0:00:04 > 0:00:07up and down the length and breadth of Britain.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Today, we've headed east to Lincolnshire,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13so, let's go Bargain Hunting. Yeah!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hopefully amongst the thousands of items
0:00:43 > 0:00:47here at the Lincolnshire Antiques and Homes Show,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50our teams will be able to garner a few gems.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Let's have a quick squint at what's coming up.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56The reds attempt to speak Japanese.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58SPEAKS GIBBERISH
0:00:59 > 0:01:01"A really good deal."
0:01:02 > 0:01:04And the blue team have a side-splitting time!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Ooh! Oh, no!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11No-o-o!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Oh, what a disaster!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Now let's go and meet them.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22On Bargain Hunt today we have an aunt and niece team for the reds.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24And for the blues, we've got a couple of friends.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Close friends.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28For the reds it's Pat and Helen,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and for the blues it's Coco and Raj.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Hello, everyone.- Hello! - Lovely to see you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Pat, it says here you're retired. What did you do when you were working?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I was a shorthand typist
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and after having children I became a nursery nurse
0:01:42 > 0:01:47and worked with partially-sighted and moderate learning children.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Tell us the story about when you went to the wrong wedding.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55A colleague at work invited us to her daughter's evening reception.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59And when I got there, the bride asked me who I was
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and I said I worked with her mum.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- She said, "Sorry, my mum's been dead for five years."- Oh, my!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- So I made a quick exit! - You were at the wrong wedding!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Yes. A week early! - Absolutely incredible.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I understand you're also passionate about collecting antiques.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I love going to antiques fairs. I go to Newark and Peterborough.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- All round here.- Yes.- Up the road.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Good.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Have you ever found any real treasure?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- No!- No?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28It doesn't have to be worth a fortune.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32We'd just like you to make profits today, please, on Bargain Hunt!
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Yes.- Helen, what do you do to earn a crust?- I'm a hairdresser.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I've got a small hairdressing business.- Gents or ladies?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Mostly ladies, but some gents.- Yes.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- The older gentlemen or young ones? - Any. We don't mind!- You don't mind.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- It says your eldest client is 93. - She is. And very sprightly she is, too.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- I bet she's got lovely hair. - She has.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55What about your antique knowledge? What's that like?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Almost nil!- Is it? - It is, I'm afraid, yes.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Looking forward to spending our money today?- I am, yes!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Are you?- Yes.- It's a nice idea, isn't it?- It is!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I hope you spend the lot. How do you think you'll get on?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Brilliant.- So you're confident? - We are.- Hopefully!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Not nervous about anything?- Yes!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Like what?- Very nervous. - What are you nervous about?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The shopping will be easy. You'll find some lovely things.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24The experts are gorgeous. Wait till you see a cameraman! Ooh!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26They're that muscley. Anyway, good luck.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Thank you.- Have good fun.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Now, Coco Chanel and Raj. How are you two?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Good, thank you.- Where did you first meet, Coco?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- We went to primary school together, actually.- You never did!
0:03:39 > 0:03:43We reconnected when we had our first job together.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Then we went to college together. We went to university together.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- We lived together for a year. And here we are! - Isn't that brilliant?- Yes.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So you know each other's tastes, then, when it comes to antiques and stuff?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Yes. We're very different, aren't we?- Very.- Very different.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Are you going to agree on anything?
0:03:59 > 0:04:04- Probably not, but we'll share. - What do you do for a living, Coco?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I'm a make-up artist. I work for a leading brand within the industry.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- I also freelance.- Is that good fun? - It's amazing.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I love it so much. It provides me with so many opportunities.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Raj, it says here you're good with numbers.- That's correct, Tim.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I did Accounting and Finance at uni.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28I'm currently working with my dad who's a chartered certified accountant.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30What side of accountancy do you like? The tax, or what?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Yeah, I do like tax.- I hate the tax!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36What are you going to buy today?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- I have an interest in clocks. - Are you with him with this, Coco?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- In the clock department?- She has to be.- This is his department.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49- You're going to go with the flow, are you?- Yes. I'm more into French furniture and pretty things.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Anything to do with make-up. Compacts.- Oh, God, yes.- Lipsticks, all that kind of stuff.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57There are lovely things to buy out there. This is going to be exciting.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Good. £300 apiece. The money moment.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01There's your £300. You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05And off you go! And very, very good luck!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I really do hate paying the tax!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10So, who's helping out the teams today?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Battling on behalf of the reds is expert David Harper.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20And on sparkling form for the blues is fellow expert Kate Bliss.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24So, £300 and one hour to shop.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Let's get to it!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- So I'm sensing some nerves here, girls.- Just a wee bit.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Have you got anything in mind that you'd really like to buy today?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I've just spotted some vintage clothing, which would be lovely.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40You are a seasoned antiques buyer, I hear?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Well, I try to be.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Try.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I like clocks, watches.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- Shall we try and do our best?- Yes. - OK. One hour. Come on, girls. - Come on.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Let's go see what we can find.- Yes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Is that silver, do you think? - I don't know.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Looks quite old, doesn't it? - It's got age, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Nice frame. But is it silver?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Pat, you're an experienced antiques buyer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06From what you're saying, I bet it's not.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08No, I'm not giving anything away.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- I can't see any mark on it.- No. - Let's have a look.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13You'll find them inside the decoration.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Probably at the bottom or at the top.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- What's that there? Is that a mark? - No.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21It might be easier if you asked the stallholder!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24So you don't spend ten hours looking for hallmarks!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Any hallmarks on this? (VENDOR)- I haven't found one.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29He hasn't found them either!
