0:00:04 > 0:00:06The sun's out, the dealers are ready.
0:00:06 > 0:00:12The antiques await the Blue and Red teams. So, shall we get on with it?
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45What better way of spending an hour
0:00:45 > 0:00:49than wandering through The Royal Cornwall Showground
0:00:49 > 0:00:56here in Wadebridge, figuring out how to spend £300 on three items to take away and sell at auction?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Let's meet today's lucky contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04For the Reds we have friends, Pippa and Jane.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Someone is worried...
0:01:06 > 0:01:10I'm concerned that we're going to lose the plot here.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17And for the Blues, it's Andy and Rob, who are all at sea.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I see a bargain.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Now listen, Pippa, you're no strangers to the competitive situation, are you?- No, we're not.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31We both run Plymstock and District Equestrian Club with some friends.
0:01:31 > 0:01:37I'm the chairlady, and Jane is the secretary, and we run three horse shows a year.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Do you?- And we have quite a few horses between us as well.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So would you say that you two are incredibly horsey then?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Yes. Very.- Very much. - Oh, that's lovely.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Your horses, tell me about those. Have you got any prize winners?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Oh, I have, yes. I've got three horses and I have an ex-racehorse,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57and I'm fortunate to say that he did well when he was younger,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and I share his back with a famous bottom in the shape of AP McCoy.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Do you really?- Yes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Do you fit into the mould all right, or does he fit into your mould? How does it work out?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Maybe I might need to just budge him up a little bit.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Well, that's quite something.- Yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And what's he called? Carter.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Carter. Love it.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18That's sweet, isn't it?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Now, Jane, are you just as crazy about horses as Pippa?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Absolutely. I've got three,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and I've got two beautiful Labradors as well,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29but I'm not so keen on the riding now.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Too old. So I'm more ground control.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Oh, don't give me that, girl. - No. Too old now.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Too old, that's ridiculous.- Too old, so I'm chief poo-picker of the yard.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Are you?- Yeah. Definitely.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Oh, that sounds like the business. So who rides your horses then?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- My daughter.- Oh, does she? - Yes. I support her.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- You've become the unpaid groom. - Absolutely.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54So apart from horses and dogs, do you collect anything? Husbands or anything like that?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Still married to the same one, love him to bits - but, yes, I do,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I collect Royal Doulton ladies.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04My favourite is called Amy, which is after my daughter,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- and Moonlight Roses by Royal Albert. - Right.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12You've got business acumen, you've got a shared sporting pedigree...
0:03:12 > 0:03:14These boys are looking really scared.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Anyway, very good luck.- Thank you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Now, academics Andy and Rob, welcome.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- Are you quaking in your boots? - Absolutely.- Shivering in our boots, yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Andy, what are you studying? Anything useful for us?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I'm doing a PhD at the University of Plymouth at the moment, studying microfossils
0:03:30 > 0:03:33at the end of the cretaceous when the dinosaurs died off.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- Oh, right.- It may help you to recreate past climates and past oceans.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Not very applicable to Bargain Hunt though.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Well, I don't know, we get one or two dinosaurs on this programme.- Yeah.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We're not talking about the presenter, either(!)
0:03:46 > 0:03:49You've got a touch of wanderlust about you, yes?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Yeah, I've been to over 40 countries so far.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56My highlight in recent years was taking the train to Hong Kong on the Trans-Mongolian Express.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00That was good fun. And I'd really like to
0:04:00 > 0:04:04do up an old Land Rover and drive across North Africa. That's something I'd like to do.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- Are you going to be competitive? - Absolutely. I've got a history of being in team sports.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14I'm currently the president of the University of Plymouth Lacrosse Club, and I've always played team sports
0:04:14 > 0:04:16so I'm quite competitive and focused.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19And what are you going to bring to the partnership, Rob?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Probably a long-standing history of watching Bargain Hunt.- Oh, right.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And every antiques show under the sun on TV, really.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Unfortunately again, my PhD isn't really applicable.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33I study mountain building, in particular in the Polish Carpathian mountains.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Arcuate fold-thrust systems... - That's right, yes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- That's what you're studying at the moment.- It is indeed.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40You have an interest in old books.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45I do, yes. I've always been brought up around books, and my parents always encouraged us to read
0:04:45 > 0:04:47from a very young age, and I've got a few...
