0:00:06 > 0:00:09It's a chilly old day here at Newark
0:00:09 > 0:00:11at the Nottinghamshire county showground,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14but the heat is about to come on our contestants
0:00:14 > 0:00:18who have just one hour to scoot round these thousands of stalls.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21So, let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Most of the Pilgrim Fathers hailed from the county of Nottinghamshire,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55heading off to the New World in search of salvation.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59There are many dealers here from around the world
0:00:59 > 0:01:02with all sorts of temptations for our teams.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06So, will they succumb to the sins of envy, pride and greed?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Let's have a quick glimpse of the wickedness coming up.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14The disco blues get busy on the wheels of steel.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Jimbo, take a look at this.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Every budding DJ needs one of these!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Whilst the reds just can't stop giggling.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30That's all still to come.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32But first, let's meet the teams.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40Today, our red devils are sisters-in-law Joanne and Diane.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45And our bad boys in blue are James and Steve. Hello, everyone!
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Hello!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Hi. Now, Joanne, you're often mistaken for being sisters.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55That's right. We wear a lot of the same clothes. Similar outfits.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58We pop up at all sorts of different events looking very similar.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- You don't swap clothes, though?- No.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- You have your own clothes.- We have a little bit.- Yes.- You do.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Sometimes.- Sometimes.- A bit of swapping goes on.- Yes.- Yes!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Absolutely.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- You're actually sisters-in-law. - That's right.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Did you know each other before that?
0:02:12 > 0:02:17No. I married Diane's brother about 12 years ago.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21That's how I met Diane. But we only became proper friends when we moved to the UK.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Where did you come from originally? - Cape Town, South Africa.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Did you move over with your families?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Yes, I came over first, and then Diane followed.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I'm glad you've settled and are happy.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Diane, you belong to a dance group. - Yes. We do.- Tell us about that.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40We both belong to the Jess Daley dance group, a local group in Cambridge.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43We do theatre dance, sort of contemporary jazz
0:02:43 > 0:02:47and we've done two shows so far. We've been there for three years.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51We're busy training for another one at the moment, which is great.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55The heap of rather delicious looking cup cakes sitting there
0:02:55 > 0:02:57are your responsibility?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Yes. I make cup cakes and I also do wedding cakes
0:03:01 > 0:03:04and I do workshops and teach people how to make these.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Very beautiful. Tell me about that rose in the middle.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12That's my vintage rose, I call it. My signature sort of look that I do.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Tell us about the mixture for the sponge itself.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Special ingredients.- South African. It's a South African mixture
0:03:18 > 0:03:21handed down from my gran.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- You're not going to give the secret away?- No.- Who's going to have those later?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Hopefully you can have one! - Ooh! Thank you very much.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Now, James, I understand you're both scientists and you met in the lab.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38Yes. I moved over here a couple of years ago to take up a position as a molecular biologist in Nottingham.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40And I was plonked down next to Steve
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and at first we never really got on.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44He was really surly.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Then after a couple of weeks we got on and started chatting more.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We had the same sort of humour. We're both a bit risque.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, yes?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57And we started chatting and I said, "Dude, what happened?"
0:03:57 > 0:03:59And he's like, "The day you started was the day I quit smoking."
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- So that made sense! - That's understandable, isn't it?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Where did you come over from, James?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- I'm from Sydney in Australia.- Right. - Born and raised.- Right.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13The idea of coming to the UK was to get more experience as a scientist
0:04:13 > 0:04:14or better jobs, or what?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17To get more experience. To see what it's like to work in Europe
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and travel more in Europe.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Also a bit about seeing the mother country.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25My parents are both from Birmingham, so I wanted to come back and see where they grew up.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29But before you were a scientist, you trained as an opera singer.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I started training and taking classes and performing in competitions.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I auditioned for the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38The day my results were coming back to let me know if I'd been accepted,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42I watched Jurassic Park on TV and thought, "That looks like more fun!"
0:04:42 > 0:04:46So I resigned and took up a position studying science instead.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Really?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Steve, you're still studying?
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Yes, I'm completing my PhD in systems molecular biology.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59- Oh, yes.- Essentially I work with James and we work on bacterial communication.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02What I do is try to simulate the reactions that happen
0:05:02 > 0:05:05once the bacterium receives these signals on a computer.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08With this curious mixture of music and science,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10what sort of things will you go for today on Bargain Hunt?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Essentially, I like Art Deco things.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16It's quite popular at the moment, Art Deco.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19If we can find something like that, a small clock or whatever,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23something to go on the mantelpiece, I think that might sell well.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25You've got plenty of ideas.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28There's a lot in the chat.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30What's going to happen in actuality?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Here we go. Here's your £300. £300 apiece.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go. Very, very good luck.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Well, today, it's going to be either buns or bugs!