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- What sort of money is it?- 120. - 120. I think, um...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Ah, well. That just doesn't rock their boat.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39But there's plenty of time ahead. Now, what's Coco spotted?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43That looks cool. That glass box thing.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- The what?- The glass box thing.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The glass box thing?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49That'll be the glass cabinet, Coco.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Now, this is, I would say, Eastern European.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56What's that in the middle?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00"Vitrina" is the word for vitrine, or glass cabinet.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02But I don't know what that means, I'm afraid!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Can't translate that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07You've got to ask yourself, "Who would buy it?" What would it be used for?
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- I don't know. I couldn't put it in a category, to be honest.- No.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I think it would be a great finishing piece for a shop, maybe.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Or on a set.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23But I don't think it's the sort of piece that people would want in their house.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25No. Yeah.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- I think move on. What do you think? - Let's move on.- Come on.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Bad luck, blues. Keep hunting.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31You lead.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33He doesn't look that impressed!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35What are these made of, David?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Ah, come on, Pat. You have bought hundreds of objects.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40You tell me!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Go on! What do you reckon?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Oh, is it...- Is it bronze?- It can't be. It's heavy.- Yes.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Style. Where are they from?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Don't panic just yet, Pat!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I haven't a clue, David!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Your life doesn't depend on it! - Are they Japanese?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Japanese. Well done, Helen. - Oh, are they?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'm looking at the carving on the birds.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- I thought...- Yes. Any markings on the base? No. Nothing on there.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, that one does have a mark on it!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Oh, right!- Let's have a look.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15- What sort of price are they? - Luckily for us, Patricia speaks fluent Japanese, so..
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- So they're still 19... - Circa 1900.- Right.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Do you like them?- Yeah. - Yes, I do like them, yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I think they'd be 30, 40, 50, 60 in the sale.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32See what we think for trade price. What are we thinking?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Please be kind!- Please be kind!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I have overheard what you've been saying!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I can't do much better than 80 quid. - Can't you?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- No.- 75 at a push.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- What do you want to do? - It's entirely up to you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- I like them. I'm happy with them. It's just...- The thing is,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51they're very good quality.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- And they should...- And they are a pair.- They're a pair.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Couldn't take 70?- Go on. 70.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Would you? You're lovely.- If they were 30 quid in auction, I'd buy 'em!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Oh, you are lovely! Do you think they'll make that at auction?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- What, £30?- No, 70!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I want to get me golden gavel!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09They all want the golden gavel!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12We'll go with it. Thank you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Right. Lovely. Thanks a lot. - Thanks very much.- Thank you!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Well done, girls. That's the first item bought for the reds.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22There's a clock. That's very '30s, really, isn't it?
0:09:22 > 0:09:28Oak case, and very '30s in the face. In the dial.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30But fairly standard.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- There's some glass on there, Helen. - Let's have a look.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's got no fantastic quality, that, at all.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- No.- Let's get a price, just out of interest.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40What's the best price you could do on that?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Well...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Deep intake of breath, there!
0:09:44 > 0:09:4824. I know it sounds poor, but I paid 20 for it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Right. Girls, what do you think?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- I think I'd like to look at some others.- OK, then.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I love the shape of the bottles. Look at that.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01The lovely thing about this is you've got enamelling on the top.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05That's enamelling where the metal is engraved first
0:10:05 > 0:10:08and the enamel laid over the top, to give that lovely pattern.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12And the bottles are shaped to all fit together. Isn't that sweet?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Yeah. Really cute.- But it's 195. I think we'll put that back!
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- We're not doing very well, are we? - No. Shall we move on?- Shall we?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21We seem to have been moving on a lot.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23But not actually buying anything!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25What have we spotted now, then?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- We quite like these. - All right, then. Tell me why.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Because they're pretty. We like the colours.- They're attractive, and a pair.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36They've got a Satsuma look to them.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Because of the raised decoration.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Anything that's got a raised decoration...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41If it's Japanese, which these are,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45you've got raised decoration and that crackle glaze behind here.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- It could be described as Satsuma. - Right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51HE SPEAKS GIBBERISH
0:10:52 > 0:10:53"A really good deal."
0:10:53 > 0:10:56A really good deal. A really good deal can be had here.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59What sort of age would they be, do you think?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Similar to your Japanese ones.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04There's a Japanese theme going on here. I can sense it!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06They're circa 1900.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Made for this market. Made for the European market.- OK.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Let's get a price. Hi, there.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15What kind of... What kind of price on this pair?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- 65?- I can do a bit better for you.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- 58.- 58.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Could you do 55?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- I could.- A little bit more, do you think?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- They're being hard. - They are being hard.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- We're trying, we're really trying. - We're very trying!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- 52 at the very best.- If we had that glass vase...
