0:00:03 > 0:00:07Today, we're in Hungerford, the only town in Britain
0:00:07 > 0:00:11that celebrates the annual Hocktide Festival
0:00:11 > 0:00:15which marks the end of the financial year.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Now, talking about finances, let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:43 > 0:00:48The medieval Hocktide Festival is also known as Tutti-Day.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Nowadays, though, Tutti-Men don't collect a penny from every household.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56They collect kisses in exchange for an orange.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02Hmm, that doesn't sound like a bad rate of exchange. I wonder if they're looking for recruits?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Fancy an orange?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10On today's show, the Reds get lost in reminiscence.
0:01:10 > 0:01:17- Which is your favourite album? - Fireball.- Right. I just bought Machine Head recently.- Impossible!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- Whilst the Blues go a-bickering. - You should stop saying "no" to everything.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Stop picking up rubbish! - LAUGHTER
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- That's the simple answer.- Be more diplomatic!- Stop picking up rubbish!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I say! Let's meet the teams.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36On today's programme, we've got teams of couples.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41For the Reds, we've got Enid and Roger, and for the Blues, we've got Ann and Ash.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Hello, everybody.- Hi, Tim.- Hello.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Enid, it says here you've got green fingers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52I have, Tim. I'm a flower arranger. I'm very fortunate to be a member of the Salisbury Cathedral flower team.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- The cathedral is a beautiful place. - It's a wonderful place to work. We are volunteers.- Good.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59What do you do, Roger?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- A bit of this and that, Tim. - Shrug your shoulders?
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Yes, and spend my time listening to music and volunteering for the Salisbury Festival.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- Tell us about your love of music. - I spend a lot of my time collecting music,
0:02:13 > 0:02:18particularly 1960s psychedelia. It was a very interesting period of music, I think.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Things were getting very creative. To use a Salisbury example,
0:02:22 > 0:02:27Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich had a very good run of very commercial records
0:02:27 > 0:02:29which were written for them.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34They'd be told to make the B-side in a few hours in the studio and you'd get something interesting
0:02:34 > 0:02:38which would amaze people who only knew their commercial sides.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Loads of vinyl in your collection?
0:02:40 > 0:02:46Quite a bit. Vinyl's making a comeback. You can't beat the vinyl, particularly with the LPs.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50By jingo, haven't the values gone up in the last ten years?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Yes. Everybody was throwing the stuff away a few years ago when CDs were coming in.- Yes.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- Now they wish they hadn't.- What are your tactics? Will you spend all your cash and go for broke?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Yes, we're going to spend big.- You're excited.- Yes, looking forward to it.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Bubbling over. I wish you good luck.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Now, Ann, I understand, like Enid, you too have green fingers.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I do, but I help people grow plants, rather than do flower-arranging.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22I'm a gardener and I help people in the village that I live in keep their gardens looking spick-and-span.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I can tell that you're a colourful character.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31I'm quite fond of the old bright colours. Give us a revolution of your trousers.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37- I'm scared of getting lost and you won't lose me wearing this.- You won't get run over in those, darling.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So, Ash, you've had many careers over the years.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Absolutely, yes. I spent six years in the army as a surveyor.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I spent a year also as a dispatch rider before spending 12 years in IT.
0:03:49 > 0:03:55Then about six, seven years ago, I stopped that and I joined the ambulance service.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And I'm now a registered paramedic.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- That is some shifting about! - Absolutely.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Tell me about this Mensa business.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Ah, Mensa, yes, yes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09About 20-odd years ago, I joined Mensa. It was whilst I was in the army.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14About the same time, Ann joined, although I didn't know her at the time, but it was...
0:04:14 > 0:04:20- Great minds think alike.- Absolutely. Part of the reason we got together was at Mensa meetings in Newbury.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Good. And now the money moment... You don't need a Mensa qualification to count that lot.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's £300 apiece. You know the rules, your experts await
0:04:28 > 0:04:32and off you go and very, very, very good luck!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Gosh, whatever is going to happen today?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Today, the Reds have a man always sporting the best antiques know-how.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44It's Colin Young. And the Blues get bright, brainy Braxton.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Now, what are we looking for, you two?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51We'd like something really useful.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- OK.- We quite like useful things, so that would be quite good. Or something pink and sparkly.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I like purple. That's the thing. I shall be drawn to things purple.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Right. Any reason for that? - It's a spiritual colour.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Is it?- Hmm.- Right. What spirits do you drink that are purple?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm more a wine man, actually.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15No, Colin, we're talking divine presence, not distilled tipples.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Oh, look! Are the Blues in the pink already?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- It's pink and sparkly and it's useful.- And it's very expensive.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- £285.- So how are you going to make a profit out of that?
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Talk me through that one.- I'll get him to knock the price down a lot.