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Representing the reds, our catch of the day, Phil Serrell.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56And for the blues, it's smiles all the way to the bank
0:05:56 > 0:05:57with Anita Manning.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Diane and Joanne.- No. - No. Other way round!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Can't I just call you both Anne? - Yes!- That's fine!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07We've got 300 quid. What do you guys want to buy?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11We were thinking before, cos it's an online auction,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14we might try and get some smaller unique collectables.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Something quirky and wacky. We like that sort of thing.- Here I am!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19And there you go!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Maybe brooches, some item of jewellery.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Definitely gold, cos the gold price is up at the moment.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- You've definitely worked it out, boys, so let's get going.- Brilliant.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Let's go and find something bonkers.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Come on, Anne!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Looks like Phil's got his hands full!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Alas, poor Yorick!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I knew him well. But not in Newark.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Do you like that bin?- A bin?!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Our red devils don't want anything throwaway.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55And just in case you didn't know where the blue team have got to,
0:06:55 > 0:06:56AIR RAID WARNING
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- It's a blotter.- Oh.- A blotter?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- But I think it's a bit dull, really. - Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Bins and blotters, eh? This is gripping stuff, Phil(!)
0:07:08 > 0:07:10We don't do dull on Bargain Hunt.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13We need something that will return a good profit.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Well, this should return, all right!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- It's not very good. - Is it not a good one?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20It's kind of been split.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23So someone's tried to throw it and it's cracked.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- Is that not what it's for?- Not the ones with this intricate thing.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I don't know much about it, to be honest.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I don't know if it's something that was brought back as a tourist thing?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38A souvenir from a trip to Australia.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42It feels as if it's got a bit of age about it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Have you seen these come up in auction before?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Not in Glasgow!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Sounds like James is missing home.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Meanwhile, the reds are missing a seasoned dealer's trick,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57according to Phil.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Aww!- Oh, I love that.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Right, can I give you a tip here?
0:08:03 > 0:08:08When you want to buy something, don't stand and go, "Aw! Isn't it sweet!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10"I really like that. I love that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12"I really, really like that."
0:08:12 > 0:08:16The thing to do is just stand and go, "Oh, I don't know."
0:08:16 > 0:08:19So let's start again. What do you think to that?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Hmm. It's a bit worn.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- I don't like it.- I do, I do!
0:08:24 > 0:08:29But at £150, a bit overpriced for a knackered old nag, isn't it!
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Now, if our blue boys could get their hands on some of the reds' cupcakes,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38this next find could be a winning combo!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Did you ever have a teasmade? Do you know how noisy they are?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It's a design classic, boys,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47with its original wiring!
0:08:47 > 0:08:51You would probably have to rewire it if you were buying it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53But that's not a problem.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56If we look at the body, it's chrome.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00That isn't bad because that's a material that was popular at this period.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02We have a black base, which I like.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05The black dial on the clock
0:09:05 > 0:09:07and altogether it's a design classic.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12I really like it. It's a classic piece of engineering.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15If you were to sell this at auction, what would you expect?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Maybe £60. 50, 60. Is that in the realms of possibility?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- VENDOR:- Can't do it, no. 80 quid will buy it.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Would you go 75 for cash?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Yeah, go on. 75.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Do you want to buy it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30We've got two scientists here.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34And the first thing they go for, although it's functional,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37it has an artistic look as well.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I like it cos it's clean and simple, which is what you want from scientific equipment.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46I'm not sold, but you know what? I'll give you it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- If you want to see... - Is that a deal for 75?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- 75 will do me.- OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- I'm on board.- OK.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55That's one down.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58You guys don't hang about!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Believe it or not, the first automatic tea-makers
0:10:01 > 0:10:04were gas powered and dated back to the 1890s.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Meanwhile, the reds have got their eye on something 19th century, too.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13This is what I would call a piggin or feeding bucket.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17That's lovely, isn't it. I could do that for £60.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Could you get it under 50 quid for us?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I'll check.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Do you like that?- Yes.- It's very nice. I really like it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29No, it's got to be on 60 cos that's more or less what it cost me.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- OK.- But it is a belter, isn't it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33About 1820, 1840?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Probably 1840. Mid 19th-century.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- It had been a measure? - It was probably for feeding.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Feeding?- Right.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Horses and sheep and that.- OK.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I like the little handle.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Yeah, it's cute.- Yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50If you look at all this here,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52those are the medullary rays of oak.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's the way the timber is sawn.
0:10:55 > 0:11:01- And that there really shows that broad oak grain.- Oh.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05This is coopered. Coopered is basically a barrel.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- So you've got all these staves here. - Yes.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12And the only thing holding them together is this metal hoop.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Wow.- Which are then pegged.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19I can imagine that in the hall of a country house.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- That's what I was thinking. - In the kitchen, flowers in it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Kindling wood by a big log fireplace.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- I just think it's a nice thing. - It's simple, isn't it?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Simple but really, really nice.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Yeah.- What's it going to make in auction?