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- I'll do you 70 for the two. - 70 for two.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Sure you couldn't make them 50?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Go on.- Make them 50. Girls, 50?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Oh, that's really good.- Are we going to do it?- Yes.- Thank you very much.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Brilliant!
0:11:49 > 0:11:51That's the second item in the bag for the reds.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53They're two-nil up.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57So, at the half-way point, how are the teams feeling?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59We're feeling quite confident at the moment.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- I'm nervous. Are you?- I'm not nervous at all. We've got time.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06We can do this.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10We've got half an hour left, and I'd like a nice piece of glassware,
0:12:10 > 0:12:11if we can find one.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14We need to do it. We need to buy three things. Let's do it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Oh, look at that mirror.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Kate, the little mirror there.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- It's beautiful.- It's not that old.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26It's got damage. But it's £10 if it's any good.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27£10.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- Will it make a tenner at auction? - I'm not sure.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Do you want to offer me some less?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37A really silly amount would be a fiver. But no less than that whatsoever.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41A fiver. I think that's good for what it is.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45It's cheap, but it's right up my alley!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Might be up your alley, Raj, but will it turn Coco on?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I don't think at auction you'll get a huge amount for it.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54If it wasn't damaged, I'd say it's worth a punt.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57But for me, that puts me off.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- OK. We'll go with your gut. - I think we can do better than that.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05But I have spotted a rather nice umbrella here.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08This has got a lovely bamboo handle.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11A very attractive tassel here which is quite nice.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14And I'll just open it up
0:13:14 > 0:13:19and see what sort of condition the actual fabric is in.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25But I think you've got something that's perhaps more affordable,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28vintage and yet...
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Oh, no!
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Whoops!
0:13:34 > 0:13:36A great big split!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39What's going on there in the fabric?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Oh, no. Did I just do that?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Yes, Kate. That was you, love.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Oh, what a disaster!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Oh, that's such a shame. The handle's lovely.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52The handle alone isn't going to keep the rain out!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55There's a nice label in there.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57"Paragon".
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, no, I don't believe that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01What could you do it for, anyway?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Four quid. That's a ridiculous amount.- Four quid.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- I can't even...- 3.50.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Don't do 50s.- Three.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I'll say yes cos with the split now I'm going to struggle.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15But people do buy the frame and the tassel.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19So the tassel alone is worth that, to be fair. So, yeah.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Shall we say three?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I think we should go for it. I love the tassels.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24- It's my favourite part.- Yeah?
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Put it this way. If we put it in the auction, do the button up,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31and just hope nobody opens it!
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Are you happy?- Yes. - Three pounds, it's done.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38- OK.- Thank you very much. And I'm so sorry.- It's fine!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40An embarrassed Kate, eh?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42But at last the blues have secured their first item.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46With 25 minutes left, perhaps they'll romp home high and dry.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Well, maybe not so much of the dry, eh?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Guess what that is?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Here we go again!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- It's not Japanese? - Yes, it is Japanese!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It is positively Japanese.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00A lacquered Japanese box.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02What do you think that would make?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- It's worth ten quid. That's all. - Is that all?- That's all it's worth.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Ten, 20 pounds.- Perhaps we should go for a £10 spree!- Depends how much it is.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10How much for the Japanese box?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Er, 20.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- 20. Yes.- No. But I like it. - Yeah.- I think it's lovely.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Time is fast ticking away,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21but, as ever, it seems Kate has her eye on the clock.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Now, this is very Art Deco in style.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28You've got to be careful of these marble clock garnitures.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32It's called a garniture because you've got the clock and two bits either side.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37So it's made for a mantelpiece. It's called a garniture.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42but there are a lot of reproductions around because Art Deco is quite popular, quite commercial.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46So you've got to look at little features to see if it's a period one
0:15:46 > 0:15:49or a later copy because it makes a lot of difference to the price.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53This one, if you look at the bevel around the outside of the dial,
0:15:53 > 0:16:00which is plated, you can see there are little nicks in it, or little places
0:16:00 > 0:16:04where the plate has worn, which is a really good sign.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07That tells me, along with the condition of the dial,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10where there are a few scratches, it's not perfect,
0:16:10 > 0:16:16it tells me, I would say, this is a period Art Deco 1930s piece, OK?
0:16:16 > 0:16:17What do you think?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's not personally what I'd go for.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25but the fact it's marble makes me think it's worth some money.
0:16:25 > 0:16:31I really like it. It's got a nice contrast with the marble. Very nice.
0:16:31 > 0:16:38We do like the look of the marble clock. Could you go to 75?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- I couldn't go that low, sorry. - Could you do the flat 100?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- I'll do it 100, then. Go on. - Could you?- 100.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46What do you think, guys? £100. Round figure.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Is it worth a gamble?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50This is Raj's thing.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Do you think so? - I think it's worth it.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Shall we do it?- Yeah, might as well. You only live once!