0:05:31 > 0:05:37- Good luck with that, Ash. Ann's got faith in you.- How much would it be worth at auction?- About £70.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Really?- Really?- I think even Ann's faith would be tested there.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Probably not a goer then. - No, I wouldn't go for it.- Cool.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Think smaller. Think smaller.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52How does etched cranberry glass sell? You'll say "no". I know you'll say "no".
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Very well if it's old.- Ah!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- And that is...?- New.- New.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I'm a Deep Purple fan as well.- Which is your favourite album?- Fireball.
0:06:05 > 0:06:11Right. I just bought Machine Head recently because they re-did that one. That's quite a good album.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- Impossible!- Forget Deep Purple. You'll be in deep trouble if you don't get a move on!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Do you like Black Sabbath?- Yes, yes. I saw them last year at Download.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26- Oh, did you? I saw them back in the day.- Yeah.- Oxford Town Hall.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- How long have we got?- One of the loudest...- Sorry. Are we boring you with our interest in music?
0:06:31 > 0:06:37Quite right, Enid. How about some bargain hunting, chaps? Rock on, Reds!
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Instead of pink and sparkly, how about blue and twinkly?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- It matches your fleeces. - It's a beautiful colour.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48£300.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- Would it achieve that sort of price in an auction? - It wouldn't be far off.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Hello, hello, hello. Ding!
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- That could be useful.- Marvellous. - Here we are. Where are we, team? Look at that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07- That's just beautiful.- Really good. - It is lovely, isn't it?- Yeah. - Very, very beautiful.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And very, very expensive.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11JAMES MAKES BUZZING SOUND
0:07:11 > 0:07:13LAUGHTER
0:07:13 > 0:07:18We don't want to kill our expert yet. We've got a couple of things to buy first.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Don't worry, I'm hanging on to the rubber.- You can stop doing that now.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Yes, James, an electrifying performance!- Isn't that lovely?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- All these things come alive when you introduce light.- Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Yeah, I think that was generally the idea.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38"Customers, each and every item displayed in this cabinet is priced at only £5.50.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42"So go grab the key and bag yourself a bargain."
0:07:42 > 0:07:48- Oh!- Well, at £5.50...- Might be able to build up a bit of a group lot there.- A trio of items.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54- There's got to be something we can buy in there for £5.50 and make a profit.- What about this blue glass?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- It's a flower vase table centre.- OK.
0:07:56 > 0:08:02- This is a really interesting cabinet all of a sudden.- That price makes so much difference.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06At those prices, it's got "bargain" written all over it, surely!
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Meanwhile, it's not pink, but can the Blues lighten the price with dealer Stuart?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14The best price I'd do it for is £150.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Really?- Is that good for you or not? I think it's a beauty.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- I think it's a beauty.- That sounds pretty good. Is it all perfect?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- We'll get it down and have a look. It should be.- Shall I do it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- If you can reach it, that's good, yeah.- Are you OK there? - Mind the weight.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Careful, James. You haven't bought it yet!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36OK...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's the points you need to look at, really.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Yeah, feel... Sometimes the eyes can lie.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Yeah, I think it's good.- When would this have been made?- I'd say 1920s.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- I'd say Edwardian.- The thing is, it was made for electricity.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58Electricity was generally not widespread for lighting until the '20s, but houses had it...
0:08:58 > 0:09:04- This is a beautiful item. It would have been made for a good house. - They'd have had their own generators.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Decision?- I would go for it.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- It's great fun.- Well done.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- Yeah, well done. Really kind. Thanks a lot, Stuart.- Thank you. - Thanks.- Well done too.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Thank goodness the only thing that dropped there was the price, to half price!
0:09:19 > 0:09:25- Over with the Reds, presentation is everything.- It just says, "Eye-catching blue vase."
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- Well, it caught your eye. There's no problem with trade descriptions there.- It is eye-catching.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Go on then, your turn.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38- As a flower arranger, I think... - You'd like that to go with it.- What about you, Colin?- I'll go for this.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- That's nice.- Yes, that's good. - A nice chunk of glass.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Isn't it? OK, a nice little turtle.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49I think that's going to be a sweet little lot for auction.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- That's £17.50...- It's not as much as that. It's 16.50.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- 16.50.- 16.50.- I just saved a pound!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Are we agreed?- I think...- Teamwork?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- We've made a start, a good start. - Excellent. First purchase done.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08OK, three bits of modern glass, Reds. Maybe there's safety in numbers here. We'll see.
0:10:08 > 0:10:1420 minutes gone. Now, can the Blues find something to bring a twinkle to James's eye for a second time?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- "Silver-plated gallery tray." - You're going for shiny things.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27It is shiny, but it is silver plate. I don't know whether silver plate is a good thing or a bad thing.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- It's a bad thing, yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Next question.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34That'll be another rejection.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- And what price have you got on that? - It says £66.50, but...
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- What would it be at auction? - Very accurate pricing on this stand!
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- What would it be likely to fetch at auction?- Seriously?- Hmm.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- 50?- £10 to £20.