0:11:32 > 0:11:38- In the right sale, that could make 80 to £120.- Yes.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40In the wrong sale, it could make 40 quid.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Right. That's not too good.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- In my view, the gamble is - what are you charging us? 60 quid?- Yes.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51The gamble is you might lose 20, you might make 40 or 50.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- I think it's worth a gamble. - I'd go for that.- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- It's a nice thing to own. You both like it.- Yes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I think it's really, really nice.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01We like that. Thank you for helping us out. Thank you very much.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Deal done, eh?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Nice wellies, reds!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Now, our boffins in blue
0:12:07 > 0:12:10are past the halfway mark and seem to have lost Anita.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Look at this, James. I wonder what it is.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17It's like a spirit level telescope of some description.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Where's Anita?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21It's like a sextant.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It's used for levelling, surveying and things.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Scientific instrument, chaps?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- You've found something that... - I really like this.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I like the look of this.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34So it's all clear and you can see to the distance.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- It has level guides in it. - Let's have a look.- It's weighty!
0:12:37 > 0:12:38It is weighty!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40What do you think they made this out of, Anita?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43What metal is that? It's very heavy.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44I think it's a brass.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49It's a brass with a kind of a finish it has on it.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- Yes.- There.- I like the engineering that goes into these things.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56They're beautiful but also practical.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Do we have the box with it? - It comes in a box.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02It's from Birmingham, which is local. In the Midlands, as well.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04It's interesting to have that label there.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- How much is it?- It's got a price tag of £138.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10OK. Let's call the dealer over.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Which of you are good at bargaining? - He is. He's the spiel.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Excuse me, sir.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19I have two scientists here
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and they're interested in this instrument.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24You've got it up for 138.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Yes.- Would you take 110?- I think I could knock the eight off, don't you?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- I think you could do better than that.- 125.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32- 125?- 125.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35If you'd go 125, would you go 120 for cash?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37120 for cash. I'll take a cheque.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40- JAMES:- I reckon 125 is fair.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- That's good of you.- Is that all right, boys?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- It's a deal.- It's a deal.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Gentlemen, very fair. - Thanks very much.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49So, two items bought by the blues.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51But with less than 20 minutes to go,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54the reds have still to find their second item.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57And here's proof that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03What it is, is that someone - your wife -
0:14:03 > 0:14:07has taken a book, cut the innards out of it,
0:14:07 > 0:14:08and lined it
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and it's a little secret jewel box.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14What's the very best finito, "there is no more"?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- "There is no more" less than £20. That's the death.- Do you like that?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- No.- You do, don't you?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22I do, actually!
0:14:22 > 0:14:24They're learning, aren't they? Getting better.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Could I ask you to hang on to that for ten minutes for us,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31while we have a quick root around? See what else we can find.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Now, Steve runs a disco in his spare time
0:14:33 > 0:14:35so this should be right up his street!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Here, Jimbo, take a look at this.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Every budding DJ needs one of these.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Know what I mean?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45If you have a little look in the top here,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48there should be a little record collection as well.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49There is a record. Who is it?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Wake Up, Little Susie, by The Everly Brothers.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57The Everly Brothers were very popular, back in the day.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Let's move on.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Never mind, "Wake up, little Susie"!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's a case of "Wake up, Diane and Joanne"!
0:15:09 > 0:15:1115 minutes and counting down.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I love that. An apple corer.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- An apple corer and apple peeler. - I like that. That's cool.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20What's nice is that it's English.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23So you bodge your apple on there,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and then you wind that back.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29As you turn it, it peels it on there.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Oh, that's quite cool.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32- Do you like that? - Yes, that's quirky.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Sir, your apple peeler.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Can we get that with a two in front of it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43I can do that for 30.
0:15:43 > 0:15:49- OK. You couldn't get me just under the £30 mark for it?- 28.- OK.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Do you like that?- Yes. - That's wicked.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53A nice little brass badge on it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- It's lovely, isn't it? If it's made in England, it would be about 1895? - It would be.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00This is made in England. Most of these were made in America.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04The Americans were fanatics for apples and apple peelers.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08There's one in America that peels three apples at the same time.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Wow!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13£28. I would have it.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15What you should say is "core"!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Cor!- Cor!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Shake the man by the hand.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Thank you!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Now, this little apple corer and peeler
0:16:26 > 0:16:27has stood the test of time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32You can still buy almost exactly the same design today. How good is that?
0:16:32 > 0:16:38Our plan was for something pretty and kind of decorative.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39And we've gone for useful!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Practical.- Practical items,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43which is not what we would usually do.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Must be Phil's influence!- Phil's influence, I reckon.- Yeah.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50So, the reds have been buying stuff that's useful and practical,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53and it looks like the blues are playing the same game.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- What do you think of this, Anita? - It's quite interesting.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- What is it?- It's a campaign chair.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03You take that out there.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Right. OK. And somebody holds here.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10And you go round there.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's a sort of sedan chair.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14It really is a bit of fun
0:17:14 > 0:17:20and I quite like where we have these moveable hands and moveable pieces here.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's really a conversation piece.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24We've got a maker's name here.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27T.W. Buxton. Sheffield.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Let's turn it round and have a proper look at it.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35The most important thing is that this canework or Bergere work
0:17:35 > 0:17:36is in good condition,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39because it's very expensive to get repaired.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I think this may have been replaced at one point
0:17:42 > 0:17:44but it's still in good order.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46What about age on something like this?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It's about 1900s up to 1920s.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- What about the price, Anita? - The price is £68.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55You want to get it cheaper than that.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I think you're looking to get around about 35, 40.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03If you can do that, you're doing well and it's worth a go.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05But only if you like the chair.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I think it's nice. Jimbo, what do you reckon?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Yeah, I like it. I'm on board. Go get us a deal!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12All right.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Phil's team have been looking for something quirky
0:18:16 > 0:18:21and this is quirky with a capital Q, and certainly floats their boat.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26That looks really nice. Nice bit of sporting equipment.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Sporting memorabilia.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- It's like a table badminton set. - Yeah.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- I've never heard of table badminton. - No, me neither.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Those are sweet, aren't they?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Aw!- Aww!- What have I told you before?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44What happens is this clamps onto the edge of your dining table
0:18:44 > 0:18:47and you run your net across the dining table.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Then you've got yourself your badminton game.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I would think something like that, on a bad day, 30 to 40 quid
0:18:53 > 0:18:58and on a good day, it might be somewhere between 60 and 80. That's what I think roughly.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Is there anything else on this stall that grabs you?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05What might be an idea... Do you like the boat?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Yes.- The boat's only £42.