0:16:57 > 0:17:02I think so. Worst scenario, I think, £70 at auction.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Best scenario, you might get over the 100.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05It is a gamble, but it's a great thing.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I think you've got yourself a deal.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Happy?- Yeah. £100.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- We'll do it, please.- Thank you.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Great. That's item number two for the blues.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I'm glad to say the blues finally seem to be working
0:17:19 > 0:17:21as one focused and united team!
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- This way?- That way.- That way?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Yeah.- I think so. - No-one listens to me!
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Well, maybe not!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- (MAN)- Can I give you a time check?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Yes.- You've got just over seven minutes.- Oh, my word!
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Seven minutes!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36The pressure's on!
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Quick, quick, quick!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Let's go through them quick-fire. Point things out.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Oh, that's nice.- That is nice.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46That's lovely. I really like that.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I don't think it's as old as it looks.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Because if you look just here...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55..it's marked 925.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Which means that it's sterling standard. But...
0:18:01 > 0:18:03What can you do on the frame?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- 180.- It's modern, isn't it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Don't know.- It's not an old one.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- 925.- I thought it was continental.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Yes, but fairly modern. - I don't know.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- I bought it in Paris.- It's got a 925 on it.- Oh, has it?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Time's running out. Stay focused, Coco!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21If you said to me, let's go and get that glass post, I wouldn't be able to find it.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- No.- What do you think about that?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- I know where it is.- Do you?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28It's lovely that you've got the two opening doors.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31But it's not old. It's got silk. Can you see?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35The silk is relatively new on there.
0:18:35 > 0:18:3780 quid. Final offer.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- 80?- 80?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- 80 quid?- Yeah, 80 quid.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- What do you think?- I like it. I really like it.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49But what do you think?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Apart from it being modern and 80 quid, yeah, it's nice.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Don't hold back, Raj(!)
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Meanwhile, what's caught Helen's eye?
0:18:58 > 0:18:59What's that?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- "Lyon's Tea". That's quite sweet, isn't it?- I like that.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- It is nice that, isn't it? - Right, OK.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Very interesting. It's made from tin.- Yeah.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And its date is... It's Edwardian.
0:19:12 > 0:19:161910. It might be 1920, just after the First World War.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- And you change your date. - That's lovely. I like that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22With an online sale, it could do quite well.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- How much time have we got left? - One minute.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Right, so.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30What do you think, chaps? Running out of time.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32It's good. Just go for it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Don't panic, girls.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Don't panic!!
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring!
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Try not to!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39What about 75 if we pay you cash?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42What is the absolute...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44The absolute best on it is £20.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- That's it?- Yes. Sorry. That's it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Do we want a bag? Have we bought it?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- We've bought it.- Yes, yes. - Thank you very much.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Thank you.- That, I've got to say,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58is my favourite object today.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Well done, reds. All items present and correct.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03But only during the final seconds of the shop.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- 75, yeah?- Done!- Cool!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08A deal is struck by the blues.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Bingo!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13We've got a picture frame.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15And now, they too have finished shopping.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Time's up. Let's check out what the red team bought, eh?
0:20:20 > 0:20:26First, they picked up a pair of Japanese Meiji period bronze vases.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29And from the same Japanese period,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32their pair of Satsuma vases cost them £50.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Their last purchase, at £20,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40was a novelty Edwardian Lyon's tin tea caddy
0:20:40 > 0:20:42with a perpetual calendar, don't you know.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- It went like that, didn't it? - It did.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Hey, you girls, I was told you were chatty, but by gosh!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53That was a good performance, wasn't it?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55And your overall spend was?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- 140.- 140.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00160 for me, then, please.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Thank you, Patricia. £160. A huge amount to you, David.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08How are you going to convert that into the most profitable bonus buy ever?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11No pressure! I don't know what I'm going to do.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- But I'm thinking something feminine. - Are you?- They've been wonderful. Something a bit girly.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Fine. You're well qualified for that! Very, very good luck!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Meanwhile, let's check out what the blue team bought.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28They put up three pounds for a 1940s Paragon umbrella.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33A three-piece 1930s Art Deco marble clock garniture
0:21:33 > 0:21:35set them back £100.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42And finally, they chose an ornate silver photograph frame.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44£75 paid for that.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- You liked your clock.- Yeah. That's what I came here for.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51We've got one heck of a happy team here. Are you a happy team?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Yes.- Had a good time? - Yes, very good, thank you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57What does the accountant think about spending all that cash?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Um, should be saving it!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02How much was it again?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04It was £178.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- 178. So we want £122.- Yes.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- That's right, yep.- OK, accountancy.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Here we go. 122. That's coming over.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16There's a wodge of cash, Kate.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Lovely.- What are you going to do with that?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Thank you. Well, they've got very set tastes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24It'll be difficult to find something to please them both.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I've got my work cut out.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Just something that'll make a major profit.- OK.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- I'll stick to that. - Good luck with that.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Meanwhile, we're heading off to Lotherton Hall. Ever heard of it?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Well, you're about to find out.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Former home of the Gascoigne family,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45this is Lotherton Hall in west Yorkshire.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47The Gascoignes were great travellers