0:10:49 > 0:10:55- £10 to £20?- Yeah.- So we would reject that then.- Probably lose something on that one, I would have thought.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Never mind, Blues. Keep trying. James is a hard man to please.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- I like that wooden bowl.- It's a little whisky taster or a quaich.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- A quaich, that's it.- A quaich. - Good morning.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10We just need that cabinet opening, please.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Shop manager Adrian is the man to awake the quaich.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- It's taken your eye, so you may as well...- You grab it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Oh, that's really pretty.- Yeah.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- Is that Scottish silver-rimmed then? - I don't know. Can you see a hallmark on it, Enid?
0:11:25 > 0:11:30- No. I do love it though. The wood's so beautifully smooth. - It's nicely aged, actually.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34It is. You can see it has been used.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40Yeah, it's a nice piece of treen, in effect, turned wood, but no hallmark which will be a bit of a downer.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46- That's a shame.- It's interesting because it's priced at 39 euros. - Looks like a £-sign to me!
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- What's that in real money?- What's that in real money?- £25?- About £25.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- I think so, yes.- About £25?
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- So what would be the very best on that one?- I'll find out. - In GB-pounds.- GB-pounds.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Yeah, we know that 39 euros is what's being asked, but...
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- We'll find out.- That would be great.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- I won't be a second. - Thank you very much.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13- Are you sure that says "euros", chaps?- I think that's actually their £-sign, by the way.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- No, I think...- No, they don't mean that.- They've misled you.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- £25 I think they meant. - Yeah, that's right. That's our story and we're sticking to it.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- If we stick together on this, we'll be fine.- Yeah.
0:12:25 > 0:12:31Nice try, boys. Even if it did say 39 euros, that's more like £33, not £25.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38This looks a good old jumble of goodies. Get in there and bring me out a bargain.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- What should I be bringing? - Something that will make lots of money and is cheap.- A guitar?
0:12:43 > 0:12:49- No.- No?- I don't want to say "no" any more, but you keep giving me these questions.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You have said "no" quite a lot.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54What did I say? He's a tough man to please.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Does Murano do anything for you?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Is that Murano glass?- It says it is.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Whether it is or not is another matter.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Spatterware...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Spatterware.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10That looks like end-of-pier glass, rather than Murano.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16- Murano is generally quite fine glass.- I can only go with what it says on the label.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- An allegedly Victorian candlestick. - Yeah, I'd concur with that.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- OK, he agrees. - How much has he got on it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I don't think it's a huge amount.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28What, £2...? £12.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34It's got a bit of age, but at auction, that would be dismissed, really.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Yeah.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I think Ash knows the feeling, James!
0:13:41 > 0:13:46Adrian has wisely handed the quaich negotiation over to Colin.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Yes, a pretty little example, it is.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54What sort of, um...you know, figure can you bring it down to?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56£28?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- And, um...- (Yes.)- They're looking very concerned and very worried at that price(!)
0:14:01 > 0:14:06- Far more than I thought it was going to be!- Thank you. It's a deal.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08OK. Bye now.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Well done.- Lovely.- £28.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Lovely.- You liked it, didn't you? - I love it. I do love it.- That's good.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Colin, we need to spend big now. - We do.- We do.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Quite right, Reds. Whether you're spending euros or pounds, you're not spending big.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Let's see who splashed the cash on item three.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- How does a chestnut roaster grab you? - I don't want it to grab me anywhere!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Would that have any value at auction?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Go on, say those two letters you know you love saying to me!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Is the second one "O" by any chance?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42It's...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48But as a decorative item, would that have much value?
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- Just...- I think you've answered your own question, haven't you?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- Yes, obviously, I have. - Yeah, well done.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04You've got to hand it to Ann. She's still laughing. For James's sake, let's hope she stays that way.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- He is being a bit negative. - He has a different form of taste.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:16Panicking, panicking. We've bought the most fabulous light, though, so I'm nourished by that.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21The light's not something I would have thought about getting, but it is beautiful.
0:15:21 > 0:15:27- Yeah, it is good. Yeah. - No room in our house for it, but it's very nice. We're not buying it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32No, we don't have anything suspended from the ceiling, apart from the people that upset us.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Mr Braxton, are you listening to this? Colin is steering a much more harmonious ship.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40What about a bit of Shelley?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42£39.75.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- It's not big money. - It's not big money, so you want to avoid it?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:46 > 0:15:52- It's quite nice, but I don't think I could face Tim if we've only spent about £60.- No.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58I don't mind because you two stand nearest to him and I'm the one that has the furthest distance to run.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01But I've got long arms, Colin.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Well said, Enid. Spend big.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08The amount of time left, however, is getting rapidly smaller.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- So, fire dogs?- Fire dogs.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17- Good for a general sale? - They would be good for a general sale. They'd withstand some heat.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Put a nice log on it, get some air under them, they're away, aren't they?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Crikey! Does he like them? - Quite a reasonable price at £28.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32- It's not bad, is it? They're just wrought iron.- Yeah. - Nothing negative so far.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37But we're not in a position of strength with ten minutes to go and two items to find.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39You should stop saying "no" to everything.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Well, stop picking up rubbish.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- That's the simple answer, Ann. - Be more diplomatic! - Stop picking up rubbish.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Come on, Blues, play nicely.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Adrian, what, £15 for these?
