0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today, we're in walking country in Mid Wales,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11in the beautiful county of Powys.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15- HE INHALES - Great hills, rolling countryside, superb views, but we're not
0:00:15 > 0:00:20here for a hike or a holiday. Oh, no! Let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Our teams today really are going to have their work cut out because
0:00:55 > 0:01:00there's over 1,000 trade stalls here at the Royal Welsh Showground.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05So, Reds and Blues, prepare yourselves for a bit of a trek.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Let's have a quick peek at what's coming up.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12On today's show, the stallholders bust some moves.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Can you move a bit on this?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17THEY LAUGH
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Steady. And the teams get happy haggling.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- What's the very best you can do? - I was looking for very close to that.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Four for 15?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30But will they be happy or bust at the auction?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33110. At £110... GAVEL THUDS
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Let's meet the teams.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Today, we've got old mates Kevin and Ian,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47and for the Blues, we've got schoolmates Alex and Alex.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Hi, everybody.- ALL: Hello! - Very nice to see you.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Now, Kevin, you two have been mates for an incredibly long time.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Yes, since our wives got married and just before, really.- Really?- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Our wives were big friends through junior school and whatever.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08- And your friendship was imported into your marriage? - "Imported"! That's a very good word.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Isn't it nice when it works out like that?- It is, actually, yes. - Very good.- Lucky!- Yeah, quite.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Kevin, you're a driving instructor. - That's true.- Tell us about that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23- It's interesting. You meet loads of different people, different ages.- You don't suffer from bad nerves at all?
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- No, I think that would be a disaster in the job.- Well, that's pretty good, then.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30You don't suffer from nerves and you don't take tablets?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33If you live in Merthyr, you can't suffer from nerves!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You said that, not me!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- OK, now, Ian, it says you're a careers adviser.- I am, yes.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Where do you do that? - In Pontypool College at the moment.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Yeah?- Yeah. It's a brilliant job, absolutely fantastic.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47You like to have a bit of a play yourself, don't you?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I'm a toy collector, and I do enjoy collecting the toys.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I've never grown up. It's one of those things.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I've never grown up from being a child.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59- What sort of toys do you go for? - Now, it's changed slightly.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It used to be the Airfix stuff that you used to build and collect yourself.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- Now it's more collectable car items. - Do you know about the values of these things?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Do you know what they're worth? - Yeah, a few of them.- Good.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Now, tactics-wise, what's your game plan between the two of you?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Spend mean and keep 'em keen. - You naughty boys!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Anyway, I hope you have fun.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Meanwhile, for the Blues... I should think you're quaking in your boots, aren't you,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- after that lot?- I'm not too scared. - You're not?- We can handle it.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Now you met at school? - That's correct.- Yes. - And was that a big joke at school -
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Alex met Alex and Alex met Alex?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- We didn't really hang around much in school.- We knew each other.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It became more of a joke when we actually got together.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Yeah, it is kind of cute, though, isn't it? Alex going out with Alex?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Do you think that's cute? I think it is.- To a certain extent. - Everyone else seems to think so.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- Now, Alex boy, you work in the insurance industry?- Yeah, that's correct.- Tell us about that.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I deal with car insurance, bike insurance, van insurance, home insurance,
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- every insurance known to man. - So the insurance industry is what you get up to?
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- Yeah.- That's what pays you your crust. But you're incredibly into collecting, too, aren't you?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Yeah, I collect absolutely everything. I literally have got a serious problem.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- It's almost borderline addiction. - Is it?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17What's your absolute favourite thing, when it comes to buying stuff?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Probably my Volkswagen Beetle. - What, the real one?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Yeah, the real one, genuine, not a new one.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Not a newbie, definitely an old one. It's a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle.
0:04:27 > 0:04:34- Do you get envious glances at the lights?- No, it's generally people... - Looking sorry for you!- Yeah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Especially when it decides it's going to stall or something like that.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Yeah. Now, Alex, you're a student studying English.- Yes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Where are you doing that? - The University of Gloucestershire, in Cheltenham.- Are you?- Yes.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- A nice place to be, Cheltenham. - Yes, it is nice.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50And what are you going to do with it when you've finished your degree course?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Hopefully go into journalism.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55It says here you've got a Beetle, too.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Yeah, but I didn't buy that - Alex bought me that.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- We'd only been going out for about two months.- It was three months.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Don't make me out to be this terrible person. Yeah, it was for her 18th birthday. I bought her a Beetle.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- He sounds like the Alex from heaven to me.- Oh, he is.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Provider of cars and clutter.- Gifts. - I mean, this is just unbelievable.