0:22:47 > 0:22:50who'd picked up a number of exotic artefacts on their journeys
0:22:50 > 0:22:56which, since Sir Alvary Gascoigne bequeathed the hall to the City of Leeds in the 1960s
0:22:56 > 0:22:59are now on public display.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Along with many subsequent donations,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04these now make up a rather impressive Oriental collection.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Continuing the family tradition,
0:23:12 > 0:23:18Sir Alvary Gascoigne, the last incumbent of Lotherton Hall,
0:23:18 > 0:23:25when he was leaving his post with the British Diplomatic Mission in Japan in 1951,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29was presented with this by the diplomatic staff.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32A lovely pottery camel.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Except this is no ordinary pottery camel.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41It's a tomb figure that dates from the Tang dynasty.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44And the Tang dynasty ruled in China
0:23:44 > 0:23:48between about 600 AD and 900 AD.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50If you were wealthy in the Tang dynasty,
0:23:50 > 0:23:55what you'd want to be buried with is one of these in your tomb.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Because these were considered at that time symbols of wealth
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and prosperity.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04This thing is made of whitish clay.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09You can see the clay here where there's a great chip on one of his humps.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15And the expression on his face gives you everything that is great about camels.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Great open mouth, arched neck,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22throwing his head back, clearing his throat,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25preparing to spit,
0:24:25 > 0:24:30because, as we all know, camels can spit accurately for up to 20 metres.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36The colour scheme is typical of early Chinese pottery glazes,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40with these three colours, the white, the green and the yellow
0:24:40 > 0:24:41mixed in a treacly way
0:24:41 > 0:24:45that gets emulated, if you like, in Staffordshire,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49by the Wealden pottery factory in the 18th century.
0:24:49 > 0:24:56Which is a cool 1,000 years after this glaze was being used in China.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00This represents the absolute pinnacle
0:25:00 > 0:25:02of collectability today
0:25:02 > 0:25:04for Chinese ceramics.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I dread to think what it's potentially worth!
0:25:07 > 0:25:13So, while Sir Alvary is collecting his retirement gift,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16his missus, Lady Gascoigne, is away shopping.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Where she acquired in 1950
0:25:19 > 0:25:22this Japanese screen.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25This is said to be Kano School,
0:25:25 > 0:25:30and could date anywhere between about 1600 and 1800.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Where we've got this spangly golden section,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35if this was lacquer,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37you'd expect that to be nashi,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39with literally chopped up little bits of gold
0:25:39 > 0:25:43applied to the lacquer surface.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I reckon this thing, if it was properly restored,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50would look absolutely dynamic.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Overall, though, it has to be said
0:25:53 > 0:25:57that Lady Gascoigne was jolly good at her bargain hunting!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00The big question today is, over at the auction,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03can the same be said for our teams?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Today we're in Lincoln, and proud of it.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15At Golding, Young and Moore
0:26:15 > 0:26:18with our old mate mucker Colin Young.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Pleasure to have you here, Tim. - Morning, Colin. Lovely to be back.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25For the reds, they've gone, in my view, for some pretty disappointing Oriental items.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30These are two appallingly poor quality Japanese bronze vases.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34They are. They're what I class as one step up from the bottom league.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36There's no real quality to them at all.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38But they are old.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41So they've got to be worth 40 to £60, I'd have thought.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46- OK. £70 paid. Fair enough. They're not a million miles out.- No.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51But for viewers at home, looking at these two Satsuma vases,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- they are Satsuma.- Yes. - They've got some age.- Yes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57This, that and the other. It's just that a good bit of Satsuma takes your breath away,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and these are just poor pieces, aren't they?
0:27:00 > 0:27:06You've got those wonderful fine artistic pieces which make thousands.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Which just take your breath away.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11But as well as producing those, they had, in effect, to pay the rent.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15So there were everyday wares that were made en masse,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18and unfortunately this does fall into that category.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21So, Satsuma, Colin. What's your estimate?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I think in today's market, 40 to 60 is going to be the mark.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Patricia and Helen paid 50.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29So they're about spot on.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32And it's always time for a cup of tea, I find.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37How do you rate the little tea canister, the tea box?
0:27:37 > 0:27:38It's quite a fun item.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Plenty of them come through the auctions.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47They make anywhere between ten and 30 which is why that's the estimate I put on them.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Between ten and 30.- Yes.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- OK. £20 paid. So they're pretty well spot on.- Yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Fascinating to see what will happen. Overall, though,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56they're most likely going to need their bonus buy.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Let's have a look at it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Patricia, Hels, you spent 140. You gave David Harper £160.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- I'm going to help him by whooping that cloth off.- Be gentle.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12- Ooh!- Hello, two very elegant, beautiful scent bottles.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13How much?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Oh, here we go!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17What do you think?
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- I think you've spent all our money. - How much was that?- 160.- £160.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Have you?- 60 for the pair.- 60.- 60.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25That's not too bad.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30And to have a pair, a pair of anything, is always so much more desirable.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33And a matching pair. That's what we're all looking for!