0:16:52 > 0:16:58- Lovely things.- Lovely?- Yeah.- It's not the first adjective I'd use for them, but they're lovely and black.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Practical.- Practical.- Lovely.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Practical is useful. - Why don't I just say 18?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- OK.- Fantastic.- 18.- Thank you.
0:17:07 > 0:17:13Well, thank goodness! We have agreement amidst the tension and item number two is bagged.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17# It's oh, so quiet
0:17:17 > 0:17:20# Ssh, ssh
0:17:20 > 0:17:23# It's oh, so still
0:17:23 > 0:17:26# Ssh, ssh... #
0:17:26 > 0:17:30The Blues' bickering contrasts sharply with the Reds' reticence.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36Does this mean that everybody is struggling now because there's this element of silence?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- It's gone very quiet. - It has, hasn't it?- Yes.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45- Do you want to try the shop across the road?- Yes, that'd be lovely. - Come on.- Let's go over the road.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- In a last, desperate bid for glory. - Yeah.
0:17:49 > 0:17:55Now, why did the Red Team cross the road? Punchlines on a postcard, please.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- The Emporium.- Ah! - See what bargains behold.- Oh, yes.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04Blues, if you can't agree on a third item, you can kiss goodbye to any chance of winning.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08We've just seen this bottle-stopper. We're not having you saying "no".
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I don't care if you hate it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13It's even nastier in action, isn't it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Good. I love it. If you hate it, do you know what? I don't care!
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Mutiny?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Lovely.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23That is... That is...lovely.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27We are going to need every ounce of help with these - £48.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- I'll try my best. What are you thinking of?- 20, 25? - I'll go and ring the dealer for you.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Marvellous.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36£48 down to £25?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39He's brazen, our Brackers, isn't he?
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- I'm getting worried. Time is short. - Colin, what about this? - That's all right.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- A bit glitzy.- Yeah, quite nice. - What do you think, Roger?
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- Is that wood, Colin?- It's wood, it's been gilded. I'm not sure what the wood base is.
0:18:52 > 0:18:58Interesting combination, though. Rococo design scrolling, all of that, C-scrolls and S-scrolls on it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Yeah, got a bit of a good look about that. I just wonder whether that's the original plate.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05But it all works together well.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10It's that sort of French Revival, late 19th century thing.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- What about price, Colin? - £70 doesn't seem too bad, actually.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- Is the back OK? - Yeah, that's all right. I like that.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20It certainly shows its age.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26Yeah, it's fine. We'll have to make a decision. Let's see if we can get the manager.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32- Do you want to go and fetch him, Roger?- Yeah, I'll see if I can find him.- And hurry up!- Yeah, run!
0:19:32 > 0:19:37I should "Rococo", Reds. You've got less than three minutes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- PHONE RINGS - The kissing bottle-stopper's dealer is ready for a Braxton haggle.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Hello, it's James Braxton here.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Thanks for calling.- 'James, how are you doing?'- Very well.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54I've got the Blue Team who are doing very well, then they alighted on your kissing couple.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56'What are they at the moment, James?'
0:19:56 > 0:20:00A very high, chancy price of £48, sir.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- '£48...'- I was thinking about 20.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07'Oh, James!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10'If you could do 25, I think we've got a deal.'
0:20:10 > 0:20:1525? Yeah, brilliant. That's really kind of you. I think they're really delighted.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Brilliant. Thank you.- We all are.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- 'It's been a pleasure, James. I hope you do well.'- Thanks a lot. Bye.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Bye.- 'All the best.'- Bye.- 'Bye.'
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- Fantastic.- Everything in life is negotiable, from 48 to 25.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Do you like it better now it's only 25?- I do.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- LAUGHTER - Ann, I love it.
0:20:37 > 0:20:43- How I didn't spot this, I do not know.- You really must practise the honesty, you know.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49Thank goodness for that! The Blues' shop ends with laughs all round.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53The Reds aren't smiling yet. Can they do a deal with David over the mirror?
0:20:53 > 0:20:59- Can you do anything to help us on this one? - 70... It should be a minimum of 60.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- Yeah.- It should be.- It should be. Do you think we might get another few quid out of it?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Is there a profit, a bit of a gamble for you?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- It was a pair.- It was a pair?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12And we sold the last one at 60.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18Oh! Of course, that means it's now no longer a part of a pair, so the values have dropped.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- The value's gone right down. - It has. 58?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- 58, I can probably do.- Right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Ann's happy with... Yeah? - Let's go with it.- Let's go with it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32- Thank you very much. You've saved our bacon with seconds to go.- Thank you, David.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Phew!- And relax!