0:19:07 > 0:19:14It's a pond yacht. These things can be, like this big, worth £1,000 or more.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17So they are collectable in their own right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19The fact that they're both toys,
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- if you can do the two together. - Yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26The thing to do is ask what's the best for this, what's the best for that,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- and what's the best for the two. - OK. Separate and together.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Boats and badders, eh?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32A quirky combo, indeed!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Bargain! 68 on the ticket,
0:19:35 > 0:19:3737 for cash!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Well done!- Didn't you do well!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Well done. So you're happy with that, guys?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Very, very happy with that. - I'm pleased. I'm happy, yeah.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Feel of the bones. - We've got three items,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48three interesting items,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51so now it's time for a nice cup of tea!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- It is.- I think so.- Let's go!
0:19:53 > 0:19:57So the blues are home and dry with time to spare.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00But the reds have just three minutes left on the clock.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05The badminton set. Table badminton. What date would that be?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I think it's early 1900s.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10So somewhere between 1900 and 1920.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Yes.- So the same age as the pond yacht.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Both sporting, yes. - What's the ticket price on that?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I'm asking 100, but I could do a bit less.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20What's the best you could do that for?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22The very best on the badminton is 80.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- I'll do you the two for 105. - Let's have a think.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- We need to think.- You've got now about two minutes left.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31You've got to make a decision.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Either one...- Or both. That'll be the decision.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Maybe we should do both.- Do both?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38- We haven't spent very much.- No.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I think we should do both.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43OK. You like that and I like that, so we'll have to go for both.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Done deal. Well done. Tell the lady.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Yes, we'd like to go for both, please.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Thank you very much.- 105.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Thanks very much. Thank you.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53A pleasure!
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Well, we survived the shop. The hour is now up.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Now, let's check out what the red team bought.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Diane and Joanne paid £60
0:21:07 > 0:21:11for this coopered oak feeding bucket known as a piggin.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19From feeding to fruit. The reds paid £28 for the apple corer and peeler.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Finally, with their 60 minutes all but gone,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25they bought the indoor badminton set
0:21:25 > 0:21:28and toy yacht for a total of £105.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Seems to me you've been having a bit of a party, you lot.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Absolutely!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Have you had a ball?- It's been great.- Been a breeze?- Yes!
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Good. How much did you spend all round?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Um... 193.- 193.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44193. Did you? That's good.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I'd like £107 of leftover lolly, please. Who's got that?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- I do.- OK, Joanne. Thank you very much. Good.
0:21:50 > 0:21:56- Which is your favourite piece? - The apple corer/peeler item.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59That's your favourite. Do you agree, Diane?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- No.- What's your favourite? - The wooden barrel.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- Is it going to bring the profit, your barrel?- I think it will.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Do you agree?- Yeah.- Lovely. You agreed about something!
0:22:09 > 0:22:12£107 to you, Serrell. You love this bit, don't you?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Yes, I do.- Trotting off and doing your best.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- It's going to be a secret.- Is it? - Ooh!- Not for long, it ain't!
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Oo-oo-oo!
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Anyway, mum's the word right now. Have a nice cup of tea and warm up.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the blue team bought, aren't we?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32The boffins in blue paid £75 for the chrome-plated teasmade.
0:22:33 > 0:22:39From chrome to brass. Next they paid £125 for the surveyor's level.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Finally, £37 was exchanged
0:22:44 > 0:22:47for this Victorian mahogany invalid's chair.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- You spent a lot of money.- Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Did you spend a lot of money?- Yes!
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Great! How much did you spend?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- We did 237.- You never did!- We did.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- £63 of leftover, then? - Jimmy's got that.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'll have that, James. Thank you very much.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- There you go.- You don't like handing that over one little bit!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Tell me, old fruit, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:08 > 0:23:12I really like the surveyor scope. I rate it. It's quite beautiful.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- OK. What about you, Steve?- Again, I'd day the surveyor's tool.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I think that's the one that's going to fetch a bit of profit.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22You're a couple of rocket scientists. You can work out what's what!