0:28:33 > 0:28:35How much do you think they'll make?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I think they've got a very good chance of making a profit. I really do.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42I would pay 60 quid for those all day long.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Very happily. So they could make £100. Why not?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49OK, girls? Happy with that? Have a cogitate.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52You don't pick until after the sale of your first three items.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57But let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's scent bottles.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Perfect. Let's have one each, shall we?
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- Those are rather nice. - Aren't they attractive?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08I don't know. This silver and enamel band on the top.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09What's yours like? Mine's perfect.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- I've got a little bit out of mine. - A dent?- A bit of a dent.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Bit of a loss on there.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Is your glass all right? - The glass is good.
0:29:19 > 0:29:25I think they are incomplete and the stoppers that have been put on don't quite match.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29But with a scent bottle of this sort of size and scale,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31it should have had an atomiser top.
0:29:31 > 0:29:38This is going to be a difficult thing to... Almost like a vinegar bottle when you pour it out.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41This, for me, doesn't work with stoppers.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44So there are a few question marks hanging over them.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46But I think they dress very well.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48And they look the part.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- So I'll be quite positive with them in the sale.- OK.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54But an estimate of 50 to £80 for them.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57That's very fine, cos old Harper paid 60.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58So he's not overpaid.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01OK. Marvellous. Thank you for that, Colin.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Good, good. That's exciting.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Now, moving on to Coco and Rajan.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08We have an umbrella.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11We get a lot of these through. They generally don't go through as individual lots.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15But for that reason, it being a separate lot,
0:30:15 > 0:30:18we've put an estimate of 25 to £40.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- Really?- Hopefully that should encourage some stimulus in the bidding.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25There'll be a downpour, I can tell you!
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Really?- Three pounds paid.- That was all right!- Pretty good!
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Now, the clock garniture,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33which absolutely reeks 1930s, doesn't it?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36It does. Absolute spot-on piece of Deco.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We do see a lot of this model coming through.
0:30:39 > 0:30:45- And these days, we'd estimate 100 to £150.- 100 to £150?
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Coco and Raj, anything over £100, they'll be jumping up and down.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- OK.- And the last item
0:30:51 > 0:30:55which is incredibly good-looking.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58It looks Victorian, it feels Victorian.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It's a very traditional style from that sort of period,
0:31:01 > 0:31:02- but obviously a modern piece.- Yes.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07But it looks the part. So I wouldn't be too critical about it being not that old.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09What do you think it's worth, Col?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I think 40 to £60 would be the mark for it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14OK. I think that's a bit of a teasing estimate, personally!
0:31:14 > 0:31:16£75 was paid.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19And I'd be very surprised if you don't get that.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- But that's the excitement of the auction.- It's the unknown factor. That's why we do this job!
0:31:24 > 0:31:28And that's why they may need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Now. Raj, Coco, this is your moment.
0:31:32 > 0:31:38What did Kate Bliss spend all that cash on, that £122. OK, Kate, show us your wares!
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Here it is.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Quite small, but perfectly formed.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46It is - if I turn it over, you'll have more of a clue.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I can see Coco is looking very closely.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52On the other side, you have a sweet little bevelled mirror.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58And on the inside, you have something that every make-up artist needs...
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- a little lipstick!- Oh!
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Isn't that adorable?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05So although it was very difficult to please both of you,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I was really hoping I would please one of you!
0:32:07 > 0:32:08Indeed!
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Lovely.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11So, this is continental silver.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14It's actually marked with an import mark
0:32:14 > 0:32:17which is what happens to silver when it's imported into this country.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21But it's basically continental, probably French, I would think.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25And it's in really good condition for its age.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28This dates from the very early part of the 20th century.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Have a little look, Coco.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- I'm dying.- It's more of a girls' thing, I'm afraid, Raj.- OK.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Do you like it?- Oh, I love it!
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Would you like to own it?- I want it in my bag!- Do you?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42You need to find out from Kate one thing, one very important thing.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- And that is?- How much did it cost you?- OK.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Well, it cost me £38.- Oh!
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Does it look 38 notes' worth?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53I think it looks like it's worth more.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- I've never seen anything like it. - Yeah.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59There you are. You've got the males intrigued,
0:32:59 > 0:33:00and the women loving it, Kate.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I think this is a no-brainer, here.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Anyway, chaps. You don't decide now.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07You decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12But for those at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's lipstick.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16There you go, Colin. Something to repair your make-up with!
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Mm. I would think that's got to be worth, for any lady, 30 to £50.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- OK. £38 paid.- OK.- Which is pretty good, isn't it?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27The fact that Kate can go out and find that for £38 retail
0:33:27 > 0:33:30I think is pretty darned clever.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Are you taking the sale today?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- I will indeed.- We're in safe hands.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42OK, Pat? Hels? How are you feeling?
0:33:42 > 0:33:43- Nervous.- Fine.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- What does that hysterical laugh mean?- Yes!
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- A little bit nervous.- Are you?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Yes.- It's only fear of the unknown, I expect, isn't it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Once you get a couple of lots into it, you'll love it.- Good!
