0:00:07 > 0:00:11Ahoy there! Time to up anchor and set sail again
0:00:11 > 0:00:15as we go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Today we're in the gorgeous Gloucester docks.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Back in the 1800s, this was a thriving port
0:00:49 > 0:00:52serving the entire Midlands.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57But today, what precious cargo are our teams about to find?
0:00:58 > 0:01:04'Gloucester Antique Centre is bunged with booty for our intrepid teams to duel over.'
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- Ah, I like the look of this. - I like the look of that, as well.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- What do you think, Carrie? - It's amazing.- You like it?- Yeah.- OK.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15£145?
0:01:15 > 0:01:20OK, I'll offer you £110 and a lollipop! Will you take it?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25'Who will win the battle of the bar? It's going to be a swashbuckler.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'So let's meet our cygnets, I mean teams.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Carrie, Andy, Chris, Matt, welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- Hi, Tim. - Lovely to see you. Now, Carrie, you're partners. How did you meet?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40My brother's a musician, my best friend's a DJ
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and they were both booked to play a night that Andy puts on in Glasgow
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- two years ago now. - And was it just caramba?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Absolutely!- Was it? - A wink and a nod.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55- Brilliant. So what do you do for a living, Carrie?- I work for the NHS, just in an office Monday to Friday,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- so it's nice to be outside today. - Are you into buying and selling antiques?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02We like spending time looking round charity shops.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06We'd say probably 20th century art and design
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- but a good bargain is what we're after. - Something cheap but with style.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Absolutely.- Quite right, too. Have you got any interest in collecting or trading, Andy?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19I like collecting classic football shirts. It's got me into trouble before, spending money online.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24What are your tactics going to be today? Not to go for expensive shirts, I hope.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29No, we're going to look for quality and combine that with getting a low price, get a bargain.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Right. Well, we'll enjoy watching that. And very good luck.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Now for the Blues. Here's two scallywags.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- THEY LAUGH - So, Chris, what do you do? - I'm a building surveyor.
0:02:39 > 0:02:47At the moment, I'm working in schools to look after any sort of extension work or refurbishment.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I design it and then project manage it on site.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- You see the kiddies going to school and think, "That's the school I built".- That's right.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Matt, what do you do?- I'm a primary school teacher in Liverpool.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I've promised I'm going to say hello to class 3A.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07Hello, 3A! Have a nice time today! I've been doing that for the last five years, which I love.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10It's a really interesting job, no two days are the same
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- and it's really interesting. - Have you ever worked in a school Chris has done the building work on?
0:03:15 > 0:03:20I haven't, no. Never crossed paths that way. But maybe one day we will.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Are you going to make a good team? - Definitely.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29We've got good tactics. We're going to take one of your mottos with us.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- What's that?- We're going to use some leftover lollies
0:03:33 > 0:03:38and we're going to see if we can get prices down by bribing them with lollipops.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I told you we'd got some scallywags. Anyway, here we go.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46£300 apiece. £300. You know the rules.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Your experts await and off you go!
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Lollipops indeed! The cheek!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55'I think those Blues are going to be trouble.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59'I hope their expert, Anita Manning, can hammer them into shape.'
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Boys, are any of you guys good at DIY?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06'Meanwhile, the ever-fashionable Colin Young
0:04:06 > 0:04:09'will be on hand to help the Reds.'
0:04:09 > 0:04:12A very dapper piece of 20th century. Do you think it will go in the sale?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Yeah.- Suits you well.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- So, team, Gloucester awaits. Is there a plan?- Yeah, attack!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Is there anything you want to buy? - Some nice glass.- Glass.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Glass, class. Let's get buying.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- OK, guys, here we are. Are you excited?- Ah, very excited!
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Do you want to spend plenty of money?- Yes!- Let's go!
0:04:37 > 0:04:41You know the rules. Each team gets £300
0:04:41 > 0:04:46and an hour to shop for three items with the help of their expert
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and then try and make a profit at the auction.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50'Gloucester Antique Centre is like a TARDIS.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53'It's three floors crammed with goodies
0:04:53 > 0:04:57'so our teams should be spoiled for choice.'
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I think probably the good thing to do on this is to do a quick run round,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04anything that grabs your eye, look at it,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- but otherwise just keep sweeping through because there's so much to get through.- OK.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14- I like this type of...- Art Deco. - Yeah, something you could use for perfume.- Do you know what it is?
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Perfume?- Perfume, well done! This boy knows what he's doing!
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- It's a bit pricey, though, £60. - What do you think that could make if it was in your auction?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- £60. - THEY LAUGH That's all we're going to get?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31'Leave it there, Blues. The idea here is to make a profit.'
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- What is it? - Edwardian circular washstand.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Do you want to go down the jewellery route, Matt?- Swizzle stick.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44What?
0:05:44 > 0:05:50Something like that is popular at auction. That clock is going to make probably £50 to £80,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53that sort of range, which only leaves you with one problem.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- It's £120.- Yep.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59'The Reds are starting slow and steady, but time is ticking by
0:05:59 > 0:06:04'and those cheeky Blues are already eyeing up their first item.'
