0:00:09 > 0:00:13Today, we've swapped pounds for dollars, Australian dollars,
0:00:13 > 0:00:15because we're in Sydney.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18So, let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:38 > 0:00:42MUSIC: "South Australia"
0:00:46 > 0:00:48G'day!
0:00:48 > 0:00:53We've travelled round the globe to Sydney, the largest city Down Under.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55But I'm not here for the sun and surf,
0:00:55 > 0:00:59I'm here on the hunt for Aussie bargains.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Well, we've changed countries, but we haven't changed the rules.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Each team still gets £300, so that's 500 Australian dollars,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09and an hour to buy three items.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Shall we have a sneak preview as to how they got on?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Our host today is the Sydney Antiques Centre,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24two huge floors cram-packed with Australiana and old-world antiques
0:01:24 > 0:01:28for our Aussie bargain-hunting teams to explore.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The Reds start off in smashing style.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36ITEM CLATTERS
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Panic, panic. It's a team effort now.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And it's hats off to the Blues.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46That is stunning. That is stunning. You look like some movie star.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50But who will come out on top with their items when they go to auction?
0:01:50 > 0:01:51- Go on, go, go.- Well done.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Yes!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Welcome to a very special edition of Bargain Hunt.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07For the Reds, we've got husband and wife Narelle and Mark,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and for the Blues, we've got Ian and Beck, who are just good friends.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Now, Narelle. You've been married for 15 years?- That's correct.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17And it don't seem a day too long, right? Is that right?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- That's right, yes. - And how did you two meet?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21We met through friends.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Mark was sitting at one end of the table and I was at the other,
0:02:24 > 0:02:25and I liked the look of him,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28so I thought I'd better move to where he was sitting,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30and ten months later, we were married.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So, was it before the dessert course that you moved up?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Did you allow him to have the main course alone
0:02:35 > 0:02:36and then you nabbed him?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I think I moved before the entree. - Did you?- Oh, yeah.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42You're a fast worker, then, girl, aren't you?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now, you live in Sydney, but you've got a very responsible job.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Tell me about that. - I do, I work for corrective services
0:02:48 > 0:02:50and I do all the paperwork for inmate transfers.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53We'd better, for the UK audience,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56define exactly what corrective services are.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- The jails.- The jails?- The Department of Corrective Services.- Oh, right.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, is it true then, Mark,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05that you saw Narelle having such a great time in her job
0:03:05 > 0:03:06that you decided to join her?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You probably could say that. I was in the corporate world before.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'd had enough of the corporate marketing world
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and decided to go for something completely left-field.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Yeah? Finished up in prison too? - Yep, finished up in prison.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Been a prison officer for ten years, now.- Have you?- Yeah.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24And what's the best part of the job?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Uh...the money?- Is it? Oh, good.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29That's perfectly honest, then, isn't it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Brilliant. Anyway, very good luck.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Now, for the Blues. Ian, tell me how you two met.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Um, I met Beck about 10 years ago,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40and that's when I came across from Auckland in New Zealand to...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- So you're not an Aussie, then? - Well, I am now.- Oh, you are now.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- I became and Aussie in 2007 but, you know, a Kiwi as well.- Yes.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51So, you're well prepped for this Bargain Hunt deal
0:03:51 > 0:03:53that we've got in front of us today, yes, Beck?
0:03:53 > 0:03:59Yes, I think so. My life has been surrounded by antiques and art, so...
