0:00:08 > 0:00:12What do you do in the largest antiques fair in Europe?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14You go shopping.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18So, come on, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Today's show comes from the East Midlands.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48You heard it right. We're at the International Art & Antiques Fair
0:00:48 > 0:00:50at the Newark & Nottingham Showground,
0:00:50 > 0:00:51and it is MASSIVE!
0:00:51 > 0:00:54With all this choice knocking about,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58our teams finding three objects in only an hour could be a tall order.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01So, let's hope for the best!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05But hope is in very short supply on the Red Team.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09What can I do? I can advise them. But I'm not here to say,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11"Don't buy it". She loved it.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13She had passion in her eye.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And there's double trouble with the Blues.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I'm confused now. Which one's Gareth, and which one's Carl?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23But, judging by the crowd, it could all work out well at the auction, so stay tuned.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Let's meet the teams.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Today, for the Reds,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30we have recently engaged couple,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Jodie and Jon.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Very nice to see you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And identical twins, Gareth and Carl, for the Blues.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Hello, boys.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Now, Jodie, how did you meet
0:01:40 > 0:01:42your gorgeous hunk?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It was through a mutual friend,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and I was offered a night of free loving with Mr Biggs.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Really?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Which I replied, "I will, if he wines and dines me first",
0:01:52 > 0:01:55which he did, after about a month of us emailing each other first.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57There was some drama, when you proposed?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Yeah, a little bit. We went to a pub quiz the night before.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03An old pub in Northumberland - the walls are thick,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05there's no reception on the mobile,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07so I thought I'd do the right thing,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11and text her mum and say, "I'll propose to your daughter tomorrow",
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- but I sent the message to HER instead.- Ah!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I was left with the dilemma that I had to go back inside, and tell her
0:02:17 > 0:02:20she couldn't read the message I'd just sent to her,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22until the next day.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23And did you?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26No, I was very good, but I kept it, in case.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- You never know.- Exactly.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Alarm bells might have been ringing at the time.- Very strange, that.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Tell us about your hobbies, John.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Cooking's my main hobby. I've a big courtyard garden,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39loads of plants - peppers, fruits and chillies, and stuff.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43So, Jodie, once you've enjoyed these amazing meals cooked up by John,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46what do you do to relax?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I read an awful lot, to the point I'm a bit ignorant sometimes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I've read since I was little.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Started off with Beatrix Potter and Enid Blyton, through teen books.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Now I'm into the vampire ones.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02So, when it gets dark and spooky, you're very happy.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Yes, very much so.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Do you get frightened by that stuff?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10No. It's more sexy than it is scary nowadays, in the vampire books.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It's the new thing, I think.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Are you confident the two of you will beat the Blues?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Yes! Of course, we are!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Why not?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- You've never been scared of twins, then?- Oh, never, never!
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Just as well. Very good luck to you both.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Gareth, how am I going to tell the difference between you and your bro?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I suppose it's quite difficult, cos we ARE identical twins,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37especially when we're both wearing blue fleeces,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41but I'm five minutes older, so I'm the wiser one.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44He's the younger one, so he's the slightly more evil one.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Look at his face. He certainly doesn't agree.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- No, not all.- Not, a bit, Carl.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53So, a little bit of rivalry, but tell us about your PhD, Gareth.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57I'm studying a PhD in Sustainable Design at Loughborough University,
0:03:57 > 0:04:02and what I look at is how we can use technology
0:04:02 > 0:04:05to influence the change in consumer behaviour, to help them save energy.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Carl, you're in the design world a bit too?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I'm sort of in the film world. Well, my mind's in the film world.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Does that mean you watch a lot of films?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Well, yes, Tim.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's kind of my career at the moment, to watch films.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'm doing a Ph D in...
0:04:21 > 0:04:23You're not doing a Ph D, too?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Yes!- We've got two brainboxes in this family, then.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I dread to ask you what you boys' tactics will be today?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34An idea I've got is, if we take the £300,
0:04:34 > 0:04:39and we look for about three objects that are £100 each,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and try and bring them down to £75 per item...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Which you can negotiate.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Then leave us £75, which we can leave for our bonus buy.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50That's a good strategy. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Now, the money moment. Here's your money. There's your £300.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59And very, very, very good luck!
0:05:04 > 0:05:08As ever, we have our two experts standing by,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10to offer the benefit of their experience.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14The Reds are in the capable hands of Mark Stacey,
0:05:14 > 0:05:15otherwise known as "Smiler".