0:05:14 > 0:05:20- Are you going to have fun today? - Definitely.- Yes, can't wait.- Right, the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Here you go. There's your £300. You know the rules, your experts await,
0:05:23 > 0:05:28and off you go. Very, very good luck. I always loved the Beetle, me.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34So, here's a quick stroll through the rules,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38courtesy of our resident experts, David Barby and Chris Gower.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40The teams have just one hour
0:05:40 > 0:05:44and £300 to buy three things to send to auction.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46And the winners are those that make
0:05:46 > 0:05:49the biggest profit or the smallest loss.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Simple, eh?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Now, Alex...- BOTH: Yes!
0:05:53 > 0:05:57You're both called Alex, aren't you? That's going to be difficult.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Kevin, you're a driving instructor.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Do you think you'll guide us around this huge fair today?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- It shouldn't be a problem.- Safely? - Safely? Most certainly.- I hope so.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- So what are you going to look for? Bakelite? - Yes, anything '30s, '40s, '20s.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- So, are you looking for toys today? - I will be.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I'm very passionate about toys and I'd really like to get some if I can.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Pin-up posters, tin posters, jewellery.- Oh, jewellery!
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- The Joan Crawford type.- Yes. - We've got a job on our hands, actually.- Anything sparkly.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Sparkly. Right. OK, let's make a start, because we've got a lot to look at.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Let's go and look for them. Come on, lads.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34That's it, teams. Get to it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37There's a lot of ground to cover here and time flies on this show.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- The hour will be up in two shakes of a lamb's tail. - SHEEP BLEATS
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Hello.
0:06:42 > 0:06:49- What about that? Could you teach somebody to drive on one of those?- I don't think so.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Toys and driving. Something for you both here, Reds, eh?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- Not for your driving school! Come on.- Well, maybe not.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- A rocking horse.- It's a rocking horse, it's nice, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Obviously, been loved a lot.- You can see a lot of wear and tear on it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I think there have been a few adults on there, apart from the kids!
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I would say, actually, it falls into a toy category.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- It does, yeah.- I've got it on good authority...- Yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20..Lester may have had something to do with that.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22What, the town or the actual rider?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24THEY LAUGH
0:07:24 > 0:07:25I'm sorry!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I think it might be small enough for Mr Pigott.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31£40 though, is that a bit expensive?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Well, we can ask, can you move a bit on this?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39The beat's there, I think,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41but I don't know that that's what he meant.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I'll do you a great deal, because there's a good bit of age on it,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46we could probably knock you a couple of pounds of.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- It's '20s, isn't it, I would say. - Yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I could do it for £36. I think...
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- That's exactly 10%. - I think that's a good one.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Do you think that's a good one?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00It's not rocking Kevin's world...
0:08:00 > 0:08:04It's decorative, it's colourful, anything to do with nursery,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08childhood, always a good seller, it's got age,
0:08:08 > 0:08:12it's probably Continental, probably German, I would say...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- I'd rather have it for £30. - I bet you would!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19But, it's Ian in the saddle here, will he be a finisher or a faller?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I can't. You're a very, very nice man.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I'm a VERY, VERY nice man.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- You don't know him! - Well, he appears to be.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'll do it for 35, you've got another quid
0:08:29 > 0:08:32and that's the very, very best.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- It's up to you.- Your choice. - I'll have that.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37£35, thank you very much.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Great, we're happy with that, thank you, sir.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Thanks very much.- Well done, Reds!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Maybe Kevin can be in the driver's seat next time.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Our Blues are after something sparkly...
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Is that a brooch?- It's a brooch, we mentioned about brooches.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- That's the pebble brooch, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- What are the stones? - Well, these are all agates,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00you've got bloodstone there, cornelia there,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03probably cairngorm or a paste stone.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05What's the price on that, sir?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- It's got £110 on it. - Oh! What's your very best?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11£100 would be the absolute best, I'm afraid.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Hmmm. Not sparkly enough, it seems.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Will we have a look in? Come on. - Yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Did you say you wanted to go upstairs or downstairs?- Both!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Kevin, you've got to scour the whole place!
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Would those be on your wavelength, Blues?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30It's not fine art, but I think we could go for something like this.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- I do really like those. - Which one do you like?
0:09:33 > 0:09:34They're both the same.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- That one's in better condition, it isn't missing a screw.- Right. OK.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Do you want to have a look at that? - Yes.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- I do really like that. - Yeah, definitely.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49It's got a nice turn dial as well.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I'm guessing, because it's in the case, '40s or '50s.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Hold on to that, admire it,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- I'm going to have a quick word with the dealer.- OK.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04The radio, you've got £30 on it,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06what's the very best you can do?
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- We could do it for 25.- 25? Is that the very, very best?