0:06:04 > 0:06:07What you've got here is a huge, colourful display
0:06:07 > 0:06:12of late 20th century items
0:06:12 > 0:06:14and these are hot just now.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- So have a wee look and see if there's anything...- I like this.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- Do you like that?- Yeah. - See, I think you've got a bit of taste there, darling.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Erm, I think that's quite interesting. Let me just get a wee bit closer to it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- It's an interesting item.- What we've got is this chrome column here
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and we've got this wacky plastic shade.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Do you think £85 might be a bit too much, though?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, stylish. It's hot.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44So I think that it's quite possibly...
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Do you think it might be worth having a word and see what price we can get? - Yep.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54'Very trendy, chaps! That kitsch look will do well in a city boutique.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57'Bit of a shame they're selling at a rural auction house.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02'Ah, well, I'm sure the sensible Reds know better. Oh, no, what's this?'
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I like the look of this. - I like the look of that, as well.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- That'd fit nicely in the lounge.- What do you think, Carrie?- It's amazing.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- You like it?- Yeah.- What a truly classic and iconic piece.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18The hooks on there to get your glasses in. I think that's fantastic.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Let's see what the magical price tag is on it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Marked at £145. That's going to be a bit painful, I think.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- If we got it for the 45, we'd be doing quite well. - You'd be doing great at 45.
0:07:29 > 0:07:35- I think, really, it's got to be pitched in at under 100.- I'd put it on the shortlist as a wildcard.- OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- But a lot less money.- There's some damage down at the bottom.- Oh, yes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44A little bit tatty. I must admit, though, the excitement you've had for the item,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- should we just go and see if we can get a deal done?- Yeah, why not?
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- 'Go on!'- Yeah.- Yeah? Go for it. Let's go and ask what we can do.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57'Carrie's a bit hesitant, but I think Andy really loves the bar.'
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- We've been having a look at this little bar of yours. - Rather lovely, isn't it?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It is rather good. We love it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06The only problem is, two minor things on it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- One's about that long and it's the little bit of damage on it.- Yes.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- And the other one is about that long and it's the price tag.- Right, OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:20A little bit of damage, it's a 1950s/1960s home bar and it's been enjoyed.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- The price tag, I've got £145 on it, haven't I?- Mm.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Erm... - What do you think to it, guys?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I'd look to start at maybe half that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34No. £110 is as good as that's going to be.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- 90?- I'm going to hold fast at £110. - OK.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44- Well, I think it's early days and we know where it is.- Yep. - So we could come back later on.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Yeah. We've got plenty of time left and it's certainly on the shopping list as a possibility.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Thanks very much.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55'Don't leave it too long. There's no guarantee it will still be there when you come back.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59'The rate the Blues are going on, they'll be buying up the whole of Gloucester.'
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- Boys, do you like that? - I noticed that before. I thought it was quite interesting.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- It drew your eye.- Yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Erm, it's West German.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It's probably 1950s, 1960s.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15There is lots of colour in it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18This is a piece of retro and it would fit perfectly
0:09:18 > 0:09:24in a room which was lit by this crazy lamp.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Let's see if we can grab the guy
0:09:27 > 0:09:33- and see if we can get a deal on both things.- What do you think?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Cos we were talking about maybe 60 for this.- Uh-huh.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40It's down for 85. Do you think if we went for 85 for the two, that might be something he would go for?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Is that too much?
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- No, no, no, no. See what you can do. - Shall we take this and see if we can find...
0:09:48 > 0:09:52'Two for one? Could be a good deal. I like your thinking there.'
0:09:52 > 0:09:55They won't go any lower than 65 on the lamp, I'm afraid.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00OK. What if we were to buy it in tandem with this? Would you do a deal on the both?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Could you do...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Let me see what the best price is on that.
0:10:04 > 0:10:11- But they definitely won't go lower than 65, which is... - A good reduction.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- If we get a good reduction on that one... - Let's see what we can do on this.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19'Ten minutes in and the Blues have got two potential items. Come on, Reds!'
0:10:19 > 0:10:22That's a very good spoon.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25The bowl is sort of slightly obscure.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Looks like it's been extremely well used by a left-handed person.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34John Lampfert, it says. 18th century. Dates from 1772.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- That's what it says on the label. I think that's worth a look. - Definitely.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43There we go, slip-top. That end of the spoon is what's known as a knop.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46This is the plainest of the plain. Lovely hammered bowl.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49And full set of hallmarks there.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53As it says, it dates from 1772. It's a London assay mark.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59- Feel the item, see what you think to it.- It's very light.- It is, isn't it?- Yeah.- What's it on for?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03The price it's marked at is £135.
0:11:03 > 0:11:10Erm, I would say a spoon like that at auction certainly should realise £90 to £120,
0:11:10 > 0:11:15which means you're going to have to be a long way from that £135.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Erm, if it's something that you like, we can ask a price,
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- but I think there's a few other things in this cabinet to have a look at while we've got it open.- OK.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34'The cheeky Blues are mid-haggle and about to deploy their secret weapon.'