0:03:59 > 0:04:00What, from your parents?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Yes, yep. They were very passionate about collecting things.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yes? What sort of things?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Um...marbles, pie funnels, pudding dolls.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- They're serious. - Their house is like a phone box.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16They keep bringing more stuff, and the house is just getting smaller.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- They're not antique dealers? - No, but they should get involved.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22They've got enough stock to have a shop, yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Ian, you're a bit of an adrenalin junkie, tell us a bit about that.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I love it. I did my first bungee jump at 12 with my family in Taupo
0:04:29 > 0:04:33in New Zealand and ever since that moment, I've just got the bug.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Don't you worry when you jump off on that rubber band
0:04:35 > 0:04:36that it might break?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40That's the whole thrill of it. You know, adds more flavour to it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Anyway, what is your strategy between you?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44What are you going to go for today?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Well, I like the low-spend strategy,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48but we're in a very challenging venue.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Yes. You think it's going to be pricey today?- I have a feeling, yes.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55OK, well, that leads us perfectly neatly to the money moment.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Here are your A500
0:04:57 > 0:05:00to trot off with, all right?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05and very, very good luck!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What is going to happen with our cobbers today?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Well, I don't know. But they're going to need some expert help,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13so we've brought two of our best.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Paul Laidlaw's mucking in with the Reds.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20David Barby's lending a hand to the Blues.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Oh, wait a minute. So you don't bring a second.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29LAUGHTER
0:05:30 > 0:05:35So, everyone's in high spirits. Let's get this Aussie shop underway.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Ooh, ooh, we're on the clock.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Right, let's go and have a look at this stand over here.- OK.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46Spoilt for choice, which is good! You're the bosses.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49They may be the bosses, but you're the experts.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I hope you and David have done your research
0:05:51 > 0:05:53into what sells well Down Under.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56So, how do you know this is Australian?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I think it's got the classic glaze
0:06:00 > 0:06:05and the matte, and it sings landscape,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07which is very Australian.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Cos I see sunspots in it. - Definitely. I see trees.- Yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Nice eucalyptus up here, just beautiful.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17The Olgas and the outback, I think it's just really beautiful.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- It's very heavy. - A little koala in the bottom corner.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Look really closely. - You have such a vivid imagination.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You are a dreamer.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well, I think this is what you look at a piece of art pottery.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30You explore it and you use your own imagination.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Just let's turn it over and explore it a little bit more, if we can.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Ooh, gosh, that is heavy! - The muscle man! Come on!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Show us your muscles. - Looks better on this side, actually.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Oh, it's stunning. - Well, what I like is the fact
0:06:42 > 0:06:44that you can see it's been turned on the wheel.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And that's where it's been cut off the wheel,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50that small blobule of clay, there.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- I like this. What's it say there? - I don't know. It is a signature.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Robinson.- Robinson, and it's, what, 85?- 85.- You have si... Ooh.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Gosh, it's heavy, isn't it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04You have a similar type of pottery in England as well,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but I think this is very striking.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Let's see where the owner of this stand is.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Could we just chat about this particular pot?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- What's the price on this, please?- 80.- 80?- Mm-hm.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Is that the very, very best you can do?- Um...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I can go down a little bit. 60?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Come on, help me out here. - I don't know, I don't know.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Is that really the very best you can do?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- I wonder where he's got that from. - I'm thinking...
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- I'm thinking, maybe, 40. I don't know.- Deal.- Yeah? Oh!
0:07:39 > 0:07:44That's too eager, we might have got it for 20!
0:07:44 > 0:07:49Well done, Blues. Let's hope the rest of your shop is as easy.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Narelle and Mark, how are you getting on?
0:07:54 > 0:08:02- So, we're on a mission to make some dollars.- Serious coin, yep.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- How are we going to do that? - Open mind. Just...- Open mind.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Just see something that looks all right, just grab it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Liking your style. That so works for me, because we've...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- What does that mean? We've no blinkers on, have we?- Nope.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Yes, but no direction either, Paul. - What've we got...
0:08:19 > 0:08:23She'll probably spot something first.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Reds, it all seems a bit relaxed to me.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28What about this?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I think that's nice. So what period is that? That Audrey Hepburn type.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- Yeah, it is. It's...'50s? - And that would fit you, wouldn't it?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Well, I don't know. My waist size doesn't fit with the '50s waist.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Does it not? - I've tried so many '50s dresses.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- Because after the war, after the war, people were on ration.- Yes.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- It's true. It was the healthiest type for them.- I'm not. I'm on...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- And they were very, sort of, stick-like.- ..good living.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Shall we not go into that, please.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Let's have a look at the hats, since you're so keen on the hats.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02That's right, David. Move on, boy.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- What do you feel, Narelle? - Nothing yet.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- We'll find something.- Just looking...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18looking...
0:09:18 > 0:09:22It's all very well looking, looking.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25You need to start buying, buying!
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Looking...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29looking...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Hmm...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Ooh! Book ends!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Oh, no. Cats. - Oh, they're cats, they're cats. Oh!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- ITEM CLATTERS - Panic, panic.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's a team effort now.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's a pincer action.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Oh dear, oh dear. Pull yourselves together, Reds.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- I think that's lovely on you. - It's lovely, isn't it?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Uh, it's your colour. - It brings out your eyes.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Mmm. Big eyes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Would you like to try? - No, I would not!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06You know, us Aussies, we love to dress up.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07No kidding.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Oh, that looks good.- Yeah. - That looks good.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- No, you look like one of the Diddy Men.- Coneheads.- Coneheads.- Yeah.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- That's... You can't tell the difference.- No.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- It does look like a toupee, doesn't it?- It just blends.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26You actually remind me of my mother.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34let's have a look. That is stunning. That is stunning.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You look like some movie star.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- And that little bling-bling BH.- Yes.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Some nice ties in there.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I've got to be honest with you, Narelle, this is a boy's toy.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55What are we looking at? A little desk ornament,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58and I'm going to be honest with you, this is tourist fodder.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01This was a tourist piece, probably bought in France,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04possibly during the First World War, but as likely in the '20s
0:11:04 > 0:11:10when there was a lot of touring of the Flanders and French battlefields.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Does this little ammunition box do anything? It carried...