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Super-duper. Have you ever been with such intelligent contestants?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28They were absolutely great.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- They took me around. I just stood and enjoyed the show!- Good.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37We'll enjoy your next bit of the performance, Anita, which is finding your bonus buy.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Is that going to be difficult?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41No. There is something that I'm thinking about
0:23:41 > 0:23:45that I have been drawn back to.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Ahh!
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Intriguing, Anita.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56A couple of weeks later, and we're all together again
0:23:56 > 0:23:59in the sale rooms of Golding, Young and Moore in Lincoln.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Before we have a chat with auctioneer Colin Young,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05here's a little piece of history that I've spotted.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18It's not so often in these auctions that we come across good militaria.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20But here's a prime example.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25They both relate to the Leicestershire Yeomanry Regiment
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and these two pieces probably date
0:24:28 > 0:24:30from the 1850s.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35And we know that these pieces cannot have been made before 1844
0:24:35 > 0:24:37because it was in that year
0:24:37 > 0:24:41that Prince Albert allowed the regiment to use his name
0:24:41 > 0:24:45hence the embroidery here, "Prince Albert's Own".
0:24:46 > 0:24:49This object is a sabretache.
0:24:49 > 0:24:56It's a sort of satchel or wallet that would have been worn by the yeomanry cavalry officer
0:24:56 > 0:25:00suspended from these three points on the top.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03And behind, it opens up to reveal the pouch
0:25:03 > 0:25:08into which you'd put secret documents or instructions.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Basically, anything that you wanted to tuck away
0:25:11 > 0:25:14whilst cantering around on the back of your charger.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17So that's the sabretache.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20This thing is the cartridge bag.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Again, a finely-woven silver-mounted belt
0:25:25 > 0:25:27and then this hinged compartment
0:25:27 > 0:25:30which, if I open it up, you can see inside
0:25:30 > 0:25:34six holes for six cartridges.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38And the maker who made it is a man called Hamburger
0:25:38 > 0:25:42who was in business in London, in Covent Garden,
0:25:42 > 0:25:47making militaria-related embroidered objects.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50And what an exquisite job he's done.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55The auction estimate in the sale today is 700 to £900.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58What are the two pieces likely to make?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Well, I fancy a little more than that.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07And we'll find out exactly how much it fetches at the auction, later on.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Morning, Colin. - Morning. How are you, Tim?
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Very well, and delighted to be here in your Lincoln sale room.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Let's start off with the reds' first object,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20which is this so-called piggin here,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23which I fancy is a bit of a pig in a poke
0:26:23 > 0:26:28because this is something that's been imported from Indonesia or the Far East.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yes, we see plenty of them through the sales.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33It could be a bit of a bodge-up, but on the other hand,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35what's it going to bring in the auction
0:26:35 > 0:26:38as a sort of rustic, cottage piece
0:26:38 > 0:26:40for sticks or stones or something.
0:26:40 > 0:26:4330 to £50. There'll be a fair bit of interest in it, I'd have thought.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46OK, great. £60 paid.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48So they may be able to at least wipe their face.
0:26:48 > 0:26:55Next up is this patent apple peeler, which is such an intriguing object.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We've loaded it up with an apple
0:26:57 > 0:27:02and I'm going to have a go and see just exactly how this thing works.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05If we give it a bit of a scoop like that,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09you can see the device in action.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Isn't that clever?- Amazing. - Clever, isn't it?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It is a nice piece of engineering.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- What's it worth?- 25 to 40 range.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Fair enough. £28 paid. They didn't pay a fortune.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23It is a bit of fun and I reckon they'll make a small profit out of it. Brilliant.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25And their last item is sporting.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29This table badminton set.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's a bit of a "guess a price", I reckon, on that.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33What do you think it might bring, Colin?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37It's really that combination of having the pond yacht with it as well.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Nice juvenalia group.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Maybe 40 to £60 for them all together?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!- Really?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46£105, they paid.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- Hmm.- I think they got thoroughly carried away, actually.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54We'll have to hope that your audience do, too,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58otherwise, they'll need the bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Diane, Joanne,
0:28:00 > 0:28:04you spent £193. You gave Philip £107. What did you buy, Phil?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Place your right hand... No, we won't go that far!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- You recognise that, don't you? - Yes!- Yes!
0:28:10 > 0:28:12And we know it's an old book
0:28:12 > 0:28:15but the guy's wife made these.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17And I got it for 20 quid.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I think it's a sweet little thing.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23So just share this with me.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26You have already been shopping and you nearly bought this?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29We had a sort of slight row, not row,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- but we moved on to finer things. - Yes, we did, yes.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36All your little precious at home that you don't want anybody to come across...
0:28:36 > 0:28:41- Make a great jewellery box.- Any sort of private things in a book case.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43How would anybody know without going through the whole lot?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Phil, I think that's a really nice thing.- Good.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48And you like it, girls, cos you nearly bought it.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Yes!
0:28:50 > 0:28:52All these secrets you three have been keeping from me
0:28:52 > 0:28:55during the shopping! Anyway,
0:28:55 > 0:29:00you pick it later. Let's find out from the auctioneer what he thinks
0:29:00 > 0:29:01about Phil's little secret book.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04This is rather fun.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06It is. A good little lot.