0:04:47 > 0:04:51not quite antiques, sort of 80, 90-year-old books, encyclopaedias
0:04:51 > 0:04:55and things... Yeah, I just love the smell and the feel of books,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- and I'd love to own an antique book store one day, that would be a great way to live.- Perfect.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Well, here we go then, chaps. Now we come to the money moment.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05The money moment, your £300 apiece, there you go.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10You know the rules - your experts wait, and off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Well, isn't that lovely - beauty and brains. Whatever next?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18So, let's meet our experts.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Philip Serrell will be guiding the Reds.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Henry Meadows is in charge of the Blues.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29They're on the clock. Let battle commence.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Right, girls, have you got a plan? - Oh, big plan.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Oh, Lord help us. - We're going to follow what you say.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- What are you looking for today? - Something quirky... - Anything that'll make a profit.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I can see a bargain.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Which way are we going? In that way?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- "Just like that..."- Hey, I wear the hats round here, Tommy!
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Let's go in and have a look.- Hassle, hassle...- See what we can get.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's a little snuff box.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- How much is that one? - 85. It's got a bit...
0:06:05 > 0:06:10I think that's really, really nice, but I think that damage there is just going to hold you back.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Some surfboards, Rob.- Well, there's three there, that would be perfect.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17This one's signed by Jimi Hendrix, look.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Seems the eagle-eyed Reds are in good spirits.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Take a look at what they spotted.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26What are we going to be looking for with this?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Condition of the glass.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Good girl. So what in particular?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- There's no chips, and that the stoppers...- She's on fire!
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- She is.- Smokin'!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38OK. So, why is it called a tantalus?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Because you can't get the glasses out without unlocking it.- So it...
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- It keeps the sherry... - Tantalises you.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Whatever's in there tantalises you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Did you buy her a book for Christmas?- No. I watch it a lot. - Do you?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Why is this tantalus different?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Because it's only two, and there should be three.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I think I'm going to pack up and go home early. You're on your own, I'm off!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I just make up the duo.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I told you, you're my favourite expert.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I feel totally superfluous to this.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I've no point, there's no point in me being here.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I've driven miles to come to this and this is how I get treated.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Philip, shall we just go for a coffee?- Yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Leave her to it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:24Don't get on your high horse, Philip, just because Pippa knows her stuff. I'm impressed.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- What's that? - It's an old blowtorch, isn't it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Made in Sweden.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33They are the absolute kiss of death to try and sell.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36So you are kissing that goodbye, then.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- See anything, Rob? - Not yet, mate.- Not yet.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46Keep looking, Blues. Meanwhile, the Reds are getting tantalisingly tempted by the glassware.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49This is 1900, 1910-ish.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Whether these are the original decanters, there is one bit of a clue, actually. Come on.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Tell us.- That they fit inside.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Yes. But another reason? - The pattern on the bottom.- Yes.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- I- really like this. - I do as well.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You just be quiet for a minute if that's all right!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Yes. You won't shut her up. - Really?- No.- All the time?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Honestly.- A little rattle, rattle. - That's why I'm the quiet one.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Yeah. What I like about it as well, look, is that that just nicely slides forward
0:08:14 > 0:08:19and there's a locking device in there and then that's what stops you getting it out.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21What do you think it will make at auction?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26I would have said 120, but I don't know if that's too much.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I think you're spot-on with your value.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32If that came into my sale room, I'd estimate it at one to 150, but I do think it's a nice thing.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- I like that. - And it's sherry and...- Whisky.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Whisky.- Whisky, which is two drinks that a husband and wife might drink.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Does she make this up? She's off again, isn't she?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Where does all this come from?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Really?- I don't know.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- What do you reckon, girls? - Let's see how much it is.- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- 140.- 140.- 136?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Why not 135?- I like 136 better.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59No, no, no, because I can't be doing with coinage. I cannot do coinage.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01All right. 135. Go on. Go on.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Go on. Go on. - Please.- Go on, then.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07We're going to sell a tantalus and whoever buys it has got
0:09:07 > 0:09:10the bonus buy, two silver spirit labels,
0:09:10 > 0:09:15and they've got to be worth 35 quid which puts this in at £100. So...
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Bargain.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Yeah. Oh, I hate you.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20That's what it's called. Bargain Hunt.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- We're good at this.- Don't count your chickens just yet, Jane,
0:09:24 > 0:09:30it looks like the Blues also feel there may be richer pickings inside.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's too expensive, it's £240.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37OK. It's £240, we'll put that back.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39That was gopping. Sorry.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- But it's children's ware. - Gopping. I like that.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Do you like that? - For those who aren't familiar with
0:09:44 > 0:09:48the word gopping, apparently it means nasty or horrible.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52This is First World War period.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56It's what's known as a 1914-15 star.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- OK.- It would have been issued for soldiers serving during the outbreak of the First World War
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and would come with a British war and a victory medal.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Now, on the reverse, what's nice about these is from a researcher's point of view
0:10:08 > 0:10:11you can always see who the recipient is.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13For example, this one
0:10:13 > 0:10:15we've got FARCPL.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I'm fairly sure that's a farrier corporal. So that's quite nice.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- The only thing that's not nice about it...- Price.- It's £80.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- And it's a broken one.- Yeah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27So good history lesson, but...