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- What do you think went in there? - Ink.- Ink.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Absolutely. There you have, we know for sure, it's an inkstand dish.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Um... Given that, I said earlier on, it's tourist fodder -
0:11:25 > 0:11:28it's not fine art, it's nothing spectacular -
0:11:28 > 0:11:33does it have a fine art price or does it have a price commensurate
0:11:33 > 0:11:36with its humble origins? And I would need this to be...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38A very humble price.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- ..a double-digit price, yeah. - Ooh. Could we go to a hundred?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Look, can I just be really cheeky?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Maybe we can leave open this and see if we add to it,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and then, all of a sudden, things start to work for both of us?
0:11:51 > 0:11:52- That would be fine.- Right, OK.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I'll give you that back. Don't put it back in the cabinet,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58let's hope it goes that way, and let's see what else we find?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Yep.- OK.- Good lad.- Excellent. Happy hunting!- Thank you!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Well, I suppose that's some sort of progress.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Blues. What have you found, now?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- I just want to know why on earth you like these?- Me, too.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17They're just...hideously ugly but stunning. I've got the wrong one.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- OK. Here... I better not... I'll try not to speak.- Speak no evil.- Yes.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Hear no evil.- And then see no evil.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- I think they're appropriate for the three of us.- Do you think so?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Well, they were made yesterday. - Were they?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Taiwan or somewhere like that. Far East.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Let's not risk it.- No.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Well done, Barby. Reds, have you made a decision on the inkstand yet?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Do you want to take the reins? Do you want to try and...?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Narelle, are you comfy?- Cool, I'll try it.- Yeah, off you go.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Yeah? Do think we should try and buy it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Good luck, my man, yeah? We'll just mill.- Yep.- Yeah.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Right, Mark. Go in all guns blazing, mate.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- No word of a lie, I do like that.- OK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13But I don't want to pay any more than 75.
0:13:13 > 0:13:20- Wow. That is blazing. - I'll see what I can do for you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Right, now...finish her off.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It's our first item we're buying.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32- All right.- All right? 75?- 75. - Done deal. Excellent. Done deal.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- You're up and running. - First item bought.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Yes.- Yay!- First one bought. - Feeling good.- Well done.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Excellent. Each team is neck and neck,
0:13:41 > 0:13:45and now it's my chance to check out what's on offer.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50There you go, look. Twinkling Eyes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54But what's inside? Something to do with twinkling eyes, methinks.
0:13:54 > 0:14:00And, yes. Inside the box, we have got a pair of specs.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Now, if there's one question
0:14:02 > 0:14:06that I am asked more often than any other question, it's,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09"Tim, how many pairs of spectacles have you got?"
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And the classic reply to that is, "Quite a few."
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Well, I've just acquired another pair of spectacles.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17What do you think about these babies?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Aren't they fun? This thing was simply a toy
0:14:21 > 0:14:26made for children in the 1940s or early 1950s,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29but what I like about these things is that they're such fun.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35Now, are you getting the winky-eye method?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Is that fun or is it fun?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I think they're great.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45What will they cost you? Here in Australia, 22 dollars.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51Multiply by 6. That's about £12. What might they be worth?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Look it up on the internet
0:14:53 > 0:14:59and you'll find that some pairs can make 20 more.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04So, there's not a lot of profit in it but a lot of fun!
0:15:11 > 0:15:16You said you liked sailing ships.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Wow, a lantern. Isn't that great?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- David, that's fantastic. - Do you like that?- Yeah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29- That's moulded glass.- And look at the fish on the bottom. I do like that.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34I can see that in one of those houses with a wrought-iron balconies at the front.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- Yes.- Nice spotting. - David, what are we looking at?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Well, we are looking at the lantern. It's 169.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48- What's the very best you could do on that?- We could make that 120.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- I'd like it tucked under 100.- Oh!
0:15:50 > 0:15:56- Please!- Starting with 99.- It ought to be around 80.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Please?- 90.- 80. 90. 85.
0:15:59 > 0:16:05- All right, 85!- 85! I think that's good.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- 58?- No!
0:16:08 > 0:16:13- You're very good at this!- 85! - And cheeky!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Excellent! Item number two.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Whilst you're doing that, could we have a look in the far cabinet?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Of course. - There's a pair of earrings.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Oh! And a third may not be far away.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Two thirds of the shopping is done. - Anything you see, woman?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Reds, is that the scent of panic in the air?
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I don't know. It's too much.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I'm worried about the time - we're dawdling. Dawdling!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- You find something. You lead the way.- I'm trying.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- You've lost your marbles? - No, one's missing!