0:29:06 > 0:29:1019th-century book, nice marbled boards. Leather spine.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13There appears to be something missing!
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- It works, though.- It works really, really well.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18It's a really good home security device!
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Isn't it, exactly.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23But done in a period object. What's it worth, then?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I suppose 25 to £40, maybe.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31It's useful over and above what it would have been as a book.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Exactly. I think Philip Serrell's been clever.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36He only paid £20. So that's perfect.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Now, moving on to the blues.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43The blues have got the chromed teasmade by Hawkins.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48I don't know about that. Is it something that anybody would buy and use? Probably not.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53No. But it is that retro piece that comes through sale rooms
0:29:53 > 0:29:55that everybody does clamour for.
0:29:55 > 0:30:01Maybe 25 to £40, and with that estimate, I'm being a bit generous.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Really? £75 paid.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- It's a lot, isn't it?- It is a lot.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09That is a big loser. Next is the surveyor's level.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Well, a lot of them come through sales
0:30:12 > 0:30:15because they're generally not used
0:30:15 > 0:30:18because they're replaced by electronic methods, these days.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22So there are lots of these old instruments knocking around. What's that one worth, Colin?
0:30:22 > 0:30:2730 to £50 is the range, because they are fairly common.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Sadly, our team have paid £125 for this.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Which is going to be, I think, a difficult price to achieve?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39I think it is. I would class a good result at being 70 or £80.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44There you go. So what with the loss on the teasmade and the loss on the level,
0:30:44 > 0:30:48they're pinning their hopes on this so-called sedan chair,
0:30:48 > 0:30:52which is nothing more than an invalid's chair, really, isn't it?
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Yeah. At least it's got all of its carriage pieces together.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00It has been re-caned and has that sort of,
0:31:00 > 0:31:05- bit too much of a fresh look on there, really.- Yes.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- What do you think it's worth? - I've placed an estimate of 60 to 90 on it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Have you, really?- Yeah.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Well, that's brilliant!- Is it? - Cos they only paid £37.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I think that's good. It's certainly a good purchase.
0:31:18 > 0:31:24It looks to me that the invalid's chair is the only bright star on the horizon.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Depending how that gets on, will determine whether they need their bonus buy or not.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Right. James, Steve, excitement. The leftover lolly moment.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37You spent a magnificent 237
0:31:37 > 0:31:40and you gave Anita £63. Anita, what did you spend it on?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42I think you've seen this one before, boys!
0:31:42 > 0:31:45LAUGHTER
0:31:45 > 0:31:49The boys agonised over this. They both liked it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Especially you, darling!
0:31:50 > 0:31:55But they weren't quite sure and they sought on.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59But I decided that you liked it so much that I would go back and buy it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03It is a very charming boomerang.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06I love the carving. A wee bit naive.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09And we all loved that fat kangaroo.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12How much did you get it for, in the end?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14In the end, £50.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16What do you think it might do in the auction?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I have absolutely no idea!
0:32:19 > 0:32:22That's what I like to hear(!)
0:32:22 > 0:32:25I guess we just got to chuck it out there and see what comes back!
0:32:26 > 0:32:29I'd get out of the laboratory a bit more, if I were you.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31No, seriously, that's great fun, isn't it?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34And who knows what will happen?
0:32:34 > 0:32:39But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the boomerang!
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Right, have you ever thrown one of these things?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I haven't, no.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45But mind you, in a sale room,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48it's probably a dangerous activity!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- I suggest you try it out in a field, somewhere!- Oh, right!
0:32:50 > 0:32:56I've thrown a few of them in my time and not one can I get to come back!
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Obviously quite an art to it. - Yes, exactly.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01We placed an estimate on that of 30 to £50.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06OK. Well, Anita has bought it for £50 and she rates it.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07I think that's got a chance.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10You're always optimistic, Colin, which is lovely.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13I wish you God's speed on the rostrum today.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Start the bidding on this one already at 50? 50. Five.
0:33:16 > 0:33:1860. Five. At 65. 70, surely?
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Diane, Joanne, what do you know about anything, you lovely girls?
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- Anything?- No.- Know nothing about anything?- No. Nothing about nothing!
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Correct answer! We're on the edge of the auction. Are you excited?
0:33:32 > 0:33:33- Very excited.- And you, Joanne?- Yes!
0:33:33 > 0:33:37First up is your coopered barrel. Here it comes, girls.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Lot 195 is a 19th-century oak and iron piggin.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Who's going to start me at £30?
0:33:42 > 0:33:4530. 20 to go, then, surely. 20. Who's coming in first?
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- £20?!- Ten?- This is not good.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Everyone. 12 bid. 15. 15. 18. 18
0:33:51 > 0:33:5320 and two now. £20 I'm bid. Two do I see now?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Two and five. 28.
0:33:55 > 0:33:5830 now. £30 bid. Two, if you like.
0:33:58 > 0:34:0032. 32 bid. 35 bid. No?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02£35 all done.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Well, it could have been worse.
