0:00:04 > 0:00:06Hello, hello.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09It's that time of day again.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Another round of buying and selling.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17But will today's teams be loss-makers or good bargain hunters?
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Welcome to Shrewsbury,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51birth place of Charles Darwin,
0:00:51 > 0:00:55the father of the theory of evolution.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Clever chap, he was. We've got some clever sorts on the programme, too.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01They're going to be given £300 apiece to find three items
0:01:01 > 0:01:05to sell off at auction. The big question today is, though,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08is it going to be the survival of the fittest?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And what a show we have for you today, bargain hunters!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Watch as the Reds get picky...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20No, you don't want to go for that? No. OK.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I think that is too much money. No, actually, I don't like it that much.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Right. Now that it is close up, no.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28That's not doing it for me. Not doing it for you? No. OK.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Well, we do try.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32..and the Blues are faced with a hard sell.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35You're onto a winner with that. There's a good profit in that.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I can see that doing in the saleroom £200.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40That's a winner. That is going to do well at auction.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41That's very confident.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45But how will our teams fare at auction?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48200. Yes, Colin. 50. Yeah! Five.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yes!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Let's meet the contestants.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Well, look at this. How lovely. Two sets of friends. Welcome.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Hello. Very nice to see you.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Now, Sally and Madeleine, I'm told you met at a bookshop, right?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06That is right, yes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09It sold other things. It was Madeleine's dad's shop.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10And we've been firm friends ever since.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12And have you always done that line up of work?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15No, I used to be a social worker but after nine years
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I had burn-out, so I put on a backpack
0:02:17 > 0:02:19and went round Europe with a good friend.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22You never did! I did. Did you have any adventures?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Lots of adventures.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27But books still form a big part of your life. Oh, yeah, huge.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31I sell them, so... Yes. So, Maddie, are you as creative as Sally?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Yes.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38I've made cards in the past, but now me and my husband make cakes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42This is the moment for me to ask our cake monitor to come in.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Come on, Rache, come in and show us some of Maddie's cakes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, you have made us these special cupcakes
0:02:49 > 0:02:52with our Bargain Hunt logo on the top.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53They look absolutely delicious.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I'm going to have to resist tucking in right now.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00What are your tactics going to be today? We are looking for bargains.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03It's all price point as far as you are concerned? Yes.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You are going to follow your advice from the expert?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Absolutely. That could be your first big mistake.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Anyway, very good luck, girls, and I just love the look of the cupcakes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Thank you, darling. Now, Tim and Simon. You are both obsessed with radio, is that right?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Yeah, we study radio production at Glyndwr University
0:03:20 > 0:03:21in Wrexham.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25As part of that, we do a weekly live radio show
0:03:25 > 0:03:28on the community radio station in Wrexham.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30As well as that, we host our own podcast, which we do weekly.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Gosh, you are busy, aren't you? Busy boys.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36What got you into that, Tim? Great name, by the way.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I used to work in customer service
0:03:38 > 0:03:40and the hard-of-hearing customers would come to me.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Beg your pardon?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Hey! The hard-of-hearing customers would come to me
0:03:45 > 0:03:48because I could speak clearly and said, "You should work in radio."
0:03:48 > 0:03:49And I said, "All right, I will."
0:03:49 > 0:03:52What about you, Simon? Are you going to do well?
0:03:52 > 0:03:53I think we're going to win.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Simon, you are a collector, though, aren't you? Yes.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I'm collecting records, vinyl records.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01What is it about vinyl for you then?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05You just get more quality per square inch,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08more music per square inch than with MP3s.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Yes. And there is something authentic about that sound, isn't there?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Yeah. You got a warm, low end. I beg your pardon!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18We've only just met.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20You're going to do very well.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22This is going to be pretty zany, I can tell you.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Anyway, here is your money moment. £300 apiece.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28You know the rules. Your experts away. You be careful,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Madeleine, I don't want you dropping the cakes. Off you go!
0:04:30 > 0:04:34And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37You see, today it is going to be wild!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So, who would you put your money on?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Ex-auctioneer Colin Young leading two very talented ladies
0:04:46 > 0:04:48or a couple of radioheads in the company
0:04:48 > 0:04:51of crazy David Harper? Hard to see
0:04:51 > 0:04:52which way it is going to go.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Raring to go. Raring to go, yeah.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Marvellous, I love raring to go.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01We're going to equality auction,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03so we are just going to buy quality items.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Who needs a plan? Who needs an expert?