0:16:51 > 0:16:56We're looking at the solitaire set, are we?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00There needs to be one missing, because...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Because! LAUGHTER
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Kind of a frustrating game.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So, look,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10we know what we've got.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I'm going to cut straight to the chase here.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The prices are frightening me, as is your mania
0:17:16 > 0:17:19for breaking the place up!
0:17:19 > 0:17:22LAUGHTER
0:17:22 > 0:17:25180, £120!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Worth £120, you know. The marble collectors like them.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I don't see rare glass marbles.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34But I do like...
0:17:34 > 0:17:39You see all these little marks of age here? All these cracks.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43I think it's a 120-140 year old. I think it could easily be.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- Right, the clock's ticking. Do we send the missionary off here? - Yep, and we'll go cruising.
0:17:48 > 0:17:54And we'll keep looking. And we want to pay £40 or £60.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58If you can get down to that, I think it's worth a punt. See what you can do.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01We'll fall for your mission.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05You've got to take the reins sometimes.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Well, someone needs to, because the Blues are nearing the finish.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- I think those are stunning. - They need a bit of shine to them.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19- What about the backing?- I think the backing's OK. Sterling standard.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24It's got that bit of gold colouring.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I like the fact it's got the amethyst-type stone.
0:18:28 > 0:18:35Right, let me go and find the dealer and come back. Do you like those?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Yes. Do you like these?- I do. I think they're cute.
0:18:38 > 0:18:44- Do you think that would have an appeal in an auction? - Hold on to that, please.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- I feel comfortable in 60.- 60? That's less than half price!
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Yes, we are looking for a bargain. - You sure are.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Erm... - It's cold cash.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05It could be sitting there for another month or two.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Probably could be. OK, I'll do 60.
0:19:08 > 0:19:1160? Cool, sweet. Deal done.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- OK.- Thank you.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Crikey, Mark, you Aussies are amazing hagglers.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- How did you go? What did you get it for?- 60.- Well done.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Get in!
0:19:22 > 0:19:23LAUGHTER
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- Is there a dead body round there? - Yeah! Got it for 60.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Well done.- I've got a good feeling about this!
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- Get in!- Your turn next. - I'm not negotiating!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Now, Reds, don't count your chickens.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44You're into the final minutes and you still need to find another item.
0:19:44 > 0:19:51I have Don here, and he says 45 on the silver earrings.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Is it 45 and an even hundred for the lamp as well?
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Ian, you cunning monkey!
0:19:56 > 0:20:02- 100 for the two would be really... - We'll do 100 for the two.- All right!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We'll do the lamp for 60 and the earrings for 40.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Excellent.- Excellent. Good man!
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Cracking finish, Ian.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15That's another 25 off the lamp. Reds, are you panicking yet?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Quickly, folks, four minutes, three minutes, I don't know.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Those glasses that you spotted.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- What about this?- What, what, what?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- She's off in the wrong direction. - Oh, no, it's 245!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Just pick something, Narelle. - I don't know!
0:20:33 > 0:20:38This is typically Finnish. You can still buy good glass like this.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41There's nothing to suggest... It could be...
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Oh, there's another...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Sorry, sorry, sorry.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50There's a wee imperfection. There's nothing...
0:20:50 > 0:20:54The could be 1960s, but they could be 2010 as well.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59That can be a problem. 20th century is such a problem in that respect.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01How much were they going to be?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04We can do those ones for...
0:21:04 > 0:21:08You could give us a gift price given there is five and a chipped one.
0:21:08 > 0:21:1040.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12We'll do them.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Unless... With that chip, about 30?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- 30?- 30 with the chip, done.- Done. - What did we buy?!
0:21:20 > 0:21:21LAUGHTER
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Thanks!
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Well, time's flown by.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Mark and Narelle certainly have taken it to the wire, and time's up!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Now, what did they settle on in the end?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45The boys agreed the novelty inkwell was worth a shot at 75.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49If anything, I feel I steered that, it is my penchant, but at least
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I knew Mark was going to like it,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54and Narelle, I think she saw the sense in the purchase, so get in.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58The mahogany solitaire set became item number two.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- 30.- 30 with a chip.- Done. - What did we buy?!
0:22:02 > 0:22:07And for the finish, they panic-bought six Finnish glasses.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12I'd like 335, please. 335, yes? That's very nice.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15That goes straight across to the Laidlaw.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16There you go, Paul.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Have you any idea what you are going to spend your 335 on?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Um...no!