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- £90 for the two? - Would you take another £5 off if we bought both items?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- I can't. That is the real rock bottom price.- Is it? OK.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46What if we promised to return later with a lollipop for you?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Honestly, if you could take 85 and we gave you a lollipop, and we promise you this,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- could you do it?- Strawberry flavour?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Strawberry.- 85.- 85?- 85.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- That is our very lowest. - Right, 85. Thank you.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03'Oh. The Blues are off to a lolly good start.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09'But more kitsch! You boys do know we're selling in Worcestershire, not the Portobello Road?
0:12:09 > 0:12:14'Anyway, two items down, the lamp for £65 and the butterfly plaque for £20.'
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Guys, you were a wee bit slow starting
0:12:16 > 0:12:20but 15 minutes down, we've got two items,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23our pistols are packed so we've got tonnes of time.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- So let's have a good look around and let's have some fun.- Yes!- Let's go.
0:12:27 > 0:12:33'Fun? Oh, dear, I hope those scallies Matt and Chris aren't going to lead our Anita astray!
0:12:33 > 0:12:36'Now, in an Aladdin's cave like this,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39'you can always unearth something worth forking out cash for.'
0:12:39 > 0:12:44What is the most popular activity for the Brits?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Without doubt, it is gardening.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51People just love it, whether they've got a window box or 25 acres.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55And the Victorians were equally keen on horticulture.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01George Unite, the celebrated Birmingham novelty silversmith,
0:13:01 > 0:13:07sure did know a thing or two about making novelty pieces like this perfectly.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11For a kick off, the ivory handles have been perfectly formed.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17That shaped handle is exactly like the spade that you've got in the potting shed.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21The shaft is joined to the metal bit with a rivet,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24just like the real spade would be.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27And the metal bit is, of course, solid silver
0:13:27 > 0:13:32and you can see the hallmarks here, Birmingham 1876.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The spade itself is bright cut with these curls
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and lovely bits of design.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Quite plain on the back but fancy on the front.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44But what would you use such an implement for in your dining room?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46The answer is butter
0:13:46 > 0:13:51because this things is technically a butter spade.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Think of a pat of butter nicely set out, you want to cut a lump off,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59this spade will do the job perfectly for you.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02And having got your slab of butter out,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06what do you do with the pot of pickles next door?
0:14:06 > 0:14:12Well, you take this chap, which continues the horticultural theme,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16with its perfectly formed ivory handle and shaft,
0:14:16 > 0:14:21and it is, of course, a fork for forking out pickles.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25And it's made with four tines, one of which is irregular.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29This outer one, if you look, is a bit fatter than the ones inside
0:14:29 > 0:14:32so that you can cut through the pickled onion
0:14:32 > 0:14:36and then continue to use the fork to take it from a side plate
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and put it on your main dinner plate.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42What's all this lot worth?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Well, it could be had for £200 cash.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49And in a specialist sale, I think they could be worth as much as £500.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52So there you go. Dig for victory!
0:14:53 > 0:14:57'In fact, the Reds need to dig deep and buy something, anything.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00'At least they're delving deeper into that cabinet of treasures.'
0:15:00 > 0:15:05What about the silver ring stand with carved mother-of-pearl?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Far too much money.- What's that?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12SHE LAUGHS
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It is actually a netsuke. It's Japanese, ivory.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- It's a two-faced one.- Mm. Is it a rattle?- Let's have a look.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25It has got a rattle in there.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30What does the label say on it? Ivory, Japanese, £125.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Again, it's just too much money.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37If you could buy that for £60 or £70, I would say that's a definite, go for it,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- but... Is that your choice item? - Definitely.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43So what's left for me to choose? Silver pin cushion.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Birmingham, 1909. Edwardian. Erm, marked at £95.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Again, that's really got to be a £50 or £60 purchase.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59- So...- We've got the spoon for £135. - Yep.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04- This one at £125. - Yep. That's marked at £95.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Is there anything there that you really don't like?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- I really like the spoon. - I like these two.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Shall we see what prices we can get these down to?- OK.
0:16:12 > 0:16:19'The Reds are taking their time, but the good news is they could be about to bag a three in one purchase.'
0:16:21 > 0:16:26'The pin cushion, £60. The netsuke and the spoon at £85 each.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28'But they are so indecisive,
0:16:28 > 0:16:33'they need help from someone knowledgeable, sophisticated. Look out.'
0:16:33 > 0:16:37This looks like a right old muddle. What's going on here? Everybody's got something.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Have you bought the lot?- No, no quite yet.- Are you trying to decide?
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Three really good items and we've asked the price and none of them seem too expensive,
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- so we've got a dilemma. - That's nice, isn't it?- Yeah. - Who does that remind you of?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- THEY LAUGH - Apart from the hooter.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Anyway, good luck. Isn't it nice to be spoiled for choice?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59So we've got a little bit of a dilemma with these three items.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Plus, we've got the bar, of course. We've got 20 minutes to go.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05What are we going to do?