0:05:10 > 0:05:15One complication here - the Red Team aren't sold on the colour red.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I have a thing about orange.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I love orange clothes, orange things in my house.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24My whole house is a sea of orange. That's great news, isn't it?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26And mine is green. Is it? Right.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Well, for you, the future is bright. Let's get shopping. Yes, absolutely.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Oh, the Michelin Man. These things are very collectible.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Anything to do with motoring, motorbi...motorbilia?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47That works for me. I think we'll use that word, motorbilia.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50The ideal car mascot would be a Lalique fish.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Now, if you can find me a Lalique fish, I'm on for that.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Find you a fish? That might work.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00There's one. I can see that on my car bonnet.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03But you wouldn't be able to see the road.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Rely on his vision, he's got big eyes. Very good point.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Elsewhere in the fair,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16three sensible people assess army optics.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Good pair of military binoculars.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Worn, as you would expect. World War II-issue.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23The price on those, £30.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Something maybe to consider. Is that something you would go for?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It's not doing it for me. Not doing it for you? No. OK, well, we do try.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30OK, that's cool.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Colin may have to work hard here.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46It looks like it is jade, but it isn't. It is some kind of... Glass?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48It's almost glass, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, it's a copy.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53It's a reproduction of a Chinese Buddhistic lion dog. Yeah.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57There are a few names for these things. Shishi dog. Lion dog.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Or Dog of Fo. OK. And they always come in pairs.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03They're a lion protector dogs, so they are looking after you.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06So if you own them, it is a marvellous thing.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09But woe betide anybody who crosses a lion dog.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14And if that was the Ming dynasty lion dog made out of jade,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17that thing could be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21As it is though? As it is, it's worth 20 quid.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26For the pair. Do they still protect you as copies? Of course they do.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31You have one shishi and you have one shishi. Thank you. Thanks, shishi.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Are you going to protect us and make us win Bargain Hunt today?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Be nice to them, boys.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'm not going to be nice. I don't want to buy them.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Really? No. I agree.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I do apologise for the behaviour, they don't mean it really.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44You know, cover your backs, boys.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45That's right.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Could this cast a dark cloud over their prospects? We'll see.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59That's an interesting thing. Car mascot? Dolphin? No? OK.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Poor old Colin's powers of persuasion don't seem to be working here.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07At 175.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08I think that's too much money.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Do you like it enough to make him an offer? No. No. No? OK.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16No, actually, I don't like it that much. Now it's close up, no.
0:08:16 > 0:08:2030's the best on it. 30's your best on it? No, that's too much.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22No, you don't want to go for that? No. OK, here you go.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Brilliant. Thanks.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I've got two big boys and they want something big, can you help them?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Have you seen the ship's lantern? Oh, that's quite nice, yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37That is quite nice. What do we know about that then?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Apart from it's a ship's lantern.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43It's from 1910, I think. Yeah. What sort of money is this for me?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45It would have to be 160.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48What is that going to make in auction, do you think?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I would reckon it would make about 200.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I mean, they are very collectible.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56We've only ever had two of these. How much did your first one go for?
0:08:56 > 0:09:01That fetched 280. Who is going to buy it? Any prospective pirates.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Pirates, do we have any pirates here? Ex-sailors might want one, maybe.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06What would an ex-sailor do with it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Look at it, I don't know. Reminisce. Reminisce about times lost.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16I've got to say, that, in a maritime sale, would bring buyers out. OK.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Into a general sale, this is where we really have to take a punt,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20take a chance, don't we?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23If you've got the internet link, you'd be fine with it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26What would be the absolute best for it?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28150. 150.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Go on, Buzz. Come on, Buzz.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Go on, Buzz. 130, Buzz. She just uses my money.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Split the difference, 140, yes, you can have it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Shall we offer him 100 for this?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Well, I'm going to leave that to you, but in a very charming way.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49We really like it. We'd like to...
0:09:49 > 0:09:50What's a pirate term?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Steal it.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54We would like to steal it, but we can't.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56We would like to offer you £120.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59We will help you with that crate.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Come back when it's full.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Seriously, we can't give stuff away, we are here to sell.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07130, meet me halfway?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Yeah, yeah. 130?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Yeah, and I think you'll do really well.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14That was a bit rubbishy pirate behaviour, I've got to say.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17A real pirate would've got in there absolutely ruthlessly.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18We wouldn't have even spoken to them,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21we would have picked it up and run off into the distance.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Thank you, everybody. Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26So, the Blues are on the high seas with their first item...
0:10:29 > 0:10:32..while Maddie has alighted on one of her favourite colours.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38So, you like that, why? Because it is green. Because it is green, OK.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42No, it's not doing it for me. No? Well, you're orange. I know.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Let's leave it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52It's an African bowl. Yeah. Look at that.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Tim, you said you wanted something that would work as a serviceable hat.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Let's see. It just about fits over your head. No, it is a bit small.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It is an ideal hat for me, I've got a massive head.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07£75 price tag. It is a good thing, there's no doubt about it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11And, you know, I'd have it for that sort of money for home.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14But I wouldn't put it into a general sale. No. Positively not.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Yeah, I quite like that. Yeah? Yeah. Am I good? A hat-trick of likes!