0:05:15 > 0:05:18While the Blues have Catherine Southon to show them the way.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22We've got quite a full fair here.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's very busy.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Jodie, Jonathan, have you got a cunning plan?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Slightly.- Oh, yes?- I'm going shiny.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31THEY LAUGH
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Anything shiny. - Bling, in other words.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Anything shiny, she's like a magpie.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- It's about the bling. - And what about you, Jonathan?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I like historical memorabilia.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44War stuff and bits and bobs. I love chess, as well.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46So, THAT's the Reds' tactic.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I wonder what Catherine will make of Gareth's £75 strategy.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Or, was it Carl's? Who can tell?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55He's thought this through, hasn't he?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57He's thought it through more than me.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01My strategy is quite simple. It's just buy big, spend big.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- So, we're going to spend money today, then?- Oh, yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Serious money?- Definitely.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Let's get going.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09In amongst these 4,000 stalls,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13there must be millions of bargains, just waiting to be hunted down.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18No sitting down on the job, Jon.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Not at this time of day, anyway.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Where do you want to go, guys?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I was looking at that. It's nice, to be fair.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It's Royal Crown Derby. It IS beautiful. That's £380.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- OK.- It's a work of art.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36What about the smaller bits? Maybe just as much?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'd imagine that's £100-odd.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41That's £35. It's quite a nice shape.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I like that multi-layered line going round the edges.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48It's rather nice, isn't it?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's 1916, so it's nearly 100 years old.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53As far as I can see, that looks in good condition.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55The colours and everything...
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's very bright and decorative.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It's something that would catch my eye.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03What do you think if we try and say to the dealer... Look that's £22.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06So, your looking at £57, altogether.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09If we put that as a little job lot, the two together,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I think if I was putting those into auction,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'd probably look at something like £40 to £60 for the two.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20They're priced at £57, at the real top end of the estimate.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22So, we can get them down a little bit?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26We love your Derby, but most of it's way out of our budget.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29We understand why, because it's lovely quality.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- We have found these two pieces, which seem quite reasonably priced. - Right, yes, they are already.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- JON: We've one at £35. - And one at £22.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38We were thinking of putting them into the sale
0:07:38 > 0:07:40as a job lot of the two together.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44DEALER: I was going to say you could have them both for £45, if that's of any use to you?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- JON: £45 sounds good.- Could we go down to the £40?- DEALER: Mmm...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Can we squeeze you a little bit? - Give us a bit of chance.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- DEALER: Go on, then.- Yay!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57JON: That would be smashing. Thank you very, very much.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59One buy in the bag.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04You are quite impressive. We've had under five minutes,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06and you've already bought your first item,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08for a mere £40.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11That's not bad. Did not expect it to go quite as quickly, though.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I'm scared we're going to go to pot.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Lots of pots round here.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Now, what are those Blues up to?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21They'd like to have a look at your lighter. Is it stamped?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22DEALER: It is.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26It has the early registration mark on the back.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Well, you like nice things, but, £220 is probably...
0:08:31 > 0:08:35DEALER: The best on it's going to be round about £185.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36It's an interesting object,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40but I'm not sure we'd see any money off that.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44It would be nice, boys. But, at half that price...
0:08:44 > 0:08:49It's Italian. It's normally known as Sorrento ware.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53You've got some dancers, there.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57It doesn't have a little secret drawer underneath, does it?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- That front bit slides off. - That way.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03That way, like that?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I see. Then you can keep your secret love letters in there.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's quite fun, isn't it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I think it's probably early 20th century. Does that appeal to you?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I think it's something we'd keep in mind.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Not necessarily something that'd jump out at me,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21but definitely something if we get short of time.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Let's keep it as a possibility, shall we?- Absolutely..
0:09:24 > 0:09:29How are the Blues getting on with their £75 spending strategy?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Uh-oh.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Can I show you something in here?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It's very, very expensive, this is the only thing.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43This... I think it's absolutely beautiful.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45We have the retailer's name, here.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Greaves of Birmingham. It just oozes quality, doesn't it?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52It's absolutely beautiful.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- It has all bits and pieces in here. - Silver plate?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00They are hallmarked inside.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02They all have the retailer's name inside, as well.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Greaves of Birmingham.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Let's have a look inside.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12I shall show you, there would have been places here for more bottles.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17It oozes, oozes quality. But it oozes big price, as well.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19It's at £230.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21How much?!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Bang goes your £75 policy, then.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Why don't you have a word with the stallholder
0:10:28 > 0:10:31and see if you can try and negotiate a price?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34We'd like to tuck it under £200, cos we have to make a profit on this.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Go for it, chaps.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40We want under £200. (Good luck).
0:10:40 > 0:10:43They said from the start they wanted quality.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46They're happy to pay more money for an item that's special.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I think that's it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50What did they say?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54We're definitely happy about it now. We managed to get it to under £200.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56We got it at £195.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I'm confused, now. Which one's Gareth, and which one's Carl?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I'm Gareth.- Gareth will stay on the right and I'll stay on the left.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05What do you think about that, £195?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Shall we go for it?- Let's do it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Go and hand over the cash. Well done, chaps.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14£195. That's a big gamble, Blues!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17But, at least it's one in the old bag.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20We've already had 22 minutes, and we've seen a lot of things.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23But you've only bought the one item.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25We need to commit a bit more.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's commercial, isn't it?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29But it's not very exciting.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32It's not a novelty one, or anything like that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's not going to stand out, is it?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Not really, but we haven't got money to buy things that really stand out.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43You've got £105, and there are 4,000 stalls. You'll find something.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Did you want some silver?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Do you want to have a look at it?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Yes, see what price it is.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51See if it has any hallmarks, or anything like that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Could we have a little look at your fairy brooch?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57And I don't say that every day.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58THEY LAUGH
0:11:58 > 0:12:01JON: That's beautiful. What's your price on that one?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- DEALER: A tenner. - So, it's not silver, then.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08It'll be silver plate, and fairly modern.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's rather pretty. It's quite decorative. What d'you think, Jodie?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Give me some of your lovely opinions.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I would wear it. But I'm a bit obsessed with fairies.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- We've spent £40-odd on the first item.- Yup.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23If you want to buy something less,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- you've less chance of losing anything on it...- That's very true.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29We'll have a bit left over to buy something big,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33and Mr Stacey can buy something decent for his bargain buy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Looks like Jon's encouraging Jodie's bling thing,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39but I'm not sure Mark's that impressed with THAT strategy.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Is £10 your best on that one?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43DEALER: I'll do it for £8.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I would buy something like that for £8, myself.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51JON: I think if you want to get that, you won't make a big loss on it.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- You like it, don't you? - I DO like it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I also like that spoon. I'm being distracted, now.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59That's only £6!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02You can make a little job lot, if you want.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04We can buy half the stall!