0:17:05 > 0:17:11I think they've offered us £85 for this spoon and for the ivory.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15I think we should try and cut a deal. £150 for both.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Because then that still gives us enough money to have a deal on the bar.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- OK, so we're going to try and haggle for these?- Yeah.- See if we can get a bit more off them.- Yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Hiya.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- Good news! We got them both for £160.- Ah, good work!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I think that's pretty good.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42'So, £80 for the silver spoon and another £80 for the netsuke. Hurrah!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45'At last the slow Reds are catching up with the speedy Blues
0:17:45 > 0:17:51'and they're on their way back to get the bar. But hold on, someone's beaten them to it.'
0:17:51 > 0:17:53OK, who wants a drink? Anyone?
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- I think I'll have one of those. - OK, yeah.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- There we go.- I quite like these.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Oh, they're nice, yeah.- There we go. - OK.- You can have one of those, as well.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Mm! Lovely!- I like this, Anita. It's very nice.- I like it, too.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14- I like it, too.- It is a bit wacky. - I don't know who would buy it. - See, that's the problem.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- I would, but I'm not at the auction. - How much is it?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21£145? For the whole bar?
0:18:21 > 0:18:27The thing about this bar, boys, is that it's so bad that it's good.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I think my brother would kill me if I brought this home, but I love it. THEY LAUGH
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- I could afford that, as well. - 145 quid for your own pub!
0:18:34 > 0:18:40- I know, brilliant. All the parties at my house.- And you could buy one of these wee things to go with it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Do you like it? Do you think we should ask about it?- We should certainly get more information.
0:18:44 > 0:18:51- Hello. The boys have fallen in love with this bar.- You'll have to fight the other team. They want it, too!
0:18:51 > 0:18:57- How much would you...- I offered it to the other team for £110. The same deal is on the table for you.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03What about £110, the lollipop, but you throw in these things on top of it, as well?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Erm, no, I've got another £15 on those bits.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11What I'll do for you is £120 with those.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- And a lollipop. - What about £115 and two lollipops?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19No. £120 and one lollipop.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Shall we go for it? - I think so, yeah. It's a deal.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- It's a bit of fun, Anita. - Ah, that's my boys!
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- I think we should go for it.- Guess what, Matt. It's a bar-gain hunt! - THEY LAUGH
0:19:30 > 0:19:33'Hang on! I do the jokes around here.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38'So that's three items in the bag and the Blues have finished shopping.'
0:19:38 > 0:19:42We came looking for silver and jewellery and fine antiques
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and ended up buying a crazy bar,
0:19:45 > 0:19:49a wacky lamp and a nutty wall plaque.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52They were great! It was smashing fun.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58And they might just make a profit because the market loves this type of unusual item.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02'Anita's pleased. But look out, here come the Reds and they won't be happy.'
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- The bar looks empty.- I'm packing it away for the other team.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07THEY GASP No!
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Yep.- How much did they give you?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Exactly what I offered it to you for.- £110?- Yeah.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- I can't believe it.- Oh, dear.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- Looks like it's closing orders. - It was always a good item.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24'You snooze, you lose. The Reds lost the home bar.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27'So, will it lose them the game? We'll find out at the auction.'
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- I can't believe it. - I can't believe it, either.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Those Scousers!- I think we're now on desperation row.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41- What about the pin cushion? - Erm, we'll have it if we can't find anything else. We'll just have it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44So let's just see if we can actually find something we really, really want.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49'Meanwhile, the Blues clearly think it's put them full speed ahead! A-harr!'
0:20:53 > 0:20:56My boys! You look lovely.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Ah, it looks like Tim. - Looks like Tim.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Me and Tim could be twins.- 'I don't think so, thank you very much.'
0:21:04 > 0:21:09This is where we need to just do the quick walk, quick scan,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12and anything that just does take your eye.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16'Get a wriggle on, Reds. There are only five minutes left. Tick-tock.'
0:21:16 > 0:21:20What about a set of buttons for £30?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I must admit, I'm starting to feel the pressure a bit now.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26What do you think to this?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Cups.- Definitely not for us.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Let's go and buy the pin cushion. - Pin cushion.- OK.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Cos it's a two-minute walk back up there and we haven't found anything else, have we?- No.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42We'll we're very lucky. Seconds to go,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45it's still in the cabinet, still got a price tag on it, so we can buy it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- We asked you earlier about this pin cushion.- Yes.
0:21:49 > 0:21:55We'd like to make the vendor an offer. Go for 55 and see if they'll take that.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01- I'm sure they will, yes.- You're sure they will?- Yep.- Brilliant! Can we shake on that?- Yep.- Thanks.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- Great!- Extra fiver might make the world of difference to us. - It all helps.- And it probably will.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11'Right, that's it, time's up. Let's have a look at what the Reds have got.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16'Cautious Carrie and Andy eventually went for the silver spoon at £80.
0:22:17 > 0:22:23'The two-faced Japanese netsuke rattle was also £80.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27'And that last-minute purchase, the pin cushion, cost £55.'
