0:00:03 > 0:00:07Yes, it's the biggest of its kind in Europe,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10attracting buyers, dealers from every corner of the globe.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15It's the Newark International Antiques and Collectors Fair.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19I hope you're standing by for this cos let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Today, our Reds and Blues can choose from over 4,000 stalls
0:00:50 > 0:00:52spread across 84 acres.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55That's an awful lot of choice.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57But here's a taste of what's coming up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02On today's show, the Reds appear to be having a love-in.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04MUSIC: "Love Is In The Air" by John Paul Young
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Aw, thank you! - Aw, thank you!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Yay!- Done it!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16But the Blue team can't seem to agree on anything.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- I like it. I like the pattern. - You would, but I'm not keen.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Well, we might... Do you think we'd make something out of that, though?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- No.- Er...I think it's touch and go.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31See that pot on the end of that stand, there?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Look at the face on her.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38That's all coming up but first let me explain the rules.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Each team gets £300 and an hour to shop for three items,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43which they sell on at auction later.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48The team wins that makes the biggest profit or the smallest loss.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Let's meet today's teams, shall we?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Today, for the Red team, we've got Hazel and Jenny,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and for the Blues, sisters Pamela and Monica.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Welcome all.- Hello.- Hiya.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Now, Hazel, how did you two meet?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Well, about five years ago, Jenny moved to our lovely little village
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and she came along to a WI coffee morning, and the rest is history.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Now, Hazel, it says here that you're a retired lady.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I can hardly believe this.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19What did you do before your retirement?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I worked in banking. I worked for a high street bank in a branch.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24And then you come out...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- I did.- ..and joined the WI.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Well, amongst other things.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I bet you're the honorary treasurer.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34No. Don't say that. I've just managed to get off the committee.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Oh, I see. Excellent.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Now, you have a shared interest in antiques. Hazel, tell us about that.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Well, we both like the same sort of era - we like the Art Nouveau
0:02:42 > 0:02:45period and Arts And Crafts.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Do you ever go out shopping for bargains?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Oh, yes. We love rummaging in junk shops, charity shops,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52antique shops...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So, you're, what I call, experienced.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Well, we would like to think so, yes.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Good. Jenny, it says here you're also retired, unbelievably.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And what did you do when you were working?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- I worked, for my sins, as a school teacher for 40 years...- Did you?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09..teaching art and design, and drama.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12It says here you've got a creative side to your personality.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, not surprising, teaching what you...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17It says here you write short stories and poems.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Yeah.- Nothing published?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Nothing published as yet but ever in hope, really.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Well quite. Springs eternal, doesn't it?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Like being on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29How do you rate your chances today, you two?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Oh, great!- Yeah?- Oh, yeah.- You're feeling really strong about this?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- We're going to win a pin... - Win a pin.- That's our aim.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37You know what you need to do to win a pin, don't you?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Make a profit.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41That's your challenge. That's great.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I think you're very, very scared, you two.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Quaking in our boots.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49They have got the sisterhood on their side -
0:03:49 > 0:03:53that family welding that makes them a special, powerful bond.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- True or false?- False!