0:13:04 > 0:13:05THEY LAUGH
0:13:05 > 0:13:06DEALER: For a fiver.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08That's quite pretty.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13There's tiny damage on the enamel,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15but you've got a little bird finial.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Am I just buying tat, though? - Er, yes.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23But, do you like it? At the moment, we're seeing lots of things
0:13:23 > 0:13:25we KIND OF like, but kind of don't.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27JON: You have to commit some time, haven't you?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29DEALER: A tenner for the two.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31JON: I was about to say £12, but if you can go for £10...
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Shall we go for it?- Do it. - OK, sold. Thank you.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- JON: That'll do nicely. Thank you very much.- Well done.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45What can I say about that last purchase?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Obviously, it's a modern, silver-plated fairy brooch
0:13:48 > 0:13:51that's come from fairyland somewhere,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53if there's such a country.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58And a little 1920s brass spoon with a little bit of damaged enamel
0:13:58 > 0:13:59and a bird on it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04But did you see Jodie's face? She loved it. So what could I do?
0:14:04 > 0:14:09I can advise them but I'm not here to say, "Don't buy it." She loved it.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I mean, she had passion in her eyes.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I wouldn't be surprised if they make a profit on that.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19And that would show us, wouldn't it, Mark? Now, how are the twins doing?
0:14:19 > 0:14:24It's going well. We've got a few objects that we've our eye on.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29More objects that we don't actually want to buy that we've seen.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Better get buying then, Carl, hadn't you? Or was it Gareth?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Let's go into that building there. We've only spent 50 quid so far.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37We got about 20 minutes left.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39We need some money for a bonus buy.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Never mind about the bonus buy, Jon, focus on your own shopping.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Right.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48We've had 40 minutes, 20 minutes left.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50One purchase.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- Now, see that, I like that frame.- Yes.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You've got a maple and gilt wood frame.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01It's very Victorian, sort of cushion frame, we call that,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03because it's got that shape.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06And then you've got an embroidered picture in there
0:15:06 > 0:15:08of a mother and her two children.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Normally, these are quite religious. This is quite a large size.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- What you think of it? - It's quite nice.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17You like tapestries, don't you? So, that might be something good.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Do you?- Yeah. I think so. There's a little bit of damage.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22There's a little bit of damage on there
0:15:22 > 0:15:25but I quite like the sort of blue panels framing it
0:15:25 > 0:15:26with the oak leaves.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31At auction, I would probably put £80-£100 on something like that.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Let's find out how much he wants for it.- OK.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Then we'll take it from there and see whether it's viable.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Then see if it grips you. - We're having a look at this picture.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- You don't want to take this home, do you?- It's big, heavy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- That's not the answer I was looking for.- We like it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Obviously a little bit of damage down here and on the frame
0:15:49 > 0:15:53and we were wondering what your best price for it is.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- I can do it for £100. - For £100 on there.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- That has to be the very best, I'm afraid.- Does it?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Do you think you could do 90 for me, mate?- No, I can't.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- Literally bottom line, £100? - 100 quid is absolutely definite.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Mm. What do you reckon?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Shall we've a little think and have a look on the stall.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18We'll come back to you in a moment then. Thanks very much, mate.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22So what's our plan, chaps?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24What we're going to do is head back to the stall
0:16:24 > 0:16:28that had the glass cabinet with bits and pieces in it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You keep going, I'll catch you up -
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'll just see if there's anything on the way.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36The Blue twins are going it alone. But what have the Reds turned up?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40A bronze vase, Chinese, with a dragon on it.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- I'm a huge fan of that.- Really?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Absolutely, that's something that would really jump out at me.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- I like that a lot.- Really?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Well, I think we've got to ask how much it is, because...
0:16:50 > 0:16:51And quick smart.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53You have said...
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- Is it the chap here? - Let's have a quick ask.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- 350.- Oh! - 350, so that's jumped out at you.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Well off the mark, unfortunately.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05How much?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- What about the pair? - I'm only joking.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12But you'll have to drop your standards, Reds.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Timewise, let's go back and get that tapestry.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Tick tock, tick tock.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- This looks familiar. - Hi, are you alright?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Yes, thank you.- Could we have a look at this inkwell here, please?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- This one.- That's the one.- Thank you.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I can imagine with ink on it, it would look very nice.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- What's the absolute best you can do that?- Let's look at my label.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40£40.