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Right. OK, we like the object, that is always a good start.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Let's see what the condition is like.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30That looks all right, doesn't it?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33No chips on it or cracks. No chips. I do like that. It's got a look about it.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36What would be the absolute best you could do on the...?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40What have I got on it? 28 is the price that you've got on it.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44You wouldn't go down to 20, would you? Um, 22?
0:11:44 > 0:11:4621, like my age.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Go on, then.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Yes. Yeah. Definitely. An expert has been believed!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Yay! We have a deal.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Thanks very much. Thank you very much indeed.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58So, the Reds have an item bagged.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Tim and Simon have been drawn to another small animal.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09That is a quirky thing. Because it's a dog. It is a dog? Certainly.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It is quite recognisable as a dog.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I like that, it's a table piece.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It is alabaster on a marble base.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Have a hold of him. It's heavier than I expected.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Have a go on that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Do think there's a market for it?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Always, particularly animals and particularly dogs.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Oh, yeah, everyone loves dogs. Everybody loves animals.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Everybody loves dogs. You might make £60 or £80, possibly.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37If you could get him for 25 quid,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41he would be a good choice for an auction.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42If we can make some money, we should get it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm not too bothered about liking it,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I just want to make money.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49That's the pirate in you coming out, see? Ruthless!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Shall I get a price on him? Let's.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55There's 38 on him, can we get him 20-ish?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Yeah, I'll do it for 25.
0:12:58 > 0:13:0125? Happy, boys? Very happy.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03That was the target, let's go for it. Excellent, thank you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06There you go, you own a dog. Yes! What should we call it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Let's call him Barry. Barry the dog.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You are going to make us some money.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Marvellous!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Let leave Barry where he is and we'll get him later, shall we? Yes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18He is not going to run away, is he? Hopefully not.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28This won't be everybody's cup of tea, but it is mine. OK.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31What do you think to that? Not at that price. What would be your best?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35The absolute best... 45? £40.
0:13:35 > 0:13:3840. What do you think it might make? I would go to auction
0:13:38 > 0:13:40with an estimate of £30 to £50,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43so it's right in the middle of it.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Right in the middle. You wouldn't come down the 35, would you?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48No, that leaves me nothing in it.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52What do you think, Madeleine? No. No?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Would you hang on to it for ten minutes?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Absolutely, no problem. Yeah? OK. Excellent.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Lovely. Thank you.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Mm. Sally is a canny player.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06But there is only so much time in this game
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and Simon has got something ringing in his ear.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11BELL RINGS
0:14:11 > 0:14:15A bell? Oh. How is that?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21So that would have presumably been driven by something. A hamster.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28It makes a nice ring. It does. It could get on your nerves. It would.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I think we best put it away before... How much money do we have left?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Um... 145, is it? 145.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38OK. That is still quite a lot of money.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40That's actually a very good question,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42because now we know we can't spend any more than that.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46So, come on. Actually, seriously, time is a-pushing now.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47OK, let's go find something.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Ah, the Reds are starting to panic now. How are your jogging skills?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Pretty good. Good.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59All right, let's go for it, because we are losing so much time.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00OK.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02They need to explore another marquee.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10And Sally spots something promising.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I quite like that flat dish with the flowers on it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yeah, that's nice. Do like that?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18That's OK. Yeah, it is marked at 85.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22What would be your absolute best on the...
0:15:22 > 0:15:23That one, Moorcroft?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26£70. I think we've got a chance with that.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Yeah? Yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I mean, it won't race away because it is not old Moorcroft,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33but it is just a good, clean, pretty item.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37The reality is it's one of those things that is either going to be a short-loss,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39short-profit or a break-even.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42And I can't tell you it's going to be any better than that.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45What do you think? I think we should go for that. You do?
0:15:45 > 0:15:46OK, I think we're going to go for that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Do want to try and negotiate and see
0:15:48 > 0:15:51if you can get an extra couple quid out of it?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Oh, shucks. Will you take 68?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I can't. He can't.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Split the difference, 69? Oh, go on then.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Yeah, 69 then, lovely.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Yes, we love that, thank you. OK, thank you.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09So, the Reds now have two items.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14And the Blues are facing a hard sell on the military figure.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17That's quite nice. That's quite interesting.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20You are not going to find another one. It is so creative.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Obviously, he has no shoes on. It is fully kitted out.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It's just a lovely bronze. You know what he is, don't you?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30He is a native soldier. Absolutely. I am asking 185.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34To help the lads out, 130 would be the best on it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36And that is a good little find. It is a specky little bit.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It could appeal to someone into bronzes,
0:16:38 > 0:16:43military dealer or someone who it just catches their eye.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46There is a good profit in that. I can see that doing in the saleroom...