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Tim, have no idea where I am or what time of day it is.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Well, we will know that feeling. But knowing you,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32you'll truffle around and come up with something lovely.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Anyway, go and have a cup of tea and good luck, Paul, with your search.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blues bought?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42The Australian charger got them going for 40.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45You imagine that on a low level sideboard from the '50s or '60s,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49on a stand, it will look stunning. A good piece of artwork.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Then Ian negotiated hard
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and eventually got the 1930s lamp for 60.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57And they finally walked off
0:22:57 > 0:23:01with a pair of 1980s sterling silver earrings.
0:23:01 > 0:23:0340, that was a ridiculous price to pay.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Sterling silver 40, they will make a profit.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I think they might end up with...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11a golden pin.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Steady on, Barby, don't let yourself get too carried away, boy.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- I want 360, please. Thank you very much.- Count it.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Don't worry, I trust him. Millions wouldn't, but I do.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31- £360 with your own personal challenge.- Yes.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Have you seen anything you might pounce on?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Yes, it's got to be bling, bling, bling.- Has it?- Yes.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- And cheap, cheap, cheap.- Absolutely. - For you!
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Anyway, good luck, guys.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Good luck, David. Meanwhile, I'm heading off to Government House.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47How grand can you be?
0:23:49 > 0:23:55Government House sits within the Botanic Gardens in the heart of the city.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01It's 1834.
0:24:01 > 0:24:08You're the governor of a fledgling colony 10,500 miles from home
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and you want to put your colony on the map.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12What do you do?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Well, you commission architect Edward Blore,
0:24:16 > 0:24:21architect to King William IV, to design you a house.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Not some ordinary house, though -
0:24:25 > 0:24:29this house! Government House!
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Oh, yes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Conceived here in Australia, designed in England
0:24:36 > 0:24:38and built using local materials,
0:24:38 > 0:24:44this Government House superseded two predecessors.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Captain Arthur Phillip first erected a canvas and timber structure
0:24:47 > 0:24:50when he landed in January 1788,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54but he quickly replaced this with a two-storey brick building
0:24:54 > 0:24:55later that year.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00It became the first Government House of the new colony.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03But after nearly 50 years, they wanted something grander.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09New Government House was designed to send a message across the globe
0:25:09 > 0:25:14as to how far Sydney Cove had come in the 50 years
0:25:14 > 0:25:17since the arrival of the First Fleet.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Sydney was now most definitely on the map.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Wow!
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Just look at this! It is grand, isn't it?
0:25:33 > 0:25:39It very much has the feel, to me, of that Scottish gothic baronial.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The plans arrived in 1834-5.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Works started pretty soon after that and went on for a decade
0:25:47 > 0:25:49until the mid 1840s.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51And the cost?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Well, it was astronomic.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Some £46,000 and that was without the furnishings.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09One of the obvious furnishings from the period in this,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12the drawing room, is the gasolier.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18In the 1850s, this was connected to Sydney's main gas supply,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21and each of those globes would have had within it
0:26:21 > 0:26:26an incandescent mantle that would have illuminated the room
0:26:26 > 0:26:31for grand receptions with a hard, white light.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Out of the furnishings in this room that date from the 1840s,
0:26:35 > 0:26:41Governor George Gipps commissioned a suite of handsome rosewood furniture,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45and this looks very typically high Victorian.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50But there are one or two tell-tales that tell you that this table
0:26:50 > 0:26:52comes from the Antipodes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57The timber is not much help, because this is Brazilian rosewood.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00But it has been most beautifully veneered
0:27:00 > 0:27:04and applied to the carcass, so that it shows off the lovely
0:27:04 > 0:27:10black styrations on this gorgeous, almost red-brown colour.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13The drawer itself is concealed within the frieze,
0:27:13 > 0:27:14and if I take it out,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18you can see that the lining is in an unusual timber.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20If this had been made in Europe,
0:27:20 > 0:27:25it undoubtedly would have been in oak, if it was a top quality piece,
0:27:25 > 0:27:30or in deal or pine for a junior quality piece.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33But this is in Australian cedar.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37But the true giveaway is this label inside.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Now, this is a very nice thing to find,
0:27:39 > 0:27:44because it absolutely identifies the maker, Andrew Lenehan,
0:27:44 > 0:27:48who was an Irishman who came to work here in Sydney
0:27:48 > 0:27:51between about 1830 and 1860.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56I love these labels for all the information that they give you,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00because not only did this man make exquisite pieces of furniture,
0:28:00 > 0:28:05he also supplied hair mattresses, feather pillows and floor cloths.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10And also, here, it says, "Sprung vans on hire."
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Special suspension so your goods wouldn't be damaged
0:28:13 > 0:28:17in the pot holes in the Sydney streets.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The big question today is, of course,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21over in Lawsons Auctions in Sydney,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24are our teams going to have a bumpy ride?