0:17:40 > 0:17:4240's the best you can do?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46What are we doing, chaps? What do we think about the inkwell?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- It seems like quite a good item. - Shall I have a little look?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- There's no chips or anything. - Let us know what you think.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- A little bit.- A tiny little nick on the front, isn't there?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58G, so it's 1906, it's Birmingham.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03The thing about this is it's commercial, isn't it?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It's something that you can sell again and again.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Would you take 30 for it?
0:18:07 > 0:18:0935 is...
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Really? What about if we combined it with something?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Just behind you on the table,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19there's a collection of Carlton Ware.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'll do all of that for £10.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24They're all oddments though, they're not from one set.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27They're from lots of different sets so you'd be really...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30they'd be aimed at the dealers' market, really.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Is Carlton Ware collectable? - Absolutely.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Would someone by a bulk amount? - Yes, I think we'd be fine with that.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Would you do 38? - No, I can't do that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'll do 40, that would be my final.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I think that's a bargain for that.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's not something I'd personally buy for myself
0:18:49 > 0:18:51but then I'm not buying at the auction.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I think that's commercial, that's commercial.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57We should probably go for the two for 40.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- We're really up against it, chaps. - We have what, two minutes left?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I think we probably have about one minute left actually.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Come on! The suspense is killing me.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Are you happy with that?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Yes. Definitely. - We have the decision.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16The twins by their final two lots in a pair! They would.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20£5 for all that Carlton Ware. What a steal!
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Now, did the Reds manage to snag that needlework?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Happy with that?- Yes.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- OK then.- Definitely.- I think we've got a deal.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Come on then.- £100.- Deal.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Thank you very much, that's very kind of you.- Thank you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Thank you.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Stop the clock because time's up!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43They may be out of time
0:19:43 > 0:19:47but I've got a few moments spare to remind you what the teams bought.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50These two pieces of Crown Derby caught the Reds' eye for £40.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Mark wasn't too keen but Jodie couldn't resist these shiny trinkets
0:19:54 > 0:19:57for a paltry tenner and the dealer wouldn't budge on the price
0:19:57 > 0:19:59of this Victorian needlework picture
0:19:59 > 0:20:02so the team splashed out £100.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Wow!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I was very panicked at the end.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Hang on, did you mention the panic word?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- The panic word, yes.- How much was it you spent all round at the end?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- £150.- I'll hand it straight over to the maestro.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well, Tim, it's a lot of money, isn't it?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I've got to try and please two different teams here
0:20:25 > 0:20:28because this one likes bling and he wants something to do with games.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Yeah. We trust your judgement. We saw a few nice things, didn't we?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- A silver chess set. - Find a bling game!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Anyway, good luck with that, Mark. Brilliant.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Why don't we remind ourselves what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44The twins ditched their £75 strategy and took a huge gamble
0:20:44 > 0:20:49with this gentleman's travelling case, spending a whopping £195.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54The silver-topped glass inkwell was more of a bargain at £35.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59And the selection of Carlton Ware for a fiver was a real snip.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- You know what you've spent overall? - 235. £235.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Please may have £65 of leftover lolly, thank you very much.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11That's great. That goes straight over.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13You don't want to be too confused, do you?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I'm confused already so I'm going to see what I can buy for this.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Good luck with your £65. Good luck, chaps. Have a nice cup of tea.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Meanwhile, we're heading off to Stoneleigh Abbey, which is,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26as they say, extraordinary.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Stoneleigh Abbey in Warwickshire has been in the Leigh family since 1561,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39when Thomas Leigh bought the ruins of a Cistercian monastery.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Over the next couple of centuries, the house was much added to,
0:21:44 > 0:21:49most notably with this palatial west wing which was built in the 1700s.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Descendants of Thomas Leigh lived here right up until the 1990s
0:21:54 > 0:21:58and the house still holds echoes of their occupation.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07This is a nice hall chair, isn't it?
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Identifiable as being Leigh property because that special part
0:22:12 > 0:22:18of their arms, the unicorn, has been painted in the middle of the splat.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23It's a kind of way of saying, "This is my chair, this is my house,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25"I have an ancient lineage".
0:22:25 > 0:22:29And the unicorn, well it just says it all.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36They even went so far as to have their coat of arms engraved
0:22:36 > 0:22:39on the gilt metal plates around the electric light switches.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44But by far the most important pieces of bespoke furniture
0:22:44 > 0:22:47in the house is this set of chairs.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Bespoke because the top rail has been carved and decorated
0:22:51 > 0:22:54with the Leigh arms
0:22:54 > 0:22:58and they've been covered in exquisite needlework.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02What's really, really brilliant about this set of chairs
0:23:02 > 0:23:04is the quality of the frames.