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Not for us.- Yeah.- Thank you.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- I like that little matchbox. - That's sweet, isn't it?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- That's nice. I like that.- Yeah. Is it the original matchbox that's inside?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's hallmarked in Chester.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Yes, it is. - I think that's quite sweet.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I like that.- It is sweet.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- If you look at this, the lion passant is a lion looking sideways.- Right.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- That's called a lion passant.- Right.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- That's the mark for silver.- Right.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56That letter at the end, which is an A,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00or I think it's an A, in a shield... So it's a letter of the alphabet
0:11:00 > 0:11:02in a different shield, that gives us the year.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Yeah.- In this case, it's 1901.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And in the middle, you've got three wheat sheaves.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- That's the assay office.- Right. - Which is Chester.- Yeah.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15OK. So this is English silver, assayed in Chester in 1901 and there's the maker's mark there.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Now...
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- I like that.- Well, you'd better find out what you can do.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22This time, let's keep her out of it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- She won't keep quiet. - No, she will.- You do it. You do it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27All right. Go.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29What would your best price be on that one?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I can do 30.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Would you do 28?- OK.- Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:3628.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Super deluxe. I love it. - Thank you very, very much.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- Thank you.- So that's two items down, Reds. Well done.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Any makers' marks on it or anything like that?- No.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Not that I can see. £60 as well.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Whilst rejecting a compass,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56the Blues can now redirect their interest
0:11:56 > 0:11:58towards a rather resplendent officer's hat.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- It's what they call a bicorn hat because of the shape of it.- Sure.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05And it's made by GJ Chapman.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- Of Plymouth.- Yes. But what's nice about this one from a researcher's point of view
0:12:10 > 0:12:12is we've got a name on here.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Looks like CH Down, Royal Navy.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18What sort of age do you think that would be?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Most probably going to be late Victorian, Edwardian.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Depends on the price, though. - How much for the hat?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's £145.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28£145.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30OK. What would be your...?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Yes, it's nice it's got its tin.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34The maximum? The most you'll go?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35We're looking to make a profit.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Of course you are. 130 would be...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Your best offer. - I can't do it for any less.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- It would need to come down more though, really.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- But it's nice to have its tin. - Would 120 buy it?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47120 and a smile.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Oh, that makes all the difference.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- Yes, you can have it for 120. - 120? I like that. I really like that.
0:12:53 > 0:12:59- Just before we say yes, my estimate would be around £100 to £150.- OK.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01A cheeky ten pounds here or there.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04We've got one under our belt and we're running out of time here.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Yes. OK.- Yes. - We'll take £120, please.- OK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11So the Blues finally have an item in the bag.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Talking of which,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16what do you think about this?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Do you like it?
0:13:18 > 0:13:23It's apparently made of hornback alligator skin
0:13:23 > 0:13:29and if you give it a tap like that, absolutely rock hard.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33If you peel back this flap, it actually protects the entrance
0:13:33 > 0:13:40to the handbag bit itself which is quite nice, and the handbag itself is lined with smooth leather inside.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45But on the outside, running all the way down the spine, effectively,
0:13:45 > 0:13:50of this alligator, is this bullet-hard series of scales.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56It gets a little bit softer towards the outer edges but actually, it's like armour plating.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Now I have to say, it's looking at its worst today
0:14:01 > 0:14:07because it's dusty and dirty. But I promise you, with a bit of TLC,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10this thing will look absolutely splendid.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16What's it worth? Well, the stall holder is after £60.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22What might you get in a smart online retail store?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Well, look it up on the internet.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29You'll find that the price range is around 2,000 to 3,000. Gosh.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35So there's money to be made out of these leather goods.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39The only thing to note is that this actually isn't alligator at all.
0:14:39 > 0:14:46The mis-identification of alligator and crocodile skins happens all the time,
0:14:46 > 0:14:51but crocodile skin always has a confirmation of four leading into two,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53which is exactly what we have here.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56One, two, three, four blobs, plus two.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Got it? Got it.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Rargh!
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Thinking of sending a postcard home, girls?