0:28:24 > 0:28:27That depends on whether our experts have done their homework
0:28:27 > 0:28:30on what sells well Down Under.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32We've headed across town to Annandale
0:28:32 > 0:28:34where auctioneer Martin Farrar
0:28:34 > 0:28:36awaits us at Lawsons Auctions.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Martin, good morning. - Good morning and welcome.- Thank you.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43First up for Narelle and Mark
0:28:43 > 0:28:46is this machine gun in gilt spelter,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48which is a bit of a wacky one, isn't it?
0:28:48 > 0:28:52It is very wacky. I would classify it as deskenalia.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55I don't know if that is a proper word, but we use it here.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56We made it up ourselves.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59I'll have to take that one home, because I've never heard of it!
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Deskenalia, that's brilliant!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- What sort of estimate would you put on that?- 40-60.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Is that all?- Mm.
0:29:07 > 0:29:0975 paid.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Well, you never know. These things can come good, can't they?
0:29:13 > 0:29:18- They can indeed.- Moving on, then, it's the little solitaire board.- Mm.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21The big question is, have you lost any of your marbles?
0:29:21 > 0:29:22No, but we have here.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Yes. What you'd like is a matching set of marbles, right?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28That would be beneficial.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30And you'd like Victorian marbles to go on the board.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Exactly. - And if you had all of that,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36you might be boosting up the price a bit.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40You might. I've, er...I suggest 20-40.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Really? They paid 60.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46This is two not looking so happy.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48And I regret to say, we've had a bit of a disaster
0:29:48 > 0:29:51in the transportation department,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54carting these glasses across the city.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Because once upon a time, they bought six of these babies.- Ah!
0:29:57 > 0:30:00And one, I'm afraid, is no longer with us.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04So the only way I can sort this out fairly for the team
0:30:04 > 0:30:08is to ask you, what would this set of glasses
0:30:08 > 0:30:11be likely to bring at the auction
0:30:11 > 0:30:14if it was complete and a set of six?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I think 80-100, 100-120.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20OK. So if we took the mid point there
0:30:20 > 0:30:25- and called it 100 as an estimate for the six perfect...- Yeah.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28We've got five, what are they going to bring, do you think?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- I think 50-80.- Right.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36We are 50 light by virtue of losing one of the set.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40We will have to compensate our contestants
0:30:40 > 0:30:42to the tune of 50.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44It looks as if they may not need the bonus buy,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46but let's go have a look at it, anyway.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51You spent 165,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53you gave the man 335.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Paul, what did you spend it on?
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- Well, we were looking for good glass to suit your taste.- We were.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Does that do anything for you?- Yeah.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Heavy, solid, fancy.- It is.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09And more than that, it's got a name. Whitefriars.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Perhaps THE name in English glassmaking in the 20th century.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17This piece here, circa late '40s.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Designed by one of the greats
0:31:20 > 0:31:23within Whitefriars in the 20th century, James Hogan.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27And for my money, I think it's timeless.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- It looks good.- Can I sell it to you?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- Yep. How much did you pay for it? - The nitty-gritty.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- 40.- Well done.- Wow! Excellent!
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- We're on to a winner here.- I hope so. - Definitely on to a winner.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Anyway, there we go. Thank you very much, Paul.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46He rates it, you saw his lips, but for the audience at home,
0:31:46 > 0:31:51let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's glass vase.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- That's a lump.- It's a heavy piece.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Well, it's mid 20th-century design and it's very popular at the moment.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Whitefriars. English. It must be good.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02That's what you say to all the visitors!
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- Now, what's your estimate on that? - I think 30-50.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11Well, Paul paid 40, so that's a modest, in-the-middle piece.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16And who knows, he might make a small profit, which would be lovely.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25And they kick on with this monster of a charger.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Does that float your boat?- Not yet.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- Sink your boat?- It's growing on me.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35I mean, it's got kind of like spinach, drizzles of spinach,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38over a kind of custard splodge.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42It's an interpretation of an Australian landscape.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Is it?- I haven't been there, but...
0:32:44 > 0:32:46OK, then, Martin, how much?
0:32:46 > 0:32:4860-80.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Really? 40 is all they paid.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55That's a miracle. That's a very nice start. Thank you very much.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58What about this so-called nautical lantern. Have you got any age?
0:32:58 > 0:33:021930s is what we've been told.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04But nautical is popular in Sydney.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06With your marvellous harbour, yes, of course.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09How much do you think it's worth?
0:33:09 > 0:33:1130-50.
0:33:11 > 0:33:1360 they paid.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17So what they've perhaps gained on the Australian landscape,
0:33:17 > 0:33:21they're about to lose on the nautical lamp,
0:33:21 > 0:33:24which leaves them with these earrings.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- They're quite chunky.- Mm.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Not to everybody's taste, but there we go.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Contemporary-looking, anyway. So, how much?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- 20-30.- 40.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38We've got one or two problems. I think they'll need their bonus buy.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Let us go and have a look at it!