0:16:46 > 0:16:50I can see it doing the top end of £200.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Oh, you are putting yourself on the line there, Darren.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56You've said it! We should make a deal.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57That's a winner, that is.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It has a lot going for it, I have to say. It has a lot going for it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02He is a very good salesman, Darren. He certainly is.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04We're getting all fired up over it.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Darren, for me, what is the absolute death on him?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Well, like I say...
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Go on, Darren, go for the kill. Come on, Darren.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Get us, Darren, get our money!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17120 and that's it, I'm out. OK, 120.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21120 and that is it. And you're onto a winner with that.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Do you like to take a chance, guys?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25We do like to take a chance and it is manly.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27It is very manly. He's got a gun.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And he doesn't wear shoes.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32He is hard as nails. You couldn't get any more manly than that.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36For £120, that is going to do well in auction.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39That's very confident. That's good enough for me. Has he sold it to you?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Hold Darren to his word. Darren, you're a good man.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Fantastic. Thank you very much, lads. I do wish you well on that.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Thank you. Cheers. If you see a Red Team coming by...
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Up the prices. Absolutely.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Up the road, lickety-split. Fantastic.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57So, after some gentle persuasion,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00the Blues have bagged all three items.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Meanwhile, the girls have spotted a small silver figure.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09May we have a look - at the silver seal, there's lady.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Oh, yes.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I think that is rather sweet.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Unusual little thing. Isn't it just?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Not a lot of definition on the face. No.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22But having said that, it would've been held on the body part,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25so it's going to have a little bit of wear over the years.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Somebody's initials on the bottom there.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31C or G, WW.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's got a mark on it. Let's have a look.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36First thing we've got,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39we've got the anchor for the Birmingham Assay Office.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43The maker's mark is actually rubbed, but it is actually English silver,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46looking late-Victorian, probably about 1893.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51It is marked at 85. Marked at 85. I honestly don't know, but I like it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55You would put it into auction at an estimate of £50 to £80 and have your fingers crossed.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58What would be best? This would come down to your negotiation skills.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02What have we got on that? It's marked £85.
0:19:02 > 0:19:0575. £75.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06You couldn't do 70, could you?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12If you really twist my arm, I could do £70. There you go then.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Yeah? Yeah. Should we go for that? Let's go for that. I like that.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I think that's good. Yeah? Cool. Brilliant.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Thank you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Excellent. Cheers. Thank you. Thank you.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Got there! And still time to go.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Well done, girls.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Mission accomplished, girls.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Time is up. Well done, teams.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Six items bought, paid for, ready to be auctioned.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Let's have a quick recap of what the Red Team splashed the cash on.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49They picked up
0:19:49 > 0:19:51a stoneware pot for £21.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55A pretty Moorcroft dish
0:19:55 > 0:19:57cost the girls £69.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01And an 1893 silver seal
0:20:01 > 0:20:03set them back £70.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09You look like you're doing the conga.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Is this all for mutual support or what? It is. It is. Absolutely.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17The silver, of course.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Wonderful. Oh, good, I love it when they get on, don't you?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23How much did you spend all round? 160? Yes.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26£160, I'd like £140 of the left over lolly.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Thank you very much. £140 goes straight to C Young.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Thank you very much. So, Colin, what he did to that?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Well, I saw a couple of things as we wandered round.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37There were some things they didn't like,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39so I certainly won't be buying those.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42But maybe a surprise in store for you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43What a tease you are, Colin.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Anyway, good luck, girls. Good luck, Colin.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Meanwhile, why don't we remind ourselves what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52The pirates of Shrewsbury snatched
0:20:52 > 0:20:56a ship's lantern for £130.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57They walked off
0:20:57 > 0:21:00with an alabaster dog at £25.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03And their booty was completed
0:21:03 > 0:21:05with a bronze soldier at 120.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Marvellous. I'm very happy.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Well, you lot look pretty perky. Oh, yes. What have you got there?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Look at him, isn't he wonderful?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18We love him! It's Rodney. Rodney, the soldier. Rodney, the soldier.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21What an unusual thing! Anyway, had a good time?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Yeah, very good. So, Tim, great name, what is your favourite item?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29It has got to be Rodney, I think. Yeah. Do you agree with that?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Well, I quite like Barry the dog,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34but my favourite has got to be the lantern.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37That is your all-time favourite? Yeah. Your favourite favourite.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41And how much did you boys spend? 275. 275?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44That is a proper amount of money, isn't it?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Where is the 25 smacks, then? In my pocket. Got that, Simon?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Thank you very much. £25. That is going straight across to Harper.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53What are you going to buy then?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I've only got £25. They have bought some fantastic things.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01So, I've got a big job ahead of me to buy anything remotely as good.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04We have faith in you. We want some dinner out of that, as well.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Pork baps. There are a few challenges there, aren't there?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Anyway, good luck, boys. Good luck, David.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere absolutely splendiferous.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29This is Nunnington Hall, a 17th-century manor house
0:22:29 > 0:22:34on the banks of the River Rye near Helmsley in north Yorkshire.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38It became National Trust property in 1952,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42when they had to set about furnishing it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Believe it or not, the Trust added more than 20 extra rooms
0:22:49 > 0:22:54to the property, containing some very distinguished objects.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58What a gorgeous room.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Except it is not full-size.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Look at that, a miniature room,
0:23:03 > 0:23:08one of 22 miniature rooms which the National Trust
0:23:08 > 0:23:11were bequeathed by Mrs Carlisle,
0:23:11 > 0:23:15who started collecting in about 1920,
0:23:15 > 0:23:20and for the next 40 years she went hard at it.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Every time she got a suitable quantity of miniature items,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27she simply commissioned another room
0:23:27 > 0:23:32in which to place them in the style that she had selected.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34And this is her Queen Anne style.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39And if we pick up this Queen Anne-style armchair...