0:10:11 > 0:10:17- Would you do it for 22? - OK, all right. 22, yes. That's fine.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Thank you very much.- £22.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I think, for the right buyer, it'd be worth that, definitely.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- I like all this, it's very functional, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- It's very neat.- Minimalistic. Neat is that expression.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34So, this is typical, late '50s coming into the '60s.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Yeah.- I think that's quite good.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I think it was very well spotted and it's right up your street.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Yeah. Definitely.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42You're tuned to Radio Wonnacott.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46A big congratulations shout out to the Blues, on their first purchase.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Keep going. 15 minutes gone already.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Right, let's pay for it and go.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Again, it's toys and cars.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Something for both boys here, surely?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Well, this is your area of expertise here.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Yeah.- These look pretty good to me.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Yeah, there's some nice stuff. I'm looking more at the Vanguard stuff.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06It's really in mint condition, good boxes, etc.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- These are quite good? - Yeah, they're pretty good.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- How much should that be? - £15, maybe £20.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15It depends what they're going to ask us for it,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17to make some profit on it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19That's what do you think you'd get at auction, right?
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- This one looks nice and it's more of a collectors item, as well.- Is it?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You might even get an extra five or ten quid on that one.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29How old would they be or are they replicas?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- '60s, '70s...- But they would be made then as well?- Yeah.- Right.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Should we ask?- What sort of price are these?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I could do them for £5 each.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- That's quite nice. - What if we bought a few as one lot,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44would be a possibility?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Yeah, I could do them for £4, then.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- For three items, you could do £4 pounds each?- £12. Yeah. £12.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- Well, what do you think?- I think that's probably a good buy. Yeah.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Four for £15. - Cor! Talk about a change of gear!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Don't stall the deal here now, Ian!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Yeah.- OK.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Four for 15? All right? Deal, done?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Thanks very much.- Thank you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Neatly driven home by Ian, there. Well done, Reds.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Now, we're nearly halfway through, it's Reds one, Blues two.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Let's put the pedal on the metal, teams.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- Scottie Wilson. That's slap, bang in your period?- Yeah.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23It's very nice, nice colours.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27The design was not popular at the time.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31And he was an Indian and the designs are Indian.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33They're all based on indigenous American Indians.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37So that's why you have a sort of totem pole in the middle.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41You normally find it in terracotta and black.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43This is the first time I've seen it in this multi-colour.
0:12:43 > 0:12:49It's all framed up so it makes it look more expensive than it actually is.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55I think at 85 you've got 110, at 85, it's quite distinctive for the period you're looking at.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Definitely. >
0:12:56 > 0:12:59And that is Royal Worcester.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- I'm not certain that's going to make the money at £80.- Oh, really? OK.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- I think that's slap bang in what you're looking for.- Yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08And again, I need to come back on that.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10So you've got the brooch and you've got that,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13so we've got two items lined up, if you can't find anything else.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Right, let's move on, very, very quickly.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Yes, indeed, Mr B, whilst those items remain un-bought, you're undone, so keep looking.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23The bargains are there if you dig about.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29Never let it be said that beautiful things can't be found in very, very, very plain packages.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35Look at it, it's a little grey, brown, rusting tin box.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39And if I open it up, inside we find one of the marvels
0:13:39 > 0:13:43of 19th-century Swiss engineering.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Because what's inside this completely alien box,
0:13:47 > 0:13:52is a miniature Swiss cylinder musical box.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55It's a piece of mechanical music-making that centres
0:13:55 > 0:14:01around a flatbed, which is the brass plate at the bottom,
0:14:01 > 0:14:06onto which all the whiz-bang mechanical bits are bolted.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And those include a cylinder,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12which is about two-and-a-half inches long in this instance.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17And if you look very carefully, sticking up out of the brass cylinder
0:14:17 > 0:14:21are a lot of tiny, little steel pinheads.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25As the cylinder goes round by clockwork,
0:14:25 > 0:14:32so each of those thousands of little pins pluck a note on the bar,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35which is divided with all these teeth.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39And what it will do at the end of the day, is to play the most
0:14:39 > 0:14:44delightful air, or tune, you would ever be likely to hear.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49And the other thing I liked when I glanced at it on the dealer's stand,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52was this little label.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57£12, ladies and gentlemen, is the price you would pay
0:14:57 > 0:15:02a dealer on a stall down there for this supremely good
0:15:02 > 0:15:06piece of Victorian Swiss musical engineering.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08What's it worth?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Well, in a silver or gold box, it would be worth £1,500-£2,000.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18In a rough old tin box like this for somebody to find a more
0:15:18 > 0:15:24appropriate box to put it in, it must be worth £300-£400.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29So there you have it, £12 down there, £300-£400 up here.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Now that's what I call music to my ears.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The pace for our teams has gone decidedly up-tempo.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39There's less than 20 minutes left.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I am actually getting concerned.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I think I'm getting a bit concerned as well.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49It's going to get to the point when we're rushing around looking for actually something to buy.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53So, I'm starting to panic, actually. I think David's starting to panic as well.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Come on, Blues, you need a tip from David.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59This is something unusual, it really is.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I've never seen anything like it before.