0:03:55 > 0:03:56BOTH LAUGH
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Monica, you're the eldest sister by 18 months.- I am.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01What do you do for a living, Monica?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I'm a ward housekeeper on an orthopaedic ward -
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I've been doing that for 39 years.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08That's a long old stretch, isn't it?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- It's is. I'm due for my gold watch. - Are you?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13With these girls wanting a pin and you getting a gold watch,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15we've got a right collection today, haven't we?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17And what do you do when you're not working, Monica?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- I do a lot of line dancing. - Do you?- Yes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Go away for weekends... - Do you do it with your sister?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I've got her into it, yes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Now, Pam, what did you used to do when you worked?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I was a purchasing manager for a sportswear manufacturer.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And what did that involve?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I used to buy everything from the cotton right through to the bags
0:04:35 > 0:04:37that we packed the garments when they were made.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39So, you're good at negotiating then, are you?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I...think I am, yes. Hopefully that will come in useful later on.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Well, will it work with these antique dealers, do you think?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- I hope so.- So, you're going to be in charge of haggling?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- I'm going to be in charge of haggling.- Very good to hear it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53And what's your technique today to beat the Reds?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58We're going to buy really good quality at cheap prices,
0:04:58 > 0:04:59and hopefully make a small profit.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Sounds like your business model.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Anyway, here we go with the money. Here's your £300.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10And off you go and very good luck.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Sportswear, eh?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Bracing themselves for the cold today,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18we have two seasoned Bargain Hunt experts.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21The Reds will benefit from the wisdom of Anita Manning.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Blues will be hoping David Barby isn't sitting down on the job.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30It's brass monkeys today, so they'd better get underway.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Pam, have you been here before? - No, never.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37There's thousands of stalls to look at.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What are you going to look for?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Erm...art deco, wood, preferably oak, I like oak.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Right. Monica?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Art nouveau and blue and white porcelain.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Anything that can make us a profit. - Oh, absolutely.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53We want to win a pin -
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- that is our main thing today. - No pressure then, Reds.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Let's go shopping. - The Reds are pretty clued up.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I wonder if they'll give Anita a run for her money.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06We were thinking also cake-standish,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09cos that's very trendy at the moment.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Uh-huh. Oh, cupcakes, that's right.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14They're very much the thing. We're WI girlies, you see.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16A three-tier...
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Do you do all that jam and Jerusalem stuff?- We do.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I don't know about jam and Jerusalem,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24but it looks like the Blues have stopped for tea.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- I like it. I like... - You would, but I'm not keen.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- I don't think I'd want it. - It's not signed, does it matter?- No.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- It won't be signed. - How much is this?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- SELLER: 120 for the whole lot. - Is that your best price?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- SELLER: Yes. - OK, thank you very much.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- It's a big chunk of our money, isn't it?- It is early on.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- But it's something to come back to, which I think is good.- Yeah.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48OK, thank you very much, sir.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I think we should have a look inside, OK? Come on.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Girls, do you like that type of thing?- Yes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- We do. We do like. - It's a shame it's not copper.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Yes, it is. I like copper.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09This brass is not in at the moment. What's the price on that?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Ooh.- Yeah, 35, but I just thought you'd like it.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- We do.- We love this sort of sort of organic motif.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18That's exactly what we like.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20But there's no brass in brass.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Is that a desk tidy?- Uh-huh. You girls like Oriental style as well.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Yeah, we do. I quite like that. - What's it made of, Anita?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29It's some sort of lacquered wood
0:07:29 > 0:07:33and it's probably from the 1920s or 1930s.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Right. - You would keep your letters in here.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- You've got your little ink stand here.- And they're both complete.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- They're both complete. - Is there any damage on it at all?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It looks not too bad. There is frost on it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47BOTH LAUGH
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Do you know? I really do like that. Do you, Hazel?- I do, yes.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Now, it's 55 on it. We need to knock it down a bit.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58You need to knock it down, but I think it probably is English,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01but the motif, the Oriental...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03People loved the exotic during those days,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06so they've copied that from an Oriental pattern.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11So, there's just a motif on the front panel.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14If we look at the condition, we might expect, because of the
0:08:14 > 0:08:18age of it, some sort of wear on the paintwork, but there isn't any.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21There isn't. I can't see any scratches on it at all.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Do you want to go for that?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Yes, definitely. - We like it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30We were just wondering whether we could buy that for £30?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33SELLER: No way. What's on it? 55. 45.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Can you do 38? SELLER: Can't do it.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- I mean, it's quite a nice thing. - SELLER: Find another one.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39EXPERT LAUGHS
0:08:39 > 0:08:41You cannae kid a kidder.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45SELLER: I've never seen one anything like it since I've bought it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Do you think there's any profit...? - It has some appeal.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Let's not dither, let's go. - We will go for it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52She's very positive, isn't she?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56SELLER: It's what you want though, isn't it? You've got to be positive.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Right, shall we shake on it? - Let's shake on it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I think you've got a couple of fans here.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05We'll be back next week.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07And so might we.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Good start, Reds.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Girls, that was excellent. Ten minutes down and one in the bag.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Yes! - I've got a pair of stars here.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21But don't burn yourselves out too quickly, girls.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23You've still got two items to find.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25That's rather nice, isn't it?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27And you've got all the elements of carved wood.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- What's that made out of? - Wood.- We know it's made out of wood!