0:33:56 > 0:33:58First up are the bronzes. Here they come.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03Lot number 103. Pair of Japanese Meiji period bronze vases.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04There we go. £40, anyone? 40?
0:34:04 > 0:34:0740 straight in. £40. Who's coming in, £40 anybody?
0:34:07 > 0:34:1140. Look at what we're selling. £40 I'm bid. And two. Two do I see?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- At £40 bid. Two anywhere? - Come on, Colin.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18At 40 bid. 42 on the net. 42. 45. 48 bid. 50 do I see? £50 bid.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- 50. 55 now do I see? 55 bid? - Come on!- 55?
0:34:22 > 0:34:26£50 bid. Five is the last call. Going at £50.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29£50, which is £20 under.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- £50. Could have been a lot worse! - It could.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36- Now, will the Satsuma ones make more?- Yes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38What shall we say for these? Stand on £50.
0:34:38 > 0:34:4150? £50. Surely somebody's going to stand on at 50? 40?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Oh!- £30.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47£30?
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Silence!
0:34:48 > 0:34:51£20? Just look at the enamelling on them.
0:34:51 > 0:34:5220 bid. 22. Five. 28.
0:34:52 > 0:34:5430. 30 bid. 32. 35. 38 bid. 40.
0:34:54 > 0:34:5642. 45. 48?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- Go on!- Go on!- Another one, please!
0:34:59 > 0:35:00At 45 in the middle of the room.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02At 45 bid. 48 now. Do I see it?
0:35:02 > 0:35:0445. Look at what we're selling at 45.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07In the centre of the room selling at £45.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11£45. Bad luck. Made less than the bronze.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14And a five pound loss on that.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- Now, the tin tea caddy. - This is beautiful.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Who's going to start me at £30? 30?
0:35:19 > 0:35:2120 to go, then, surely. £20, anybody? 20?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24£20. £20? £10?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Ooh!- Ten. £10 I'm bid. 10. 12, now do I see? 12 bid. 15. 15.
0:35:28 > 0:35:3018 do I see? At £15 bid. 18 do I see now? 18.
0:35:30 > 0:35:3318 bid. 20 I'm bid. 22 now? 22?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35At £20 bid. Is there two now?
0:35:35 > 0:35:3822 on the net. 25 in the room. 28 now.
0:35:38 > 0:35:3928 bid. Are you coming back now?
0:35:39 > 0:35:4228 bid. 30. 30 bid. 32 now.
0:35:42 > 0:35:4432. 35 now.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46At 32 bid. 35 now anywhere else?
0:35:46 > 0:35:4838 we're up to now on the net.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49On the net!
0:35:49 > 0:35:51At 38 bid. 40 anywhere else now, surely?
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Go on!- On the net. You're out in the room.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- At 38.- Well, that's marvellous. Brilliant.
0:35:57 > 0:36:0038. Hell's bells. You did really well finding that.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01That's plus 18.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05A profit of 18. You're minus seven, sweet pea.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- That's not bad!- Minus seven is not too bad.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10What about these decanters?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12The old scent decanters.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Do you fancy them at 60? - No.- Are you not?- No.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- You're not?- Sure?- No?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Do you think so?- I can't express an opinion.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Well, what a turncoat you are. She told me how much she loved them.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27And then suddenly, no.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Hang on a minute. Seriously, you're minus seven pounds, which could be a winning score.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33On the other hand, do you fancy a punt on these things?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- What do you think?- The sweet smell of success?- We'll have a go.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- What do you think?- We'll have a go. - Sure?- Yes, we'll go.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- You will?- Your decision.- Yes, final. - You do. OK.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44You don't need to phone anybody?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Fingers are crossed. - Everything crossed?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- Seriously, you're doing it, yes? - Yes.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56Lot number 109 is a pair of George V cut glass scent bottles.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58£80, anybody? 80?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Lovely scent bottles, not to be sniffed at!- Ho, ho!
0:37:01 > 0:37:0350? £50? 50?
0:37:04 > 0:37:0640? £40 anybody? 40?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- For goodness sake!- £30, anybody? 30?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10£30 bid. 30. Two do I see now?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12£30 bid. Two anywhere else? 32 bid.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1335 bid. 38. 38. 40.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15At 40. 42. 45. 48.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18And 50? 48 bid. 50 do I see. 50 bid.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Five on the net. 55. 60 in the room.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2060. 65
0:37:20 > 0:37:2560 bid. And five now? Surely, at £60. 65. 70, now.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Yes!- Your bid takes it at 65.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Any more bids now?- Hang on. He's not finished.- Last call.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Will it tempt you back into the bidding?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33At 65 bid. Eight, now, surely?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35At 65. Going this time, then.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Selling at £65.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Well done, Dave.- Thank you, David. - Thank you.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41We're glad we went with you.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Well, it was quite a moment, that.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45It's what you call taut.
0:37:45 > 0:37:51Anyway. Plus five, which overall reduces you so sadly to minus £2.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- That's not bad.- It's brilliant!