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Well, you two love birds, did you enjoy that? - Yeah, it was great fun, thanks.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Which is your favourite piece? - I like the netsuke.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- What about you? - I think the spoon is going to make us the most money on the day.
0:22:42 > 0:22:48- And you spent how much?- £215.- I'd like £85 of leftover lolly, please. - There you go.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54- Thank you. £85. Colin Young, there's a challenge here for you. - There is indeed.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- You like a challenge, don't you? - I do. Are there any ideas of what I'm going to buy for the bonus buy?
0:22:59 > 0:23:06- No.- No?- No.- You're just a tease, you are, Colin. You know perfectly well what you'll spend the cash on.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Meanwhile, why don't we find out how the Blues are getting on, eh?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13'They couldn't wait to get spending,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17'starting with the retro lamp for £65. Yuck!
0:23:17 > 0:23:22'The pottery butterfly wall plaque for just £20. Yuck!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25'And finally, they sneaked in ahead of the Reds
0:23:25 > 0:23:30'and bought the home bar complete with decanter for £120. Yuck!'
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- Had a good shop? - Very good.- Very successful. - What's your favourite piece?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- I have to say the bar. - It would be, wouldn't it?
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- What's your favourite, Chris? - I love the lamp.- The lamp. Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:43 > 0:23:48- Er, probably not. I think the actual butterfly might bring the most profit.- And how much did you spend?
0:23:48 > 0:23:55- We spent £205 overall. - So I want £95, please.- Oh, I haven't got it.- Look at his face.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00This is Merseyside meets Glasgow. Now, darling, what are you going to spend your £95 on?
0:24:00 > 0:24:06- I have absolutely no idea. The boys wanted to buy something traditional, initially.- Yes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09And they've gone for the latter part of the 20th century.
0:24:09 > 0:24:16They've gone for the drink. The most sensible thing they could do. Good luck with your £95. Thanks, chaps.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere positively sublime.
0:24:28 > 0:24:34Castle Howard is one of the finest privately-owned houses in the country.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Home to the Howard family,
0:24:36 > 0:24:41it also has many, many links to other historic houses and families.
0:24:50 > 0:24:56Here we've got a charming naive pastel portrait of Lady Georgiana Cavendish,
0:24:56 > 0:25:02aged one year old in 1784.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04By the time she's 17,
0:25:04 > 0:25:09she's married the 6th Earl and she's moved in here to this bedroom,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13which is to this day known as Lady Georgiana's bedroom.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18What's extraordinary about this room is the number of portraits hung upon the walls.
0:25:18 > 0:25:24Most of these images relate to Georgiana's and the 6th Earl's progeny.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28They had no less than 12 children.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Now, history doesn't relate as to whether this actually is the marital bed.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36It's a type of bed called a lit a la Polonaise
0:25:36 > 0:25:40with this lovely raised ruched canopy
0:25:40 > 0:25:44that's contained at the top by a pelmet.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48A pelmet that's described as being lambrequin
0:25:48 > 0:25:52because it has these pendant, leaf-like drops.
0:25:52 > 0:25:59And, of course, it's got these dramatic ostrich feathers in vases surmounting the top.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05The nice thing about decoration at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century
0:26:05 > 0:26:08is how, quite often, themes are repeated.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12So if you take that lambrequin pediment
0:26:12 > 0:26:16and you relate it to the pelmets above the windows, they match.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20The other nice thing in this room is the use of mirrors.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Here we've got a spectacular landscape mirror,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28called a landscape mirror because it's long and wide.
0:26:28 > 0:26:35This landscape mirror dates from about 1690 to 1720.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39And at that time, it wasn't possible, normally, to make sheets of glass
0:26:39 > 0:26:42and have them mirrored much longer than about this.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48So what do you do? You add two additional pieces of mirrored glass on either side,
0:26:48 > 0:26:54and where the joint is, instead of having a dull, fractured joint,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58you make a virtue out of it by jollying it up with some flat cutting,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02making these nice floral scallops.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07And then the whole thing sits in a very exotic sub-frame which is also made of glass.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10And that's called verre eglomise
0:27:10 > 0:27:15because the gilding is introduced with a black lacquered surface
0:27:15 > 0:27:18to give you this rich and exotic effect.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Then you slap it in a traditional wooden frame that's parcel gilt.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27All in all, a pretty spectacular job.
0:27:27 > 0:27:33Of course, the big question today is, will our teams' dreams be reflected over in the auction?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38'Oh, very neat. It's time to sell our goodies,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42'and find out whether the retro bar will be a hit with the Malvern crowd.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44'Or whether it will sink our Blues.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48'Let's see what auctioneer Philip Serrell thinks about our items.'