0:33:42 > 0:33:46360 worth went to David. What did you spend it on?
0:33:46 > 0:33:50I didn't spend the whole lot, but I wanted to buy something Chinese.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54So I bought this rather attractive bowl.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Now, the mark on the back is from the Ming dynasty.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01But I don't think this is a Ming piece. This is later.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04So we're looking at 19th, 20th century for this piece.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Apparently, there's a great demand for Chinese ceramics.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Whether there's going to be a great demand for this particular piece,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15because I paid 225 for it, I don't know.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19But I think I got somewhat carried away at the Sydney Antiques Centre,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21where there are some wonderful Oriental ceramics.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24How much do you think it would make?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Gosh, it all depends on the day, doesn't it?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30And who's going to buy Chinese ceramics at that particular sale.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33You have to decide, depending on where you are at that moment.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Well, fingers crossed, we'll be very ahead.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- You'll have so much profit, you may not even need to sniff it.- Yes.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Anyway, for the audience at home,
0:34:41 > 0:34:45let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's Chinese bowl.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Heavy, isn't it?- It is, it is.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51It's got the Ming mark on the back.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55And it's certainly not Ming. I can tell you that straightaway.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59But these things are very popular. The reproduction market is very strong.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03So if you had to have a guess at it, even though it's not very old
0:35:03 > 0:35:06but is nevertheless decorative, how much do you think?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09I'll be very conservative and say 80-120.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Oh, right. That's very conservative.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14So, there is some hope for David,
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- with his purchase price of 225. - Absolutely.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- He might get there.- He might.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- Are you taking the sale today? - I am indeed.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24We're in safe hands.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30We have a problem with the glasses.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You started off with six of these glasses,
0:35:33 > 0:35:36and our carrier has managed rather brilliantly
0:35:36 > 0:35:39to smash one of them, so now you're down to five.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Now, forget the fact you paid only 30.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45We are 50 light in the auctioneer's opinion
0:35:45 > 0:35:48and will top up whatever you get by 50.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- OK.- The first lot up
0:35:50 > 0:35:55is your World War I machine gun emplacement inkwell.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57And here it comes.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02I must start the bidding here with me at 20, 30, 40. At 40. 50.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0460. 70, 80.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- 90.- You're in profit. - 100. 100, 110.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10120. 130.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15- 140, the bid. 150, the bid now. - Look at this!
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- You've doubled your money, mate! - The bid is here with madam at 150.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21At 150, I will sell.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26150. That is plus 75. Well done, lads.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Next up is the solitaire set, here we go.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Bidding starts with me at 20, 30 only, the bid. 30.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Plenty of room left in that one, 30 the bid now. At 30, the bid.
0:36:36 > 0:36:3840, the bid. 50.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- Good girl!- Madam's bid at 50. 60, the bid.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47All done at 60, are you sure, you done? And...
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Yes, wiped its face. Lovely. Smashing job.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Now...the glasses, the fated glasses.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Here they come, all five of them.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Nice little set, I've got an interesting bid to start me away.
0:36:59 > 0:37:0427.5, which I'll raise up to 30. At 30, the bid, 30, the bid, now.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- At 30, bid only. Where do we go now? 30 bid.- Come on!
0:37:08 > 0:37:11At 30. At 30. All done?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- All finished at 30? - Tenner! Come on!
0:37:14 > 0:37:16You got your 30.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18So, technically, you wiped your face,
0:37:18 > 0:37:20but you've got your credit of 50 for that,
0:37:20 > 0:37:25because we know that he would have done better if he'd got the six.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30So you've got plus 50 there, you are plus 125 without a cough.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Now, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- We're going with the bonus buy. - What do you mean?!
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- We're going with it.- It would be an insult to the man not to take it.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- He doesn't mind being insulted, do you, Paul?- All the time!
0:37:43 > 0:37:45He gets insulted and abused all the time.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47They are so gentlemanly here in Australia.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Here comes the Whitefriars. - I'll start the bidding on this one.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54At a very respectable 20 only, at 20 the bid.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58At 20, 30, 40 on my absentee. 40, the bid. No money at all.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Come on! It's cheap! - No, all done.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04At 40, any further bidding? Any more?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Bad luck, Paul. No shame. No pain.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Anyway, overall, you are plus 125.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15The next thing is, don't say a thing to the Blues. Not a word, zip it.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- Yep.- Lovely.- OK, cool!
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- So how are you feeling, then, Becks! - Oh, I'm not sure, yet.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29We're just going to have to wait and see.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- What do you mean, you're not sure? You were so confident!- I know!