0:15:05 > 0:15:11Things with streets and stuff are interesting because people can look and say, that was my house.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Yeah. We should have a look round.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- And then come back.- And if we don't see anything else,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19then I think we can come back here and buy 30, 40 quid's worth of cards.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Yeah.- Definitely.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27As ever, time is marching on.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31But what's this? Are our blue boys going to the ball?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- What do you think of this? Do you like that? - I quite like this, actually.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- It's a bit feminine for you, Andy. - Not for me. Not for me.- Fair enough.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- But it's just a bit... - Is it silver, is it?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Yes. They said they'd do it for 100. - Can you do 90 on it?- I can do 95.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45That's the absolute best I can do.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- It's a meltdown piece, really. - Yeah. OK.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51What about this?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- You wanted quirky.- Yeah.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55You're a golfer as well, aren't you?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57So I mean, it's got the novelty charm about it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- You've got two markets, silver market and golfing interest.- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I think that's quite nice, actually.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06It's got hallmarks there.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12Yes. Sheffield hallmark. This date letter here is O and I believe that's from 1942.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- So it's middle of the war.- Exactly.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Yes.- It's interesting that they are still making silver pieces in the middle of the war.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20That's what I was thinking. You know, middle of the war...
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Rations and things and they're still making silver.- Fascinating. - Silver spoons.- £20.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Room for manoeuvre if we can get it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Ten pounds, do you think?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Well, you'll have to speak to the chap nicely, won't you?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Ten pounds?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I can't do ten on it, I can go to 15.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Meet you in the middle with 12? - 12 and a half.- 12 and a half.
0:16:38 > 0:16:4112.50. OK. That's a deal.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44So now it's neck and neck.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Both teams have two items.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- How much is that?- 95.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54When I started in this business, warming pans were £110 and copper kettles were 95 quid,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- and copper kettles are now a fiver and warming pans are eight quid.- Yeah.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- And people don't want to polish things like that.- No.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- What about Charlie Chaplin? - It's horrible.- OK. Fair enough.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Oh, my God, a truncheon.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14My dad had a truncheon.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- He was a prison officer at Wormwood Scrubs.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- He locked the Krays away. - Really?- Yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Rog and Ren? No... Rog and Ren?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Reg and Ronnie.- Reg and Ronnie!
0:17:25 > 0:17:28In fact, if I ask my mum, she's probably still got it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30So, can we sell his instead of buying that one?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Come on, girls, this is time, time, time.- Yes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35That's right, Phil - you keep them on their toes.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38You have 15 minutes left.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40This bowl, I think, is beautiful.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Really beautiful.- Excuse me, how much is the Kosta bowl?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Well, there's 75 on it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- OK.- I'd take 50.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51OK. There's no age, but I do really like it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55That's the thing, I think, when you're looking at glassware
0:17:55 > 0:17:56like this, you know,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- it's got to appeal to, I think, a private buyer.- Sure.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01At £50, I'm not sure if you'll make a profit,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03but it's got a nice look to it,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- and we need a couple of people like you in the saleroom.- Absolutely.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And we're going to make...
0:18:09 > 0:18:15I've got my item with the admiral's hat. It's your item.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18How much would you estimate it at?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Personally, I would put 30 to 50, 40 to 60 on it.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- OK.- So we're not a million miles out, really.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Would you take 40 for it?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27- Yes. OK.- OK.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33I think at £40 it's a fair deal for the stall holder and for us as well.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34That's a good discount!
0:18:34 > 0:18:40Well done, Blues, that's all three items purchased.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Now then, Reds, you two need to get your skates on.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- What do you think?- Gopping.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I'm concerned that we're going to lose the plot here.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Oh, stop moaning, Phil!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Where have they gone now?
0:19:01 > 0:19:02I'm having a panic.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- What is it?- No.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Gopping.- That's the word of the day!
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- What's that?- Is that a whisky...?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Yeah. This is a model of a curling stone.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23All curling stones were made from granite that comes off Ailsa Craig,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25which is just off Turnberry Golf Course.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It's that rock mountain thing.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Right.- People do collect this stuff.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Peter Thomson (Perth).
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Gleneagles Scotch Whisky. So it's a little tot of whisky.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39There would have been whisky in it?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Yeah. And it's not hugely valuable, to say the least,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44but, you know, we've got two minutes left...
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Yeah.- ..it's six quid, if you can get that for two or £3,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50if they give it away, you've only lost three quid,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53which in Bargain Hunt terms is something of a result, isn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Yeah.- Gopping? I think it's gopping, you think it's gopping.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57I think it's gopping.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You think it's gopping. But it's two quid's worth of gopping.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02A man could go out on the moors with that in his pocket
0:20:02 > 0:20:03and it would keep him warm.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06She has a ferocious imagination, hasn't she?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08For £3. Right, let's go and get it sorted.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Go, girl! Talk them down!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's bargains we want on this show.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Is she always like this? - Like a terrier.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- I've managed to get it for £4. - You bought it?- Yes.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I think that's a bit of a result, really, isn't it?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Yes.- It's definitely not deluxe, and it's gopping.- But it's got a purpose.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I'm going to go and lie down in a sheltered, darkened place somewhere!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- We're done.- I'm done!