0:23:04 > 0:23:11They were probably made around 1715 to 1725.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15And the likely maker would be Moore and Gumley.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19The outset arms are quite exquisite, not only do they move
0:23:19 > 0:23:23in this direction with a serpentine-type shape
0:23:23 > 0:23:28but at the end, they kick eccentrically out
0:23:28 > 0:23:30to the right and left,
0:23:30 > 0:23:35a bit like a shepherd's crook arm but much fancier.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40You've got this bulb that grows at the end of the arm here
0:23:40 > 0:23:43and then it's got this very, complicated curlicue.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46You do all that out of solid walnut.
0:23:46 > 0:23:52And then to make this thing triply grand, you engrave or carve
0:23:52 > 0:23:54into the walnut these designs
0:23:54 > 0:23:58and then you cover those in gold leaf and gesso.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04And they become twice as grand because the light that reflects
0:24:04 > 0:24:09on the frame shines back at you in these parcel gilt areas.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14You'll not find a grander or better set of early 18th-century chairs
0:24:14 > 0:24:18anywhere in the world, which is quite something.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Of course the big thing today is for our teams over at the auction.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Are they going to in such a grand accolade for their efforts?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28We shall see.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Today, the teams' lots will go under the hammer before the bidders of Derbyshire,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36at Hansons Auction Rooms in Mackworth.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37How good is this?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It doesn't come much better than Mackworth, I'm told.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- And with Charles Hanson, what could be nicer? Charlie, how are you? - Tim, there's a buzz, isn't there?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- There's a buzz in the air you'll hear.- Look at all these people. - It's good.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52First up, for our Reds, the two pieces of Crown Derby.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54We frequently sell eight and ten inch dinner plates.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00They make £80-£90, so I can name a lot of prices for certain sized dishes, hopefully.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Good, we've got two here,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04one of which I suppose is a tea bowl, is it?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08The one on the right-hand side is an early one from about 1916.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09A shallow dish maybe for nuts,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12or maybe a decorative trinket dish you might have
0:25:12 > 0:25:14on the dressing table or on your sideboard.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17OK, fine. Two nice pieces, they seem to be in good nick, how much?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Tim, a guide price on the two, they're nice and decorative,
0:25:20 > 0:25:21between £30 and £50.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- £40 paid, that's brilliant.- Fine.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27We've a mixed lot, the fairy brooch
0:25:27 > 0:25:29and this delightful little spoon.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33You've captured, Tim, two great eras, the art nouveau fairy
0:25:33 > 0:25:37and 20 years before, the aesthetic enameled-inset...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39maybe gilt silver spoon...
0:25:39 > 0:25:43We're not sure on the intrinsic metal. It's a really nice spoon.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47They didn't pay much, they paid £10. Will you get them a profit?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50That's a real bargain with a big capital B.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yes, B for bargain. How much, do you think?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55The two together, I hope will make £30.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Marvellous, more than double their money.- Yes.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Jolly good. Now, lastly is the needlework picture.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Now, this is a high Victorian image, isn't it?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It captures the essence almost of Queen Victoria and the two children.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10This is, I think, an early portrait of her, probably after Winterhalter,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- her favourite portrait painter.- Yes.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15And then we've got the nice maple frame.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Yes. I think it's a really nice picture.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21So, erm, are you going to get brave with us here then, Charles?
0:26:21 > 0:26:26I hope, with a fair wind blowing across Derbyshire, it might rise up and take perhaps up to £100.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- It's got a lot going for it, Charles.- Yes, it has.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33It slightly depends on the reaction from your audience in a moment
0:26:33 > 0:26:36but there's certainly plenty of them trotting around,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39all cantering about doing their viewing, which is lovely.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43So, they could need their bonus buy, let's go and have a look at it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48- Now, JJ - Jodie and John. This is your moment.- It is.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50OK, Mark, show us what you've brought.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Well, I'd like John to help me cos I'm holding this very gently.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Can you just... - Pull off the rag.- Thank you.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Oooh!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Oh, look at that. Mirror, mirror on the wall...
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Exactly. I LOVE the sort of Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts period.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05And I thought this was rather nice.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It has a really strong look about it, this beaten look.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11And these lovely sort of almost Celtic roundels on that.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I thought it was rather visually appealing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I think we should sell - with this view, it might add value.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- How much did you spend? - I only spent £30!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- That's brilliant.- That's good.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- So what would you pay for it, Jo? - Erm, yeah, £30-£40, I think.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Would you think people would spend more than me? - Well, I certainly would.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I would love to see it make £50 or £60, actually.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- It's not specialist. You could see it in a house, any house. - Anyway, hold that thought, guys.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42Meanwhile, for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the mirror.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Right, then, Charles. This is supposed to have a Liberty look.