0:37:53 > 0:37:55There's no shame in that.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Not at all.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59So, say not a word to the blues, OK?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Well done, girls, you've been marvellous.- Thank you.- Thank you!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Coco, Rajan, do you know how the reds got on?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- No.- No idea?- No.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16With any luck we'll have Raj the accountant counting out the money!
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Like he normally does at work and everything will be good.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23If it all goes wrong, you've got the lipstick jobby to fall back on.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Fall back on? It's lovely!
0:38:25 > 0:38:27You're having it anyway?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- You want it yourself, don't you? - Yes, I do!
0:38:29 > 0:38:32OK, Coco. So, here we go, then. Exciting stuff.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35First up is the umbrella. Here it comes.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Lot 124 is the vintage Paragon umbrella.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42The extra good news is it's raining today!
0:38:42 > 0:38:45So we should have a captive audience.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Who's going to start me at £30 for it? 30?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Ten to go, surely. £10, anybody? Ten?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51£10, anyone? Ten?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55£10 on the net. Ten bid.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5612 again now.
0:38:56 > 0:38:5912 and 15, now? 15 do I see?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Coming back at 15? No?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03At 12 bid. My bid's here at 12. Any more bids, then?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Any more bids? No? At £12. Last call then. Selling at 12.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Thank you.- £12, darling.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11You've just made £9 profit.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Good girl.- Very good.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Now, the clock garniture. Ooh.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Clock garniture set this time.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Who's going to start me at £200 for it? 200?
0:39:20 > 0:39:21Two to go, surely. £200 anyone?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23200? 150, if you like. 150.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Coming in at 150 for it?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27150 to go, surely. 150, anybody?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30100, then, as a last resort. £100.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32£100?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Somebody buy it!
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Time's running out. 50. 50 I'm bid in the middle there.
0:39:37 > 0:39:3950. At 60. 65. 65. 70, now?

0:39:41 > 0:39:43At 70 do I see? £70 I'm bid. At 70.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Five. 75. At 80?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48At £75. It's on the market and it is going to sell.
0:39:48 > 0:39:54We're all done and finished and selling, then, at £75.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56That's minus £25.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58I can't tell you how disappointed I am by that.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00That's minus 16.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02The game is not over.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Lot number 126. The ornate sterling silver photo frame.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09And we start the bidding on this already at £40 bid.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29£65 is minus £10.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Is minus 26 overall.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Right. So this is very disappointing, isn't it?
0:40:34 > 0:40:39So predicting what's going to happen with your lipstick isn't easy.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40But you're going to go for it anyway?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I really like it.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44So you're going to go with it, yes?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Yeah.- OK. We're going to do it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48We're going with it. Here it comes.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Lot number 130 showing now.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54This is a 20th-century continental silver combination lipstick holder.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57£50 for it? 50? £50 to go, then, surely.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59£50, anyone? 50?
0:40:59 > 0:41:0140? 30 to go then, surely. £30.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Who's going to start me at 30?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Oh, dear!
0:41:04 > 0:41:06£20? £20 bid. At 20 bid.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Gents as well, if you like! 20 bid.

0:41:10 > 0:41:1228 bid. 30. £30 bid. Do I see 30?
0:41:12 > 0:41:1532 now. 32 bid.
0:41:15 > 0:41:1635 bid.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20At 32 bid. 35, it's slowed down now a little bit.
0:41:20 > 0:41:2335. 38?
0:41:23 > 0:41:2538 bid.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27At 38 and very sedate.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30You've wiped your face. You've wiped your face.
0:41:30 > 0:41:3340 bid. 42 now? No? At £40 bid.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Any more bids now? At 40. Two, surely, for this?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38At £40 bid.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40£40.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- £40.- Selling on the net.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44£40.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46£40 is a two pound profit,
0:41:46 > 0:41:47which is most welcome.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Anyway, overall, you are minus £24.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54And I would say, Kate, you was robbed!
0:41:54 > 0:41:56That's really bad luck, guys, I would say.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- Well, that was fun, wasn't it? - It was.- Yes!
0:42:03 > 0:42:05I do love a good auction.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07We've had a helter-skelter today.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11But sadly, for neither team is there a profit to go home with.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15So both teams are in the minus department.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Despite the fact that the expert on each team
0:42:19 > 0:42:22managed to find an object which did make a profit.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Which is very, very nice going.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27But sadly, not enough profit to rescue the situation.
0:42:27 > 0:42:33And the team with the least losses today are...
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- the reds.- Yes!- Yes!
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Sorry, Coco!
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Which means that the blues have the most losses.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48- Yay!- But it's not much. It's only minus £24
0:42:48 > 0:42:51which is just nothing in the scale of it all.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54But the victors, who managed to win by only losing two pounds...
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Two pounds!
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- Minus two. Had a good time, you victors?- Fantastic.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01It's been lovely to see you both.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04In fact, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:43:04 > 0:43:05Yes!
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I know you're sitting there thinking, "I can do better than that!"
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:13 > 0:43:15If you think you can spot a bargain,
0:43:15 > 0:43:17go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20It'll be splendid to see you.