0:34:03 > 0:34:0635. Five off 40. That's minus £25.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07Now, your peeler.
0:34:07 > 0:34:13Lot 196 is a late 19th early 20th-century apple peeler.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Who's going to start me at £50 for it?
0:34:15 > 0:34:1750? 20, then?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19At 20 bid. 22 on the net.
0:34:19 > 0:34:2325. 28 now? 28 bid.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25£25. Any more bids now? At 25. 30.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27At 30 bid. 32 now.
0:34:27 > 0:34:3032. 35, surely?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33All done then at £32.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35£32. Plus four pounds. You've made a profit, girls.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37You're minus 21.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Now, here's your big number. Your badminton set.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44197 is the cased Arena badminton set
0:34:44 > 0:34:47and you also get a pond yacht to go with it as well.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50There we go. 197. Who's going to start me at £30?
0:34:50 > 0:34:5230? 20 to go, then.
0:34:52 > 0:34:5422. 25.
0:34:54 > 0:34:5628. Bid 30 now? £28 I'm bid.
0:34:56 > 0:34:5830 I'm on now. 30. 32 now?
0:34:58 > 0:35:0132. No? £30 bid. I'm bid at 30. 32.
0:35:01 > 0:35:0435? 38 now. 40 bid.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09- 42 now. 42. 45. 48. - Hang on, he's going on.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Selling in the second row at £45.
0:35:11 > 0:35:1445 is £60 off the number.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Minus 60. You were minus 21 before.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19You're now minus 81.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22They do take it really well, don't they?
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Straighten up a few notches.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27I dread to think what would happen if you started making a profit!
0:35:27 > 0:35:29We'd turn cartwheels!
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Seriously, that is not kind, is it?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Minus 60 on that game.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38Anyway, what are we going to do about the French leather book?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Go for it.- Yeah.- Yes.- Give it a go?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42You've got no choice, really!
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- It's a lovely thing.- It is. - You think it's lovely.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47OK. We're going to go with the French leather book
0:35:47 > 0:35:49with the secret compartment.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Yes?- Yes!- We're going with it.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53A very interesting lot, this.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56A 19th-century French leather-bound book
0:35:56 > 0:35:57with a secret compartment.
0:35:57 > 0:35:5920 to go, then.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- 20 would be good.- 15 bid.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0318 bid now.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0620 now? The bid's in France.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0818 bid. Is there 20 anywhere else now?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10It's on the market, then,
0:36:10 > 0:36:12and it appears that it's going home as well.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Sold at 18.- £18 is minus two pounds.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19So overall you're minus £83.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22And that, girls, is nothing to laugh about!
0:36:22 > 0:36:26But the way things are going, it could today be a winning score.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Don't be depressed. Don't say a word to the blues
0:36:28 > 0:36:30and all will be revealed in a moment, yes?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Yes!- Yes!- Thank you!
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Now, Jimmy, Steve. This is the edge.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Excited?- Yes.- Yeah, looking forward to it.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- You don't know how the reds got on? - No.- Not a clue.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Good. We don't want you to.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52First lot up is your teasmade. Here it comes.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57Lot 212 is the vintage Hawkins chrome-plated teasmade.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Who's going to start me at £40 for it?
0:37:00 > 0:37:0240. £40, anybody? 40.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- 30 to go, then. 30.- Come on.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Nobody wants a cuppa.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10At 30. 32, now? 32. 35 bid.
0:37:10 > 0:37:1538 now? At 35. 38 bid. 40. £40 I'm bid. 42 now?
0:37:15 > 0:37:16At £40 bid. 42 now do I see?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19At £40 I'm bid. 42. 45 bid.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2248 now. 55 on the internet.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23- 60 on the book.- Yes!
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- 65 now. At £60. Commission bidder takes it. 65 on the net.- Yes!
0:37:28 > 0:37:3065. 70 anywhere else now?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33At 65. Done and finished. You're out in the room.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Selling at £65.
0:37:34 > 0:37:40- That's not too bad.- Minus ten. He thought 25 to 40 and you made 65.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- Excellent.- Pretty awesome.- Let's hope he's out on the level.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48Showing next is the 20th-century oxidised brass surveying level.
0:37:48 > 0:37:5080? 50 to go, then, surely? £50, anyone?
0:37:50 > 0:37:5250?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Well, 30, then.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Ten? I thought that was coming!
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Ten I'm bid. 10. 15 do I see?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01We ought to crack on. At ten bid. 15. 20, do I see? £20 I'm bid.
0:38:01 > 0:38:0420 bid. Five. Bid 30 now. £30 bid.
0:38:04 > 0:38:0630. 35, may I say?
0:38:06 > 0:38:0832. 32 will do. 35.
0:38:08 > 0:38:1138, now? 38 bid, surely?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13At 35, selling in the second row.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14At £35.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- That's awful!- Minus £90.
0:38:17 > 0:38:23I fear it is. Now, here comes the invalid's chair.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28Lot 214 is the Victorian mahogany sedan chair by Buxton of Sheffield.