0:16:01 > 0:16:08It is intended to be on a desk, in a club, or in a restaurant, or hotel
0:16:08 > 0:16:10and you're supposed to put your tip there.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I think it's quite nice, actually, don't you?
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Yeah, it's very unique, definitely.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19It's got some age to it. I think it's probably mid-to-late Victorian.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22It's heavy, it's a good, heavy weight.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24And you've got all this cut, carved brass work here,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27which is in lovely condition.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31You've got a good solid plate that screws onto this mahogany section.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35And then this cylindrical is where you placed your tip, your money.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41Your sixpence, your thrupenny piece, your pennies would go in there, or maybe guineas would go in there.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- You would unscrew it at the side, do you see that?- OK, yeah.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49To release the tube. I think it's quite unusual.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Yeah, I do quite like it.- At £48, how much have we spent so far?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- 22.- £22.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Unusual, quirky objects sell.- Yeah, OK.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I think we could dish that on the price though, possibly.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Should try it out anyway? - Right, follow me.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Go on, then, Blues, see if you can knock off the service charge.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14It's got £48 on it. What's the very best you can do?
0:17:14 > 0:17:19The very best, I was looking for sort of 43.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- I know you're not going to pay me that, Mr Barby.- 35?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I can't do it.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- The very best I'll go for is... - What about 38?
0:17:27 > 0:17:32No, I can't, I don't mind you knowing, I paid 35 for it so I need 40 on it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36- What do you think?- I like it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I think it's fun and I think it's quirky.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Yeah, I like it.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- OK, shall we go for it? - Yes, let's got for it, yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Thank you very much, sir. - Thank you.- Cheers.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Well done, team that's two down.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52But you're not at the cheese course yet.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57This is certainly weighty, but do you know how to tell the difference
0:17:57 > 0:17:59between spelter and bronze?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02The temperature is cooler for bronze?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Yeah, you hold it and if it never goes warm in your hand,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09that's bronze.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Any other material will go warm with your skin heat and body temperature.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- So this is bronze. So, we like her, don't we?- Yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Certainly of the period, 1920s.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22On a nice, marble base, I like her a lot.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Yeah.- Let's see, how much is she?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- HE LAUGHS - 325.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Well, with £250 left, you're going to need one heck of a haggle, Reds.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Shall we move on? Nice as you are, my darling...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39You don't think we'll be able to get 75 quid off do you?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Do you want to ask?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Yeah, worth a choke, do you think?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Kevin, ask the dealer what his best price is.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Sir? What's your best price on the bronze?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'll have to have a quick look on the back.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59If I tell you how much we've got, would that help?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It'll help, I'm not sure it'll work, but it'll help.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06We're talking way under 300.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I can do under 300... Go on, what you got?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10About 230?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13- Go on.- Yeah?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Yeah.- Excellent.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18What? That was quick. I think he'd have had your arm off there, Ian.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20How much have you taken off?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22230, I've taken 230.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Are you happy with that?- Yeah, very.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29The opposition bought something nice earlier, but not as nice as that, so I prefer your team now.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Well, they spent more than five times as much,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34so no wonder he switched allegiances.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I think we should just enjoy our ice creams now, don't you?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41And watch the money roll in later on.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Well done, Reds, enjoy your rest.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Blues, you've got about three minutes.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46One more item, please, and quick!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51We need glamour, we need glamour.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Liking?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- The sideboard?- Or the chair?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Oh, no! Are you being serious?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Where was it? Where was it?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Wasn't it further towards the back, outside?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- I think we're going for the plate.- Yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Really? Do you like the plate?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Yes.- Definitely.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I think it's all its money. I think it's all its money.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I love the colour tones on it and it is signed, "Scotty."
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Anybody collecting Worcester will go for it.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Can you go and look at it? I'm going to have a word with the dealer.- OK.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I do like it. Hopefully other people will like it.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Right, come on, chaps. What do you say, £80?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- You going for it?- Definitely.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Definitely.- Thank you.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Oh, one each, David?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Never mind, Alex.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46There's a bit of a hint here, and it is...time's up!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:20:50 > 0:20:55First, they trotted off with a rocking horse for £35. Giddy up!