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Oh, poor Phil. He just can't take the pressure.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Time's up.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Our teams' time is spent,
0:20:38 > 0:20:44and so is their cash, so let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:20:44 > 0:20:51The girls paid £135 for this Edwardian twin decanter tantalus.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55They forked out £28 for a silver matchbox holder.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And finally, the princely sum of £4 was paid
0:21:00 > 0:21:03for this miniature whisky decanter.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06So, are you pleased with what you've done?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Oh, it's fantastic.- That thing at the end was a rush!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Yes, but somebody might buy it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14So, what is this, then, excuse me?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Some kind of mutual admiration society here?- Yes.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Yes.- This one is like a walking antique encyclopaedia.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22That's lovely, isn't it? And she knows about horses.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And they are both interested as well, and that's fantastic.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Well, there you go.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Now, you're not feeling left out here, Janie, are you?- Not at all.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Not at all.- You're obviously getting on otherwise perfectly well.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Beautifully, you've bonded!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- How much did you spend all round?- £167.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43167. 167. So can I have 133, then?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Please, from someone? - That was my job for the day.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- You're the bag carrier, really, aren't you?- Yes.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50You had to follow two steps behind her royal highness!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I had to have a job, because I didn't do much else.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- I looked after the money. - And were very decorative.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Now, boy, there you go, look. - Thank you.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- That's quite a lot, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03And I've learned a new word today,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04which is "gopping",
0:22:04 > 0:22:08and I'm going to go and try to buy something that isn't gopping.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Is he with it or is he not with it?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- He's with it.- I've been worried about him for some time, actually.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Anyway, you look after yourselves, girls.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Good luck, Phil, with your bargain buy.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Meanwhile, why don't we
0:22:20 > 0:22:23remind ourselves what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:22:23 > 0:22:30A naval officer's bicorn hat was snapped up for 120.
0:22:30 > 0:22:36£12.50 was spent on a hallmark silver golfing spoon.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42And, they bought a Swedish iridescent bowl for £40.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Three really different items, though...
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- This looks like a crowd of wide boys to me!- Yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Very pleased with yourselves!- Yeah, we did well. We got some good buys.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55We shall find out how good your buys are later at the auction, I fancy.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- And how much did you spend overall?- £172.50.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- So who's got all this leftover lolly, then?- I have.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Have you? About your person.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Thank you very much, Andrew. - This is for you.- Very good.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06- And some coins.- And some cash.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Pretty oddball number, but fair enough, I'll believe you!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Here we go, Henry.- Thanks very much.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13What are you going to spend that on?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Not too sure at the moment,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19but hopefully something quirky, as we were discussing earlier.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Very good luck with all of that, boys.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23We're heading off somewhere splendiferous.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's Cornish, it's right down the sharp end,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29and it's called St Michael's Mount. Ooh-arr!
0:23:34 > 0:23:39St Michael's Mount, off the south Cornish coast at Marazion,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42has been in the hands of the St Aubyn family since 1647,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45when Colonel St Aubyn became Captain of the Mount.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Successive generations, all called Sir John, left their mark here.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52The third Sir John was responsible in the 1720s
0:23:52 > 0:23:56for repairing the harbour and revitalising the island.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58During the following century,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00the population swelled to 300,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04thanks to his investment in the place.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11But it's the fourth Sir John that I'm interested in today.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14If you look at this elevation of the building,
0:24:14 > 0:24:19does it not say to you bleak, medieval, former abbey?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Nothing very comfortable about this.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26But in 1762, our fourth baronet, Sir John,
0:24:26 > 0:24:30went in for something completely different.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Wow. Look at this.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Clearly, our Sir John was a bit of a trendsetter,
0:24:44 > 0:24:51because in 1762 he imported into the wastelands of west Cornwall
0:24:51 > 0:24:57the very latest, cutting-edge, Gothic Strawberry Hill style
0:24:57 > 0:25:00into this, his delicious blue drawing room.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Where does the term Strawberry Hill come from?
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Well, Horace Walpole, who was Sir Robert Walpole's youngest son,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15built a house, Strawberry Hill, in Twickenham, Middlesex.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18He built that house around 1758,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22and the style that he employed was Gothic.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28Not a muscular, churchy or medieval fortified Gothic,
0:25:28 > 0:25:33but a comfortable, mid-18th century interpretation of the Gothic,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35which is exemplified in this room.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Up above the fireplace,
0:25:37 > 0:25:42you've got a sort of pagoda roof, which is typical.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45And the supports that flank the fireplace
0:25:45 > 0:25:50and support the mantel shelf are Gothic cluster triple columns,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52interposed by a frieze
0:25:52 > 0:25:57with these lovely quatrefoil with a flower head in the middle.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Then, either side of the fireplace, we've got two recesses,
0:26:00 > 0:26:08capped by the quintessentially, typical Gothic cusped arch.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12This one is fun, though, because it contains a secret door...