0:23:39 > 0:23:43This is so shiny and so perfect
0:23:43 > 0:23:47it almost looks as if it is moulded out of plastic, but it's not.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51It's made of solid walnut that has then been French-polished.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54It is complete with a drop-in seat
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and is more or less made exactly the way
0:23:57 > 0:24:01that a Queen Anne early-18th-century cabinet-maker
0:24:01 > 0:24:04would make a full-sized piece.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Mrs Carlisle lived in Berkshire
0:24:07 > 0:24:10and showed her collection of miniatures at her family home
0:24:10 > 0:24:15for many years, then bequeathed them to the Trust in 1970.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Of course, many items are extremely fragile,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21not least these little beauties.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Every music room should be stuffed with instruments and, boy,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29have we got some miniature instruments here.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33A harpsichord, look. A couple of cellos, lots of violins.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39And as you would expect in any Robert Adam-designed music room,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43we've got a series of Wedgwood jasper ovals
0:24:43 > 0:24:45built into the back wall.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Charming.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57Every self-respecting Georgian Chippendale library
0:24:57 > 0:25:02is dominated by a decent library desk, and this one is no exception.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07We have got the leather blotter and the stationery rack,
0:25:07 > 0:25:12the tray, which would hold all those unpaid bills.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Look at that gorgeous solid-silver encrier
0:25:15 > 0:25:17and the pair of candlesticks.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21All set out as if they are about to be used.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25What are you supposed to do in the library? Well, try reading.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30That's why this one's got a canterbury in it filled with mags.
0:25:30 > 0:25:36Look, Country Life and even a miniature copy of The Times,
0:25:36 > 0:25:42which is printed on wafer, wafer-thin paper,
0:25:42 > 0:25:43like that.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Absolutely delightful.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Mrs Carlisle has omitted nothing, because the walls
0:25:49 > 0:25:55are lined in coloured, 17th-century-style maps
0:25:55 > 0:25:58and the fireplace is dominated by a miniature
0:25:58 > 0:26:04of Princess Elizabeth, shortly to become Queen Elizabeth II.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13This Palladian hall, unusually for Mrs Carlisle's collection,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16is actually based on a real interior -
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Hatch Court, in Somerset,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21which was built in 1755.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25And this is a carefully-constructed replica
0:26:25 > 0:26:30of what the architectural details in that hall look like.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35And Mrs Carlisle was clearly a crafts person herself
0:26:35 > 0:26:39because with her own fair hands, in petit-point needlework,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43she worked the two oval Adam-style carpets
0:26:43 > 0:26:49and all 88 inches of petit-point stair carpet
0:26:49 > 0:26:52laid up the Palladian staircase.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Getting back to scale, though, the big question is,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00can our teams magnify their fortunes at today's auction?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08We are back in Shrewsbury at the full-size Halls saleroom
0:27:08 > 0:27:11to find out what auctioneer Jeremy Lamond
0:27:11 > 0:27:13thinks of our team's purchases.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Jeremy, hello. Welcome. Very nice to see you again.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Now, Sally and Madeleine, down the road, found this stoneware pot.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Which is certainly salt-glazed, isn't it?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29It is certainly salt-glazed, and you can see that from the lustre on it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31"Made in France" on the bottom. Probably French, then.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35We've cracked it, we know where it has been made. Yes. It's not damaged.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It's a nice object.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40And they are incredibly tough, this type of ceramic, isn't it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Absolutely, you could make your drains out of it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Make your drains... Well, Doulton did.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Made a fortune out of it!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50How much? £15, £20, we think.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53OK, £21 paid, so that's fine.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Next is the oval Moorcroft dish.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's such a good seller, isn't it? Moorcroft, really.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01There is a wide constituency of collectors
0:28:01 > 0:28:04who constantly step up to the plate to buy it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07We think this will make £20 to £30.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Not too keen an appetite here than in Shrewsbury.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Our guys paid £69 for this.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Well, they might get that back. We'll have to cross our legs.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Lastly is the silver desk seal, which is a sweet little thing,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I think. Charming.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Yes, it is. It is a novelty piece, isn't it, a figure like that?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I suppose if it is the seal you want on the bottom, even more.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31So, we thought £40 to £60.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Not quite the seal of approval. No? No. £70 paid.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Well. Might get there? Yeah, they might be there.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40If you are successful, they won't need the bonus buy,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47So, Sally and Maddie, this is your moment.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50You gave Colin Young £140. Colin, what did you spend it on?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53I spent it on something big and bold,
0:28:53 > 0:28:57by way of colour and design.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00OK. Tiny.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Tell me you didn't spend very much on that, Colin.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Right. I'm already in the hole here.