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Very much like a...like a sycamore. - What would it sell at at auction?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I think that would sell for probably £60/£70.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Yeah, it is nice. - I like the pattern on that as well.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Excuse me, madam, what is the best price on the book stand?
0:09:43 > 0:09:44SELLER: 80.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47That was very spontaneous, without a great deal of thought.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Could you do it less than £80? - SELLER: No, sir.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51- £80.- £80.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Well, we might... Do you think we'd make something out of that, though?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- No.- I think it's touch and go, but the point is it's quality.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00What you want to buy is something that's quality.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- I like it.- OK, yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06You tell them, David. Quality is the thing.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- That's beautiful, that is. - Out the corner of my eye...
0:10:09 > 0:10:13You see that pot on the end of that stand, there?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15That's very much in the Arts And Crafts...
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Can we just go over there and have a look at it?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I don't know whether I like the colour.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- I'd sooner have the Moorcroft vase. - I'd sooner have the...- ..or that one.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Yeah, but you can't afford it, darling.- No.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28But that looks affordable.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Told you.- £28 - that's quite good.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- What does that mean, on there? - That's Wilkes and Company,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and they were the forerunner of the Leeds Pottery Company.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- So, what sort of age has that got? - This is 1870/1880.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44It's quite... It doesn't look that old. It looks fairly modern.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- I think that's the beauty of it. - It might go well then.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Just handle it, Monica. Tell me what you think.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50It is nice. I just...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53When you look at all these, they're all hand cut.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's just the bright yellow, isn't it?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58But I don't like it, personally. It's not me at all.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Is it not?- It's not, but then we're not buying for me, are we?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- That's a very valid point.- We're not buying for me...- How much...?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05How much do you think that would make at auction?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- I'd like to see it make around £40. - So, if we can get it from 20.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Let me have a word with the owner.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Just talk about it and I'll be back in a second.- OK.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Anyway, I think we ought to go for that one
0:11:15 > 0:11:17if we can get the right price for it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19It would go into a modern home, wouldn't it?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- But I don't particularly like it. - Right, 20 quid.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23- Really?- That's not bad.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- I think we ought to take that one, then.- So you're happy at 20.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Yeah, I think we're OK with 20, yeah.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Just look at it - it's a nice piece.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34It's growing on me. The more I look at it, the more I like it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- OK.- Now, what are you saying?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39That it looks better from a distance?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Now, where are those WI ladies? Cake, anyone?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Ooh! Anita, that's what we were talking about.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46That's what we were talking about.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Right, well, these are three-tiered cake stands and they would be used
0:11:50 > 0:11:53when your friends came for afternoon tea.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- We do it all the time. - We do it all the time, Anita.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59And what should happen here,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01and I don't think it's happening in this one...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03They tip up.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04..they tip up.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08SELLER: That one also folds itself...on there as well.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Oh, I see.- OK. - OK.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13So it would be sitting against your wall,
0:12:13 > 0:12:14tucked against your wall,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18and when your friends and your pals come up for tea, you'd bring
0:12:18 > 0:12:21that out and you'd put a nice little plate on it with your cakes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- And a doily.- And a doily. - SELLER: Oh, indeed.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Very WI.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Very... These are WI ladies. - You don't say.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31SELLER: I've got one actually that doesn't fold
0:12:31 > 0:12:34but it's in mahogany - I'll just show you that.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Please.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I was just thinking that's got no detail on it, and it would be
0:12:38 > 0:12:41nice to have something with a bit of beading or something, wouldn't it?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42What about this one?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45SELLER: That's a really nice one cos it's got the...
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- This is a nice one.- Shall we bear it in mind...?- Bear it in mind.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52What would be your best price on, for example, that one?
0:12:52 > 0:12:53SELLER: I'd do that for 35.