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Tut-tut, teams! Time's up.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Let's remind ourselves what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45'They started off with the job lot -
0:21:45 > 0:21:49'three bits of modern glass for £16.50.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52'Next they bought a whisky quaich for £28.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57'Finally, they saw a profit in this Rococo-style wall mirror at £58.'
0:21:57 > 0:22:00You have finished shopping now, haven't you?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Yeah, just about. - What did you spend in total?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05£102.50, I think.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Can I have £197.50 then? Who's got that?
0:22:09 > 0:22:14- You can. I'm ashamed to give you that.- You're not happy with that. We've got the small change there.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19There's a bundle of money there. Colin, what will you go and find?
0:22:19 > 0:22:25I really don't know. There's so much money there, so much stock out there. I'll be spoilt for choice.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- That's nice.- Yes, that's lovely.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31You go and relax while we check out what the Blue Team bought.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37'The Blues spent big on the cut-glass light bowl - £150 paid.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40'They then bought these wartime fire dogs for £18.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43'Finally, they kissed and made up with James
0:22:43 > 0:22:47'as they bought this Austrian bottle-stopper for £25.'
0:22:47 > 0:22:50They do like a chat, don't they, these Blues?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- You're very chatty.- Very chatty. We did stop a little bit, but not much.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Not much. OK, was that fun?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Absolutely, yes.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- Which is your favourite bit, Ash? - My favourite bit was the blue light.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- The blue light. Do you agree with that?- No, the bottle-stopper is my favourite item.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Will that bring the biggest profit? - No. The blue light will.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- LAUGHTER - Not a blue flashing light?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- No, no.- Maybe.- Not something you nicked off an emergency vehicle?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22That's made that prediction. How much did you spend?
0:23:22 > 0:23:23£193.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Who's got £107 about their person?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- I have.- Well done.- There you go. - Thank you very much.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33£107. I won't count it. I trust you implicitly.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- I'll hand it straight over to Brackers.- Thank you.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42- What are you going to do with that, James Braxton?- I'll complement our already very fine purchases.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47- LAUGHTER - Absolutely.- And that is the right answer. Thank you very much.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere absolutely dazzling and it's in South Wales.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02This is Tredegar House near Newport in Wales.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Originally built some time before 1540, its owners, the Morgan family,
0:24:06 > 0:24:11went on to improve and embellish it down the centuries in spectacular style.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Its story can be told from three sides.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21Basically, the core of this house dates to the late medieval or Tudor period.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25And it existed perfectly happily until the great modernisation,
0:24:25 > 0:24:32that happened here between about 1664 and 1674,
0:24:32 > 0:24:39led to the creation of the restoration bits that embellish the house as we see it today.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41But around the corner, wow!
0:24:46 > 0:24:48See what I mean?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Now, this is what I call impressive!
0:24:52 > 0:24:57William Morgan decided to improve the existing building dramatically
0:24:57 > 0:25:01by joining up building this new front,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05the open medieval structure within.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10And he did it in the new-fangled Restoration style
0:25:10 > 0:25:15with a quality of build and symmetry that fair takes your breath away.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21If you look at the detail around this entrance, it's extraordinary.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27The Morgan family are making their statement in the coat of arms within a shield at the very top,
0:25:27 > 0:25:33symmetrically placed between the broken arch pediment,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38and underneath, the flanking Corinthian-capped columns
0:25:38 > 0:25:43which are twisted and wrapped with olive fronds.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46And what I think is so nice about this stone
0:25:46 > 0:25:50after X-hundred years of being weathered like this
0:25:50 > 0:25:56is that it takes on a sort of crusted antique quality,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58which is very, very special.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05And around the next corner, more of the same. Or is it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Here on the north-east side, what about this exquisite stone porch
0:26:10 > 0:26:13that looks so authentic?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Well, it isn't
0:26:15 > 0:26:19because Sir Godfrey Morgan, in the 19th century, added it on.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22But didn't he do a good job, eh?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Any house as grand as this needs an equally grand set of gates
0:26:30 > 0:26:34through which visitors could pass and be suitably impressed.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39In the 18th century, Tredegar was gated by its owner, John Morgan.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43The inspiration for this type of screen comes from France
0:26:43 > 0:26:46where it's called a "claire-voie",
0:26:46 > 0:26:51meaning a clear view or a gap between two places
0:26:51 > 0:26:56which is joined by something that lets light through
0:26:56 > 0:27:00and the Morgan that was living here spent £1,000,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02a fortune at the time.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06And the craftsmen, they weren't Welsh, they came from Bristol.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09They were called the Edney Brothers
0:27:09 > 0:27:13and to this day, this gate is known behind me as the Edney Gate.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18The big question today is, of course, are the floodgates of profit about to pour forth
0:27:18 > 0:27:21on our teams over at the auction?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38It's lovely to be in the heart of Somerset in Crewkerne
0:27:38 > 0:27:42at Lawrences Auctioneers with Richard Kay, our man of the moment.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Hello, Tim. Welcome back.- Thank you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50- First up, three little pieces of glass. Quite contrasting?- Yes. - But apparently, all in good nick.