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Ian then sealed the deal with these boxed, 1960s toy cars for £15.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Finally, they blew nearly all of their remaining loot on this
0:21:04 > 0:21:08bronze figure, with its marble base.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Sometimes you've got to pay the price.- Take a chance, take a chance.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Paying the price is what it's all about, isn't it?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- And you've spent quite a lot today, you boys?- We did well, yes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- I did more of the spending than he did.- Yes, yes.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- What's the total, then? - 280, we spent.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26£280, that's magnificent, I'm so proud of you.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Who's got the £20 of leftover lolly, then?- Kevin.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Thank you very much, Kevin. Which is your favourite piece, Kev?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- My statue.- Your statue?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36And do you agree with that, Ian?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39My rocking horse, I'm partial to my rocking horse.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- £20 of leftover lolly, a little challenge?- A little challenge.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Any idea what you might buy?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Absolutely no idea, but it'll be just fabulous.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Anything will do.- Anything will do.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Good luck with that.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Meanwhile, we'll check out what the Blue team bought.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00The Blues tuned straight into the 1950s radio. £22 paid.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05Then they bagged this 19th-century brass tip box for £40.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Or whatever it is.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Finally, at the last minute, they bought this 1950s
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Royal Worcester plate for around £80.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- All right. Not too bad. - We've done OK.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17They all say they think they've done not too bad!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19We've got a nice bit of money left over, too.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- How much did you spend all-round? - £142.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Right. Which is your favourite piece?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- The first piece is my favourite piece. - I think the plate, to be honest.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- That's your favourite?- Yes. - Your favourite favourite.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Is that going to make the biggest profit?- Yes, definitely.- Do you agree with that, Alex?- Yeah, I do.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38My favourite is the cheapest, not the most expensive so...
0:22:38 > 0:22:43But you got a bit of a view which is marvellous. Anyway, £142 you spent.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I would like 158 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50- That's all of a clutch, isn't it? - Yes!- 158. I won't count it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- I'll hand it straight over to you, Barby.- That's rather hot and sweaty. - What can I say?
0:22:54 > 0:22:59What's your favourite moment, I was about to say, then you came up with the hot and sweaty.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- I don't really like that. - Shall I pass it back then?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- You're going to find your bonus buy. - I am.- Do you know what you're going to do?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Well, there's so much to look at here. It's incredible.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- So many stalls.- So many stalls and so little time.- Absolutely. Goodbye.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- You're going to have to shove-ovski, aren't you?- Goodbye.- Goodbye.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Meanwhile, we're going to shove-ovski too
0:23:16 > 0:23:18to somewhere absolutely divine.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent
0:23:32 > 0:23:36houses a surprisingly eclectic mix of artefacts.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39One of the most amazing of the collections was donated
0:23:39 > 0:23:43by an enthusiast and that's what I've come to see today.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Guess what this collector was really, really, really,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53really keen on?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56You've got it. Moo cows.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58HE LAUGHS
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Amazing, isn't it?
0:23:59 > 0:24:06A huge herd of over 600 of these cow creamers were donated
0:24:06 > 0:24:08to the museum by one woman.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Gabrielle Keiller was no ordinary lady.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19She was nicknamed the Marmalade Queen by friends
0:24:19 > 0:24:23because of her third marriage to one Alexander Keiller
0:24:23 > 0:24:25of the famed Keiller's marmalade family.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Alexander and Gabrielle shared a love of the bizarre
0:24:28 > 0:24:31and it was probably he who got her started on this collection,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33buying her the first one.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Aren't they amazing? I mean, en masse behind me,
0:24:37 > 0:24:42these things look like just a huge herd of cows.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47But for me, it's the detail that makes them so special.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49What exactly is a cow creamer?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Well, the description says, more or less, what it is.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57It's a vessel that's made to hold milk or cream
0:24:57 > 0:25:00that happens to be in the form of a cow.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04The cow creamer has a cover on its back
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and would have been filled with milk or cream.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Incline the cow creamer like that
0:25:08 > 0:25:11and the milk pours out of its mouth,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15and tee-hee-hee, would you like a little more milk?
0:25:15 > 0:25:20These things, it's thought, were given largely as novelty gifts.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25And as such, they have survived in reasonable quantities.
0:25:25 > 0:25:31What we have here is a date range of between about 1750 and 1850.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36The earliest of the ceramic ones is this fellow.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40And this is a Wheeldon-type colour scheme,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42perhaps dating from the 1770s.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45What I like about this moo cow is
0:25:45 > 0:25:49she's got double, curlicue horns, look,
0:25:49 > 0:25:54and then a sweet, little calf actually suckling down below
0:25:54 > 0:25:57and the cover, you can see if I remove it,
0:25:57 > 0:26:02is just a thin slab of shaped clay, very crudely made,
0:26:02 > 0:26:07but then decorated with a dove, a kind of peaceful dove.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12If you really were rich though in 1765,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15you could go for an example in silver.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20This one has come from the collection and is a lovely example.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24A little bit smaller, a little bit more refined, as you would expect,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27and, of course, it's got a lot of detail in the cover
0:26:27 > 0:26:31which won't fall off because it's hinged.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33That cover has been beautifully engraved
0:26:33 > 0:26:35in the form of a cartouche
0:26:35 > 0:26:38and in the middle of the cover it's got a big old fly,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40a horse fly, perhaps,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43that's about to bite the cow.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Do you know something? All these old cows
0:26:47 > 0:26:49have made me feel rather thirsty.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55And what could be more refreshing than a nice cup of tea?