0:12:53 > 0:12:5635. So you know, girls, that you can...?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59That could be our come back if we can't find anything else.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Definitely.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Having your cake and eating it, eh, Reds?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Time's getting on, you know. The Blues are belting ahead.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Every single section is hallmarked. - So, it's... Oh, it's a silver belt.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Yeah.- A bit like a line dancing cowboy belt, isn't it?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I don't think it would go round a modern waist, today.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It looks more like a dog collar, don't you think?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- No, it's not a dog collar. - How much is the belt, please?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- SELLER: 200. - £200, that really is...- Too much.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31SELLER: Every single piece is hallmarked, and all with birds.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- What sort of age?- This has got to be round about, what, 1870?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39SELLER: Yeah. I think it's London hallmarked for 1874/1875.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Oh, I'm impressed.- Well done, you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44SELLER: That's why he's the expert.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48It's very much a...revive Rococo,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52which is an element of the Arts And Crafts movement,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55cos each one is contained within this square section.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I can't see without my glasses. I'm as blind as a bat.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59That's a very, very nice piece, that.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- But it's a lot of money. - It is, isn't it?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- It is a lot of money.- OK, David, time's ticking on. What do you think?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Can we make a profit at this at auction or...?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Right, now, just think what we've looked at.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- You've looked at that tea service, which was 110.- Yes.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19- You've looked at the book stand... - Yes.- ..which was at?- 80, was it?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- £80.- Round about 80.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25And then you've got this, which is twice as much,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27but you've got the quality here cos it's silver.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30But is it sellable? And we've got to make a decision quickly. Time's ticking on.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34For a collector, it's a desirable piece. Is that the best you can do?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37You couldn't do 140 for us?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40SELLER: I'd do 150 and I'm making a loss - I paid 165 for it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Just look at it. Have you seen another one like this?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Shall we go for it. Let's have this as our big buy.- All right.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Go on, we'll have this as our big buy.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- We'll go for that. - We'll go for that.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51We'll go for that. You seem to like it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53We're going to trust you on this one.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Let's hope your trust is well placed, girls.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04We've got one more object to find and we've only got 20 minutes,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07so I'm going to take five minutes to get from one pavilion to
0:15:07 > 0:15:11another - that means 15 minutes left.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Come on. Come on. - We're running out of time!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16And they're off with two in the bag.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Those Reds have got some catching up to do.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- There's no glass.- No glass in it, OK.- Leave it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Yes, leave it, Reds.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Tick tock.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Oh, we like. - It's quite worn though, isn't it?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36But then it's old.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Of course it's old.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Now, Anita needs answers, Reds.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42What do you want to do?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46We definitely would like the one with the beading on it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- The cake stand.- The mahogany one.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53See if you can get another couple of quid off it, girls.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Go and ask him.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Can you take another couple of pounds off it for us, please?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00SELLER: I said 35 - I'll do it for 30.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03BOTH: Oh, thank you!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06They wanted a cake stand and they got a cake stand,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10but they've still got over £200 to spend. Wow.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12We need to spend a bit of money now.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I think we may...a big splash of cash,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18cos we want to make a profit.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20We'll get a real wow item now, I think.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22That's what we're after.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23A wow item? Sounds good.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Oh. What's the best you can do on that, sir?
0:16:29 > 0:16:30SELLER: That one, £75.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Heaven's sake. Why £75 on that? - SELLER: Cos it's perfect.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36What would you do with that, David? Put it over...
0:16:36 > 0:16:42No, it goes under the plate. Think in terms of a large meat platter.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Yeah.- That goes on the meat platter, you put the joint on there,
0:16:46 > 0:16:50all the juices go through and end up in the depression at the end
0:16:50 > 0:16:52of the dish, and you spoon it onto your food.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- How old is that?- This one dates from about the 1840 period.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And what would it make in auction? Cos that's quite expensive, isn't it?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Have we got enough money for that? We maybe haven't.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- It won't make that money. - SELLER: I say it will.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Can I have your name and address?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07So what price was that best price?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- SELLER: The best price...70. - 70.
0:17:10 > 0:17:1265?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- You're just packing up, sir. - 65, save you taking it home.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17SELLER: I think it cost me 60.