0:27:50 > 0:27:56What collectors want more than anything else with modern glass is a name or a factory or something
0:27:56 > 0:28:02that makes them sufficiently recognisable to be obviously the work of a particular maker.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- Are these recognisable? - They're not signed, put it that way, and that's off-putting.- It is.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Mark you, our lot only paid £16.50 for the three pieces.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15- That's not £6 a bit. - It's £5.50 each, isn't it?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- All right.- So we're looking at...
0:28:17 > 0:28:22- They might get £20 to £30 for them. - Might they? - Yeah, I think that's fair enough.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25What about the quaich or "quaish"?
0:28:25 > 0:28:30Yes, these are traditionally christening gifts to young Scottish lads.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34This is a very small one. It's quite nicely made.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39The little silver collar on it is unmarked, so it's probably made in someone's workshop
0:28:39 > 0:28:45and never formally assayed, so we don't quite know the date of it. 1930s probably, 1940s at a push?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- That slightly home-made feel is off-putting.- Yeah. How much then?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- £15 to £20.- OK, they paid £28.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56Lastly, this splendid wall mirror. You very often see them as a pair.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Yes, it's a shame it's missing its partner, but it is at least carved
0:29:00 > 0:29:05and although the plate is original and last quarter of the 19th century,
0:29:05 > 0:29:09the gilding on the frame is a little bit brassy.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12It's got a sort of greeny-yellow colour about it
0:29:12 > 0:29:15which I think puts it well into the 20th century,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19so it's had a lick of gold paint, as opposed to gilding.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24If it was in its original gilding, at least the frame would have some integrity in its own right.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- Do you think it'll make the ton? - I don't think it'll make the ton, no.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33- But it should make £50 to £70.- Half a ton.- Half a ton.- They paid 58.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- So, it's in the frame. - We're on the way there.
0:29:36 > 0:29:42- In the FRAME.- In the frame, very good.- On that happy note, let's go and have a look at their bonus buy.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Now, Roger, Enid, you spent a miserable £102.50.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50You gave the £197.50 to Colin Young. Did he blow the lot?
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- I'll help you here.- Thank you, Tim.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- Ah!- And did I blow the lot? Oh, yes.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02Absolutely. Just have a look at this cracking pair of chestnut baskets.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Oh, yes. It's lovely.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09- Yes, beautiful. They feel gorgeous.- They are. They're a really good example.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14Early 19th century, English earthenware, transfer-printed decoration.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Really nice.- No maker's name?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- No.- Does it matter?- It doesn't.
0:30:18 > 0:30:25It's one of those areas that collectors of good, old, proper antiques would just die for these.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Beautiful. How much did you pay?
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- £197.50.- The lot! - Oh, lord, he did blow the lot!
0:30:31 > 0:30:36- How much do you think we'll get for them?- It really would be a great shame if they made a loss.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41They're lovely objects, Colin. I think they'll do well. Definitely worth a punt.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Your opportunity to decide will come in a moment,
0:30:44 > 0:30:48but let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Colin's baskets.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53Here we go, Richard. You don't want to be butter fingers with these because they're in ace order.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57They are in ace order and that's very nice to see.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02Not just a pair, but a pair that don't seem to have suffered any damages which is remarkable,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06bearing in mind how finely cut this trellis pattern on the side is.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Perfect diamond shapes. - But all done by hand.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- There is a slight difference between each of them.- Yeah.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15You can tell that these were not done by a machine
0:31:15 > 0:31:20and the transfer is a little uneven, but that's part of the appeal.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- You couldn't find a better pair. - A very good pair and nice and original in every sense.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27So Colin Young's done very well, really.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31I don't know what he paid for them, but £100, maybe £120?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34He paid a bit more. In fact, he paid £197.50.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38He's paid the retail price. Will you get anything close to the retail price?
0:31:38 > 0:31:44People might spend a bit more money on something that good. That's how people spend money at the moment.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues with their blue, flashed glass ceiling light.
0:31:49 > 0:31:55- Unusual in blue, isn't it? - Yes, and probably not the sort of item that people are looking to buy.
0:31:55 > 0:32:01You're right because the only house that this would fit in has to have a ceiling height of about eight feet.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- Anything less than that, it starts to look ridiculous.- Far too low.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08So, a substantial house with eight-foot ceiling heights
0:32:08 > 0:32:11that happens this week to want a blue one.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16- Yes.- When the bulb's in that, the light that that gives off is blue.
0:32:16 > 0:32:23That's an extra consideration perhaps that somebody buying this might not be aware of until they hang it up.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- You're wearing a red dress and you turn purple.- I never wear a red dress for that very reason!
0:32:28 > 0:32:33I can see you in that off-the-shoulder number. It'd be rather fetching.