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Well, it has been a pleasant hop up from Gloucester to Malvern,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55and even more pleasant to be with Philip Serrell at the saleroom.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Philip.- How are you, Tim?- I'm very, well, thank you.- Good, good.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03So, this team, Carrie and Andy. First off, they've got the slip-top spoon,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06which is quite an eccentric object, isn't it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10I think they've got some really interesting things,
0:28:10 > 0:28:15and I think this spoon is, well, you've said that it's late 18th century, mid-1770s
0:28:15 > 0:28:21- but the hallmark isn't that clear. - The date letter on it is an Old English R.- Yep.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26And if you didn't go with 1775, you might go with 1675.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- What's your estimate on it? - We've put £60 to £90.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35- Next is this odd-ball netsuke. Do you like that? - I do. I think it's really fun.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40- And I think that's £60 to £90 worth.- I mean, it's all there, isn't it? And it's amusing, too.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- It's fun. It's good fun.- Well, again, £80 was paid by the team.
0:28:44 > 0:28:51- Lastly it's the pin cushion. That's fun, isn't it?- It's sweet, isn't it? It's sweet enough.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54People collect pin cushions, people like little bears,
0:28:54 > 0:28:57as a novelty piece of silver at £40, £60, I think that's fine.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- That's your estimate?- Yeah. - 40 to 60. Very good. £55.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- So this team have boxed clever. - They bought good things.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06They bought nice little collectable objects.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10They shouldn't need their bonus buy but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15So, Carrie, Andy, you spent a magnificent £215, I'm so proud of you.
0:29:15 > 0:29:21- £85 went to the Colin Young. What did you buy, Colin? - I didn't spend all of it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:28All I spent was £68 and I thought a wonderful little lot for £68 was that.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Silver. Early 20th century. Chester assay mark.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35It's a drum mustard, always really popular.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- Nice little thumb piece and associated spoon to go with it. - Hm. I'm impressed.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- So how much did you spend on it?- £68. - What do you think it could fetch?
0:29:43 > 0:29:48- I would hope that might make 90, it might make 100 if we're lucky. - All right.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Do you want to handle it, Carrie?
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- Weighty or not?- Weighty. - Weighty.- Marks.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- And is the spoon the original one? - Associated. It's not the original one.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05But it's got its original blue glass liner, very clean item.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07So, what you call ready to go, Andy?
0:30:07 > 0:30:11I think so. We need to think about it, but wait and see how we do at the auction.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Anyway, think about it, but for the audience at home,
0:30:13 > 0:30:17let's find out what Philip Serrell has to say about the mustard.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Do you like a bit of mustard with your banger in the morning?
0:30:20 > 0:30:26Well, it's sort of OK. I'm not overly inspired, but we've put £50 to £75 on it.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- There's a lot of silver there. - Yes. £68 paid by Colin.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34He's clever. Whether they'll need it, cos they really have bought well.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39Which is lovely, isn't it? That's it for the Reds. Now the Blues and something completely different.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Well, it's all that, isn't it? - Uranium orange has to be my least favourite colour.
0:30:43 > 0:30:50I just can't see it. I put £20 to £30 on it. If we get that, I think we'll have swum the channel.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55- £65 they paid.- Really? - Which is quite a chunk of money, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:55 > 0:31:02- I mean, I can see it in one of those markets in London.- And we're about 140 miles from London.- I know.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05They buy in Gloucester, they bring it to Malvern
0:31:05 > 0:31:09and think this may be the epicentre of selling chromium plate and uranium orange objects.
0:31:09 > 0:31:15Yeah. I think that's a dangerous, risky strategy.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20Next up, they've gone for something pretty similar. The old West German pottery pot.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Looking like a stylised butterfly.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Are those the sort of things you see screwed to people's bungalows
0:31:27 > 0:31:30on seafronts at Aberystwyth and places like that?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Don't know. You might find them in Dusseldorf, not so much Aberystwyth.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37If it was Spanish I'd understand it because in Spanish ceramics
0:31:37 > 0:31:44where they divide the sections with a little wall and put different colours in, it's called cuerda seca,
0:31:44 > 0:31:48and that's what they make in Spain quite a lot, but for German stuff!
0:31:48 > 0:31:54- Absolutely.- What's your estimate? - £10 to £15.- Very sensible. £20 paid. So they didn't pay a lot.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- And it is a bit of fun.- Yes. - But the final item,
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Philip, we have to move, because I'm going to take you over there. - Really?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04It'll be a difficult thing to place, I guess.
0:32:04 > 0:32:10We thought that this was, sort of, the Peckham period. It was very Trotter-esque in its look.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I'm not really sure Malvern is ready for this.
0:32:13 > 0:32:19- How much did they pay for this, Tim? - They paid £120, mate. How do you see it, estimate-wise?- 40 quid.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- What's lovely about it is that it's well together and in good nick. - Yeah, it's all there.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29OK. Well, we could be steaming for a major loss here.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33In which case they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's see what Anita has found.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39- So, boys, you happy? - Yeah, we're happy.- Perfect. £205 you spent, which is very respectable.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44And Anita Manning ran off with your £95. What did you buy, Anita?
0:32:44 > 0:32:48In our pre-buy tactical discussion,
0:32:48 > 0:32:54the boys wanted to buy some silver, some porcelain and traditional items.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58In actual fact, they bought all this wacky 20th century stuff.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03So I thought with my leftover lolly I would buy you something traditional, boys.