0:17:17 > 0:17:2065, you're making a fiver profit - there you go - and you're on telly.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23SELLER: OK, as I'm packing up.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Do you think that's a good buy? - Do you like that?- Yes, I do.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- It's blue and white, and I like blue and white.- That's you, isn't it?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I think it's a nice strainer plate.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The design here, the ruins, very similar to Copeland Spode
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Italian ruins, but this is much earlier.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40How much do you think that will make, David?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I think it's going to make around 70 at auction,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- so you're making a great deal of profit.- We'll make something.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Do you like that?- Yeah, I like this. - I think you should go for it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Yeah, OK. £60 we said.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52SELLER: It's a good thing for a dresser, super.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Thank you very much, sir, that's very kind.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'm sorry we disturbed your packing up.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Thank you.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03What did I say about that Pam? Good haggling or what?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07That's the Blues all finished. Now, have the Reds found their wow item?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09WHISPERS: It's gorgeous.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12SELLER: It's got some crazing on the inside but I love it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- That's really beautiful. - I really, really like it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Tell me what you like about it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I just love the design, the way the bird's
0:18:21 > 0:18:24feathers sweep out this way across the pot.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25It shouts Arts And Crafts.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29It shouts pure design of that period, doesn't it?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Well, you have the peacock here -
0:18:30 > 0:18:35that is a popular motif of the Arts And Crafts, the Aesthetic period.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- It's gorgeous.- The girls have fallen in love with it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40SELLER: Right. I'll wrap it up.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42ALL LAUGH
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I really like it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Could do you any better than 60, please?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48SELLER: 60's the best.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50That's your absolute.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52What do you think, Anita?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I think we need to spend a bit of money, don't we?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55I think it's absolutely beautiful.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And if we're going to spend some money,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01we might as well spend it on something we really, really love.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04You're both smiling. You've fallen in love with it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Absolutely, we love it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Do you want to go for that?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Definitely. - How much have we got left?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Erm...225 left.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14We could go for the three things together.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Could we have the whole set? - Yes!- How much are they?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20SELLER: £90 the pair.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22And that's 60. 150.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Now, we love the jardiniere and we love the vases.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29If we bought all of them together...
0:19:29 > 0:19:33SELLER: If you bought the three, it would be 120.
0:19:33 > 0:19:40- Girls, £120 for all three of them. - We've got to do it.- I think so.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41I think they're lovely.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Girls, we've got our three items.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45We've done it, in time!
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Now, what would ladies of the WI do
0:19:47 > 0:19:51when they'd completed a task successfully?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Er...they'd go and lay down on a chaise longue.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Have a nice cup of tea and a few wee fairy cakes.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Oh, let's go then, girls!
0:19:59 > 0:20:01ALL LAUGH
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Tea and cakes all round then.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07That decisive pair knew just what they wanted, and here's a reminder.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13It ain't Arts And Crafts, not is it Art Nouveau, but it is a lacquer
0:20:13 > 0:20:17desk set dating from the early 20th century and bought for £45.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19True to their WI ethos,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23the team opted for an Edwardian mahogany cake stand at £30.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Will it get its just desserts at auction, though?
0:20:27 > 0:20:28And, shouting Arts And Crafts,
0:20:28 > 0:20:34this decorative planer with matching vases was a bit of a gamble at £120.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Weren't we lucky? - You excelled yourself with that one.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41It's so lovely to see such happy customers. Have you had a good shop?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- We have had a wonderful shop, Tim. - And you, Haze?- Yes, very much.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Which is your favourite piece?
0:20:47 > 0:20:52I think the last item that we bought - the vases and the jardiniere.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55That's your favourite.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56- That's the favourite.- What about you?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Exactly the same - the ceramics. Yeah, lovely.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01You agree about everything, you two, do you?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02BOTH: Yeah, most of the time.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04BOTH LAUGH
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- WI.- And they say the same thing simultaneously.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Well, we just want to win a pin.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12We don't care about the money, we just want to win a pin.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14You want a pin - how sweet.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Anyway, how much did you spent all round, Jenny?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- How much did we spend?- 195.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- 195. Haze, can I have £105, please? - Yes.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26£150, that goes straight without hesitations or repetition to
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Anita Manning. What are you going to do with it?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Well, I'm not sure what I'm going to buy,
0:21:30 > 0:21:36but I know that the girls will want me to spend every single penny.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Absolutely.- You rather like doing that though, don't you?