0:38:28 > 0:38:3150 if we must. £50. Who's first bid?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- 50?- 50.- Should be down here.
0:38:33 > 0:38:3550. £50 bid. Five now, surely.
0:38:35 > 0:38:3755 on the net. 60 in the room. 60.
0:38:37 > 0:38:4165 now. At £70? £70 bid.
0:38:41 > 0:38:4275 now do I see? 75.
0:38:42 > 0:38:4480 bid. 85.
0:38:46 > 0:38:4888? You look half unsure.
0:38:48 > 0:38:5088 bid. 90 now.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Yes!- Let's go, Colin!- Come on! - 90 do I see?
0:38:52 > 0:38:5492.
0:38:54 > 0:38:5595.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5898? You know they'll go 100!
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Trust me, I'm an auctioneer! 98!
0:39:00 > 0:39:02100, now, do I see?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04100 bid. At 100.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Yes!- Another two? No?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Going this time and selling on the net then, at £100.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14That is plus £63 and I am amazed!
0:39:14 > 0:39:15- That is fantastic.- Amazing!
0:39:15 > 0:39:18£63 is an excellent profit.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- I'm happy!- It's amazing!
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Dear, oh, dear!
0:39:22 > 0:39:27So does that mean that you are £37 down? I'm afraid it does.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31You're minus 37, even after that excellent result. Minus £37.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33What are you going to do about the boomerang?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Be careful.- Do you want this boomerang to come back or not?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Let's chuck it in there! See if it brings back a profit!
0:39:39 > 0:39:42See if it hits someone!
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48This is an Australian Aboriginal boomerang this time.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Carved with two kangaroos.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Who's going to start me at £50 for it? 50? 30 to go. £30, anybody?
0:39:55 > 0:39:5930? £10? Thank you. £10 bid.

0:40:09 > 0:40:13Any more bids? Selling this time at £22.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16That is minus 65 overall.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17That is bad luck, isn't it?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20All that stress, all that strain, all that aggro!
0:40:20 > 0:40:22You finished up at minus 65.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Still, it could be a winning score. Don't talk to the reds
0:40:25 > 0:40:27and all will be revealed in a moment. Well done, chaps!
0:40:35 > 0:40:37But before we announce the final scores,
0:40:37 > 0:40:40there's one more lot to go under the hammer.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Next up is the militaria,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46that lovely yeomanry set of kit,
0:40:46 > 0:40:49the sabretache and the cartridge case.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51The auction estimate is 700 to £900.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Are we about to have a big surprise? Let's hope so.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58One of the most interesting pieces of militaria to come through the sale.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01What shall we say for it? £1,000, anybody? £1,000 bid.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03At 1,000. 1,100 now surely?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06At 1,000. 1,100? 1,100. 1,200.
0:41:06 > 0:41:0713 now. 1,300 bid.
0:41:07 > 0:41:1014. 15 do I see?
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- 1,500 bid. 16?- Double the estimate.
0:41:13 > 0:41:1517. 18.
0:41:15 > 0:41:1619.
0:41:16 > 0:41:182,000 bid.
0:41:18 > 0:41:192,200.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- 2,400.- Triple the estimate!
0:41:22 > 0:41:2526 now do I see? 2,600 bid.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26At 2,600 bid. Any more now?
0:41:26 > 0:41:282,600. 2,800.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32At 2,800. At 2,900. I've got you at 2,900.
0:41:32 > 0:41:343,000 now? 3,000 bid.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36We will go, then, at £3,000.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Gosh, how brilliant is that?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I told you it was a good one!
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Well, well, well. What fun, eh?
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Yes!- The lovely thing is that neither team
0:41:53 > 0:41:54is going to show each other up
0:41:54 > 0:41:56because they've both done terribly badly!
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Which makes the reds giggle particularly hard
0:42:02 > 0:42:04because they have done actually particularly badly!
0:42:06 > 0:42:11I mean, minus £60 on the badminton set.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15I don't know. You can't survive from a body blow like that, can you?
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I have got the apple peeler, though.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- Yes.- Which made you four pounds profit.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21So that is something, isn't it?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24I'm afraid to say, girls, the overall total is minus 83
0:42:24 > 0:42:26which means you are the runners-up.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Fantastic spirit and good fun.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30So thank you, but commiserations.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34The victors, though, today are the boys who managed to win by losing £65!
0:42:35 > 0:42:42- Yeah!- Minus £90 on the level was a fair old whack to lose!
0:42:42 > 0:42:46But making £63 on the sedan chair
0:42:46 > 0:42:49was an unbelievable victory.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51So you finish up as being minus 65.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- But you had a nice time?- We had a great time. It was lots of fun.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- Good. What about you, Steven?- That boomerang came back and bit us!
0:42:58 > 0:43:00It whacked us from behind.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04The boomerang, minus 28, was not a great number, either.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07But anyway, what does it matter? We've had the most tremendous day.
0:43:07 > 0:43:12- In fact, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?- Yes!
0:43:12 > 0:43:16I know, you're sitting there thinking, "I could do better than that!"
0:43:16 > 0:43:19Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:19 > 0:43:23If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25It'll be splendid to see you!