0:38:33 > 0:38:34- So bullish!- I know, I know!
0:38:34 > 0:38:38First up is the thumping great charger, and here it comes.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43Who's got 50 for it? 50 I bid to start, 50 now bid.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- At 50, the bid, only. 60?- 60! - Very much just warming up here.
0:38:47 > 0:38:4970 the bid, at 70.
0:38:49 > 0:38:5380, 80 the bid. 90 the bid, new bidder at 90. 90.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57At 90. At 90, all done, then?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Last chance, madam, at 90? At 90?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- Come on, one more bid. - One more bid. 100, the bid.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- 100.- Yes!
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- At 110. 120, here we go, 120 the bid.- Dear, oh dear!
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Yes!- 130. 140, the bid. 150.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14160. 170.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Come on, come on!- At 170. - It's worth more than that.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22At 170, any more? 170 is there. Quickly, 180 the bid.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Yes!- 200. 200.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Has he got 200?- 200, the bid.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31At 200, any further bidding now? Are we done at 200?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Done? Sure? Congratulations.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Is that 200? Woo-hoo!
0:39:36 > 0:39:39OK, that's 200, that's very nice. Plus 160.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Dear, oh dear! Now, here comes the lantern.
0:39:43 > 0:39:4630 to start me away. 30, the bid.
0:39:46 > 0:39:5040, the bid. At 40, now 50. Another one? No? 50, the bid.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Who else? 60, I'm bid now.- 60!
0:39:53 > 0:39:57At 60. At 60. At the back, 60, the bid.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00At 60? Are you sure?
0:40:01 > 0:40:05- And sold.- There we go, look. Wiped its face. We can't be greedy.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Yes, yes.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Sterling silver and garnet pair of triangular earrings,
0:40:10 > 0:40:12lot 26 in your catalogue, 100 for the pair.
0:40:12 > 0:40:1450 for the pair, I bid.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19I am bid 50 for the pair, off we go. 60. At 60.
0:40:19 > 0:40:2270, the bid. At 70, 80 the bid, now. Quickly.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25At 80, anyone else? At 80.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- 90, the bid.- 90!- Oh, wow!
0:40:29 > 0:40:3290. At 90. All done?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- Finish at 90.- Look at that!
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- Whoo!- Plus 50. That is plus 50. - We're not going with the bonus buy!
0:40:38 > 0:40:43- Now, listen, girls and boys. We have plus 210 here.- How much?
0:40:43 > 0:40:48210. 210 up. What are you going to do about the old Ming job?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51I think we're just going to leave it to Ming over there.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- It might be a bit minging!- Minging? Where did you pick that up from?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- It's Aussie slang. - Don't worry, it's slang for us too.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01I thought you said minging! That's rather clever on a Ming bowl.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Let's leave it to Ming over there.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- Really?- I think so.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10But we're going to sell the Ming vase whether it's minging or not.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- Here it comes.- Plenty of interest in this, 110, 120, 130, 140 I bid.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17At 140, the absentee starts, 150, 160. 160 here.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21160. 170, 180 the bid there.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24190, 200. 200 with the absentee.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27At 200 I wait now, 220 the bid.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Lost my bid, at 220, it's on the floor.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Any further bidding now? 220.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- It's done, 220. - You made the right decision.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39I know, it's great fun, though, isn't it?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- Well done, David Barby. Well spotted.- Beautiful bowl.
0:41:42 > 0:41:47220, it's minus 5. You've made the right decision.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- 210, but don't say a word to the Reds, all right?- Poker face.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- Good luck!- Thank you.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01Well, both teams know that they've made substantial profits.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03CHEERING
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- Well done.- But which team is ahead?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10We can only have one winner and we can only have one runner-up,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14and the runners-up today are...
0:42:14 > 0:42:15the Reds.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16THEY CHEER
0:42:16 > 0:42:19LAUGHTER
0:42:19 > 0:42:21What a dirty shame.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26Plus 125 is really super. Are you happy with that?
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Excellent. - 125 going safely to Narelle.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- There you go, darling.- Thank you.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Don't forget to share it with the old man, will you?- OK!
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- Have you had a nice time? - Yeah, we've had a great time.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40We've loved having you on the programme.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44But the winners today who win by a substantial margin,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46that is plus 210.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Thank you!- 210, I tell you!
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- 210 is a substantial wodge, isn't it?- Yes.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- Are you pleased about that? - Absolutely.- Very, very impressed.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- You're impressed with yourself?- Yes!
0:42:58 > 0:43:03- And modest with it! No, a fantastic outing.- All Aussies are!
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And I do congratulate you.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07I congratulate both teams, because we've had a lovely programme.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Such a lovely programme that indeed you should join us soon
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