0:26:14 > 0:26:19..which leads us into the blue drawing room anteroom,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23all part of the same decorated series of rooms, though,
0:26:23 > 0:26:29with, in my view, an even more Gothic-looking fireplace.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33All this trouble creating and sustaining
0:26:33 > 0:26:38the Gothic decorative effect is reflected also in the furniture.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41A whole suite of furniture, to be precise.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Made by Thomas Chippendale
0:26:44 > 0:26:47specifically for this Gothic suite of rooms.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Look at this splat back.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53All these cusped, pierced sections are typical.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56You've then got a pierced section that looks a bit like
0:26:56 > 0:26:59a lancet window, and if I turn up
0:26:59 > 0:27:04the front supports, here we've got a blind fret carving
0:27:04 > 0:27:07that mirrors the lobed pierced back,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09and also at the bottom of the leg
0:27:09 > 0:27:13we've got these very curious carvings
0:27:13 > 0:27:18that look a bit like rocket burners, that go to make up the block feet.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25My all-time favourite spot, though, is this,
0:27:25 > 0:27:30the most charming little Gothic bay window.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Just look at the way they've cut that plaster
0:27:34 > 0:27:36in a frivolous Rococo way,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40and applied it on the Gothic shape of that cusp.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44And underneath, you've got these oak glazing bars.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49Astragal bars, but in these delightful shapes.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52In short, it's just perfect.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54The big question today is, of course,
0:27:54 > 0:27:59how PANE-ful is it going to be for our teams over at the auction?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Well, we've popped to Jefferys Auctions in Lostwithiel
0:28:13 > 0:28:15to be with Ian Morris. Good morning, Ian.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Morning.- Lovely to be here.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The first item is this tantalus.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Two-bottle tantalus, and it's in brilliant condition, for a change.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It's a good piece. I like tantalus, myself.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30People recently seem to have gone off decanters generally,
0:28:30 > 0:28:34but I just think it's a lovely object to look at and handle.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Yes. What's your estimate?
0:28:36 > 0:28:37I've been conservative on this lot.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39I've put an estimate of 70 to £100.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I think that's just a nice piece for the money.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Well, they paid 135.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47They'll be disappointed if they don't turn a small profit on it.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50I'm not sure they'll turn a small profit on it, but...
0:28:50 > 0:28:52No pressure here(!)
0:28:52 > 0:28:56I think, yes, they'll not lose too much money, either, on it,
0:28:56 > 0:28:58so I think it's a reasonable buy.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Second item, this tiny, terribly plain and ordinary
0:29:02 > 0:29:03little vesta cover.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06It is very plain. If it wasn't for the metal price
0:29:06 > 0:29:07being so high at the moment,
0:29:07 > 0:29:11it would be...not a non-starter, but it wouldn't...
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- Be a pound or two.- It wouldn't create much interest.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I've estimated it at 10 to £20.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I suspect on the day it will do that,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20maybe top end, maybe a little bit more,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- so I think it could still get away. - Well, £28 is what they paid.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25What about the whisky bottle novelty
0:29:25 > 0:29:27in the form of a curling stone? Like that?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29The curling stone is an unusual item,
0:29:29 > 0:29:32in the fact that we normally have a lot of these little decanters,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35usually in the form of eagles or little small animals.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Unfortunately, most of them are always empty!
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Bit of a drawback!
0:29:40 > 0:29:44But this one is of a curling stone, which is a little bit different.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45Not normally an individual lot.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- Because it's too low a value, is it?- Too low a value.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51We would group it with other like-minded items.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54But in this particular case, five to £8.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56£4, they paid. So that's not too bad.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58The big problem is going to be the tantalus.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01If you are right and you get under £100,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03they are going to be crucified,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05and they are going to need their bonus buy,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Now, Pippa and Jane, the bonus-buy moment.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14You gave Philip Serrell £133. Phil, what did you spend it on, please?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Well, I spent it on that.- Oh!
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Is that to keep us in line?!
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Gives you a dap!
0:30:23 > 0:30:27It's a Victorian truncheon.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30And it was £35. I think that's really quite cheap for that.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Oh, that's good.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I mean, the painted ones can make well over £100,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36well into three figures,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39and it's sort of quite simplistic, but I think
0:30:39 > 0:30:43at auction... Oh, here we go, neck on the block.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47I think that could make between 40 and £60.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52No, I'll rephrase that - I hope that could make 40 to £60!
0:30:52 > 0:30:57I'll rephrase it for you - "I pray that it will make 40 to £60!"
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Is that the man's name on there?
0:30:58 > 0:31:02I would think it stands every chance of belonging to Sydney Deacon,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- or whoever it was.- Well, if not, we could hit you with it!