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Yes, she said.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44OK, go and have a nice warming cup of tea, girls, and good luck, Anita.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Meanwhile, we're going to remind ourselves what the Blue team
0:21:47 > 0:21:48bought, aren't we?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52They couldn't afford the Moorcroft but hoped this bright yellow
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Aesthetic planter would prove a worthy alternative at £20.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58We'll see.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01An unusual thing, this, a late 19th century leather
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and silver ladies' belt.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07They paid a whopping £150 - let's hope it wasn't a waste of money.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12And much to Monica's delight, the found a piece of blue and white.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15This Staffordshire meat drainer, bought for £60.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I don't think we'll make money on it but I like it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Maybe not, but it's quality. It's quality, quality.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29You really are welded up from the hip, you two.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34- We are, yes.- So lovely, families. It's like one big happy family.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Yes, all the same height.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39So, what did you spend all round?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- £230.- That is such a good result, £239. I'm proud of you.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- £70, please of left-over lolly. - There you go.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49£70, that's still worthwhile going out with, isn't it, David?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Oh, yes. I want to buy either a pair or identical objects,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55because we have two marvellous sisters here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Well, that's a nice theme. Good luck with all of that.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Meanwhile, we're heading off to the frozen north, to
0:23:00 > 0:23:04the borders of England and Scotland, actually.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Set in the stunning countryside of the Scottish borders is
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Bowhill House.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Home to the Dukes of Buccleuch, it's been handed down through successive
0:23:17 > 0:23:20generations and they all added to the wonderful
0:23:20 > 0:23:23collections on display throughout the house,
0:23:23 > 0:23:28and there's one room in particular I really want to show you today.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34And it is...the morning room.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Typically positioned to capture the morning light,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42this was the lair of the ladies of the house.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Where they would come to read, do a little bit of crochet,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49all those ladylike pursuits.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51But it's got an Oriental twist, this room,
0:23:51 > 0:23:56most patently obvious in the wallpaper, which is a continuous
0:23:56 > 0:24:00scene of hand-painted Chinese wallpaper
0:24:00 > 0:24:03dating from the end of the 18th century.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06In fact, quite a lot of this wallpaper was
0:24:06 > 0:24:10exported from China because it was popular here.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Each piece is painted by hand, then butted and joined together
0:24:14 > 0:24:16so that you get a continuous landscape.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18The Chinese workshop was organised
0:24:18 > 0:24:22so that specialist painters did certain bits of the wallpaper,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24and you have to admire the artist
0:24:24 > 0:24:27who created all these delicious pionees.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Perfectly formed with their multi-coloured, fleshy leaves.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37The artist who created the bamboo did so in quite big sections,
0:24:37 > 0:24:43but each frond finishes with those typical spiky thin green leaves.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47And perhaps the most skilful is these birds.
0:24:47 > 0:24:53The lovely varieties of exotic Chinese birds scattered throughout
0:24:53 > 0:24:56the wallpaper, I think, are particularly charming.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00But it's not only the wallpaper that's got an Oriental twist.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Looks really Oriental, doesn't it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09All these figures.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11These Mandarin characters -
0:25:11 > 0:25:16the Emperor at the top being fanned to keep him cool.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20All within an incredibly complicated building,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23with other courtiers outside on a veranda.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27But that panel only applies to that width.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Move up a notch and we've got a completely different building.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36We've got some other characters playing a game of chess or backgammon.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Until we get to the next section,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40where we have something completely different.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Unlike the Chinese wallpaper, which was created
0:25:45 > 0:25:49in a continuous scene, this piece of furniture
0:25:49 > 0:25:52has a number of disparate scenes.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Go down below and look at the drawers and it's even more obvious.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00That bottom drawer shows a blue kimono.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04But the bloke who's wearing it has been decapitated.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Next drawer up - we've got a bit of a building with one or two figures.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12The next drawer up we've got the part of the building
0:26:12 > 0:26:15which is nothing to do with the building on the drawer down below.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17And then this long drawer -
0:26:17 > 0:26:21we're back into this business of having sections
0:26:21 > 0:26:26of this and that butted up against one another in a completely discordant way.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29So what's going on here? Is this Oriental?