0:32:33 > 0:32:39- Anyway, probably a bit impractical for today's buyer.- I think so. It's probably £60 to £70.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44OK, £150 they paid which is probably going to be their comeuppance, I have to say.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47The wrought-iron fire dogs are terribly ordinary.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53- They are very plain. They have a sort of ironmonger's functionality about them.- Yeah.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Yes, they do. - There's no decoration on them.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- They're honest.- They're honest and they are what they are.- How much?
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- £20 to £30?- Perfect. They paid £18, the right price for that.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Now, the bottle-stopper which I guess is sort of Black Forest.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12I suppose so. Most of these things come from that part of Germany.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- A bit of carved pine... - It's quite fun, but there's a very small market for these.
0:33:17 > 0:33:24- I hope they haven't paid a lot for it because I don't see much potential in that.- How much?- £5 or £10?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- £25 they paid.- Oh, dear.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31On that happy note, let's check out their bonus buy because I think they'll need it.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Now, A, A...
0:33:33 > 0:33:35You spent 193.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39You gave James Braxton 107. James, what did you spend it on?
0:33:39 > 0:33:44Well, I got an idea of what they wanted to buy during our period
0:33:44 > 0:33:48and I thought I'd match them like for like and here it is.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50LAUGHTER
0:33:50 > 0:33:55So, they managed to alight on the most horrendous bottle-stopper.
0:33:55 > 0:34:01I was lured into somebody's back stock room and I suddenly saw this Black Forest bear stopper.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- Yeah.- And I thought, "They would not be able to resist that."
0:34:05 > 0:34:10- How much of our fantastic amount of money did you spend on it? - Lots of money.- Really?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12No, 25 quid. LAUGHTER
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- So we're going head-to-head.- We are.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- I still think mine will make more money.- Well, we'll see.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Brilliant.- We'll call him James.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23That's rather sweet.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- OK...- Very sweet.- You don't pick it now, you pick it later.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34But let's find out, for the audience at home, whether the auctioneer thinks he would pick it or not.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39- Well, would you believe it?- There we are.- It's another bottle-stopper.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I hope they have a little bit more luck with that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:48It's a bear which is more associated with the Black Forest for carving, so I think we're on better ground here.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53It is quite nicely done and thankfully in good condition, ears intact.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57But not of great value. I hope high hopes aren't riding on this bear.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- What is your estimate?- £5 to £10.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Double what the last one was? - About the same.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07- But not much money still.- Well, James Braxton managed to pay £25.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- Good luck to him with that. I can't see him making a profit. - All I can say is good luck to you!
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- We'll do our best. We'll do our best. - Thank you, Richard.
0:35:25 > 0:35:31- How are you feeling? - I'm quite excited, Tim.- Are you? - Yeah, I'm looking forward to this.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- I've not done an auction before. - Never?- No, this is the first time.
0:35:35 > 0:35:41- Enid, have you ever been to an auction?- Yes, but I didn't bid. The person I was with bought some ducks.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46- Did they?- Yes.- Going up a wall? - No, proper live ducks.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- Proper ducks? A livestock auction? - Yes.- Oh, I see. How very funny!
0:35:50 > 0:35:55- We've got no ducks today, but we hope you'll be lining up your ducks.- I hope so too.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58First item up are the three pieces of glass.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03I don't like to stick my neck out, but it's got to be a dead cert to make a profit on £16.50.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07Lot 264, three pieces of modern glass. £15 for them?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10At 15 anywhere? £10 then?
0:36:10 > 0:36:1310 is bid. Selling at 10... It's 12 now. 15.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It's £15, gentleman's bid.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21I'll sell at 15. All done at £15 then, last time...?
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- "You're bound to make a profit." You just made a loss!- That £1.50.- Yes.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30Lot 265 is the small silver and wooden whisky quaich.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34Start me on this at 15 if you will? £15. 18.
0:36:34 > 0:36:3620. 5.
0:36:36 > 0:36:4230. At £30. I'll sell at £30 then, last time...
0:36:42 > 0:36:46£30 is plus £2 which means, overall, you are plus 50p!
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Right, here we go then. Here's the wall mirror.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54Lot 266, a Rococo-style wall mirror with engraved plate.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Shall we say 30 for that? £30?
0:36:57 > 0:36:5920 then? 20 anywhere? 20 is bid. 25.
0:36:59 > 0:37:0130. 5...
0:37:01 > 0:37:04It's starting to creep up.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06At £35, I'll sell...
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- It's not creeping very far though. - Oh, dear.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Last time at £35...
0:37:11 > 0:37:16I don't believe that. That's five off 40, that's 18...
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Minus 22.50. What are you going to do?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Well, they are lovely objects.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Enid loves them. It might be the wrong day, but let's go with it.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- We're in trouble already. Let's just have some fun.- That's right.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- We're going to do the bonus buy. - Very good. I don't blame you.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- They are magnificent objects. - They are beautiful.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43Lot 270 is a pair of Pearlware porcelain chestnut baskets.