0:27:46 > 0:27:52- Do you agree with that? - Tim, from the exterior we would hope so, and from the rear...yes,
0:27:52 > 0:27:57it's got more pedigree because its back is old -
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- it's going back to perhaps 1900, 1890...- Look at this, Charles.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- All that rotting away there. - I know, I know. It's a good sign.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08And obviously from the front, we've got this fairly tinny,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12hammered copper, which isn't overly exciting but what really makes it
0:28:12 > 0:28:17for me is this almost cast disc-shaped ornament.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20It's got mileage in what it might sell for
0:28:20 > 0:28:24and I'm going to guide it, Tim, for the auction between £30 and £50.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Good for you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30£30 paid by Mark Stacey who, as we all know, is a cunning little operator.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31A good buy.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33That's it for the Reds, moving on to the Blues.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37First for them is the Gladstone bag, what a handsome one that is.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Tim, the exterior is pretty good, but the interior is even better.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Look at that.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46It's completely mounted with silver-topped toilet jars.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- They're silver, are they? - Yeah, they're all silver, Tim.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Check them all out. I've got the date code as well for it.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54It's somewhere around 1880 or thereabouts.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57The quality - you look at the lining
0:28:57 > 0:29:01and that's a really good sign of quality. Magnificent.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Good. Well, it's a fine thing, Charles.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05It wants a bit of restoration, so...how much?
0:29:05 > 0:29:08I can see it making perhaps £200.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Good.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- £195 paid. Catherine found it. She loves her leather work.- Yes.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15And we'll have to hope for the best.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I'm sure, Tim, it'll do well.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- OK, well, cross everything.- Yes.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Next is the silver-mounted glass inkwell. Pretty standard job.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Tim, it's standard, but it's solid.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30It's well-cut, it's of square outline and it's hallmarked Birmingham.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- It's a quite early Edwardian - 103 years old.- Lovely.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35How much?
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Tim, again, I think we'll guide it for the auction between £30 and £50.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- £35 paid.- Fine.- So we're very happy with that.- Good buy, Tim.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Now, 11 pieces of Carlton Ware.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47That's a wodge, isn't it?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Tim, you look at it and it makes you smile.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53You look at it and you harp back to those inter-war years, perhaps.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55It's all fairly standard, but importantly,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59when it comes to Carlton Ware, the majority, Tim, is in good condition.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04- Now, give us your estimate. - Tim, it's a good lot, 1, 2... Yeah, there's 11 pieces there.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07We're going to guide the lot between £30 and £50.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08£5 paid.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10£5, for the whole lot? That's incredible.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11It certainly is.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Anyway, with that lot packing that sort of punch,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16they may not need their bonus buy
0:30:16 > 0:30:18but let's go and have a look at it anyway!
0:30:19 > 0:30:20OK, you terrible twins,
0:30:20 > 0:30:24you gave Catherine £65, what did you spend it on, Catherine?
0:30:24 > 0:30:25OK, chaps...
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Not just a box. - Is there anything in it?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- There is.- Oh!- Aren't they sweet?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Little cocktail sticks, all silver,
0:30:34 > 0:30:38all hallmarked, with little cockerel finials.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- So, how old are they, then? - They're all hallmarked 1937.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45They're nice little things. So, do you think this will make a profit?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- I think so. I paid £48 for them.- OK.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52I think we might get a little bit of profit on them.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- OK.- I think probably £50-£60.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58So are you big drinkers, you boys?
0:30:58 > 0:30:59Not of the cocktail variety
0:30:59 > 0:31:02but I can imagine a pint with on of these just...
0:31:02 > 0:31:05A pint of Guinness with a little cocktail...
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Well, there we are. I think it would make a fantastic gift.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Food for thought, chaps, yes? - Indeed.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13In the meanwhile, for the viewers at home,
0:31:13 > 0:31:17let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Catherine's cocktail sticks.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Here we go then, Carlos. Here's something to feast your eye on.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Well, Tim, they're six fine cockerels, aren't they?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- They certainly are. - They're Birmingham, they're 1937 and again, Tim,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- it's the all-important word, they're a bit novel.- So how much?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Tim, hopefully the cocks will race away and make between £30 and £40.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35£48 paid.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- I think £48 is enough to pay for them.- Yes.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- We'll find out in a minute, won't we, Charles?- We will, Tim.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46It's the filing cabinet - £45!
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- So, Jon, Jode, how are you feeling? - Very nervous and excited.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- It's a funny mixture, isn't it?- Yes.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Have you been to many auctions?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Not a vast amount to be fair. First proper one.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Just look out at this sale room cos there is not a square inch
0:32:01 > 0:32:03that isn't filled with a body, right?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06They're all here to see Charles Hanson sell your lot.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- No pressure here.- None at all.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15Anyway, the first lot up are the Crown Derby Imari dish jobs.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Two pieces, you paid £40 for them.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19This is THE place to sell that stuff.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22And here it comes.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Date code for 1912. Where were you? Well, it was around Titanic times.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30It's a wonderful lot, start me off £20, come on. I'll take 2 now...
0:32:30 > 0:32:322, 5, 8, 30, no more.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34More...
0:32:34 > 0:32:3830, 2, 5, 35, 38, 40. Are you sure?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Go on!- I'll take one more, thank you very much.
0:32:41 > 0:32:46All out to you, sir, at £38, do I see £40 now? Going once...
0:32:46 > 0:32:47- I'll take £40.- Come on.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Selling at £38, going, going, going...
0:32:51 > 0:32:53GAVEL FALLS
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Oh, wow.- He tried his best. - £38 that's minus £2, that is bad luck.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58But still, it's only £2. Don't despair.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00What's £2 between friends, eh?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Exactly. - Now, fairy brooch and your doodad.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07They really are a charming lot. I'm sure you'll agree. Do I see £15?