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Well, it is, in part, but it started off life coming from China,
0:26:34 > 0:26:40probably around about 1650-1680, in the form of a screen.
0:26:40 > 0:26:46With perhaps six or eight tall, 12-inch wide panels,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49which were in lacquer and hinged together.
0:26:49 > 0:26:55So, that zig-zag pattern type draught screen was what came from China.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And when it arrived here, a craftsman...
0:26:58 > 0:27:02And this thing is attributed to Gerrit Jensen.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05..cut it up and created the desk.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10He did that because the flavour of the moment was Oriental things
0:27:10 > 0:27:14and the screen gave him the basic raw material to create
0:27:14 > 0:27:17something that's very Oriental looking.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Although the carcass of the thing he made here in Britain,
0:27:21 > 0:27:27in about 1680 - so it's part European and part Oriental.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31All incredibly complicated but very interesting.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The big question today is, is it going to be complicated, or interesting,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38or just plain profitable for our teams over at the auction?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Let's hope all three, eh?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45A worthwhile slog down south
0:27:45 > 0:27:47brings us to Leicestershire for today's sale.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Well, I can't tell you what a treat it is to be in Market Harborough -
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Gilding's Sale Room with Mark Gilding.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- Mark, how are you? - Very well, Tim, how are you?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57How are the sales going? Pretty good?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Yeah, very good - very busy at the minute.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Anyway, for our Red team today,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03the first item is this lacquered desk set.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Which is very much of the 1930s and very much from the Orient.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Yes, an export piece. Art deco looking, pagodas on the front there.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16- But not of great quality.- No, I mean, quite poor quality, actually.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19When you think of how fine Oriental lacquer can be,
0:28:19 > 0:28:24we have come down the ladder quite steeply with this particular piece.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Yes, I think you're right.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Anyway, they paid £45, do you think they might make a small profit?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I think they might make a small profit - £50-60.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Is the estimate - fair enough. Next, is the Edwardian folding cake stand.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40I mean, you couldn't underdecorate a thing more than that, could you?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- No, it's a standard model. - Still, you get what you pay for.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45They paid £30, might they make a small profit on that?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Yeah, I think a small profit again - £30-£40.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Lovely. That's that then.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Lastly, we've got this,
0:28:51 > 0:28:56which includes a pair of vases like that and the jardiniere.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- It's a bit black for my taste. - Yeah, pretty ghastly, I think.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- Do you?- Yeah, really not for me at all.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Do you think it's Belgian...or northern France?
0:29:05 > 0:29:06Somewhere like that?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Yeah, a continental pottery, fairly loosely decorated.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13So, putting your most bullish and brave hat on, Mark...
0:29:13 > 0:29:14THEY CHUCKLE
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- What's your estimate on that? - £30-40.- Well done.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- They paid £120. We could all be horribly wrong, right?- Yeah.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24There could be a huge market upswing for black,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26dark-glazed ceramic like this.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Well, the bidders, through the internet,
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- on the continent may go for it and want it back.- Exactly right.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35On the basis of your estimate and our gut feeling - they're
0:29:35 > 0:29:38in trouble with this and they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40So, let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Hazel and Jenny...a legend.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47You spent £195 - £105 went to Anita Manning.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50What did you spend it on, Anita?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Ta-da!- Oh!- Well...
0:29:53 > 0:29:57I've bought a lovely pair of birds for a pair of lovely birds(!)
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Oh, we like, we like.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- Lovely.- They're 19th century and they are beautifully modelled.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- What are they made of, Anita? - They're made of spelter.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- How much did you pay for them? - I spent £105, so I spent everything.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- You blew it?- I blew it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Great, we like that, we like that - we like splashing the cash.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- It's an investment, isn't it? - Exactly.- They're in perfect order.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- And how much do you think they'll do at auction?- What do you reckon?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Oh, I'd like to think that they would make a reasonable profit
0:30:27 > 0:30:32- of...£20/£30.- Hmm.- Well, bravo, Anita, for blowing the lot.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- We're all for that! - You pick later, if you want to,
0:30:35 > 0:30:37but let's find out whether the auctioneer
0:30:37 > 0:30:40also thinks that these birds have got the wind up their tail.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Right then, Mark, here's your ornithology test.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Identification of birds, please.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- For me, this is a cassowary. - And I've got the grebe.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53And you've got the grebe.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56There we go, they're not exactly related but nicely cast, aren't they?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Yeah, they're quite good quality, these.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03- Probably late 19th century.- What's your estimate?- I've said 60-80.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07OK, £105 Anita Manning paid. She rates them.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12OK, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Pam and Monica.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Their first item is the yellow jardiniere that looks
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- just like Burmantofts, but it ain't. - No, it's not, unfortunately.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- What's it worth, do you think? - £25-£40.- Great - £20 paid.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24I mean, for a bright and breezy,
0:31:24 > 0:31:28lovely canary-yellow jardiniere, that is no money, is it?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- No, it's not - good value. - Good value.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35Next, is the ladies' silver belt. What a "belter" that is!