0:33:03 > 0:33:08Oh, that's brilliant! Just what we wanted.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11It's a rather sweet scent bottle.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16Beautifully cut crystal with this raised body here.
0:33:16 > 0:33:22Silver hallmark, silver core here, and lid. So it's a nice traditional item.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27It's in fair condition. And I thought I'd just be completely different, laddies.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- Do you like this type of thing? - I do, yes.- How old is it?
0:33:31 > 0:33:35It's Edwardian, so between 1900 and 1910.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40- And there's nothing orange about it. - I think you're a bit underwhelmed, boys.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I do. I think it's very nice.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47As I said, I don't know much about this type, so what do you think it could make?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Er, well, I've paid £70 on it.- Yeah.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55- It's not going to fly. I might put it to £80 or £90. - Very good.- Any profit's good.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00- So, yeah.- That will help our kitty. - That will help our kitty, definitely.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03There, we've got a prediction of profit there.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Let's find out, for the viewers at home, whether the auctioneer concurs that it's going to make a profit.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15- So, Phil, is there a smell about? - Well, we've put £50 to £75 on this.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20It's an honest sort of a thing in its own way. There's an odd nibble here and there with it,
0:34:20 > 0:34:24but it's got a silver collar round here, and I just think that it stands a chance.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27£70 Anita paid and she's pretty canny with all this stuff,
0:34:27 > 0:34:32she knows that ladies in particular like these things on dressing tables.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36All I can say is, with this bar, good luck.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47£200 bid. £200.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51210. 220. 230. 240. Sold.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- So, Carrie, Andy, how are you feeling?- Good.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59- It's a lovely crowd.- Yeah, I'm picking up the energy, as well. - It's good fun.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04Anyway, let's just run through your items. The first piece we have a bit of a disaster with,
0:35:04 > 0:35:09which is the slip-top spoon. You paid £80 for it, right?
0:35:09 > 0:35:13And you bought it as an 18th century spoon, which is what it is.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18But Philip Serrell has finally determined
0:35:18 > 0:35:23that actually the spoon has been altered from an 18th century spoon
0:35:23 > 0:35:27so that it looks like a 17th century spoon.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- So he's withdrawn it from auction. All right? So it won't be offered. - Oh, no!
0:35:31 > 0:35:35So what we're going to do, we're just going to call it a wiped face.
0:35:35 > 0:35:41So there's no profit, no loss. It's withdrawn. It's not your fault, you start with no profit or loss on it.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45First up now is going to be your netsuke and here it comes.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51Lot number 291 is the Meiji period Japanese netsuke. Lovely.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55What will you bid me for that? Start me at £50. 50.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Bid me £20 someone to get on with it quickly. 20 I'm bid at 20.
0:35:59 > 0:36:0220 bid. 5. At 25. 25. 30.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0530. 30 bid. At 30. At £30 only. This is cheap.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09At £30. 5. 35. 40, sir?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12At £35 only. This is for nothing.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17At £35, there's the bid. At £35 and I sell then. Thank you.
0:36:17 > 0:36:23£35, that's the price for a repro! That is minus £45. Now...
0:36:23 > 0:36:28The little bear pin cushion, and a bit of interest really, I suppose,
0:36:28 > 0:36:30so I start at £130 bid. At 130.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35At £130 only. At 130. 140. 150.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39At £150 bid. On the book. At £150.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42You're all out in the room at 150, on the book bid.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44And I sell on the book at £150
0:36:44 > 0:36:48and done then at 150 and done, thank you.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Well done, Colin. You spotted that. That is plus £95.
0:36:51 > 0:36:57Which wipes out your £45 loss and leaves you with plus 50.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Now that is what you call a result, isn't it?- Yes. - A £50 profit. Well done.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05So what will you do about the mustard pot, then? Are you going to run with it or park your winnings?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- I think we stick. - Stick? Yeah, we'll stick.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Are you sure? Cos there's an element of doubt there, isn't there?
0:37:11 > 0:37:16- After that did so well, the other bit of silver could do better.- It could, but you've decided to stick?
0:37:16 > 0:37:22OK. We're sticking. We're not going with the bonus buy but we're selling it anyway just to see what happens.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Silver mustard pot, put your glasses on, have a look.
0:37:25 > 0:37:2930. £30 I am bid. At 30. 30 bid. 5.
0:37:29 > 0:37:3240. At £40. 45. Gentleman's bid.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35At 45. 50. 50 bid.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38One more, sir? At £50 standing at the back.
0:37:38 > 0:37:4250. Is there any more at all? Can I sell then at 50 and done? Thank you.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45They're good, these two. I mean, really cool.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47You parked your winnings, you are plus 50.
0:37:47 > 0:37:54- That could be a winning score. Don't talk to the Blues, all right?- Lips are sealed.- Thank you, well done.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05'Well done, Reds. Now for the Blues
0:38:05 > 0:38:11'and their rather gaudy collection of retro items including that much fought-over bar.'