0:29:05 > 0:29:11Yeah, all right, I'll come out with the price for starters. For £130. Clarice Cliff?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Well done! Is it? It is Clarice Cliff.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Oh, my goodness! You are smiling now, aren't you?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Slightly different approach to it. OK.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Now I'm chuffed, because I love Clarice Cliff.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25I'm not sure I would've spent that much. It is tiny.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29We shall see. So what do you think? What would be your guide price?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33I would hope at auction it certainly should do a minimum of £150,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35£200. I think it is a great buy.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37OK. We'll see. We'll see.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40To recap, he thinks £150 to £200, maybe.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44He paid £130, so there is money in that, we hope.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47If you decide that you need to take it,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50there will be more critique, but now, for the viewers at home,
0:29:50 > 0:29:54let's find out with the auctioneer thinks about Clarice Cliff.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Another old favourite, look. Well, this is quite nice, isn't it?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00A thistle-shaped Clarice Cliff blue crocus pattern vase.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I think there'll be a lot of collectors for that.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Blue crocus pattern isn't uncommon,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10but this on this shape is quite good.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13I don't know what they paid for it, but we think 80 to 120.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17We think there will be a lot of interest in it. Maybe more than that. More than 120?
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Yeah. Colin Young, as his bonus buy, paid £130.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Well, I think you'll get out of that. Do you? Yeah.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25It's a good little object. That's nice.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Now, that is it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Tim and Simon - great name, Tim. First up is this lantern.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Long way from the sea here, aren't we? Isn't it just?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Yeah, big copper lantern, a good decorator's piece,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42unless you've got a boat,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45in which case it would be a good, useful piece, wouldn't it?
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Vital, I'd say, at night.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50We hope it lights up the saleroom. We put a top price of 50 on it.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Did you? £130 paid.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Yeah, you are going to need a mariner to buy it at that rate.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59I think you might. Either that or a scrap-metal man.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Next up is the carved dog.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Yep. On a marble stand. Well-sculpted little poodle.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Probably Italian or French.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13How much? 15 to 20. £25 paid.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18Good choice. I think your estimate is modest. I think it is, too.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Anyway, a chance to retrieve the situation
0:31:20 > 0:31:24with the bronze soldier. How do you rate him? Well, he is a suave Zouave, isn't he?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26But there is, again,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30a good collector base for these World War I subjects.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34How do you reckon it? We've got £20 to £30.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36There's a little bit of damage at the bottom. How much?
0:31:36 > 0:31:3820 to 30. Good Lord!
0:31:38 > 0:31:39£120 they paid for him.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41That could be their downfall.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44In which case they will definitely need the bonus buy,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46so let us go and have a look at it.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Now, Tim and Si, you spent a magnificent £275.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54I'm so proud of you. £25 went to David Harper.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58David, what did you find? OK, boys, we're in touch with our feminine side,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01aren't we? Of course. Little bit. We're confident, Tim,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04we're confident. How delicate and pretty are they?
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Are they tiny little photo frames? They are tiny little photo frames.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11And date-wise, take a guess.
0:32:11 > 0:32:121930s?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14OK, well, not really.
0:32:14 > 0:32:181890s. It's only 40 years, it's fine.
0:32:18 > 0:32:221890s in style, late-Victorian. But actually, they're very modern.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25They're imported, solid silver. But they're imported.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28And they were imported and hallmarked in 1989.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31So, in this world, they're very, very modern.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33How much did you pay for them? A tenner for the pair.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36A tenner? Yes. Did you really? Yes!