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Yeah, that's really great. Really like that.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38- It's good, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41You cannot dream of a better quality, silver-mounted,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43leather belt - I'm just knocked out by it.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Yeah, you've just got to have a very small waist for this one.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Or put your corset on.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51But seriously, the whole linkage, the leather,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54the whole thing reeks of somebody important.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- Yeah, it's 1870s, perhaps early 1880s.- How much?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- I've got an estimate here of 80-120.- Really?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Well, £150 was paid, but if it gets picked up,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- it could do considerably better. - Yes, I agree.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09What about the strainer?
0:32:09 > 0:32:11I don't think we stand much chance with that one.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- From the good to the bad. - Yes. Well, it's not cracked.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Lovely colours - blue and white.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I'm trying to think of all the nice things to say.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Yeah, good condition but a straight forward, sort of pastoral,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- landscape scene on it.- Yes. - And just not really collectible -
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- these things...are not as strong as they were.- So, what's your estimate?
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- 20-30.- £60 paid. It's all going to depend on that belt for these guys.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Depending on how that goes, they may or may not need their bonus buy,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Right, girls, this is the moment, isn't it?- It is.- Yes.- Excitement.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- It is.- Very.- You spent 230 and you gave him 70.- Yes.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- What did you spend it on, David?- I spent the lot.- Did you?- On this box.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51But if I open it up...
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- Oh!- Ooh, that's lovely!
0:32:54 > 0:32:56..there we have these little gold-mounted,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59mother-of-pearl hat pins.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03And just to complete the dress, you've got three little buttons
0:33:03 > 0:33:06to match, complete with their original rings.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10If they wore one of those little stock stops, or a little tie,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- that would go across. So, that... - Is absolutely beautiful.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19- They're gorgeous.- It really is. Oh, it's lovely.- But aren't they lovely?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22How much do you the profit will be on those?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- I'd like to see them go for about 90-100.- Are they gold?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27I'm not sure whether the auction house has tested it,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30but I understand they're gold. But they are nice, aren't they?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- Oh, they are.- The way you lot are going on,
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I should think they'll probably make 300!
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- They're worth it.- Let's hope they do.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40On that happy note, for the viewers at home, let's find out
0:33:40 > 0:33:43whether the auctioneer is similarly enthusiastic.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45There you go, Mark.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Something for the weekend.- Well, a good set, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Yeah, hat pins and buttons all fitted in the case.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55And a little brooch, it's all ready to go.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- Yeah, it's got the right look about it.- And...how much do you think?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I'm thinking £50-£70.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04David Barby paid £70 out of his leftover lolly,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06in the hope that he'd make a superior profit on it.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11- Who knows, he might yet.- Absolutely, could well do.- Be positive.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12Thank you very much, Mark.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16MUSIC OVER AUCTION
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- Now, Hazel/Jen, how are you feeling? - Great.- Absolutely great, yes.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Really excited!- You're almost matching in everything, aren't you?
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- Absolutely.- Black arrangements and your red tops - very smart.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- So, are you predicting big profits today then, Haze?- I don't know.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- You don't think so?- No.- Anything you regret buying, Jenny?- No.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- No, because we bought things we loved.- We did.- Yes.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Splashed the cash! - "Splashed the cash."
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Well, you certainly did that - £195. The lacquered desk set.- Yes.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- He has estimated £50-£70. - Oh.- You paid £45.