0:37:43 > 0:37:4645. £48 I'm bid. 50 now.
0:37:46 > 0:37:4855. 60.
0:37:48 > 0:37:505. 65.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- It's in the corner at £65. - My goodness!- 70, new bidder.
0:37:53 > 0:37:5675. 80. 85.
0:37:56 > 0:37:5890. 95. 100.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- The interest is continuing. - By the door at £110.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- At £110, I'll sell...- It could have been worse.- Could have been worse.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08All done at 110...
0:38:08 > 0:38:10The theme continues.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13That's a pound, eight, nine, ten.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Eight, nine, ten. Is that £110 on the nail?
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- Minus score.- Yes, that's not bad, really.- Well, it's pretty poor.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Yeah, it is, Tim.- But quite frankly, it is not your fault.
0:38:24 > 0:38:30- You had good goods. It just wasn't your day.- No, they were good objects.- They were good objects.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Colin did well.- All four of them. - We lost more than we bought.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38It's a bitter pill to have to swallow, but swallow it we must.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43- Yeah.- You never know, minus £110 might be a winning score. - It could be.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- Now, kids, do you know how the Reds got on?- No, they wouldn't tell us. They were so mean.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04They were so mean. Were they crying or did they look quite happy?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Quite happy.- They looked quite happy? - They were bluffing.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10They could be bluffing. There is that to it.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15Anyway, first up is the overlaid glass ceiling light shade. And here it comes.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Lot 285 is a blue and white, glass light bowl.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Start me on this at £20, if you will? £20 for this?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26£20 is bid. 25 now. 30.
0:39:26 > 0:39:285. 40.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- 5.- Uh-oh!- 50. 5. 60.
0:39:31 > 0:39:335. 70.
0:39:33 > 0:39:355. 75.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Thank you anyway. 75 on my left... - Half-price!
0:39:39 > 0:39:43At 75. All done elsewhere at £75...
0:39:43 > 0:39:45£75 is minus 75.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- That was a lovely lot.- A big hit. Now, the wrought-iron dogs.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Wrought-iron fire dogs. £12 will start me on these. £12 is bid.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57At £12, I'll sell. Are we done elsewhere at £12 then?
0:39:57 > 0:40:01- Last time...- £12 is minus £6. It's getting worse.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Minus 81.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Lot 287 is a novelty bottle-stopper in the form of a kissing couple.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10£15 for this? £10 then?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13£10 if you will? £5 anywhere?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16£5 is bid. Quickly, at 5.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18I'll sell at 5 if you're done. £5. 8 now.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23No? £8 near the cabinet. I'll sell at 8. At £8. Last time at 8...
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Bad luck, team. That's £8. That's two short of ten.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31That's minus 17, 81, 91, 98...
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- That's quite impressive!- Minus £98.
0:40:33 > 0:40:40- Are we going to compound the error and go with another bottle-stopper? - Absolutely.- That's the spirit.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Lot 291 is a small bottle-stopper, a Black Forest bear.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Lot 291 and bids start me here at 12.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51£15, I have.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53At £15. 18 now. 20. 22.
0:40:53 > 0:40:5725 and I'm out. At 25, it's in the room. I'll sell at £25.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Against you all elsewhere?
0:40:59 > 0:41:03Well done, James Braxton. You've been vindicated again.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05You win the bottle-stopper war.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Yes, you do. No profit, no loss. No pain, no gain on the bear stopper.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13The overall score remains as minus 98. That could be a winning score.
0:41:13 > 0:41:19Don't say a word to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment. Well done, James.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34Well, well, well! There are similarities between our teams today.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Both teams went with the bonus buy, both of which didn't do terribly well.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44There is only £12 between the teams' scores today
0:41:44 > 0:41:48which are substantially in the minus department.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53- £12 between you. Been chatting at all? - Chatting...- Not about the money.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Not about the money!
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Well, I have to reveal that the team that is running up today
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- are the Reds.- Oh!- Oh!
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Oh, dear.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- Oh, dear.- Mainly because of the chestnut baskets, of course.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- Well, yes. - You were minus £22.50 at one point.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15You had your punt with those very nice things and I don't blame you.
0:42:15 > 0:42:21They just didn't sell well. I admire you for having a go and regret that the strategy didn't work.
0:42:21 > 0:42:27- Had a nice time?- Wonderful time. - It's been brilliant, fantastic. - We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31But the victors today who win by only losing £98 are Ann and Ash!
0:42:31 > 0:42:38The only ray of sunshine was James Braxton's wiped face with the Black Forest bear stopper.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43- I took on their stopper. - Yes, you did.- And won.- You have won.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Your bung was better.- Yeah.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49On that happy note, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51ALL: Yes!
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I know, you're sitting there thinking,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57"I could have done better than that!"
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Well, what's stopping you?
0:42:59 > 0:43:03If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06It'll be splendid to see you.
