of golden gavels. So we now lob out these things. And not very many of them.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58So if you take that one, well done. Shona, you take that and pin it on.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- And the maestro... - Thank you.- J, there we go.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06Something you can wear down the people's high street with pride.
0:43:06 > 0:43:11- And we've had a thoroughly good day. In fact, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