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Solid silver?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Solid silver, but not British, hallmarked imported.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45OK. How weighty are they? Grab one, Tim. Have a little handle, chaps.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48It's basically bought on weight. How much will they bring in?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50They should double or treble their money,
0:32:50 > 0:32:55cos they're worth more than their weight because they are intrinsically lovely.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57OK, so that's a profit either way.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59That's my prediction, absolutely.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01There you go. I think he reassured you, lads,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03but you don't have to decide now.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05You decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:33:05 > 0:33:11For the audience at home, let's see whether they think that David Harper has been double-framed here.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Aren't they charming? Aren't they just?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18What sort of age do the you think they've got?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Well, these are 20th-century, in a Victorian style,
0:33:20 > 0:33:23but they're pretty good little things, aren't they?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26It's the sort of thing that you could put your favourite stamp in.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Yes. Or your number-one wife.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32And number-two. And number-two.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Anyway, they're solid silver, nicely-cast silver.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38They have a bit of weight to them even though they are tiny.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41What sort of money do you think, Jeremy? 40, 60. Brilliant.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43£10 paid. That's great.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Now, that is a bargain. That is a bargain. If the team decide to go with them,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50that will be the big question that has to be answered
0:33:50 > 0:33:52in just a moment.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57At 150.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00OK, Sal, you all right, girl?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03A bit nervous. You all right, Maddie? Excited.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Are you worried about anything? No.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Not at all? What about you, Sal? I'm a bit worried about the Moorcroft.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Why is that? Well, because I think we paid too much for it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17£69 you paid. He has only put £20 to £30 on it.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20I think that is way too low. I wouldn't worry about the estimate.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Anyway, first up is the salt-glazed French wine pot, and here it comes.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Here we are, lot 134,
0:34:27 > 0:34:31a French, brown, salt-glazed stoneware wine pot and cover.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33£15 for it.
0:34:33 > 0:34:3415.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Good Lord. He will give me £15?
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Right smart, no damage. Ten.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Oh. Where is £10 for it?
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Smart little wine pot at ten.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43At ten.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Five I'm bid, five only.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48This is not a bottle of plonk!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50At five! Who will go eight?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52£5 I've got.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54£5.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Eight on the internet.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57It is from France!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02You're against the French there.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04They spot a good thing when they see it. Ten now.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Is there a bit of Gallic pride going on? 15.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11£15. Back to France at £15.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Anybody else?
0:35:12 > 0:35:13At 15.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I am selling it to the French
0:35:16 > 0:35:19for £15.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Oh, dear, bad luck.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22£15 is minus six.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Bad luck, bad luck.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Now, Moorcroft.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27And Lot 135,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30the Moorcroft hibiscus-pattern oval dish.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32£20 for it.
0:35:32 > 0:35:3520 is bid. Already at £20.
0:35:35 > 0:35:3620 at the back of the room.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40£20 is bid. At 20. Where is 22?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43At £20 bid then. At 20 only.
0:35:43 > 0:35:4522. 25.
0:35:45 > 0:35:4728. 30.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Against you, sir, 32.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5135.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55At £35 in the centre of the room.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57At £35. Are we all done at £35?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I am selling it at 35.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Look out. Yeah. £35.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05That is minus £34.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09And lot 136 is this rather smart Victorian silver desk seal.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Already I have interest here.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1435, 40, £45 I can start.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1650. 55.
0:36:16 > 0:36:1860. At £60,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20the bid is in the room. At £60,
0:36:20 > 0:36:21it's with you.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24At £60, the bid is on my left.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Come on! Are we all finished?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28£60.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Oh, dear, that is minus ten pounds.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32That is minus £50.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Well, it is fairly bloody if it's not a bloodbath.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40We did say in the car on the way here that if we were at a loss,
0:36:40 > 0:36:42we would go with the bonus buy.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Irrespective of what it is? Irrespective. OK, fine.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48We are going with the bonus buy? Yes. We are going with the bonus by.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50The decision is made. Here it comes.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Now, here we have a Clarice Cliff bizarre vase,
0:36:53 > 0:36:55a little thistle-shaped crocus vase,
0:36:55 > 0:36:56very unusual shape this.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59I could start this lot here
0:36:59 > 0:37:01at £95, £100.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04At £100 I'm bid immediately.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07At £100. It is a commission bid.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09At £100. 110 on the internet.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12115 here, on my commission.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14120 at the back of the room.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17At 130 on the internet. 140.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20At 140 against you. 150.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23160. At 160. 170.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25180. 180.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28190. 200.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I've got 210.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33220. 220.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35At £220.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36It's with you still, sir.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39The bid is in the room at £220.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40The internet is out.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43At 220. All finished.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44That man... Yes!
0:37:44 > 0:37:48That man has just made you £90.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Thank you! We love you!