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Do you take sugar? No, but I bet you take milk.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Now...
0:27:03 > 0:27:05HE GIGGLES
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Look at that!
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Marvellous. Of course, the big question today is,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13will our contestants be able to milk any profits over at the auction?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Well, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be in Malvern,
0:27:24 > 0:27:30- back in Serrell land, actually. How are you, Phil?- Sunny Malvern.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- It ain't sunny anywhere this year. - I'm really well, Tim. You? - Good. Delighted to be here.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Kevin and Ian, their first item,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- which is a challenge, is this rocking horse.- Yes.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43It's a good job it's tin and not live cos I think
0:27:43 > 0:27:45if it was live, they'd have shot it by now.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47It's missing those little handles on its head
0:27:47 > 0:27:50and I think it's one of the most awful things
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I've seen for a long time. How do you rate it?
0:27:52 > 0:27:56I think if we're lucky, we're going to try and go for the sympathy vote,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59we might me able to snag somebody at 20 or 30 quid, I was thinking.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00- Do you think so?- Possibly.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It would be just brilliant if you could because £35 was paid
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and they thought it had an outside chance.
0:28:05 > 0:28:11Next we got a boxed group of four cars, two of which are identical.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13That's just in case you lose the first two, isn't it?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- I would have, as a collector, preferred four different ones. - Four different ones, yeah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- But call me old fashioned. - Just being picky.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22So, we've got the boxes and we've got two pairs of cars.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Now, these have no age, these Vanguard jobbies, have they?- No.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- They're like ten or 20 quid's worth for the lot.- Fair enough. They paid £15 for them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- That's not too bad then. - It really isn't too bad, is it?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- So there is some hope there. - Yeah.- Lovely.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Now, the last item, I want you here, Phil, to take a deep breath.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- I want you to gird up your loins... - OK.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45..and come up with your very, very best highest price.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I think we'd be charitable at a tickle over 100 quid, really,
0:28:48 > 0:28:53cos I think I'm probably older than her by some distance.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- I would say a considerable distance. - That's not very nice!
0:28:57 > 0:28:58- No, seriously...- I'm very hurt.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03This thing came over in a container with about 25,000 others
0:29:03 > 0:29:07all wrapped up in polystyrene foam not so very long ago.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11At best, it's 120 quid's worth. At worst, it might be,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- I don't know, 40 or 50 quid, mightn't it?- And they paid £230.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19On that happy note, we're almost certain that they're going
0:29:19 > 0:29:22to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Kevin, Ian.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27What exactly do you suppose that Christophe
0:29:27 > 0:29:32spent your £20 of leftover lolly on? Shall we find out? OK, Chris.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Show us your wares.- Here we go.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Now, what do you think this hides?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Stirrup cups.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44Silver-plated stirrup cups. There's another one.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47There are four, actually. They're called stirrup cups
0:29:47 > 0:29:52because they were given to you once your feet were in the stirrups.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56These aren't all that old. They're about 1900, perhaps slightly later.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58And sherry or port would be drunk from it
0:29:58 > 0:30:01before you go off on your hunt. Nice idea?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04And they've got this little gizmo to store them in.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Why couldn't you use it before Bargain Hunt, then?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Why've you got to be on a horse?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12I think you can walk around a field and go hunting...for bargains.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- In which case, they'd be hunting cups.- Bargain-hunting cups.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- Exactly.- Lovely.- Did you blow all our £20?- You must have paid £20. - I did.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24I paid every penny of £20.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Nice with the gilt interiors, though, Chris.- Very nice.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- So they won't tarnish. Good quality sign.- Absolutely and very practical.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Well done, Chris. Thank you very much.- Good. - But for the audience at home,
0:30:34 > 0:30:38let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Chris's cups.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- That's very decent of you, Tim. Thank you.- Now, you're a sporting man, Philip.- Yes.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Very handy to take out on the shooting ground.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Yeah. What are they going to make? £15, £20 worth.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50We see them all the time, don't we? I mean, they'll quite...