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Start me off, do I see £15 for these two lovely objects.
0:33:11 > 0:33:1315 but I'll take 18 now, come on!
0:33:13 > 0:33:1515, 18, 20.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18You're in profit, doubled your money, good girl.
0:33:18 > 0:33:215? They're charming. At £20, I'll take 5, one more...5!
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Yes!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25At £25, I'll take 8,
0:33:25 > 0:33:32going once, going twice, I'll take 8 or we sell at £25 all done.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Well done. - Well done, baby, well played.- Ha!
0:33:35 > 0:33:38£15 on that, which means over all you are plus 13.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Now the Victorian needlework picture. Here it comes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45There we are, nice object. I will start this lot with a bid of £45.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- 45...- Do I see 50 now? It really is very nice.
0:33:49 > 0:33:55At £45, 50, 5, 60, 5, 70, 5, 80.
0:33:55 > 0:34:01I'll be out. No, I've got £75, 80 I'll take now. Come on.
0:34:01 > 0:34:0380, new place, 5, 90...
0:34:03 > 0:34:075, 100, 110, 120, 130.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Look at me. And it could be yours, 130?
0:34:11 > 0:34:17You've come so far...130, 140. Are you sure...?
0:34:17 > 0:34:20We are selling, make no mistake, at the far end...
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- 140!- Yes!
0:34:22 > 0:34:25150...160.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Is your 150 OK, give me a nod?
0:34:27 > 0:34:33150, going once, going twice, at £150. Well done, it's yours.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Look at that. That is amazing.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38That is plus %50.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41You had £13 before which means you're plus 63.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Well done, very well done.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45You have £63 profit.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50- Now, you don't really need it, but are you going to have a go at this? - Absolutely 100% going for it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- I love it. - I mean, you're on a roll.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Absolutely, absolutely. - I'm sure this will make a profit.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- I'm sure it will.- I like it. - Yes.- The decision's made then?- 100%.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03We're going with the Liberty-style mirror and here it comes.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Arts and Crafts-style. There we are, a bid here £40 for it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yes.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11I'll take 5 now. 40, I'll take 5 for a Liberty-style mirror.
0:35:11 > 0:35:1745, 55, 65, I've got 75 and out.
0:35:17 > 0:35:195 now, I'll take £80 for it. Come on!
0:35:19 > 0:35:22All out, £80 here.
0:35:22 > 0:35:265, 90, 5. No. £90.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30I'll take 5 now, going once, do I see 5? Going twice, fair warning.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33We say sale at £90.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Yes, we really do...to you, sir.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Yes, we do.- Legend, you're a legend. - We're happy with that.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42That is why the man is the legend that he is.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- He really is...- Quite frankly.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47£30 paid. £90 sale. Profit of £60, I love it.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52Add that to your £63 you had previously, you have £123.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57- Now that is what they call a result, isn't it?- Thank you so much. Perfect.- Brilliant.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- Are you going into this business, you two?- I think so, that's the next thing for us, definitely.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06- I'll quit work tomorrow! - Don't say a word to the Blues cos we don't want to spoil their day.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Carl, Gareth, this is the moment. Feeling shifty at all, were you?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Yes. Feeling a bit apprehensive, actually.- Are you?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22I mean, you're so cool, too aren't you, Gareth?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- You're the cool one in the duo. - Yeah, I guess I am.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Well, you've got this kind of tension because you don't know how the Reds got on, do you?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- No, not a clue. - We don't want you to know.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Your first lot, the Gladstone bag, is coming up now!
0:36:35 > 0:36:39A wonderful late Victorian Greaves leather Gladstone bag,
0:36:39 > 0:36:43full with silver-topped scent bottles, toilet bottles and a toilet jar.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47I will start this lot off with a bid on my book at £100.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Do I see 110, please? At £100 now. Do I see 110? Come on!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55110, 120, 130, I have got 140,
0:36:55 > 0:36:58150 I'm out, I'll take now 160.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00New place, 160. 170.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Look at me.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03LAUGHTER
0:37:03 > 0:37:06160, I'm bid now. 160 I'm bid.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08You're in sir, I'll take 170.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Going once, going twice. - Just one more.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Oh, no!- I'll take 170.- Come on!
0:37:14 > 0:37:19We sell on the second row at £160, going...
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Going... Going... Gone.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Oh dear, minus 35.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28It's not too bad. We can make that back.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Can we?- I think you might. Here comes your inkwell.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Birmingham, 1906, well cut and of a nice weight.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40There it is. It's a hinged lid. Where do we start this inkwell?
0:37:40 > 0:37:44I am only bid £20. I'll take two now, it's silver. Come on.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4720, worth all of that, surely?
0:37:47 > 0:37:492, 5, 3, 8, to Miss Hornblower, you're in.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Five, sir. 38, Miss Hornblower. Sir, 40.
0:37:53 > 0:37:5445!
0:37:55 > 0:37:5945, it's against you now. 45, is that OK?
0:37:59 > 0:38:0345, sir, at the back now. Sir, 50, 55.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Are you sure?