0:37:50 > 0:37:51£90.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58What about that? He's just made you... Now, you lost £50.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00You went with his brilliant bonus buy,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03which means that now you are plus 40. Catching!
0:38:03 > 0:38:06You have £40 to take home, how good is that?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Very good. But the big thing is don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Oh, OK. Not a dickybird.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15In fact, look a bit... In fact, look a bit gloomy.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19If that is possible. No, that's not possible.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30So, Tim, Simon. Been chatting to the Reds? No. No.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34You don't know how they got on? They are enemies. They are enemies.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Yeah, but you have no idea how they got on? No. That is perfectly good.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40OK, Simon, you are the light of our lives.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Coming up with your lantern. Shed some light on the situation.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Yeah, you are the bright spark, with the lantern.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Anyway, here it comes. £30 to £50 is his estimate.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Now then, we have a large copper-and-brass
0:38:53 > 0:38:54ship's paraffin lamp.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57So, I'm bid immediately.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58£30 I've got.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00At 30. At £30.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02At 30. Five. 40.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Five. £45. At 45, any more?
0:39:06 > 0:39:0850. Yes! Five.
0:39:08 > 0:39:1060. 65.
0:39:10 > 0:39:1170.
0:39:11 > 0:39:1570. The bid is at the front at £70.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16At 70.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Oh, no. £70 is minus 60.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23And this nice little poodle here.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Good little model.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Already I'm bid £20.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30At 20. At £20. At 20.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33To a commission bidder at £20.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Any more? At 20.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36To a commission. Selling it.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Sure?
0:39:38 > 0:39:4022. 25.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42At £25 now. 25.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Are we all finished now at £25?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47You sure at £25?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Wiped its face. There you go.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52No profit, no loss, no shame.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Lot 157 is this bronze-cast figure
0:39:55 > 0:39:58of a Zouave corporal in battledress,
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Lot 157.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Various commissions here. Very popular.
0:40:01 > 0:40:0570, 80, 90 starting.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06At £90 I'm starting.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09At 90. To a commission bidder.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12At £90. At 90.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15100 is your next bid. At £90.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Are we all finished, then? At 90.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18No! Go on!
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Selling it at £90.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20You're kidding!
0:40:20 > 0:40:23That is minus £30. Wow!
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Unbelievable. OK, come on, lads,
0:40:25 > 0:40:27let's buck ourselves up. You're minus £90,
0:40:27 > 0:40:29that is your score, which is so,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31so, so much better than it could've been.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Yeah, it could've been a hell of a lot worse.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36What will we do with the frames? Are you going with them? Yes.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38It's a no-brainer, isn't it? Yes.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40For £10 for those two. Got to do it.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42You're going with it? You're going with it.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45All right, the decision is made. We are going with the bonus buy.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50We have two Victorian-style miniature photograph frames.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Little silver ones here. Very cute.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55What about them? £40.
0:40:55 > 0:40:5840 is bid immediately. At £40.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Any more? At £40 it is.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Five. Yes! 50.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04Five.
0:41:04 > 0:41:0655, front row.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08£55. Come on, internet!
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Selling at £55.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11All done at 55?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13You're 100 short.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Well done, David,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17that is £45 profit. Good work.
0:41:17 > 0:41:23Which slashes your £90 losses to only minus £45. That's good.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26And who knows, chaps, minus £45 could be a winning score.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Absolutely. It could be.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Don't say a word to the Reds.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Well, I think a big congratulation
0:41:40 > 0:41:43and pat on the back all round to our experts,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46who've performed so magnificently.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51Where results today would be insignificant were it not
0:41:51 > 0:41:53for the efforts of our experts.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56It has affected the score
0:41:56 > 0:41:59and it has raised one team from the depths of the abyss
0:41:59 > 0:42:01into a profit,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04but it wasn't good enough to help the other.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07And the team that's down, I'm afraid, are the Blues. Oh! What!
0:42:07 > 0:42:12I can't believe it! Unbelievable. I wouldn't have predicted that.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16I know. Who would have thought that? Minus £45 is your overall score.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18But it would have been so much worse
0:42:18 > 0:42:23if David hadn't contributed £45 of profit to reduce things.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25I hope you've enjoyed your day out.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Absolutely. It's been brilliant.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32But the victors today who go home with £40...
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Yes! ..of folding money. Here comes your 40 smackers, entirely made up
0:42:36 > 0:42:43by the £90 profit which Colin Young created with his Clarice Cliff pot.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46So he is your hero. He is, absolutely. Yeah, he's my hero, too.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Had a nice time? Lovely, thank you. Yeah, it has been good fun.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Yes, it has. Got 20 quid each and we've had a great day.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Anyway, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:54 > 0:42:55ALL: Yes!