0:31:05 > 0:31:07By which time it'll be too late -
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- it will be sold to somebody else.- Aw!
0:31:09 > 0:31:12You've got three jolly good items.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15You are going to sell those and make massive profits.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- We hope.- Your decision as to whether you risk
0:31:18 > 0:31:20some of those massive profits
0:31:20 > 0:31:22on this £35 truncheon will happen
0:31:22 > 0:31:25after the sale of the first three items,
0:31:25 > 0:31:30but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:31:30 > 0:31:33about Phil's truncheon. One truncheon.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36It's always nice to handle something like this, you know,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39that has been worked well, it's lovely and smooth.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42You've got the Victorian cipher on the top.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45It's just a lovely, lovely piece of equipment there,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47and it's just got such a nice feel to it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It's a typical Serrell purchase.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52He likes anything made of wood,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54and it is a nice piece of turned elm, isn't it?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Yes. Mind you, it's still hard enough.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58I wouldn't like to get hit by one.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01No. Quite right too! How much is it worth, do you think?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I'd put an estimate of 30 to £50 on it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Brilliant. Brilliant. £35, Phil paid, so he's paid the right money for it,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11and with any luck, if the team go with it, it'll turn a profit.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Well, that's it for the Reds, and now for the Blues.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17First up for them is the naval officer's hat,
0:32:17 > 0:32:21and its Japan tin box. That's splendid, isn't it?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I like it, and the condition of the hat is very, very good for the age.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25It's been kept in that box,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28and it has certainly been well looked after.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30I feel a bit of HMS Pinafore coming on.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Yes, so long as it doesn't turn into a song, I suppose!
0:32:33 > 0:32:35No need to worry about that on this programme!
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Anyway, how do you rate that, then, money-wise?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Money-wise, I put a guide of 80 to £120,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43and I think that's a fairly safe bet.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47£120, they paid. Good, traditional piece of naval costume. Brilliant.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Next item is the golfing spoon.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Again, you've got a crossover here
0:32:53 > 0:32:56between the person who likes to collect silver
0:32:56 > 0:32:59and the person who likes to collect the golfing memorabilia.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01So I'm hopeful there
0:33:01 > 0:33:04that either one or two styles of collectors would be
0:33:04 > 0:33:06interested in this lot.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07How much?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Put 20 to £40 on it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Very good. £12.50 paid. Now, what about this modern glass bowl?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- Do you rate that? - Not really my cup of tea,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18but it's big and heavy, it's got nice colour through it,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20and I put a guide of 40 to £60,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24and I think, yeah, that's the kind of run of it.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27And Kosta Boda is one of those factories, isn't it?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- It's still going today.- Yes.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32You can buy Kosta Boda glass today, but it does go back to the '20s.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Yes.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Anyway, they paid £40,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38you are estimating 40 to £60, so that's not too bad.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42I suspect it will depend on what happens with the naval officer's hat
0:33:42 > 0:33:44as to whether they need the bonus buy or not,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Now, Andy and Rob, you've spent £172.50,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53you gave Henry £127.50.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Henry, what did you spend it on?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58What do you think to this? Different, isn't it?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- It's a bit of cow horn, is it? - I'd say so, yes.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Late 19th century.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06What's nice about it is it's got white metal on there,
0:34:06 > 0:34:07it's Scottish, probably.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- OK.- And I think it's a nice thing. - You think it's silver or plated?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I think it's silver. It's not hallmarked,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14so we can't call it silver,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16but I think it's got a nice look about it.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19More important question - how much did you pay for it?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21I paid the princely sum of £20.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24£20. OK. And how much do you think it's going to make?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26We're not going to be able to retire on this,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29but I think we could possibly double our money.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- Doubling would be good. - Would be all right.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- Make up for the losses elsewhere! - Hopefully not!- Think positively!
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Well, that's optimistic, Rob, isn't it, eh(?)
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Well, you've got to be realistic these days.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I think the trouble with you intelligent people is that
0:34:42 > 0:34:44you spend too much time thinking about stuff!
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Possibly!- You ordinary mortals don't
0:34:46 > 0:34:48worry about that! Do we, Henry?!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50No, definitely not!
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Think about that.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Your chance to pick comes after the sale of your first three items.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57But first of all, for the viewers at home,
0:34:57 > 0:35:01let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Henry's mug.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04So, one horn beaker. That's rather fun, isn't it? Very plain.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Yes. That's maybe the only drawback with this.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Horn beakers used to sell, and sell very well.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15The plaque is silver, but it is, as you say, very plain.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17That might just deter buyers
0:35:17 > 0:35:20from being interested in bidding for this lot.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22I'd like to see a hallmark on the plaque,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25because that does at least then date the whole beaker.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28It would, and with a good mark as well,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- that certainly would have wider appeal.- Anyway, it's not marked,
0:35:31 > 0:35:35it's incredibly plain - what do you think it would bring?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37I've said 20 to £30.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Fine. Magic.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40I mean, Henry paid £20 for it.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42It's his bonus buy.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46If the team decide to go with it, everybody will be happy.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48And you only want to make everybody happy!