0:38:13 > 0:38:17So, you're feeling a bit nervous. Why are you feeling nervous?
0:38:17 > 0:38:23Mm. Not too convinced that what we've bought is the right product for the, er, customers here.
0:38:23 > 0:38:29- Well, it is, of course, a country saleroom. And you knew you were coming to a country saleroom.- True.
0:38:29 > 0:38:35So what you've bought is some cutting edge contemporary stuff for the young trendy market, right?
0:38:35 > 0:38:42- It is.- That's your strategy.- But there's internet bidding. Internet bidding! It's going all the way.
0:38:42 > 0:38:48- It's the way forward. - OK. First up then, the retro uranium orange lamp and here it comes.
0:38:48 > 0:38:55Lot number 311 is the 1960s retro lamp there.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Start me off, someone. Who's got £30 to go?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Who's got £20 to start me?
0:39:01 > 0:39:0320.
0:39:03 > 0:39:0720 I am bid at the back of the room. At 20 bid.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10At £20 only. At 20. And 5. 25.
0:39:10 > 0:39:1330. 30 bid. And 5. 35.
0:39:13 > 0:39:1740. 40 bid. £40 and I sell then at 40 and done.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21That's not as bad as it might have been. That is only minus 25.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Next is the German pottery wall plaque. Well, goodness me.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Start me off £10. 10.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Who's got a fiver for it? 5 I'm bid. 5 bid.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35At £5 only. At 5. £5.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Is there any more at all? At £5 I'm only bid.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41At £5 and done.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- Thank you very much. £5 is minus 15. - We're doing well.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- But here's the bar. - Look out for the bar.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51Now, surprisingly, we do have two commission bids.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Ooh!- Yes!- Regrettably, they don't add up to much.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00- Oh!- OK? But we'll start at £40. At 40. 40 bid.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04At £40 only. At 40. And 5. 50. 50 bid.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- And that's the end of it, I'm afraid. At £50 only. At 50.- Oh, no!
0:40:08 > 0:40:10At £50. Is there 5 anywhere in the room?
0:40:10 > 0:40:14These poor chaps invested hundreds in this. At £50 only.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Can I sell then at £50 and done? Thank you.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22- Minus 110, check!- Check. I'm happy with that. I'm happy with that.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27OK. Cabin crew to open the doors. Now, what are we going to do about Anita's bonus buy?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- Do you want the scent bottle or not? - Even if we made profit
0:40:30 > 0:40:33or just a little loss, we'd have always gone with Anita.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39- Are you sure, now, boys, because your minus could be a winning score? - We've got nothing to lose.
0:40:39 > 0:40:45- There's confidence for you. - They're so sweet.- It's not about the winning, it's about the taking part.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50We're going to go with Anita's £70 scent bottle and here it comes.
0:40:50 > 0:40:56317, this rather nice cut glass scent bottle with a silver collar.
0:40:56 > 0:41:0020 I'm bid. At 20 bid. At 20. 5. 30. 5.
0:41:00 > 0:41:0440. 5. At 45. 45. 50 now. 50.
0:41:04 > 0:41:0850 bid. At 50 only. At 50. Is there any more?
0:41:08 > 0:41:12At £50 only. Is there more at all?
0:41:12 > 0:41:17At £50 and I sell then at £50 and done, thank you.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Sorry, guys.- Should've gone to Glasgow, shouldn't it?
0:41:20 > 0:41:26- Anyway, here we go. Minus £130. Now, that's not too bad. - SHE LAUGHS
0:41:26 > 0:41:32- So, don't say a word to the Reds, all right? All will be revealed in a moment.- Fantastic.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46Well, that was fun, wasn't it? What an extraordinary morning we've had.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48I mean, talk about chalk and cheese.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53The runners-up today, if you've not been talking, which you haven't, have you?
0:41:53 > 0:41:57So you don't know how you're getting on. By a long chalk, and cheese,
0:41:57 > 0:42:04it's the Blues. I mean, you are minus £130, you guys.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07You made a loss on every single item.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10They were items that were perfect for London.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Oh, yes. The thing is, we're in Worcestershire, you see?
0:42:13 > 0:42:17- But you had a good time. - We had a brilliant time. - We've loved having you.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- You have been a fantastic team. - Thank you.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25Thank you for giving us so much fun by buying all these alternative things.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29It absolutely has not worked for you today.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34But for the team on the contraire, who've done supremely well,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37who not only lost their first item,
0:42:37 > 0:42:42thanks to a legal technicality in the silver hallmarking laws,
0:42:42 > 0:42:48so you only had two items to trade, and you managed to make a £50 profit on those, which is pretty good.
0:42:48 > 0:42:54Then you didn't go with the bonus buy which, sadly, made a loss, so that was very savvy too,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57cos these are two cute operators, I can tell you.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- And you're going to go home with £50...- Thank you.- ..folding money.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Congratulations, both of you. Really, really well done.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07In fact we have had so much fun,
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- why don't you join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