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Well, they're empty, that's what they are, Tim.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57- Nice to have a gilt interior, though.- Yes.- I always think that's a bit of a quality sign.- I like those.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- What do you rate them at money-wise? - £15 to £20. £15 to £25.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Something like that.- Lovely.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Well, Chris paid £20 under a degree of pressure,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08so I think he's done well, really.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- I think you might just get out on those.- Good. Right.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Well, on that happy note then, that's it for the Reds.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16And now for the jolly old Blues. And what a mixture they've got.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Here's a radio set, look. 1950s. Said to be.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I suppose that's what it is.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- But this stuff is actually quite collectable, isn't it?- Yes.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27I think that's between £15 and £25 worth. Something like that.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- £22 paid.- Well, there's a chance, if we can find someone
0:31:31 > 0:31:36with the same romantic, misty memory that one DJ Barby has got... Yes.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- It's a piece of sculpture, isn't it? - Brilliant. Thank you for that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44Next, we've got the so-called brass and mahogany tip box.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Now, have you ever seen one of these before?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Well, I have, but it was fitted on a wall like that
0:31:49 > 0:31:50and I was seated at the time.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- It's a lavatory-paper holder. - You just sort of zip it down and...
0:31:55 > 0:32:00- It's described as a tip box.- Oh, right. OK. What did they pay for it?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Do you really want to know? - Yeah.- £40.
0:32:03 > 0:32:09- I think we'd put £30 to £50 on it, but who knows.- In a whiff of hope?
0:32:09 > 0:32:10- In a whiff of hope, yes.- OK.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Well, now, here's something that's going to warm you up a bit
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- cos it's a bit of Worcester. - Scottie Wilson.- Tell us about him.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Scottie Wilson was... I think he was a really cool man.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23He was in the 1950s. He designed a lot of these type of works
0:32:23 > 0:32:25on a red terracotta ground.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28I actually think he's really undervalued at the moment.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31That's going to make probably £50 to £80.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32Might make a little bit more.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35But it's a really good quality thing.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I think it's a good bit of mid-20th century design.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43But I think that's a real good eye for the future. Well done, Barby.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47- All right. Fine. £80 paid.- Yeah, I think he's all right with that.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Lovely. Well, we've got hope. It springs eternal.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53We've been sniffy about the bog roll holder, but it might do all right,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56in which case, the jury's out as to whether they're going to need
0:32:56 > 0:32:59the bonus buy or not, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:33:01 > 0:33:08OK, Alex, Alex. This is your moment. You gave the Barby £158.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- So, David, did you blow the lot? - I didn't blow the lot, no.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15I bought something rather interesting, slightly vintage.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- And it's this object here. Do you know what it is?- No.- No.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Well, this is for wearing round the waist. That clips on there.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26And in that, a lady would wander round
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- and she'd put her spectacles in there.- OK.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33So it's in the form of a chatelaine, but exclusively for spectacles.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- This is solid silver... - Yeah, I was going to say.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39..and it was made in Birmingham in 1894.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42It cost me all of £125.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46But it's got quite a good weight. You feel that. You feel that.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49It is silver. Silver is on the up at the moment.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- But it's such an unusual collectors item.- I like it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- I think it's really pretty.- It's definitely got a lot of character.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Have you seen one before?- No.- No. - Well, you have now.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03I think it might be worth a shot. I think the price puts me off a little bit.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Well, what we've got today is a general sale, that's for a fact,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09and in it, there's a bit of everything,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11so you never know your luck.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14But for the audience at home, right now let's find out
0:34:14 > 0:34:16what the auctioneer thinks about David's chatelaine.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Now, Phil, I don't want you to make a spectacle of yourself.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22That's actually... It's quite nice, isn't it?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24I think we might have been a bit mean on Barby.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28This is a spectacle case which just clips onto your belt.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33We put £40 to £60 on it and it's too mean because it's heavier than that.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- That's £80 to £120 worth.- OK. - What did he pay for it?
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Well, we'll change the estimate to 80 to 120 then. He paid £125.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45- He might just get out. He might just get out.- So, hope springs eternal.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50- What?!- Absolutely. It's better to... What is it? Travel in expectation than arrive in disappointment.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- I think that could be one of your sayings. Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- Now, Kev, Ian, how are you feeling? - Really confident. Got to be fair.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- You are confident?- Mm-hm. Yes. - On what do you base this confidence?
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Well, Kevin 's been persuading me that the buy's absolutely fantastic
0:35:13 > 0:35:17and that we're going to make a lot of money on that particular buy.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- So Kevin's really the man... - He's definitely been persuading me.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Lovely. First up, it's the rusty rocking horse and here it comes.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30Lot number 291. We discovered Shergar and here it is.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Rather bizarrely, I've got two bids of the same sort of money.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- So I've got to start at £60. - Get away!
0:35:37 > 0:35:4060, 60 bid. At £60 only.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41At 60. 60 bid.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43At £60...
0:35:43 > 0:35:45That is unbelievable.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Done. Thank you.- Yes!- Fantastic.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Brilliant.- Plus 25. That is so cool.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56The Vanguard's vans. Two RAC and two AA vans. Bid me for those.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58£10 for the two or the four.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Ten. I'm bid at ten. Ten bid.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02At £10 only. At ten.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Ten bid. £10. At 12. 15.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Well done.- That is plus £20.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Quite easy this thing, isn't it?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Lot number 292 is the bronze figure. There you are.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Will you bid me for this? Bid me £100 to start, someone. Decorative lot.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31£100. Give me 80.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- They don't like this.- Who's got 50?