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Yes. If I can make everybody happy, that would be great!
0:36:01 > 0:36:02So, how are you feeling, girls?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Excited.- Excited. And nervous.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- How excited, on the excitability scale?- Ten!
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- 11.- 12!
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- He can count! - You're right up there, aren't you?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Listen, all the money is on the tantalus.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19It's the first lot of your trio, and here it comes.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Lot 250 there, Edwardian oak and silver-plated
0:36:21 > 0:36:24twin decanter tantalus there. What say, £80 away?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26£50 away? £30 I'm bid.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30At £30. 35, £40, 45, £50, 55.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33At £55 I'm bid, I'll take 60 now. £60. At £60, I'll take five now.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- 65, £70? £70. 75?- Come on.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41At £70 I'm bid. Five not. At £70, I'm going to the back, it's £70.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43That's giving it away.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- £70.- The two silver labels are worth that much.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- I know.- How rude.- Very, very quick.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49Now, here comes the match case.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Lot 251 there, a hallmarked silver plain matchbox holder.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Chester 1901. £20 away? £20 I've got.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00At £20, 22, 25, 28, £30. 32?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04At £30 I'm bid. At £30, I'm selling at £30.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Plus £2. That's very good.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Now, the whisky decanter.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12252 there. Miniature curling stone, whisky decanter.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14It's empty, unfortunately. £10 away.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16£5? Five I'm bid.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19At five, at six, at seven? At seven, at eight, at nine?
0:37:19 > 0:37:23At nine, at ten, at 12? £10, the bid's on the books.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25At £10, 11, 12? At £12, still with me.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28At £12, you're done. At £12.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30£12 is plus eight.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Which means you are minus £55. Minus £55.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36What are you going to do about the truncheon, kids?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37We're going to go for it.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39You're going to go for it.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I don't blame you going for it. That's very sound.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I can tell you that his estimate now is 30 to £50.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Philip paid £35, so you are almost dead cert,
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- according to his estimate, to make a profit.- Good.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53So let's all cross our legs and look at the truncheon.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54Now, lot 258 there.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57It's a 19th-century elm truncheon decorated with the VR motif.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00£30 away? £20 away? £20 I'm bid.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02At £20, the truncheon. I'll take two to go on.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- 22. 25, 28, 28, £30.- Come on!
0:38:05 > 0:38:0632? 32, 35?
0:38:06 > 0:38:0932, the bid's in the middle. At £32 I'm bid, five and up.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- At £32...- One more!
0:38:12 > 0:38:15At £32, the bid is up front. At £32.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16£32 is minus £3.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Damn! People with the shout! I hate it when people shout!
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Me too. But you did it anyway. And I did it too.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Minus 58. Minus 58 smackers. That's where we are.- Oh, wow.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29That's extremely disappointing, but the way things are going today,
0:38:29 > 0:38:32that could be a winning score, so don't say a thing to the Blues,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- all right?- We won't.- We won't.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Now, Andy and Rob, feeling OK?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Yeah.- Confident, yeah. - You've been quietly confident.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Well, you can't be bragging about this game, can you,
0:38:55 > 0:38:58because nobody knows what is going to happen in the auction.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- Have the Reds told you how they got on?- Not at all.- No.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Well, you don't want to know about that, I tell you! OK, fine.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06First lot up is the naval officer's hat, and here it is.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Lot 274 there. Late Victorian naval officer's bicorn hat there.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11In the original carry case.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Five bids on this, I'm going to start at £100.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15At £100, the bid is with me.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19I have £100 is the bid, 110 to get on. I have 110, 120, 130...
0:39:19 > 0:39:22I have 130. All my bids are out. It's still at the back at 130.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24140? No? Are we all done?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Selling at £130.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32- £130. He's plus £10.- Yes.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Now, golfing spoon.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Are we going to get a profit on each lot?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Lot 275 there. The hallmarked silver golf spoon,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40designed with the long handle.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Sheffield hallmark, 1931.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46£20 away, can I say? £10 for the silver spoon? Ten I'm bid, at ten.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48At £10, the silver spoon, lot 275.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50At 12, at 14, at 16, at 18.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- At 18, at 20, at 20, 22, 22, 24, 26?- It's going to be a hole in one!
0:39:54 > 0:39:58£24 beside me. At £24, this lot, £24.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Good result.- £24.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02That is nearly double your money.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Look out, here comes the iridescent bowl.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Lot 276 there.