0:38:05 > 0:38:10Fine. 50. I'll take five now, come on. One more do I see?
0:38:10 > 0:38:14Going once, going twice, I've got you at £50.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Well done, Carl. That's plus £15.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21That has reduced your losses to only 20. Minus 20.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Now, the Carlton Ware. Let's claw it back.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26We are the wholesaler
0:38:26 > 0:38:28and here we have a fine collection of Carlton Ware.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Where do we start this lot? Well, I'm looking for £15.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36Start me off, it's worth that. All this, 15, 18, 20.
0:38:36 > 0:38:382, 5, 8, 30.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I'm out.
0:38:40 > 0:38:4330, I'll take two now, for all this Carlton Ware, goodness me.
0:38:43 > 0:38:4830, I'll take two now. Come on. 2, 5, 8. 40.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49- Look, it's going on!- A flurry.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- One more, Sir. I'll take two. - Hanson's on fire!
0:38:53 > 0:38:56£42. 45, 48, 50.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59He is on fire!
0:38:59 > 0:39:02The lady at 50, OK? It's your place at the half century.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07Fair warning, I'll take five now. Going once, going twice. We sell it.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Five, 60, oh, come on! - Going on!- You've come so far.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12I'll take one more for good luck.
0:39:14 > 0:39:1760? 65! But thank you, sir.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20He says, the death, I understand.
0:39:20 > 0:39:2360, I'll take five now. Fair warning, all done.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26The lady, you're in at £60. Going, going, going.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31Is that £60 he sold it for? £60? You only paid a five pound note.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36You jammy lot! You are therefore, plus £55. Yes?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40You were minus 20 before which means you are now...
0:39:40 > 0:39:47Plus £35. You are plus £35. I don't believe this. £35 up.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Are you happy about that? - Absolutely, yeah.- Over the moon.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- What about these cocktail sticks? - I think we should put a fence around this.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Carl, quickly you have to make a decision quick.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- I think we won't go with them. - You're not going to go with the bonus buy?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02No bonus buy. That's your decision. She won't take it personally.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07She doesn't mind one way or the other. You just do your own decision. No bonus buy, yes?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09The decision is made, just in time.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Here it comes, we're going to sell it anyway,
0:40:11 > 0:40:13even though you've decided not to take it.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Just to see what happens.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17These are novel little cock sticks.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Sorry, novel cocktail sticks, there we are!
0:40:21 > 0:40:23LAUGHTER
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Sorry. There we are.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30There we are. They are very, very sweet. They are cocktail sticks.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35There we are. They are novel silver cocktail sticks.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39There we are, they're very nice sticks. They are cased.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43They are Birmingham, 1937, in their black Morocco case.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46I'm only bid here £20. I'll take two for it now.
0:40:46 > 0:40:4820, I'll take two for the cocktail sticks.
0:40:48 > 0:40:522, 5, 8, 30. 2, 5, 8, 40.
0:40:52 > 0:40:5345, 50.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56They're novel, sir. 50 and five.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00- Oh, go on, one more. - Oh, boys, bad luck.
0:41:00 > 0:41:0360. You might, sir, regret it.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0665!
0:41:06 > 0:41:07But thank you.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Hers at £60. Going once. Five!
0:41:10 > 0:41:1270.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Oh, you can't lose it now, sir. One more, I'll take, sir, 70.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20The wife says no. I understand. Fair warning, sir, you're in at £65.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24At the back, at £65, going, going, going, gone to you.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29Is that plus £17? I think it's plus £17.
0:41:29 > 0:41:35Except you decided not to go for them. So, overall, you are plus £35.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37And there is no shame in that, all right?
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Don't say a word to the Reds because all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- Well, this has been fun, hasn't it? Any communication between you?- No!
0:41:50 > 0:41:52No? None at all?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54It'll come as no surprise, then,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58that both teams are going home with folding money.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Unheard of, really, on Bargain Hunt. Well, almost unheard of.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03A stellar day, really.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06It's just a question of the scores and the total.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10And the team that are behind in the winnings...
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Are the Blues.- Oh, no!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Yes.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18You guys have lost by only managing to win £35, which is
0:42:18 > 0:42:20a real turnaround for us, actually.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24£35, how about that? Pretty good, isn't it?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27It started out so badly with the Gladstone bag.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30You looked as if you were never going to make anything at all
0:42:30 > 0:42:32but you clawed it back consistently from that moment,
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- which is great, isn't it? I hope you had a nice time.- Yes. - We've loved having you.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39But the victors today are going home with £123.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Thank you very much.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44If you say that quickly, it doesn't sound very much
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- but £123 is a pretty good sum, I have to say.- Thank you!
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Largely made up by the huge profits contributed by the Liberty's mirror.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56Bought for 30 and sold for 90, that's a very good result, Mark.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- All round, it was marvellous, wasn't it?- Yes.- Did all right. - Are you happy?- Very.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Anyway, you've been great contestants.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04We've loved having you on the show.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes? Yes!
0:43:07 > 0:43:09I know, you're sitting there thinking,
0:43:09 > 0:43:11"I could have done better than that!"
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:14 > 0:43:18If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20It'll be splendid to see you.