0:36:35 > 0:36:3750 I'm bid. At £50 only.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40At 50. 50 bid. Is there any more at all?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Right at the back of the room.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46£50. And I sell then at £50. And done.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Thank you.- Oh, no!
0:36:48 > 0:36:54£50, chaps. That is minus 180 at a stroke.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- That's not much fun, isn't it? - You were absolutely right.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01You are minus £135. Oh, dear.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- What are you going to do about the silver-plated cups?- Definitely. - You like them?- Love them.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- Going to claw some profit back with that?- Definitely.- All right. Fine.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13So the decision is made. We're going with the cups
0:37:13 > 0:37:14and here they come.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Lot number 295 is the little set of stirrup cups.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Nice little cups. Actually, there's more than a healthy nip in these.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Give me a tenner to start. 10. 12. 15.
0:37:23 > 0:37:2518. 20. Five.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42At £60. And I sell them at £60. And done. Thank you.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43£60. The man's a genius.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Congratulations.- The man's a genius.- Fantastic.- Look at that.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Plus £40. Now that is a proper bonus buy.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54How do you invest 20 and triple it? Well done, Christopher. Marvellous.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Excellent.- Now, hang on, guys. You were minus 135.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59You're now only minus 95.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- 95 could easily be a winning score...- Unlikely, but maybe.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07..in which case, don't say a word to the Blues, all right?
0:38:07 > 0:38:08- No problem.- Stum.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Alex and Alex, how are you feeling, kids?- Not too bad.- Nervous.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- You're just cool, Alex, aren't you? - I try to be relaxed. It doesn't
0:38:19 > 0:38:21really matter if we make a loss, but I hope we make a profit.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26Your first item up is the Vidor portable radio and here it comes.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29They're becoming collectable, these. Who's got £20 to start?
0:38:29 > 0:38:33There's the bid. At £20 only. At £20 for the radio. Who's got five?

0:39:11 > 0:39:13- At £55.- I can't believe it.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Alex! Alex!
0:39:16 > 0:39:19The net's out. At £60. Is there any more?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- At £60.- Come on.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25At £60 and I sell, then, at £60. And done.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27That's another plus £20.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Restores faith in myself. - Didn't do too bad.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Listen. Scottie Wilson next.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Is there a following for Scottie Wilson here just outside Worcester?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39This is the big question and here it comes.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36£160 is plus 80.
0:40:36 > 0:40:42You had the 20 before and the 13 which means you are plus £113.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45How cool is that? What are you going to do?
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- Are you going to stick or are you going to twist?- Don't.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Stick?- Stick, yes. I'm happy with sticking.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- You're happy with sticking? - I'm happy with sticking.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56You're not going with it, but we're going to sell it anyway
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- just to see what happens, aren't we, David?- Yes.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Lot number 315 is this really lovely spectacle case. And it's heavy.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07There you are. Give me £80 to start, someone.
0:41:07 > 0:41:0950 I am bid. At 50. £50 only.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17At £75 only. Any more at all?
0:41:17 > 0:41:22At £75. And I sell then at £75 and done. Thank you.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27- Yes!- A wise decision. A wise decision.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29We got that. Very good.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You preserved your profits magnificently.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35The big thing now is, don't ruin the Reds' day.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- Don't mention a thing.- Yes.- Perfect.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Well, well, well, well. What an exciting day.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49In fact, I can't remember such an exciting day on Bargain Hunt.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51It's been great.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Have you been chatting though, the Reds and the Blues?- No.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- No?- No, no, no.- OK.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Well, I have to reveal that on this programme
0:41:59 > 0:42:02we don't have losers any more, but we do always have a runner up.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05And the team that are the runners-up today...
0:42:05 > 0:42:06are the Reds...
0:42:07 > 0:42:12..by losing £95. They don't deserve to be runners-up.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- You walk away braver boys and I'm proud of you.- Thank you very much.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20OK. But moving on to the victors who are going to go home with £113
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- of profits in their pockets. - Thank you very much.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26They managed to resist the bonus buy.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29That was their big winning factor.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34They preserved their profits, and not only did they make profits,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36they made profits on all three items.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38And therefore, they get entry to
0:42:38 > 0:42:41the venerable order of the golden gavel.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Except we ran out of gavels and now we give these pins.
0:42:45 > 0:42:51All right? So, take that. Take that, Alex. Take that, David.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- Add it to your collection. - What a thrill!
0:42:53 > 0:42:57£80 profit on Scottie Wilson. Whoever would have thought of that?
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Stellar, that's all I can say. Very, very happy.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Well, we've loved having you on the show. In fact, join us soon
